It is written: ' When silver and cold increase. then everything thou posscesest will do multiplied!' The new tariff bill will aid the rich to become richer, and through its outrageous tales jpon the neces sities of life it will force the poor 10 necome poorer.

The Canton (Ohio) News Demo crat says: "The government struck silver down by refusing to coin and to recognize it as formerly.

In St Nicholas there is an article on "The Perils of a Fireman's Life," try Charles T. Hill, who has written sev eral articles on the New York fire de partment for this magazine. Mr. Hill aays: Next to a dangerous cellar fire noth ing is more dreaded by the men than what is known in their own language as the "back draft," This is a sudden veering of the flames, usually caused by the burning away of some portion ol the bnildiuK that gives the fire renewed jdraf t and changes its course completely. The firemen arrive ana nna tnewnoie second or third floor of a building in flames. Axes in hand, they smash open the doors, and with the hose dash np the stairway. This is all afire, and the flames are rolling above like a red pall. With the engine at work and good pres sure on the line, the battle between the two elements, fire and water, begins. Inch by inch the men fight their way up the stairway, now to retreat as the fire gains npon,tbem and now to ad vance as it rolls away lor a moment. The encouraging words of the com manding officer are heard behind them urging them on: "Now, get in, boysl That's it get in get in! Make the next landing! Hit it up, boys!" and all the other words of encouragement that he usually gives. They finally rach the landing. Tbay are on the floor with the fire. It rolls away from them. They drive it farther back. Eucouraged by their seeming vic tory, they drag up more of the heavy hose to make a final dash at it, when suddenly something falls in at the rear of the fire that gives it renewed draft. It rolls toward them, an impenetrable wall of fire tie deadly back draft! Their only chance of escape is to throw themselves upon their faces, in hope that it may roll over them, or to burl themselves down the stairs np which they have so gallantly fought their way. Better a broken leg cr arm than death by roasting, and the water of 50 err- cines cnuld never gtay the progress of that awful wave of flame. $ Many a brave fellow has lost his life in this maimer, and very often all the members of a company return with their eyebrows, hair and beard singed off, bearing evidence that t':?y have been "ketched," as they express it, by a less terrible form of this deadly draft. VILLAGE ODDITIES. English Towns Diatioanlahed For Being One or a Kind. Undoubtedly the most extraordinary township in England is that of Skiddaw, in Cnmberlaud. It contains but one house, the occupier of which is unable to exercise the Briton's privilege of vot ing because there is no overseer to pre pare a voters', list aud no church or oth er place of worship or assembly on which to pnbrlisli one. The most remote village in England is that of Farley-cnra-Pitton. This tru ly rural spot is 80 miles from the nearest railway station. As a contrast to this may be mentioned the hamlet of Ystrad, about 10 miles from Cardiff. This tiny settlement possesses two im portant main roads, two railways aud two large rivers. A very unique feature is exclusively claimed by Trim ley, a small village in Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the parish two churches are to be seen. Serv. ice is conducted three times a week in eitch of these churches at the same hour. The deepest well in England is found at Hamilton, in Hampshire. It stretch es 850 feet below the surface of the earth. About half way down this well shaft is a subway, three miles in length, which leads to the seacoast. On the top of the parish church tow er in Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is a yew tree, now five feet high and still growing in a hardy fashion. It is gen erally believed that the tree owes its origin to a seed dropped by a bird. Perhaps the most splendidly deco rated chnrch in the kingdom is that et Whitley Court, Worcestershire. It is en tirely constructed of white marble, the pews are chastely carved, and the pul pit is of genuine Carrara marble, richly paneled with precious stones. Ou the villago green at Meriden,- in Warwickshire, there is a large stone cross which is supposed to mark the central point of England. Pearson's Magazine. A "Mother" Triumph.

Of the serious duels, France can boast fully 000 from New Tear'a to The majority of these are among army officers. More than half of these resnlt in wounds, nearly 20 per cent in seri ous wounds.
