Is the Sun Ilnrnlng Un2

Thousands of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to accoun.
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues TO
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened in the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is ball Of gas, but even great globe
Of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom in the course of few thousand
years, Others say that fires are kept up
by the burning of the remains Of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to its mysterious, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take an opposite view declare
that it is "a monstrously absurd conclu.
sion. In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
mountain range consisting Of 176
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough TO keep up
the present rate of heat for single sec
ond and that mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for 03 years If
these conclusions are correct, we may
well ask, OF what wonderful, indie
structiblc substance is our great light
giver mpuscd!-EXchange

A SLIGHT INTERRUPTION.
Incident OF Reporters Visit to Fire
Engine House.

Incident OF ~ Reporters Visit to Fire
Engine House.
A reporter who had sought at fire
engine house information ON point
concerning which the driver could best
inform him stood talking with the
driver by the stall of one of the horses.
The horse was secured by tie strap
commonly used in the department One
end of the tie strap is made fast by u
staple driven into the side Of the STALL
while the other end is passed through
the throat latch Of the horse 8 bride and
held on pin that rises in q little recess
i'll the side Of the stall. BY means Of q
simple mechanical contrivanoe the pin
is pulled down ut the first stroke of the
gong when an alarm is sounded, the tie
strap is released, and the horse is set
free. As the driver and the reporter
talked, the horse, i'll friendly sort of
way, bent his head. down toward the
driver.
Suddenly an alarm was sounded, and
the horse was transformed, and like
wise the driver The horses head went
up, and he was alert in every fiber. At
the first stroke the pin had dropped, and
the horse was free. With single bound
ho cleared the stall and made for his
place by the engine, with the driver be-
side him. The other two horses of the
team-this was three horse team
were clattering forward at the same
moment At the front of the house men
were sliding down poles like lightning
There We're few sharp, quick, snap
ping sounds, as the men already there
snapped the collars together around the
horses necks, and over it all the BOOM
ing Of the gong.
In all the newer firehouses of the city
the stalls Of the horses are placed as
nearly as possible abreast of the engine,
so that the Horses shall have the shortest
possible distance to go. In some Of the
older houses, in which there is less room,
the stalls are at the rear. That is where
they were in this house.
Surprised little, the reporter had
lost second or two in getting to the
front. When he got there, he saw the
driver in his seat holding the lines over
the team ready TO drive out and waiting
only for the last stroke on the gong.
All fire teams are hooked up ON every
alarm, On first alarm they go oct only
to fires within their own district This
alarm was for fire outside the district.
UNLOCKED, the horses trotted back to
their stalls Descending from his seat,
the driver took up the interrupted con-
versation just rs if nothing had hap
pened New York Sun.

Row .. w. Kelly. 'rhc Rolling MIL Man,
Made the Hit of His Life.

Madc the Hit OF HIS LILO.
A theatrical manager tells this story
regarding the late J. w. Kelly:
In his earlier days Kelly was appear
ing at a variety hall in San Francisco
The proprietor and manager of the place
was German, who had great admi-
ration for the trolling mill man. T"
While Kelly was appearing at the thea
ter the German arranged to put on the
stage a series Of tableaux depicting the
heroism Of the members of the San
Francisco fire department. Kelly was
TO stand at one side Of the stage and re.
cite some original verses describing
each picture or tableau os it was shown
on the stage. The German was wildly
anxious that this tribute to the firemen
should make hit on the opening night
"Oh, Chon," he said, "do your pest,
and you will make to hit of your lifeI'
On the day Of the opening Kelly re.
mained at home, so as TO be in the best
possible trim for the show. Soon after
8 o'clock he started for the theater.
Just before going into the hall it oc-
CURED to him that he could have some
fun with the German; 30 he turned up
his coat collar, mussed his hair and
went reeling into the variety hall.
There was sound Of crashing glass
ware. The German had dropped tray
full of beer glasses
"Oh, Chon." ho moaned, waving his
hands in the air, you haf wooined all
to taplozel Vat is te good of hating
Irishman to work for your"
"Thash all right, mumbled Kelly,
staggering up to him.
go way" shouted the manager.
"You hef kveered to show"
With that the manager rushed for the
stage and arranged that a soubretto
should announce the tableaux. Then he
went out in front and waited, all in a
tremble, to see if she could get through
with it. In the meantime Kelly went
around on the stage, and just as tho SOU
brotte walked on the stage Kelly fol-
lowed her and said, "I'll take care Of
this.
The German saw him come ON the
stage. and with cry Of mortal terror
ran for the front door. He knew that
Kelly would spoil everything. He stood
in the street, mopping bis brow and
moaning in agony, when he began to
hear loud applause inside the theater.
He could hardly believe his senses.
Every few seconds there would be o
roar of laughter and handclapping. He
timidly went back into the hall, and
there was Kelly, sober as judge and
straight as n string" making the hit
of his life. After that all the German
could do was to sit down at q table to
weep and order beer for everybody
around.
In telling the story Kelly used to say
merely to finish the story, 81 saw him
after that when really did have tidy
number aboard, but he only laughed and
said. No. Chon, you can't fool me.

