The supreme court of Louisiana has just

Alphonse Karr. the well-known French
humorist, told the following story In
circle of friends, vouching for its truth,
says an exchanges: He owned an estate
in the southern part of France, and one
OF his neighbors was an elderly Italian
count, whose library was exceedingly
well stocked, and was considered a sight
We'll worth seeing in that locality One
day the witty author of Les Guepes
who had not yet met his neighbor sent a
servant with a card to him, requesting the
loan of a certain book The count re-
piled IN a very polite note that he was
extremely sorry that he could not oblige
Mr.. Karr, but that 1t was with him
matter of principle never to loan any
books for use outside of his own library
At the same time he invited his neighbor
to come to his house at any time. and
his library would be at Mr.. Karr's DIS
posal all day. Karr, who was anxious to
obtain certain information went to the
counts house and made notes from the
particular book in the counts library that
he wanted. A short time afterward the
count needed sprinkler and sent to his
literary ne-ghbor asking for the loan of
one. Karr who had not forgotten the
sWered, now sent to the count an extreme
ly polite note, couched in the following
terms: Il deeply regret the impossibility
of obliging you by the loan of a sprinkler
but as a matter of principle l could NOT
possibly allow my sprinkler to be used
outside of my garden; but If you desire
to use it on my own lawn 1 shall gladly
place the sprinkler at your disposal ali
day."

absence OF fear would not counteract the

The Chronicle, a New York insurance
publication. prints some Interesting sta
tistics with regard to fires and fire losses
for the year 1895. There were 5000 ares
during the year. involving losses 20 the
enormous extent Of $142.11O 23s. OF this
amount the Insurance LOGS was $50 Sos O9o
With the exception OF the years 1891. 1892
and 1898, the losses OF 1895 were greater
than those 81 any year since 1875. The
greatest Fosses by fire since the first mem
toned Fjear were suffered in 1873, when the
amount reached upwards Of s167, 100000.
During last year the records show that
about GA per cent. OF the property destroy
ed was covered by insurance.
1t is interesting to note the advance that
has been made in electric lighting. with
rsgards to the safety OF buildings so
lighted. In 1896 more buildings were burn
ed from cigars, pipes and cigarettes than
from electric light wires The number of
the former was 1888, against 5ss of the lat
ter. Old fashioned tallow and wax candles
have almost gone out OF use. They are
seldom seen these days. Yet the records
show that they were responsible for 2S4
fires in 1895; almost as many as are
charged up to the modern light. Sta
tisucs with regard to the source of fires,
however. are necessarily faulty. inasmueh
as about one fire in every six during the
year was Of unknown origin.
Nearly two-thirds of the number of
buildings burned were dwellings. and of
such buildings, where the cause could be
aseertained 1t was found that in the great
majority of cases the fire originated from
defective hues. explosions or incendiarsm.
Fire proof construction is stilI a long way
from perfect, which is demonstrated by the
fact that more than one-third of the build
ings burned were igniEed from other
buildings. During the year. 1902 colleges,
school buildings and converts, 500 the
aters and public halls. and $40 churches
were burned The need for fire escapes
on buildings Of public gatherings is once
more emphasized.
The average of fire losses for the past
twenty-one years. according to the Chron-
icle, is 800, 0OO,O 900, though the amount fiuc-
tuates greatly, with a tendency to in
crease. THE people would rather lose
their property than take effectual steps
to prevent the fire waste" says the
Chronicle; which, in the light of the rec
ords, seems to be very nearly correct. Dur
ing 1895 there were five fires involving loss
of over N.OOO.OOO each. According to the
Chronicles figures. the number of lives
lost by fire during the year was 1,S50.
