about 60x100 feet in size. The walls
collapsed, falling in and imprisoning
the workmen under the floors and
roof escape being impossible for
those who were luckless enough to be
employed in this part OF the plant.
Some who had fallen near the edge
got out, badly scratched and burned.
The rescue work was difficult owing
to the immense amount OF bricks,
timbers and machinery piled on the
victims.
The fire had not been burning long
when Porter street was given up to
a procession of the dead and dying
All kinds of vehicles were pressed
into service, and the wounded were
carried on express wagons and any
thing which could be turned into a

ambulances were there and went

the vicinity turned out and minister

A Book Hunter. Worry.

The worry Of finding that book Is
incomplete is often to be expected.
Often most respectable looking books
have a page missing somewhere. One
cannot trust even folio that has been
connected with religious houses all it's
life. 1t may be invincibly bound in the
strongest calf; it may have passed all
it's quiet, unread days behind glass and
be as clean as on the day on which it
was issued, and yet page S41 may have
vanished.
We once knew man who had firm
beHef in the devil and for this reason:
He said that he could hardly count the
imperfect books by which he had been
misled in his time, and in nearly every
case these books had a highly respect
able past They had grown mellow in
monasteries or had been carefully tend
ed in great libraries, where they were
never touched except to be busted. 1t
seemed morally impossible that harm
could have come to these books, and
yet each one had a page missing some
where Therefore he was reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the devil
was in it. He supposed that when the
devil was in need of more quotations
he distracted page from some little
read book, choosing 1t both in order
that he might obtain a reputation for
wisdom and also that he might not be
found out
We do not uphold this theory, but we
do recommend the book hunter, so far
as possible, to collate every book of
any Importance which he may con-
template buying.-Macmillan's Maya

Pecu1inrities oil Asthma.

The peculiarities of asthma are we'll
known, and one New York woman
thinks that she has more than usual
reason to complain of the vagaries of
the disease. She had always lived In
the lower part of the city on one Of the
avenues distant from the two rivers
and had suffered in no unusual degree
from asthma when the weather was
not unfavorable. The doctor was not
consulted when her husband bought a
house in another part of the city, and
it is indeed doubtful if he could have
foreseen the effect upon her of living
In the new neighborhood.
1t took the sufferer only a few hours
to realize that 1t would be impossible
for her to live in the new house, which
was only short distance from the
North river Her discomfort became
SO great that she was compelled at the
end of week to give up all attempt to
reside there, and the house that had
been built with so much care and ex-
pense had to be abandoned.
Another example of the yagaries OF
asthma is to be found in the case OF a
New Yorker who is comfortable enough
in this city so long as he lives on the
upper stories of lofty hotel or other
residence building, but is in great dis
tress so soon as he is compelled to be
on terra firma.-New York Sun.

Mr.. jefferson invented the copying

a shaving brush, is more successful
than a sponge" He also sent a copy
ing press to the Marquis de Lafayette

ing chair, now a familiar and neces-
sary article of furniture In all offices
and counting rooms. The Federalist
newspapers used to call it Mr. Jeffer-
sons whirligig' and declared that he
had devised it so as to look all ways
at once" -Chicago Herald.

Doubled the Fee.

A clergyman who used to be pastor
of a church in Kansas City says that
on one occasion he had rather an anus
ing experience in marrying a young
couple in that city.
"The gentleman" said the clergy
man, twas a handsome, noble looking
young man and the bride to be more
than usually beautiful. 1t was plain to
be seen that the prospective groom
thought he had secured the one prize in
all the matrimonial market and was
correspondingly elated.
Gust before the ceremony the gen
tleman handed me the marriage license
to see that it was all right. Inside the
license there was crisp So note, plac-
ed there as the fee. The couple stood
I'D before the few witnesses in the par
lor, the ceremony was gone through
with, and they were pronounced hus-
band and wife, The first thing the new
husband did was to draw his wife to
him and imprint fond kiss on her
sweet lips 1t seemed to thrill him
with unexpected joy, for, Immediately
turning to me, he said, 'Parson, III be
switched If paid you enough for this
job and, pulling from his pocket an
other S. note. he thrust it into my
ands."-Baltimore Sun.

rwentv Lost cold nrines.

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
In various parts of the world Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost
There is one in the north of the
Transvaal, for instance, that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had, as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard a loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away APP
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district month later
to start work on the mine. But in
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the mine
has not been rediscoyered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when a prospector described gold
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out, with the discoverer Of
the mine as guide, but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.

The late D'Oyly Carte always safe

Swiss italian, and one day, having

Carte on Adelphia terrace and forgot
ten the time, he sent down his bench
man to learn the hour of the repast.

1t is interesting to recall that, just
as Edward VII of England chose his
second baptismal name as the one by
which he wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne, so like
wise his great-uncle, William Henry,
would have preferred to be known as
Henry TX One of the reasons for this
preference was the desire to establish
lawful right to title which had al
ready been arrogated by the cardinal
of York, the last of the Stuart pre-
tenders. When the question, however,
came up for discussion in the privy
council, the latter decided In favor Of
King William ~. This story was told
by the king himself to Miss Helen
Lloyd, the governess of his children.
He added that the privy council was
moved to this choice partly by fear Of
exciting the superstitious fears of the
populace, who still bore in their men,
DRY a prophecy dating from the seven
teenth century, which runs as follows:
Henry the Eighth pulled down monks and their
cells;
bells.
