. The totals of fire loss in this coun
try may signify little to the average
ndnd, but the comparative figures
should mean much. The figures Issued
by the national board of fire underwrit
ers show that the average fire loss per
capita in the United States for the last
five years was $3.02, against 33 cents
for six Eurojiean countries. Including
France, Germany and Austria. It may
be objected perhaps that It Is unfair
to select this particular period for pur
poses of comparison, since both the
Baltimore fire of 1904 and the San
Francisco fire of 1906 are Included in
it. And yet if these two tires, repre
senting about $350,000,000, were de
ducted from the total fire loss of the
country for the five years—which Is
estimated at $1,257,710,955—the total
would be reduced by but little over a
fourth. And the American per capita
loss would remain about six and one-
half times larger than the European.
What is to blame for this great dis
parity? Are we so much more careless
than Europeans? Are European build
ing codes, fire departments and water
supplies from six and a half to ten
times better than those found In the
United States?

Rebecca's father puckered his brows.
“Yes,” returned he, with a humorous
twinkle in his eyes, “ami to think of

joyment out of it to pay costs.”
"Indeed we shall 1 We shall!” re
sponded
Rebecca,
enthusiastically.
Anne's eyes shone, but she said noth
ing.
“And be sure,” added Rebecca's fath
er, "not to bother sister or make Tom
too much trouble.”
The girls were to accompany Rebec
ca’s aunt, whose son Tom, a Cornell
senior, had promised them hls aid in a
“jolly good time.”
“You see,” Rebecca had explained to
Anne, “some of the Cornell sophomores
are at the hotel, and Tom will Intro
duce them all. Oh, what fun we'll
have! But I dread getting ready to go
—all the sewing—don’t you?”
At that Anne's eyes lost their spar
kle, for into the prospective fun her
father had reluctantly interjected a
certain If to her mother.
"We can afford to let Anne go If
there are no extra demands for clothes.
Business is dull this year.”
“No,” returned Anne's mother, “Just
a substantial walking suit and a few
shirt-waists, which I shall make my
self.” And for Anne the matter was
settled.
Across tlie street she reported to the
Browns on the dress question, and Mr.
Brown smiled hls relief. “That's good!
Neither can I afford to tog Becky here
out to any extent; anyway, you're
nothing but girls. You don’t need many
dresses.”
Rebecca and her mother exchanged
glances; for Rebecca the matter was
not settled.
"I can manage, I think,” Mrs. Brown
said, with a worried air, after the head
of tlie house had gone. "Of course you
must go well dressed. We will do the
sewing ourselves and begin right away.
Your father will not notice what is
going on If I ask him for a little money
now and then.”
Anne wiggled uneasily and coughed
loudly, that she might not hear, but Re
becca chipped her hands Joyfully.
“Summer clothes are not expensive,”
she cried, eagerly, “and we can make
them look beautiful by putting lots of
work on them!” Then she looked coni-
mlseratlngly at
the uncomfortable
Anne. "You know there are all Tom's
friends. Couldn't you get a little mon
ey at a time out of your father?” Re
becca was ns honest and sensible ns her
training would allow her to be.
Anne rose. There was an indignant
ring In her tone, but all she said was,
“It's lovely of father to give me the
month's outing without the new
clothes!”
Then she turned to Rebecca, impul
sively frank. "Anyway, Becky, I’m not
so becoming to pretty dresses as yon
arc, so It's easier to go without.”
“O Anne!” protested Rebecca, weak

A few days later Anne tqet Rebecca
hurrying home with hrr hand* full of
thread and Insertion.
"O Anne,” she cried, "mother and I
are maktflg me the sweetest \llmity for
August! Not expensive, you know, but
we are going to make it look lovely by
putting lota of work on it.”
They did, and it proved as lovely as
Rebecca represented it. Auue ran
across the street to view It a week
later. She tried the front door, but It
was locked. She rang the bell, but only
a distant and curious rumble answered
her. The back door yielded to her
push, and the rumble became more dls-
tin t.
