ley, nor did / at any time attempt to
get over into the east wing Of the
building. 1t was on that side that the
flames were fiercest, and the elevator
shaft and stairway between that wing
and the main building were roaring
like furnace. Suddenly the halls be-
; gan to fill with firemen in long coats
| and helmets, some with axes and 9TH
ers dragging up hose.
There seemed to be nothing more for
me to do, SO / ran down the main
stairway and out into the street, where
a great crowd was assembled. I no.
ticed that their faces were turned to-
ward the east wing, and, as instinct
lively glanced in that direction, re-
membered Dawley and the man Of his
fearsome dream.
The man was on his way-a huge
bulk of a fireman, running up the long
ladder that had been hoisted from the
wagon and now rested against the
wall, just below the window of Daw-
ley's room.
But was it possible that he still slept
through all this uproar and the glare
of the fame, and the odor Of burn
ing wood? Surely, he must be asleep,
else he would have appeared at the
window. Then it suddenly flashed in
to my mind what was the meaning of
the white skin and sunken eyes-a mar
cotic! Without doubt, he was still
sleeping.
The fireman made his way through

swung into the open window. Streams
of water played upon the flames be-
meath him, to protect his retreat. Two
other men ran up the ladder, and had
just reached the top, when he re-
turned to the window, carrying hui
man figure wrapped in blanket. The
others assisted him, and they made
their way slowly down the ladder
again.
Overcome by the smoke" said q
man standing near me. But noticed
that no smoke came out Of the open
window.
1 ran forward to pile of mattresses
| and bed clothes that had been carried
out from the hotel, and arranged a
place for him to be laid. The call
for a doctor flew along the line Of
spectators, and presently one came
running. 1 asked the fireman what
had happened.
"he was sound asleep when I en-
tered the room through the window"
he said. 81 had to shake him hard
to wake him up. He just stared at me
moment. and said. .Ah! You have
come and then his face turned kind
of black, and his jaw dropped, and
he went into a dead faint"

he rose from STOPPING over the pros
trate figure.

How Nations Sleen.

As a man spends on an average one
third Of his life in bed, it is not won
derful that care, expense, and trouble
are expended on his sleeping place. In
this country the unhealthy feather bed
is being driven out by the healthier
ms ttress. French beds are noted for
their hardness, and German beds are
so ridiculously short that English visit
ors are often much too big for them.
Many Norwegian beds are made to
pull out from recesses. The hammock
rules in South and Central America.
The Indians in Guiana plait most
beautiful hammocks out of grass,
which they dye prettily. Japanese lie
upon mating laid on the floor, with a
stiff, uncomfortable wooden head-rest.
1t would take an American years to
get accustomed to such bed of tor
ture The Chinese use low bedsteads,
often elaborately carved, but their
only mattresses and coverlets are
made of mating. In winter they put
on heavy clothes wadded with cotton,
in which they sleep. OF all people the
easiest to suit in the way of sleeping
quarters are negroes. An African ne
gro, like a wild animal, can curl up
anywhere.

Indian Smoke SIGNALS.

The traveller On the American plains
soon learned the significance of the
spires of smoke that he sometimes saw
rising from a distant ridge or hill, and
that he might see answered from q
different direction. 1t was the signal
talk of the Indians across miles Of in
tervening ground-a signal used in
rallying the warriors for an attack, or
warning them for q retreat II that
seemed advisable. The Indian had a
way Of sending up the smoke in rings
or puffs, knowing that such a smoke
column would at once be noticed and
understood as a signal, and not mis-
taken for the smoke of some camp
fire. He made the rings by repeatedly
covering the little fire with his blan-
ket. The column of ascending smoke
rings said to every Indian within thir-
ty miles, "Look out, there is an enemy
neary' Three columns close together
meant danger One column merely
meant attention. Two meant Camp
at this place" To any one who has
travelled the plains the usefulness Of
this long-distance telephone is at once
apparent. Sometimes at night the
settler or the traveller saw fiery lines
crossing the sky, shooting up and fall
ing. He might guess that thees were
signals of the Indians, but unless he
were experienced he might not be
able to interpret the signals. One fire
arrow, an arrow prepared by treating
the head Of the shaft with gunpowder
and fine bark, meant the same as the
column of smoke puffs-"An enemy is
near" Two arrows meant Danger"
Three arrows said imperatiyely, This
danger is great" Several arrows said.
"The enemy are too many for u.s."

EPITAPHS IN NEW ENGLAND.
O1d-Time Ways of Taking Leave of
the Proud World.

ShS ouA w oAAA
Among those time-worn burying
grounds in which New England is so
rich are many doggerel mementoes of
the departed which, but for the solem-
nifty of death in which they are en-
shrouded, would partake of the farci-
cal. In an obscure corner Of York's
| ancient cemetery is an epitaph which
quite evidently was not dictated by the
occupant. of the grave which the stone
marks, for it thus memorializes the
departed:
Here lies the body of Jonathan Drew,
Who cheated all he ever knew.
His Maker he'd have cheated, too,
But that his God he never knew.
Here is one worthy of emblazonment
for the warning Of the indiscreet:
Emma, daughter Of Abraham and Ma
tilda Cox, and wife of Theodore Shall
len, died July 8, 1S47, aged 26 years,
leaving five children; married too
young against her fathers will. Sim

surgeon on the parade ground. The

recognizing the face, stopped. ''How's
the throat?' he asked pleasantly. TITS

Citations of the names Of some persons
Of renown. A. T. Quiller- Couch sounds

sounded in the word root. Jerome K.
Jerome accents the first syllable of his
last name; he pronounces it to rhyme
with tear 'em. In the name of Robert
Louis Stevenson the Louis Is pro-
nounced as though it were spelled
Lewis. Sir Walter Besant's last name
has it's first syllable accented, and
rhymes with pleasant. The poet Rich

sounded so as to rhyme with dove
The name Of Andrew Carnegie is ac-
cented on the second syllable; it should
