It is not generally nnderstood in this eoantry that in flcrmiiny, Fmnoo and Italy priests are liable to military duty, OS <vell as all other classes of tho popnintion. In Germany they are nsnnlly aKsigncd to service in tho hospitnb, but in Franco ond Italy they aro compelled to go into tbo ranks.    	
In five years surprising ohnngcs often occur in pnblio sentiment. In 1890 tbo TopruH ntation of Surdoii's "Thermidor" was stopped in Paris alter two performances because of the tnmiilt among tho auiiiouoe. Now tbo same play has been produood tbero at tho Forte St. Martin Theater without any excitement.
For tho first timo in eighty years tbo results of the competition for the Person prize for tbo best rendition of a passage of Shakespeare in Qruck by Cambridge (Euglan.l) stndonts havo been so poor that tho examiners de¬ cided not to award tho prize. Tbe Chancellor's medal for an English poem on tbo subject of "Tho Mar¬ quis ot Montrose" has also beeu with¬ held.
Smoking out an obstinate jnror is a new way ot arriving at a verdict which was suoocasfally tried by eleven good men and truo iu Hartford, Conn., a few days ago, acoordiug to tho Times. Tho obstinate jnror stood ont (or a long time, and his will was only con- qnered when ho became physicallv prostrated by tbe volumes ot smoko that filled tho jnry room from the cigars, pipes and cigarettes ot the eleven other jurymen.
New York'* philanthropic pawn¬ broker shop is a fluaneial and moral success. It was organized to resono tbo deserving poor from the three- per-cent-a-montb money lenders. Last year it had 35,0;iH cuatomers, 23,879 of whom redeemed tbeir pledges. A total ot over 8600,000 was lent at ono percent a month, with the result that that the institution made a Bet profit ot between six nnd seven por oenL, aud a great amount of good was douo and ¦nlTering relieved. Thero is a hint in this entorpriso tor otbcr cities thau New York, adda tbo San Fraucisoo Chroniole.
One ot perhaps many littlo consid¬ ered ways iu which tha fureittt. of tbo country are being eaten np is iu sup¬ plying timber tor railway trestle work. Thero are two thousand miles of treetlo strneturu in tho United States, acoording to an estimate by tho Forestry Division. Tbis trestle work has to bo replaced entirely evory nine yeara, on an average, and every year timber amoanting to'iOO,000,000 feet, board measure, is used for tbis purpose. Nearly all tho timber is ent from tbo largcdt and finest trees. Tho auuniil expenditure on this work is estimated at about $7,01)0,000.
The trolley car aud tho bicyclo are credited witb being mainly res(>ou«- blo for the remarkable fact, stato.I in tho Dopartiiicut .it Agrienlture to- ports, tbat tbo vuliio of tbo bLir.i.iH and mules in this eoantry decreaiuxl by almost ono-bilf between 1892 and thu end of last yonr. Tho aggregate decline iu the value of horses is put down at $500,000,000 and of mnlcs 880,000,000. Tho stories that have come from Wcsteru raoges lately ec^m to boar out t^e figure* in general. A Lewiston (Idaho) newspapor a fow days ago spoke of the homely but onoe highly necessary oayu«e as being s "pest and a nuiaaocj" in that region, and rejoiced over the alvoot of a company seeking 5:100 ciiyusen to sup ply a rendering ostablisbiu.'at.

A IIKRO
T tbe dead of nigbt tbero wns u cry; "Fir... lire!"
Eveu in tbo great city, whero tbou- Biiuils are nt band to render ai.l, it is a terrible cry ut tbat hour. Uut on a lonely plnutntion huw iuexiiresi-ibly awful!
"Fire, fire, firo!" Il rang tbrough tbu wi.le bnllp, an.l was oeboc,l from tbe Colored quai ter, lu uverj viiriety ol tbo tones of horror and alarm.
Tbo mintrusu of tbu miinsion, await- ening at tho cry, sprang from be.!, and hurriedly bugau to .Irosi", gnziui.' around bewildered. For a moment sbo wns conscious only that ber hus- bau.i was aliHuut. She was recalled to something lilic herself by tbo shrieks of tbu maid who bad slept in tbu room, and wbo, inftead of nisiHting bor toilet, was poiiitiug, witb torrilic.l gesticulations, to tbo ruddj' rellectiou playing against tbu trees lu front uf tho boiiie.
