There used to be a curious character
named Vellet down in Fulton county. Ind.
He was noted over his whole section as the
greatest eater and the firmest believer in
"signs" that ever sat on the banks of Eel
river and angled for bass. He planted his
corn in the dark of the moon and laid rail
fence in the light. He sheared his sheen
when the sign was in the head, and laid
bare his own neck from the winters growth
OF beard when the zodiac pointed to Taurus.
He shingled his barn in the moons first
quarter, and gathered his seed corn when
Cancer was king. He wouldn't ride behind
a horse that hadn't been broken in the sign
OF the reins, and when Scorpio ruled he

Ing on earth he didn't believe could be
properly done in the signs, and nothing
that didn't threaten destruction if the
signs were disregarded

fact that he paid no more attention to the
signs, which were so large part Of Vel
let's economy, than he did to the color Of
the clouds at midnight. Finally Vellet

gan had her in his arms, badly burned, it
is true, but not fatally hurt. He held her
up and great cry arose 1t was echoed
cheer on cheer through all the adjacent
streets.
"A girl-a nine-year-old girl-and alive
yes, alive under ali that wreck"
And then more cheers for the gallant
firemen. And yet was the cheering less
strange than the weeping The ordinarily
reserved New York nature gave way and
hundreds of people in whom one would
have thought the emotions to be dead
sobbed in their excitement. 1t was Mamie
Heagney, whose parents were crazed with
grief. Her little three-year-old sister,
Annie. had died near her, but her brother,
Peter five years old, had gone away just
before the collapse and thus escaped.
Soon details of other marvellous escapes
were heard. One boy had fallen all the
five stories under a heavy engine which
had, nevertheless, saved him from serious
hurt. One waiter had escaped from the
front of the restaurant, another from the
back. A few girls had escaped by rear
window. And SO on. But of the $50 or
more known 20 have been in the building
very few are accounted for. All the rest,
at least 100. were instantly killed. The
horrible sights revealed as the workmen,
one squad succeeding another day and
night, tore away the wreck may easily be
imagined. And as TO whether the calam-
ity was due to a defective building, an ex-
plosion or the heavy presses, we must
await the slow action of a coroner's jury.

heaviest printing business west of Broad
way. And never is it buster than at 1890
on Saturdays, when the usual half holiday
has but just begun. And just at that hour
came the most appalling calamity the me-
tropolis has suffered in many years-the
collapse of the Taylor building, which ex.
tends $50 feet along Park place.
A few children were at play on the side
walk, and in the restaurant every seat was
occupied, and few men stood by waiting
for a seat
There was sudden jar, a grinding
sound a flash of dust and smoke and flame
then instant death 80 at least a hundred
persons. The whole vast building swayed,
quivered for IA second, collapsed and sank
in a murderOus mass upon the victims. In
less time than it takes to tell it the wreck
was wrapped in flames and dark yellow
sheets of fire were pouring from the adj
joining windows. In five minutes more
the police Gordon was formed and several
engines were pouring water on the ruins.
Another five minutes and tens of thou
sands of people pressed upon the police,
while here and there were heard screams
and sobs and unavailing cries for friends
and relatives known to have been in the
building or near it, The saddest group,
perhaps was in the home of Eugene r.
Heagney, near by, whose three children
were on the sidewalk just before the crash.
The frantic father screamed and struggled
to get to the ruin but was held back. AS
fast as the fire would permit, the eager
workers tore away the bricks and timbers,
and at the end of two hours and a half
wild cry was heard.

heavy timbers had fallen side by side and
over them an iron shutter. Under it was
heard the cry of little girl The bricks

The RattIesnake Season.

