A FIREMAN'S FALL.
Interesting Inciaent of Lerge Fire
in New York.

Interesting Incident of q Lerge Fire
in New York.
An incident that happened in large
cotton fire in the lower part of New
York, some years ago, had its comic
side, and was the means of the firemen
discovering the main body of the fire,
which for some time they had been en-
deavoring in vain to locate.
The smoke was pouring out of nearly
every part of the building; and al
though several entrances had been
made, it had been impossible to find the
seat of the fire. The chief in charge
ordered some windows on the third
floor to be "opened up" and ladder
was accordingly raised, and fireman
assembled. With the aid of hook he
pried open the iron shutters, and, lamp
in hand, stepped in-and disappeared!
His companion upon the ladder, won
dering why he had so suddenly vanished
from sight, peered in, and found that he
had stepped into the elevator shaft that
was directly under this window, and
Hastily descending, he alarmed the
others, ana forcing an entrance, they
made their way to the cellar. Here
they found their comrade in sitting
position upon bale of cotton, partly
stunned and dazed from the shock of
the fall, but otherwise uninjured. In
his hand he still held the wire handle of
his lamp-all that remained of it-while
in front of him, further in the basement,
II
been endeavoring to find. His fall had
led him directly to 1t. On afterward
examining the hatchway, or shaft,
through which he had fallen, they found
that it had bars running diagonally
across at each floor, and in some mar
velous way he had escaped each one in
his downward fight.-Charles T. Hill,

THE SUNDEW.

On each of these little glands may be
seen drop of clear, sticky liquid that
glistens in the sunlight. And this ap-
pearance earns for the plant it's pretty
name of 'sundew."
When an insect-a small fly, for ex-
ample, or gnat-alights upon a sun
dew leaf, he is caught and held by the
sticky fluid on the glands under him.
Then the stalks of the glands near the
edges of the leaf begin to bend in
toward the spot where the little in
truder is fastened, at the same time
pouring out an extraordinary quantity
of their sticky fluid. 1t is like puppy
whose mouth waters when he catches
sight of bone. This movement of the
gland stalks is very slow, and it takes
many hours for the outer ones to close
down on the poor little victim. When
they are at last completely bent, it is
a number of days before they once more
begin to spread.
Meantime the fluid which they pour
upon the body of the insect actually di-
gests all the eatable parts of him, leav-
ing the hard shell of the thin wings be-
hind, when the glands return to their
places. Sundews will digest tiny bits
of meat if placed upon the leaves. There
is no doubt that the plants are better
for an occasional meal upon an insect,
for those that do not obtain such food
once in awhile thrive less than the
plants that succeed in securing it.

TURTLE CHEWING THE JOINT.

gether. The mass was fully two feet
long. My heart gave leap of eXulta-
ton. Instead of hurting it at the tur-
tie, reached out with it and managed
to scrape that precious handspike with
in grasp.
Just at this juncture the turtle de-
cided to take a hand in. l had given
the signal to be hauled up, and now /
could feel Larry tugging energetically
at the rope. The turtle left off fooling
with the tube, and, padding down to
see what was making such a commo-
ton in the water, he tackled me at
once.
"As it happened, however, he took
hold of the big copper nut on the top
of my headpiece, and that was too
tough morsel even for his beak, so that
all he could do was to shake me a bit.
With him at my head and Larry jerking
on my waistband, you may imagine l
could hardly call my soul my own.
However, l began jabbing with my
handspil1e into the unprotected parts
of the turtles body, feeling around for
some vital spot. In moment the water
was red with blood. All 1 could do
was to keep on jabbing as close to the
neck as 1 could. And the turtle kept
chewing at the copper joint.
Il believe it was the clam that helped
Inc most effectually in that struggle.
You see, that grip on my leg kept me
as steady as a rock. If it hadn't been
for that the turtle would have had me
end over end in no time. AS it was, after
few moments of this desperate stab
bling, managed to kill my assailant,
but even in death that iron beak of his
maintained its hold on the copper nut
of my helmet. Larry had to slash off
the heavy creatures head with a
hatchet."

ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.
Seen and Chased by Indians and Hum
ters. Dut Never Caught.

Seen and Chased by indians and Hum
tiers. Dat Never Caught.
During the summer of 1875 bands of
Indians returning from a hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories of
having seen at different times and in
different places, and always in the CEN
ter of a large herd, white buffalo.
They had used their best horses in the
effort to overtake it, to no purpose,
never being able to get anywhere near
the animal. At first we did not pay
much attention to these stories, but
still it kept cropping up from different
camps, and at last, in the fall of 1875,
1 myself had a chance to verify the
truth of the report. had been sent on
duty north along the Red Deer river,
and was camped near large band Of
Blackfeet, who were hunting south of
that river. The buffalo had moved
north in vast numbers, and the prairie
was black with them.
l had gone out one morning with a
party of Blackfeet to see one of their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self. My horse was a good one, and
much faster than any belonging to the
Indian hunters. l got detached from
the party, becoming tired of the slaugh-
ter, and must have been at least 20
miles from camp, when 1 made for q
small clump of timber not far off, in
tending to build fire and roast por-
ton of some buffalo meat had on the
saddle with me. AS approached the
wood band of about 100 animals burst
out of the brush and made off to the
south, and yes, most certainly, in the
middle of them was white buffalo. AL
though they were a quarter of mile
away, there could be no mistake about
it; he was there, as large as life, and
quite white, and running like deer.
There was no time to much more than
take in the scene, but gathered up the,
reins and was after him, determined
to bag that buffalo or kill my horse.
Oh, what race it was, mile after
mile; and although all the band, with
the exception of about dozen had
split off and gone in different, direc-
tions, the white animal, with his body
guard of about dozen, kept at about
the same distance ahead. / could catch.
glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was snow white
Get within shot could not, for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also, had
good hopes of coming up and getting a
shot. Alas! for such a chance Of g.
sudden my horse lurched forward on
his nose, sending me over his head onto
the prairie, and turning a somersault
himself, missing me by only few feet.
He had put his foot into badger hole
and brought my hopes of white robe
to sudden end.-Forest and Stream.

NO POSTAGE STAMPS.
A Place Where Letters Are Sent Free
of Cost.

of Cost.
The letters that the Sikh police in
Singapore send their kindred in India
and those that they receive in return
are almost invariably minus any post
age stamps. One of their European Of
ficers, noticing this, asked one of the
men the reason for this universal omis-
sion, and it was explained that the ma
tive postman's idea of honor concerning
the delivery of native letters are re-
stricted to towns.
Should the epistle be addressed to a
man in village some miles from the
Office, the postman duly takes the let
ter and starts off, but after going lit
tie way slips into the nearest patch of
jungle and throws it away, thus saving
himself any further trouble about the
matter. It is curious to note that let
tiers are seldom rifed. The trouble of
walking so far for mere letter seems
to worry the native mind, and no GU
riosity is aroused as to its contents.
If the letter, however, is unstamped,
the unhappy postman must deliver it at
its destination, as he is bound to pro-
duce on his return receipt for the fine
imposed for the omitted stamps.
They bear no Ill will to the postman
probably they would do the same in
his place; but they know the length Of
his methods neutrality-suspicious. City
