STRANGE TRUE TALES CAUSE WONDER Fireproof Safes Bella Thrlr Repata tlsa Lack and Ill-Lark A staged Cat MoeVe-ry at Escaped Signs. Many curious Incidents srs coming to Debt a tht ruins of the Baltimore (Ira are explored. Hera are a few of them: On Water atreet, near Houth, the big granite based buildings were maahed to a tnsss of barely recognizable mine. In one of them, however, right over the doorway to the aide mi a big sign. All about thla eign demolition waa spread by the wild fury of the flamea and falling walla, and tba building looked like It had been at the mercy of a miniature Kansas cyclone. But uac the same, like the celebrated flag In Francis Bcott Key's Immortal aong, tha algn waa aUll there, and It read, "For Bent Desirable Offices In the Basement" The basement, or what waa left of It. Wag all that remained of the former five storied building. Not a blxn away was another peculiar freak of the fire. There was a cigar store en the corner of Lombard and South treats, In front of which thers waa evi dently a sign advertising a certain brand of cigar. The building was In ruins. Every sign of life was destroyed. Ruined bulldlngi and fallen electric wires made passageway very difficult, but the adver tisement, or at least a great portion of It, Waa atlll observable. The lower part of the algn stood out In strong relief, reading, The Best Bmoke In Town." Retreat of Rats. Like all old cities, the business portion of Baltimore, especially the warehouses near tha harbor, were overrun with rata. Police officers and firemen who were on duty In tha lower district aay that at ttmee on Sunday and Monday the rodenta would pour out of buildings In regiments and go galloping toward the river. Since the fire not a rat haa been seen In the bumad dis trict nor Immediately adjacent It la also estimated tbat mora than a thousand cata lost their lives In tha burning warehouses. It la estimated that about 110,000 In paper money waa destroyed during the rush of flame. Several Incidents of finding the charred remains of bank notea have been made known at the subtreasury. Tha most peculiar one made Captain Wil liam Ross of tha oyster pungy Mary Roes tba richer by ttW. The Mary, when tha fire began to come down Pratt street was towed out Into the stream nd her sails were hoisted. Seven miles below the city Captain Ross found on the deck of his craft a black piece Of paper. It almost crumbled at tha touch of hla hand. Noticing that It waa a $100 note, ho earefully lifted It with a caee knife and kept It flat In a book. The genuineness of tha not waa ao apparent at the office of Subtreaaurer Dryden that It waa redeemed, fee That Were Rot Bate. Mora than a thousand steel safes went down In tha ruins, and now that they are being opened, many surprises are discovered.. Felix R. Sullivan of 2E South Watea street waa overjoyed to see his big strongbox come up out of the ruins apparently unhurt gave for tha paint The combination lock yielded to hla manipulation as easily aa ever. When ho swung the door back, now aver, ha found every acrap of paper within It reduced to sshes. Even the bit cf brus els carpet on the floor of the safe waa but barred wool. A big safe belonging to the largest Arm Of pawnbrokers In Baltimore appeared In tact when brought out of the rulna. It contained 124 gold and silver watches, too diamond and other rings and a lot of mis cellaneous gold and silver ornaments. Except for less than a score of pieces, the Watches, rlnga and ornaments had all aa el tod and run together In one big lump on the floor of tha safe. The inside of the heavy door was not even acorohed, and yet every wooden drawer la tha safe waa In ashes. Several safe which war opened before they had cooled exploded the moment air reached the Interior, and set everything within on fire. William Musser, a farmer on tha Belalr road about seven miles beyond the eastern limits of the city, brought to town the Other day 180 pounds of Sumatra leaf to basco and la 143 richer by reason of the fire. To R. Cuiscnl, the clgarmaker, to whom ha sold the tobacco, he explained that It had been blown over hla farm, together With cinders, on the 8unday evening of the Bra. The tobacco .came from a big ware house In this city which waa burned. In the main it waa but slightly Injured. Tha office cat of the United Electric Rail way company, which had offices on the tenth floor of the Continental Trust build ing, has been found wandering about the gutted structure. The building, or at least tba woodwork In It, burned like a torch. . Tha flamea destroyed every deek, every door, every Inflammable article In the whole structure. A Singed Cat.