Suddenly, to add to tbo confusion of the scene, the chamber door was Hung open, and a crow,l of female servauts rushed in, lloeking nirrigUtcdIy to¬ gethor, like n covey piirsuu.l by tbe sportsniao. Thoy closed around Mrs, Stewart's bo,l, scroaming, weeping, wringing their bunds un,l dojinviuK ber of what littlo presence ol miml hod been luft,
"Oh, missus, wc shall bo burned to death, we shall, all of ns. The fire has caught the ctaircase. Tbe blessed Lord above bab mercy on us!" These, and iimllar exolamntious, filled tbe air and distraoled ber attention.
Meantime the conllagriition becamo more serious each minute. Hud tbat terrified group listened they couM have beard tbe roar of tbe ilamcs iu tbe ball outsiile, and tbo crackling sound that announced tbo ajiproacb of the tire to tbo woodwork uear tbo staircase, warning them that, if l.'ioy woul.l save their livop, tbeir Higbt must be instant. Uut tbey ouly bu.l- dlod tho closer to,i!ctber, sobbing, moaning, cmbraoiug onu another frautically.
All at once a man dnsbed into the room, witb agitated faoo ami ilruss disordered. 'rbrnsling iisi.le tbo ter¬ rified m.iids, bu hastily approuubud bis mistress.
"Fly," be cried, breathlessly, "tbis moment, or you'll bu too bite." .\iul glancing rapidly around thu room, bo matched tho rich cover from a center- table, whioh stjod in tbo middle of tho apartment, cover.',! with bunks, pretty trifles au.l tl.nvers m vas.'s. This bo tbr.'w aroun,1 bis Hjislr.iSH, ex¬ claiming, "It will keep the firo from catching.    Come."
The sisibt of bis face hal reassured his mistresH. .lubawus ub.iut ber own age, hail been born iu ber father's family, and ba.l always showutlio most devoted attaobmeut to bor.seIf per-. BoUHlly, Above all the servants on the plantation, bo was distinguished for a strict, religious performance oT his duties, fur <luba was consistently pious. He was also shrewd, an.l rea.ly iu every emergency, and Mrs. Stewart felt that he wouKi save ber, even at the peril of bis life.
Jubs, ovon while (.peaking, hal suizt.l her baud uu.l .lrag„'e,l hor to ward till' staircase. liut now a gust of wind ilrovc snob vcbiiue'* of thick', black smoke t.iward Iheia. that sbe was almost sulTocated, aud she pause.I, unable to proceed. It wns uot a time to besitiitr, so .Tulia, snatching her in his arms as lu' woul.l a eliil.l, nnl drnggici; th.. e.iver entir.ly over li.r fac, dasbu.l into tho rolling volume of smoke, and dowu thu great stair¬ case.
Ho was not a moment too soou. Scarcely ba 1 be reiebeil the bottom, followed by tbo atl'riabte.l maids, b.'¬ fore tbe passage was close.1 entirely by a deurcwall of tlaiue. Neither be nor tbo female servauti>. inleed, esooped entirely nobiirt. Hut tbe table-cov.r effectually pr,.lret,',l Mrs. St.'wurt.
Juba hal searee.y, however, placed bis mistress safely on tb.' lawn, be¬ fore sbo startel up, eryin^-. "Wh.re is Ihe baliv? Who has seen tbe ehll.l V t)h I it 18 in Ibo bonse yet." An.l she would havo rushed t.iwar.l the bU/.iug doorway if she had uot been instantly aud (oroil.ly .letained.
Tbe servants lo.ike.l nt .ach other in dismay.     In tbe suddenness witti wbcb the contlagrntion bi.l spres,],   nn.l   in the excilsmuut of   their mistress' dan¬ ger, nobody ha.1 thought of the chil.l. It was an only one,   a   boy ahout   two years old, who   slept witb   his   nurse, or "mammy," as i'lie w,t- eall.'.l lu Ibe ' bouschol.i, in i I'.ielv  r.i.ini in the   up- \ per (tory.

exhausted by ber straggles to escape, determined Juba to try at least to res¬ cue bis young master.
"I will go, raisaus," he said ; "don't cry no more."
