The Are originated in the San Jacinto Ho tel, or rather boardinghouse.

Bisters Dolors* and Jane were burned tieyood all possibility of recognition, while Bister Clothilda was fearfully burned about the face, neck, breast and arms, her recovery being in doubt.

SELIN DA’S SATCHEL BY SOPHIE 8WEST, H, Selindy, I wish you could go 1” Little Miss Kit tredge eltvatod her seamy forehead in a way that she bad when she was wor ried, until her eye brows reached al most to her “wid ow’s peak.” Selinda gave the unisnmg iimcu to me pinn waist sue was ironing and set the iron down hard. “It’s of no use to talk, mother. I never cangoanwhere,”she said. “And I do wish you wouldn't call me Selin dy.” The unironed things went into the clothes basket with a sweep aDd a toss, and the basket went into the sloset with a thump, and Selinda ran up stairs' to her own room and buried her head in the pillow. It was only a foolish little seventeen-year-old head, although its owner taught the Bend school and sang in the church choir, end was an officer of tho Village Im provement Society. Miss Kittredge dropped the boy's blouse sho was mending, and folded her little knotty, toil worn hands in her lap; her glasses had grown suddenly so misty that she could not see. “Poor little Selindy-da! It does seem too bad,” she murmured. “If Enoch would only pay me, as ho said he would, for keepin’ house for him and nursin’ him through that rheu matic fever, more’n a year ago. I can’t bear to say anything—'mongst relations, so—and Enoch is terrible nigh. And if I do speak it'll only make him cast a slur upon Araasa, his own brother that’s dead and gone, be cause he hadn’t more faculty and didn’t leave us better off. But then! Selindy docs feel so bad now that the Pritchard girls and Naomi Jenks are going to the World's Fair. And it does seem kind of providential that Enoch will bo goin’ by hero home from market this afternoon.” The little woman arose, slowly, but with resolution, and took her mend ing out to tho porch. But the mend ing was neglected, and sho peered tnxiouely through tho fluttering hop vine, down the long, dusty road. She actnally trembled when a tall, gaunt ligure, upon the seat of an open farm wagon, came suddenly into view. “Enoch, I want to speak to yon jest s minute," sho called, hurrying out to the gate. Enoch was thin-lipped, and dried liko leather. He flecked a fly from his horse’s back without looking up, and with a distinctly discouraging air. “It ain’t any use talkin’ to me about Rufe,” he said, before the little wo man found her breath or her courage to speak. “He’s got to make his own way, jest as my boys wonld, if I had any. I don’t care anything about machinery or ’lectricity, or any of the I Fol-de-rols that he’s got his head full of. I don’t expect he’ll ever amount to as much as Selindv does—” ‘It’s Selindy that I want to apeak to you about,” said the widow, hastily. “You know I don’t like to say any thing about it, Enoch, but you said you'd give a little something for takin' rare of yon when you was sick, and now—Selindy she wants so bad to go to the World’s Fair. I expect you’ll think it’s extravagant, but she worked hard keepin’ school, aud Rufe he’s doin' real well in the mil), and seems as if now was just the tirno if you did think of givin’ me anything—” “You want me to give it to Selindy, do you?” The gTim mouth relaxed a very little. If Uncle Enoch had a weakness it was for his niece Seliuda. whom all Carmel accounted “smart.” “I did think she had more sense thau to go galivantin’ off to Chicago, a squanderin’ money, but mebbe I’ll give her a little somethin’ to help her along. I'm goiu’ over to B— day after to-morrow, and I’ll stop on my way home.” “A little somethin’ to help her along” did not sound liko enough to pay Belinda’s expenses to the Fair, but there was one good thing about Uncle Enoch, he was apt to promise some thing less than he meant to perform and Belinda's mother remembered hopefully how he had said, after she had nursed him through those long weeks of illness, “I’ll remember you hnrnaomely, M’ria, harnsomely.” That was, indeed, after he had suf fered very severe twinges of rheuma tism, and Bufe had said it would “take more than rheumatism to take the kinka out of Unole Enoch so ther’d stay out;” nevertheless, Mrs. Kit tredge’s worn face, was aglow as she i. v: :'v.