The Fire In the Paris Central.

LILO r ATc III GuO 1aT1S CcnCf0l.
The recent fire in the Paris postoff1ce
tied up trade for a time, because it
destroyed telephone and telegraph COM
munications between the French CAPT.
tai and the outside world. The entire
service for the city was centered in
one building, and the machinery for
operating it was seriously crippled, and
there was no duplicate plant to fall
back upon.
OF course the telephone and tele-
graph, like nearly all public utilities
in France. are monopollzed by the gov
eminent. There can be no rival Or
ganization with competing lines. Here
appears to be one case where exclusive
government ownership has its draw
backs. Still, the French people do not
patonize the telephone and telegraph
as literally as do the Americans, and
it is possible that private companies
would not have developed the Paris
system to its present dimensions.

Pageantry and Patriotism.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once suggested
a sort of panorama to illustrate the
progress Of the historic town of Salem
from the time when its main street was
an Indian path through the forest.
The show was to serve the purpose of
instruction and arouse in modern minds
appreciation of and reverence for the
sterling qualities Of the ancestors of
the people Of New England.
The idea, which was only crudely
outlined by Hawthorne, is fully devel-
oped in the historic pageant Of today,
which is experiencing something of
revival in the old world and has been
adopted this season at Quebec and
Philadelphia. The pageant is a comb
nation Of moving picture and living
picture. 1t is bold appeal to the eye
and mind and, like the cartoon Of the
clever artist, enables the spectator to
take in at a glance story full Of
meaning and one that fingers. A
pageant which casts a glamour over
the past awakens an appreciation of
the spirit of written history, and pages
that were dull before deliver a message
that the multitude can understand.

The Blizzard Of 1888.

NJ was living in O'Neill, Neb., at the
time Of the great blizzard in 1885,
said Nebraskan. land had just left
the Office to 60 home for dinner when
the blizzard struck I started to cross
the street TO a drug store, but when /
reached the other side I found myself
halfway down the block from my des-
t1nation. The fine wind driven snow
fakes filed the air so that I couldn't
see my hand before me. finally work
ed my way back to the drug store,
where number of other men had
taken refuge from the storm. School
had just been dismissed for the noon
recess, and we knew that nearly 300
children were out in the storm. Sc
curing long ropes, the crowd started
out to rescue them. We found them
huddled in doorways and by the sides
OF buildings. The children caught hold
OF the ropes and were led to shelter by
their reScuers, whose sense Of direc-
ton gradually returned to them. Every
one of the 300 school children in the
town was got home in safety. But
seven schoolteachers were frozen to
death in the country during the biz
zard and thousands of cattle died. The
thermometer fell from about the freez-
Ing point at noon to 20 degrees below
zero that night. 1t was the worst biz
zard ever saw, and never want to
experience another like it."-Des

HUCKLEBERRY FARMING.
Agriculture With Match In the Tim
Der REGIONS.

1T may seem incredible to those
who have never lived in or travelled
much through timber districts where
the huckleberry is Indigenous" said a
native Of such district, ''but it is a fact
that there is tribe Of shiftless persons
in all such regions who Systematically
and without regard to law, property
or life set fire to woods or cut over
land adjacent to woods simply to in
crease the area Of huckleberry bushes.
There is only one way in which
huckelberries can be cultivated, and
the huckleberry farmer does not need
to own an inch of land. If he has the
title. to one simple lucifer match he
can put thousands of acres under cult
walton in a very short time.
"He has only to light the match and
touch it to the dry leaves and branches
on the ground, either in early spring
or late fall, and his cultivation is soon
the ground before fire swept it bare,
huckleberry bushes will never fail to
spring up luxuriantly from the ashes
and scorched soil. They will be in
abundant bearing the next season.
What the result may have been in loss
Of life or property does not concern
the persons who reap the benefit.
MANY Of the fires that devastate our
forests every year may be traced to
this reckless and deliberate making
or improving OF huckleberry patches.
remember one instance particularly
where the setting fire to the brush on
huckleberry barren in northern Penn
sylvania resulted in a forest fire that
swept over a 10000 acre timber tract,
doing incalculable damage to the stand
ing timber and reducing to ashes So
600 feet Of logs and lumber and 3d.
600 cords Of tanbark, representing a
money value Of nearly $750,OOO. Twen-
ty persons were burned to death and
thirty so badly burned that seven Of
them died from their injuries. The
huckleberry crop gathered from this
cultivation Of that barren waste per-
haps realized 5000 to the cultivators.-

His Curiosity Satisfied.

