The OIL stove Once More Gets In
ITS Work.

The Mission board of the First Baptist
church wished to hold a meeting in the
pastors study last evening and about
O'Clock the janitor fired up an oil stove
to heat the room. In a few minutes the
ianitor heard an explosion and rushing
to the study saw birs of the stove flying
through the air, while the carpet was on
FIRE. He carried water with which to
fight the fire while someone who was
near ran to box 462, in front of Powell
& Snider's, and turned in an alarm. The
depart trnent turned out, but did nothing,
as the fire had been extinguished in a
short time. A few yards of carpet were
ruined and the stove was wrecked.

settled, however, and that is that Judge

She Got a Seat,

very pretty girl stepped into a crowd
ed car on the College avenue line. She
belonged i'll the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up. The car was
full. but everybody else had a seat. Seven
men held down the mos available ones.
and. strange to relate. not u OF them
appeared to be aware that a young wom-
an was compelled to stand.
The pretty girl. with a quick glance
disgust about the car. took in the situa
ton and blushed somewhat Indignantly.
She had a long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to a strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession of her classical mind.
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among a few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end Of the car. This is part #
the plan. but it is executed d~exterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, How awkward of me-
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but even men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artfu'
maiden dropped into . comfortable sect
with a sigh and deity hid a roguish smile.
The scent piece was rendered by a man
who assumed her place at the strap. She
thanked him and looked all innocence

puriaO Marble,

1t has often been said that the Parian
marble was exhausted by the a%ncients.
but such is not the case. The chief
Athenian sculptor of today, Mr.. Broutos,
uses it commonly for his finer work,
though he also uses the Pentelec marble
for large statues and groups. The Parian
is whittier. the Pentelec inciining to gray.
The latter is sandy and gritty as COM
pared with the Parian. while the defect
of the Parian marble is It's larger crys-
talline character. especially if it is not
carefully 4uarTied, The best of the
modern quarries are free from this fault
and it is this which Professor Broutos
uses. His reliefs of the Twelve Gods
all exceedingly beautiful, and partic-
ularly the ''Pallas' and .Mars"-are
carved in slabs of the most transparent
Parian marble.
There is now IL chance for some ener.
getic American to corner all the Pa
rian marble in the world, except thai
which has left the quarry and been
carved into statues, temples. etc. An
islander of Paro>. who owns the marble
mountain. wishes to sell it subject to a
lease, which is not likely to be operative,
because the leasing parties have ex.
hausted themselves in building tracks,
elevators and such things to get the mar.

A Paris correspondent tells a good
story of the late Baron de Reinach. Some
time before the baron.s tragic demise a
fancy dress ball was given ut a friends
house. and he was among the invited
guests. During the early part of the
evening every was astonished by the
vagaries Of IA visitor who had donned the
cap and bells and fooled it, so %cleverly
as to attract general attention. Every
one was anxious to know who it was.
but he declined to reveal his identity.
When the time came to throw off the
masks. TO the astonishment Of all it was
seen to lie NJ. de Reinach.
The baron accepted the compliments of
his fellow maskers and was the hero of
the evening. 1t was not until some time
afterward that it was ascertained that he
had played ii joke on the people. He had
engaged the services of a clown from the
circus. who was much of the same build
as himself. and had two dresses made
alike. The clown whose acrobatic feats
attracted SO much attention was the
circus performer. and NJ. de Reinach only
took his place at the end to surprise his
friends and receive their congratulations.

The Question Of Food and Drink.

Fancy being confronted with the ques.
ton, What kind 81 food and drink do
you PREFER and only half of . rather
narrow page in which to inscribe the an.
swer. How could one answer such a
question in such a space? for ones ideas
as to food and drink vary SO much with
the hours Of the day. Morning, tea OF
coffee very likely. with breakfast bacon
or kidneys or fried sole Of plain boiled
eggs. But who wants boiled eggs and
coffee at his luncheon? Then, again, dry
champagne is generally a fayorite drink
at dinner. but we do not usually cart fol
it at luncheon. and late at night most
men have a preference for whisky and
soda and would not care in the least for
Pommery or Roederer. Then q man may
have a strong liking for oysters, and also
for olives, and how is he to get in all
his opinions on these various questionso Of
taste as to food and drink?-Exchange.

The SaIic Law of Succession.

NJ. Violet has written an essay upon
the causes which led to females being
excluded from succession to the throne
of France. According to him, the prin-
ciple was elaborated in the period of
about 1870 years comprised between the
death of Louis Y and the final triumph
of Charles VII and became a funda-
mental law of the monarchy when the
daughter of Louis Y. the daughter of
Philippe lie Long and the daughters of
Charles lie Bel were deprived of their ia

nYOu Were on the Moon.

Hlunar conditions are favorable to hu-

they are not-and you could be trans
ported to the top of Pico or some other
tall peak or rock on the surface Of our
''silvery sister world" how do you sup
pose things would look from such van

turn your eyes in the direction Of our
earth-the world you had just Quilted
but to you it would be q stranger. In
place Of tho somber globe you would
naturally expect to behold your eyes
would be greeted with q most wonderful
sight. The earth would appear to you to
be 81 times larger than the sun appears
to the residents of this mundane sphere.
This because the earth has eight times
the diameter of the moon; therefore she
must necessarily show the moonites Ga
times as much surface as the moon
shows us.
The sun, on the other hand, would APP
pear no larger to you from your observa-
tory on the noon than it does from our
globe. Theearth's atmosphere being blue,
it has been decided that the earth must
appear az a blue ball to all outside O

be to our lunarian neighbors to look upon
abright blue, swift revolving ball GA times
larger than the sun!-St. Louis Republic.