—jV ■V‘-W r “.V called to Belinda, who was still proa* trate and tear.'ul, and told her just what a hope Uncle Enoch had held out. Belinda was sanguine also. Bho dried her eyes, and ripped the skirt of the "changeable” silk that had been her mother’s wedding dress, to make a “stylish” waist to wear with her old black cashmere skirt. And then she couldn’t resist the temptation to ron across the field to Naomi Jenks’s to tell her ot the joyons prospect. And she was really angry with Rufe because ho shook his head doubtfully, going right on eating huckleberry pie, when she told him of Uncle Enoch’s promise. When the day came she ran out as soon as she had wiped the dinner dishes to watch for Uncle Eneeh. Ho was late and in a hurry. He handed her out a rather large-sized pasteboard bos. •mere, 1 am t one to do small wnen I make up my mind to go a-shoppin'; if you take good care of that 'twill last you till the next World's Fair comes round,” with a grim chuckle. “Yon tell your mother it’s her own resk let tin’you go;'tain’t any of my doin’. I've got other uses for my money.” Belinda carried the box into the house. It was light, but oh, how heavy her heart was! And Rufe, who had been standing behind the great butternut-tree, turned a somersault. Rufe always had provokingly little to say for himself, aud ho turned somer j saults as an expression of his feelings 1 on the most inopportune occasions. I Belinda thought that even a boy ought I to have more sense. There was si lence in the room for the space of a full minute after the cover was taken off the box then Mrs. Kittrodge said with a tearful gasp, “Oh, don’t feel so bad.Selindy it’s a real pretty satchel.” Belinda had a temper. I wish that I she had had it as fully under control as all but the very bad girls in stories do; but alas! shu flung the pretty satchel with all strength, box and all, up into the high cupboard beside the mantelpiece. The box came tnin I bliug down, and the cover followed it, and Rufe carried them off, saying he had been wanting some pasteboard to make a fan for his winnowing ma chine. (Rufe spent his leisure experi menting upon miniature machinery.) The bag stayed up in tho closet, and Sclinda sullied aud cried, with inter vals of trying to be good and make th9 best of things, and her mother took the egg money, with which she was to have bought herself a pair of gloves, and bought a gilt belt for Be linda, and she made a great many cream pies in anxious, silent sym pathy, and opened tho strawberry preserves, of which Belinda was very fond. Sometimes when Belinda was away, Mrs. Kittredge opened the cupboard door and looked at the satchel, and said regretfully. “It's a real pretty satchel.” At last one day, three weeks after the satchel had been flung up there she said it in Belinda's hearing. “You think so much of pretty things," said Belinda, a little con temptuously. “You wanted somepink vases like those the minister’s wife had, and a watch and chain like Mrs. Deacon Palmer had, and a spray of lilac in your bonnet like aunt Jemima! You always liked pretty thiugsand—” Selinda looked up, suddenly, as if struck by a new thought—“you never had any!” itute looked up from the tiny wheel that he wa3 scouring with emery paper. “X wonder if this is the first time you ever thought of that!” he said in a gruff voice, as if he had a lump in his throat. And he scowled medita tively at her, as Selinda now remem bered she had caught him scowling at her before. “Well, I don’t know,” was all that i their mother said, in a meek, half S guilty little voice, and Belinda saw her turtively wipe away a tear. “Aunt Jemima has sent word by rhoebe Bascom that she wants you to come over and help her get ready to i go to the World’s Fair,” said Belinda when she came home from tbo dress maker’s the next day. (She was find j mg a little consolation in the change able silk waist, although she couldn't j wear it to the Fair.) “Aunt Jeraiua j is going, and Mrs. Prentice and Roxy Fowler, with Jonas for an escort.” “I'm real glad for Jemimy. They’ll have a beautiful time. I guess I will go over and help her fix off, if yon think yon and Rufe can get along,” said Mrs. Kittredgc. Belinda was at the dressmaker’s again the next day when Mrs. Kit tredge’s nephew, Jonas, came after her. Going to the cupboard for her best handkerchief and her gloves, where she kept them “handy” for Sundays, Mrs. Kittredge caught sight of Belin da’s satchel. “I don’t believe Selindy would care a mite if I should take it. She said she never would carry it; and it would look as if I had things like folks,” she said to herself. “Mother does like so mnoh to go visiting,” said Belinda, as Rufus came in that night. She was in the pantry, with her back toward him, but she kept on talking. “She’d be a regular gad about, like Aunt Jemima, if she could.” Belinda’s tone was Blightly aggrieved; she did hate to do house work. “And she never had a chance to go anywhere 1" Rufe'e voice was so gruff now that it made Belinda come oat of the pantry aud_stare at him. His face was red, and he breathed quickly, as if he had been running. “She's gone, has she?” he said. “Bnt I cm go over to Aunt Jemima’s; it won’t be too late.” He drew a roil of bills from his pocket and spread them out before Belinda's eyes. “I’ve been doing extra work for a long time, and I got Mr. Pritchard to pay me to-day. And then t sold those jumping jacks that I made, and the little wooden wagons—yon thought I couldn’t, bat I diet—and I’ve saved every cent I could, and ai ljst there’* enough— enough for mother to go to the World’* l'»ir 1" “For mother to go to the World’* Fair?" echoed Selinda in utter