Woman's Mirror Sense. New Century Path. Professor Otis T. Mason, in a recent article, declares that women have at least one sense that men do not possess, and he proves It. He calls it the "mirror sense." He says, among other things, that woman are constantly working small miracles. "The girl who threads with ease the needle that has no eye that a man can find is exercising a faculty that has been handed down to her for u thousand gen erations." "Another marvel." he says, "is the clev erness of a woman who, sewing a bone button on a piece of cloth, hits the liole every time with her needle from the back. A man would strike the button and not the-opening three t fines out of four." He also refers to the fact that a woman can put up her back hair without seeing It at all, a feat which no man could pos sibly accomplish! But the greatest of miracles. In the professor's eyes, is the way in which a woman handles a hair pin. "It is to a woman," he says, "the master kev to all mechanical problems; but where Is the man that is able to uso ltv To him even the art of pinning hair with it is a puzzle!" AT T1IH 1IOTKLS.

Brooklyn EagU FIREMEN ARE HURT Burning "Wall .Collapses on Heads of Three. CLOSE CALL FROM DEATH Captain and Two Hosemen Painfully Bruised and Cut at Incendiary Fire In Barn Missed Force of the Crash. I Three llremen had narrow escapes from j death in a fire that totally destroyed a large barn belonging to E. J. Clark, at Twenty-first and Lovejoy streets, at "1:30 o'clock this morning. They were Captain Boardman. of Hose No. 6. and Hosemen Frank Zellner and Arthur Pullam. of the same company. The three men were caught by falling walls, and in addition to being burned about the face and hands, were liadly bruised before they could extricate them selves. All were removed from the scene of the fire to the Good Samaritan Hospital by Assistant Fire Chief Young, In his wagon. Fortunately, Dr. Herbert AV. Cardwell was available on short notice, and he at tended the injured firemen Immediately upon their arrival at the hospital. It is not thought any of them are seriously hurt; The fire was of incendiary origin, or the j result of carelessness upon the part of : two men who were In the barn, for they j were seen by several jeop!e to run from i the vicinity Immediately after the tlames bogan devouring the structure.

This is thought to have been the work of the men guilty of setting the lire. The first call was supposed to be for the purpose of sending the tlremen out of the way. in order to give the culprits time to escape. There was a high wind at the time, and when the firemen reached the scene the llnmes had enveloped the building which was a large frame structure. The men, under Assistant .Chief Young, were fight ing hard, when the walls collapsed and caught Captain Boardman and the two hosemen under a part of the debris. Prompt work on the part of Assistant Chief Young and others saved the three men from at least serious injury, if not from death. He then conveyed them to the hospital. They -were burned about the head, face aud hands, and were bruised, but not seriously. It Is thought they will recover Immediately. It was at first thought the firemen were more seriously hurt, and Patrolman Row ley snt in a call for a wagon to Police Headquartere. Captnln Bailey dispatched Acting Sergeant Carpenter with Police men Robson and Price, but after the long distance was traveled It was found the men had already been taken to the hos pital. The barn was a total loss. It was nec essary to detail firemen to keep watch for fully an hour after the fire was under control, in order to keep sparks from set ting numerous other tires. The wind was blowing a gale, and it was difficult to protect adjoining residences, but no other fires resulted. The police today will en deavor to locate the men who caused the blaze. FOUND A CAVE OF SNAKES. Reptiles Were Eyeless, and Were Re leased by Dynamite. Sedalia (Mo.) Capital. During a recent dry spell Uie branch from which the stock on the farm of Abl Jah Miller, of Morgan County, Missouri, Is watered went dry, and it became a problem as to how to water the stock. The branch Is fed by a aprlng. which bubbles out of a cliff on the farm, and a thin stream of water still trickled down the face of the cliff, though not In quan tity sufficient to supply the needa of the stock. It occurred to Mr. Miller that he might get a larger supply- of water by blasting out the cliff and bo enlarging the aperture through which the water flowed. Accordingly, the farmer, with his two sons and some of 'the neighbors, drilled holes and set off a charge of dynamite in the face of the cliff. The result exceeded the moat sanguine expectations of the farmer, for the charge blew out a large hole in the cliff and from the aperture thus' enlarged a stream of water burst forth. The current was so swift and the force of the stream so great that the ex ploring party were carried off their feet. When the water had somewhat subsided, it was seen that the charge of dynamite had in its action opened a cave in the cliff and that the "spring" was really the out let of an underground stream flowing out of the cave. The swiftness of the current made the cave difficult of exploration, but the farm er's sons crawled in as far as they could. The cave narrowe rapidly, and within 10 or 12 feet from the opening It Is so low that a man has to crawl on his hands and knees to make any progress. The water which flows from til' cave is cold and clear, and within a few hours after the water was released Miller's stock were In no danger of getting thirsty. The next day one of the farmer's sons went to the cave, thinking to explore It further. He stooped down to get a drink and was astonished to see a wriggling black object come whirling out of the cave, borne on the torrent of water. He followed the stream down a little way to a quieter water and found that the ob ject was a snake about two feet ions, black In color and perfectly formed, save that It was entirely without eyes. The boy caught the snake and. after killing it. carried it to the hoitee. Since that time numbers of the snakes have been washed out of the underground river. . All die within a short time after being exposed to the light. All are of a black ish brown in color, and are like ordinarv snakes, except that they are absolutely without eyes or eye-sockets. The strange phenomenon Is general talk in the neigh borhood, end some of the good folk re fuse to drink the water from the stream in the fear of other strange creatures which they think may Inhabit the under ground river. Beside snakes, the stream occasionally bears to the light flakes of yellow dust, which some of those who ob serve the matter say Is gold. But it is Impossible to tell how far the flakes are carried or whence they came. . H. E. Hackley, Muskegon, Mich. MUSKEGON, Mich, Feb. 10. H. E.

