Cheap Toys Are Best.
Harper's Bazaar.

Who of us that remembers how the bats
tered old everyday doll held the first place
in our heart which the best doll, proudly
produced on company occasions, held in
our vanity, but will recognize the deep In
tuition of NJ. De Gourmond's assertion
that the elegantly dressed doll, In all the
pomp and circumstance Of the shop Is once
and forever only a fine lady or a peasant a
bride or a baby. while the everyday doll
is ''all that and all the rest" according
to the divine inspiration given to the little
child, which suppresses for her pleasure
time and space retaining only the idea,
all powerful in the art Of metamorphoses."
To conjecture how much Of nursery
naughtiness is due to the misapplied indul-
gence OF parents In the matter OF costly
and valueless toys would carry us too far
But surely NJ. De Gourmond is right in as.
sorting that ii is not without reason that
children rebel against that prison of the
fact to which, with their dolls that talk
and steam engines that pun, parents try
to condemn them In their plays as in theic
duties. And looking into the ways OF
French children we have right TO con-
clude that it is because the door to the
ideal is still left wide open for them In
their plays that they rebel so little against
that prison of the fact which is moro
straitly around them in matters Of duty
and discipline than is the case with our
own children. For. the shop windows an5

standing it is certain that French chilorek
are less INDUCED in the matter of toys

ALMOST A PANIC.
A Cry OF Fight at the Park Theater
Is Misinterpreted.

During the performance at the Park
Theater last night there was a panic
created in the audience by some excitable
person crying fire. There was slight COM
motion in the gallery among several small
boys and some one cried fight. This was
heard down stairs and misunderstood for
the cry of fire The cry was taken up
there and repeated once. This was enough
to create a panic and there was imme-
diately a mad rush for the doors. 1t was
but second after the false alarm had
been given till the aisles were filled with
men and women struggling against one
another to reach the doors. while yet
others were pushing excitedly against the
crowds in the aisles in their efforts 20 get
out. Men sprang over the backs of the
seats and it seemed as If nothing could
stop the crowd
The doorkeepers and ushers stood in the
aisles and tried to keep back the crowd,
telling them that there was no cause for
alarm but IL was not needed till the theater
was half emptied. When il was learned
that there was in fact no cause at all for
the alarm those persons who had rushed
from the house filed slowly back to their
seats and the play continued.

Cold Boiling Water.
st. Louis Republic.


Gold boiling water, indeed! Boiling wa.
ter is the hottest kind of thing. Don't
know? Haven't / scalded my fingers more
than once with water from the teaketue1'
James is right and yet he is wrong. Boil
ing water is not always very hot water. In
spite of his painful experience. This Is the
way il happens: When water boils or
dinarily it is because great heat has sep
arated the tiny particles of the water,
forcing upward and outward in lively bub-
bles the air which is contained In them.
This is done in spite of the downward
pressure of the atmosphere. After the wa
ter has become hot enough to boil IL can
get no hotter, because the air escapes as
fast as it is sufficiently heated to do So
There are places on the earth where the
pressure of the atmosphere upon the water
is SO slight that it requires but little heat
to push apart the particles and set free the
air bubbles which are confined in the water.
so it begins to boil before it becomes very
hot. It ought hardly TO be called cold wa
fer perhaps but it is certainly far from be-
ing as hot as ordinary boiling water. This
state of things is found on top OF all nigh
mountain tops, as the atmosphere grows
weaker and it's pressure less as one as
cendS.
A gentleman travelling at a great eleva-
ton In the Andes mountains put some po-
tatoes i'm a rot of water over hot nre.

Detectives Jeffries and Grady, of the Big
Four company, have succeeded In unearth-
ing gang of small thieves who have been
responsible for the disappearance of con-
siderable amount Of property from the COM
pany's cars. Last night they arrested Mil
ton Jackson, a, boy residing with his par
ents on Stevens street, and sent him to
the police station for receiving stolen
goods. Young Jackson had in his posses
sion a number of pocket knives that had
been stolen from the cars. The officers

The following extra-judicial decis-
ion is said to have been delivered
some years ago by judge In South
srn city. A man had been brought
before him on warrant for vagrancy.
The evidence was utmistakable, and
the young lawyer defending the man
saw that the case was hopeless.
While badgering his wits to know
what to say, however, he noticed that
his client was fairly well-dressed, and
called the attention of the court to
that fact, declaring that no man who
wore good clothes" could with pro-
priety be considered vagrant, as.
that word signifed a ragged, dirty
vagabond. Observing that the court
made memorandum of good clothes, :"
he wisely sat down without further
remarks.
When the prosecuting attorney had
finished what he had to offer, the
Judge, who was blessed with a fine,
rich brogue, said: THE cart, having
ittintively hazard the ividince and the
remarks ay COUNSEL, is av the opinion
that, inasmuch as the prisoner wears
good clothes, he cannot properly be
considered a vagrant; but, as he has
not shown to the satisfaction of the
cart, how he obtained thin clothes,
shall bind him over for simple lar
ceny%
He was so bound over, and the pa
pers are on record in the County
Clerks office.
