The Fire Gods Wrath .
London Daily Chronicle.

London Daily Chronicle.
 A curious story comes to us from the suburbs. resident m the near neigh. borhood of London has a museum in his house, in which the principal curiosity is a fire-god, which has been worshipped for many centuries In an Indian temple. Once, when the owner of the house took a party of people to look at the museum, he proposed in fun that they should all kow-tow to the image. This they all laughingly consented to do all except two ladies, who declared 1t was wicked. The fire god god was revenged within two months. One of the ladies had her house burned to the ground the week after, and the other one (on a later dats) fell backwards into the fire and sus- tained some terrible burns. We give the tale without comments, only commencing 1t to the attention of MT. Antsey.
 Instead of improving with age, some wine turns to vinegar. It is much the same with some people.

FLOOD OVER.
Alabama is Falling and Danger

 Even though all danger from the floods in this section Is about over, yet the riv- CTS are still high enough to be matter of considerable interest.
 Yesterdays reports to the Weather Bu- reau show the river as falling steadily al Montgomery and all points above. Fhe stage here then was E.S feet, a fall of or foot in twenty-four hours. It is ex- pected this rate of fall will be much ac- celerated today.
 At Selma 1t was still rising slowly yes terday morning then standing at 50.2 feet at that place, though it is expected 1t will have begun to fall there by to- night or tomorrow morning.

SEVERAL years ago suggestion was
made to President Eliot of Harvard that,
inasmuch as the first thing young man
ordinarily did on graduating from col
lege was to choose his life-work, it was
important that each student should
have presented to him thorough dis
cussion as to the advantages, disadvant-
ages and temptations of each of the lead
ing professions, so that in determining
his life work he might act with the full
est knowledge attainable. The Cosmo-
politan has begun this discussion in it's
January issue by taking up the legal
profession. Besides pointing out what
the young man has to encounter in
entering upon lawyers career,
The Cosmopolitan considers at length
the revolution which has taken place in
the legal profession because of the reor-
ganization of business in great aggrega-
tons like U. S. Steel Corporation, and
modern business interests, such as trust
companies, title and guarantee compan-
les, and fidelity insurance companies !

THpp price of oil has gone up again,
and hard times are staring the foolish
virgins in the face. Evidently young
Mr.. Rockefeller knew what he was talk
ing about few weeks ago when hetola
his Bible class that they should put oil
in their lamps. 1t appears that Mr..
Rockefeller has been teaching Bible
class so long that he has fallen into the
habit of speaking in parable and meta
phor, and while the class thought that
he was merely explaining the parable of
the wise and foolish virgins, he was in
reality giving the members quiet tip
in oil. Too late, says Roswell Field in
the Chicago Post, they bitterly appreci-
ate their mistake and wall at their care
lessness. The next time Mr. Rockefeller
casually alludes to transactions in oil at
the Sunday school he will talk to an
alert and attentive class.

ALTHOUGH matters are progressing
favorably toward settlement by arbi-
tration of the Venezuelan difficulty,
Pres. Castro finds himself face to face
with a crisis at home which will not so
easily be passed as the settlement of the
claims of the powers. First of all his
national treasury is on the verge of
bankruptcy, there remaining only
enough to keep his troops in the field for
a very limited time. Then the oppres-
sion of the European powers has en-
boldened the rebels to renewed activity
and they are gradually but surely draw

WHEN the Madison-J GAINESVILLE electric
road is built, or very soon thereafter, it
may be possible for a person to go by
trolley from the Wisconsin capitol to
Toledo, Ohio. Ii the plans that have
been mapped out are carried into effect
during this year a man may at least
travel by trolley line from GAINESVILLE to
Fort Wayne, Ind. At any rate two big
electric systems that are growing in two
states promise to be joined in the near
future, and Chicago will be connected
with network of electric lines on both
sides OF Lake Michigan. The progress
made during the last year in building in
terurban roads has escaped the attention
of most people. Within that time Chi
~cago has reached out to the Fox river
with one of the finest third rail systems
in this country. The line already con-
meets Aurora, Batavia and Wheaton and
will soon be to Elgin. This line con-
meets the Elgin, Aurora & Southern at
both Aurora and Batavia, thus reaching
as far south as Yorkville and up the Fox
river as far as Carpentersville. These
roads, which practically belong to the
same system, connect the finest section
of the Fox valley with Chicago. The
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric line is
rapidly closing the gaps in the main line
between Chicago and Milwaukee, and
during the last summer it built new
line from Lake Forest TO Libertyville.
and this will be extended to Fox Lake,
One of the greatest accomplishments OF
the year in the construction of electric
lines was the building and placing in
operation of the new line between Rock
ford and GAINESVILLE. The same company
is receiving the steel to complete the
projected line from Freeport to Rock
ford. -MadisonED Democrat.

AFTER the first of January the soda
water dispenser who serves ''claret" soda
or other drinks which contain distilled
spirits will be placed under special tax
rate of retail liquor dealers. Six dollars
per year is the amount of the special tax
and the order for it's collection has been
issued by the Internal Revenue depart
ment. The collection will be made early
in the year, the new ruling going into
effect on the first of January. This is
the first time tax has been required of
soda dealers, although the matter has
been up before, and two years ago the
treasury department ruled against a tax.

IT IS gratifying to learn that the fire
losses in the United States and Canada
were about 100000 less during the
year 1902 than in 1901. Let us hope last
year has seen the tide of these losses
turn in the other direction. For a good
many years they have been on the in
crease with an ever-sweling volume,
and it was feared this growing would
never run in the reverse direction. The
