A Correction,

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Permit me
to correct in the columns of your good paper
the erroneous impression that has been gained
by some of your readers from quotations from
correspondence of Rufus H. Fitzgerald, now
resident minister of the Society of Friends at
Brooks. AS this letter quoted was written to
me, am able to say that it has been misquoted
and garbled. The facts are that Mr.. Fitzgerald
is highly esteemed in Brooks, where his effort
has been to enable the young people especially
to fit themselves for the highest usefulness,
and has worked in harmony with the Congre-
gational society in all possible efforts for the
betterment of the community. 1t is pleasure
for me to state that Rufus H. Fitzgerald has
the esteem of those who know him, and Friends
everywhere, which he has earned by noble
character. THOMAS HOOD
General Superintendent Evangelistic Work of
N. E. Y. Meeting of Friends.

Costly Jur of the Subway.

The tuppenny tube, London's sub
way, once set fire to a house in man.
ner so extraordinary az to merit atten-
ton. In a mansion beneath which
runs the subterranean railway one Of
the bedroom fireplaces was fitted with
a blower-a sheet Of iron inside the
CRATE which can be raised or lowered
to regulate the draft. The blower rest
ed on series Of iron notches. One
afternoon a servant kindled q fire in
the crate and when it was well alight
raised the blower, so that the coal
would burn but slowly, and so left it
while she went downstairs. Presently,
deep in the clay beneath the founda-
tons of the house, a train rushed along.
The vibrations from it's passing were
sufficient to jar the blower from the
notches on which the servant had left
it. 1t, dropped down. The draft in
creased; the fire ragged madly. The
flames were enough to set the chimney
on fire, burning SCOT set the water tank
on the roof alight, and there resulted
a considera bic con1iagration.-Pitts

A Girl and a Snake.

It is a matter of fact that men have
greater fear Of serpents than have wo-
men. During a visit to friends in the
country I was crossing a stretch Of
meadow in the company Of my hostess
daughter, sprightly girl of seventeen,
when a black snake crossed the path
ten feet in front of us. I caught ny
companion by the sleeve, but she
wrenched herself loose, gathered her
skirts abont her knees, gave running
jump and landed squarely upon the
back of the reptile. His snakeship
thrashed tie grass and the girls ankles
with equal futility. AS soon as she
could diseagage one foot she planted
1t upon tho serpent's head. In the alb
sence Of club or stones I was COM
PEELED to stand and witness a scene
that to me was terrifying, but to the
girl furnished supreme enjoyment.
Years afterward when 1 read Hag-
CARDS description Of Jess fight with
the kangaroo l understood the kind Of
entertainment that my young compan.
ion had provided for me.-Brooklyn

There's a Hare In the Moon,

Equally famous with the man in the
moon and the woman in the moon is
the hare in the moon, says Garrett P.
serviss in his Astronomy With the
Naked Eye" The original Is a Bud
dhist legend. The god Sakkria, dis
guised as Brahman, pretended to be
starving and went to the animals for
help. The monkey got him bunch of
mangoes; the coot picked up fisher
mans neglected string for him; the
fox stole him pot Of milk At last
the god approached the hare. II have
nothing but grass" said the hare, land
you can't eat that" But your flesh is
good" suggested the pretended Brah-
man. The hare assented. "Then," said
the Brahman, 'I'll kindle fire at the
foot Of this rock, and you jump off into
it. Thatll save me the trouble Of kill
ing you." The hare assented again,
but as he leaped from the rock the god
caught him in his arms and then drew
his figure in the moon as a perpetual
reminder of the excellence of self sac
