WoMEN's ACTIONS AT A FIRE.
Sometimes They Are Queer, But Nc

Sometimes They Are Queer, But Nc
More So Than Those of Men.
Women always act queer at fires,
said Smith oracl.arly Smith is an
old bachelor, and naturally his judg-
ment on women is embittered
"They do, eh?" inquired Miss Jones,
who is so, unmarried, and naturally
prejudiced against bachelors.
Eyes, they do, said Smith firmly.
II shan't argue the question" said
Miss Jones, 'but I'll merely tell you
what came under my own eyes the last
time a fire was announced at this ho-
tel. You know the bellboy or the clerk
raises a cry of fire about every so
often. I'm an old boarder, and conse-
quently pay no attention to it. Well.
a few weeks ago, about 1 o'clock in the
morning, I heard a terrible yelling of

the corridor. Mr. Nicely, who room
at the end of the hall, came walkin
down in nightshirt and silk ha

assured me. Plenty of time to dress
A gentleman in No. 10 stepped out /,
the corridor and carefully hung h
dress suit on the chandelier, trousers,
coat, vest and tie. Then he wrapped
a blanket around him, seized his gold
headed cane and started down stairs.
The door opposite mine was open and
could see the flames shooting up past
the window. 1t was a real fire, al
though, as we know now, nothing
came of it. An old gentleman stood
before the glass putting the finishing
touches to his toilet. He was all
dressed save his necktie, and he
couldn't get that in bow to suit him.
Three times he tied it, united it, and
began over again. Then he walked off
and left his pocketbook on the dresser.
The old professor who is interested in
botany stopped me as I started down
stairs and asked me if this wouldn't
be terrible on the Japanese lilies.

shaking finger at some shrubs he had

KAFFIR FAIRY STORY.
Queer Experience OF Eenane and Dc.
Mama With Canniblls.


Here is a Kaffr fairy Story. It is
called "Demane and Demanza," and is
a very good example of the kind Of
story current among the dusIy boys"
Of South Africa.
Demane and Demanza are husband
and wife, living together in cave.
Demane one day goes out 10 hunt, but
tells his wife before starting that on
no account must she cook any food dur
ing his absence, lest the cannibals, at
tracted by the smell of the cooking,
find out the cave and carry her off and
eat her.
Demanza, directly her lord has gone.
commences to prepare a meal, with
the result that one of the cannibals
knocks at the "dcor" of the cave and
demands admission. This is refused
him. So the cannibal goes and con
suits with his tribesmen, and they
burn his throat which changes his
voice to a very smooth tone, like that
Of a girl. He returns to the cave and
is this time admitted. The cannibal
at once ties Demanza up in a sack he
away to his own habitation. Demane
returning home with a swarm of bees
he has found, discovers his wife's alb
duction. Forthwith he tracks the can
nibaI to his lair. The latter has left
Demanza tied up in the sack, while be
goes to fetch some relations to share
in the feast that is to follow. Sc
Demane releases his wife and substi
tutes in the sack the swarm of bees
and the husband and wife at once
make themselves scarce. The would
be feasters arrive and the Gambia
tells one of them to get something
good out of the sack.
He attempts this, but is stung fol
his pains; so mine host himself, tt
disproye the charge of practical joking
that has been unanimously preferred
goes to the sack, on opening which al
all the bees swarm out and sting hin
so numerically that he rushes from
the cave and jumps into a pond head
first, and sticks in the mud at the bot
tom. Thus he dies, and Demane ant
Demanza appropriate all his wealth
and live happy ever after.
There are plenty of other fairy
tales" equally strange, and nearly al
of them treat of the fruit of dis
obedience, virtue is it's own reward
and like matters; but they have NJ

HOT WEATHER DIET.
Meat Once a Day Is Amply Sufficient
For All,

Unless you are undergoing extraor-
binary physical fatigue, once day is
often enough to eat "red" meat in this
fiery weather, says the Philadelphia
Record. If you can arrange the family
meals to suit yourself, feed them on
plenty of poultry, fresh fish, fresh
vegetables, soups, and, above all,
plenty of fruit. The rcd-blooded
meats are not necessary as they seem
to be in cold weather. Lamb is better
than beef when the mercury is rang
ing about the century mark. If you
have beefsteak for luncheon or for din
ner that will suffice for the day. A
ripe peach or two, French rolls, good
Coffee and boiled egg, or fried
perch, makes a good breakfast, unless
you prefer cantaloupes to the peach,
reserving the latter for your dessert.
This suggestion is made for the bene-
sedentary lives, and who do not re-
quire the broiled chop and fried Pc.
tatoes which the man who works hard
with his muscles deserves to start the
day.
Beef eating is admirable in winter
autumn and spring, but in climate
such as Philadelphia yields in July
and August a very little red-blooded
meat is necessary in the daily diet
Beef-eating warns you up, and no
such treatment is required nowadays
Roast chicken, sea foods, roast ducks,
fruits in profusion, and the vegeta-
bles which grow above ground are pre-
ferable just now. Good ice cream is a
valuable addition to the daily diet.

MARRIAGE FEES.
ST. Joseph Weary of Being a Matri-
mortal Mecca.

ST. Joseph Weary of Being a Matri
mortal Mecca.
Cupid's reign in st. Joseph, Mich, is
nearing an end. For a year or more
he has been supreme in Chicagos
Michigan suburb, and during his term
on the throne 1000 couples have been
united in matrimony by the ministers
and justices of the peace of the little
town.
Now the residents of St. Joseph are
talking of securing the resembling of
the marriage laws Of the state of
Michigan, and the men who hope to
represent the people of st. Joseph in
Michigan state legislature may be in
duced to place an anti-quick marriage
law plank in their platform.
The revulsion of feeling on the part
of the people of st. Joseph is oc-
casioned by the belief that they have
bought gold brick When the mar
riage laws of Michigan were amended
in 1897, and when the excursion
steamers began to unload crowds of
prospective husbands and wives on
the Michigan shore, the people of ST.
Joseph we're jubilant. They welcomed
with open arms the runaway lovers
who had been barred from Milwau-
kee But it was a spirit of CONNER
cialism and not of romance by which
they were actuated.
The people of St. Joseph had be-
lieved that the newly-wedded pairs
would bring prosperity to their town.
