Queer Ideas Regarding n Fire Started by

Queer Ideas Regarding n Fire Started by
Lightning.
Ignorance is seen in it's true, colors
when it interfcrcs With the practical af-
fairs OF life and strikes a death1blow tn
prosperity and happiness. A traveller in
Russia writes in the English Illustrated
Magazine:
One village through which we passed
was the embodiment of filth and
Spuator. a destructive fire was raging,
III one end of it, and round this all the
inhabitants were gathered. One house
was already burned down, n second was
one mass Of flames, and the. fire was
rapidly spreading to a third. yet not a
hand was raised to arrest its ruinous
progress. 0aths, prayers, the wailing
OF women and whining of children filled
the air.
why ON earth do MT you put out the
fire. shouted my companion to one of
the peasants, who approached with q
%""Tile and wistful look, as if he ex-
p ted an offering of money. 'Have
y''u no bucl1ets?"
Surely your excellency deigns to
!:now that it isn't buckets we need!"
well, it isn't strong arms, either, I
fancy. Why don't you go to worl1?'
Your grace wouldn't have SLY in
the face of Heaven! We've sins enough
Oh our souls without adding that black
crime to them. Wasn't it Gods own
lightning that set Pctroff's house on
i.rc couple of hours ago? And bad as
We are, there's not II man in the village
that would raise his hand to undo Gods
holy work"
Ny friend raised his hand, waved it
dcsrairingly, and we drove on.
It's mere waste Of time to reason
with Them" he said. "Thcy would as
SOON commit suicide en- masse as put
cat a fire God had kindled with His
Lightning"

Three Costly Hothoases.


This is the season of the year when the
great army of gardeners employed by
New York's millionaires who have fad
for flowers are putting their hothouses in
shape for the winter. Imet Jay Gould's
chief gardener yesterday and he told me
that everything was in excellent shape
at the railroad kings $500, 900 hothouse
up the Hudson. A lot of choice plants
and exotics have just arrived from India
and other eastern countries.
John Hoey's difficulties have not de-
TERED him from looking after his pet
flowers in his grand hothouses at Holly
wood, N. J. am told his chief gardener
has had several conferences with Mr..
Hoey during the past two weeks about
his favorite flowers and their care. Mr..
Hoey is passionately fond of flowers, and
selects the seeds and bulbs himself, and
at times superintends the work of his
gardeners.
Another man who has half a million
dollar hothouse is the Standard oil king,
John D. Rockefeller, who has palace on
the Hudson. 1t has not been completed
long and his gardeners are constantly re-
ceiving new additions. Mr.. Rockefeller
saysthe will have the finest flower show
in the world in a year or two.-New York
Telegram.

Crime Decreasing.

All the criminal returns published of
late,have happily tended to show that
crime is decreasing. The judicial sta
tistics for the past year bear the same
testimony. Whether under the head of
criminal classes at large" or sin local
and convict prisons and reformatories,"
the figures show steady decline. The
same is true of the houses of bad char
acter, by which is meant such as are
the resort of thieves, depredators and
suspected persons. In England and
Wales there are 2,6ss houses of this de-
scription.
1t seems rather odd to be told that of
these 345 are public houses and 265 beer
shops, because if they are known resorts
OF such characters, why are their licenses
not Withdrawn! Is. it for the reason
once given by French administrator
that they serve the ends of the law by
providing places where those who are
wanted by the police can easily be
found? The known houses of receivers
of stolen goods had declined from IT'S
two years ago to 724 last year.-London
Telegraph.

