The Nervous Mother.

nervous and inclined to worry is the
mother of boy. She recently read
Of boy who was killed while roller
skating and Immediately put her sons
roller skates in the fire. Another
newspaper told Of boy who was kill
ed riding the street cars, and as boys
are frequently killed while walking by
street cars running over them she
chained her boy to the front door.
Then she read Of boy who died of
blood poisoning caused by his shoe
rubbing his heel. and her boys shoes
and stockings came off. The story of
boy who bit of button on his
waist and choked to death resulted in.
her taking off her boys clothes. He
had left only flannel shirt, and she
is reading now that wearing flannel
shirts is the cause Of great mortality
and is thinking Of removing that

PATHS Marrow Escape From Burning.
On my first appearance in Moscow
an exciting event occurred. Just pre-
vious to going on to the platform ap-
preached the cheval glass in my dress
ing room to arrange the blossoms in
my hair. when the long muslin skirts
l was wearing suddenly caught fire
from spirit lamp. Fortunately l had
the presence of mind to keep perfectly
still while those in the room extin-
guished the flames with rugs and
shawls. The danger was over. and
naturally felt upset, but managed to
make my appearance and sing my role
in the usual way. However, on re-
turning to the dressing room the exta
excitement was too much and caused
me to faint. The news of the mishap
spread quickly, and the manager, with
the artists, came and congratulated
me on my escape, and there arose a
contention for the pieces Of muslin the
fire had spared, which were carried
OF as trophies. = Adelina Patti In
