FIRE ALARM BOXES.
The System IN New York and Eow II
Is Operated.

The System IN New York and Eow It
Is Operated.
Greater New York is thickly studded
with lamppost fire alarm boxes. The
directions on each box, which is paint
ed red and is surmounted at night by
red light, are:
Turn handle to right until door
opens; then pull inside hook once and
shut the door," The opening Of the
box rings a large bell in the door,
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighborhood, especially the
nearest policeman, that the box has
been opened. The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
Of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or, as recently
happened, by raw maidservant who
wanted to mail letter. When the in
side lever is pulled down and let go, 1t
sets in molten q certain clockwork that
ticks out the number Of the box three
times in succession at headquarters IN
Sixty-seventh street. Not only that,
but it makes a record upon a tape,
showing the number Of the box and the
exact second at which the lever was
pulled.
A clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from drawer
q certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses Of the
district in which that frebox is situat-
ed. The average time required to Sc
lect this disk and send out the alarm is
ten seconds. There are always Two
clerks and sometimes three in this de-
partment. Not a word is spoken. An
outsider would hardly know that an
alarm is going out. In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

A JUGGLER'S TRICK.
Clever Feat OF Illusion Performed DS
an East Indian.

Clever Feat Of Illusion Performed oS
an East Indian.
The wonderful feats Of East Indian
iugglers have formed the theme OF
many a letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog youches.
While he was an officer on board a
P. and O. steamship two natives came
aboaru Madras, he says. They were
a juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed number Of minor
feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and piece Of sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed sailor to tie
the knot which bcInd him q fast pris-
oner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance,
and then carried on an animated con-
versation with his assistant, whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, to
the horror Of the passengers and crew,
it sank out Of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that it be raised. This was
done, and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squatting on the deck.
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize q murder had not been
committed.

FORGING A FASHION.
How Hats Were Introduced to the
South African SavaSes.

How Hats Were Introduced to the
South African Savages.
Andres De Villicrs, q Boer, was the
person who irst introduced hats among
the South African natives, says the
Hatters' Gazette, and profit, not phi
lanthropy, was his motive. One morn
ing many years ago he CHANGED in Port
Elizabeth to come across a conslgn-
ment of damaged hats offered for
mere song. He bought the whole lot,
packed them away in his wagon and
started for Kaffirland.
When he reached Temhuland, he IN
loaded his stock, opened his kegs Of liq-
uor, without which no trade was made
in those days, and began business. But
he found his venture likely to prove an
unproftable one. The natives did not
want hats. They wanted blankets and
beads and looking glasses and above
all liquor, but they looked askance at
hats. Then a bright idea came to An
dries. He wanted to introduce those
hats. He did introduce them. His SIM
pie expedient was to refuse to sell any
thing to Kaffir unless he bought
hat too. The Kafirs wanted his goods,
so they bought the hats.
When a Kafir buys anything, be
feels bound to make use Of it The ma
tives therefore donned their head gear
and returned to their kraals. Now ap-
peared the brilliancy Of the traders
idea. Fashion rules the world. 1t is as
strong in Africa as in America, and
when those who had stayed at home
saw the travellers return in all the glo-
ry Of this strange covering they felt
behindhand and old fashioned Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense. They paid An
dries visit, and his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands. The hats
were soon sold.
This happened some time ago, and
now every trading store keeps a supply
of hats constantly on hand. They are
said to be manufactured expressly for
the natives, and no one who glances at
the show will doubt it

Church and WorEmelr.

It would be an exaggeration to say
that all working people feel antago-
nistic toward the church. Their general
attitude is rather that Of Indifference.
The thinking poor are we'll enough
aware that there is nothing unnatural
in the situation and that if the tables
were so turned that world advantage
shifted to their side it would probably
remain unchanged. At times their feel
ing, especially toward the clergy, is Gu
riously sympathetic. Say" remarked
labor leader Of vivid mind to the
writer-"say, I'm awfully sorry for
ministers. Most Of them are real good
men. They know well enough what
Christ meant, and they'd like first rate
to preach if they dared. But, Lord,
how can they? They've got to draw
their salaries; they've got families to
support" All this quite without a
touch Of iroDy.-Vida D. Scudder in

A TRUE r-!EitD.
One OF the Kind That Gets Little
Recognition Here Below.