A wealthy tradesman who had been
drinking the waters of Bath. England.
took fancy to try those Of Bristol.
Armed with a letter of introduction
from his Bath physician to a profess
sional brother at Bristol, the old gen.
deman set off on his journey. On the
way he said to himself, II wonder
what DR.. Blank has advised the Bris-
tol physician in regard to my case?"
and, giving way to curiosity, he OPEN
ed the letter and read:
Dear Doctor-The bearer is a fat Wilt
shire cloth1er; make the most of him.
Yours professionally, J. BLANK.

WHAT c0LoRs TELL
Tho Way the Spectroscope Reads tho
Sun and Stars.

Tho Way the speetroseope Read. tho
Sun and Stars.
When one lights a common sulphur
match in the dark it is worth while to
notice what happens. First, its phos-
phOrus gives out faint yellow rays,
and almost at the same time the sui
phur begins to burn with blush
beams.
AS yet the fame yields little light.
In moment or two the wood of the
match t>kes fire, and then a stream
of clear white light pours forth. Each
of the materials of the match-its
phosphorus, sulphur and wood--has
Shone in burning with a color of its
own.
In street lighted by electricity and
gas the eye detects at once the diff
ference between the white rays of the
one and the yellow beams of the other.
If nitrate OF strontiA is set on fire we
have a splendid red fame Filings of
copper burn with a glow of greenish
blue, and q fine, pure blue is had
when filings Of zinc are ignited. These
and other such substances furnish the
maker of fireworks with his materials.
Rockets, roman candles and bombs
all derive their beauty from the spe-
cial tints which attend the combustion
OF their ingredients. And any one
who has once seen the colors peculiar
to common salt, iron or anthony as
fhaV frQNo fhoroco1voc %h>
sky will always know what is alame
when he sees those colors again.
Sir John Herschel was the first to
understand that colors of this kind
tell wonderful story. He will knew
how the stars varied in tint-that Al
debaran was rudy, Arcturus yellow
and Sirius, the most glorious of all,
white. Might not the colors of body
afame, whether on earth or in the
sky, really be telling us of what that
body was composed?
His suggestion was taken up, and its
fruit is that marvel of ingenuity, the
spectroscope. One Of its principal
parts is prism employed to break up
the hues. These hues, which are d.
v1ded by many dark lines, make known
to us that the sun and stars are built
Of such materials as compose our own
globe.
Yet more, they tell US what kind Of
atmosphere surrounds them and, most
astonishing Of all, give us the rate at
which remote star is moving toward
or from the tiny orb we inhabit.-New
York Herald.

Compensation For Poachers.


A gamekeeper on a northern estate
tells an amusing story of the latest
thing in the compensation line. When
he was escorting the gentlemen round
the coverts one day the party were
alarmed to hear loud cry just after
shots had been fred. Running to the
spot thick bush growth, the keeper
found a man lying grooming on the
ground.
Some Of them gents ave shot me in
the Leg" groaned the man.
Examination proved that the sufferer
had indeed received bird shot pellet
In his left calf. It was a trivial in
jury. but was handsomely compensat-
ed for by the gentlemen in the party,
who presented the victim with quite q
good sum in gold.
That same evening the gamekeeper
came upon two men in a quiet lane en-.
gagged in hot dispute about the shar-
ing Of some money. One Of the men
had a shotgun, and, tapping it signif-
cantly, he said threateningly: "'Alf
shares, or I'll go straight to the p'lice
and split on US both. I'll give the,
game away. I'll tell 'em 'ow put that
pill in yer leg to knock money out o.
the shooters"
Then the gamekeeper disclosed him.
