Brainy Men Have Loafed.
From the Washington Post
Many memories cluster about the cigar
shop at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
and Four-aud- a-Half street. Years ago
Joseph Shilingtop had book shop and
news stand there. 1t is said that he was the
first man TO keepson sale out-of-town news
papers. In their day it was the rendezvous
for Daniel Webster. Henry Clay, John G..
Calhoun, Chief Justice Marshall and other
men now well known in history. Shilling
ton has gone the way of all flesh, and the
books aud periodicals gave away to cigars
and tobacco What stories those old walls

Farther west in the same block stood ia

that often when it was found impossible to
muster quorum in the Senate or House the
missing statesmen could be found here.
Draw poker was the chiof game at Pendle-

old Virginia family of that name. After
his death the ROOMS were given over to more

A GOOD DOG STORY.

The best dog story that has act
ually occurred in real life was in con-
nection with toll-gate upon the
Great North road. 1t was kept by
two sisters, who were very timid,
and especially in winter time, when
the impossibility of getting to the
town to bank their money caused
them to have considerable sums in
their keeping. A blacksmith of their
acquaintance called one day and made
light of their apprehensions. THE
night mail goes by at midnight, and
the patrol at all times" he said,
land besides, your doors and win
dows are very strongly barred"
THAT is true enough" they replied,
but our bedroom window is not
barred, and a burglar has only to
put up the chicken ladder and we
should be at his mercy" Then
peddler came by whom they knew,
and their talk with the blacksmith
had so increased their fears that
they besought him for that night to
guard the house for them. He said:
II can't do that, but here's my
mastiff dog, and l will leave him with
you till morning. l pity the burglar
that he once gets hold Of" The poor
women put the dog in their bedroom,
and in the dead of night they heard
the chicken ladder placed against
their window; and the mastiff heard
it, and commented upon it in very
deep but low tones. When a man
with black mask made his way in
at the window he was received by
the faithful animal, who flew at his
throat and pinned him to the floor.
The poor women had seen quite
enough of this exciting contest, and
fled away, half dressed, over the
snow to the blacksmiths cottage,
which was the nearest habitation to
the toll-gate, but the blacksmi
was not at home. He was, in fact,
very particularly engaged at that
moment with the mastiff, and in the
morning was found unmasked and
dead at his feet London Letter by

DANGER FROM CELLULOID COMBS

A woman stood in close proximity
to gas-jet in order to read a paper,
when suddenly she perceived a scent
of something burning in the room,
and turning, she noticed in the look
ing glass, that the comb in her hair
had caught fire from the heat of the
flame. 1t was only after her hair
was singed, and her hands and face
burned, that she pulled the comb
from her hair. Her wounds were Of
such a nature as to demand her re-
moval TO the hospital. The second
case was that of woman coming
in close contact with light. She
heard cracking sound, and saw a
bright light above her, and raising
her hand to her head, succeeded in
pulling out the burning comb in pieces
with the singed hair attached to
it. The third case Of similar nature
occurred to young lady while lean
ing over kerosene lamp to blow it
out. In attempting to do this the
comb in her hair caught fire, and she
almost lost her entire hair from the
upward shooting flame. Celluloid
combs are highly inhammable, and
should never be worn in the hair by
women when there is the slightest
danger of their being exposed to a
heat sufficient to set them on fire.
