VALUABLE FOR FIRE FIGHTERS.
Portable Breathing Apparatus an In
vention of Much Merit

NS'Aion OF muCH "cTV.
In Europe respiratory and life
saving apparatus has been used with
considerable success by miners, fire
men and others, who are required to
per:trate mines or apartments that
are filled with Smoke or unbreathable
garns, especially after accidents such
-as explosions. With this apparatus
sufficient air and oxygen are carried
to support respiration for two hours
even while the individual is working
Tho apparatus consists of a mask or
helmet, which completely covers the
face. but exposes the ears, SO that
while the eyes of the wearer are pro
tected from the smoke he can hear
distinctly
There are connected with the mask
two rubber bags-one for the exhaled
ali and the other connected with the
oxygen and the regenerated air. The
former is contained in steel cylinders
and by means of proper reducing
valves acts on the air after the car
bonic acid which has been exhaled is
absorbed by granulated potash. The
Instrument weighs about twenty-eight
pounds, but is sure in its action, and
has been used successfully by the
Paris fire department, where. in ad-
d;tion. portable electric lights with
flexible. cables form a part Of the
equipment, and thus allow firemen to
penetrate dark and smoky rooms and
cellars to save life or cut off gas or
electricity. or perform some other use
fui duties.' In mines the apparatus
is valuable in case of accidents due to
fire-damp or explosion, and 1t is COM

Viewed from a Business Standpoint

Walker and Goodrich are un lertak-
ers and business rivals in one of Our
northern New England cities. At a
children's dancing party last February
the birthday of Washington was being
observed in pleasing manner. Little
algaret Walker was the center of
one animated group of children who
were eagerly discussing something
they had overheard concerning the
great man.
why, don't you know that Wash
ingtoh is dead?" volunteered one little
girl proud of her superior wis;om.
Are you sure?" asked Margaret:

Even if they cannot find q place among the first half dozen, their fame has been won by endeavor of the sort that helps those who need help most, and 1t will last. perhaps. long after some of the others now well known to the world shall be forgot.
 Mrs. Humphrey Ward and Mime. Adam. Certainly no other living woman can reach the standard set in fiction by Mrs. Humphrey Ward or in editing by Mime. Juliet Adam, editor of the French Nouveile Revue. The latter is surely the most famous woman editor in the world; though her periodical is not read by the masses, even in France, 1t is familiar to every chancellerie in the whole world.
 Mime. Adam is 75, and her life has had It's thrills. At IS her parents married her to notary, whom she deserted af- ter he had indulged in numerous pleas antries at her expense, trying to sell her, body and soul. to Turkish Pacha, for money. being the most interesting. In Paris. atfer that. she became close friend of George Sand and was married 1 the second time to Edmond Adam, g Senator of France, and a good man. who. dying. left her his money and q memory so prized that, though she was widely sought as a wife for her wealth. if nothing else, she remained a widow.
 With this wealth she established her per iodical as a rival of Le Revue des Deux Mondes. and the most famous sa- Ion in Europe. Most of the famous men os France have been figures in her sa- Ion, many of the famous political essay. ists, poets and novelists wrote first for her Revue. She was the friend of Gam betta, she suggested the Franca- Rus sian alliance; she got Pierre Lott into the Academy, and she kept Zola out. She has been at the front in many of the most momentous movements Of France, and while not entitled. per haps, to be named among tho six most famous women, she certainly stands righ in the list amohg the worlds thinking men ard women.
 Mrs. Humphrey Ward is younger and destined, apparently. to reach greater fame than any other woman writer now alive. Mrs. Wards path to fame has been without the disffculties some who seek 1t have to overcome. Born in Aus tralia, her father. a clergyman, pr. Thomas ArnoId--her uncle Matthew Ar nold--she was taken to England when a young girl and there met and mar ried T.

 Possibly Marie Corellrs books have been more widely read than Mrs. Humphrey Wards, and those who pre- fer The Sorrows of Satan" to "The Marriage of William Ashe" might vote Miss Corelii the more famous of the two. The late Queen Victoria would have voted for Miss coreIli in prefer enee to Mrs. Ward. Would your

A FRENCH PEASANTS FIND.
Dug Up an old Roman Dwelling wssh
 His Pick.

Not long ago French peasant named Maurin, while pottering about between Mende and Chateauneuf- f-sur- Random. in the Lozere, made remarkable arch geological discovery. His pick, at one particular stroke. sank into the soil with ar ease that excited his suspi- cions. Carefully proceeding he dug down into the ruins of 8 dwelling that speedily betrayed itself as very ancient. When fully uncovered 1t proved to ba the remains of Roman villa once luxuriously furnished. The walls still bear traces of rich frescoes. And be- hind the cookoo clock on the mantel- piece the peasant Maurin came across theHiittle tin savings bank of the late infant Caius Lucullus. Jr. It contained a large number Of valuable coins. hear- Ing effigies of Roman emperors and such like, and Maurin came out of the adventure naturally in the humor cg little Jack Horner.
 Later diggings. were unproductive of any more tin savings banks. uncovered more fragments of walls. all apparently belonging to an old Roman town.

Plain AAGister, Becoming a Forgotten
 Title in the United States.

Boston Herald.
 An American journalist, returning after an absence of some years abroad, comments upon the profuse application of titles which is becoming frequent in this country. The practice Is es- sentially a modern one. Daniel Web ster in his lifetime was never spoken of as Senator Webster. but always as plain .Mr" Webster. Nowadays, however, 1t is invariably Senator" this and that; and almost everybody has some kind of a handle to his name. Thus we have "Forecaster" Jones, ''Undertaker" Smith. Conductor" Rob- inson, Superintendent of the Poor house" Brown, Common Councilman shucks, and "Selectman" Bumps, and so on. If this kind of thing keeps on, we shall end by resting our claims to respect and consideration upon those painfully minute social distinctions which prevail in Germany, where men or women inscribe their names in ho- tel registers with the addition of such descriptive phrases as cousin to an apothecary." or "brother-in-law to corporal"
