NEW YEAR BLAZES.

Destruction by Fire of the Globe Theater,
Boston-The Hanlons, Doing an Engage
ment with "Superba" Lose $4,000 In
Properties and Wardrobe-SeveraI Per-
sons Cremated In the Burning of .
Cheap Lodging House In Buffalo.
Boston, Jan. 2.-Five alarms in quick
succession from the special box at
tached to the Globe theater soon after
o'clock this morning caused great ex-
element all over the city; and when
the fremen reached the building they
quickly saw that they had big job
on their hands. The fire originated in
the cloak room of the theater in some,
at present, unexplained manner, and
its spread was most rapid. The
entrance and lobby of the theater are
in the middle of a large block
bounded by Washington street, Essex
street, Hayward place and on the rear
by the Harrison-avenue extension. On
the side of the Globe entrance at the
Washington-street front on the north
is large six-story building just com
pleted, but not at present occupied,
while on the south. or Essex street
side, are the large buildings occupied
by Robert L. Almy & Co., clothing
dealers, Bryant & Stratton's CONNER
cial college and various other tenants.
70 the rear of these building, running
back to the Harrison-avenue extension,
is the theater proper.
Before the third and fourth alarms
were given the entire center of the
theater seemed one mass of flames,
while the great clouds of smoke and
showers of sparks betoken the terrible
force that was at work underneath.
Soon after the fourth alarm was
sounded the flames burst through the
Washington street front of the theater
entrance and rapidly licked up the
ornamental woodwork of which it was
composed.
Occasionally, as the fire in the in
terror came in contact with a calcium
or gas tank, an explosion would be
heard that made the huge crowd of
onlookers involuntarily fall back, al
though the ropes stretched by the po-
lice had kept them out of danger
therefrom. The vast showers of Gin
ders that continually ascended from
upon the surrounding buildings,
threatening them also in most alarm
ing manner.
Until. 2:30 a. m, it was feared that
the fire would sweep across Hayward
place, the slight wind being in that
Erection. At that hour the outlook
had changed and it was thought the
fire could be kept within the limits of
the block in which it originated. The
theater itself is practically ruined and
while the buildings that face Wash
ington street are uninjured on their
fronts, the roofs of all of them have
been practically burned.
Hanlon Bros 'Superba" was occu-
pying the house and their properties
were saved with great difficulty.
The six-story building at the corner
of Washington street and Hayward
place is owned by the Harvard college
trustees. The fire is still burning fu-
riously, but it is believed that it will
not spread further. No accidents have
yet been reported, and it is impossible
to esta blish the losses at this time. Mr..
johnson is the owner of the store.

FOR INSOM MA.

An eficacious remedy for obsti-
nate cases of insomnia is to lie fat
upon the back, and inhale and
exhale deep, long brea tbs. Take
thirty or forty of them, then turn on
one side-preferably the right-and
sleep will come before you know it
unless you have the pernicious habit
of taking your work to bed with
you. Thefacility with which we can
rest and recuperate from great ia
tigue either mental or physical, de-
ponds greatly upon our power of
dismissing thought and encouraging
a state of vacuity. 1t is question of
habit, but one which is in every
ones power to acquire; and of so
great value that it is worth more
than a slight effort to win.-[Demor-
est's Magazine.

CHILDREN AND COLOR.

A careless, Indifferent society
woman who futters into the
nursery a few moments before going
out to a ball will arouse the most
passionate admiration in the breasts
OF her neglected children, who fall
under the spell of her beauty. Far
off as she is from them she represents
a world all light and loneliness, and
they cherish the picture OF her IN
their hearts. She exerts through
her outward charms an influence her
character could not command.
The devoted mother who plods
about in a dirty gown is not nearly
so much loved, although time, which
equalizes everything, reveals her
value. But why should she lose the
great advantage of attraction !?
Putting aside all questions of taste
and elegance and dealing only with
this matter from the standpoint of
cheerfulness, it must seem worth
while to everyone who thinks about
it, to supply the essential element of
bright colors in their children's daily
lives. The mother who wore red
bows on her slippers for her baby
boys sake was not far out of the
way. We could all do at least so
much.

AN EXPERIMENT.

How can l see the bottom of the
river or lake ?'is a question that oft
en- arises in youthful minds. Now,
it isn't so very hard problem, after
all. The young people will be pleas
ed to know that the object can be
attained by the use OF water tele-
scope such as the Norwegian fisher
men use to ascertain the pasition of
herring shoals. 1t is made quite
simply. Procure a tube made of tin,
and funnel-shaped, about three and a
half feet long, and nine inches in di-
ameter at the broad end. 1t should
be wide enough at the top to take in
the observers eyes, and the inside
should be painted black. At the bot
tom or wide end, clear, thick piece
of glass must be inserted, with little
lead in the form Of ring to weight
the tube. When the instrument is
immersed in clear water, it is aston
ishing how many fathOms down the
observer can see. A great deal of
genuine instruction and amusement
can be gathered out OF such an in
strument for young folks.

WIRED SLEEVES AND WHALE
BONED REVERS.

