The family of Morris Sullivan occupying the second story was badly frightened for a time, but the fire did not reach that part of the building.

An Item in this department yesterday, stating that the Forty Fort operated by Messrs. Simpson and Wat kins, was to be abandoned and the machinery transferred to their colliery the Harry E.t was incorrect, though ob tained irom a presumably reliable source.

The facts are these: The Forty Fort and Marry E. collier ies were both in a rather dilapidated cunuiiion wnen the present proprietor snip was assumed, and repairs have been constant therein, much to the in terruption of the work of mining, and it was thought best to suspend mining altogether in the Forty Fort colliery while thorough repairs were being made ami improvements were being Intro duced there. those employed there will be transferred to the Harry so that, practically the men will have better time than before, there being no interruption of work on account ot repairs. No machinery is to be re moved, additional machinery Is to be in troduced, and when completed, mining will be resumed at that colliery and the Harry is. will then be overhauled in like manner.

The coal is not exhausted there, and eventually both collieries will be operated as usual. The Discovery Saved His Life. M. G. Cailoutte, druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr.

The story hns been told in ninny forms of two persons, each of whom suspected the other of deep laid malign plan, and each gave time and anxiety to the discov er; of that plan, only to find in the end that neither had any plan except to watch tho other. One day Prince Mcttornlch, the old Austrian statesman, was informed that a stranger desired to see him.

The man, being admitted, was recognized by Mettor nich as one whom he had formerly known at Paris. But the man now appeared un der a borrowed name. He had a fragment of tlw handwriting of Fouche, tho French minister of police, as evidence that be was sent by Fouche. His mission, he said, was most sccrot, and, in fact, only extend ed to informing the prince that Fouche was desirous of offering to his considerations propositions of a highly important nature. The messenger declared that he was quite ignorant of the purport of those propositions and had no other authority than to invite the prince to a secret con ference through the modium of some trusty envoy, who should be dispatched to Paris for the purpose The prince replied, "Sou must permit me to think of this." Tho agent retired and the Austrian min ister repaired to the emperor and recounted what had passed.

"I think," said the prinoe, "that we should send a confidential agent, not to Paris, but to some other place that may be fixed upon, who shall have no other in structions but to listen to all that the Frenchman who will meot him there shall impart and bring us faithully an aocount of it." The mysterious mcssengor was accordingly dismissed, with an answer to the ef fect that an Austrian calling himself Wer ner should be at a certain hotel in the town of Basle, in Switzerland, on such a day, with instructions from Prince Mettor nioh. The mooting thus appointed took place at the spot and hour fixed. The diplomatic agents saluted each oth er with fitting courtesy, seated themselves face to face, and each assumed the attitude of a listener. "May I ask you, sir," said the envoy from Paris at length, "what is tho object of our meeting?" My object, sir," replied the Austrian, "is to liston to whatever you may be dis posed to say." "And mine," said the Frenchman, "Is solely to hear what you may have to oom lnunicate. Neither of the envoys hod anything fur ther to add to this interesting interchange of information, and therefore they sepa rated with mutual civility.

New iork Telegram. How Insects Breathe. Take any moderately large inseot and examine it olosely. You will observe, evon with tho uakod eye, that the body is pierced with a number of holes, usually from 18 to 20 in number. These minute openings are the apertures through which air is admitted to the system, and they are gonerally so wondorfully perfect that no extraneous mater of any kind can possibly effect an entranoe.

Sometimes these holes are furnishd with a delicate pair of horny clasps, which can be opened and closed at the will of the insect. In other cases this class is far more numerous they ore densely fringed with stiff, Interlacing bristles, which form a flltor that admits nothing but air. This bristle flltor is so perfectly yet so delicately inado tint it has been found absolutely impossible to force evon such a subtle fluid as spirits of wine through it. 1 hose apertures or "breathing holes communicate with two large tubes, which extend along the entire body of the insect, furnishing fresh air to the wholo system. Besido these two main tubes, there are innumerable delicate branchos, which run in all directions through tho insect body, continually dividing and subdividing until a wonderful network is tho result.

This mechanism allows air to penetrate into evory fiber of tho insoot's anatomy, even into the ncrvo lines of tho gauzy wings providing it has wings oud into the feet and antennas. St. Louis Ro publio. Bcr riftint. A poor little damsol had troublo with her mother not long ago.