To be a valet to a: beggar sounds an Impossible way of earning- a living; Yet in a recent Police Court case in Lon don it transpired that a man named Webb acted in that capacity to a man without arms, who beu&ed in the streets. Webb stated that his master was "most perticler." bad to be shaved every mprning. and had his teeth brushed three times a day. Webb's wages were 510 a week. The mat. who bites dogs' tails for a llMi-.i? is a well-known character in pai l" of England. The North Country miners have a superstition that, if their puppies' talis are "shortened" with a knife in stead of in the old-fashioned way, their fighting- qualities will be Injured. Only recently a man named Grahame was sent to prison for a month for exer-icsing- this peculiar calling-. An equally odd and cruel profession has been followed by an East End man In London for the past 20 years. He buys bad meat- and doctors It up In such a fashion that It will pass muster when ex posed for sale on the costers' barrows. He carves off all bad portions of a Joint of .beef and washes what Is left with a solution of permanganate of potash. This has the effect of removing the smell of taint and enabling the meat to pass mus ter until some poor woman has taken it home for dinner. Until recently a wooden-limbed man named O'Hara did a brisk business in second-hand legs. Whenever a wooden-legged man or otoer cripple died at the hospital close by where he lived. O'Hara promptly bought up the props and crutches. If the relatives were willing to sell. These he disposed of to other poor patient who were unable to afford the surgical instru ment makers' prices. Wearing the stiffness out of new boots SHERLOCK HOLMES. Is another peculiar calling: yet a London bootmaker has a man who, for a con tiiderution. Is prepared to do this for wealthy customers. He Is kept busily employed, loo. averaging 12 hours' tramp ing daily In and about Hyde Park. Even this occupation, however. Is sur passed In novelty at all events In Its mode of carrying out by that of the man whose profession Is teaching 'gentlemen how to shave. Some years ago this man lost a fairly good situation by reason of a disfigur ing barber's itch, caught at the hands of an uncleanly barber. He got rid of the complaint at last, and took to shaving himself, and now Barber stands at barbers" doors the man's name, curiously enough, is Barber delivering handbills headed. "Why catch the itch? Iarn to shave youreelf." and offering a course of Ies.ons in the art at a moderate fee. He nets $15 a wek. Some commercial travelers earn their incomes In novel ways. None more so. perhaps, than the gentleman whose "line" is selling to the natives of Africa the Idols turned out in such quantities by well-known Birmingham firms. The commonest way to dispose of a god Is to "square with the witch doctor. The savage holds a "palaver," at which he declares the "gods" want propitiating, and this, of course, takes the form of a new god. Another way of booking orders is to steal quietly Into the sacred grove of a village and set up an Idol unobserved. When the natives see it they are paral yzed, and wonder how it got there. Their first act Is to fall down and worship it. Then the smart traveler comes albng with explanations and leaves the village with another sale to his credit. HORSES HATE CAMELS. Circus Man Talks of Singular Antip- athles of Animals. Philadelphia Bulletin. Smoking a clay pipe, the circus actor sat in the Winter training- quarters. Under his supervision a thin boy was learning- to ride erect t,n a quiet horse with a broad, flat buck. "In some towns they won't let us show," said the man, "unless ,we have no camels with us. Camels are a ser ious drawback to shows. Horses are so much afraid of them that lots of towns won't let a camel enter their gates. "A horse won't go near a piece of ground a camel has stood on. The very smell of a camel In the air will make a horse tremble and sweat. And this fear isn't only found occasionally in a horse here and there. It is found in every horse all over the world. "Queer, isn't It? I often wonder why it Is. Cattle hate dogs in the same way. and cats hate dogs so. too. Here, though, we can account for the hatred. Dogs In primitive times fed on cattle, no doubt, and even today, here and there, they kill and feed on kittens. "Horses love dogs. I'm sure I don't know why. Dogs fear no animals but pumas and leopards. You can take a dog- up to a lion's or a tiger's cage and lie will show no fear, but take him up to the cage of a puma or a leopard and he will tremble and moan and slink away out of sight.