Among ingenious devices for hold
ing expanded sleeves in the desired
shape Worth is using single thread
like wire stitched in the upper edge
Of the sleeve drapery. This is not
put in simple balloon pufs, but in a
scarf around the top of the close
sleeves, starting in the inside seam,
then curving out to give breadth,
dropping to show the sleeve under
meath, and sewed to it without
meeting. The open draped top is
then faced with ribbon of contrast
ing color, and the tiny wire is stitch
ed along the upper edge in the seam
which adds the facing. Thus a shot
pink and green surah waist has
sleeves of this kind faced with black
MORE ribbon two inches wide hold
ing a wire in the edge of the top.
Other trimming on the waist is
bib-frill Of white guipure falling low
from a stock of black MORE ribbon,
and almost reaching a belt of the
same.
Another novel way of giving
breadth to new gowns is that of
putting a slender whalebone in a
revers or huge bow extending
straight across from the throat out
on the wide sleeves. This is an ex-
IRENE fancy, somewhat like the In
croyable revers and bows of the
Directory period. A straight length
of silk tour or FIVE inches wide is
folded across in fan pleats, then
strapped in the middle, and whale
bone is hemmed in along the upper
edge. When set on at the throat the
pleats each side of the strap fall like
an open pan from below the whale
boned top, and thus make an effect
i've drapery for the waist. A very
rich gown with waist of white We
netian guipure lace has such a bow
OF pale blue silk brocaded with pur-
pie violets. The lace sleeves have
wired tops of the silk, and the skirt
is of cloth of the lightest shade OF
Parma violets.-[Harper's Bazaar.

MARRYING a MAN TO REFORM HIM.

My heart aches when l think of the
women who began the work of refor-
nation with hope, and laid it down
with despair at the end OF a life that
made them turn weary arms to
death" with sigh of welcome. On
the table before me stands the pOr-
trait of one such woman. When she
was a merry-hearted girl, she fell in
love with a handsome, brilliant
young fellow, whose only failure
was a fondness for liquor. He loved
her deeply-better than anything else
in the world-except drink. Never
theless he promised to overcome
even this passion for her sake In
vain did her family plead and pro-
test. Her only answer was:
Harry cannot keep straight with
out some one to help him. l must
marry him now. He needs me-"
Two years after her marriage she
died of a broken heart, whispering
at the last to a dear friend that she
was not sorry to go, but would be
thankful life was over if she were
only sure that her year-old baby
would not be left to Harry's care"
Yet he was, in most respects ten
der and considerate. The only
trouble was that his devotion to her
remained at the point at which it
stood when he became her husband.
The habit of intemperance grew.
Suppose that, added to this great
fault, had been others still more
vicious. Had his been a coarse,
brutal nature, would not the idea of
reformation have been still more
hopeless?
A woman, in tying herself for life
TO an unprincipled man, forgets that
he has lost to a great extent his
better nature, and is now hardly
responsible for his actions. The
spirit may, indeed be willing, but
the flesh is lamentably weak The
appetites that have been long in
dulged do not relinquish their claims
after only few months restraint,
and when the girl for whose sake
they have been repressed is won,
they will return to the swept and
garnished room, and the last end of
their victim will be worse than the
first.
l often wonder what a good, pure
woman promises herself when she
proposes to Irvine her clean lite with
one that is Scared, scanned, and
blackened Evade the truth as she
may, there are but two courses for
her to pursue: She must either live a
lonely life apart from her husband,
silently showing disapproval of his
habits; or she must, to preserve
peace and the semblance of happi-
and become even less delicate and
more degraded than he. In the one
case her husband will hate her, while
in the other she will lose his respect
and despise STERILIZATION Har-

THE FISHER BOY.

Little lack lives close by the stormy sea;
The son of a fisherman brave is he,
Who sails away in a stout old boat,
The brayest and truest af1Oat.
Little lack with his mother stays at home,
But he loves on the sandy shore to roam,
And to be the first to catch sight
OF his fathers boat coming back at night.
And to be the first when it comes to land,
To offer a ready helping hand;
And there's not in the town a lad so spry
In spreading the long net where twill dry;
And he helps the men who have worked al
day
Unload the fish in the merriest way;
And when the cargo is all ashore,
He runs ahead to the cottage door.
There the mother waits, with the supper
spread,
But stoops to pat fondly the curly head
For fond and proud of her boy is she,
The lad who fisherman brave will be.
And when he lies down to slumber light,
He dreams of boat with sails white,
And he sails in dreams far over the sea;
And who so happy and gay as he
All, the day be distant when from the shore
He may watch for the boat that returns
more
When he turns to the cottage with weary
tread,
And the mother weeps for the father dead

Breed more starch Into Potatoes.

French potato growers aim not only
to produce new varieties that will give
heavy yields, but to improve the quality.
AS the crop is largely used in the manu-
facture of starch and alcohol variety
of medium yield but rich in starch is
more profitable than one giving heav-
Ter yield of poor potatoes. Accordingly
seed has been selected from good specl-
mems of variety showing high per-
centage of starch, and SO carefully has
this been done that some varieties will
now yield 25 to 80 per cent OF pure
starch. We do not raise potatoes for the
water they contain. In general way 1t
is just as important to increase the
amount of starch a potato plant can
gather as to increase the sugar in a sugar
beet or the butter in cows milk. In
America this matter has been but little
considered in the makeup of "good
potato,' but Rural New Yorker thinks
it is high time some one took up the
French experiments and undertook to
breed more starch into the potato.
