To this end the fricze of the wall
paper is carried across the front part
of the closet, as is also the picture rail,
thus forming finish at the top of the
open space. At the bottom the base
board has, in effect, been carried across
the front of the closet, though in reality
it has in it n hinged panel, which is the
front of triangular drawer, or box,

WARNING TO FAT WOMEN.
Their Great Danger When the Flat
Takes Fire.

Their Great Danger When the Flat
Takes Fire.
Large, lumpy ladies who dwell cext
to the roof in five-story buildings are
beset with dangers of which the mar
row-guage female knows nothing. One
OF these perily is fire and the other is
policemen. On a recent stormy mid
night an officer patrolling his beat saw
smoke curling over the shingles of
tall house. knowing that large lady
lived on the fifth floor he hastene.i to
notify her without stopping to turn in
an alarm. At the fourth landing the
brave man discovered that further
progress was barred by burning s'Gir-
way, but he managed to reach the bou-
doir of the large lady by means of the
fire escape.
She weighed 240 pounds dressed, but
they did not wait for that ceremony.
Time was too precious. Selling the
lady, who was rendered helpless {, ON
fear, the gallant officer showed her
through the window and out upon the
little front platform. Then occurred
thrilling aerial act without the aid
of net or calcium light effects.
1t was the fault Of no one that the
lady happened TO be larger than the
openings in the fire. escape platforms.
To pass her dead weight over the edge
and lower it to the next landing was a
feat beyond the power of one man.
Even policeman, clothed in full nu-
thority, baked in the face of this prop
osition.
There was only one thing to be lone,
and the officer did it. First he pushed
what he could of the lady through the
hole, like a man stufling n bed quilt
into hand valise, after which he
swung himself below and pulled the
rest of her through. 1t was hercu-
lean job, but the red flames roaring
above gave the rescuer renewed
strength.
Down the perpendicular ladder he
backed, with the limp form resting
on his head and shoulders. The thin
iron rungs cut into his hands and The
smoke almost stifIled him, but the
noble man struggled on. At the next
landing the large lady was again
squeezed through the hole by the he
roic policeman, and so on until the
ground was reached.
Meanwhile an alarm had been
sounded and the usual helping throng
was on hand. Some Good Samaritan
gave the exhausted large lady drink
of brandy to brace her up,while the no.
bic policeman went on about his busi-
ness. There are others, however, who
bear the shield and helmet. One of them
happened along and heard about the
drink of brandy and saw the efforts OF
the unfortunate woman to save some
OF her property. Not to be outdonc in
gallaEtry by any policeman living, the
second officer dragged the hap.ess
creature of to Jail and charged her
with being drunk.
This pathetic incident should warn
large ladies to either live on the ground
floor or stick to the policeman who
saves them from the lurid flanes.--N.

/ have been much surprised 1T the
small amount of beer drunk by the bet
ter class of Germans. A German with
out his beer he'd always seemed to me
rather Hamletless Hamlet. but, am
told, and observation bears out the
assertion, that the better class OF Ger
mans do not drink beer. On the Rhine
boats beer is not served in the first
class saloons, and in the great garden
at Baden, where the opcn-air concerts
take place and which is the great place
of resort, very little beer is served, the
general order being for the popular
Rhine wines, while the Frenchman
takes his inevitable cognac and coffee,
sip of the cognac, then one of the cof-
fee, then both poured together and
drunk being the approved method.
Somebody has called Scotland the
"country of two jams," orange mar
malade and some other preserve maxi
ing their appearance Mt every meal
with startling regularity. Switzer-
land might be termed the country OF
honey. On every breakfast and lunch
table the little pot of honey is laid out
and, If the sweetening process begun
in Scotland is continued in italy and
France, my bad temper will no longer
be source Of anxiety to my friends
and prayerful meditation to myself.
One can always tell the nationality
of ones neighbor at these tables d'hotc
by what he takes to drink. The Amer.
lean always has his ice water, the Ger
man his Rhine wine, the Englshmar
his dark, heavy wine, when he can get
It, which tastes like half-fermentet
vinegar, and the Frenchman his cham
payne or his cognac.
And the customs are so different IN
the manner Of eating and drinking
There is profound satisfaction in tn,

who eat, oblivious Of the rise and fail
Of empires, duels and death. The
Americans always act as II they were

How to Remove Grease spots.

Many women do not like to use
naphtha in removing grease from their
clothing because of the odor which
clings to the garment afterward. If the
fluid is properly refined it will be with.
out scent. But those who object to il
may try the following concoctior
which is remarkably beneficial, in.
stead: Dissolve two ounces of borax in
three pints boiling water. Before it is
cold add one teaspoonful of camphor
and bottle. Rub the dirty place with q

will be delighted with the result.

Fought with a wildcat.

woods near Bascom, o., and while
roaming about was attacked by large
wildcat. The vicious animal jumped at
his face, cutting and scratching it in
a most terrible manner, and tearing
his clothing nearly off his back. BY
hard struggling and well-dirccted
blow from Mr. Schultz's fist, he freed
himself from the animal, after which
he shot and killed it. About one year
