Uenton Writes of thr Tora Onca Destroyed by Fire. Special Correspondence. San Franclsco. Oct. 2o. -A little more than a year ago. newspaper readers were apprised that Spokane Falls, "Wash., had been swept by a ilisastrous nre. Com pared with the population and capital invested in the two cities, Spokane's fire was as disastrous as the great Chi cago fire. That is to say, about every business house of any importance was swept ont of existence by a single dash. But judging from the appearance of Spokane today, the place has a vitality which fire cannot burn up. Where be fore ordinary frontier blocks stood, now immense granite, stone and brick stmct nrcs are standing six and seven stones high. The streets for months have been in a state of blockade to ordinary traf fic because of the building material piled for niilea along the principal thor oughfares. Pedestrians are forced to pick their way between lumber piles and liMided trucks in the middle of the streets. A conservative estimate of the building operations for the first year after the fire places the sum of money put into bnsints buildings at .-Jtf.OOO.OOO. Many buildings seem to be larger than the needs of the yonng city would jus tify. But when I was there I was told that the floors above the fifth in most all the buildings were used as resi dences for the heavy bachelor popula tion, being fitted up as sleeping apart ments, and many families even are housed over the large palaces of trade. Residences have not kept pace with the influx of people, and canvas tents and temporary shanties are seen by the hun dreds. The greatest danger from the tall buildings appears to be the inadequacy of the fire department system to cope with fires successfully. The water re sourcfliS are saul to be deficient, and the pipes are not strung or large enough to meet an- unusual demand upon them. The high hills o th outskirts of the city ailord an opportunity for handsome Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

Many stories of fabulous wealth sud denly acquired in Spokane Falls are re lated. One man went to the place as a sewing machine agent, and is now rated as worth several millions realized on real estate advances. A clergyman who went to the frontier post as a missionary bought a few acres of land for a home, and is now worth a million dollars. But the days for such phenomenal fortunes so speedily acquired are past, and the process of gain is now confined to the ordinary profits of business. Socially Spokane is a surprise. The tone of the people is indeed as high as in the most conservative eastern city of equal population. :After the great fire, when it was a city of tents, gamblers and adventurers flocked there from every quarter like a shower of locusts on Kansas wheatSelds; but their career was cut short by a raid of the better classes of business men, who arose as an army of extermination, and literally swept the town of disreputable ele ments as fire had swept the town of buildings. Tho gamblers' places were raided, their paraphernalia chopped to pieces, and they were given a reasona ble time to get out of the town. They went, standing not on the order of their going. Spokane is becoming, or now is, the greatest railroad center west of Milwau kee and Chicago. Surrounded by a coun try rich in agricultural, mineral and timber resources, it is marked as a nat ural point of supply for a largo territory, and will rank high as a manufacturing and jobbing city. The falls afford ample water power for running machinery, and the people have the energy and re sources which are needed to push the fame of the town. Four prosperous daily papers keep the people posted, and the merchants appear to appreciate the use of printer's ink as a helper in building up their business. Some splendidly conducted clubs af ford to young men a substitute for the comfortable homes they have left in the east. Schools and churches are abun dant and well supported. W. G. Benton. Mrs. "William C. Sibley. Atlanta, Oct. SO. A bright, resolute face is that of Mrs. William C. Sib ley, of Augusta, Ga., the leading wo man of the south in the war against intemperance. Her countenance beams with the light of her mission, and her eyes are brave with the courage of assured success. She is the wife of William C. Sibley, a manufacturer of sterling character and large wealth. Her father, Judge Grigsby E. Thomas, was an honored member of the Columbus, Ga., bar, and their luxurious home on Rose hill, overlooking the city, was, dur ing his lifetime, the gathering place of the intelligence and aristocracy of the state. Reared in luxury, the possessor now of wealth and affluent surroundings, this earnest woman has turned from the al lurements of fashionable life and its en grossing claims to give the energies of her soul and her mind to her arduous work. She finds an outlet for her zeal not alone in her official position in large organizations, but in the humble alley ways of her husband's large factory quarters and among the colored people. She went once to Columbus, her native city, to address by invitation the colored people's state teacher's convention. Writing of this brave step she says: "Some of my friends stood aghast, but it did not move me. I went, and no word of censure has ever been published agaiust nie. Whether it was silenced by my daring I know not. God knows why! I only Imow that I am going wherever I am sure that God calls me to either rel-'gious, temperance or philan thropic work." Do Something "Well. I would say to all young girls, whether rich or poor, educated or uneducated, make some one good thing a particular point in your life. If you will be a cook or housekeeper be thoroughly good. Have a general knowledge of all matters of interest and importance, but have one particular branch perfect, so that if the time comes when you must face the world and carve your own fortune you will be able to do something, and to do that some thing welL Xo matter how homely the uty its value is enhanced tenfold by being well done. It is as creditable to be a thorougo housewife as to be a good teacher or accountant. Mrs. George Rogers in Good Housekeeping. A Sodden 3Iove. Stranger Does a man named Stack house live here?

