CLEVELAND, O., March 24-A holo-

stories high, built of pressed brick. The
building was one Of the most modern
design and had recently been thorough
ly reftted at enormous expense The
building was occupied by nearly fifty
tenants.
The fire started in closet used for
storing clothing, located under stair
way which led to the second story
above the basement, and must
have burned some time before dis
covery. From this point the spread
Of the flames was rapid. The broad
halls and stairways made fue through
which the flame roared and crackled,
destroying everything in Its path.
Within five minutes after the discovery
of the flames, person could not live
for minute in any of the rooms
The first action of the fire department
was to save the lives Of the inmates.
To the second and third stories ladders
were hastily placed On them the fire.

The smoke was awful and they with
difficulty CROPPED their way through the
hallway. Stretched out in the main

assist her respiration and doubled up
in knot, lay the body Of woman. 1t
was found to be that of Mrs, Sommers,
the wife of c. A. Sommers, a book
keeper at Stephens & Widlar'a
By this time the fremen were forced
from the front part of the building.
When an entrance was finally effected

Of the firemen. In one small room In

A Speech From the G%uillotine.

One of the most CHASTITY executions Of
the French revolution was that of the
Marquis de Marville. While standing on
the scaffold awaiting the completion of the
preliminary arrangements, the marquis
addressed a few words to the assemblage
Of people.
He was proceeding to say that before he
died he wished to open their eyes to the
truth when he was seized by the execu-
toner and forced under the knife. With
the utmost sang froid the marquis contin-
ued: Educated as l was among a priyi-
legged class, l voluntarily abandoned nv
friends to live among you, to earn my
daily bread side by side with you, and I
have always acted like a good patriot
At this moment the knife fell. The gull
lotine was, however, in such constant req
uisition that it was frequently out of order.
Upon this occasion the knife fell, but did
not sever the vertebrn, although the flesh
was horribly m%angled. The executioner
and his assistants raised the knife anew.
AS soon as they had done so the marquis,
still lying face downward, continued, LAS
| was saying, fellow citizens, when I was
interrupted And again the knife fell,
this time accomplishing it's CHASTITY work.

WOmau'g Breakinp Down.

Women, says a well known physician,
are breaking down more rapidly han men.
The reason of this is that they allow them
selves to take less real rest. When a man
drops business, he drops it. When a wom-
an let's go Of any work she may have on
her mind, she ties it to her apron strings,
as it were. She has been taught through
long years of training that it is high crime
and m~isdemeanor to let anything escape
ner mind. So, when she is supposed to be
at rest, she is constantly pinching herself
10 see if she hasn't forgotten something.
In this way she carries her burden into her
resting hours and sits down among the
roses of relaxation, with her foot on the
treadle that turns the grindstone of drudg-
cry.
If men kept their noses to the grindstone
as persistently as women, they would be
nervous and irritable beyond compare"
II women would get their W consent 10
rest, they would nave better complexiops,
better stomachs and q happier life.-New

Jewels That Blinded.

The Grand Duchess Marie Fedorovna
princess ct Wurtemberg, wife of the Crane
Duke Paul, u son and successor of Gather
inc the Great of Russia, at a festival giver
in her honor by Marie Antoinette at the
Little Trianon, June 6, 1889, wore on he1
head a little bird of precious stones, SO bril-.
liant that it panied the eyeto look at it. 1t
was set SO as to swing and beat it's wings
over a rose.
Upon another occasion the duke was en-
tertained with great pomp at Chantilly by
the Prince Of Condo. At a dinner given in
the castle the table was covered with an al
most in~exhaustible supply of gold and sill
yer plate. After each course the servants,
without noise or confusion, threw all the
magnificent vessels out of the windows, but
nothing was lost. The precious vessels,
jugs and dishes fell into the water of the
moat, from which they were taken out in
large nets.-Jewelers' Weekly.

In a volume issued by Mr.. Walter Jer-

Smith:
THE whole story of my life has been
passed like a razor--in hot water or a
sCrape."
"There is the same difference between his
tongue and mine as between the minute
and the hour hand--one goes 10 times as
fast and the other signifies 10 times as
much"

They are all first cousins, and 1 wish them

"Why are you doing that?" "Oh, to please

Shy people crumble their bread at din
ner. do it when I dine with the bishop
OF London, and when l sit by the archbish-
op l do it with both hands"
"The church's ordinances of feasts and
fasts are tolerably we'll kept up. The rich
keep the feasts and the poor the fasts."
