The DANGEROUS crInoIine.

In the days Of the wearing of crino
lines Lady Dorothy Nevill tells in hei
book of "reminiscences how, but fol
her prompt action, she might very
possibly have been burned to death
Sne was showing an engraving over
the fireplace to guest and in some
way her voluminous skirts caught fire.
None Of the women present could
do much to assist me-" she says. "for
their enormous crinolines rendered
them almost completely impotent to
deal with fire. Had they come close
to me they would have been In o
blaze, too" So she had perforce to
work out her own salvation, which she
did by rocking herself backward and
forward on thick rug till the flames
were extipguished.

Joke on Lord Kelvin,

Lord Kelvin. when he was Sir Will
liam Thomson, had. as professor of
natural philosophy, " an assistant
named Day, who took his lectures for
him in his absence. When the. pro.
lessor returned the students would
listen eagerly to him. and for the first
ten minutes or so he spoke clearly
and intelligently to all. BY and by,
however, some new idea would sug.
gest itself, and he would follow 1t out
in his lecture, getting more and more
beyond the depth of his hearers, until
at last not one of them could under
stand him. On one occasion student
remarked: Work while 1t is yet
Day. for the (k)night cometh when no
man can work"

Uncle Sam, unlike Job, the rich

cattle and horses or sheep and goats,
but he furnishes an enormous amount

Deer Hid Its Head,

Last winter some of the Berlin Mills
company's men caught deer and fed
1t in an abandoned camp fer few
days. The way the deer was caught
was rather peculiar.
They chased him in the snow and
the foolish deer, instead of running
away, ran to trainload of logs and
stood with his head sticking under the
logs between two cars. Like the
ostrich he probably thought that as he
couldn't see he couldn't be seen.

dered man five years ago.
Upon Wilson was found a letter. which.
the police say. is but one Of the i'm
portant links of evidence, which, they as
sert, connect him with the crime. This
letter is from woman. and asks him
for half the goods he got out of it.
The police say Wilson claims that he
was in New York on the day of the mur-
der, and that he came to this city early
last Friday morning
Capt. Donaghy said tonight that by
the statements of Williams he was con-
vinced he had ROmers murderer. Be

Admiral George Dewey wasn't seventy
years old last night. but he will be on
December 26. so he celebrated last even
ing anyway. by giving a dinner. at which
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
two of the guests
Admiral Dewey, who is the only Ameri-
can naval officer of the rank Of admiral,
and who has also the distinction Of being
able to say when he shall leave the serv-
ice. desired to make the passing of pier
seventy as a matter Of form.
He has never been able. it is said. to
httingly remember his birthday ami
versary for many years, on account Of
the date. This year however. it was
decided the natal event must be cele-
brated.
In order to comply with the wishes Of
President Roosevelt. the admiral decided
to give his birthday dinner last night
instead Of next week.
A List OF the Guests.
The other guests were Nine. Bonaparte,
Mrs. John R. Mclean. Mrs Frederick
w. Vanderbilt. Mrs Bayard, Mrs Nicho-
las Fish. Gen. Horace Porter Senator
Brandagee, Rear Admiral and Mrs
Brownson. Gen. and Mrs. Grant. Gen.

Admiral Dewey is still one of the most
vigorous men connected with the navy.
and it has often been remarked by his
friends and by others who have met
him. that he looks much younger than
seventy. He has the health. almost. Of
boy, and is as ruddy and sprightly as
ne was when he trOd the quarterback of
the Olympia in Manila Bay
Admiral Dewey attributes his good
health and spirits to his having lived so
long in the open air. His calling, that
in which the healthy breezes of the sea
have always cleared away the mists that
might have befogged his brain, has. he
believes, been a great factor in his con-
tinued well being
The only time when the open air was
not very healthy-that is the only time
the Admiral mentioned-was when he
fought with Farragut around Forts St.
Phillip and Jackson, way down on the
Lower Mississippi. When the Admiral
talked about that fight. he showed an
other characteristic. he didn't mention
the greatest battle Of all, in the many,
he has helped TO win-that of Manila.
COntented with His Lot.
Then. too. his contentment with his lot
and his belief that. insofar as he has
been able. he has lived the best life pos
sible for him to have lived, has brought
him that eontentment which he believes
is necessary to a long and peaceful ex-
istence He has said that never Cor a
moment has he regretted that he chose the
navy as his profession; never in all the
ffty-three years that he has been under
the direction OF Uncle Samuel" has he
felt that he should have done aught else.
Money, he has said, he does net care
for, particularly. and happiness, which
takes the place in the hearts Of many. he
has had, still possesses, and expects to
keep so long as he lives.
