Meets Death by Being Burned

Margaret, the little four-year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alex Davidson, was so terribly
burned last Saturday that she
died within three hours. 1t
appears that Little Margaret
and her brother, aged six, had
assisted their mother to pick
up a box of matches which had
fallen to the floor. The moth
er thought that all the matches
had been returned to the box
after taking some away from
the little boy. but it seems that
one or the other still had one
or two and these they took to
the playhouse a couple of hun
dred yards away. There, dur
ing their play, the little ones
dress caught fire and after the
brother tried and was unable to
extinguish the flames they
started for the house but she
could not make it and the
brother went for their mother
but it was too late and in a few
hours the little life ebbed out.
Funeral services were held

Reading History.

He who reads history learns to dis.
tinguish what is local from what is
universal. what is transitory from
what is eternal; to discriminate be-
tween exceptions and rules, to trace
the operation Of disturbing causes, to
separate the general principles which
are always true and everywhere ap-
plicable from the accidental circum.
stances with which in every commu,
nifty they are blended and with which,
in an isolated community, they are
COMPOUNDED by the most philosophical
mind. Hence it is that in generalization
the writer's Of modern times have far
surpassed those Of antiQuity.-Macau'

When the United States gunboat
Princeton struck an uncharted sub

was struck entered the hold Of the
ship. filling the rent torn in the hull
and preventing any progress being
made. 1t was possible to keep the wa.
