THE NORTHPORH FIRE.


CoLvILLE, Aug. is--ISpecial. THE death
of Charles Schild, which occurred as
Northport. In this county, on the 9th inst,
by being burned to death in the InterEa-
tionai hotel Is being attributed TO foul
play. 1t 10 claimed that schild. who was
a barkeeper in the hotel. had been
somewhat too intimate with the
wife of German citizen Of
the town. and not the best
feeling existed between the two men.
Schild had been drinking very heavily
during the evening of the fire and retired
quite late very much under the influence
OF liquor. The aggrieved husband, IL IL
thought. knowing that Sehiid could not
recover consciousness to escape from the
hotel in case OF FIRE. set fire to the building
late at night. As the fro did not occur
until two hours after Schild had retired,
there would appear to be some color TO the
theory

TEACHING THE BABY.
A Hint Of the Many Things That Puzzle the
InfantiIe Mind.

InfantiIe Mind.
How appalling it is to think what the
baby has to learnt Not the alphabet
ard TO READ and write, add, subtract,
multiply and divide and the mystery of
fractiors. Those will be snail matters.
IL is when you try to answer some of the
eager questions of 3-year-old childhood
that the fact of how much is to be
learned overpowers.
WAS the tree always a great big treess
asks the baby.
mo, it was little tree of two leaves
close to the ground, and it stretched and
grew, and every spring found it larger
and larger till it reached the roof of the
house, and this year it hangs its top
branches over it, and the tree keeps right
on growing
The lesson is learned, and all seems to
be well till later the child is found talk
ing to the rocking chair.
"Once you were little, little chair,
close TO the rug, and you grew and grew,
and now you are big enough for my
Mamma Gamny. and when you grow
more we can all sit in you"
but chairs do not grow. The chair
is made. A man made the chair just the
size it is now. He made it with hammer
and nails out Of pieces Of wood" And
shortly after the baby sees fatiron
and asks if it grew or if it was made.
And next she tells her mother that the
fatiron is made with hammer and nails
and quotes you as authority.
IF you drop that glass, it viii break"
but over goes her silver mug, and it
does not break, and she wants to know
the reason. And she is told it is too stiff,
and by the time she learns whether it
grew or was made with hammer and
nails or run in mold like fiat iron,
she finds her napkin on the floor. Is a
corner broken off the napkin, or is it too
stiff to break, and did it grow out of the
ground little napkin, or was it melted
and run, or did a man pound it together
out of pieces of wood?-Newport News.

The ParisIenne's Art Of Fascination.

-
The representative of a Paris silk
house was telling party of friends at
the Auditorium one day last week how
the Partisan woman manages to render
herself fascinating in spite of natural
disadvantage.
IAN English woman is beautiful by
nature or not beautiful" said he. "A
Parisienne can rarely compete with the
beautiful English woman in feature or in
complexion or purity of skin, but she
exerts such an effort of will in making
herself fascinating that she often sur
passes her rival in spite of natural dis
advantages. Take Rachel, for instance.
Nature gave her a thin face with large
and prominent forehead, deep set eyes,
a sunken mouth, pointed chin, scrag-
gy body and lean arms. Out of these
natural ma .erials the little Jewess, by
dint of genius, will, passion, love and
gold spent ON beautiful objects, made
the Rachel that men will ever remem-
