No Wonder the Fire Burnt.

A-chemist, who had spent all his
leisure In trying to discover effective
means for the speedy extinction OF
fires, at last invented grenade which,
he was persuaded, was the very thing
that was needed everywhere.
He arranged for a public exhibition
Of its Incompatible virtues, and built
outside the town a wooden structure,
which, on given night, would be used
to demonstrate the fire extinguishing
capabilities of the Modern Wonder
Hand Grenade"
On the evening i'm question, as soon
as the darkenss came, n great crowd
assembled, and the man of scientific
skill appeared with specimens Of his
wonderful invention.
After haranguing the mob on the
merits of his grenade, he proceeded to
set fire to the temporary building, and
as the flames leapt up he threw Off
his coat and let the bottles fly. But,
to the chagrin of the chemist, as each
missile struck the boards the flames
leaped higher, and the fireibur2ed with
a fiercer glow. -
Faster. few the grenades, but larger
grew the fire, and soon the stock Of
grenades and the patience of the
thrower were alike exhausted. The
structure was reduced to ashes, and

tired amid shouts Of derislonst "

BY the signing of the contract for

appropriation was made for such YES

and France had been successful In GET

speed for long distances under the

seems to have been premature. how

1t would be pleasant thing IL all
people who are plagued with short
memories had the ready tact by which
the composer Rossini once Turned his

He met at dinner one evening Bish-

taken an instant liking.
''Good evening, Mr.. -" began Ros-

the name of his English acquaintance
had basely deserted him for the mo-

Over-Eunny.

Not long ago a resident of one OF the
small towns near New York came to
the city to consult an eminent oculist,
whose fee for a consultation Is never
less than $40. He was rather green In
appearance, so the doctor, who Is
something Of a wag, and who was In
particularly fine spirits that morning,
thought he saw an opportunity to have
a little fun at the expense Of his rural
visitor.
In the course of the examination a
prism was placed before the eye Of the
patient in order to test the muscles.
"Why, DOCTOR" he exclaimed, II see
two candlesv
Indeed" replied the doctor. "You
are very fortunate"
'How SOP"
"Why, just think what an advantage
you have over the rest Of us! You see
everything double, and beautiful pic
lures, charming landscapes, and lovely
faces are all repeated to you, and you
must get just so much more pleasure
out of them"
When the examination was cOnclud-
ed, and the prescription for the proper
glasses written, the man, without n
smile, laid five-dollar bill on the table
with the remark:
There, .doctor-there's ten dollars for
you," and was gone in a moment, leav-
ing the astonished physician to figure
ND the cost Of his little pleasantly.

The Germans call a thimble q "fin-

grasshopper ''hay-horse." A glove

evidently that they wore shoes before

Edison's Adventure.

The authors of "The Life and In
ventions of Edison" tell a good story
OF the manner in which their hero once
saved the life of child at the risk Of
his own. He was then the newsboy
of train running between Port HUI
ron and Detroit. The station agent at
Mt. Clemens had boy a year and
a half old, with whom Edison-"Al,"
as he was called-was fond of playing
during the half hour or more that the
train stopped at that station.
One summer forenoon, while the
train was being taken apart and made
up anew, a car was uncoupled and sent
down the track with no brakeman to
control 1t. Edison, who had been look
ing at the fowls in the poultry yard,
turned just in time to see little Jimmie
on the main track, throwing pebbles
over his head, utterly unconscious of
danger.
Al dropped his papers upon the plat
form, seized the child in his arms, and
threw himself off the track, face down.
ward in sharp, fresh gravel ballast,
without a second to spare. AS it was,
the wheel of the car struck the heel Of
his boot.
81 was in the ticket-office," says the
childs father, "and hearing shrek,
ran out in time to see the train hands
bringing the two boys to the platform.
Having no other way Of showing his
gratitude, the agent said:
"Al, II you will stop off here four
days in the week, and keep Jimmie out
of harms way until the mixed train
returns from Detroit, I will teach you
telegraphing." 4H.
"Will you?" said Edison.
II WILL
He extended his hand and said: "It's
bargain" And so Edison became a
telegrapher.

perforated cloth or to solid and per-
forated silk. The skirt hangs In
wide front pleat that flares al. the foot,
three narrower pleats stand out on
either side, and at the back three
others fall at either side Of top mid
die pleat that lies fat to correspond
with the front. These pleats are all
the result Of cut and shape and there
Is not tape or tack" on the under
side. A deep band Of the, openwork
material is set along the hem Of the
skirt and is at its widest at the round
of each pleat. 1t is in the presence of
this band and its shaping that the new
ness and style of the skirt is expressed.
A modification or elaboration Of this
is a skirt having the front pleat not
quite so wide and three pleats on each
side that swing little more fully to
the front and round more gently into
each other. This model appears in the
second picture. At the back are seven
pleats Of one size. three ut either side
of a central outstanding one. Like the
first example, this employs lace, per-
forated or open-work goods with plain
material. A novel use Is made of the
latter by slashing the front pleat as
high as the knee and inserting a van
dyke, set point up. This is the touch
to prove that the skirt is planned to
harmonic with a certain bodice. The
beauty Of the skirts that Ego with any
thing" Is by no means lost forever,
only In an entirely new gown it is
better to let the skirt proclaim that 1t
is really made for just one bodice and
not to do hack duty for many.
The bodice shown with this costume
Is especially quaint, the loose effect of
the plcats in front being quite new,
but could the ordinary woman resist
tucking handkerchicfs. fans, gloves,
love letters, powder puffs and goodness
