1t is said that the late Professor
TAFT of Edinburgh university, in obed-
fence to an oath that he would cut up
the first hat he found lying on his
professional desk, once destroyed his
own headgear. He had been annoyed
by the students leaving their hats
there, and on this historic occasion
one of them placed Tait's own hat
there.
During recent thunder storm at
Paterson, N. j., Mrs. William Dono-
hue jumped out of bed and getting
what she supposed was bottle OF
holy water, sprinkled the sleeping
members of Her family. When they
awoke in the morning and saw them
selves in a mirror they were startled
by their streaked faces. The woman.
in the dark, had picked up BY mistake
bottle of bluing.
One day, before his marriage, the
Rev. Sydney Smith ran into the room
where his fiancee was, flung into her
lap six small teaspoons, which, from
much wear, had become the ghosts of
their former Selves" and said:
There, Kate, you lucky girl, | give
you all my fortune" He gave her,
however, what he did not mention, his
fine character and great talent, and
in every way proved himself an excel
lent husband.
Recently an old Cornishwoman
asked her parish priest to read to her
n letter from her son who had left
her many years ago, and was living in
| New England. The writer's ortho-
graphy was doubtful. but the con-
| scientious vicar did his best ~ de-
cipher the words. 81 caanot tell you

A veritable 'quick luncheon" it is
said is to be had at a restaurant in
Paris, where dinner of several
courses, composed of concentrated
food in the form of tablets, can be
consumed in few minutes. The en-
tire meal, indeed, can be carried about
in the vest pocket or pocketbook.

agree that when pig gets an apple
containing a worm there is no danger
that the worm will cause any damage
to the future apple crop. But as an
insect destroyer the pig is nowhere
with the sheep. The trouble with the
pig is that ii Is too much like a man;
when 1t lies down and goes to sleep
1t is oblivious OF all Its surroundings.
II sleeps just as soundly and SHORES
Just as loud as its human cousin, and
when an apple drops 1t doesn't hear It
or go for 1t until its sleep Is out. The
instinct of the worm teaches 1t to get
out OF the apple as quickly as possible
after 1t drops. have stood and
watched an apple after 1t struck the
ground. and seen the worm come hust-
ling out In hurry and go for some Sc
cure place. and before the pig gets the
apple the worm Is in some safe hiding
place. Not so with the sheep; they
never sleep SO soundly but they will
hear an apple falling rods away, and
they are up and there before the worm
can get out, and that worm Is travel
ing to the bourn whence no worm ever
comes back to curse the apple grower.

hundred times better.--Rural New

SEVEN PERSONS PERISH
BY FIRE IN CHICAGO

Scattered among the embers were
found the charred remains of the vic
tins. The bodies were burned beyond
recognition and were idanti6sd in vari-
GUS ways.
The train crew, who live at Elkhart,
Ind. are being held without bail await
ing the verdict OF coroncr's inquest
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
building was an old one, built of wood,
and burned SO rapidly that all avenues
of escape by stairways were cut off be-
fote the occupants were aware of the
fire.
officials of the Lake Shore and Mi
chigan Southern Railway declare that
the blocking lasted but few minutes
and that the members of the train crew
did everything in their power to make
way for the fire engines. Conductor
Brown, who was arrested, claims one of
the hremen uncoupled the air brakes and
the engineer was unable to move the
train.

FIVE MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Seven Others Received Injuries and Another
Is Missing

South McAlester, l. T. Especially -
An explosion OF gas occurred in the
mine Of the McAlester Coal Company,
at Anderson, by which FIVE men lost
their lives, seven were injured, and an
other is reported missing.
The explosion occurred at about o.45
o'clock a. III. About IFS men were al
work in the mine at the time. 1t is NOT
definitely known how the gas lgnlted'
but it is probable that some OF the men
fired a shot that the shot frers had not
fired. The shot hrers enter the mine
in the evening after the miners leave
and fire all the shots or blasts that. the
miners have prepared. Sometimes shots
are not well prepared, and the shot mr.
ers refuse to fire them. Occasionally
in these cases the men afterward fire the
shots themselves, although this is
against the rules OF the mine. 1t is
thought that this was done by some OF
the men who were afterward killed or
injured by the explosion. The dead are
all asphyxiated.

Washington (SpeciaD The United

There is a probability that this great
sum will be diverted to our territories

in the course of time. All of these
islands are said to possess soil suitable
for growing high grades of coffee.
AS stated, the United States is the
greatest consumer. Compared with other
countries the per capita consumption in

There are many rumors OF loss OF
life, but as every undertaken in the city

is persistently reiterated is to the effect
that party OF men and women, driven
to the docks by the fire, were compelled
to jump into the water, and tina: several
OF them were drowned. Mrs Hogan,
negro woman, was burned in her
house, and her charrcd remains were

A committee was appointed at a

governors, OF various States to send all
tents they can spare to Jacksonville. 1t
will be weeks before anytfe.g like per
mancnt shelter can be provided for the
homeless, and Jacksonville for some
time to come will be city of tents.
The relief fund raised by the citizens
of Jacksonville amounts to $4,000.
This was augmented by telegram from
the Armour Company at Chicago in
structing Mayor Bowden to draw $1,000;
Other subscriptions are being received
from many places. The city OF Jack
sonville has not yet made an official ap-
peal for aid. There seems to be some
objection to this, but it is based mainly
on the assertion by many leading cltl-
zens that Jacksonville and Florida can
meet the emergency and care Tor Its
own.