When the safe wss opened not a match had been Ignited by the tremendous heat and every thing was Intact. Thomas R. Jenifer, who lives at Towson, seven miles from the city, found In his front ysrd on the Tuesday after the Are a charred portion of a testament and care fully enclosed therein, and uninjured, a portion of Ingersoll's lecture on Voltaire. A scorched postal card of the Third Na tional bank waa found by N. N. Keune at Bear Creek. Md., about thirty miles from tho city In a straight line. That some men are marked for 111 luck Is shown by the misfortune of S. T. Rod berg, a Baltimore street Jeweler. Soma years ago he waa robbed of diamonds valued at several thoussnd dollars. His aafa has Just been ftpened, and tha $40,000 worth of diamonds and Jewelry It con tained are found to be ruined. The gold had all melted and run together. The atones are, he says, of little, If any, value now. In tha same safe a whits silk handkerchief waa found whole and un soiled.

WOODEN INDIANS VANISHING Peaceful Braves Forsake the Pipe and Taper and Hide la the Woodpile. If through the mutations of modern business or for any other of a largo variety of reasons that might arise one were to want a wooden Indian tha prob lem, of acquiring It in a hurry If It were of tho kind that Is sometimes used aa a sign for tobacco shops would be found beset with difficulties. This Is not because such figures are ro very hard to And, nor yet because they are still popular as to be In great demand, but those In existence are not only In use by their owners, but, In the general ease, they are greatly cherished. no matter what their state of decay, and the business of making them of wood has been given up. One might by a chanoe, be found In some out-of-the-way auction room, but at other tlmea it might not One might. Indeed, be made to order, but It would take quite a hunt to find tha man to make It The wooden Indian, which used to be one of the Imperative necessities of ovary well-equipped tobacco shop, la now dis appearing aa rapidly aa its flesh and blood prototypes, chased out into the suburbs and thence Into tha smaller villages be yond. Probably none has been made any where within the past twenty years, and nearly all atlll in existence are much older. This la curious, because tha wooden Indiana were far more dletnlctlva as signs than any others to be aeen; their introduction and use by the tobacconist were coincident with tha Introduction of the weed Itself to civilisation, and they were to be seen every where, in Europe aa well as in America. There were other figures besldea those of Indians, such as sailors, dudes, black boys and Punches, but In thla country tha In dian waa by far the most numerous, es pecially for the retail tobacconist, who dealt in all sorts of smokers' goods. Ef figies of black boya were perh&ps preferred by wholesale sellers of leaf tobacco, tut beyond that there waa apparently no die Unction. In England the signs were fre quently so chosen that a Dutchman smok ing a pipe Indicated tha sale of smoking to bacco; a Scotchman in kilts, of snuff, and a sailor with his quid, of chewing tobacco. Philadelphia waa at one time the head quarters for the making- of these figures. Oscar Krause, a wood carver, still living in thla city, who used to make the figures, says he turned out his first on In 18S9, when he waa a young man, and that busi ness was then good. He made many dudea aa well as Indians, and his last figure waa turned out In 1884, by which time the trade had dwindled to nothing. Mr. Krause then went into architectural wood carving. The figures, he says, were made of pine or poplar, sometimes of one large piece and sometimes of small pieces of glued and pinned together, to make the grain come right Figures of thla kind lasted longer and withstood the weather much better than those made from a single piece. But It waa the small boy rather than tba weather which tried the endurance of these dumb sentinels of trade, for they constituted a fine mark for snowballs and other missiles. They sometimes suffered, too. In atret riots; but they were seldom atolen, because they could be ao easily Identified. The prices of the figures varied from $25 to aa much aa $200, according to else and workmanship. Philadelphia Rec ord. We Oftea Do It.

