A Father's Heroism -- Attempted to Rescue His Children and Lost His Own Life. Winnipeg, March 17.-The house of Stoffan . Oddleiffcson, an leelandic ij farmer, who lived two miles "south of Hanausa, situated on Lake Winnipeg, was burned to _the ground carly' on Sunday: morning last, and Oddleifis son and 'two of his children perished in the flames. The family were awak- ened by clouds of smoke pouring into the bedroom. Oddleifisson at once caught up two of his children, and with his wife, attired' in their night clothes, rushed into the open air. Oddieifisson thon = returned for his two other children, but just as he en- tered the burning structure the roof fell in, smothering him and the two children, ILLUSTRATED LECIURE. Dr. Lake Gave a Thoughtinl Talk on the Life of Christ. The illustrated lecture, given by Pr. Lake, this city, in the First Baptist church, last evening, was one of the most interesting and profitable lee- tures that has been given in the ¢fty in many a day. As an introductory, a fine picture of our noble king w thrown upon the canvas, and the au- dience spontineously g the nation al anthem. The first part of the lec ture was a harmonizing of the vari ous statements in the four gospel re A # : {Re cords regarding the time of Christ's crucifixion, the length of time His body lay in the tomb, and the time of His resurrection. By throwing the parallel | ges upon the sereen, and also a of charts 'illustrating points of time, the interested listener wis great ly helped to a clearer understanding, of the order of events. The whole gave cle evidence of prolonged" and tare ful study on the part of the lecturer. The second part was composed of a series of pictorial represeniations = of scenes from the life of Christ during "Passion Week." The pictures forty-five in all, "were all representa tions from the masterpieces of the best arfiste, Their presentation was sharp and clear, all that could be desired Much «credit is due Miss Muhel Lake for the clever way in which she man aged the slides. The whole composed a solemn and impressive service, illus trative of the great love of Christ for men as seen in the greatness of His sufferings. The lecture riven under the aus pices of the oung People's Union,' and was certainly a great credit to the society. The pastor suggested to the young people that "there should be more of such lectures. The unexpected happened when Dr | Lake threw upon the screen a fing pic ture of Ray. Douglas Laing, pastor of the church. This was greeted with hearty applause, some They Took The Hint.

One phenomenon in connection with the storm was the falling of fire balls, which set fire to several huildings in Melbourne. At midday on November 12 the city was in darkness, people traversing the streets with lanterns. The supersti- tious thought that the end of the world was about to come, and there were scencs of panic. At the same time comes the news that the Savaill ¥olcano in Samoa is ina violent state of eruption, and that the villages in the neighborhood are covered With ashes to a depth of two inches. Norman Lockyer, the astronomer, in an interview rrinted im. The Daily Mail, "stated that the fireballs were constantly - soon at the thme of the ratent erup- tions in the West Indies, so that it is possible' that the phenomensg in Australia may bave been connected with the nic activity in Sa- moa. r The fireballs are gencrally deserib- «d as globular lightning. There are records of much damage having been 'caused by them. In 1809 the Warren Hust! a British warship, was struck on the masts by three fire halls, in quick succession. In 1881 an civctrie ball entered a wooden dwell- ing in a village of Auvergne. It ex- rloded and set fire to the housh, with tho reshlt that a child was burned to death. Old English Records. Strange tales are told of how im- portant documents have gone astray. in England; says The Daily Express. \ few years ago an inspector employ- ed by the Historical Manuscripts Commission went to Belvoir Castle. 'L' caine across a key," he writes, "bearing a label with the words, Key of writings over, stable.' 1 ac- cordingly repaired to the stable, and there, in a loft under the roof, dis- covered a vast mass of old papers. No one had entered the" room for some years, and a curtain of cob~ webs hung from -'the rafters. Over everything there was a thick layer of hrokea plaster. and dirt "In the course of the first half hour I found a holograph letter of Lord Durghley, a military petition to the Marquis of Granby, in the reign of George INI, and a letter trom Charles James Fox. "The disturbance of the surface caused a horrible stench, and it soon hecame evident that the loft had been tenanted by rats, who had done last- ing damage to valuable MSS. by gnawing and staining them.'* Letters were subsequently found in this collection , from the Duke of Clarence. the Earl of Warwick, and Kings Edward ¥V., Richard LII. and Henry VII, Another inspector arrived too late it an old castle in the south of Fng- 'land. Its noble owner had just nade a Lonfire of the contents of his muni- \ went room, and all that was 1d was the smell of scorchod parch- ments. Fellow-Countrymen. A well-known actor télls a story, which M.A P. repeats of an Irishman named Flanagan, who had been out if work for some tj and at lepgth \pplied to a circus proprietor for a position. There was no regular places open, but the :managér looked Flanagan over and said "Our Jargest lion died last week, but we kept his skin, and if you like to get into it ahd be shown as a lion, you can have the job." Flanagan agreed. At the first show the proprictor stepped into the ape and said, "Ladies and gentle wen, To prove the docility of this roaring lion, I shall order him into th: cage with a ferocious tiger." Flanagan hung back, but the cir- us proprietor prodded him with a word and threatened to run him through, and the "'lion" was driven into the same cage with the tiger. There he backed into a corner and ried, "Sphare met!" Then the ferocious tiger jumped to "is feet and answered, 'Ye needn't be.afraid o' me! I'm. an Irishman meselfl'% How "OM Moore® " Began. "Old Moore" of London 'is the great almanac compiler, but as to whether that is his correct cogno- men cannot be said. There is a story told that he was a struggling grister somewhere in the region of "leet street many years ago, and one day having the "ump he dropped round to his favorite "boozer" for a "gargle." Then he met a few of his pals, and he gargled so often, that like the lady in a poem when be moaning her lover, he "forgot the stars, the moon and the sun," and that the almanac? was waiting to go to press. The printer's devil was sent in search of, him, and finding him informed him that he had for- gotten to_say what kind of weather it was to be on/the 24th of May. The prophet told thé devil to take his anatomy out pf his sight, und to say it would snow or anything else he liked. And snow it was. "Spow" was put opposite the vacant date, and the prediction catge true, and so the fame of the algnac went throughout the land. First Wom: a A mitted.

The groomsman was then called upon, who made a few touch. ing remarks, Referring to his position he said he felt' very much honored, in fact he gould not have been more so, unless he were the groom himself, but hoped that in the near future he could claim that hénor. Mr. Douglas of Quéen's, who was then called upon for a few remarks responded in a similar manner. He had known the bride's family for some time, and appreciated their acquaintance.