The six dogs were strung out In a line 15 yards long. They flew down the straightaway, as If death were at their heels. Xow the scratch dog began to overhaul the leaders, cutting down their advantage a fraction of an inch for every smooth stride. He was a mite of a racer, was this Young Bob a 13-pound dog that looked like a puppy compared with one or two of his rivals of almost greyhound size. Flying paws scattered cinders until a cloud of grayish dust almost obscured the bunch. Half way down the course, and it was easy to see that the handlcapper's work had been skilfully done. The leaders were dropping back, the penalized dogs were creeping up. Wee Young Bob was going like a black bullet, his slender legs were a blur of furious motion. It seemed for an Instant as If he would be pocketed, for the other five dogs were spread out just ln front of him, but he sailed around VITAL WEAKNESS Xiongeit mtabllahed. moat successful and reliable specialists In diseases of 'men. as medical diplomas, licenses nnd newspa per records show.

HIGHEST AWARDS IN EUROPE AND AMERICA 45 the outside without wasting an inch more ground than was necessary, straightened out. cut In between two dogs racing neck-and-neck In front, and locked strides? with them. The manoeuver could not have , been executed wjth prettier skill ir a tiny jockey had been piloting Young Bob. who was racing with his head as well as with his heels. Here was rare handicapping. Indeed, for 20 yards from home a baby-blanket would have covered four of the six whippets. Then Young Bob let out his last link of speed and poked his black nose in front of Duchess and Santqi. When they swept across the chalk line, like a little whirl wind. Young Bob had won the heat by a clear length. Every dog made for his master without slackening speed, and leaped headlong at the particular rag or towel which claimed its frantic allegi ance. Snapping Jaws closed on the fab rics, and. spinning in mid-air from the impetus of their flight, the dogs were lift ed into their masters arms, their teetli fast in the towels which they still wor ried with growling enthusiasm. Young Bob's owner swung him twice around his head and the little dog hung on for dear life. Hawaiian Fish for Aquarium. Xew York Times. The establishment ln San Francisco of a great aquarium Is going to make it pos sible, according to the officials of the Xew York Aquarium, for the local institution to become the greatest institution of the kind on earth. For a long time the cur ators of the Xew York Aquarium have looked forward with a great longing to the time when it would be possible to keep on exhibition in Xew York the mag nificent fish that swarm In the waters of the Pacific, near the coast lines of the Hawaiian Islands. For years it has been impossible to se cure live specimens of the Hawaiian fish because of the distance. The establish ment of the San Francisco aquarium will solve the question, they say, since that institution will act, so to speak, as a re lay station between the aquarium ln Xew York' and Hawaii. The fish will be brought first to the San Francisco aqua rium, where they will be kept long enough to be acclimated. They then will be sent through on the fastest train available to Xew York. Watered. Brooklyn Eagle. A Presbyterian minister, not a thousand miles from Brooklyn, or from Jamaica, either, for that matter, invited one of his deacons to go with him to the golf links and have a game. The deacon knew a little about golf, but could not play well. When the game was under way the dea con, who was making many foozles, when ever he made a bad shot would say "Cro ton." He repeated the word so often in a rather profane tone of voice that the Inln ister said: "Why. deacon, do you say 'Croton' so often?" "Well," said the deacon, "that's the biggest dam I know."
