Tribune readers
Distressing paragraphs have been
frequent in the papers since Christ
mas giving accounts of deaths and
injuries to litgle children and even
to grown persons by reason of their
clothes catching fire from the candles
on Christmas trees. These misiort-
unes are quite common at Christmas
time, and not few merry gatherings
to receive the bounties of Santa
Claus have been turned into mourn
ing by the dangerous candle on the
Christmas tree. These distressing
accidents might we'll suggest the
better safety OF emitting candles IN
decorating Christmas trees. IL Is
true that the spectacular effect OF IL
| Eliminating Christmas trees with
burning candles is pleasing and adds
| not a little 10 the enthusiasm OF the
occasion. But when we come TO
consider the danger and frequency
of painful accidents, it il doubtful
if the added beauty to the tree pays
for the risk that Is run. Especially
is there danger in so Illuminating
the larg, trees used at Sunday school
aud church gatherings, where many
articles uu the tree are exposed and
] many persons necessarily handle the
presents ou the trees. A much safer
plan. Oh the whole, is TO omit the H.
Illuminating feature.

White Man Turns Black.

Alexander Wertenen, who went to
Spencer, West Virginia, a few months ago
from Michigan, where he was employed in
a copper mine, has undergone NEST re-
markable change, which is puzzling all the
doctors, including the state experts at the
insane asylum there, says dispatch of the
18th instant Wertenen is employed at
the Kenosha tannery Monday morning
when he went to work he was blonde man
with an unusually fair skin; an hour later
his fellow. workmen noted perceptible
darkening of his complexion. By ten
- clock he was nearly black. Manager E.
G. Theirs noticed him about noon, by
which time he was dark chocolate color,
and ordered him home. Before night,
Wertenen was as black as coal from head
to foot, there being not spot where there
was an indication of his former color.
Doctors could offer no explanation. Wer-
tenen feels no illness, and all his organic
functions are apparently normal, except a
slight stomach trouble that he has had for
a year. Hi. hair and beard are still a
bright yellowish- sandy color, and the hairs
on his body and limbs retain their normal
color, the black being all in the skin. He
is SO, unmarried, and an American.
