Had Narrow Escape When
House Burned Down
Got Out Just Before The
Roof Fell In

The home of MIR. and Mrs. George
Cofield, located just west of Center
burg, was entirely destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning the fire hav-
ing started before the family arose
from bed At about 6:15 o'clock Mr..
Coflield was awakened by the odor
of smoke and an investigation showed
that the house was burning. Hastily
awakening the rest of the family.
hurried escape was made just in
time rs the roof fell in very short
time after the structure was vacated.
Not any of the household goods and
very little clothing was saven from
the fire, the origin of which is a mys-
terry. 1t is known to have started
down stairs, but as there was no fire
burning in the stove or lamp, the
blaze cannot be accounted for. The
loss is pratially covered by insurance.

GIRL
.FIirts With Death In The
FOrepaugh-SelIs Circus

For utter recklessness in the face Of
danger and for nerve that passes all
understanding Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers have at last brought forth an
act that establishes new record.
When the big circus comes to Mt.
Vernon on Thursday, June 20 the NOR
bid minded will be given an oppor-
tunity of seeing q young French wo-
man dash down a steep incline in an
automobile, the machine and rider
leaping high in air and then after ac-
complishing two complete somersaults
in space, landing with terrific impact
on spring platform fifty feet away,
II is the first time In the history of
thrillers that double mid-air somer-
sault has been achieved, though other
circus have advertised one and one
half sumersault act as double revolu-
ton. Here for the first time is the or
iginal and genuine act which set
France wild last year. Description OF
the act defies the power of English.
II Is a brief moment of exquisite sus,
pense that pinches the hearts and
whitens the faces of spectators. The
relief of the audience when the act is

DR.. Francis Ward said that in an at

ural surroundings he had constructed
a pond with an observation chamber

this chamber unseen by the fish he
could watch and photograph their

means that the protection of fish when
in their natural state is much more
thorough than is generally supposed.
All silvery fish were in reality merely

TABLE KNIVES.

Incident That Changed Them From
Pointed TO Rounded Ends.
Table knives are Invariably made
with rounded ends. Did It ever occur
TO you TO wonder why they are of this
shape instead OF pointed. like any 9TH
er knife blade?
Perhaps you may imagine that the
ends were Rounded as a protection TO
life and limb in those turbulent days
when men drew their swords or any
other available lethal weapon at the
very slightest provocation.
But this is not tie case. The story
goes-and it is fairly well substan-
tiated-that the great Cardinal Richie
lieu had guest 10 dinner whose mau.
ners at the table were very far from
being all that could be desired.
The climax was reached when the
fellow, after finishing the meat course.
began 10 pick his teeth with his table
knife. at that date made with a sharp
point. The guest being a man OF birth
and importance. the cardinal could not
openly demonstrate, but next day he
gave orders that the point of every
knife IN the establishment should be
rounded off.
