her In one of the tiullt.s and a hair

carried her out of the house and up

l mot!mred by the smoke.
Her hair was binned completely off
her head, her arms and shouldeis anil
bosom were burned, and her featutes
rendered indlstlni'ulshalile. The lest
of her body was not burned In tile
sIlKhtrfSl. her clothing not belui at all
siorched. From the position of the
body and the tact that only the upper
portion was burned It would seem that
the celling and the s?cond floor fell
upon her and burled her from the
flames, excepting the upper pat t.
Miss Hryden was housekeeper for
John Hi own, a miner employed In the
Co.ilbrook mln. Ills wife died about
five years and it half ago, leaving him
two daughter, Mniy, aged II, and
Florence, aged 7. Mary wns at school
when the fatality occurred, and Flor
ence, who had been with Mls.i Rrydeii,
was led out of tho house by Miss Flan
ncry, as related. Mr. Brown was nt
woilt In the mine, the first day In two
weeks, as ho had been home sick with
the grip until yestetday.
No one knows hoiv thj fire oilglnnted.
Miss Hryden had been baking blend In
the morning. Tho walls were unpins
teted, but were built up with boardlm.
A stove-pipe from the kitchen stow
led to the brick chimney and It Is
said that this was the only stove In
the house. Miss Flanncry says that
when she first saw the lire it seined
to b upstairs In the floor over the
bed loom. Not a thing was nwed
trom the house, all the furnltuio being
burned. Two woinn of the Flanncry
household yelled at the top of their
lungs for help while Miss Nellie fled
to ilng an alarm, but It iii some
minutes before their shouts attracted
attention.
Tlm fliemeti siilleied keenly In the

sheathed with lie. Few were equipped

ponds several Inches deep. In which
they had to stand while winking.
No detajls pi tattling to Miss Hry
den could In obtained, beyond the fact
thai she wns bom In Ireland, owing to
the serious condition of her only sur
viving relative. She Is spoken ot' In
hl-jhe-n terms? by her neighbors as
being an ntfeeilomite, loyal old woman
and a good one. Her two charges,
Mary and Florence lirown. regard?d
her with the gientest affection, which
was ret tuned In like measure by the
old lad.

PASSING OF THE BED BABTT.
It Is No Longer a Striking" Foaturo
of tho Landscape. 1
I'roni tho StrouiUbure Time?.
A drive through tlm rural districts1
of Monroe county will find that "the
old red barn" Is going out of fnshion.
Newly erected barns are being painted
In other colors.
"There wns a time," said a paint
salesman tho other day, "when every
farmer painted his bnrn red. Tho
paint used wns called Venetian red and
wns made of oxldo of Iron Instead
ot white lead nnd zinc. It cost about
half ns much ns lend paint and stood
the weather well. The farmer boughr
this paint dry and mixed It with oil
himself and put It on himself. Now I
suppose about oue-lhird ot the coun
try's barns are painted red and about
two-thirds In other colors, with the
proportion of red burns still decreas
ing. This change is duo somewhat U
fnshion, and more to the wide Intro
duction of mixed paints leady for us".
"Nowadays prepared paints arti put
up In seoren of colois nnd shades, amr
innnv of them are manufactured tmd
sold 'us cheaply as tho old Venetian
ted wns. In the old days If tho far
mer wanted to paint any color but veil
he had to mix his own colors. If"
couldn't get a. painter to come from
town and mix tho colors unless Im
could also have the job of doing tlm
painting. Now tho farmer can buy
paint In any color or i-hadc that he
wants from sample cards, and when
ho knows the men of surface to be
i.ntnted he can ascertain Jut tlm
quantity required.
"In modern barn painting, the bod'
Is ot one color und tlm trimming 01
another. A pleasing stylo Is colonial.
In which tho body Is of light yellow
nnd the tilni white. Hut bnms nr.
painted also in grays nnd In otlwi
culms nnd with vnilous shades o
film, and, take everything together
tho old ted barn is being mote and
more crowded out by thosre painted In
model n fashion."
