THE FIRE CROWD.
AS a Rule 1t Likes u Big Blaze and
Crashing Walls.

'"There is one curious thing connect
ed with fires,' said a thoughtful man.
land that is the fact that while the
estimate and while men and women
have all kinds of admiration for these
brave fellows they yet want to see
them get the worst of it in the tight
against the flames 1t is an interesting
fact that the average man and woman
are not at all anxious to see the tiremen
get the fire under control. They would
much rather see the flames spread I'M
til the affair developed into an i'm
mense Indignation. Mind you, the
trait is not at all vicious. There is no
malice in it, 1t is simply the love of
excitement and adventure, things that
are so deep rooted in human nature
that we may not control them at Will.
Besides, we want to develop our he
roes to the limit. We want our fire
men to fight good fight against long
odds and under great difficulties. We
cannot quarrel with this feeling i'll the
human makeup. After all, it is what
one may call the poetry of human ma
ture, and without it this ole system of
ours would be dull and prosaic indeed.
OF course, you will always find few
persons around a fire who are directly
concerned in the fight the firemen are
making. They want to see the flames
put out In the case of some of the
spectators it means bread and meat.
1t means the loss Of position or may
be the loss of home. But 1 was speak
ing of the vast majority of men and
women who gather to witness Il fire.
The fire is the thing with them. They
want to see a big blaze and hear the
crash of the walls and all that sort of
thing. Did you ever take the trouble
to analyZe a fire crowd? In the first
place an alarm of fire will draw a
world. Whenever the bells begin to
clang and the engines go rushing down
the street you will see men, women and
children rushing this way and that in
order to see as much as may be seen
of the fire and fire fighters. The hour
of day or night does not make so much
difference. The crowd will get there
in some way and for some reason,
though the great majority of the per
sons have no sort of interest other than
idle curiosity. Once on hand, they
want to sec a good fire, and that's why
l say they want to see the flames get
the best of the firemen. They will go
away and talk about what game fight
the fire laddies made. Human nature
is curious thing, is it notY'-New Or

SAMURAi AND JlU-JITSU.
The Most Wonderful System of Ath.
letics In the World.

More than $500 years ago there
sprang into existence in Japan an or
der OF knights who were known as the
samurai. To them was impaired all
the learning, the polite breeding and
the forms of superiority that mark the
gentleman. They were skilled in arms
and versed in the arts of war, for they
were the emperors fighting men, and
none but they were allowed to bear
arms.
AS there could not always be war on
hand, and as it was considered be-
meath the dignity of the Samural to go
into any ordinary callings, it came
about naturally that these little knights
found much idle time on their hands.
Being men of war, they turned their
attention to athletic feats.
One among the samurai conceived
the idea of learning by practice the
location of every sensitive nerve and
muscle in the body. After that he dis
covered all the Joints of the bones that
could be seized in such way as to
give momentary power over the mus
cles of an adversary. He practiced
with his fellow samurai, and thus by
degrees was developed the most Won
derful system of athletics known in
the world
The Japanese call this work jiu-jitsu.
The deft pressures applied in the prac-
tice of jiu-jitsu produce only momen-
tary pain, but do not really injure the
muscles or nerves. In all other things
the Japanese are the most polite peO-
pie in the world. So it follows that
even in their fighting they have de-
veloped humane yet effective method
of self defense. They do not strike out
with the clinched fist and seek to
bruise, as do the Anglo-Saxons in their
boxing contests.
A knowledge Of jiu-jitsu enables one
almost ins tantly to convince his oppO-
nent that it is useless to fight. There
are now schools OF jiu-jitsu everywhere
in Japan. Every soldier, sailor and
policeman is obliged to perfect himself
in the system. A Japanese policeman,
possessed of the art, has been known
single handed to reduce to submission
and to take to the police station four
sturdy sailors of a foreign Asiatic
sQuadron.-St. Nicholas.

Hidden Mater SUPPLY.

The investigation of a neglected
spring or rivulet may bring 10 light a
valuable supply of water for gardening
or domestic purposes. A surprising
quantity is often Obtainable by in
stating a ram at some seemingly in

cause the first expense is the last there
being no cost of maintenance, and it is
satisfactory, because the ram reqi res

The difference between apple sauce

moderate oven is so great that one
could easily believe that different fruits

fully followed, produces a delicious re-

strong preference for one or the other,
TO my mind it is difficult to decide
which is the better way. Therefore it
rs Well to use both methods, cooking

Unfortunate Slip.

DR. Madison T. Peters tells of a
ludicrous remark made by a young man
just about ready to graduate into the
ministry. The youthful divine was
called upon to address the inmates Of
penitentiary on an occasion when
the prisoners were assembled.
When he looked down from his pull
pit at the depraved and desperate
looking characters in the congregation
the young parson experienced quite a
turn. Surely he would find it difficult
to say anything that would impress
such an audience. He entirely forgot,
in that instant, all the fine sentiments
he had prepared. He cleared his
throat once-then again and again.
Finally he spoke, but instead of the
fine address he had hoped to make the
best he could stammer forth was:
"Ah, my friends, l am indeed hap
ply to see so many of you mere this

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.
Brains and Good Department a Win
Ming Combination.

