In a fire developing with great rapid
ity undergo extreme physical suffer

pressed by the New York Medical Jour

guIsh of mind has probably been felt
by relatives Of unfortunate workers
killed in factory fires by reflection on
the supposedly agonizing pain caused
by such a death. Where great bulk
OF highly infammable substances Is

result is the production Of large guam
titles Of carbon monoxide. This gas

Salt Reliance.

The spirit Of self help is the root OF
all genuine growth in the individual.

constitutes the true source OF national
yigor and strength. Help from with

but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever IS done for men or

the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub

Two Very Old Ladies

We have heard a great deal lately
about long lived people, but it IS prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 17S5. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old,
The latter however, Is nine months
her senior, having been born In May.
1854.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village OF Bavelsko. whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was ocCasOned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away IN a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however. Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list OF his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex.
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and broad smile spread over his face
His blunder did not cost anything