Ho looked aronn.I as ho spoko for some means of scaling t'ne second story. There was no ladder, and only ono staircase, but tbo bougb of an orna¬ mental tree, that overshadowed tbo bouse, fortunately held out a moanaiof access to a bold heart an.l a strong arm. Not stoppin? oven to bear bis mistress' thanks, be clambered up the tree, ran ont on tho limb, nu,l drop¬ ping on tho roof, disappeared within the tlwelling.
How breotblcss wore tbo moments that ensued, Tbo flames were spread¬ ing witb frightful rapidity. The eaves of the building began to smoke, show¬ ing that tbe lire witbin bad loaobcd the ro'.>f, and soon after tbe whole line of tbem Hashed into conflagration. Meantime tbo lurid element poured out from tbe windows, ran upward lioking tbo oombustiblo front aud streamed in a waving, dazzling pyra¬ mid high over tbo top of tbe mansion, far into the bluo firmament. Millioai of spurks, accommpaniod b.y volumis of rolling smoke, sailed down thu sky beforo the breeze, completely obscur¬ ing the heavens at intervals, though occasionally tbis thick canopy, jartially blowing aside, the calm moon was seen peacefully shining .l(jwn tbrough tbo rent, in strange contrast to the other terrible scene. Tbe roar of tho oon- llagration bad now booomo intensely loud ; ami, to add to tbe horror, there began to bo board Ibo awful souud of timbers falling within tbe bouse.
Mrs. Stewart ha,l watched the firo in silence, ber bands clasped and lips parted ever since Juba had disappeared within the house. Each moment np- poareil an 'ago to her. At last tbe suspen-e, thus lengthening out inter¬ minably, as it seemed, becamo intoler¬ able.
Obi it is vain," sbo crie.l, making a new effort to rush into tbo Hamo.s, "be cannot lind my boy. Let mo go myself.    For the love of Ood—"
But at that icstaut, through the i-moko tbat almost bi.i the only window tbat was not already on fire, appeared tho faithful Juba, holding aloft the in¬ fant. Tbo Ilamcs were all around, and in u moment moro would overtake him. Ilo mado a ropid gesture for somo ono to aiM-roacb.
Four of tho males, comprehending liis with, snatched ft bbiakot an.J rushed promptly forward. Tbo beat was intolerable, but tbey disregar.lcd it, aud standing beneath tbo window, witb tho blnnkct outstrctobed, tbey shoute.l to Juba to throw the chiKl .town to tbem. Ho bad, however, an¬ ticipated tbem. The infant fell whilo they were speaking, was canght safoly iu tbo blanket, nnd was hurried immo- diat.^ly to Mrs. .Stewart, wbo clasped it to bor bosom with frantic delight. Tbo whole was tho work of less timo than wo bavo taken to describe it.
But simnltanoously a terrilio crash was board, that made tbo very earth trumble beneath tbe spectators; a huge ouUiiun of smoke shot up towar.l tbe sky, from where tho roof had been; ami, as it propelled from a forco pump, n gush of intense flame fol¬ lowed, leapini; fur up into tho highest bonven.
Tbo crowd, one and nil, gasped for breath, Tben came a deep, long drawn sigh. For tbo root and floors had evidently fallen iu ; and tho faith¬ ful .Tuba, alas! was nowhere to bo seen.
A dozen persons rushed toward tho bnil.liu;;, ami, uutil driven back by the beat, sloo.l close by tho window where he ha,l been lafest visible. Thoy bu,l boiled to Cnil bim there. They bud llstlero/1 Ibomselves that tbero ha.l beeu timo enough for bim to leap.
But it was nuw plain this had not been Ibe case. He most proliably felt tbo flo.ir giving way beforo bo threw tbn child, aud if HOlbis oxplnined the cause of his baste. Thoy said tbis to ach otber as tbey fell back.
But there was littlo time for words. | Senreely bail tbis thought been ex- j cbangeil before tberu wiis another | crasli, and, with a muuientary waving j
otion, almost tho ..ntiro building fell iu, so tbat what   bad   been   a  stately
rtusion an hour before was now only u shapeless ]iile of blazing timbers.
