Bad Fire In Augusta.

Augusta, Ga, Dec 27.-The lumber plant of the Perkins Manufacturing com pany and the Georgia Iron works, owned by the Perkins Manufacturing company, were completely destroyed last night by fire, the origin of which is unknown. It was discovered at 9 o'clock by a passer by in the glazing room of the lumber plant and spread with great rapidity to the iron works across the street. It was only owing to the absence of wind that many nearby frame dwelling houses were not swept away. The total loss was about $175, 1000, divided as follows: Lum- Der plant, including machinery and fin ished lumber stored in yards, S125,000; Georgia Iron works, mill and machinery, $5O,00O The insurance on the lumber plant is $65, 800 and on the Georgia Iron works mill and machinery S31 100. The latter does not include the loss of many valuable patterns, which cannot be du- plicated. By this fire POO men are thrown out of employment. This is the third dis astrous fire in Augusta this month.

An Insult We'll Handled.

You caR always trust the American woman to take care of herself.

She was standing, this Eighteenth street girl, at the corner of F and Eleventh streets waiting for a girl friend. A very dap per young man, stranger doubtless in the town-for most Washingtonians are too well aware of the girls social emil hence to venture on any impertinence to her-stepped up, bowed and said airily:

 The girl turned to look at him.
 Guess you've forgotten me-" he went on with growing familiarity. "I saw you at a dinner last week."
 The girl looked at him steadily for a moment.
 'Oh, remember now," she said. "It was at Colonel Blanks. You are Colo nel Blanks butler, of course. No, don't know of anybody who wants a butler. Have you tried the employ ment agenciesT

YOUNG A GOVERNOR.
Work of Reconstruction Tn Luron
 Begun.

Hare. and the Third cavalry. He will establish permanent stations at San Fer nando and Laoag, with outposts wher- ever needed. The Sixteenth infantry will proceed to Aparri. garrisoning such towns as may be deemed necessary in the provinces of Cagayan. Isabella and Nueyo Vizcaya. of which Colonel Hood has been appointed governor. General Young and Colonel Hood are establishing civil mu- nicipal governments. and the ports in northern LUXOR will be opened for trade about Jan. l.
 Reports are coming in slowly of en- counters between the Americans and in surgents at various places beyond the reach of the military telegraph line.

In the island of panay Captain Brown ells company of the Twenty-sixth volun- teer infantry gave the rebels severe drubbing at Sala. Tn natives of the province of Romblon, in the same island, will surrender their arms.

rlnieurs Of heaven ring out upon them from temples that are always open, amid pleasures that never die. Oh, 1t Is not dull heaven, but lively heav- en, for there are so many children there! They throng the streets. They look out of the House of Many Man sions." They stand on the beach to see the fleets cast anchor within the vale. They crowd the gates with greetings when the old folks come in. They clap their hands in an eternal gladness. They dance in an eternal glee. See you not the sunshine that pours into the shadows of that cradle until they are all gone?
 But shadows have their uses. There must be background to every good picture. Turner always put at least a heck of cloud on his canvas, and the clouds of earth will be the background to bring out more nightly the bright ness of heaven. And will 1t not be glo- rious if after all this scene of earthly vicissitude we meet again in our Fa- ther's house and talk over the past in an everlasting holiday? But mean while look out for the cradles. How much they decide for this world and the next! When Wellington was born at Mornington, England, that decided Waterloo and saved Europe. When Handel was born in Halle, SaxCsy. that decided the oratorios of Judas Maccabmus' and Esther" and Israel Tn Egypt" and ~Jephthah" and Mes siah." When Eli Whitney was born at Westboro, that decided the wealth of all the cotton fields of the south When Gutenberg was born at Metz, Germany, that decided the libraries of all Chris tendon. When Clarkson was born in Cambridgeshire, England, that decided the doom of human bondage. When Morse was born at Breeds Hill, Mass, that decided that the lightnings of heaven should become galloping couri- CTS or stretch a throbbing iron nerve clear under the sea. When Washing ton was born at Westmoreland, Va, that decided American independence. When Christ was born at Bethlehem, that decided the redemption of the world. Oh, look out for the cradles! May Bethlehem star of hope point down to each one of them and every lowering cloud be filled with chanting angels or mercy.

A dispatch from Dawson City recounts a terrible tragedy which took place near Ogilvie. Mrs. J. Rumball, Mrs. Dunn bottom, Henry Kelly and two MacNa- mara brothers, who had been passengers on the wrecked steamer Stratton, hail. ing from Minneapolis, were caught in an ice jam. Their boat, being small, was crushed, and all perished. Another trag- edy is reported from White Horse, where three men named T. Smith, Fred Batty and John Mcintosh were engaged in sal vaging the cargo of the steam scow Lin derman. Being unexpectedly struck by a heavy swell, their boat filled and sank. The men were not seen after the boat disappeared, and it is supposed they were carried under the ice.

TaIIow Candles as Medicine

In France the peasantry still stick to medicines calculated to turn the aver. age doctors hair gray with horror.
 Wine Is an ingredient of every pre-. scription. In fever cases 1t is always the predominant one. The French peasants faith in fermented grape juice Is truly beautiful.
 If his children are stricken with the measles, he gives them wine well sweetened with honey and highly spic. ed with pepper. For severe cold he administers a quart of red wine and a melted tallow candle mixed. For scar let or brain fever he gives eggs, white wine and soot well beaten together.
 Not all their superstitions are curi ous. Some are pathetic. A mother, for instance, often buries her dead child with its favorite toy or lock of hel own hair in the coffin, "that it may not feel quite alone"
