They Arr Knduned to Avhea While the Fire Deportment la Finable to Cheek the Flautra for Wnut of Wnter —The Full Dentils* BOILED. From Fridttv’* Kvkning Jlr.n.vi.n. Albany whs visited this morning by one of the most disastrous fires that it hns been the city's misfortune tosuffer ‘ in quite a long time, and to-day three smouldering piles of charred timber mark the spots where stood yesterday as many neat homes. About a quarter after 8 o’clock per sons living in the northern portion of the city were awakened by the con tinued blowing of the oil mill and compress whistles, followed shortly by the clang of the alarm bell. Ity the time half-awakened citizens could hurry on a few articles of cloth ing and get out of their houses, the lurid glare of a lire, rapidly growing • larger Mid gaining headway, was painting the blackness of night a bright red in the vicinity of the ice factory. A large crowd quickly thronged to the scene of the contlagration, and found the handsome new residence of Mr. J. I.. ,Tay, on Washington street, just north of Society, enveloped in dames, which had gained such head way that no hope of saving the dwell ing could be entertained. Willing hands, however, went en ergetically to work to save the house hold effects from destruction, and a large part of the furniture was saved, though many articles had to be left in the burning building. In the meuntime the fire department was having n hard tlmo of it, and were meeting with obstacles that caused dangerous delay. Tom James, seeing that the fire wns outside the city lim its, stopped Detlnnce engine at the Central freight depot, but sent the hose reel for the use of ThronteeBka, which had gone far ahoad, taken suction nnd was waiting for hose. The city ordinances give no authority to the companies to take tho engines and hose out of the city, nor do they prohibit them, but at any rate Tom thought it best nut to play. The Defiance nnd Thronateeska reels each laid a section of hose from Tltron- ateeska engine, nnd two streams of water were finally thrown. But by this time the unchecked Haines had played sad linvoc. Mr. Jay’s residence was almost, ready to collapse, and had fallen through in several plaoes; but, worse than this, the (lames had communicated themselves to two other residences, one on either side of this one, nnd were taking hold so rap idly that It was soon clearly evident, that they would have to go. The residence to the north was oc cupied by M. T. F. Pruett and family, and the one to the south wns rented to colored tenants. They also belonged to Mr. Jay, and nil the furniture was saved from them both. Several other adjoining buildings were now in imminent dnnger, but water wns thrown in time to insure their safety. The two Negro compan ies did some excellent work at this critical time and deserve a great deal of aredlt for their indomitable perser- verence. Defiance, under order of the chief of the fire department, finally reached the Oil Mill cistern and pro ceeded to lay a couple of mains and do some good fighting. The flames were then under control, hut woeful had been their work. All three residences were totally destroy ed, and only a few chimneys and blaokened timbers remained. Before th’e smouldering embers could be en- tirely put out the water in the cistern gave out and the engines had to quit work. Had there been a fire cistern near by the loss would not have been near sA great, and the damage could have been confined to one house, but all three of the buildings were outside the oity limits, and the nearest fire cistern was in front of the Col. Nelson Tift place, a block and a half away. Everybody agrees that the department was unusually slow, but they met many obstacles, and the engine houses are a long ways from the scene of the fire. Thronateeska threw water ten minutes before Defiance. It is thought that the explosion of a lamp caused the disaster. Mr. D. B. Jay had been up about hair-past two, waiting on Ills sick child, and a lamp had been left burning in the bath room, where the flames were first dis covered. ’ The property was pretty well covered by insurance. Mr. Jay’s residence was insured for $2,500, in the Aetna In surance Co., the residence occupied by Mr. Pruett for $1,500 In the Central City, and the corner house for $1,350 in the Guardian. Mr. Jay also had $1,200 on his furniture, and Mr. Pruptt:$500. Altogether the tire was an unusual one for Albany, and more clearly than ever demonstrates that it would be folly to keep the city longer without a complete waterworks fire department. e in Messrs. Reich Or RoW the Peachy Cheeked Lady Did the Ileal liitutu Agent. Tito real estate agent experienced a feeling of exultation when the Walnut Hills young 1 lady, with peachy cheeks, admitted that house renting was a new experience for her. The agent’s con science