INCREASING FIRES.
Are They Attributable to Arson or
Carelesnness.


There are, OF course, many fires due to
electricity, but this does not explain the
Increase, which is great In every line.
says the Boston Herald.
Take, for example, the Commissioners
report of causes. In 1885 ia fires &C.
Cured from the breaking Of kerosene
oil lamps or stoves. In 1903 the number
Of fires from this assigned cause was
500. In 1885 the number Of fires due TO
~oyerheated stoves or furnaces was 6S.
In 1893 1t was 245. In 1885 the umb OF
fires caused by children playing with
matches was 81. In 1888 1t was lil. Care
less use OF matches caused 81 fires in
1855 and 81 fires in 1888. Smoking was the
alleged cause of 80 fires In 1885 and rs
fires in 1893, while the fires due to mice
and matches jumped from 10 in 1885 TO
50 in 1893. The number of fires whose
cause could not be assigned was 466 in
1885 and S97 in 1893.
II will be seen from these facts that
the more frequent occurrence of fires to-
day must be due to one of two causes
arson or greater carelessness The frs,
explanation will not suffice. because the
Increase is nearly the same in times OF
business prosperity and depression
whereas II OUGHT to be much heavier
when business Is dull. The conclusion
drawn by the Insurance Commissioned
and 1t seems the only explanation, IL
that human carelessnass is a steadily
growing failing.

A LIVING HEAD ON A PLATE.
A PerplexinR Trick Accomplished
by the PhotoErapher's Art.

A, rather perplexing trick of photog-
raphy recently worked out by r. a.
Gilmore, of Auburn, r., l., Is explained
as follows: The trick is that OF taking
what appears to be the head OF a living
person on a platter forming part OF the
furnishing OF a d~ining-room table, AL
though the way in which the work is
done Is very simple, pictures made In
this manner have been extremely puz-
cling and are of especial interest to
amateur photographers, as they suggest
other methods OF producing novel effects.
In this case a centre leaf was removed
from an ordinary extension table, the
lady to be photographed then being
seated SO that her read appeared just
above the table top, on which the cloth
n other articles were arranged as
hearly as possible in the usual way, as
shown In n OF the views. the table be-
ms. built up in place Of the removed
other. articles. To make the illusion

daily lives, they count for nothing in
the sight OF God, unless we accept 4
long array OF dogmas which no ordina-
~ nina can comprehend and about
which theologians themselves differ.
We are wounded past all surgery"
by such q statement 1t is utterly in
credible that God should reject the
man who believes a little and lives ac-
cording to that belief, refusing to allow
him to enter heaven because he can
not accept everything which the church
teaches as truth.
Besides, it is false it is unreasonable.
It does not commend itself to the COM
mon sense of mankind. A good deed
done with q pure motive will never,
under any circumstances, be disap-
proved on high. No matter how long
or how short your creed may be, if you
love your fellow men and preserve your
personal integrity amid temptation and
hardship, the dear God who is our Fa-
ther will not regard you as clothed in
filthy rags, but on the contrary will
say, "Thou hast been faithful in a few
things will make thee ruler over
many things"
Do what good you may, therefore,
and trust to the love of God rather than
the caprice of men. If you live in a
narrow circle, fill it full of holy
thoughts and noble actions. No day
will pass that ahalI not give you the
opportunity to lend a helping hand to
some forlorn soul. Men and women
need encouragement. for our years are
filled with trouble, So far as lies in
your power do good by word or deed,
or both and when you wake from the
Last a1sep the angels will lead you into
the presence of One who will give you
a kindly welcome.

BY THE WAVES.

Crisp and curling, soft unfurling
Caps OF silvery foam,
Haste the breakers, frolic makers,
Chasing playmates home.
Tripping, skipping, slipping, dripping,
Fast the children fly
Up the shingle, toes a-tingle-
So the day goes by.
Wavelets creaming, sunshine gleam-
Ing,
In the shining sands,
Gay and merry, bold and CHEEKY,
Delve the small brown hands,
Drifting, lifting, rlfting, sitting,
Meath the smiling sky
On the shingle pleasures mingle,
And the day goes by.
Great clouds glowing, wild winds blow
ing,
Night draws on apace;
Eyes deep yearning see the burning
Lamps in starry space.
Flying, signing, low replying,
Thoughts salute the sky;
Home we gather, O Our Father,
And the day goes by.
Mary Ruth Rogers.
