"Fire! The house U on fire!" When that cry t heard In building panic seises upon the luninfe and Indesorllmble confusion enttnm. Some one rutin to a Ore box and sends In an alarm, which sounds In every engine bou In this city. Tbe response on the part of the firemen ... I- 1 1 1 . - ITkoM I. aim mcir . a.vw haute without blundVrlnK. there la no in terferenee of one man with another. Eager nnai to be off and reaohitior to work are dnptifed on each man's face. In ten sec onds the drivers are on their seato, lines tn hand, waiting the order to go. It Is given, aud away they diuth, the horses needing no urging, tbe nwn clinging with one band to a rail of the art, wriggling Into their rub ber cokIh. Nut many miuutea , later they are on the ((round, the hose ia fctUtcned to tits hydrant, laddera are run op and tha battle with the lire begins. The Inmates of the burning building, who a few mlnutro before were, pauio stricken, reicaiu confidence. Our ttremen, who, without limitation, plunga into a burning building, are men who at one time In life were as liable as any on to "tire panic," which influences men to do very fooliith and cowardly things. That tliey are not so now ta due to tbe training they receive aud the trials to which they aresubjrctd. Irt us follow ths course which an applicaut for appointment to the Are department tu turn city most undergo before he can wear the badge, which Is the emblem of "courage aud fidelity." TWAL OF VICIAUF1CATI0S. After lieing recommended by tha Are cnnimiasioiiem for appointment the appli cant is examined as to bis physical quali H.atlon. If they are up to the standard be ia turned over to the civil service com niianlouent fur examination aa to his knowledirn of tbe common school branches. If he pawvs he ia sent to headijuej-Ujra, where he enter the school of Instruction of the life saving corps, of which tha drill master Ih .Mr. Henry W. McAdama. He haa had charge of the school since its organ ization in 1SSA No one can go behind his returns; there is not political pull enough tn tlie city to secure tbe appointment ot a man whom be rejects. It is in tbia school. and during the thirty days he is In train ing, that tbe applicaut provea his flti or unfitness to be enrolled tn the service. The New York Are department baa complete gymnasium, where, besides the apparatus for the development and strengthening of the muscles, are all tha appliances It haa lu use. Thorough in struction is irlveu to the applicant by Mr. McAriaina, hi nine If a veteran fireman, aa to their purpose and proper handling. Familiarity with these appliances is abso lutely indispensable to celerity on the part of a fireman, whose essential characteristic inust be quickness. A slow man haa no chance for appointment in tbe department. TRAINING PROBATIONERS. Probationer are also taught morality in an indirect yet forcible manner. Remem bering that their calling demands of them courage and honesty, the probationer who Is with some company, either In tbe engine bouse or at a lire, feels that he ia asaocuv ting with men who are gentle in their ners, respectful and obedient to superiors. ready at any iustaut to hold tha muzxle close against a flame that menaces them with death, aud who would not disgrace tbeir uniform. If he lias the true stuff in him be will soon conform with them in thought, purpose and demeanor, and on every occasion emulata them in seal and honor. Tbe cultivation of good manners and other qualities that constitute a man la taught in au uuobtrusive way. For in stance, the applicant learns the story of tbe nre at i. numbers street and Broadway, years ago, when the employes of a bank rushrxl into the street, leaving tl6O,0(J0 in cash on tbe counters. Tbe firemen ran in. gathered the money together, threw it into tbe safe, and locked the safe door. When the money was taken out and counted only 13 was missiag, and that consisted of silver dollars, which in the excitement bad Drob ably rolled away. Hearing such a story tha applicant of the right material ia vary uaeiy to resolve to uenave witn equal bon esty at every tire to which he is called. ME OF NATTJRAX COCBAOK. ' "Men are natural cowards where there's a tire," said Capt. McAdama to ma. "put all liarnum's wild animals in that lot over there and then drop a child among 4 bam, and in nine cases out of tenths father of that child will go In after It. Bat 1st then be an alarm of fire in tbe house in tha night time and that same man will run into tha street and leave his child behind. I have never seen a man suffocated at a fire with a child in his arms, but I hava seen women lying dead from suffocation with a child in each arm. Tbe man's first thought ia to get into the street when ha hears tbe house is on fire. Tbe woman's first thought is ner cnuaren. Tbe probationers are, no doubt, naturally courageous, and each one resolves to be aa heroic as any man who haa won tha Ben nett medal; but when there ia a fire and they "go in" with the fireman their true metal is shown. The captain's eye Is on them. If they waver he sees it, but if they resolutely hold their facer to the fire and obey orders, no matter if the smoke is thick enough to be cut and if their teeth are chat tering loud enough to be heard, above the crackling or the names, he knows that they are of the right stuff and reports favorahly upon them. If an applicant cannot stand the smoke, which, Capt. McAdama aavs. "feels in your throat as if some fellow were trying to force you to swallow a baseball," oe is aroppea irom the list. Epoch.

