The superstItIous Turk.

There is no land on earth where more
superstitions prevail than that of the
unspeakable Turk. Some of them are
interesting. If by any chance sparrow
or swallow flies in the window and cir
cles three times around the room it is a
sign that blood relation of some one
present is about to die. There are
many signs and happenings that are
supposed to predict marriage. For in
stance, if horse sneezes when a young
girl passes in the street she is positive
that her time is nearly come. If her
hair becomes unfastened she knows
that she will soon be sought for, and
if she goes to eat peach and finds its
kernel split she is equally certain that
she will soon be welded.

Very strange.

The Somerv11le Journal has story
of little Dorothy, six years old, who,
like other children, is a born egotist.
She went out for a horse car ride with
her aunt. She had her new purse with
her and was very desirous to pay her
own fare, but her aunt said no. ''You
are my guest" she explained to
Dorothy, $50 must pay your fare but
you may talzc'the ten cents and hand it
to the conductor, if you like So
Dorothy took the, dime and when the
conductor came along she handed it
to him in the most digniied manner.
He gave her'a quick look, and estimat-
ing that she was under the fve-year
limit. he rang in only one fare. and
handed back d fve-cent piece, which
Dorothy took without a word. Wasn't
it strange" she asked after she got
home, ..the conductor took my fare,

The way in which the ages of these
trees have been ascertained leaves no
doubt of it's correctness. In some few
cases the data have been furnished by
historical records and by traditions,
but the botanical archeologists have a
resource independent of either, and,
when carefully used, infallible.
OF all the forms of nature, trees
alone disclose their ages candidly and
freely. In the stems of trees which
have branches and leaves with netted
veins-in all exogens, as the botanist
would say-the increase takes place by
means of an annual deposit of wood,
spread in an even layer upon the sur
face of the preceding one.
In the earlier periods of life trees in
crease much faster than when adult
the oak, for instance, grows more rap
idly between the twentieth and thir-
tieth years-and when old the annual
deposits considerably diminish, SO that
the strata are thinner and the rings
proportionably closer. Some trees
slackep in rate of growth at a very
early period of life, and layers of oak
become thinner after 40, those of the
elm after so, those of the yew after CO..

Four Great Pole vaulter..

H. H. Baxter, captain of the New York Athletic club, who was pole vaulting champion of tho United States for four years, beginning in 1888, thinks c. T. Buckholtz the best man at the game in the country, although he does not hold the record A contest between the two experts named and W. s. Redenbaugh, who made the present record of II feet 3-8 inches for pole vaulting for height, would be memorable event. Ro6enbaugh was Amer ican champion in 1890 and won the event under the colors of the Athletic club of the Schuylkill navy.
 Pole vaulting for distance admits of con siderable improvement, in Captain Bax- teris opinion. He thinks the pole should carry an expert much farther than four feet beyond the best running broad jump. The event is rarely included on pro gramme, and good jumpers have conse- quently given it little attention. A. H. Green of Harvard has had monopoly of the record so far, but the existing figures are well within the capabilities of any per severing athlete who has mastered the art of using the pole as an effective lever. Greens best mark is 27 feet inches, and it was placed on record last September in Chicago. Baxter is thinking of again en- tering the lists this year. He has cleared over Il feet when vaulting for height

 Campbell is also recent importation. He was born in Musselburg, Scotland 3a years ago and when only years of age had solved the mysteries that hover over tees and links, clocks, lofters, niblicks, putters and drivers. Each year since 1880 Campbell has competed in the open golf championship of Great Britain, and al though he has never won the event he claims to have defeated about every man who did capture first honors during those years.

Changes In the Football Rules.

The coming season football will differ considerably from the game which has been in vogue. The committee which held meeting recently at the University Attn letic club, New York; embodied some rad icaI changes from the old rules in it's re- port, and these, it Is hoped will do away with all of the present objectionable fea- lures of the games The following are some of the principal changes: If a man gives a signal that he intends to make fair catch and he is thrown, he shall be given 15 yards. The game shall commence with an actual kick of at least 10 yards. No momentum mass plays shall be allow ed, nor shall more than three men group for that purpose more than five yards back from the point where the ball is put in play Each half shall consist of 35 min utes rather than 45 as before

A GREAT LOSS Was that 0ccasioned by Fire
 This Morning, The Caldwell, Birmingham's
 Pride, Swept, Together With the Mammoth Structure Opposite, Occupied by the StoWers Furniture Co.,, and Perry-Mason
 Shoe Go. The Loss Will Reach Nearly Half a MiIiOn-The Scenes
The Loss Will Reach Nearly Half a MilliOn-The Scenes
 Around the Blaze.

$500 GOO blaze visited this city this morning. The Caldwell hotel, the pride of the city, and one of the handsomest structures of it's kind in the south, is in ashes, as is also the mammoth four story structure on the opposite corner, occupied by the Stowers Furniture company and the Perry Mason Shoe company.
 few minutes after o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 22, corner of Twenty first street and First avenue, and in an incredibly short time the entire fire department was on hand.
 The water pressure was very un satisfac- tory, and when the fire was located in the stowers Furniture oompany's building it was evident that great blaze was on.
 As soon as possible the apparatuses were gotten ready for the fight, which proved one of the most stubborn ever witnessed in in this city.
 It was but few minutes ere the entire four floors with their immense piles of furniture were seething, roaring mass of flames leaping skyward.
 The flames next entered the mammoth shoe house of the Perry Mason Shoe com pany, and in a short while this too was wrapped in flames.
 Iuo uGdb was lutSuSS, Dub luo ATG iduUicS worked bravely, for smoke was issuing from the castings of the Caldwell hotel, just across the way, and it was thought this structure would also follow. Ere the thought was expressed the immense gilded dome, which crowned the handsome edi- flee, was seen to be in flames.
 Soon the entire west side of the structure facing the now almost burned building across the way was ahame where ever the demon could secure hold. From here the flames swept inward, and soon the Caldwell was doomed.
 Louder and louder roared the flames and fercer and fercer grew the heat until 1t was almost unbearable. The fight was finish one and the fire laddies redoubled their energies. Twas in vain. Nothing could stem the fiery element, and when the Caldwell was given up for lost attention was directed in other directions to fight for property now apparently doomed.
 To add horror to the situation some one started the report that four men were in the furniture house. An AGE-HERALD re- porter rushed up as close as he dared and breathlessly asked Chief Mullin if the re- port was true.
 ssThere were four men in the building,'' he said, "but, thank God, they got out safe.o
 Then again rumor had it that all the inmates of the Caldwell had not been aroused, but this, too, proved only ru-. nor from an excited brain.
 The building occupied by the Stowers Furniture company was owned by J. w. Johnston of New York, and the value is estimated at S20,000, the stock at S30. .060. What the insurance on this building and contents was no one could tell.

Ex-Champion Page Can Still Jump.

William Byrd Page, who startled the athletic world in 1887 by jumping six feet four inches, is now the assistant master mechanic of the Pennsylvania railroad at Jersey City, says the New York Sun. He has worked up to this position from the lace he obtained as an apprentice at the Altoona shops after leaving the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania. Page will do some practice running and jumping this sun.- mer. A few weeks ago, when practicing,
 he cleared tho bar at six feet two inches and in his street clothes could do six feet Possibly he may again surprise the world as high jumper.

being both speed and distance.
"Why, here, Boggs," exclaimed the
captain, this is just in your line; you
ought to enter this and win that money;
will you, if the entries are not closed?"
The question for moment staggered
Boggs, but he quickly braced up and
replied that he would be only too glad
to do SO. The captain went to make in
