Europe's SmnIi Eirc Inas

Losses by fire in European cities are
less than one-tenth of those in the
cities here. though in Europe the Arc
departments. except in one or two in
stances. are almost insignificant ana
on pspal survey wholly inadequate
With Y population of 100000, Paris
for YEARS, had 4 FIRE loss less than Bos-
toms. Budapest. with Il larger popu-
lation than Boston. LOST less than
one-tenth the amount last year that
the Massachusetts, capital did.
Milan. with bali a million inhabi-
tants, loses on the average only $50
900 year, and the total damage by
fire in Venice. where 100000 people
live, was only about 500, 1000. London's
loss Is only about one-nfth that OF
New York.
II Is not that. the Ere departments
are so very efficient in any OF these
European cities but because the build
ings are planned on lines which rem
der them practically iireproof. Wood
plays some part in the construction OF
houses. hut brick and stone surround

shown that elaborate fire fghtirs

poIDT IL DEATH.

Men ia this age persuade themselves
that il is a sign of weak intellect to
believe IN the existence OF thing,
or believe that something tranrpired,
thc explanation of which carries one
away from the material plane of fact
What harm can come to the mind that
believes in the mysterious Tort that
which Is not tangible and visible? Does
such belief require a money sacrifice?
Does IL rob one OF any happiness?
Certainly II docs not: IL costs no
money TO believe in future life, nor
is IL the sign OF a weak intellect to
hold such belief. On the contrary.
il denotes a fine quality of mind to
hold on to belief in a future life,
II one believes from evidence, for the
basis Of such belief cannot rest In mere
declarations--in words. II is as nat
ural for the finely organized man. or
woman. to believe in and hope for con
timed life. as IL is for the child 10
look to its mother for protection. II
IS only the coayo grained. self salts
fied, who can l6ok .whb calm indiffer-
ence upon what may seem clear evil
dence of eternal annihilatlon. II is
my firm belief that those who claim
10. believe that life ends with the last
breath drawn into this mortal frame
are one Of two things, namely they
are either the bIindest of fools or else
they do not believe what they profess.
II they are positive that physical death
is death in the absolute sense they
are of all the blind. the blindest@ for
II what they claim be true. or II it
bs true that they believe it so. which
amounts To the same with them as
though it were true. it is wholly un-
reasonable for them To hang on to
life. and they prove themselves cruel
monsters not TO put their children to
death az the moment of birth. The
answer to this comes back. ut Is
natural for one to wish To hold on tu
life as long as he can" And this very
desire to hold on to life, is one of the
strong proofs OF its observation-disclosures
But so far as the desire being reason
for you holding on to and prolonginl
that which you believe to come TO an
absolute end at physical death. IL IL
no more of a reason than that OF the
desire OF the child, TO hold In Its hands
the iron that Is glowing with whit,
heat The believer is more sure OF con
tlnued life than the disbeliever Is o
absolute death, aud the fact Is proveT
in the desire OF both to live out thei
natural lives or years allotted TO ply

The price paid yesterday was exceed'
ed about eighteen months ago, when
a sum of 315 guineas was paid for an
other sample which also came from
France. but not from the Baron d
Hammonville's cabinet. There are
about seYenty-three eggs and eighty
stuffed specimens of the great aux

four duplicates from the Royal Col

one OF which subsequently again

From 30 guineas to 3l5 guineas-

the seventy-three eggs known To exist

I kinds OF eggs which are not better new
laid. as was discovered by the lady
who announced to Mr.. Stevens that
she had new laid" auk's egg. The
explanation was not that the extinct
bird had miraculously dropped an
egg. but that living lady had dropped
an aspirate.-London Times.
