The heroine Of the Occasion.

"Flre!"
Wildly rang out the cry, rousing the
quiet neighborhood from its midnight
slumbers and filing the breasts OF the
startled denizens with the paralyzing.
blood -eurdling dread inseparable from
night alarm of fire. Windows were
hastily thrown up, heads were thrust
out, and trembling voices asked:
"Where is it?"
From the roof of large three-story
mansion the flames were mounting sky
ward, throwing ruddy glare over the
groups of men and boys hurrying along
the streets, and guiding only too surely
to the scene the fire companies whose
changing gongs grew nearer and nearer.
The house was seen TO be doomed.
Nothing could save it. Willing hands
were assisting in carrying out through
the wide open front door bundles OF
garments, bed-clothes, cakes of soap,
brooms, piano covers, water buckets,
towels, and wssh-basinS. and throwing
out of the windows the valuable mir
rors, rare old china and costly paint
ings that were more easily saved in
that way.
But the roar OF the flames warned
them that they must hasten.
us everybody out of the sleeping
rooms?" inquired the father OF the fam
lily, as he stopped moment TO wipe
the sweat and CRIME from his face.
"Yes-nol'' exclaimed the half-dis-
tracted mother, looking hastily over
the group that stood on the opposite
sidewalk. "Where is Veronica?"
The eldest daughter was not there.
The mother ran back into the burn
ing building and called frenziedly up
the stairway:
Veronica! Veronica"
And voice from an upper room
calmly responded:
IF you think, mamma, I'm going to
come down before | get my side-oangs
curled you're nightly mistaken.

Men VINO Ahuse prlvIleges.

ChambermaidS at swell hotels soon
become great students of human ma
ture. 1t does not take them long to
size up either the social or financial
standing of the guests.
For instance, one showed her acumen
in this direction the other day when l
happened 10 call her attention to the
array Of six towels on the rack over the
washstand in the bathroom.
Think that extravaganza" said the
bright young woman. "Well, don't
you make any mistake"
"But it must cost the house a lot for
laundry bills" l ventured.
mot BIT Of it," she replied viva
ciously. "Most OF our trade here is
first class. No one uses a lot OF towels
unless they are not used to them at
home. Men who are accustomed to
the luxuries of life do not take advan-
tage of the supply. 1t is only the class
who usually wipe their faces on roller
towels who abuse our generosity"
And doubtless the girl knew what she
was talking about.

The Patient Mule.

An English traveller passed through
this city Yesterday on his way to Lon
don. He spent three months in the
United States seeing things. A friend
asked what was the most interesting
thing he saw in the country, and he an
swered without hesitation that it was a
mule. Then he explained that he had
visited certain mines, where mules were
used to haul the tramcars, and their
wonderful patience and intelligence
had made on him q deep impression.
Some of the tunnels were so low that
the animals had to hold their heads
down and partly stoop to go through,
but there was never any trouble. he
pointed out a characteristic OF the mule
that makes him unlike horse. Many
Americans have noticed it. II horse
touches his ears in going under a low
bridge, or through tunnel, he will in
variaoly throw his head up and receive
a hard knock. When mules ears
touch anything his head goes down. In
some parts of this country it is a high
compliment to q man to say he has as
much sense as mule.

Love OF publicity.

The itch for publicity is likely to in
crease rather than diminish in this
country. 1t is one Of our national char
acteristics. and all of the conditions are
calculated TO stimulate it as time passes.
We take lively interest in PERSONAL
ties, not from curiosity alone, but be-
cause the individual amounts to more
here than anywhere else in the world.
There is a general desire to know as
much as possible about conspicuous per-
sons, with o view to making accurate
estimates Of them, and rendering
them al the honor TO whom they are
Justly entitled. The public man who
withhods Information Of that sort Is re-
garded with distrust and suspicion.
There is nothing more offensive to the
American public than secrecy and mys-
terry with reference TO those whom 1t is
asked to indorse and support. 1t re-
sents any appearance OF concealmept in
such case. and much prefers to have
the man talk freely Of himself, even to
the extent OF duplicating the immeasur-
able conceit Of Malvolio and seeming to
be "his own statue erected by national
subscription"

he triangles coming together in the
Sront. These pieces at their widest,
ssbere they reached the arm, were but
title more than hand width. The gown
VAS, therefore, practically q princess.
Pom the TOD at the neck, TO we'll over
tx hips, il fitted smoothly the lines OF
u natural figure. There was evident
i no boning or binding. From below
che hips the skirt widened little, to al
low Of easy and graceful movement. A
generous box-pleat, set just below the
curve of the back, gave fullnesS for a
train. The sleeves were big, loose puffs,
and reached only half way 10 the elbow,
the pink, round arms being bare the
rest of the way.
The daring Of the dress was TO my
mind rather its color than its cut. IL
was a salmon-pink, so near the tint OF
the flesh that but for the embroidered
pieces at the top one could hardly have
told where the dress began. The girl
was a pure blonde, with flaxen hair and
blue eyes. Her hair was drawn into a
loose coil, and bandeau Of gold showed
over the brow. She was lovely. Every
move was graceful. After all, why are
not the natural lines better than srtiti-
cial ones? Yet this dress was cOnsid-
cred daring when worn by very beau
tiful creature, and would certainly
never do for a plain woman.

A RusBIan Dog which Goes Into Hyp-
motto frances.

motto frances
All ST. Petersburg has gone wild over
something new, dog which goes of
into hypnotic frances. This remarka-
BILE belongs to NJ. Durov, who was
awarded a gold medal by the Paris
Academy OF Sciences for his original in
vestigation and discoveries in the
science Of hypnotism as applied to ami
mails and its effect upon them. Several
tests have been made OF the animal In
the presence of no less person than DR..
Afanasiev, of the war department. One
Of the tests, related by the New
York Recorder, consisted In plac-
ing several articles. as pencil, cigar
case, handkerchief, cuff button, ETC.,
on the floor. Then the dog, having
been thrown into a hypnotic trance by
him, NJ. Durov requested one OF the au-
dlence, which consisted also OF several
other physicians OF renowE and some
newspaper men, to think about some
thing and what the dog was TO do with
il, then to write IL out on piece OF
paper and show 1t to the rest OF the au-
dience, excepting, of course, himself.
This was done, aud, the dog having
been brought in, what was the aston
ishment OF the whole assemblage to see
the animal COUP to the cigar case,
pick il up and bring 1t to the one who
had been indicated in the
wish. Another test consisted
in laying several cubes with figures on
them in a certain order in closed box.
At the same time several pieces OF paper
were put upon the floor bearing like
numbers on each. The dog was then
called in and required to place the pieces
of paper in the same order as the cubes
were laid in the closed and sealed box.
This he did, to the astonishment of all
assembled. The strangeness Of the
whole procedure is increased when it Is
remembered that NJ. Durov knows no
more about what is being done or wished
than does the dog, and is, therefore, en-
tirely unable TO in any way prompt him.

Mrs. Tibbs, the woman charged to-
gether with her son, of the murder OF
Sam McCloud at Brick Row, on Satur-
DAY night, hung herself with her apron
string In the MOundsville jail, Tuesday
night. This is the result of drunken
brawl. II is probable that the woman
was so overcome with remorse when
she became thoroughly sober that she
determined TO take her own life rather
than go through the ordeal Of a trial.
