The Fire Escape Neglect-Tempting
Providence.

Inc fIfe EScdpo pbAhS
Providence.
In the matter of the West Orange
Board of Health proposing to destroy
the fever infected house, owned by a
MI. Condit, in which an entire family
died, the Court of Chancery ruled,
yesterday, that public safety IS a
paramount consideration and that
all private interests must give way
before it.
Evidently the officials of this city
have not yet caught the spirit
of this legal dictum. The pub
lie safety appears to be held
of no account here as compared
with the greed of a handful of real
estate owners and agents. 1t is now
more than a year since a very tolera-
BILE fire escape law was passed by the
Legislature, vesting the Board OF
Aldermen of this city with power to
have proper means of safety provided
in all our Office and factory buildings
and crowded tenements. During all
the year that the law has been opera
tive our Board of Aldermen has fla

with a tale of panic and death from
New York. A teeming hive Of indus
try was in a moment turned into a
CHASTITY charnel house. Men and
women crowded the insufficient fire
escapes and pushed each other head
long TO death, while it is probable
that some who could not escape in
time were smothered or scorched out
of existence in the blazing structure.
Without exception, every office
building in this city is liable to be-

worse tragedy. Not one of them is

Filling a Basket with Water.

An Eastern king was once in need
OF a faithful servant and friend. He
gave notice that he wanted a young
man to do a days work, and two men
came and asked 10 be employed. He
engaged them both for certain fixed
wages, and set them to work TO fill a
basket with water from neighbor-
ing well, saying he would come in the
evening and see their work. He then
left them to themselves and went
away.
After putting one or two bucket
fulS, one OF them said:
What is the good Of doing this
useless work? As soon as we put wa
ter in on one side, it runs out on the
other"
The other man answered:
But we have our days wages,
haven't we? The use Of the work is
the masters business, not ours
Il am not going to do such fools
work, replied the other, aud throw
ing down his bucket, he went away.
The other man continued his work,
till. about sunset, he exhausted the

something shining at the bottom.
He let down his bucket once more,
and drew up precious diamond RUG.
Now see the use Of pouring wa

himself. III the buckets bad brought
up the ring before the we'll was dry.
it would have been found in the bas-
ket. The labor was not useless after
all"
But he had yet to learn why the
king had ordered this apparently use
less task! 1t was TO test their capac-
ity for perfect obedience, without
which no servant is reliable.
At this moment the king came up
to him. and, as he bade the man to
keep the ring, he said:
Thou hast been faithful in a little
thing; now see can trust you in
great things Henceforward thou
shalt stand at my right hand.

TO LET.

We've lived here five years and
you haven't lost a dollar by us. When
George comes home he'll lave the
money, said the little woman, who,
with her small family, occupied the
house.
Il want my money when its due,
not two weeks afterwards, reiterated
the landlord I'm losing flesh trying
to collect my rent regularly" and he
shufiied Off.
Hes dead mean,' said the little
woman hes shark, that's what
he is. Id like to see him get me out
when l pay my rent regularly-if it
amt just to the minute.
Then she sat down and formulated
a little womans plan of action, which
is always victorious.

the puzzled landlord torn down the
card and renewed the lease.

SuysroR.

The Russian marshal Suyaroh was
famous IA jester, and WAS fond OF
confusing the men under his command
by asking them unexpected and ao-
surd questions. But occasionally he
met his match Thus, one bitter Jan
uarv night, such as Russia only can
produce, he rode up to a sentry and
demanded
How many stars are there in the
skyT'
The soldier, not a whit disturbed,
answered, coolly,-
Wait a little and I'll tell you.
And he deliberately commenced
counting. "One, two, three" etc.
When he had reached one hundred
Suyaroff. who was half frozen, thought
it high time to ride of, not, however
without inquiring the name OF the
ready reckoner. Next day the latter
found himself promoted.-LiPpine0tt'. s.

week or two, and then troughs:are
sunk in the groLnd and the water
run into and over them. 1t requires
four or five weeks for the animals to
make up their minds that these
tioughs are not deadly traps, intend
ed for their instant destruction. After
they drink once from the troughs
their fear disappears and they never
again object to them.
To get the animals into corral or
small inclosure is another task re-
quiring patience and ingenuity.
Within one or two hundred feet OF
the watering place their captors
build a corral about four hundred
feet in circumference. Ii Is made
perfectly close, boarded up and down,
seven feet high, and with a gate six
teen feet wide. Two wings extend In
V shape from the gates, to distance
OF 800 feet. These wing fences are
made OF smooth wire, with stats at
tached every twelve inches. The wild
and tame horses are driven into these
wings together. After the tame
horses have gotten in the wild horses
will make a rush, and will all want to
get in at the same moment The in-
slant they are in the men shut the
gates like lightning, and the circus
begins
The horses dash around like crazy
creatures aud il takes long time FOR
them to discover that they are not
going to be killed on the spot. They
are kept in the corral over night and
are let out quickly in the morning.
By feeding them in the corral aud
avoiding all excitement they are grad
ually accustomed to this close con
tinement. IL takes six months TO get
them used TO their quarters, and after
that time they will file in each night
one by one OF their own accord. The
wild horses are now ready TO use on
the ranch.
All YOU have 10 do is to break them
every time you hitch them up.

TWO PICTURES.

Here stood the passionate. eager, dreaming
boyi
Aglow with life, how should he speculate
Upon the chances OF his coming fate,
Bewildered, then, by all uence oijoy:
His hope and him what fortune could de-
stroy?
The one harsh word he ever heard was
Waltz
For he would leap al once to mans estate,
And cast youth by, like a discarded toy.
Now see the man-grown old before his day
Hesrt-sick, brain-weary, seeing nothing
clear;
Twlxt him and boyhood stand in dread ar
ray
Ghosts Of dead dreams-pale shapes that
mock and jeer-
While dark and gaunt and vast not faraway,
Death beckous him, and whispers, u am
