Risked Life for a Beer.

From the New York Times
 John Petersen. known as daredevil among his fellows who are working on the dome of St. Michaels Roman Catholic church. Forty-second street and Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. took a foolhardy risk yesterday. On the wager of pail of beer at noon yesterday he climbed to the top of the huge cross surmounting the steeple.
 There he stood on one leg and then the other. Firing of this. he pretended that he was rooster, Hopping his arms. he crowed Justify. Petersen was 257 feet above the sidewalk, He was perched on surface F by II inches.
 In little while the streets were packed with people watching his antics and ex- pecting to see him blown off. as the wind was high. Roundsman McNamara and Patrolman Dobbs shouted to him to come down. Thinking that he did not hear they borrowed a megaphone to enforce their commands When this proved of no avail they entered the church and climbed to the tower. Petersen made faces at them and dared them to climb up and arrest him.
 After a great deal of talk the policemen agreed to go away if Petersen would come down. They further agreed not to arrest him. Petersen won his pail of beer and then went to work with his fellows on the roof of the church.

 There are five new teeth and they are all incisors. They are coming in between the old double anteriors and peer forth like rice grains among the older teeth The cutting of them does not seem to affect him in any way. For two years they have been coming. one at time,

Judge N. B. Feagin of the police court announced yesterday that law and order must reign supreme during the holidays
 Those who violate the law by the dis charge of fireworks within the fire limits will be heavily fined, if proven guilty. so Judge Feagin says.
 'Rowdyism has held sway during the holidays in Birmingham long enough. !" said Judge Feagin. Heretofore this ele- ment has held an upper hand during the holidays, and the time has come when the better people must rule. Ladies have been insulted by the blowing of horns in their ears and the throwing of confetti by some young hoodlums. This class of people cannot last in Birmingham. Men who get drunk and lose sight of the fact that they are gentlemen need expect no mercy from me
 T have made up my mind to fine heavily every person who violates the law during the holidays. Mayor Ward has announced that there will be no remission of fines. With the support of the mayor and my

Mice Enlisted In Navy.

From the New York Press
 White mice are on the pay roll of the British navy. An officer attached to the squadron of Prince Louis of Battenberg so asserted while here the other day We have been told countless times that rats always desert sinking ship These white mice do not. They are employed on the submarines and are regarded among the crews as life preservers. The sinking of the below-sea monsters of destruction has no fears for them
 The diminutive rodents" says the off cer referred to. receive a shilling a week and full navy rations. Their work consists in watching the gasoline tanks to detect the escape of vapor. Some nat uralist has discovered that white mice are extremely sensitive to stimuli affecting the olfactory nerves. We make use of this by keeping few of the little crea- lures always near the gasoline tanks when we are under way, and we watch them very closely. When they set up a continuous squeaking it is time to look to the tanks. There may be but tiny leak yet these animals are sure to detect it. and by their actions give immediate warning. We give them the best of care and consider them very necessary and important members of our crews''

Tie Obseryant Citizen remembers some time ago when thp lady of the house insisted that Lc should sec 'Ucr parlot" Her husband smiled good uatuvcdly, and they both led the way to a big front room which was locked. The door was unlocked, and the parlor got Its first fresh air in mouths. The little family had cNpcud- eI much money on the purlor. Every thing was new but the stuffed birds under glass cases. The design of the carpet was wonderful in that 1t consist ed of bright red roses. One felt like stepping into a bed of flames. A horse shoe sofa, very erect, was the principal article of furniture, while at the win dows were the stif'est lace curtains you ever saw. The room had musty 5mell due to long confined air. It was luxury imprisoned" on a small scale and the finest example of the old time useless parlor.-NIanchCster Union.
