FIRE IN HALIFAX CITADEL.

Halifax, \. S. February 9.-Fire has
just been discovered in the citadel and
its extent is not definitely. known.
Clouds of smoke overhang over the city
and some people entertain fears for the
magazines which may or may not prove
groundless. A general alarm has been in
on the city fire service and soldiers have
been piped out and are at WORK with
the city department.. The fort is diffit ult
of access 10 the fire service being over
so feet above the sea. Great quantities
of explosives are stored there, but 1t is
underground vaults which may be i'm.
pregnable TO heat.
Halifax, February i0-At three O'Clock
the fire was under control. The Royal
artillery regimental quarters were
burned. The ire started in the basement
and burned to the roof and extended for
sixty yards along the range OF buildings
inside the fort. A II the regimental papers
were burned. The loss will be several
thousand dollars. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
General Lord Seymour said there had
been no fire in this building for some
time past. A searching investigation has
heen ordered. A serious phase of the
thing was that all the water plugs in the
fort were frozen solid and wsre useless. |.

with Two Lawyers.

Auburn, Feb. g.--The trial of w. r.
Sturgis of Auburn against Lewis f.
johnson Biddeford lawyer began in
the supreme Court today. The trial
grew ont of an occurrence at the
New England Fair at Rigby last
August. Mr.. Sturgis had his pockets
picked on the train returning to the city.
He thought he knew the thief and fol-
lowede him to another car. Mr.. johnson
followed Sturgis. While the latter was
talking to the alleged thief Mr.. johnson
asked him why he didn't take hold of
him. Mr.. Sturgis then indicated that if
the man whom he had followed through
the car hadn't the money that he, Mr.
Johnson, had it, which Mr.. Johnson de-
MED. The alleged thief slipped away
and Mr.. Sturgis and Mr.. johnson re-
turned to the ear and Mr.. Sturgis
"staid" with Mr.. johnson until they
got 10 Portlond.
At the request of MIR. johnson they
went to the Office of Samuei l.. Bates
where Sturgis was induced to sign two
notes, one on 60 days time for $50, and
one on demand for the same amount.
whion have since been paid.
The conditions were that Lawyer
johnson shouldn't sue Mr.. Sturgis for
Islander.
He says that many inquiries were made
of him as to his ability to settle rather
than be arrested and brought into court
on the charge OF Islander he became
frightened and said that rather than be
arrested OF have any trouble he would
settle.
He signed the sixty days note first and
just as he was going out Bates called him
back and made him sign another for $50
on demand.
Mr. Sturgis seeks to recover the amounts
paid for t SO notes. on the ground that
he was intimidated.

There is nothing that most lives so
much need as to conflne their efforts to
the one thing needful. Most of what
we think necessary is not necessary at
all, and often is very hurtful.
Martha's part was not bad in itself:
it became bad only when a better part
presented itself When God calls to
household tasks. then to be a Martha
is to choose what is for the time the
best part; for the best part at any min
ute is always to do Gods will for that
minute.
Martha was troubled" about the
part she had chosen. II your life is a
worrying life, that is proof that you
have not chosen the best part.
If you want to know whether you are
taking the right course in life. ask
yourself whether you enjoy the feel
ing Of permanence.
You may toll all day over tasks that
make the back ache. and yet have been
idle all day in the sight of the angels.
And it is possible to do nothing all
day but sit still and commune with
God. and yet to have done the best
days work of your entire life.

You are going along a dark road at
night, wondering where to put your
foot next. A flash of lightning will
reveal to you in an instant, not only
your particular road, but the whole
landscape. You are cropping your way
In dark mine Suddenly the miners
lamp flashes in the passage, and you
see clearly. You are in a dark garrett.
You know not what there is in it.
You open the shutter, let in the light,
and instantly see all 1t contains. Even
the dust ON the furniture is clearly re-
vealed. God Is light, and when he
shines into your soul, you see in
moment all that is there. Evil
thoughts, evil purposes, all evil, is re-
vealed. His light shows our sins,
shows them as nothing else can, and
shows them in all their evil instantly.
The man who does not think he is
very bad only thinks so because he
has not yet had the light of God shine
into his heart-Rev. G. B. Hallock.

The Cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is
the cheerful face. There is no mistak-
ing it. The bright eye, the unclouded
brow, the sunny smile, all tell of that
which dwells within. Who has not
felt its electrifying influence? one
glance at this face lifts us out of the
mists and shadows into the beautiful
realms of hope. One cheerful face in
the household will keep everything
warm and light within. 1t may be a
very plain face, but there is something
in it we feel. but cannot express, and
its CHEEKY smile sends the blood dane
ing through the veins for very joy
There is a word of blessed magic in
the plain. cheerful face, and we would
not exchange it for all the soulless
beauty that ever graced the fairest
form ON earth.-St. Xavier's Monthly

Peculiarities Of Etiquette.

Etiquette is strange affair. il
changes so indisputably that what in
one century will be called polite in an,
other will be dubbed the climax OF
vulgarity. Take that simple matter,
for example, the drinking OF tea from
the saucer When tea was first used
in England it was drunk from dish,
In old collections of china many OF
these quaint pieces may be found. They
are shallow basins devoid of handles
altogether Then some one introduced
cups with handles and saucers. Old
fashioned folk did not care for them,
and as a protest they poured their lea
into the saucer and drank it from
there, barking back as far as they could
to the old beloved dish. But as to
be old-fashioned is usually an unpar-
donable social crime, people who were
ND to date determined that to drink
from the saucer was a vulgar habit,
Just as bad as eating with a knife-a
custom you will see very admirably
brought up persons practice abroad,
and be thought none the worst for
either.

Gen. Grant how to capture the town Of
Paducah, Ky. An Iowa man wanted
$3.50 for cutting corns off sailors and
soldiers during the rebellion; another
from New York wanted s25 for a pair
of trousers which were eaten off a
clothes-line by a government goat; a
fellow in Minnesota requested the sum
of $3.50 for a sky-blue horse taken by
the soldiers; the sum of $50 would sat-