THE FAMOU3 WRITING ROCK AND THE SKELETON IN ARMOR. Renewed Attempts to Decipher the HU- Clvphlca oa th Stone Evidence !That Ainrlca Ya Discovered by tha rhns nlclans SOO Tears Ago, Tha visit of a number of Boston savants, armed with kodaks and ponderous vol umes on archreolosy, to Dayton, Atuw.r has again directed attention to the famous Writing Rock, a relic which has ptrzxlcil philosophers sinca the earliest days ot American habitation. Tho celebrated Writ ing Rock is situated oa THunton river, a stream associated with many an Indian tradition and evtnt of colonial history. It i3 one. of the most marked evidences that the coast of New England was visited by old time morinerp long before the com ing of the Spanish voyagers and tho Pil grims. It shares with tho skeleton in ar mor at Fall River and the old tono tower at Newport the Interest of student of tho far distant post. The three objects mentioned make It nearly certain that America was discov ered long before the Northmen penetrated the more tomperato latitudes of tho sen, or the adventurous sails of Americus Ves pucci were wafted amid tho flower covered island of tho Caribbean. It is also nearly certain that adventurers from the Old World made a temporary settlement alonir the coast of Massachusetts tafore the Pil grims ever saw the wintry shore of Plym- outh or bent their knees In worship upon taking possession of the, to them, new continent. TITK ROCK. The Writing Rock Is one of the strongest of the evidences in the case. It is "Often visited by antiquarians, and it inscrip tions are well preserved. It constats of an insulated mass of finegrained granite lying on the sands of the river a few feet abovo low water mark, bnt covered with water at each flow of the tide. It is 11 feet long and about 5 high. On tho water aide it presents an inclined piano surface, the facts of which, II feet by 5, seems to have been originally covered with inscriptiqns and sculptures. Tho inscriptions are hiero glyphic in character, and as the rook Is very hard thoe that rise above low water mark can have undergone but llttla ahango from the action of tho elements. The rock was noticed by the Pilgrims, bnt received only a little attention from historians until 1834, when there was found in tho neighboring town of Fall River a most remarkable relic, ono thut has not yet ceased to be carefully studied. In dig ging down a hill a mass of rook fell oft nnd disclosed a human skull, which was found to belong to a body buried in a sit ting posture and enveloped with bark. This envelope was removed, and the as tonished workmen found that tho skeleton was incased in brass armor. Tho helmet which covered tho trunk was thirteen inches by six Inches and about one-eighth inch in thickness. It was evidently cast In a furnace and bore marks of skilled workmanship. It was very similar to that described by ITomer as having been worn by Hector in the immortal battlo andslegs of Troy. TIIE SKELETON IN AUMOR. What was more remarkable about tho armor was that it seemed to have no con nection with tho armorial customs and patterns of Northern or Eastern Europe, nor with any recent date Below tho breastplate, and entirely encircling tho body, was a belt composed of brass tubes, each four and one-half inches long and about three-eighths of an inch in diameter, arranged longitudinally and close to gether. Tho tubes hud been cast on hol low reeds, and wero so arranged a to pro tect the body below tho belt and breast plate. Tho contrivance was a most In genious one, and proved that the maker must havo had a most skilled hand and a comprehensive knowledge of tho art of casting. It is tho opinion of learned men who have mado a study of the skeleton in armor and other relics which havo been fount! near it that it belonged to the crow of voyagers which left tho inscription on tha Writing Rock. Both tho skeleton and tbo writing on the rock a re supposed to be of Asiatlo or igin. Tho most careful writers on tho mbject bellevo the Writing Rock to oon taln a representation of tho Pillars of llnr culen (Gibraltar), and that tho mall clad hero was one of a crctv of Phoenicians who crossed the western main, sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar, past the Pillars of Hercules, never to return. Tho armor is the same as appears in drawings of sculpture found at I'alenqiic, Mexico, which has led to the supposition that an Asiatic race transiently sottlcd North America, afterward going to Mox Ujo, whore it founded thoo rock walled cities In tho exploring of which nuok a tonkhlng evidences of Asiatic civilization havo been found. READING THK rilEItOOLTrniCB. To this theory the antiquarians who havo recently vittd the rook snbwjribc They have deciphered the hieroglyphics to thotr own satisfaction to read that tho writer was familiar with the Mediterranean re gion, and that with bis fellows be was U oouraged ami abandoned oa the North American coast. It is fttippOArd that in the exodus to Mexico thit brtod wm forgotten, and tht inscriptions are thflr rntfte reeortl of Unj lonosomac-as and dtaoaragpineat of tho tituation. It is probable that the reord Is at least eight hundred years oM, and m aatedat") tho Cotambos period by four ceotttri'v Tha Phoenician wre the most pTTer Ing of navigator, and ihir cnpUxl was once nnem wf the xeo. Their history tells of bold sailors who pttnhrd eat beyond tho Pillars of Ilercttlos and Umad Strang JancU, rugged Rsd rough. Thr may havo been the American coaUaent.

