DEATH BY FLAMES.
Seven People Caught in a Burning
Building in Baltimore.

Building in Baltimore.
A Sunday morning fire in the fash
ionable district of north Baltimore was
the cause of seven deaths and sent O
feeling of horror into hundreds of
homes in the city, where most of the
unfortunate victims were well known
and highly respected. The fire oc-
cured in the residence of James r.
Armiger, one of the best known men
in the city. The house was complete
" Quilted. Following is list of the
dead:
James r. Armiger, fifty five years of
age; William B. Riley, his son-in-law,
aged thirty eight; Richard Riley, aged
four; James Chamberlain, aged three;
Mrs. Marion Chamberlain, aged thir-
ty; Harold Manuel, aged fifty; Mar
ion Riley, aged two years and six
months.
Mr.. Armiger was native of Balti-
more, of the highest standing in busi-
ness circles. He was an importer of
diamonds and fine iewelry, and did a
big business in the city aud through
out the southern states. For thirty
years he had been one of the best
known merchants of the citv.

BAYARD AGAIN.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
Which Oensure Our Ambassador to
the Court Of st. James.

A Washington special says: The
republicans Of the foreign affairs COM
mittee took up the Bayard matter
Tuesday and made a report censuring
our ambassador 10 the Court Of st.
James.
The preamble recites the language
used by Mr.. Bayard, and continues:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
the house of representatives that Thos.
+. Bayard, ambassador of the United
States to Great Britain, in publicly
using the language above quoted has
committed an ofense against diplo-
matte propriety and abuse of the priv.
ileges of his exalted position, which
should make him the representative
of the whole country, aud not of
any political party. Such utter
ances are wholly inconsistent with
that prudent, delicate and scru-
pulous reserve which he himself
while secretary of state enjoined
upon all diplomatic agents of the
United States. In one speech he af-
fronts the great body of his country
men who believe in the policy of pro-
lection. In the other speech he of
tends all his countrymen who believe
that Americans are capable of self
government. Therefore, as the i'm
mediate representatives of the Ameri-
can people, and in their name we con-
denim and censure such utterances of
Thomas +. Bayard
Resolved, further, That in the
opinion of the house of representa-
tives, public speeches by our diplo-
matte or consular officers abroad
which display partisanship, or which
condemn any political party or party
policy or organization of citizens il
the United States, are in derelictior
of the duty of such officers, impair
their usefulness as public servants and
diminish the confidence which they
should always command at home and
abroad"
The report accompanying the reso
lutions also contains the Language
complained of, recites the fact that al
the correspondence bearing upon the
subject was transmitted by the presi
dent to the house January Goth last
and closes with the statement that Mr.
Bayard "didmake such speeches anC
that no action had been taken there
on"
The committee, therefore, respect
fully recommended the adoption of tn
resolutions.
The house will probably take up tn
resolutions for action as soon as tn
pending appropriation bills are dis
posed Of.
Their consideration will lead to
bitter partisan debate. The democrat
will defend Bayard on the the groun,
that he expressed individual opinion
at social banquet, and was not speak
ing as our minister. They admit tina
he was rather indiscreet, but hold tha
he is not deserving of the censure tn
republicans attempt to heap upon him
The old story is revived that MI
Bayard has written Secretary Olne
that if resolutions of censure az
passed upon him he will resign. Blu
both the president and Secretary o
ney have written requesting him nc
to do 80.

One Of the greatest and most COM

medical writer, is one that with care

show this tendency to stoop, while in
the narrow chested it is MAJ ked to a
painful degree. And yet by raising
ones If leisurely upon the toes in per-
pendicnlar position several times day
this deformity could be easily rectited.
10 do this properly one must be in
a perfectly upright position, the arms
dropping at The sides, the heels well
together and the toes forming an an
gle Of IS degrees. The rise should be
made very slowly and from the balls Of
both feet, and the descent should be ac-
complished IN the same way without
swaying the body out Of its perpendicu-
lar line. The exercise is not an easy
one, but may be accomplished by perse-
verance aud patience. / can be mod
flied, too, by standing first on one leg
then on the other. Initiating and rails
ing the chest at the same time are IA
part of the exercise, and if persevered
in will ultimately show an increased
chest measurement, development Of

THEN 4 Nd no ".

