FIRE ON GRAND AVENUE,

Discovered and Put Out by Fireman.
A small blaze occurred about 4:45
yesterday afternoon in the vacant store
at 1877 Grand avenue and owned by
Michael Downey, and formerly occupied
by James Lacey. Lieutenant Borst of
engine No. 2 was passing the building
ana seeing d ire inside on the moor
went around to the back door, which
he burst in, and entered the building.
He extinguished the blaze in a few
minutes. It is thought that the fire
originated by a son of Mr.. DoWney
leaving a lighted candle in the store
room yesterday morning. Fire was
communicated from this to a pile of
waste paper. The damage done is slight.

Drivers OF "AutomObiles."

Horseless carriages are more than a
fad in Paris. Although still the pr-
vate playthings of the rich, they have
been added to the list of public con-
veniences also.
The Electric Cab Company, which
will control the public service, is busy
just now training the men who have
applied for position as drivers. The
trial-place is Il stretch of ground half
mile in length at Auberviliers, a sub
urb of Paris.
This testing-grOund Is fiat in places.
In other places there are sharp inclines.
Here and there it Is macadamized, in
spots it is paved with wood, and in
others with stone. All along the road
are strewn bits Of glass, sticks. piles of
stone and other obstacles which the
men who would drive a cab with pneu-
matte tires must learn to avoid.
But the notable features of this road
way are life-siZe iron figures, made and
painted In imitation Of pedestrians.
They are held upright by wooden sup
ports, and located at points along the
route selected with view to testing
the skill of the apprentice in avoiding
running over them.

1 wonder what would have happened
If Adam had refused to eat the apple.
The reason Solomon told so many
truths about women was because he
was brave enough to do it.
When woman sits in church with
sad, PARKWAY look in her eyes she
ISN'T always thinking about heaven.
One reason all women are dead sure
they can fool all men is that most men
keep their mouths shut as to what they
think about 1t.
A man can feel real comfortable with
only pipe, but woman needs fash.
Ion paper, n Mother Hubbard and some
body to take down her hair
1t is just as difficult for woman to
sharpen leadpencil without biting
her lips as it Is for her to put in her
kind curriers' without puckering up her
forehead.

Simple Calculation.

There is very simple rule for finding
the average number of years which per-
sons of any given age may expect to
live. If the present age be deducted
from 80, two-thirds of the remainder
is the answer required. The result is
not absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, n 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
81 years, while the tables give it as over
% years. At 60 the above rule allows
just over 13 years, and the tables show
q little less.

I he Care of the Hands,

The hands should be washed In warm
water not. hot water, and, If possible.
in soft water. After washing they
should be dried very thoroughly in bran
or oatmeal. and great care taken that
the nails are most thoroughly dry; in
the drying the cuticle can be pushed
back sufficiently to show the half-mOon
at the base Of the nail. Nail-scissors,
not used for any other purpose. should
be used to cut off any hangnails; but
1t is better to use a file to keep the nails
short and for this purpose there should
be three or four files Of varying size.
To give the luster desired there Is a
new kind of wash that makes the nails
pink, not deep red, and also gives gloss
and finish. After this Is put on the
hands should be washed. but sufficient
of the polish will remain.
After the hands are washed the Sec
ond time to remove the polish the nails
should be rubbed briskly. either with a
piece Of channels, nail polisher, or by
rubbing them again with the palm of
the hand. This last method is perhaps
the best Of all. for it polishes lust
enough without giving too exaggerated
finish in arance.-Harper's Ba-