One OF the Kind That Gets Little
Recognition Here Below.
Did YOU ever know a hero real well?
I know at least one and quite intimate
". Who? am afraid you would hard
ly recognize his name, and besides II
would not be just right to give IL here.
He is only an old bachelor who works
in q shop. He has been at one bench
for something like-well, from this you
NAV Judge: When he began, he was
fresh from school. He lives in q little
frame house. with an absurd little
back yard hardly more than big enough
for the syringa bush and the ash bar
rel.
The first morning 1 started for the
shop he once told me, Il cut across
the back yard and climbed the fence.
I have been doing it ever since, and II
has been a long time" In the tiny
lawn is worn a deep footpath. The top
rail of the back fence is smoothly pol
ished. His feet wore the path. HIS
hands polished the rail. And all these
years he has worked at the same
bench, doing the same work.
Not that he lacks intelligence or that
he never had an ambition. Intelligence
he most certainly has, no mean lore OF
books and q wide, generous grasp OF
affairs and the drift Of things. AmDl-
ton he had, too, but that was before
his feet had worn path across the
back yard. I am quite sure that he
once loved. In fact, suspect that L
know the one he loved, and that she
loved him. But he never married. She
did. though she has been widowed Tor
q dozen years.
But why, you ask, with intelligence
and ambition, did he stick to MS
bench? In an upper room of his Little
cottage is window blind which is
never opened. Behind that blind, peer
ing out through the shutters with un-
recognizing gaze, sits one who bears
the outward form Of manhood, yet
lacks manhoods mental qualities. Inc
one behind the blind is his brother.
Downstairs, puttering feebly about and
speaking only in high, thin, querulous
tones, is a wan and bent old woman
his mother. For the sake Of these two
he has worn the path in the lawn; for
them he put away ambition; for them
he stifed the love that once stirred
within him.
He is past middle age now, thin as to
hair, stopped as to shoulders. Yet IS
there tenderness ;p his voice, a cheer,
full sweetness in LIS smile, a patient
resignation in his pale blue eyes, that
make his manner of such mild gentle
ness as you might expect in saint.
From him comes never word OF COM
plant; about him is no trace Of dis
appointment, no hint Of bitterness.
And so, though few know his name,
though he wears no glittering gauds,
though he goes his way unhampereo
by pomp or circumstance and all un-
recognized by church CT state, can
not help but count him one OF earths S
true heroes. Don't you?-SeWell Foro

He VIII Fly the Red Signal NoSe
Quickly Than Woman.

Quickly I0SN z w oAAN-~A'
"If there is any one thing that makes
me want to get up and talk right out
in meeting it is to hear it SAID OF
man that he bushes like a woman
said the social philosopher to repre-
sentative of the New York Times.
How women ever gained the repu-
tation of having run up a corner II
bushes is beyond my comprehension.
The report does her grave injustice,
for as q matter of fact she not only has
no monopoly in bushes, but does not
make use Of the share that properly
belongs to her. There are some wo-
men, Of course, who blush If you even
blink an eyelid in their direction, but
as a general thing men blush much
more readily and more violently than
women.
''This is not random statement that
I am making for the purpose Of hear
ing myself talk, but sober deduction
founded on careful observation. For
years / have made it point to study
the sexes in moments Of embarrass-
ment, and the statistics I have jotted
down prove that in nine cases out Of
ten the average man will fly the red
signal Of distress much more quickly
than the average woman. This holds
good in all sorts Of situations.
"Crack a joke at mans expense,
he bushes; ply him vlth awkward
questions, he bushes; subject him to
some humiliation or let some ludicrous
accident befall him in public, and he
straightway rivals the boiled lobster
in hue. 4 woman may redden slightly
under the same circumstances, but. her
blush is diluted and perfunctory COM
pared with the brilliant, sunlit glow
that sufuses the countenance Of man.
81 don't attempt to explain the phe-
nomenon-physiologists and moralists
may do that if they can-but merely
give the facts for what they are worth
in the hope that the next time a story
writer has crop of bushes to dispose
Of he will ring a few changes on the
old phrase that has done duty for gen.
erations and say Of the heroine that
she sblushed like a man."

CHOATE'S ADVICE.
It Led q Choleric Client Into the
Paths of Peace.


Il seems always to have lain within
the power of the distinguished lawyer
and humorist, Rufus Choate, to lead
a choleric client from ways Of anger
into the paths Of peace. Just before
the war q southern gentleman was
dining with a friend in one Of the best
hotels Of Boston. He was Of French
creole extraction, and his name was
Delacour, says a writer in Lippincotts
Magazine. The waiter was O colored
man, and the southerner gave his or
ders in a very domineering fashion,
finding fault freely with what was put
before him and the way in which it
was served. Finally the waiter became
incensed and told Mr.. Delacour to go
to q place warm and remote. The lat
ter sprang furiousiy to his feet and
would have shot the offender dead if
he had not been restrained by his
wiser friend, who said:
you can't do that sort Of thing here.
You will have to remember where you
are"
do you suppose that l am going to
put up with such insolence and not
be revenged?" said the enraged man.
Certainly not But do it by process
of law"
The landlord was first interviewed
and the waiter discharged. That was
not sufficient to satisfy the wounded
feelings Of Mr.. Delacour. He asked
who was the best lawyer in the city
and was told it was Rufus Choate.
Making his way to his office, he said:
"Mr. Choate, I want to engage you
in a case. What will your retaining
fee be-"
about $50"
The check was made out and handed
over.
Now" said the lawyer, what are
the facts Of the case?
He was told. Said Mr. Choate
thoughtfully:
II know the United States law on
the subject well, and I know the law
Of the commonwealth Of Massachu-
setts, and I can assure you, sir, that
there is no power on earth strong
enough to force you to go to that
place if you don't want to go. And if
I were you I wouldn't"
WELL" said the southerner, accept
ing the situation, 81 think I'll take your
advice" And they parted good friends.

Moral Suasioo and q Strap.
"She seems to have abandoned her

"She has?"
"How did it happen?'

bringing about the change. You see,
she has no children Of her own, and
grew weary Of her constant preaching
and theorizing. so loaned her our Will

Loaned her your boy?" -
'ePrecisely. She was to have him a
week on her solemn promise to confine
herself entirely to moral suasion."
'Did she keep her promise?'
"She did, but at the expiration Of the
week she came to me with tears in her
eyes and pleaded for permission to
whale him just once."-New York Mall