She Is pronounced beau tiful from every standpoint but her great eat charm la her complete confidence and love of her husband, a trait that dominates her race. It la said that her mother-in-law does not like the match; it la even hinted that aha doea not like the bride. Whether that la true or not the bride, If she is a true-blue Japanese woman, auch aa her husband declares her to be, must, according to the Japanese code of ethics for women, forget her own parents and knuckle down to those of her husband In fine stylo. A woman who haa traveled much In un beaten tracks In Japan relates In the New York Sun that Japaneee wives are faithful under circumstances which Americans would regard as moat trying. Even appar ent fidelity on ths part of the Japanese hus band Is not considered a virtue or so much aa a conventional requirement The first duty of the Japanese wife Is to bring chil dren Into tha world and then to care for and wait upon them. Her second duty Is to become a slave to her mother-in-law. A translation of the code of morals for women from a little book on the history and customs of Japan, published more than a quarter of a century ago, throws much light upon the estimation in which women are held there and upon certain Japanese social customs. Here Is tha code: Marriage a Specltle Doty. First Lesson Every girl when of age must marry a man of a different family; therefore her parents must be mors careful of her education than that of a son, as she must be subject to her father-in-law and mother-in-law and serve them. If aha has been i polled she will quarrel with her husband's relatives. Second It is better for women to have a good mind than a beautiful appearance. Women who have a bad mind their passions are turbulent their eyes seem dreadful, their voices loud and chattering and when angry they will tell their family secrets and besides laugh at and mock other people and annoy and be spiteful toward them. These things are all Improper tor women to do, as they ought to be onset, amiable and gentle. Third Parents much teach their daugh ters to keep separate from ths other sax. They must not see or hoar any iniquitous thing. Ths old custom is, man and woman shall not sit on ths same mat nor put their clothing In ths same place, shall have different bath rooms, shall not give or take anything directly from hand to hand. Bur ns tha opening, when women walk out they shall carry a lantern, and on walking out, even families, men must keep separate from their female relatives. People whs neglect these rules are not polite and bring reproach on their famlllea. No girl shall marry without the permission of her parents end ths management of a medium, and though sbs meets with such a sad fats ss to ho killed, she must keep as solid a mind as metal and stons and do no un chaste thing. Hesse Obllatloas. Fourth Ths house of ths husband is that of ths wife, and though her husband be poor, shs must not leave his bouse; if she does and is divorced It will be a disgrace to her all her Ufa. Ths reasons why a man may divorce his wlfs are seven when she disobedient to hsr father-in-law and mother-in-law, when shs is unfaithful. when shs is Jealous, when aha has leprosy, when shs Is childless, when shs steals, when sbs has a chattering tongue. To ths last reason ths explanatory clause i added: "For ths gabbling of a woman often destroys ths peace of families." In mercy to the childless wife this clause Is sdded: "If aha Is amiable and gtntla shs shall not be divorced, but hsr husband shall adopt a child, or, If his concubine have a child when his wifs hath none, hs shall not divorce her." At ths end of all ths reasons for divorce It Is added, "When a woman is once driven out of ber husband's house It is a great eproach to her." Fifth When a girl la unmarried, shs shall reverence her parents, but after marriage. her father-in-law end mother-in-law, mors than her own parents. Morning and even ing sbs shall inqulrs after the health of hsr father-in-law and mother-in-law, and aak If shs can bs of any service to them, and. likewise, do all they hid her; and If they scold her. shs must not speak, 'and if shs shows an amiable disposition, finally they come to a peaceful settlement of their dif ficulties. Sixth Ths wlfs has no lord or master hut her husband; therefore, shs must do his bidding and not refuse. The rule which women must observe is obedience. When the wife converses with her husband shs must do so with a smiling face and humble word, and not hs rude. This Is ths prin cipal duty of women; ths wife must obey ths husband In all that he ordera her to do, and when he la angry shs must not re sist but obey. Ail women shall think their husbands to be heaven, so they must not resist their husbands and Incur the punish ment of heaven. Vmttr el Relatives. Seventh All the husband's relatives are hers. Shs must not quarrel with them, or the family will bs unhappy; she must bs on good terms .with the wife of her husband's eldest brothsr (hs being considered the head of tba family). Eighth The wife must not bs Jealous of hr husband if hs is unfaithful to her, but must admonish him in a gentle, kind wan ner. Of course, when she la Jealous, her anger will appear In her face, and she will be disliked and abandoned by her husband. When aha admonishes her husband she must always do It with a kind facs and gentls words, and when he won't listen to ber, she must wait till his passton is cooled and than speek to him sgaln. Ninth A woman must not chatter, nor revile anyone nor tell a lie. When she hears any slander aha must not repeat It, and so csuss disputes among families. Tenth A woman shall always keep to her duty, rise early and work till lets at night Shs must not slsep during ths day, must study economy, snd must not neglect her weaving, sewing snd spinning, and must not drink too much tea or wine. She ahall not hear or see any such lascivious