A Ifill Owac Marries a Lawyer, Adopts Bar CUaat aad Kseepes a Verdict. "How did yon come to marry?" The Question was asked by an acquaintance of a prosperous looking man of about 40 yean ot age, who amt near a window in the sit ting room at the Ulrard. . "Well," ha replied, after a little hesita tion, "I'll tell you. -At he age of 85 my father died. Being his sole heir, my mother having died previously, I found upon my hands a roUtog mill in the venter of the state. I took full charge of the works, bnt didnY ran them six months when a little orphan boy employed there was seriously injured, in fact, crippled lor life. He was under the legal -age, and, besides, the acci dent was the result of a gross piece of neg- llgenoe on tne part ot my superintendent. "The child soon obtained friends to help him. They brought suit and . obtained Va,0ub damagee. I had retained the best counsel that I could find, but It availed nothing. Of course we appealed, but the supreme court put their seal of approval upon the finding of the. lower tribunal. One of the particularly curious things about the matter was that the child was represented by a female lawyer, compara tively young and very attractive and en tertaining. . . "Now the entire plant, mortgaged as it was, was worth otuy about 00,000, so when the judgment had been satisfied and other costs and chargea had been paid I found myself in very tightened circumstances. - "Now cornea the curious part of the story. The female lawyer shortly after tbe case bad been finally settled adopted the boy. Sharp trick, ehf Well, mine waa sharper. Six months after I met the lady at a recep tion. 1 must confess that her charms com pletely captured me, and I waa not long in discovering that I waa in love. - Certain eirenmstanoea which I need not mention led me to at least hope that my feelings were reciprocated. I lost no time in pro posing, and to my Infinite delight was ac cented. We were married about eighteen months after the trial, and you can rest as- anred that from the first I was very much attached to our little adopted son." And be looked into the faces ot his auditors and smiled knowingly. Philadelphia Press. , " . ' Tbe Aerophor. In weaving sheds a humid atmosphere is of equal importance, otherwise there is a continual breaking of threads and other prejudicial occurrences. The necessary -diffusion of moisture has hitherto been se emed at the expense of the comfort, and even tha health -of the factory hands, by the projection of steam .into, tbe atmos phere, and by dampening the floors with water. ; In either case damage is caused to tbe machinery and buildings, while an un healthy atmosphere ia created iu which the operatives are obliged to work. In or der to obviate all this the aerophor has been Invented by a German engineer, and is largely in use in Germany. Tbe aerophor is an apparatus for distributing moisture in tbe form of a very tine water cloud, which may be either cold or warm. Tbe apparatus, which is not large, contains no movable parts, and a single pressure pump can work any number of aeropbore. The contrivance, which is fixed just un der the ceiling at given points, consists of two separate nozzles, one for propelling tbe air by creating an induced current, and the other for moistening it. . A jet of water under pressure is projected through a hori zontal uozzle into a casing in which then is a vertical OD&le. The jet from tbe hori zontal nozzle causes the induced current of air to act upon the water entering the casing at Its upper part through the verti cal nozzle. The water is passed Into tbe atmosphere in the form of a fine diffusive cloud, the large drops of water being caught aud retained by the apparatus. The aero phor will only project into tbe atmosphere such particles ot water as are capable of being absorbed immediately, so that dum- aie to the machinery or fabric 18 impossible. In tbe same way, the atmosphere not being super-saturated, there ia no injury to health. London Times. Educate the Girl. "Educate the girls," says an exchange. "and tbe boys will soon be there." They will, indeed, if the girts an tolerably good looking. And they won't wait until the coarse of instruction is fully completed either. 1 have known a young man to get more than half through his courting be fore he thought to ask his girl whether Bbe had any education or not. So it won't do to depend too much on such maxims as the above; they are apt to mislead. Should the father of an attractive daughter defer her education, thinking tbat tbe boys would keep away in cousequence, be would find that he had made a mistake. They will come just as readily as they would were shea whole female seminary of learn ing. Then, on the other hand, if you push the education of a homely, disagreeable girl with the utmost diligence, will the boys "be theref" Not much they won't. They will go around the corner and sit np with the pretty girl who never saw the inside of a school house in her life. This is perhaps wrong, but it is the way the world goes witn tbe young and thoughtless. When Adam was courting the fair Eve, did he in quire what seminary she graduated from? Lna ne examine her in arithmetic Enslish grammar, logic, geography and the use of the globesf Of course he didn't. He didn't can a cent whether she knew beans or not. She wasn't educated, and yet Adam was then, Eli. Education is a very good thing for girls to have, but you can't bank on it altogether in winning husbands.
