 The loss is estimated by MT. GreasOn. who owned the pro peaay, 70 be about $l2,000. It is said there is strong evidence the fire started from a passing en- zine.
 This property has been idle for two or three years, but we un- derstand there was a deal on, whereby the plant was soon to be put in operation.
 This is a heavy loss on MT. Greason.

Per.ians Love Mirrors.

Persia is the ideal place for a
looking glass peddler to live and
move and have his trade, for the
Persians are as fond Of the shiny
reflectors as are savages of beads.
Every year immense numbers Of
mirrors of all sorts and kinds are
shipped into the country of the
shah. In addition to having fond
ness for seeing themselves as look
ing glasses show them, the Persians
know no more pleasing parlor dec
orations than brilliant mirrors in
gilt frames. Some of the Persian
drawing rooms are so completely
hemmed in by great pier glasses
that visitors often become bewilder-
ed and try to walk through the
glasses down the long aisle that
seems to stretch in front. So bump
ed noses, knees and toes are not un-
common in that land Of oriental
splendor and mystery.

Keeping Up App.arane...

Frederick Van Feden, the Dutch
poet and economist, at a dinner in
New York attacked the extrava-
gance and ostentation Of the rich.
"When I think of these multimil-
ionaires' doings," he said, II am re-
minded of the young nobleman they
talk about in Amsterdam. This
young nobleman on a visit to the
country was seen by friend smok-
ing two cigars at once.
why are you doing that?' the
friend inquired.
We'll, you see,' said the other,
taking the right hand cigar from his
mouth and putting in the left hand
one, I can't get in this beastly hole
the florin weeds I am in the habit
OF smoking, and so I have to make
shift with two half form ones.'"

Portrait Painter Says Women % Not
Keen Appointments.

An artist who has enjoyed an un-
deniablc success as y portrait paint
CT and especially as painter of the
portraits of women was asked, after
looking at galaxy of beauty and
distinction, if he did not prefer to
paint women, says the New York
Herald. "'Thcir skin is SO smooth,

chiifons and surroundings seem to

gumcnt.
"Like to paint womenw he ex-
claimed. "No, a thousand times

poses he is equally faithful to my
convenience and his obligation. He
does his part and gives you your op-