"They've taken the sewing machine
upstairs,” thought Anne, “where call
ers can’t disturb them.”
Tucking her tennis racket under her
arm, she climbed the stairs, and came
on two workers puttlug the last bit of
lace on the dimity.
“It's a beauty,” declared Anne.
"Isn’t it?” Rebecca's tone was rap
turous. She whirled Anne round, facing
the big mirroy, and held the dainty
waist up in front of her.
“Why,” ejaculated Anne, In surprise,
“it's becoming to me!” Owing to her
being “almost sallow,” Anne was al
ways surprised to find that dainty
clothes looked well on her. “How 1
wish----- " she cried, and then paused
abruptly.
“Can’t you?” asked Rebecca, under-
standlngly.
"I know your father
would----- ”
Anne turned from the glass. Inter
rupting gayly. “Yes, to the extent of a
walking suit and shirt waists.”
Rebecca drew a long breath of satis
faction as she looked about the room.
“This,” she explained, indicating a
white fabric on the bed, "is organdy
that we're going to put over that old
blue taffeta of mine. Yes, it's got to be
all made over, but won't the combina
tion be sweet? And this is linen for n
suit. And this Is dotted mull for a lit
tle afternoon gown. We can't have too
many thin things, you know.”
“Yes,” said Anne, soberly.
She sighed as she crossed the street;
but ten minutes later she recrossed It
excitedly, the cause of the sigh forgot
ten, and burst into the sewing room.
“Becky,” she cried. “Will Dunmore
says we're going to have two boat clubs
and races, and the girls can belong- He
wants us on hls side!”
“A boat club!” returned Rebecca,
promptly. “O dear no, Anne! Withall
this sewing I can't waste any time boat
ing! Mother has Just decided that I
must have a cream-colored mohair for
mornings, in addition to the other
things."
Anne twisted the knob of tlie door
and hesitated. “But. Becky, what about
tennis? We play the first game this
afternoon----- "
Rebecca Interrupted with a firm
shake of the head. “You know, Anne,
we’ll get all that at the lakes, rowing
and tennis and golf. Now I can't spend
the time; I must sew.”
As the weeks passed that expression,
“I must sew,” became the only reply
Rebecca gave, because the cream-col
ored mohair proved but the first of a
number of additions to her pretty ward
robe. Tennis, croquet, boating, after
noon walks, evenings with her friends
were all given up.
“I must sew,” said Rebecca; and one
by one the dainty, filmy garments were
hung away fresh and unworn for Au
gust and the big hotel.
“I must sew,” said Rebecca ; and her
cheeks grew hollow, while dark circles
came under her eyes, for summer was
also overworking that year, July heat
prevailing in June and August sultri
ness in July.
It was one hot afternoon In the mid
dle of July that Rebecca threw open
the wardrobe in the sewing room for
Anne’s inspection, saying, in a tone
weary but full of satisfaction. “Only
see, Anne, all the pretty things I have
to wear!”
"Indeed, they are pretty,” assented
Anne, heartily.
Then her eyes traveled thoughtfully
from the contents of the wardrobe to
Rebecca's cheeks and on to Mrs.
Brown, bending over a shirt waist, on
which she was laying insertion. Mrs.
Brown's hands trembled nervously ns
she worked, and occasionally she
paused to press her hand over her eyes.
During one of these pauses she asked
listlessly, “Have you begun to get your
new things, Anne?”
Anne still looked thoughtful. "You
know all I'm to have Is a walking suit
and shirt waists. Mother is working
on a shirt waist.”
Mrs. Brown bent a compassionate
gaze on her, while Rebecca murmured,
“I supposed, Anne, that when you came
to think hard about going you'd
have----- ” She paused. Rebecca had a
habit of implying the end of a sentence
by a glance or a tone.