had become hardened, and with tho thought of his wife and children there took possession of liis mind a fell determination to show tho peachy cheeked young lady absolutely no mercy. '*1 have,” I10 pleasantly remarked, “a splendid house light here.” Tho agent stuck a pin in his map to indicate the location. “Is it—er” The young lady’s poachy cheeks were suffused with blushes. “Adapted to housekeeping?” “Oh, perfectly.” The agent had never seen a domicile, to be confidential, that was better adapted to housekeeping. “Really,” declared the young lady deprecatiugly. “you must excuse my ignorance.” Tho agent bowed and begged her not. to mention it. “I’d like to ask yon one or two ques tions about the house, if 1 may.” Tho agent was delighted, lie was sure. “Thank you. Does it face tho north and have a woodshed with three sepa rate bins for coal, and room for a re frigerator in the corner farthest from the film?” The agent remembered afterward that r.lio looked very sweet and unsophisti- tated ns she propounded the inquiry, with an expression of the most bewitch ing anxiety, “Y-ye-yes—that is, I believe so.” “And I hope you can assure me that the window frames are tight, and that the doors have not sagged until they won’t shut. I suppose, of course ” The agent drew copiously from a draft of fresh air that chanced to wander his way. “ Tho walls are not cracked, the floors are not shrunk, the varnish is still on tho woodwork, the chimneys are clean and safe, the cellar does not flood. and” “ Madam ” “ We should certainly want at least lix latch keys for the front door.” " Madam ” “ Hoy ? ” The agent pressed n handkerchief to nis brow. “ 1 think, perhaps, er—I’d—a—better :all your attention to this house.” The agent’s voice was a trifle faint, »nd as ho stuck the pin into another part of tho map ho felt that he had overesti mated his ability to read character at first sight.—Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette. Handshaking Was a Trial.- George MeikleKeinp, the architect of the Soott monument at Edinburgh, was a man who raised hiwsolf from ob scurity by the sheer force of talent and determination. He had a retiring nature, and a shy aiul shrinking manner toward strangers.

The tendency which h illustrated in The Philosophical Fad. Possibly it is tlio lingoring influence of the Purltun maxim that whatever is pleasurable is wrong, unil that rest is indolence, that impels the American to make his vacation a change *of occupa tion, and to seek to “ improve ’’ every moment of his timo. Certainly in no other way can wo account for the deter mination witli which tho man or woman who ought to batho his or her tired mind in lest irritates it with lectures, and plunges into summer schools as if they were summer pools. The tired school teacher, who ought to bend all his energies to doing nothing, will sit for hoars on a bench in a grove to listen to a college professor, who ought tp bi idle, too, lecture on Plato’s self efface- inont or Socrates’s synthesis, Wo have not tho slightest desire to disparage the excellence of such buhi- mor schools; wo only point to their suc cess as indicating a development of the national temperament and the national desiro for improvement. Possibly at tendance on them is only a compromise between this temperament and th. human craving for rest, and that the man who sits apparently wrapt in ad miration of Professor Strawthrasher’s an alysis of Plato’s self effaoement is send ing his thoughts far distant and is really resting them in a way very uncompli mentary to that learned lectnrer. Let ns hope he is.—Boston Transcript. Miniature Photographic Outfits* Among the latest fancies in photogra phy is thq cane camera, which consists of a walking stick with ebonized handle, in whioh the camera is surrounded by a wide silver band and accompanied by all the necessary apparatus for making photographs. The handle is fitted in side with a neat metal drop shutter, which connects with a spring and pin underneath, and is operated noiselessly with one finger. Even smaller than this Is the pocket- book camera, which makes a picture of about 1X inches square, and when not in use folds np in an ordinary lady's puree about 8 inches long, inches wide and }£ inch thick. The lenB is an excellent qnick working medlnm, and it may be need either with plate or ent films. Besides its special characteristic the pnrse is snpplied with sections for containing silver, postage stamps and cards.—New York.Telegram. Friendship and hove. In the hierarchy of the affections, women place love before friendship; men place friendship before love, ae did the man of whom Alphonse Karr told, who, on being refused by a lady who offered to remain hie friend, replied; “Thanks, madam, but I do not know you well enough. 1 love you. 1 desire to marry you, but my friend—no.

