BISHOP BREwsTER's LOCAL FAME.

What the small boy knows sometimes
surprises his elders. For instance, when
one of President Roosevelt's boys en-
tered the public school in Washington
his teacher asked him the usual ques-
tons.
eFWfat is your name?" said she.
KERMIT Rooseve1t-K-E-R-M he
replied, spelling the name carefully.
''Who is your father?'
''He is IT., solemnly replied young
Roosevelt.
Some of the big politicians are begin
ming to discover that Kermit knew
what he was talking about. The knoWl
edge of young boy in Lakeville, Conn.,,
was not so f1attering 20 Bishop Brewster
as this. The bishop, who was formerly
rector of Grace church, in Brooklyn,
went to Lakeville the other Sunday to
confirm a class. Justice Jerome's sum
mer home is in that section Of Litch-
field county and everyone there knows
it, In the course of some remarks Bish-
op Brewster, they say, asked some OF
the younger Sunday school scholars
berignly:
"And who can tell me who Is the
bishop of Connecticut?'
A small boy raised his hand and snap
'sWho is it, my lad2'' asked Bishop
Brewster.

Uncle Sam is especially ricn in Alaskan
dolls. Some of them are of ivory, no
bigger than your thumb but the clothing
is made with the greatest care from the
softest sealskin, trimmed with beads and
edged with white hair from the leg of the
deer. Others are two or three feet in
height, and are carved from wood, and
tens, skin caps with ear flaps, and their
perfectly correct snowshoes. Then there
are the dolls of the Zuni and the Moaui
Indians Of Arizona and New Mexico.
These are a brilliant and cheerful gath
ering, and occupy a drawer all to them
selves Some are made Of wood and
others of baked clay and all are painted
real ilair, done up in funny little knots
above their ears, or in braids with feath-
ers and red flannel. One represents a
fire dancer. His body is painted black
and is spangled all over with glistenins
tinsel which makes him appear as If he
were covered with sparks.-St. Nicholas.

FURNACE PYRE
TEN MEN INCINERATED IN A PITTS
BURG FOUNDRY BY
SLIP
FLAME-WRAPPED IN MID-AIR
Accident to a wheeIbarrow Laden
With Ore Was the Primary
Cause of the Fearful
Accident.

PITTSBURG, Pa Dec. 19.-Ten men
were burned to death and four injured
by an explosion of gas at the Soho
furnace of Jones & Laughlin, limited,
on Second avenue, near Brady street, to-
night The explosion was caused by a
slip in the gas furnace, the gas and
flames belching upward through the bell
to where the men We're on the furnace
platform, eighty-five feet above the
ground.
There were nineteen men on the fur
mace when the explosion occurred. Fiji
teen of them were caught In the flames
Two of them escaped with slight in
juries. TIE other four were the regular
men employed as top filters, and escap-
ed without injury.
The explosion was caused by the gas
becoming encased in a crust of cinder
forming the bottom of the furnace. y
wheelbarrow containing ore had been
sent up to the men, and when they
went to dump it into the bell of the fur
mace they pushed it over too far, and
it rolled into the hopper. The barrow
weighed 900 pounds, and was too heavy
for the four men to raise The fifteen
laborers, all Bulgarians, were then sent
up to assist them.
Had it not been for the barrow acci-
dent no one would have been hurt, as
themselves at such times, as similar ex-
plosions are of frequent occurrence.
Horrible Sight for Spectators.
The most distressing feature Of the
disaster was the burning of Joseph
Frankowicz. He was seen by the thou
sands of people who were on their way
to work to run to the platform railing
and leap into the air. He was a mass
of flames as he whirled through the air.
He fell on the stock yard shed and lit
orally burned to death before the eyes
of the crowd, fifty feet below, who had
no way to reach him.
The residents of Second avenue who
saw the accident say it was too horri-
BILE to describe.
When the explosion occurred burning
heaps of cinders settled around the men
knee deep. Their shrieks were terrible,
and their frantic efforts to save them
selves were pitiful in the extreme.
General Manager j. B. Laughlin said
today that the accident was one of the
most disastrous that had ever occurred
in the history of the company.
1.-THE men seemed doomed to that aW-
full end,'' he said ''They had just start
ed to get the barrow out when the ex-
plosion took place. In another minute
they would have been away from the
place. The nature Of the explosion is
easily explained. Among furnace men 1t
is known as a slip BY this we mean
that the gas becomes encased by the
cinders and coke becoming gummed,
forming a crust in the furnace. The gas
accumulates, and then the pressure be-
comes so great that it forces itself
through the crust.

PASSING OF SPECTACLE FAKIRS'
HOUSTON'S RECENT MlD-WlNTER

"Store Bought Classes" However, Are
Still Assisting Their Wearers to
Ruin Their Eyesioht.

The recent Mid-Wntcr Carnival was de-
void Of many of the old-timc and WORKOUT
fakes, among the most noticeable Of which
was the spectacle faklr. The people III
general have attained their majority in this
particular matter and the faklrs best days
are over in eyeglasses, but stll there are
many who are wise enough to let the
faklr or peddler alone, but not enough so
to refrain from buying store glasses and
at the same time they do not seem to
realize that they are taking decisive
step Of running their eyes. The reporter
having secured several interviews from Or.
Seymour on matter pertaining to tue eyes,
called az his ofhce yesterday in quest Of an
other, but this time he only got the doctor
attention long enough TO express himself
on store bought glasses and their euects
on the eve.
People seem 10 think glasses are Ike
clothes, said DR.. Seymour, and II tAeE
are fairly comfortable and look Wen they
ask no further questions.
Looking back now to the time when quack
doctors and dentists spread misery ana DC
strurUou over the land. we wonder ut the
Ignorance or carelessness oil our fathers

thing Is done by people who buy spectacleS

a surprising number Of people buy their
glasses from vendors on the streets. They
get glasses for 80 cents which seem to
them Just as good as q pnir they would pay
$40 for having made on a specialists pre-
scrption. and they think they have sHyed
money. Glasses acquired in all sorts OF
WAYS by Inheritance or exchange from n
friend or even glasses found on the streets
are used to the detrment even 10 the de

Another way in which people damage
their eyes is through carelesSncss in trying
to remove dust or ciuders from them. They
try themselves, n friend tries a rub the
nearest drug store and the nearest opucan
is called on, all before a specialist is con
shifted The result Is that the eyehall IS
often badly rubbed and scrapcd, and IN
many instances permanent injury IS done
The glimpse the reporter obtnlned Of Drs.

was sufficient to inform him that nothing
