A Shower of Hats and Shoes.

Charles F. M. Mieglatz contributes "a
Boys Recollections of the Great Chicago
Fire" to the October St. Nicholas. Mr..
Mieglatz says:
Once, for few minutes, thought it
was all over with me. The flames sprang
from the middle of the block, on the east
side Of Wells street between Wash
ington and Randolph, to the middle
of the block between Randolph and
Lake streets. Here a remarkable thing
happened. At the northwest corner of
Wells and Lake streets | stopped for a
moment to catch my breath and to look
back. At the southeast corner theirs was
boot and shoe shop, which had a glass
front on the rear alley. similar to that
on the street front, but not so elaborate.
The fire struck this alley front with a
force that swept the boots and shoes
through the shop and into the street in a
flash. tongue of flame shot out. rolled
across the street, and kindled tar-kettlt
and barrel, such as PAYERS use, bring
ing with it shower Of boots and shoes
Almost at the same instant the fir'
threw itself against hat-factory, few
doors east of the boot and shoe shop
1t hit the rear of the building with tn
same impelling force, and hats flew vi
into the air like spray.

Josef H0fmann's Wonderful
Memory.

closet Hoffman, has an astounding
memory" writes Mary B. Mullett,. OF
the famous young pianist, in the October
Ladies' Home Journal. while ne was
in this country, last season, he did not
have with him single piece of music for
his own use. He brought only the scores
for the orchestra. During the early part
of his season here he sprained his wrist
slightly, and for week he did not touch
the piano. At the end OF the week he APP
peared in concert. and played with the
orchestra Beethoven Concerto which
he had not similarly played for eight
years. His only preparation was to sit
up in bed just before the concert and
look over borrowed score. When he is
expecting to play in the evening ne
scarcely TOUCHES the piano during the
day. Perhaps he plays for half an hour
some exercises to take the stiffness out OF
his fingers.
"He is very prone to become so inter-
ested in things that he forgets how time
flies, and he is quite as likely to do this
when he is to play as at any other time.
Often when his father and his manager,
after an hour of anxious waiting, are on
the point of going to the. theatre and
calling off the concert, Holman rushes
in all out OF breath and with hands red
and stiff with cold. He plunges them
into hot water to take out the stiffness,
then gets into his evening clothes at top
speed, Jumps into carriage, and is
driven to the theatre without stopping
To taste food"

Animals Never Thirsty.

There are in the world several kinds of
animals that have never swallowed a
drop of water in all their lives; these in
clude the llamas Of Patagonia and GER
tain gazelles of the Far East. A paroquet
lived fifty-two years in the London Zoo
logical Gardens without drinking drop,
and some naturalists think that hares
take no liquid except the dew that some
times forms on the grass that they eat.
A considerable number of reptiles-ser-
penis, lizards and certain batrachians-
live and prosper in places where there is
no water at all. Finally, there are, even
in France, in the neighborhood of the
Lozere, herds of cows and goats which
almost never drink, and which neverthe'
less produce the milk of which the ia
nous Roquefort cheese is made.-[West

What ScrOfuIa Is.

Scrofula is disease as old as antiquity.
1t has been handed down for generations
and is the same today as in early times.
1t is emphatically disease of the blood,
and the only way to cure it is by purify
ing the blood. That is what Hood s
Sarsaparilla does in every case where it is
given faithful trial. 1t eradicates all
impurities from the blood, and cures the
sores, boils, pimples and all forms Of skin
disease due to scrofula taints in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has won the CRATE
full praise OF vast numbers of people by
its grand and complete cures. Don't
allow scrofula to develop in your blood
Cure it at once by taking Hoods Sarsa'
parilla.

The Accnser Anonsed.

DOVER, N. H., April 5.-The trial
of Alfred w. Jones for the murder of
his mother, Sally w. Jones of Milton.
by administering white arsenic in her
medicine in December, 1896, was begun
here yesterday before Chief Justice A
p. Carpenter and Associate Justice r.
M. Wallace. Great interest has been
felt in the case here on account of the
peculiar features which have been de-
veloped. Mrs. Jones. the victim of the
alleged murder, died in December, 1896.
Some six months after Alfred Jones,
her son, appeared before the county au-
thoritles and stated that he suspected
his father OF having poisoned his moth
er on account OF a quarrel over some
property. He wished to get authority
TO have his mothers body disinterred
for examination, and the desired per-
mission was finally granted The exam
ination disclosed the presence Of arsenic
in the stomach of the dead woman. The
accusations Of the son were renewed
but when the authorities investigated
the matter they found more evidence
against Alfred w. Jones than against
the father, and the son was arrested.

has made arrangements with China 10
take over the port OF Wei-hai-wei. on
the Shang-tung peninsula, when the
Chinese government has paid the war
indemnity due TO Japan and the Japa-
nese troops have evacuated the place.
The arrangement, IL is added, was made
with the knowledge and approval of
Japan, with which country an under
standing had previously been arrived
at. The latter fact was kept secret un-
til China had actually agreed to the
lease and the British fleet had assem-
bled in the vicinity. II is said on good
authority that neither Russia nor Ger
many is pleased with the arrangement,
and IL is added that the island of Leu
kungtau, at the entrance Of Wei-hai-
wei, will be strongly fortified. 1t is said
to be capable Of being successfully de-
Tended. while the land batteries de-
stroyed by the Japanese can speedily
be reconstructed.
The Peking correspondent OF The
Times says:
The indications are that France Will
demand a coaling station at the mouth
Of the Min river near Fu-chou, province
of Fuxien, where the French engineers
control the arsenal and dock. The de-
lay in the concession Of the recent
French demands is attributed to Eng