Tho shouts, the exclamations, Iho sobbings whicb hal lilleil tbo ttir Imt iii.stiiut liefor.', eeas..! agaiu at this appalling sDCCtacle. Neighbor looked at neighbor, aghast with horror, tbe lurid light a.ldiug a wild, spectral look ach enijuiring fac.;. 'I'bon a sim- ultaiieuus cry roso from tbo crowd, that Jnbn nnd tho old nurse wcro burie.l in tbe ruins.
Bat su.ldenly from out thoflomoand smoke, in the .liructiou where Juba bad bist been seen, what seemcl to ba a buinnn liguro began to emerge, crawliui/ painfully on bauds and knuits. \ human figure, yet crusboj almost out ot tbe ahape of humouity, but still
tb life in it, for it moved.
And bark, a voice; a voico cumiug from that mangled body.    What ditl it
Xot w,.rds of pain, bnt words of joy. Wor.ls sueli as tbo inartvrs Wsed at tbo stake,     ".lalleliijabi   U'alleltjjftb!"

Oreen stones are tbo fashion just now; of those, of course, first cuiues the emeralJ, for greeu diamonds ami greeu sappHires aro loo rAre and small for modern jewelry. Nothing cnu cinal a really liuo emeral.l—rich, dark, velvety and gloa.sy—yot it is said that a flaw ur fault always lies iu tbo stone, aud an emerald without a flaw is priceless. Neitt to eineral.ls como peridots (tbo French namo for Indian chrysolite). Those stones aro particularly soft and tbey arc dilUeult to cut an.l polish. I'eridots, when really fino in size, depth nn.l olur, nro lovely stones. Thoy are n eloar, deep leaf-green, showing almost yel¬ low boside tbo bluo tone of color of tbe emerald. Few peridots nru nuw brought iuto tbo market, nud tboso sol.l are usually old stones recut nud reset iu mo.lern fashion.
Both emeralds nnd peridots aro "step cut," wilh a largo broad table of center space. Tbo chrysopbaso is Iiretty, but lacks depth uf coloring. Tho reasou tbo emerald and peridot make lovely ornaments is that tbey can be set roun.l wilh sparkling dia- nioiiils to show off tbeir lovely color¬ ing, but palo stones liko tho chryso- ]iliase or beryl bavo lo bo set plain by themselves, ns tliO}' will uot bear tho contrast.

"Would you rather have stylo or beauty'i'" is a question often asked among women, and the answer is almost iuvariably in favor ot style, while men quite as decideilly vole iu favor of beauty ns a luatler ol course.
A pretty fuee alouo counts for but little, especially nt a ball or any other social function if tbo owner is other¬ wise dowdy or badly dressed. An ug¬ ly woman with a good figure aud dis¬ tinguished carriage will give tbe im¬ pression of good looks, nnd quite eclipse a bennly who has neither, eveu to niasculino perception, for a uiiiu feels tbe effect of style, although un¬ able to delino what it really is, uml often iiuwiltingly calls it beauty.
"A tall, slight woninn can make any¬ thing ^f herself she chooses," is a say¬ ing iiiioteil from u grent French drei-s- inaker, wbich bass great deal of truth in it, nlthouKb it goes without saying that in a.l.lition a woman must have other qualities tu bring about tbis rC' suit.
Sho must have goo'l taste, percep¬ tion and tlio ^reat knack of puttiUL; on hor clothes' well, which, by Ibe way, is an art that is not understood by uino women uut uf ton, even the famous Worth acUuowlodging that to show really lo advantage his gowus must bo woll worn.
"That is what tries me more thau anything else," bo said ono day to n favorite customer, "to know that my most artistic ciinee|iliuns are depeml- eur upon others, ami may be com¬ pletely spoilo.l by tbo way in wbiob tbev are worn."
A plain woman, therefore, need never feel discouraxo.l if she is clever. By stu.lying hersell uud her possibili- tiei sbe cau produce a result wbich will almost, if not quite, oijual beauty, and she has tbis great alvantago that her attractions never fa,bi, and are even apt to increase.rather than lessen, as she grows older.
"A jir.'tty woman is loved for a while, but au .ugly womnn forever," is a French poying, which must be true, as it has pa-se.l inlo n proverb, and whicb is comfortinij lo those wbo have not tbe "fatal gilt ot beauty." —New York Tribune.   .