Men who live in snake infested districts
have comparatively little fear of the effects
Of bite. The other day William Light
ner, of Beccaria township, Clarified coun-
ty Pa, was bitten on the wrist by huge
rattlesnake when some distance from
home. Having no whisky with him, he
took his knife and cut out the flesh into
which the fangs had pierced. Then he
sucked the wound, bandaged his arm and
beyond slight swelling he suffered but
little. At about the same time, near Mon
roe, Orange county, y. ", an eleven-year
old boy went out In the woods, saw huge
RATHER, seized him just back of the head
and carried him alive and squirming into
town. The residents frightened him with
their cries of alarm, and he would have re-
leased his hold had he not been warned to
cling tight and avoid being bitten. The
snake was finally secured around the head
and rendered helpless, after which he was
uncoiled and placed in a large box with a
glass window in it. On making an ex-
animation it was found that the snake had
nine rattles and button.

Let me commend the simplicity of the
organization of French municipal govern
ment. The people elect a council. varying
in numbers according to population upon
a scale fixed by general law. In all but
the large places the council is elected upon
a general ticket. The important cities are
usually divided into sections, or large
wards to each of which several councillors
are assigned, and the ward chooses its
councillors upon general ticket. The
councillors hold office for four years, and
all retire together-being of course eligible
for reelection. The English and Ameri-
can system of partial renewal annually or
biennially is contrary to French habits and
ideas.
The council names the mayor, and also
his executive assistants, from it's own
membership. The mayor is the presiding
officer of the council as well as the execu-
tive head of the municipality. His adj
juncts or executive assistants are desig-
mated by their fellow councillors. In large
places these number ten or twelve and
they have no executive duties except such
as are specifically assigned to them by the
mayor. The council holds four ordinary
sessions every year. each of which may last
for fifteen days, while the one in which the
dAnudl DuuEeb Is ulSCuSSeQ may ldSb Tor
six weeks. But the mayor may call extra
sessions at puy time, and he is Obliged to
convene w Dbdy upon request)of a ma
jority of the councillors.
The council appoints consultative com
mittees, which meet ad libitum between
sessions, with the mayor as nominal chair
man of each, while one Of his adjuncts is
more usually the actual chairman The
mayor has the appointing power and
names the minor officials of the commune,
subject IN some cases, however, to the APP
prevail of the project of the department.
With the advice of the council, and under
the surveillance of the departmental
authorities, the mayor executes the bust
ness of the commune The council has
large authority in the levying of taxes,
authorization of public works, provision
for education, etc, but in most of these
things its decisions must be approved by
the higher authorities Albert Shaw

HIS LILLE ERROR.
An Incident In the Career of a Young
and Happy Father.

The story is on young Chicago father.
The baby was bis first, and he wanted to
weigh it,
''It's a bounceri'' he exclaimed. "where
are the scales?"
The domestic hunted up an old fashioned
steelyard that had come down from a for
mer generation. 1t was the only weighing
machine in the house. The baby, wrapped
in the fleecy folds of some light fabric, was
suspended from the proper hook, and the
proud young father assumed charge of the
exercises
"pll try it at eight pounds" he said,
sliding the weight along the beam to that
figure.

How do you pronounce the word
"wound" Most people nowadays say
'woond," but the old dictionaries all say
"wownd," and all the poets, so far as the
Listener has ever heard, make the word
rhyme with Sound" The pronunciation
'woond' is undoubtedly an affectation;
but it has swamped the old sound The
other day friend of the Listener heard in
church hymn which had this word at the
end of a line and rhymed with "bound, ,"
but the choir, in singing it, pronounced it
"woond" in defiance of the rhyme. This
inspired the Listeners friend TO sake his
hymn book and write upon a flyleaf this
stanza of excellent doggerel to illustrate
the capabilities of this word in the way of
rhymes:
Behold, q stricken soul has swooned;
Where shall relief be found?
Where balm to soothe its bleeding wound
Its horrid, gaping wound?
Modern poets, by the way, are practically
debarred from using the word ''woond" at
the end of their lines by the scarcity Of
good rhymes for it. Perhaps "harpooned"
and "ballooned" and "swooned" have
certain relationship TO the idea of a wound,
but neither Of them is very practicable
