Habit* of Vigilance That Prevent
Betas Overlooked.
After twoscore firemen bad been tak-
en nnoonscioua from the cellar of a
burning building in Chambers street a
curious citizen who wandered inside
the Arc lines asked:
"How do they happen to know in all
this confusion and noise that men sup-
posed to bo fighting fire in the cellar
have been overcome by smoke and are
lying down there unconscious, nud
how, too, with nearly 40 men rescued,
do they know that there are not more
men in the cellar in a similar predica-
ment?"
Under the circumstances the question
was perfectly natural. It was a dark
night and the fact that the electric
lights for a block east and west sputter-
ed constantly instead of giving a steady
light did not improve matters. All was
confusion around the burning building.
Firemen were running every which way.
Policemen were beating back the crowd
which was struggling to get near enough
to the engine house to see the prostrate
firemen within. Ambulances and fire
engines blocked the street, and firemen
were clambcring over the roofs of ad-
joining buildings, yelling hoarsely at
one another and seeking places to fight
the fire.
Naturally in all this confusion it was
a matter of wonder to cue not familiar
with the ways of firemen how in the
world they could tell whether or not
any of their comrades was in danger.
Tho cellar of the building was full of
thick, black smoke, which no man
could live in even for a short time, and
besides that tho temperature was down
to zero, for the fire was in a cold stor-
age warehouse and the freezing rooms
were in the cellar.
There is a system in tho fire depart
ment by which tho men can keep track
of one another. The rule is for the men
of each company to look out for tho
members of that company. This makes
it comparatively easy for the men to
keep track of one another, for there are
rarely more than a dozen men in a
company, and each man in it knows
about where his comrades are working
at a fire.
The custom among the men is to keep
constantly inquiring for one another. If
Jones hasn't happened to see Smith for
some time, he immediately asks the
first man of his company that ho comes
across where Smith is. If that man can't
tell, the inquiries go cn, and so a man
can't be missing for very long without
his comrades knowing it. Then it is an
easy matter to trace Smith to tho last
task he was ordered to do, and as a rule
he is hauled safely out of danger. From
constant usage the system has become
almost perfect, and tho cool courage
that it has developed has made the de-
partment one of the finest in the world.
Tho men will risk everything and go
against the most tremendous edds to
save a comrade.—New York Sun.

A Wheelman's Device.
Ingenious -wheelmen of Nice have put
an end to the tribute of lives which
a hill near that city has been ex-
acting from them. At the bottom of
this declivity, it seems, there is a sharp
turn, then a bridge with a low parapet,
and just beyond a terrible amount of
nothing at all except scenery. Long ago
the French Touring club put a sign ad-
vising caution in a conspicuous place at
the top of the descent, but this did not
prove sufficient to overcome the fatal
attraction of the abyss, and wheelmen
continued to precipitate themselves into
tho view—which, by the way, was pri-
vate property—with a rapidity that
threatened in time seriously to diminish
tho club's annual receipts from dues.
After long study of the problems,
financial, aesthetic and others, which
the case involved, it was decided to sus-
pend just beyond the parapet a strong
net neatly woven of steel wires. The
very day after it was put in place a bi-
cyclist came coasting wildly down the
hill, struck the stone wall, left his wheel
—it wasn't worth taking any farther—
and took a graceful header into the net
For the first time it wasn't necessary
for the newspapers of Nice, in giving
their regular news from the bridge of
Raminguo, to say anything about "a
plunge into eternity." Since then the
net has saved an average of four lives a
week, and so well known have its pow-
ers become that picnic parties from the
city, which once avoided the bridge as a
placo of tragical associations, now re-
sort there daily to watch, from the cooi
shade of nearby trees, the amusing
postures assumed by the wheelmen and
wheelwomen when they strike the elas-
tic wires. According to recent informa-
tipn from that region the spectacle is
well worth seeing.—New York Times.

Bone and Sinew.
"We cannot succeed," said the prime
minister, "without the sinews of war."
"By sinews," said the private secre-
tary, who occasionally moved in tbe
lower circles, "I presume yon mean
bones."
And it was with great sorrow that he
found himself compelled to txplain to
his chief that dollars were cften so des
ignated by tije vulgar.—Typographical
Journal.
Rough on Abdal Azix.
When Abdul Aziz, sultan of Turkey,
was deposed, Queen Victoria tele-
graphed to his captors in French,
"Soienez le bien," or "Take good tuie
of him." The wires said, "Faignez le
bien," which means something very
different—namely, "Bleed him well,"
an error of the wires which reads giew-
somely in the light of tbe fate which
befell that unhappy monarch.
Contentment.
"I saw you last night as I passed by
your house. What in the world was that
contrivance you had sticking out from
your forehead?"
''Cute, wasn't it? You see, my wife
lets me smoke in tbe house, but I have
to wear an arrester to keep the smoke
from soiling the ceiling. Clever, ain't
it?"—Cleveland Leader.
Humility.
It is not every great man who carries
his honors as meekly as the mayor of
Inverness, who rebuked an admiring
crowd in tbe words, "Frens, I'm just »
mortal man like yersels." Sir Wilfrid
Lawson tells tbe following etory: "A
woman wasonce pursuing her fugitive
cow down rlaue, when she called oat to
some one in front, 'Man, turn my cow. *
Tbe man took no notice and allowed
tbe cow to pass. When the came up,
■be said, 'Mas, why did you not torn
my cow?' He replied, 'Woman, I an
not a man; 1 am a magistrate.'"