It has been demonstrated in California that surface irrigation is not the best mothod for orchards. The system is un tidy, wasteful and causes an unneces sary growth of noxious weeds. It also stultifies tlio tree growth, i-uusing tho roots to form in a ball near tlio surface. An orchard designed for market fruits should bo irrigated by means of under ground conduits or cement pipes. These are laid below tlio freeziug point and made of sufficient dimensions to carry the requisite quantity of water within throe or four feet of the true. Small holes cat in the top of tlio pipes and covered by boxes to prevent tho holes filling with earth allow the water to percolate slowly out from the pipe and moisten the soil at the roots of tho tree. By tills method the roots go down ward, giving tho tree a firmness to resist rainstorms und withstand the effects of continued dry weather in cose the wnter supply is temporarily exhausted. Tills system may bo considered expensive, but the additional yield of fruit will justify such expenditure. The field of the future irrigated fruit market will bo largo enough to justify systematic under ground tiling as well as piping. Drain ages will he more extensively practised as tho market orchards tncreuse, and al though expensive ns it may seem, these orchards will be valuable dividend pay ing properties.—Irrigation Age, taciturn is what wo know ns “ipuMcul culture.” • ,in exceptional degree at Bar Harbor is Most people have some latent musical morally noticeable in the majority of faculty, and this is capable of develop- tbo summvi- places, and a hatm-ul and moot.

Mr. Wooten in- trod need a bill to the same affect in the? last legislature which was passed by that body. It contained the Jimifn- An Accommodating Burbor. Some of the rural towns in Now Eng land do not support a barber, and hair cutting is usually done by an accommo dating neighbor. A writer recently fell in with one of these amateur barbers, and humorously describes his accommo dating ways: Soon I was perched astride of a mo lasses hogshead, with a meal hag about my neck to protect it from the fall of hair. I might say the possibilities of a fall from the hogshead were great, as 1 squirmed about it to have the light strike my head right, so the gores would be even. He was no moan barber, for he scorned to receive any recompense. I wish all barbers were as charitable. After our cutting acquaintance 1 saw mnch of the barber. One time he was on the school house steps cutting a man’s hair. Again 1 saw him hard at work on a man’s head in the middle of his vegetable patch. The fanner was leaning against a bean pole with his hoe in his hand, evidently making the most of his luxurious ease. Anywhere and everywhere he happened to catch his man the enterprising barber wonld work. 1 was on the shore one day watching a fisherman at his salmon nets. Shortly a small skiff went out from a neighboring cove. In it was the barber, who rowed out to where the fisherman was and was soon outting his hair.—Eel- fast Age. An Indian Amulet. In India a variety of gems and stones are used as amulets. The most common is the salagrama, a stone about as large as abilliard ball, and which is perforated with black. This is supposed to he found only in Gandaki, a river in Nepaul. The person who possesses one of these stones is esteemed highly for tunate; he preserves it in a clean cloth, from whenci it Is sometimes taken to be bathed and perfumed. He believes that the water in which it is washed, if drank, has the power to preserve from sin. Holding it in his hand, the dying Hindoo expires in peace, trusting in a stone rather than in the living God.— Detroit Free Press. Th* ’'Third Founder.” “Third founder of Home” was the title given to the Homan general, Cains Marins, on account of his repeated tri umphs over the public enemies of his country, particularly for his successful conduct of the Jngurthtoe war, and for his decisive victories over the combined forces of the Ambrones and Teutones, near Aquae Sextiae (Air), in 103 B.