thing as a theater or drama before reaching the ggs of 40, women shall not go to those places, ' or to where many people collect, such as s temple or shrine. Eleventh A wife must not waste her money in expensive clothing, but must dress according to her Income. Twelfth When a wife is yosng shs shsll month and ths fifth dsy of the fifth month she must first visit her husband's rela tives In preference to her own. snd except her husband allow her ahe ahall not go out or give gifts to sny one. Fifteenth A woman doen not succeed her parents, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law; therefore she must be kinder to them than to her own parents. When a woman Is married she shall seldom pay a visit to her own parents, only a messenger shall be sent; likewise to other relatives and friends. She shsll not pride herself on her own descent Sixteenth Though a woman have many servants. It Is the rule of women that she do sll her business herself. She shall sew the clothing and cook the food of her father-in-law and mother-in-law; she shall wash the clothing and sweep the mat of her husband, and when she nurses her child she shall wash the linen herself. Women always shall live within the house, and also not go out without any business. Seventeenth When rt woman hns a fe. male servant, ahe shall look after her, aa her mind Is Ignorant, untutored and ver bose and when she takes a spite at the relatives of her mistress' husband, she will slander them: and If her mistress Is not wise, she will believe her, and will take an Ill-will to her husband's family. Aa her husband'a friends were previously strangers to her, such disputes can easily happen: therefore, she must not believe her servant's words, and disturb the family peace of her husband's relatives; and such a servant she will dismiss, as such low persons must do such low things. A mis tress must check her servant when she makes a mistake, and pity her stupidity, and warn her to be mora careful In the future. Eighteenth There are two bad qualities In wo -den that they slander or take a spite at soma one, are Jealous snd Ignorant; aeven or sight women lit .en have these maladies. This Is a sign that women are comparatively Inferior to men; they there fore must remedy them. The most of these is Ignorance, and It la the source of the remainder. The minds of women generally are as dark as the night snd are more atupld than men'a; they do not notice what la be fore them, snd they slander innocent per sons; they envy the happlneas of others, and pet their children, all to the discredit of their husbanda Women are stupid; therefore they must be humble and obedi ent to their husbanda. In all stations of life the wife must stsnd behind her bus band; though shs may have dons good deeds, she must not bs vain of them. Though it be said she is bad, shs shall not tosist; she will continue to Improve her self, and be careful not to repeat the samo fault, snd when shs comports herself wisely, the Intimacy between herself and her husband through Ufa will be a happy one. The foregoing lessons all girls shall he taught them from their Infancy, and they shall study them by reading snd writing, so that they don't forget them.

DOWN HILL ON THEIR SKIRTS Reeowreefat Massaehaselta Hsrsaal Girls Do a Slant Novel Toboggans. Expanses of snow of ths smoothness of glass snd firmness of marble, sloping sway from a Massachusetts Normal college popu lous with female pupils, were sure to form the arena of a suddon and Irresistible out burst of tobogganing. That Is what befel at Westfleld, a town of the ancient and famous commonwealth, the other day, bringing about consequences which the young lady participants In the sport could hardly have foreboded. Proper vehicles for the exercise were not at hand ths number required would have exceeded the resources of all the bob-sled factories In New England but the Ingenuity of the young pupils triumphed gloriously ever the situation. The Institution possessed among its properties fourteen dustpsna with long handles, and thcoe were Instantly called Into service, fourteen young women Aylng down hill on them with arrowy speed, and exciting in the bosoms of many scores of their companions a spirit of emulation.

This waa speedily discovered In the skirts which enveloped each young female, and which, vhen pinned " closely around the body, served the purpose with unexpected fitness, snd were the next thing to the swift, flying domestic utilities named. The consequence was that in the twinkling of an eye all the white surrounding hill slopes were darkened with descending females. In number as the sparrows, and In velocity as the soft-bosomed carrier dove; and thla was kept up until the Westfleld hoodlum appeared upon the scene, exhibiting the Interest of his kind In the manner of his kind toward auch an unwonted and alto gether picturesque and exciting spectacle. Then the young pupils withdrew, having broken off the handles of all the dustpans, and no doubt worn holes In more skirts than aie yet officially certified to. They had had their fun, and could see no reaaon In the nature of things why the Incident should not be regarded as closed. This, however, wss not the view of soms of the professors, who construed the occurrence as lacking In dignity in faot ss a breach of propriety. Inviting ths sternest repre hension. What is to bs done with ths merry young dar-.sels It is not quite easy to surmise, but publio sentiment In Massachusetts or else where would net Justify any very severe extremities of discipline. The force pf the temptation would have to be weighed against the chirruping and exultant If mildly censurable, escapade, and the gen eral feeling would no doubt be that It was a pity there were not more dustpans, and that ths young women only did whst under the rtrcjrr.iuances was to hs expected of them.--New York Tlmea Bis slf-Bacriaetnar Disposition.
