FIRE AT INSANE HOSPITAL.

Totally Destroyed EARLY Yesterday.
ST. PETER, Mimi, March 7.-(special1
The st. Peter state insane hospital was
visited by a disastrous fire early this
morning, but one which, fortunately. was
unattended by any fatalities The fire
started In the drying room of the laundry
and spread rapidly to the adjacent build
ings, used respectively for the electric
lighting department and the sleeping
apartments of the women employees. The
latter had narrow escapes, leaving in
their nightclothes, and were hardly out

pied by the patients, was endangered.
and had this caught fire a frightful holo
caust must have occurred similar to the
terrible fire of 1890. But inasmuch as the
connecting building, the new kitchen, is
of absolutely fireproof construction, this
danger was averted. After working sew

Our endurance would be tested to
the breaking point were our only re-
source the brick tea Of Tibet, made
and favored after the true Tartar
recipe. This tea, for the convenience
of porterage on camels, is made up
in the form Of hard, solid, bricklike
Jumps, which are supposed to consist
of the stems and leaves of our ordinary
tea plant. But In the majority of cases
brick tea is merely the offscourings of
the tea plantation, together with dust
and adulteration of endless other
plants. There is little Of the crisp,
curly tea leaves to be found in these
Jumps.
When tea is to be made, pieces are
Clipped off the bricks and immersed
in boiling water. The result is dark,
strong favored liquid, with harsh, un-
pleasant taste. One merit alone it pos
sesses-it is undoubtedly stimulating.
The flavor of the tea is not improved
either to our taste by the additions to
it which the Tartar favors. Instead
of cream and sugar, mutton fat and
salt are usually considered the correct
things to add, and it can readily be
imagined that the beverage thus pro-
duced does not present any particular
attraction to Englishmen. - Good
Words.

A Clever Dog.

There is more in a dog than mans
philosophy accounts for. No theory
of instinct-sometimes defined as a
faculty prior to experience and inde-
pendent reason-will explain some ac-
tions of a clever dog whose case is
reported by correspondent OF the
London Spectator:
knew dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish In his mouth, to be
filled at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
Instead Of once.
The dog resented this, and. when told
to bring the dish, refused, and 1t could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex-
preston he went down the length of
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
deep down to avoid having to bring 1t
at an hour of which he did not ap-
prove.

The Peculiar Toucan.


The most amusing thing about that
peculiar bird the toucan was to see
him preparing to roost, and he began
quite early, while other birds were still
wide awake. The first thing was to
carefully cock up-for it was slow
and cautious proceeding-his absurd
little scut Of tail, which was only
about three or four inches long. This
must in some way have affected his
balance, for he never. moved on the
perch after the tail had been laid care
fully back. Then, later in the even
Ing, he gently turned the huge, un-
wieldy bill around by degrees until it,
too, was laid along his back and buried
in feathers in the usual bird fashion.
BY the way, l have always wonder
ed how and why the myth arose that
birds sleep with their heads under their
wings. A moments thought or Obser.
vation would show that it is quite as
impossible feat for bird as for a
human being.
However, the toucan's sleeping ar.
rapgements resulted in producing an
oval mass of feathers supported on one
leg, looking as unlike bird as it is
possible to imagine. When he was
ruthlessly awakened by sudden poke
or noise, which, grieve to state, was
often done-in my absence, needless to
say-I heard that he invariably tum-
bled down in a sprawling heap, being
unable to adjust the balance required
by the ponderous bill all in a moment.