Muse A Cox. bo called—while a certain proficiency in this respect was too often held to atone for the absence of all other culture. The violin on the other hand was held to ho good only for men: perhaps we should restrict tho term and say for fiddlers. Boys now and then learned n \jttlo of tho instrument at school—a knowledge sor.u to ho dropped and for gotten. Thu difference now scarcely needs to ho pointed out. Boys und girls in numbers, and not a fow who are no longer boys or girls, are learning to piny on the violin and other stringed instru ments. The discovery has beon made that, though a virtuoso must begin early, It is not necessary to practioo half tlio day at four or five years old in order to be a good useful player at twenty. Ensemble classos and school orches tras show that on our amateurs the truth Is at last dawning that unlimited solo performance is not tho ultimute aim of all music trnining: that while only a gifted few cun attain to high individual excellence and finish, tho combination of many atoms of good, too small to bo of nny nse singly, may result in an ef fect which is not only good, but great, so long as music, not self display, is the object sought after. It may he roundly stated us a general truth that musical study proclaims itself on the housetops, without ceasing for an instant to assert itself in the (farrot, in tho basement uud at sundry IntormoiUate points. Tho student’s friends assist at every stage of his progress; they avo in voluntary and mostly unwilling partici pators in his difficulties, his perseverance, his triumph atid his despair. Well for them if two or three such dramas are not going on in tlio honso at once, to say nothing of probable puffs of melody and harmony from next door or over the way. That the character of musical practice ie far superior to what it used to bo avails these helpless ones but little. To them it is an insignificant fact, compared with the fact that for every victim of coercion who formerly pound ed a wiry piano for u conple of hours a day there now are a dozen students of various instruments and singers galore, all practicing uway for dear life. Should any link be missing in the continuous chain of sound, it is fillod up by barrel organs, street bands, wandering ballad singere, solos on tho whistle and other peripatetio instruments. Good, very good, no doubt. The mu sical crusader looks on the work and congratulates himself. There must be means to all ond. Music requires ma chinery, and the machinery for music is being brought into a most forward state of efficiency. Bat the music itself, whenco in the future U that to come? The “enraged composer” and his troubles have long been a favorite themo for the efforts of hfimorists. Yet the fact thus comically represented is no joke, and in the present condition of things it threat ens to resume ufcly proportions. Music is homicidal, suicidal. It de vours its own children and slays itself. Silence, the absence or cessation of musical sound, is an absolute necessity for musical thought. But putting on one side the troubles of composers, who after ail are comparatively few and far between, the born poor things! to be lshmaels, their hand against every man and every man’s band against them, what on the rest of the world is the effect of this unceasing, often incon gruous sound? It is easier to complain than to core, and far easier to point ont these evils than to suggest any effective remedy for them. U architects and bnildera would take into consideration the diffusion of noise, and would do something to make walls and partitions music proof, it wonld be mnch. There are continental towns both in France and Germany where practicing is prohibited by law, except at certain stated hours. For a large and enviable portion of mankind the remedy against the evil lies in getting need - to musical sound, and' so uncon scious of it.—Nineteenth Century.. ted afr A Lost Sermon.

Without admitting that it ever was a very prevalent type, it is sate enough to assume that the more American children are enabled to substitute the atmosphere of u summer homo for the garish delights of a sum mer hotel the bettor It will bo for the tuuunors of tlio rising generation. Of course it is by no means a new thing for rich Americans to liavo sum mer iiomeH, The growth of moss nml ivy on scores of tlio Newport bouses at test that. Of course, too, a snuuuer cot tage is a luxury, und luxuries are over prone to make tlieir first bows to tho people wjtli tlie moat money. Noverthe- ess there nre cottages and cottages, and whenever families that have boon UBed to taking refuge in summer hotels once make np their minds that they wonld like a cottage bettor there is no sound financial reason why they slionld not eventually have ono. Tho mate diffi culties are to decide where it shall he, and to bring the family’s mind to tho point of giving hostages to return to the same plnco several snmmore in succes sion. For of course, unless ono is rich enough to have an assortment of scat tered dwellings, it 1s an extravagance to build u house unless ho Is going to occupy it or can rent it. No doubt tho possibilities of vagrancy in the summer hotel lnotjiod constituted originally ono of its chief charms. It enabled people to try at loarft ono new place every year, and ascertain finally wliore they preferred to go. But this very quality in it lias helped the devel opment of cottages, slnco, after a dno Be rios of vagrant seasons, tlio family is able out of its snffloiont experience to de clare a settled preference for Homo par ticular spot. There, the spirit of adven ture having given plneo to the desire for assured comfort, tlio cottago begins its growth nnd finally develops Into a true home, with Its uceoinpnnying possibili ties of hospitality and of continuous ac cretions of grace nnd strength.