The value of brains III business can
not be overestimated, Of course; but
neither can the value of manners.
Don't make the error of supposing that
brains are everything. You may have
the best set of brains in the town, but
if you haven't the manners of gentle
man nobody is going to appreciate
you. Your manner is the outward in
dication of what you are within in the
estimate of most people, and if the
manner is disagreeable few will take
the trouble to examine into you any
further.
The consensus Of general opinion IS
that the man who goes about with
porcupine quills as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about Did
YOU never notice that the men who en-
nlov large forces of intelligent people
look at an applicant closely, ask few
seemingly unimpOrtant questions and
promptly employ or dismiss him? They
don't sound his brain depth; they don't
obtain his biography; they don't inquire
into his social standing; they size him
mp from his manners, and if he is brass
on the surface they don't look for gold
within.
The employer knows that if an appli-
cants manner strikes him favorably it
will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes in contact in his work.
And nobody knows better than a big
business man that favorable first i'm
preston means half the sale. People are
apt to think that if there is any place
where manners are of little consequence
it is in business, where cold calculation
SO largely takes the place OF feeling.
But the truth is that nowhere else are
manners of such Importance as in eT-
eryday dealings. There is no capital
ard equipment any young man ca7
have that will pay him better than
good manners. There is no possible
calling for which this does not better
st him. If he has brains the world
owes him something, but unless he has
good manners he will have hard time
collecting it-Kansas City World.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and

sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,

THE CAVE OF GHOSTS.
This Is One of the Wonder Places of
New South Wales.

One of the curiOsities of Oakley
creek, n. S. W., is a cave which very
few people care to enter. 1t is of the
usual order of stalactite and stalag-
mite shapes and figures, but in order
to get inside ii the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through a
narrow opening and grope his way in
the inky darkness for few yards till
he can stand erect and light torch.
AS soon as he has done this he sees
family the weird shapes assumed by
the water dripping from the limestone
and he hears a whirring noise He
feels inclined to make his exit at once,
but he hears something moving all
round him, and presently something
touches him.
He concludes that there are uncanny
spirits about, and this sensation is null
+'plied many times in intensity when
on turning to retrace his steps he finds
himself confronted by tall, ghostly
figure.
If the visitor has a strong nerve OF
has been forewarned, which is not al
ways the case, he recognizes that the
ghostly figure is a senseless block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone,
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part of the cave which
no man has dared to explore. 1t is
called the blowhole. One adventurous
visitor was about to squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when it
occurred to him to throw stone
through. He did SO, listening for the
stone to touch bottom, and the dull
sound that finally reached him con-
WINGED him that there was a sheer
drop of 200 feet on the other side of
the blowhole.,

A WHISTLER PICTURE.
The Dramatic Manner of Its Finish
and an Anticlimax.


Whistler was one day visited by q
foreign artist, an old acquaintance,
with whom Whistler had not as yet
uuarreled. He was received with gen
uine cordiality, and, artist-like, he ran
round the studio looking at everything.
One small picture seemed to charm him
especially, and he said, "Now that is
one of your good ones" Don't look at
il, dear boy" said Whistler airily, its
not finished" FINISHED" said the
visitor why, it is the most carefully
finished picture of yours that | have
ever SEEM Don't look at it!' per-
sisted Whistler 'You are doing in
justice to yourself, you are doing in
Justice to my picture, and you are do
ing injustice to mel" The visitor looked
bewidered, when Whistler, in a the
atrical tone, cried out: ''Stop! I'll finish
it nowr' Then he procured very
small cancels hair brush, fixed it on a
long and slender handle, mixed little
speck Of paint on his palette, dipped
the tip Of his brush into it, and then,
standing OF from his picture and with
the action Of fencer with his rapier,
be lunged forward and touched the
picture in one spot with his pigment.
"Now it's finished" said he. Now you
may look at it." This was all highly
dramatic and indeed very we'll acted.
but, as III the case of some stage plays,
the final act Of Whistler's performance
proved to be an anticlimax. The for
eign artist took his leave, but, finding
that he had left his umbrella behind
him, called for it next day. The sery-
ant recognizing him, told him that Mr..
Whistler had gone out for the day, but
invited him to go to the studio and
seek his umbrella He went there and
found it, but also took the opportunity
of having one more look at the picture
which had been finished for his Spe
cial benefit the day before, and then
be saw that the little dab Of wet paint
which Whistler had so dramatically
put on he had afterWard scrupulously
wiped off again.-F'rederick Keppel in
