LOAD OF GASOLINE ON FIRE.
A LampIighter's Terror at Find
ing His Coat AbIaze.

The Fourth street tunnel was the
scene of great excitement for a few
minutes just before 6 o'clock last
evening. 1t was occasioned by a fire
of peculiar origin. A city lamplighter
accidentally allowed his fuse to come
in contact with can of gasoline.
This ignited dozen or more cans in
his cart and threatened the demoli-
ton of the entire outfit. Fearing an
explosion, the terror-stricken lamp
lighter frantically attempted to I'M
hitch his horse. Some railroad men
came to his assistance and released
the animal.
In the meantime the burning vehicle
attracted a big crowd Some one
one turned in an alarm and soon the
clatter of the fire apparatus was
heard. The fire was quickly extin-
guished by the chemical, but the
lamplighter's wagon was wreck.
A slight fire broke out at 9:45 o'clock
last evening at 679 Orange street. 1t
originated from a defective hue. The
loss was nominal.

HIS COLLARBONE BROKEN.
A BrOnchO Throws It's Rider With
Serious Results.

A rumor was circulated last evening
to the effect that an actor engaged at
one of the theaters had his collar
bone broken by being thrown from a
horse yesterday afternoon. The rumor
could be only partly confirmed. A
gentleman who was visiting Mcken-
Zie's stock farm was hurt. In at
tempting to ride a vicious broncho he
was thrown, receiving fracture Of
the collar bone. The identity of the
unfortunate equestrian could not be
learned. An inquiry at the Metropoli-
tan revealed no disabled actor or en-
ploye of the theater. The manage
ment of the Grand knew nothing of
the broncho episode.

REPosE OF MANNER,
An Old-Time Accomplishments That Ought
to be Cultivated Anew.

An Old-Time Accomplishment That Ought
to be Cultivated Anew.
Our great-grandmothers taught their
daughters that ''repose of manner"
was the first requisite of true propriety.
No well-bred lady would fdget in com
pany, put her hands to her face, toss her
head, or finger her buttons. If she
talked, she did it in soft voice and
without gesticulation, no matter how
many rings she wore or how pretty
her hands might be. She was taught
even to control her features; that
squirting and winking the eyes and
twitching the mouth were not mice"
and that they could and should be in
termitted in polite society. In sitting,
neither the knees nor the feet
were to be crossed; rocking was obi
ously vulgar; yawning and stretching
were unspeakable offenses; and, above
all, the hands must be crossed or fold
ed in the lap, and kept there.
A later generation reversed these
edicts. It's motto was: Whatever you
do, don't be stiff" The stately ladies
of the old regime were voted "slow''
and "prim." Movement and demon
stration "came in" and repose went
out" In the craze after "naturalness,"
the pendulum, as usual, swung past
the happy medium and feverish unrest
marked the department of our young
women.
As the outward manner is said to in
fuence largely the inward state, who
shall say that the present reign of
nervous diseases has not been sensi-
bly, aided by the fling and unrestraint
of the modern school of manners. Is it
not true that the habit of controlling
the face and members helps to estab-
lish a control of the emotions and
thoughts?
We plead for at least partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let mothers
once more teach their girls to sit still
in company; to cultivate calmness. Let
our women learn to carry an earnest
| conversation in subdued tones and
without gesticulation.
! We used to be told that lying in bed
with hands folded and eyes shut was
half as good as sleep, when sleep was
impossible. 1t is quite credible that
founcing and tossing about largely in
creases the loss of strength from sleep
| lessness, as we know that the sleep
which is accompanied with much toss
| ing and turning is not as refreshing as
that which is taken quietly. Just SO,
if reposed manner is acquired early
in life, an enormous expense of nervous
movement is spared, and a correspond
ing amount of power may be saved
