SHOP ON FIRE AT RHYL. Perilous Position of Families. Shortly before eleven o'clock on Saturday night a serious outbreak of fire occurred at Rhyl in the High-street establishment of Mr Emlyn, newsagent and stationer, and within a few minutes the fire bad obtained a firm hold of the shop on the gound floor. Mr A. 0. Emlyn, son of the proprietor, closed the High-street shop soon after ten o'clock. Returning for a Christmas-card book later, he struck a match, but whether this had any- thing to do with the fire is not known. The outbreak was discovered by Mrs King, who lives in a house behind the shop. She gave the alarm to some newspaper boys, and they carried it to the fire station. Many of the tradesmen in High-street did what they could to save the contents of Mr Emlyn's shop, as well as that of the adjacent establishments, but the former was gutted completely. As soon as the alarm was raised, Mr Bryan, who lives in rooms above, closed all the doors and windows upstairs, where several families live in flats, and after getting out the children he returned to the rooms above the shops and prevented any current of air from fanning the flames underneath. Although the smoke poured up through the flooring boards he stuck to his post, refusing to open the doors or windows except to receive buckets of water, which were poured on the floor to keep it cool and to prevent the flames breaking through. So great was the heat that articles of clothing on the floor were scorched, and the whole of the bedclothing and furniture is black with smoke. In the shop itself not an article was saved. Had the outbreak occurred later in the night the result would probably have been disastrous to life, as many working-class families live behind the shops and above the business portion, and the only way to the street is through a passage adjoining the shop. Adjacent premises suffered from smoke and heat. The contents of the establishment of Mr Fearby were greatly damaged, while the Maypole Dairy Company's place and that of Messrs. Waterworth Brothers, Limited, were filled with smoke. It is understood that the contents of the shop were insured.

Still Ahead. An actor is generally to be depended on for a good story. A comedian. better known in the north than in the south, whom I met recently was telling me of an episode in his experiences of some years ago, when he was touring the smaller northern towns with a musical comedy company, to which was at- tached a chorus so supernumerary that the manager nearly wept every Saturday when they came forward to receive their pay. The company h-ud been doing a poor busi- ness for several weeks when a certain town was reached. Just before the curtain went up that night, the comedian was standing at the curtain peep-hole," sizing up the audience. "How's the house, Willie?" asked a player. Well," answered my friend. there are some out there. But," he added, impres- sively, "we're still in the majority old boy, still in the majority

Out of Her Class. A member of a certain Education Com- mittee relates the sad case of a girl who failed to pass the examination which would have qualified her for an appointment as pupil teacher in one of the local schools. The mother of the disappointed young lady was asked by a friend whether the daughter had succeeded in passing the examination. No," was the reply, in mournful tone, Jenny didn't pass at all. Maybe you won't believe it, but them examiners asked the poor girl about things that happened years and years before she was born."

When to Read. Avoid late and unseasonable studies, for they murder wit, and are very prejudicial to health. The Muses love the morning, and that is fit time for study. A little before you go to sleep read something that is exquisite, and worth remembering, and con- template upon it till you fall asleep, and when you awake in the morning call yourself to an account for it. All that time is lost that you do not bestow on study." ERASMUS (from" Familiar Colloquies"). Where to Read. I like a great library next my study for the study itself, give me a small snug place almost entirely walled with books. There should be only one window in it looking upon trees. Some prefer a place with few or no books at all nothing but a chair or table, like Epictetus but I should say that these were philosophers, not lovers of books, if I did not recollect that Montaigne was both. He had a study in a round tower, walled as aforesaid. It is true, one forgets one's books while writing at least, they say so. For my part, I think I have them in a sort of side- long mind's-eye; like a second thought, which is none like a waterfall or a whisper- ing wind. LEIGH HUNT.

What to Read. If, in any vague time, you are in a strait as to choice of reading, a very good indication for you, perhaps the best you could get, is towards some book you have a great curiosity about. You are then in the readiest and best of all possible conditions to improve by that book. It is analogous to what doctors tell us about the physical health and appetites of the patient. You must learn, however, to dis- tinguish between false appetite and true. There is such a thing as a false appetite, which will lead a man into vagaries with regard to diet; will tempt him to eat spicy things which he should not eat at all, nor would, but that the things are toothsome, and that he is under a momentary baseness of mind. A man ougbt to examine and find out what he really and truly has an appetite for, and what suits his constitution and condition; and that, doctors tell him, is in general the very thing he ought to have. And so with books. CARLYLE.

Highly Suspicious. It is a rule, to which good lawyers usually adhere," said a member of that profession to me the other evening, never to tell more than one knows. There was an instance not many years ago, wherein a lawyer carried the rule to the extreme. One of the agents in a Midland Revision Court objected to a person whose name was on the register on the ground that he was dead. The revising barrister declined to accept the assurance however, and demanded conclusive testimony on the point. The agent on the other side arose and gave corroborative evidence as to the decease of the man in question. But, sir, how do you know the man's dead ?" demanded the barrister. "'Well,' was the reply, 'I don't know. It's very difficult to prove.' As I suspected,' returned the barrister. You don't know whether he's dead or not.' Whereupon the witness coolly continued, I was saying, sir, that I don't know whether he is dead or not but I know this they buried him about a month ago on suspicion."

Words of Wisdom. He that hath worth in him, and cannot express it, is a chest keeping a. rich jewel, and the key lost.
