The OId-Fashioned Fire.

To steam heat the cities aspire
AS they shiver and shake in the cold;
But give me the old fashioned fire
The round. rosy backlog Of old,
The warmth and the light
OF its flame. leaping bright
The drowsy-heads huddled around It at
night!
In the darkness the winter wind signing
Made the flame take a ruddier glow;
The sparks up the broad chimney flying
Like witch-eyes that cleaned in the
snow!
Oh, the warmth and the light
OF those red flames so bright.
And the comfort and joy of the wild
winter night!
Far better that friendly old fire
Than building of simmering steam,
With never a flame to admire.
And never a beautiful dream
Oh, the love and the light
Where those flames danced so bright,
And the old-fashioned joy of the old
fashioned night.

professor and held out his hand.
The professor hesitated for a mo,

got 1t out in triumph.
The student was highly elated and
few minutes after said with proud
satisfaction to the professors secre,
tary:
The old boy seems to be getting
his memory back. He hesitated only
a minute before he called me by

Richard Elwell, who died in 1887, in

fathers reasons for refusing to admit
young Thomas Darlington into his

EARRINGS WORN FOR AGES.
These Ornaments Are the Survival Of
Very Ancient Custom.

Although few women in recent
years have been wearing earrings, the
fashion still survives, and at func-
tions of select society pendants OF
brilliants are still frequently seen. OF
all the ornaments used by human be-
ings earrings are probably the Oldest
so far as historical research has been
able to determine. They date from
the remotest antiquity, the earliest
mention of them being in Genesis in
the time of Jacob, about 1872 B. c.
This antiquity has been confirmed by
the finding of costly and elaborate
specimens in the Troad by DR.. Schlie-
mann, in Etruria by Castellani and
in Anglo-SaXon remains in England.
Their use at first was not ornamental,
but superstitious.
Amulets consisting of inscribed
precious stones on pieces of metal
were worn suspended from the neck
or more frequently from the ears.
Augustine speaks strongly against
earrings worn as amulets in his
time. 1t is a noteworthy fact that the
ears of the famous statue Venus de
Medici are bored, evidently for ear
rings.
The fashion of men wearing ear
rings, which is still common in Italy,
among the fishermen of Cornwall
England, with Portuguese sailors
and many others, is a survival of the
superstition that they were a protec-
ton against evil. Many Of the Ital-
ians in New York wear earrings for
this purpose.

Then P!att heard something else
a rush of men, spring, fierce oaths,
faint scream, two thuds, then a
long moment of silence.
The chill in his blood pulsed back

the little rock. Now his half.blinded

He knew that Bellows was lying on

could not see him. The fireman he

was hudded against the window of
the cab upon his side That he could

the link of cars. The great drivers

their revolution, then grasped the
rails, and No. 1877 shot on with
