A Town of consumptives.

Forty years ago the inhabitants Of
Mentone, France, and neighborhood
were a healthy, happy race of splendid
physique, to whom consumption was
absolutely unknown.
Then Mentone became the Mecca of
the consumptive. The peasants left
their farms and their healthy lives to
wait on the wealthy invalids. Farm
ers' wives and daughters became wash
erwomen, constantly handling clothing
impregnated with the germs of con-
sumption. Thousands of consumptives
died there, impregnating the soil and
the water with the germs Of their dis
ease.
AS a result, the earth, air and water
of Mentone are infested with the tuber-
Gle bacillus, and the once healthy peas
antry are cOnsumptives almost to a
man and woman. No more complete
or startling proof of the truth of the
once derided germ theory Of disease
could well be imagined than this.

The Laugh Wasn't on the Boy.

1t is said that Professor Blackie Of

This genial old professor used to form
a very picturesque feature in the Edin-
burgh streets. He was wiry old pa
triarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in ringlets about his Shout
ders. No one who had seen him could
possibly forget him. One day he was
accosted by very dirty little bootblack
with his "Shine your boots, sirY' The
professor was impressed by the filth
ness of the boys face.
81 don't want q shine, my lad" said
he. But if you'll go and wash your
face I'll give you sixpence."
ga RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to neighboring
fountain and made his additions Re-
turning, he held out his hand for the
money.
"Well, my lad said the professor,
you have earned your sixpence. Here

A Curious Ear.

The catfish uses his lungs as an organ
Of hearing. The needless lung becomes
a closed sac filled with air and COM
monty known as the swim bladder. In
the catfish. as in the suckers, clubs
and most brook fish, the air bladder
is large and is connected by slender
tube, the remains Of the trachea, to the
oesophagus. AT it's front it fits closely
to the vertebral column. The anterior
vertebrate are much enlarged, twisted
together, and through them passes a
chain Of bones, which connects with the
hidden cavity of the air. The bladder
therefore assists the ear of the catfish
as the tympanum and it's bones assist
the ear of the higher animals. An ear
Of this sort can carry little range Of
variety in sound. 1t probably gives
only the impression Of Jars or disturb

A Sudden Introduction.

Philadelphia paper tells funny
story of the blizzard days of last win.
ter in that city. A certain Mr.. X. had
over his dining room skylight which
was burdened with a great weight OF
snow, and early one evening he took a
snow shovel and went up to remove it,
He shoveled it off, and then it occurred
to him that he would perform the same
service for his next door neighbor,
whose dining room lay side by side
with his own, the construction of the
two houses being alike.
The inmate of the next house was a
worthy widow, whom Mr. X. had new
er met, but with whom his wife was
Oh calling terms.
Mr.. X. proceeded to a position from
which he could, as he supposed, safely
shovel off the snow, but in doing so he
made false step and got on the sky
light. Crash! went the glass, and down
through the aperture went Mr.. X.
1t Glanced that his next door neigh
Dor was just at this time eating her
dinner. Mr.. X. landed in sitting pos.
ture in the middle Of her table, sur.
rounded by snow, broken glass and
china, capszed dishes of food, and still
manfully brandshing his snow shovel.
The shovel told the story to the wild.
ow. Although somewhat disconnected
she quickly regained her composure
recognized the neighbor whom she had
seen pass her door, and exclaimed, pc.
litely:
ooh, Mr.. X, am very glad you
have called! I've often heard Mrs. *

VICTOR FIRE SWEPT
COLORADO TOWN SUFFERS A LOSS
OF S2,5oo,ooo.

Business Portion of the Place Is Com
pletely Wiped Out-Efforts to Stay the
Flames by Blowing Up Buildings With
Dynamite Prove Futile.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Aug. 22.-Fire
has utterly destroyed the business por.
ton of the city of Victor, causing loss
estimated at s2,5OO,OoO. Beginning
shortly after noon, the fire ragged until
evening, consuming everything in it's
way. 1t had its origin, it is thought, in
the Merchants cafe, adjoining the
Bank of Victor, on the corner of Third
street and Victor avenue A strong
wind from the south famed the flames
and in few minutes all the surround.
ing houses were afire.
Help was summoned from Cripple
| Creek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp and was Of
pine timber for the most part, and
burned like finder. Efforts were made
to stop the progress of the flames by
blowing up buildings in their path by
means of dynamite, and all afternoon
| the hills roared with the explosions, but
the effort was i'll vain.
The fire claimed the Bank of Victor,
the postoffice on the corner of the street,
crossed Third street and followed the
row OF blocks between Third and Fourth
streets to the north, taking the Victor
Banking company, the Western Union
Telegraph company's office and the Of
flee OF the Colorado Telephone company,
the Hotel Victor on the opposite side of
Fourth street and the three great shaft
houses of the Gold Coin Mining COM
pany and its ore bins, among the largest
in the Cripple Creek district.
From there the flames were swept
nortkward by the half hurricane which
was blowing, and never stopped until
they had taken the entire Florence and
Cripple Creek depot and the fine new
depot of the Midland Terminal roaa
at the head of Fourth street. Al!
buildings between these are total
loss, with practically their entire con-
tents, for the flames were so rapid in
their progress that nothing could be
saved.
The scenes of the great Cripple Creek
conf1agration were duplicated. Hurry
ing before the. roaring flames went
men, women and children, carrying
what they could snatch from the flames
racing for their lives. The crash of
buildings torn asunder by dynamite
and the crackle of the flames as they
consumed the dry buildings hastene1
their flight and the pail Of smoke added
terror to the spectacle.
The residence portion of the city
has suffered comparatively little, but
the business portion is paralyzed and
suffering is bound to follow. The
burned area may be thoroughly desig-
mated as the space between the head of
North street and Victor avenue, extend
ing from the Gold Coin mine buildings
on the west to a point near Second
street and down Third street almost to
Diamond avenue.
The first house was built in Victor
in October, 1898. In July of the fol-
lowing year the city was Incorporated,
and six years later it contained 10000
people. That is about che population
now.

See How Long You WIN live.

There is a very simple rule for find
ing the average number Of years which
persons Of any age may expect to live.
If the present age be deducted from
80, two-thirds Of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, man aged 20
might by this rule expect to live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation Of life works out at nearly
q years, while the tables give it as
more than % years. At GO the above
rule allows just over Is years, and the
table shows little less.