During one year alone Philadelphia
has devoured 1856, ,475 slaughtered and
dressed calves, 511, ,142 sheep, 54S, $40
hogs and 59, 300 barrels and 81 800 boxes
of poultry. The hens who were spared
from the hatchet had to lay for the city
IL, ,984 900 dozen eggs. Over 312, 1873 bar
rels of apples had to be shaken from the
trees and 1908 carloads of potatoes dug
up from the ground. During the twelve
months the city made havoc of II, ,11S
packages of dried green peas, lis, ,521
packages of dried fruit and 355, 1897
packages of berries. The cooks con-
sumed 16, ,489 tierces and 75,031 tubs of
lard, and in the kitchen and on the table
disappeared from view the tremendous
amount of 256, ,591 tubs, 80, 1884 firkins
and 81, ,S46 boxes of butter. A huge heap
of crackers must have been swallowed
along with the 226, ,459 big boxes of
cheese.
During one year Philadelphia con-
sumed nearly $500, 900 bushels of grain,
including nearly 1,500,0 900 bushels of
corn, ST., sos bushels of wheat, 9S, 425
bushels of rye, 1 ,056, 300 bushels of bar
ley and 203, 900 bushels of malt. Out of
these 77,50s bushels of wheat were
manufactured $4,000 barrels of -four,
and from this -four were baked 80, $50,
$40 loaves of bread. Most of the -four
used by the bakers and the good house
wives is shipped from the northwest, al
ready barreled. This manufactured into
bread would easily swell the total to
nearly 150, ,000, 900 loaves, or their equivi-
lent to a certain extent In rolls, buns
and bakery.
Philadelphia eats daily an enormous
barbecue of $40 calves, 1 1,410 sheep, 1910
hogs and 1850 poultry, besides huge
banquet Of at least 100000 oysters,
525, ,52e eggs, $50 barrels of apples and
carloads Of potatoes.-Philade adelphia Rec

Rewards to the Good and Bad.

Every schoolgirl and boy in Bellmore,
L. l., knows Lawyer: George A. Mott.
A few days ago he visited the village
school in that place with the pockets of
his overcoat bulging out with prizes for
the pupils. The prizes were for good
conduct and excellence in different
studies. More than dozen boys and
girls were made happy. Two prizes
still remained, and then Mr. Mott re-
quested the teacher, Miss Fish, to call
up the worst boy in the school. A bright
eyed urchin named Clinton Moore was
produced by Miss Fish in response to Mr..
Motifs request He was presented with
one of the remaining prizes and promised
to try to do better. When Mr.. Mott
asked for the worst girl in the school
saucy Jennie Hicks raised her hand. She
received the other prize.-New York

reading lately very clever novel about
English artist life and English smart
society. Twice over in the story a smart
young woman is made to describe GER
tain articles of costume in a brides
trousseau as .'quite too awfully trotty
for words" have never to my knowl-
edge heard the phrase ''trotty" used in
that sense. Is it an epithet of London
smart society? If SO, what is its sup
posed derivation? Is it imported from
America, as most of our slang phrases
lately are? Any information on this
point kindly supplied will be rewarded
with the best thanks Of this writer, who
feels considerable interest in slang,
but likes 1T genuine when he can get it.

The Waif Found BY VIM. Morris on
His Front Door Step.

On last Thursday morning about one
o'clock, VIM. Morris, . colored man liv-
ing with his wife at the residence of the
latter's mother, Josephine Young, on
Beech street, was awakened by noise
as If Of the crying Of baby. The noise
seemed 90 close that Norris arose and
started to investigate, and on opening
the front door found a babe lying on the
front step wrapped in piece Of blanket
1t was apparently only few hours old,
and had received little or none of the
attention usually awarded new arrivals,
although that fact did not disconcert it
in the least or deter it from making the
regulation amount Of noise. The infant
was taken in and properly cared for.
There Is not the slightest clue to the
parentage Of the waif or the persons who
80 cruslly abandoned il to its iate., 1t is
probably Of white descent, or if colored
the tinge is 90 slightas not to be discern

Where Did You Get That Hat +?

On Tuesday evening about five o'clock
we'll dressed young stranger, apparent
ly not over nineteen years Of age, enter.
ed Barrett's Bee Hive Store ostensibly
to make apurchase, and, after he had
looked around awhile, was observed to
pick up felt hat from the counter and
slip it under his coat. Mr.. Barrett at
once confronted him and asked what he
had under his coat, but the fellow did
not seem to want to disgorge and broke
out the door and across High street like
deer. Everybody in sight made bluff
at catching him as he went down Main
street, but he gained Feibel's alley in
safety, and if Policeman Huston hadn't
been up the alley would probably have
escaped. As it was he ran straight into
the arms of the law and was locked up.
He gave his name as Jas. Berner, of Co.
lumbus, O., He was badly frightened
and ratified when brought before the
Mayor and was allowed postponement
of his trial until he could send for his
mother.