pIsPosINe OF PASTRY. Al
Tidbits That Capable Housewives Can
Make Of Left Overs.


1t is not always an easy matter to dis
pose of all the scraps Of pastry left after
making patties or pies Of any kind.
In olden times there was n variety Of
nice little cakes made Of small pieces Of
fine pastry and garnished with Jelly,
jams or sweetened creams whipped TO q
stiff froth and favored. The we'll known
"wells Of Cupid" rs they were known
in those sentimental days, were nothing
more than tiny fat cakes Of pastry with
q raised ring of pastry laid ON them, the
cavity in the center being filled with
jelly OF jam Of some bright color.
These wells" are sometimes made
Of cold boiled plum pudding. garnished
with a creamy hard brandy sauce, and
they are then served ut the holiday sea-
son and known as wells Of Noel" AL
most any plain cooky dough may be
rolled out and cut up into circles and
rings of equal size, and have a ring laid
on every circle and the cakes baked.
The cavity in the center may be filed
with bright red currant jelly.
Those dainty little cakes called "mar-
igolds' may be made Of puff paste or
any pastry or cake barrier that can be
rolled out. They are especially nice
made Of puff pastry glazed with sugar
and baked u golden hue.
Gut out 90 circles of pastry with q
fluted cutter about two inches in diam
etor. Then stamp out an equal number
Of rings about quarters Of All inch
in diameter. Put these tiny rings in the
center Of the large circles and stick
pieces Of blanched and shredded almonds
around the centerpieces. Dredge these
cakes with sugar and bake them in u
quick oven for about ten minutes, or
until they are nice golden brown.
Arrange little strips Of red currant
jelly lengthwise around the edge be.
tween the strips Of almond. These rep
resent the petals of the flower. These
cakes are troublesome to make, but are
nice for child's party or other gala oc.
casion.
"kiug Henry shoestringsn are strips
Of pastry arranged in four loops i'll the
shape of -. Andrews cross. They
are decorated with bits of green grape
jelly and red currant jelly to represent
rubies and emeralds. Where a cooky
batter is used pieces of candied cherry
and green lime or the prettier candied
angelica can be used.
Other cakes may be made in the form
of small wrcaths made Of little leaves
Of pastry when baked. Bits of bright
jelly set in various hollows Of the wreath
represent blossoms. These are u delight

The Latest In Furs.

Fashion in furs shows mixture Of
two kinds in one garment, which is very
encouraging to those who must remodel
their old oapes and jackets and very
pretty effects arc made with many sable
tails and paws in the way Of trimming.
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, sealskin
and moufflcn, which is light gray in
color, are the most fashionable furs, but
all the cheaper varieties seem to have
their uses. Chinchilla is combined with
seal this season, and short capes of sable
are used over longer ones of seal. The
fur boleros will be useful fashion for
those who have a small amount Of fur
TO be transformed into a fashionable
garment These are very becoming to
slight figures, and very stylish with
wide revers. The new fur coats are
rather short, not so full in the basque
as they wero last season and have loose
fronts.

The Sway of the Sash.

How fascinating are the belts and
sashcS which form such important items
in the fashions of the moment! Close
fitting, deep folded belts made Of satin
or silk are worn with toilets of silk, fine
mohair and grass lawn. The newest
ribbon belts are finished off with fat
piping on each side of white silk or
satin, but If the belt is black or dark in
color the piping may be in light, con-
trasting shade Loosely draped sashes
look best ON youthful figures, and folded
belts crossed in front are most becoming
TO slender shapes. Even plain dresses
may be converted into smart, stylish
toilets if the belt or sash and the collar
and bows arc chosen to correspond and
in good taste. New York Advertiser.
