JUST A CURTAIN FIRE.
Did Complicated Damage in Girls
Boarding School

A tire IN a skyscrapcr may be
thrilling, but COR dramatic episodes
and unexpected complications fire
in a girls boarding school surpasseS
it. The boarding school fire is usu-
ally what is known among insurance
men as a. curtain fire, but a curtain
Ere in a girls school is more exciting
and causes more casualties than an or
binary blaze anywhere else
One evening last week two girls,
who occupy microscopic hall bed
room in swell uptown school, took
the globes off the gas fixtures for hair
curling purposes and left them off,
because it was easier to do that than
to put them on again. Then the girls
raised the window a trifle in order to
cool the room, and dutifully sat down
to write home letters. The inevitable
happened, and when girl number one
poised her pen in the air and glanced
around the room in search Of inspira-
ton she saw the curtains in blaze.
She screamed Girl number two
looked around and echoed the scream.
Then, with promptitudc and dis
cretion, both girls tainted. The
screams had attracted the attention Of
the other girls, who rushed to the
scene ard then did various and sun
dry stunts, according to their several
dispositions. One tainted, several
wepi, q few ran out of the house, and
The rest shouted for the one man on
the premises.
When he arrived things looked
rather hopeless. Curtains and wood
work were blazing finely. The floor
was Uttered with PROSTATE forms, and
when three girls have tainted on the
floor ef hall bedroom there isn't
much space in the room for prom
enading. The man picked his way
across the PROSTATE forms and Or
dered all the girls who were not in O
dead faint to leave the room, but they
didn't go until he lost his temper and
spoke with a force which isn't com
mon in boarding-school circles. Then
they fled; but, unluckily, there was an
enemy in the rear. A vigorous and
practical young woman from Texas
had been inspired to go after some
water. Returning in mad haste with
a large pitcher full Of water borne tri-
umphantly aloft she collided with the
retreating forces at the door. The
pitcher struck the leader of the re-
treat squarely in the face and knocked
out two of her front teeth, whereupon
the injured girl made the fainting
trio quartette and the water carrier
dropped her pitcher and went into
violent Mysteries,
Hysteria, as boarding-School teach
ers know to their sorrow, is contagious,
and the one case touched off the
crowd. By the time teachers arrived
upon the scene the fire was out, but
the survivors were in bad way. 1t
was necessary to put nine-tenths Of
the school to bed and order wholesale
doses of bromide. Even now the girls
insist that they haven't recovered
from the shock sufficiently to do hard
studying; and the victims Of the wa
ter pitcher are both under the care
Of trained nurses. As for the man

confded to the cook that he was 60

experience would be of value to him.

She Will Find Out.
Ocean,.

He had been out pretty late, and
h. knew it. Where he had been, who
he had been with and what the other
fellows had been doing are matters
not germane to the story. Suffice to
say that when he opened the door
with his latchkey and made as quiet
an entry as possible he felt in his
guilty heart that the wife of his bosom
would ask him a whole lot Of things
which he did not care to detail just at
that time. He was not mistaken. As
soon as his wife heard him enter the
chamber she knew instinctively that
he was trying to "hold out" on her,
and she asked
Where have you been ?"
Now it wasn't part Of his plan to
tell her where he had been. The
idea was farther from his mind, go he

"if you will let me 80 to sleep and
don't ask me any questions now or at
any other time about whore | have
been I will give YOU $50 in cash for
yourself.
This was poser, and the dutiful
wife naturally started to reach for
the $50. But feminine curiosity was
a lttl. too strong and she did not at
once acquiesce. The next morning,
when she arose, the first thing that
caught her eyes was her husbands
coat, with one sleeve torn out by the
roots and hanging by a thread.

asked,

persisted
"See here" he said, suddenly, "do
you want to lose that $50? If you do,
just keep asking questions about that
If you want to get it, Just let the mat

Being a wise woman, she let it drop,
but his friends are making bets that
she will first secure the $50 and then
find out some way how the sleeve got
loose.

Used Buckets for Firewood.

1--WE see lots of strange things,

would hang up with us bit if we
didn't mind. He looked so green and

wasn't two hours before chamber
maid sent down word that the old man
was gathering up all the fire buckets

the CRATE in his room.
q charged up to his room to find
out what be meant by such conduct.
I found him in bis room calmly smash
ing up the buckets by bringing his No.
IA cowhide boots upon them. The
buckets were some that we had placed
in the hall a number Of years ago to
be used in case Of FIRE. But as we had
lately placed FIRE hydr4nts on every
floor with reels Of hose at every point,
We had allowed the buckets to 60 into
disuse.
See here I yelled, as l took in
the situation, what in the name Of
heaven DO you mean by burning up
thos. buckets p
Why, answered the innocent old
codger, as he picked up one Of the
buckets, doesn't it say right here on
them, To Be Used for Fire Only?
Il wilted and told him to go ahead.
They were not worth much, anyway,

NEW VOL. 34.--NO. A.
AtavIsm Among Animals.


DR.. Louis Robinson, an English
zoologist, has Just given to the world
an account of his Investigations as TO
the origin of the habits and mode of
life of certain animals, and the con-
clusior at which he seems to arrive is
that all such phenomena may be ex-
planned on the grounds of atavism.
Thus he claims that the horse of our
day derives his swiftness and power Of
endurance from the fact that his an
cestors in former days were obliged
to flee from, and frequently to defend
themselves against, their great ene-
mics, the wolves. In ike manner be
claims that the reason why the horse
SHES is because his ancestors were
forced to be constantly on tue alert
against hidden enemies, and that the
reason why he rears and Plunges is
bee fuse only by pursuing such tactics
could his ioreiathers shake oil wild
animals who had leapei upon their
backs.
Sheep when frightened immediately
rush off TO the highest point they can
reach. The reason, says Dr. Robin
son, is because all sheep originally IN
habitel mountainous districts. And
this, he claims, is also the reason why
they wear thick fleece of wool all
the year through, the summer tenn
perature in mountainous districts be-
ing almost as cold as that OF winter.
Finally, We are assured that the reason
sheep invariably follow leader is be-
cause their ancestors were obliged to
90 in Indian file through the narrow
mountainous passes
Pigs have also engaged Dr. Robin
sons attention. He was puzzled for
good while as to the cause Of their
grunting, but now he thinks he has
discovered the real reason. The pigs
of to-day, he says, evidently grunt be-
cause their ancestors made their homes
in thick woods, and only by making
this sound could they keep track Of
each other and guard themselves
against going a.tray from the COM
mon berd. Commenting on this lat
ter explanation, scientist suggests
that DR.. Robinson might now do well
to spend some time IN trying to find
out why the horse neishs and why the
dog barks.-Nctc York HeraLd
