Holding the Tongue.

No organ of the human anatomy is more
often falsely accused of wrongdoing than
the innocent tongue. Even i'm sacred writ
it is called that unruly member" and
we are adjured TO hold it, as though it
were possessed Of an evil spirit that would
lead it and us to we know not what excess.
But in truth the faithful, obedient tongue
has nothing to do with our wicked and
hasty words, our false witnessings and our
mockings. Our proneness to lay the blame
upon it is only another manifestation of
that natural tendency TO shift responsible
ity which Father Adam first manifested i'm
the garden of Eden. The tongue indcedl
When did it utter naughty words un-
prompted by perverse and wayward
mind? The trouble lies much deeper than
with the tongue. it 10 Embedded In our
very natures.
So holding the tongue" Of itself is not
sufficient. The gossip must not be con-
tent with maintaining martyrlike 81.

things and substitute for IL broad and
healthy interest In great things The man
of hasty words must not be satisfied with
choking back the hot invectives; ne must

second Pleasing Production.

The second pleasing production OF the
opera Pirates OF PeDzance" was given
at the opera house last evening and was
greeted with another large audience. The
entertainment was given with the same
excellence as it was on the first occasion,
and the audience was fully az well pleased
and enthusiastic in their appreciation OF
the efforts OF the various performers.
The entertainment was given without
a hitch and manv who attended the two
performances think last evenings was
even better than Wednesdays.
1t is very rare that an entertainment
given by local talent has been accorded
such unqualified and unstinted praise as
has been given the Pirates OF penzance"
company.

Fire Broke Out In the
Apartments Over Ea-
gle Drug Store.
Blaze Penetrated the Roof
And Also Ruined the FuniIure-The
stock an the store Below Was
Badly Damaged By Water.

An alarm Of FIRE was turned in last
night shortly before u O'Clock from box
40 at the corner OF Oak and Sixth streets.
The fire proved 10 be in the residence ap-
artments over the Eagle drug store on
Fifth street. Officer Ward turned in the
alarm.
Thr fire departments were very quick
in responding and in less time than it
takes to tell il several streams were play
ing on the flames. The fire originated in
one OF the rooms in the front part OF the
building on the second floor and when
the lire was first seen large volumes OF
smoke were coming out OF the front win
dows. The origin OF the fire is apparent
" a mystery, as there was no one in the
rooms at the time, but il is thought by
many that il originated from the explo-
ton OF lamp left burning in the room.
The second floor OF the building was
occupied by Mr.. l.. Miller and bis family
and the front rooms were occupied by
Mr.. j. Clemo Jr audit was in these rooms
that the fire started. Although the fire
had gained considerable Roadway by the
time the departments arrived yet their
work was very effective and the blaze
was extinguished in short order after the
water was turned on,
The building, which is owned by Mr..
William Gilbert, is damaged to consider
able extent on the second floor. The fire
burned through to the roof in one or two
places and the inside OF the rooms was
somewhat damaged. The furniture in
both apartments on the second floor CON-
pletely ruined, but the damage is coyered
by insurance.
Messrs. Roberts & Vivian, Who recently
purchased the Eagle drug store, also suf-
fer by the fire, for the water which was
sent into the second floor came through
onto their stock. However, they are
congratulating themselves that they did
not have their stock OF Christmas goods,
which is at the depot. in the store and
unpacked, for the water would have
completely ruined il. Az it is, their loss
does not amount to great deal.

Surrounding the residence Of James
II. Heekin, Esq, OF Linwood, is
series of walks made Of small gravel.
To the casual observer there is nothing
III the walks to call for especial notice
In fact, unless his attention was caIler
to the matter, he would be apt to sniff
up his nose, kick the tiny gruvel and
say in slangy way: ''Thcre are eth

1t is the most expensive series of gray
eled walks in the world, composed. as
they are, OF seven or eight tors OF
gravel. each pound Of which cost III.
Hcekin something like 23 cents. Some
were less costly, but to Offset this ard
increase the average cost, some Of the
tiny stones were weighed out at cost
OF 30 OF more cents n pound.
This gravel has naught to recommend
them as things OF beauty. They are
small, brownish and grayish in color,
with few stones here and there of Il
reddish cast, but. oil in all. not bcauti.
full or striking in any particular.
Naturally one would think a business
man too filled with common sense To
indulge in such n luxury, especially
when beauty and art arc absent in t.,
result. But the facts in the case arc
Mr.. Heckin bought all these tons of
gravel without seeing them and very
much against his will. In a certain,
sense lac was imposed upon. and he
very wisely concluded to make the best
OF bad bargain. So he made tie walks
around his house, and at his leisrr,
has pride in tramping over the most
costly graveled walks upon the face of
the earth.
1t came about in this way. Mr..
I1eekin is very extensive dealer in and
Toaster Of coffee. AS If comes from the
hands Of the importers the little berries
arc ndultcratcd, or rather mixed, with
considerable numbers of worthless peb-
bles. though they cost as much as the
coffee itself. These must be removed
from roasted coffee. For n period If
years they were kept, and rs they ac-
cumulatcd Mr.. Ieekin hauled them to
his suburban home. and used them to
make gravelcd walks. Thus more than
5000 worth serve at least n useful end.

RAILROAD .GLEANINGS.

In new block signal system for rail-
roads the signals are operated auto
mntically by the passing train, which
closes the block as it enters and opens it
ct the next block, which is in turn
closed, thus telling the next engineer it,
there is a train close ahead of him.
It is probable that, in the near future,
every cmploye of the B. & o. will have
a distinctive uniform. Train men are
now ncntly attired, but the receivers de-
sire that each employee have either a

Thirty years ago the B. & o. bought
