Bellaire Brief Notes.

Yesterday evening between seven and
eight o'clock, Fred Rife, an old and
we'll known employe of the plate mill
at the Bellaire steel plant, had a very
narrow escape from a horrible death,
and as 1t was he lost his left foot and
ankle While at work Rife was
caught by the left leg between slide
and a red hot ingo-, and had it not
been for his presence of mind in
throwing himself to one side he would
have been crushed to death. His foot
and ankle were terribly mangled and
burned, and amputation below the knee
was necessary.
The injured man is about forty-five
years of age, and his home is on a
farm near Businessburg. He used to
be helper when the pudding fur
naces were running, and his many
friends deplore his terrible mishap.

the First Woman Aeronaut.

The first American woman aeronaut
Mrs. Lucretia B, Hubbell, of Norwich
Conn, is still living, and has a thrilling
story to tell of her adventure at Easton
Pa, forty-three years ago, witnessed by
several thousand people. Mrs. Hubbell
was then unmarried and a lecturer on
phrenology. She decided on an aerial
flight for pleasure and expansion of the
lungs" to say nothing of a good adver-
tisement. The balloon was a fine and
large one of silk. and shot up so rapidly
into the cold air that the aeronaut s
hands were benumbed. While she was
opening the bags of ballast with her
teeth the balloon burst. BY a strange
chance the fragments formed perfect
parachute and drifted eleven miles fur
ther landing with hard bump in a New
Jersey field. The daring young woman
escaped without a scratch.

AS IT SEEMS TO HIM.

ton, for il was evidently swelled with
toothache.
HI. mistress. my forwardness carried
me to go and look upon the corpse, of
which the duppy thereupon boxed me
upon the jaw, was the answer.
The awful visitants are many, but the
commonest is the rolling calf. Sometimes
this is black, sometimes white. 1t APP
pears after dark, and looks, at first,
small like a pusS,' but as one draws near
il suddenly increases to a huge size. 1t
never speaks. but it rattles long chain
and throws stones, AN him's de debble.'
To carry a Bible is potent charm against
ghostly fears and midnight harms; also
to make the sign of the cross above the
door.
THE 'duppy' is a shadow. and when We
know that shadow and soul are Identical
in African dialects, We seem to catch "A
glimpse at the first striVings after re-
ligion in a black and ignorant race. 1t
is the yeaTning of the human toward the
unseen, the attempt to follow the spirit
in its flight, to see little way along the
path from earth into the unknown land"

PHILANTHROPY WELL MEANT
Mistakes of Tender Hearts Mindful
of EIevating Poor Women.

Women who make philanthropy bust
ness frequently show the most amazing
/ ignorance Of human nature and the life
into which they try to bring new ideas.
writes THE Spinster" in the Chicago
Times Herald. ] know a very admira bic
woman who is laboring with mothers in
the vicinity of Halsted Street She has
ample leisure. and devotes her Sunday
| afternoon to getting poor women into
some hall 10 learn how to get along in
! the world. Her task has been going on
for months. She complains that she has
almost entirely new faces at each sue
cessive meeting. The mothers come once
and never come again. She cannot see
the reason for it. The trouble is she
treats the women she is trying to ele-
vate very differently from the women
with whom she associates. She would
never think Of trying to entertain her
friends, save in providing some divertise-
ment. She goes into Halsted Street and
hopes to get her friends into hall by
promising them an essay on some theory.
She has doctor come and tell the moth
ers of great brOods of children how to
bring up children and be mothers The
mothers do not know how TO do any
thing else. 1t is not so much bother to
them to bring up children as it is to feed
them. The essayist tells about the neces-
sity of cleanliness and the proper modes
of garments, while the poor mother Of
ten or twelve sits in Stupor and wonders
where she is going TO get one change of
raiment for her poor little ones TO last
all summer.
| know another most estimabIe woman
who went into the factory districts to
entertain the girls with music during the
noon hour. This one insists on playing
classical things. The girls came once A
new set came the second time. and the
third time no one came. She then chang
ed her plan. She played the popular airs
of the day. 1t put the dance into the
girls toes. They waltzed and tore around
the hall. and now each one of the noon
musicales is fairly mobbed with young
women. The two illustrations only prove
that the way for women to lift up wo-
men is to get down to them and point the
way. You can never get them started to
a better plane by standing on the heights
and calling down to them. You cannot
work reforms until you establish admira-
ton and distraction from pressing every
day cares. Entertain first, instruct af-
terward. This Lent l received a hand
engraved invitation to join Ia
dies retreat" arranged by one of the
sisters orders. This feature of Lenten
has grown wonderfully within
the last five years, and this season | am
told that the converts were taxed to ac-
society women who sought
a place where absolute rest and repent
ance might be enjoyed for seven unin-
terrupted, blissful days of perfect peace.
1t seems to be to the soul what the new
tangled rest cure is to the body.

Flowers for SICK Peonle.

The practice of sending flowers to sick friends
is general. Probably not two in ten persons who
send them stop to consider whether the sufferers
really get enjoyment out of the blossoms
trained nurse who has had half dozen years
experience says the sick a general rule do not
care for flowers. OF course she has no reference
to those who merely indisposed for day or
two. but to such are bedfsst and require con-
slant attendance.
-Four out Of five do not care for flowers" said
the nurse. "0f course. they feel grateful to the
senders, but that is all. They have no desire to
look at the roses carnations At the most
they care for only one vaseful I have often
noticed that when several friends send flowers
the patient is sort of put OUT