tmu« mcnt. She almost laughed, it seemed so ridiculous. Aud then a sudden re vulsion of feeling swept over her. In stead of laughter there was a throat ing of tears—a blessed mist tbst cleared long blinded eyes. “Oh, Rufe, I never thought! It was only mother! And though you're only a boy yon did thiuk! Ob, she'll have such a good tirno But you, Bufe, I never thought of yon, cither; aud there’s the ma j chinery—there sre all sorts of things that it would bo a real benefit to you j to see 1" j ltufe turned his back to her, and swallowed a lump in his throat—a lump that went down hard. But ho raised his head proudly. “I shall be a man, and make my way, and see things,” said he, “But mother never had a chanoe.” ltufe planned to go over to aunt Jemima’s neat morning; but there was no need, for bright and early, their consin Jonas came driving like mad up to the porch, with Mrs. Kit tredga beaming with delight beside him. "Oh, Belindy, he wasn’t so bad— your Unole Enoch, I mean,” she grasped.- “Just see!” Hiio openod the satchel, and showed a little inner pocket from which she drew live crisp now twenty-dollar bills. “I found them last night when I was showing the bag to your aunt Jemima. Now, Seliudy, you can get ready right off!” But Selinda shook her head firmly; if she had oue little paug of tempta tion no one will ever know it—aud told Bure’s story, while Bufe retired, shaxno-facedly, behind the wood-shed door, for there was consin Jonas lis tening—and added her owu plan, which was that her mother should go to Chicago, escorted by her own big boy, Bufe, who would learn twico as much as she—Selinda—would. And Selinda had been so much in the habit of having her owu way (hat of course she had it now. Littlo Mrs. Kittrodgo wont ofl with her sister Jemima, aud her cronies, half-dazed with delight, almost as un certain of herself as tho little old wo man on the King’s highway who cried “O T,v.vk ’a mercy on ma this surely j esn’t be I?” And Rufe—but only a boy with a burning desire to "find out tliiugs” knows what going to the Fair meant to Bufe. As for Belinda, perhaps there were moments of misgiving, even tears; but she says she had a good time all alone nt homo. And when her Uncle Enoch, driving by, called out to her: “Well, Selindy, you found what 1 put in the bag for you?” she answered, with a happy face: “Oh, Uncle Enoch, I found the money—and a great deal morel” Uncle Enoch thought ho must be getting deaf; he didn't know what she meant. But it didn't muttor much what a girl meant, anyhow.—Port land Transcript. Spontaneous Combustion ol Coal. According to L. Hoepke, it is to a slow oxidation and to the resulting disengagement of heat that must bo attributed the spontaneous combustion of cargoes of coal. The danger is so much the greater in proportion as the surface exposed to the air is wider. It is maximum with coal dust. The load ing and trimming should, therefore, be so done as to avoid as much as pos sible the crumbling of the coal under the influence of the ship’s motion. The smallest vessels are preferable for the carriage of coal. Mr. Hoepke does not believe in the possibility of the spontaneous oom bustion of cargoes of damp cotton. But it is possible that a spark fulliug accidentally upon a bale may remain ignited for weeks and afterward set Are to the mass. Greasy cotton, on the contrary, very easily takes fire spontaneously. The same is the case with flax, jute and tow. Stacks of hay, and bales of tobacco and hops are like wise liable to spontaneous combustion. —Scientific American. Barber Lore. The barber’s gift of tongue, wbieb has long been asnbject of mirth and an object of dread, is now to be utilized —and attached with belting, as one may say, to the machinery of politics. One of the many ’‘Leagues” that are oonstantly being operated os feeders to the great political parties, lias taken means to prepare for the barbers of the country ‘‘a reasonable quantity of well-written, knock-down arguments,” as the officers express it, which are designed to be communicated to the devoted customers of these knights of razor and shear, when they have them stretched at full length in their chairs under lather and napkin, with escape impossible. It is sad to contemplate that another horror is to be added to the barber’s chair, and it is to be honed that the knock-down arguments referred to may not become boomerangs, and as sume a physical form, wheu adminis tered to nnfortumate customers.— Everywhere. Cancers on House-Flies. It is supposed that house-flies are an aid to publio health, as they are really scavengers upon wings and remove lit tle by little much matter that might otherwise breed disease. In view of this fact, some people will regret that a disease analogous to cancer has ap peared among them which is depriv ing thousands'of them of life. It ia a fungous growth beginning in the tis sues of the insect, pushing through the skiD, and finally "blossoming” and fruiting, thus creating seeds for its fu ture propagation.