"No," replied Anne, simply.
She walked across the street slowly,
and came on her mother also putting
Insertion in the front of a shirt waist,
and her mother looked warm and tired.
"Mother,” said
Anne, decidedly,
“there's enough trimming on that waist
now.” Abruptly she took the insertion
out of her mother's hands, adding anx
iously, "It's nice now out on the porch.”
Then. Irrelevantly, “you Just ought to
see Mrs. Brown.”
Mrs. Tupper looked up Inquiringly.
“Mrs. Brown? Why. really, I've scarce
ly caught a glimpse of her all summer.
But I suppose she will let her friends
see her again after you and Becky go. ’
They started the first of August. Mrs.
Tupi>er went down to the station with
Anne. They were preceded by an ex
press wagon in which a little flat-
topped one-story trunk rattled round In
conspicuously behind Its heavy, three-
story, |ron;bóHt*d neighbor.
' Just as the train drew Into the
tlon Rebecca entered alone, bearing fls
umbrella and two hat boxes.
“Mother has a headache," she gx
plained, adding listlessly, “and so
have 1.”
During the Journey to the northward
the owner of the three-story trunk lay
back in her seat, a wet handkerchief
across her eyes, while Anne, her fresh,
eager face In the open window, kept her
informed of the varied outside attrac
tions.
Several days later a wail from the
Twin Lakes arrived by mail. It was
directed t<f Mrs. Brown, but Mrs.
Brown was In no condition to read It.
She lay In a darkened room, suffering
with inflamed nerves and inflamed
eyes. Mrs. Tupper was earing for lier,
and it was Mrs. Tupper who raised tlie
curtain a trifle and read the wall aloud.
“I haven't written much before,"
wrote Reliecca, “because I'm so tired I
can’t write or do anything else except
watch the others have a good time—
especially Anne. She has the best mus
cle of any girl here, and Tom's friends
all want her on their side in tennis
matches and boating and that sort of
thing. She looks so well and happy
and active that I hear people say they
like to see her around. O dear! I'm
so tired I can write Just this one thing
more! If I go hway next summer I .
won’t kill myself getting ready ! I'm
glad, though, that you are well. I was
afraid when I came away that you were
going to be sick.”
There was a restless movement in
the darkest corner of the room. “I
didn’t write Becky that I am sick be
cause I didn't want to spoil her good
time!” sighed Rebecca’s mother.—

MISLEADING NAMES.
Term« In
Science that Helle the
Products to Which They Apply.
There are terms in certain depart
ments of science that positively mis
name the products to which they are
applied.
The word "oil” in Its more compre
hensive mid indiscriminate uses, is
made to Include hydrocarbons, like pe
troleum, and also many other sub
stances that have an oily appearance,
like “oil of vitriol,” which Is not oil at
all, but sulphuric acid.
Strictly sjteaking, the mineral oils,
Including all petroleum products, are
not oil, although we speak of “coal oil”
tind "kerosene oil.”
The best classifications of oils do not
include mineral hydrocarbons, like
naphtha, paraffin and petroleum, but
treat only the two well defined groups
—fixed oils and fats and the essentia'
or volatile oils.
“Copperas” is not copper, but sul
phate of iron. "Salt of lemon” has
nothing to do with the fruit of the lem
on tree, but Is potassium blnoxalate or
potash treated with oxalic acid.
"Carbolic acid” is not an achl. but a
phenol. In structure It is allied to the
alcohols and has only slight add prop
erties. “Soda water” has no trace of
soda. “Sulphuric acid” contains no sul
phur. "Sugar of lead” Is Innocent of
sugar.
“Cream of tartar" has nothing to do
with cream nor “milk of lime” with
milk. “German silver” is a stranger to
silver, and "black lead” is not lead at
all, but graphite. "Mosaic gold” Is a
sulphide of tin.
These misleading names have come
down from the vocabulary of an early