They were talking of the shrewdness of thieves and criminals when brought into the central charged with any offense, and In the course of the conversation Detective McKeogh spoke of Louis Fisher. "There was the toughest guy I ever had to handle," said he. "From a really good boy he developed into as vicious a criminal as I ever saw. Years ago, whore the Chi cago Opera house now stands, was the old Tivoli, and Fisher, Sr., once had the lease of the place In thot-e dajs beer gardens were fashionable, and there was always to be found a great crowd of pleasure seekers seated about the tables. Here it was that Louis was brought up, and as a matter of course he met many clever crooks who would visit the place for 'graft.' "When the boy was 15 years old he one day disappeared with two stylishly dressed fellows who had been hanging about the place for several weeks. On inquiry it was learned that the men were bkilled burglars and that they wanted the boy to climb over transoms. So well did ho succeed in his new duties that ho became noted as an ex port. His father was well to do, and though ho tried in every way to locate his boy he could not do it. "Things ran along after this fashion for four or five years, when suddenly I came face to face with Louis, now a man, on Clark street. I arrested him, knowing hhn to be a thief. Then I told the old man nnd he came over to tho station to see the boy. But it was useless. The young fel low refused to give up his life, and said in n sullen way to me: 'You can't prove any thing on me. I have not yet done any work in Chicago.' I took him into court, and there on his own confession he was given hours.' "Ho didn't leave the city, however, and I determined to hunt him up again, be cause I knew ho was a dangerous man to run at large. "Finally. In eeuipany with two other officers, wo located our man on Van Buren nnd Clark streets in a dingy room with several of his pals. "We waited for him to comedown, ready to pounco on him on Bight. A (cv hours later Louis and his chums showed up and we 'nailed' them. But we had a fight on our hands before we got them to the station. Then, going back to their den, we made the women we found there tell us whero the plunder of the rob bers was hidden. After threats and per suasion wo were finally shown over $1,000 worth of jowelry, clothing, cloth and truck, tho result of sneak work in residences. "When wo showed the stuff to the pris oner he suddenly became idiotic that is, ho appeared to. But my chiefs Capts. John Shea and Joe Kipley knew the fel low and they laughed at him. They tried to catch him in various ways, but could not. Once before in the cast ho had played the dodge so well that ho was sent to an iLsylum, from which ho soon after made his escape He was trying tho same thing hero in Chicago. Ho would bite his fingers until the wounds ran with blood, and ho would laugh hystericallyat the blood as it dripped to the floor. Ho refused to eat, And instead would throw himsolf on the floor and lick up tho dirt with much gusto. "But it failed to work, for his eastern experience had been investigated, and so clear a cn.se was mndo outagainst him that ho was sent to Joliet for ten years, many of the owners of the stolon property giving their evidence. Besides one of his pals i urned state's evidence, aud that settled lnni. "He then gave up his shamming, and threatened to kill both myself aud his pal If he over lived to got out of prison. And I guess ho'll try it, too, when he gets out. But ho played the crazy dodgo fine, and I have not tho slightest doubt if wo had not discovered his scheme when wo did he would have gone to Kankakuo and theuce to his liberty." Chicago Mail. Urn ins. For a long time it was supposed that tho relative weight of tho brain as compared with the body was greater in man than in uny of tho lower animals, but, alasl for poor human nature, it is now known that fcomo of the smaller South American mon keys have, proportionally, a larger share i)f brain than our noble solves. On the other hand, however, man carries more weight in his cranium than any other breathing creaturo except tho elephant nnd tho whale. As a rule the human brain increases in gravity specific gravity, of couie up to the 20th or 21st year, and after tho "age of discretion" till the -10th your usually re mains in statu quo. After 40 the organ in most CNfcOS begins to wilt. It continues to decrease in volume more rapidly as wo grow older, and in those who are unhappy enough to reach the seventh htge of "sec ond ohildishness and mere oblivion" there is nothing left of it worth mentioning. Asa proof that tho weight of the en cephalic mass determines to a considerable extent the amount of intellectual power it may be stated that when the former is less than thirty-two ounces forty-nine ounces for the male and forty-four for tho female brain arc tho average idiocy or partial imbecility invariably accompanies the defect. Tne heaviest brain on record is that of Cuvier, the great naturalist, which weighed wxty-four ounces. Xew York Ledger. rioatinp; Saw Mill.

