HIS FIRST FIRE.
z&~x%x.Ss.a>sSAS&sS,

First fire I run to with the injine after I jined the company was to the Widow Ricketts," murmured old Hi ram Pettigrew, settling himself more easily on the bench before the new en- zine house. He liked to recall the fact that he had been a fireman himself once, in the old volunteer days.
 "A blind fire twas, all smoke and no fame" he went on, "and Mis- Pickett was away, and didn't get back till jest's we'd got 1t out.
 "A hard fire twas to handle, but we made good job of it, and I was stand ing triumphant in the middle O the parlor-a buddy, tricky, streaky, smeary, smoky ruinatlon of place 1t looked-suryeying the scene, when she come in.

 Her voice kept rising higher and higher and at last says she, Did it to make trade for your pas store, I'll warrant, you young booby! but if ever I buy rag nor stick of him again I'll be whipped.

Teacher-Now, Harold, can you tell me what wisdom is? Small Harold Yes. ma'am. It's information of the brain.
 Mamma-Why did you eat the whole of that pie in the pantry, Willie? Lit tie Willle-'Cause you told me once never to do things by halves.

 Little Margie had been to the den tlSt's to have a tooth extracted and this is how she explained the proceed ings: "The man grabbed hold with a air of big tongs and pulled his best, and just before It killed me the tootb came out"
 Elmer wanted to go in swimming. But" protested the father, I'm afraid 1t will not be good for you, Elmer. Only this morning you complained of a pain in your stomach" That's all

EFFECTS OF oPIUM.
The. Drug Wifi stupefy some People
 and Excite Others.

Comparatively few persons know what opium really Is. When they turn to a dictionary and gIean therefrom that it Is lhe "inspissated juice of the somniferous poppy they are still like ly to be in the dark.
 The process of obtaining it is to score the pods at fixed intervals during certain period The milky liquid which comes out soon turn a darker hue and thickeGs and it then saraped off and nodded into cakes, with poppy leaves for an outside covering
 It was asccrtaincd from evidence af- forded to the Indian opium commission of 1896 that in some states of India not few of the natives took as much as forty to eighty grains of opium daily and that consumption of forty grains WAS common.
 Contrary to the impression hat deA ,h results from sudden cessation of the habit, 1t has been proved that when confirmed opium eaters have been de prived temporarily of their fayorite drug their health has not usually sui fered.
 The article has a varying effect on different races and constitutions, ex- citing some and stupefying others. It reduces the average Chinaman to q state of torpOr if he takes it plentiful ly and not infrequently causes the Ma lay to run amuck. It has been record ed that the Japanese regularly took it before going to fight so as to work themselves up to pitch of excitement.
 Most of the drug that is imported Into England is much stronger than what is ordinarily consumed in India and imported into China. The stipula- ton of the British pharmacopoeia is that all opium used incidentally shall yield at least 9I2 per cent of anhydrous morphine.
 The morphia percentage in much of the opium prepared in India for con sumption there and eXportation to Chi na is less than half this specific strength. This is detail which novel, ists who are addicted to poisoning their characters should note.
 It is rather striking that opium does not seem to be largely resorted to in India as a means of suicide. The evi- dence of the largest insurance com pany was to the effect that after twea- ty years experience there the company had decided that it was not necessary to impose any extra premium on the lives of moderate opium users Cham bers' Jouruel.

The Auto Habit.

Some delyer has found in he Bible what he believes to be a hint of auto mobiles. It is contained in the story of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite concerning the burden of Nlneveh. In the account given by this seer of the military array of the Medes and Baby, lonians against Nineyeh occurs this verse: 'srhe chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against the other in the broad way, they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightning" If that doesn't de- scribe a street full of motor cars what does? Then again, a variant of the word "jostle," which the original He brew will, ii is said, bear even better, is pass swiftly, without particular purpose, to and fro" Isn't that the automobile habit?

CAT AND CHEESE"
~~~~o0~~NN-~~

If ever. in connection with cheese, ones thoughts fly to a cat instead of a mouse, it must surely be to that famous, grinning cat from the county of cheeseS, the Cheshire eat But the cat asso- clated with cheese iu the annals of a certain family, whose ancestors were pioneers, was no such amiable creature. Neither was 1t an ordinary cat, nor was the cheese an ordinary cheese.
 Little Lucy, eight years old, was sent to | neighbors two miles distant on an Crrand. The road. although scarcely more than track, ran through cleared land except for q few rods of wood. and was supposed 10 be safe. But in the woods the child became aware that something, skulking and rustling in the underbrush, was follow ing her. She ran, and emerged safely into the open, but to her horror wild cat, which must have been eXtraordi- narily hungry, burst boldly out of the brush. and came bounding down the "oad in pursuit.
 The farmhouse was in sight, and she screamed for help; but it was plain she must be overtaken before help could come.
 Just us the creature was about 10 spring upon her, the little girl, with a desperate flash of courage, stopped, faced it, and @h arms extended hori- zontally, began Whirling wildly around and round. She kept whlrlfng till she was breathless and dizzy, then dipped quickly to the ground, and with her distended skirts made cheese"
 These amazing proceedings so dscon- certed the wildcat that although it re mained glarins and growing near by, l it did not dare to bounce. By the time l 1t gathered courage to crouch again for spring, Lucy gained greath for another whirl and again her dizzily mysterious gyrations averted the at l tack. Three times she whirled and made a checse:" then lad from the house. who had heard her cry, ran up with his gun and shot the cat.
 The skin he gave to Lucy, whom he afterward married, and the tippet made from it was duly handed down with the story to another Lucy. But furs are perlshable, and Lucy's Lucy can only pass on the story to Lucy the fourth.- Youths Companion.

PHOTO TEA A LONDON FAD.
Guests Asked to Identify Pictures or
 Friends Taken in Childhood.

Guests Asked tO ldenftIy fictures Of
 Friends Taken in Childhood.
 London society has a new craze, call ed the photo tea," which has caught on because 1t Is productive of so much genuine amusement. says the New York American. Each guest who re- ceiyes an invitation is requested to bring a photograph of himself or her self taken before the age of five. All the photographs are duly numbered, and a list of names Is kept by the hostess. After being collected and shufled they are distributed among the players.
 The fun consists In endeavorlng to trace the originals of portraits. So many minutes are permitted for ob- seryation, and then the number of the photograph and the guess at its iden- tity are written on a sheet of note paper. The pictures are then passed on from one to another. and the same program Is gone through with the new observer. The result of the second ob- servation Is also recorded.
 This goes on until every photograph has passed through the hands of each guest. The lists are then inscribed with the players names and are col lected. The player who Is successful in fixing the identity in most cases re- celves the first prize, and the second and third prizes go to the "nexts' in the number of accurate guesses.
 The sight of a perplexed player star ing fxcdly at each guest until he can make up his mind who was the plump boy in the velvet knickerbockers or the chubby-cheeked girl In pinafores and plaits Is funny. One need not be much of a prophet to prognosticate the speedy appearance of the game in the i United States.

The GU 'se of too many laws Is con tinually impressing itself on thinking men. Judge Parker, who ran for the presidency three years ago, says, after long experience on the bench, that the need of the country Is not so much for new laws as for the enforcement of the old ones. Not long ago the speaker of the New York legislature, In a Chatauqua address, prophesled a reaction from the demand which cries for new laws whenever an old evil sbtrudes Itself upon notice.