The word ''Tomboy,' now applied to
rude young woman, formerly meant
"a rude young man or boy. Furlong
was at first a furrow long, or the dis
lance that pair of oxen would pillow
in half an hour. Shrewd once signifi-
ed evil or wicked. Thomas Fuller
used the expression "a shrewd fellow"
meaning a wicked man. The word
''hoyden," now applied exclusively to
a noisy young woman, formerly demo-
ted a person of like character but of
either sex. Equivocation, word now
applied to any evasion, was once I'M
derstood to mean the calling of diverse
things by same name. Peck original
ly meant "a basket or receptacle for
grain or other substance. The express
ion at first had no reference to size.
To starye was once to die any manner
of death. Wyclifle's sermon tell how
'.Christ starved on the cross for the re-
demption of men. "Bompast once
signifed the cotton that was employed
to stuff garments, particularly the
enormous trunk hose worn in the four
tenth and fifteenth centuries. Acre
once meant any field. 1t s still used
with this significance in allusion to a
burial ground.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
It Pays to Put Things on the Market in
 Prime COnditionI

The farmer who is contented with average crops sold in the average con dition must expect only average prices. He who produces anything and puts it on the market in prime condition is the one who is going to make sales first and get top prices. The average man comes along later No matter what you have to sell, put it in the best possible condition for market and see to it that you can adopt the same motto that we once saw in barrel of ap- pies in the east. When the head was taken out of that barrel there was ex- posed printed slip which said ''This package was produced and packed by John Smith, who guarantees that when you see the top you. see the whole" The commission man told us that he never had any trouble with anything that man sent in, for his rep utation had been made. He not only packed his fruit and vegetables in the best manner, but sorted the sizes, and when the package was opened the buyer knew just what to expect from top to bottom. We know farmer who takes his grain to market and dumps it wherever the buyer tells him to, and is then asked how many bush els he had. His grain is never looked at nor weighed by the man who has weighed it for years; if it is not in good condition he insists on inspection, but if he knows it is all right he un- loads and gets his pay A reputation of that kind is worth more than good farm, for it brings greater return. Honesty is not only the best policy. but it is absolutely necessary to final sue cess. Carelessness is the coStlest habit farmer can fall into, and trick

TEMPERATURE OF SEA DEPTHS.
A Theory Accounting for the Coldness of
 the Bottom of Oceans.

The photographers tell us that the law which is constant for the landed portion of the earth's surface must be inverted for the oceans. The further we descend into the earth's surface rust, says the St. Louis Republic, the higher is the temperature; oil tho other hand, the deeper we descend below the natural habitat of the white-cap waves, the lower becomes the tenpcratura of the water. Very recent observation proves that Gn almost arctio coldness exists over the whole of the deep sea bed, there beingun perceptib1e differ once in the temperature of the deeper s,t1ratas of the Indian and the Arctic oceans. 1t is well-known fact that sea water does not freeze as readily as fresh water, and, unlike the latter, it continues to grow heavier until it reaches the freezing point. Thus the effect of the intense cold of the arctic regions is to cause constant sinking down of the cold surface water, which
 causes current of most intense cold to flow toward the equator; while to sup ply the place of what sinks down, an indraught, or northward flow takes place on the surfaceA The above is the gen orally accepted ''vertical circulation" theory, which explains the cause of the low temperature which prevails at the bottom of the oceans the world over.

THE MOON AND CLOUDS.
No Perceptible Influence Exercised Be-
 tween Them.

No Perceptible Influence Exercised Be-
 tween Them.
 It is an old weather saw that the full moon eats clouds. Sir John Hersche1 put the idea in a more scientific form by suggesting that sufficient heat might be radiated from the surface of the moon to cause the disappearance of clouds from the earths atmosphere when the moon is full, and when, con- scqucntly, it's radiation toward the earth is greatest Humboldt and Ar ;1co did not consider such an opinion to be unreasonable, while many sailors, and others practically interested in weather changes, are fully convinced that the full moon drives away clouds.
 The proper way to settle such ques- ton is, of course, to notice what actual ly occurs. This investigation has been undertaken in England by MT. S. J. Johnson, who has recently announced the result of observations covering the last fifteen years.
 He carefully noted the condition of the sky at the period of'full moon, com pairing the appearance at the time of Inoonrise with that at midnight, and his conclusion is that the moon exercises no perceptible influence in causing the disappearance of clouds.
 In the course of his investigation MT. Johnson made one hundred and eighty six separate observations. On one hun dred and twenty-six occasions the sky was the same at midnight as it had been at moonrisc, on thirty.three occasions it was clearer at midnight than at moonrise, and on twenty-seven occa- sions it was more clouded at midnight than at moOnrise.