The North American Indians see a gnaw ing animal in the orb of night. In the whole of eastern Asia the people see in the moon a rabbit or a hare. The Polynesian think that the spirits of the dead are nourished by the moon. The Siamese perceive in part of the moon a hare, and in another part a woman till ing the ground. On tie ancient monuments in Central America the moon appears as a jar or a shell whence a rabbit sbaped animal is springing. The Scandinavians believe the mooa once carried off two children, as they come from the water bearing a jar. and they can still be seen with it in the orb.

She Slept n fVhole Night with a Rat Under Her unit Xevor Screamed. More than a score of years ago a party of Americans were traveling In Spain. There were eight of them four men and four women and one uight they found them selves in a llttlo h stelry containing one bed, in which the four women slopt, with the bare floor for the men, who found t!ie necessary room to lie down m by utilizuu the space under the bed for their feet. Just as the party were droppiug off iuto their first doze the youngest woman felt some thing soft nnd warm moving in the straw cf the tick beneath her. She awaited a moment to make sure, and then as it began a passage up one side of her body sho gave a jump that landed her cleur over by tho opposite wall, and got reudy to scream. "What is it?" came from tho doctor on the floor. "There is a rat or a snako In tho bed," she whispered excitedly. Tho doctor sat up. "Nonen-.e:" he said. "I tell you thero is. It is in the straw of the tick. And it crept up my lee" "Well," asked the doctor calmly, "sup pose there is an ninmal there. What uro you going to do about it?" "Do? Why I'm going to got tho girls out and open tho tick aud take the creat ure out. You don't suppose I'm going to sleep all night with a snake coiling around under me, do you?" "Now, see here," expostulated the doctor, "let's reason about this thing. It can't J jo a suake; it's probably a rat; and it's Insidu tho ticking and it can't get out. It enn't possibly harm you. And by and by tho warmth of your body will make it drowsy, and it .will curl down quletry and goto sleep. So much for tho rat. "Now, here we are eight of us tired out. Nobody knows about the rat but us two. Now, are you going to bo Beflsli enough to wnko these six people up, turn tho srirls otit of their bed they will scream, too, till they are black In tho face make us men take all the straw out of tho tick, Ind and kill tho animal and thon get all tho straw back iuto tho tick nearly n whole night's performance just because you have got hysterical over a harmless llttlo creature? "Now, be a sensible girl, get back Into bed and let me get to sleep again. When tho rat get3 to sleep you will, too. Just try it." If it is ever given to a man to bo elo quent it is when ho is pleading for his own comfort, nnd tho doctor was just a man after all. His persuasiveness won. Tno young woman crept timidly back, and lay with clinched fists nnd tightly shut eyes, while the little creature nestled uneasily about, and finally crept clce to her sldo under tho ticking and curled down to hleep. Sure enough the ("octor was right. And pretty soon sho did go to sleep, too, nnd only waked with the morning to tell tho other women of their fifth bedfellow, and how sho had saved them from an over whelming fright. And the girls quite turned her head with their ohal and ahs! And tho doctor said she was pretty sensible for a woman. And she sometimes tells the story even today. "But was it a rat after all?" tho listener Is sure to ask when she Ih done. And sho also likes to answer, "It Is iny chicfest glory In tho wholo affair that I left the Inn in an hour without speaking of the matter, and to this day I do not know whether I slept with e. rat, or a kitten, or a tuake."
