His Newspaper Story of the Last Pays o.: the Commune, One morning after the siege of Paris, when the city was believed hi London to be Btill In the hands of the com­ mune, Sir John Bobiuson. manager of the Dally News of London, readied his office to find the late Archibald Forbes lying on the floor asleep, his head on a postoffice directory, while the printers were hard at work on his manuscript, the story of ‘‘Paris In Flames." n most vivid description of the last, days of the commune. “Forbes had telegraphed from Dover announcing his coming," said Sir John Robinson, “ the printers had been wait­ ing, and thus the country heard of those terrible days for tbo first time. “London was ablaze with excitement Bouycrle street was Impassable through the newsboys shrieking for copies, and in parliament Mr. Gladstone was ques­ tioned that afternoon and could only say he hoped the story was exagger ated. “When Forbes wakened from his slumber nmld nil this turmoil what n spectacle he was! His face was black with powder, his eyes red and In flamed, his clothes matted with clay and dust. He wnB n dreadful picture He had boon compelled to assist the communists in defending a triangular space upon which three detachments of the Versailles troops were firing and had actually taught the citizens how to build a barricade.” By aid of dummy dispatches address­ ed to Lord Granville and the queen Forbes escaped from this threatening triangle and wrote all the way to Eng­ land, being the solitary passenger on the mall boat A poor furnace Is not only a source o f discomfort, but causes ill health, and wastes your fuel and your money.

THE GOLD WAS THERE, But Mark Twain Missed It by Just One Pad cf Water, Wills Steve GilSls, a printer of whom he was fend, Mark Twain went up Into Caiavcra'i cmmty to a cabin on Jackass bill, -wlsera Stove’s brother-■ Jim, a lovable, picturesque character (the “Truthful James” of Bret Harte), owned mining claims. Mark decided to spend tils vacation Sti pocket min­ ing and soon added that aeieneo to bis store of knowledge. It was a halcyon, happy three mouths that fee lingered there. Quo day with Jim Glllls ho was following the specks of gold that led to a pocket somewhere up the hill when a chill, dreary rain set In. Jim was washing and Clemens was carry- big water. The “color” became better and better as they ascended, and Gll­ lls, possessed with the mining passion, would have gone on regardless of the rain. Clemens, however, protested and declared that each pail of water was his last. Finally he said in bis delib­ erate, drawling fashion: “Jim, I won’t ear*y any more water. This work is too disagreeable. Let’s go to the house .and wait till it dears up.” GUlLs had just taken out a pan of earth. “Bring one more pail; Sam," Implead­ ed. “I won’t do It, Jim! Not a drop! Not If I knew there was a million dollars In that panl” They left the pan standing there and went over to Angel’s camp, which was nearer than their own cabin. The rain kept on, and they sat around the grocery and barroom smoking and tell­ ing stories to pass the time Meanwhile the rain had washed away the top of the pan of earth left standing on the slope of Jackass hill and exposed a, handful of nuggets— pure gold. Two strangers had come along and, observing It, had sat down to wait until the thirty day claim notice posted by Jim Gillls should ex­ pire. They did not mind the rain—not with that gold in sight—and the min­ ute the thirty days were up they fol­ lowed the lead a few pans farther and took out $20,000 In all. It was a good pocket. Mark Twain missed It by one pall of water,—Chicago Post. INSURANCE MAPS. Handy Guides For Underwriter# In Fixing Premium Rates. Many persons must have noticed when making application for Are in­ surance that it Is the practice of the underwriter to examine certain maps before he will flx tile rate of premium or accept a risk on the property of­ fered. His lithographic surveys mark­ ed off In diagrams of red and yellow and other colors .are always in evi­ dence, sometimes bound securely iu dozens of large volumes, on other oc­ casions laid conveniently in piles of loose sheets for handy reference. Few persons realize, ‘ however, that these maps contain all the information which the underwriter desires to know about the building he is asked to in- sure and that in most instances more matters are explained to him by a single glance than the applicant could make even, though he be the owner of the property. As a matter of fact the details set forth are most explicit. The map- maker has managed by colors, charac­ ters and signs to give a full description of the construction, equipment and oc­ cupation of the building, everything which over fifty years of this sort of surveying has proved to bo of any pos­ sible interest to the Insurance man. It is so .completes for instance, that an agent In New York city can readily form a good Idea of the character of a risk situated In some town in Missouri or California; or, vice versa, agents In towns In these western states can like­ wise tell the character of a risik In Now York city.—Cassler’s Magazine. Pelting on tyothing. Away up In the air, far beyond tbo mountain tops, the great condors will bang poised as motionless as if perch­ ed on solid rock. True, their wings aro outstretched, but even through glasses not the slightest motion is per­ ceptible, They remain In this position for many minutes, sometimes for an hour, making n careful scrutiny Of ev­ erything below them in their search for prey. Then, with a slight tilting of the wings, they flap slowly away, os; haring found what they were seek­ ing, dart like a bullet toward It. The eagle, hawk and other species have this same faculty of poising apparent­ ly on nothing. Banked Rails. In rounding a curve the tendency of the weight of a train is invariably to shift to the outside wheels. To counteract this tendency the outer rail of Ct curve Is raised on n higher level than the inside, the elevation being In an exact proportion to the sharp­ ness of the curve as determined by the 1 f rinelplc3 of engineering. If both rails of a curved track were of exactly , the same elevation a train would not ; daro round it at high Speed. Tender Hearted Youths.
