FIRE EXPERIENCES.
KATE CLAXTON TALKS ABOUT HER
MANY NARROW ESCAPES.
She Says That Slio Is In Reality a Cow
ard Whenever Who* Hears the Cry ot
"Ilrot Fire!”—Her Escapes Have Heen
Duo to Extreme Coolness.
For over fifteen years Knto Clnxton
lias been pursued by u peculiar form of
ill luck. In spite of tho little woimua’s
pluck, which lias made her a heroine of
several fires and a dozen or so of panics,
she rather shrinks front the subject, and
it is with difficulty that she can bo per
suaded to tell of sonio of tho escapes
from the flames that slio has had.
Ilor experience at Harris’ theatre,
when the cry of firo caused a panic, is
only one of tho several through which
sho has passed sinco 1875, tho year of
tho celebrated Brooklyn firo. Slio had
just been dragged from lint stage by La
Frocltard, the ling in "The Two Or
phans,” when a reporter sought her out.
The excitement of tho false alarm had
left her nerves a little shattered, slio ex
plained. When reference was made tn
her apparent coolness olio said that her
manner showed nothing of what she
really felt.
"I was very much wrought up. No
one can toll what that cry of fire meant
tome. L had begun to think that my
evil genius had forgotten my existence,
it seemed so long sinco tho last panic.
I was in an exceptionally good humor,
and was sitting on the steps of the plnt-
form when tho stampede began. As is
always my first impulse, I rurdiod io see
the flames. 1 did not doubt that the
building was ahlazo. At otto glance,
however, I saw tliero was no danger,
except that which comes with every
panic.
“You know,” she said, “that I dread
a panic worse than 1 do a fire. My ex
perience has heen that morn people are
crashed to death in their efforts to got
out than nro ever burned alive. The
escapes I have made, which sonio seem
to think almost miraculous, wore the
result of coolness and presence of mind.
\\ lion tho cry of firo is given I never
allow my impulse to run with tho crowd!
to govern mo. I imperil my lifo some
what in order to seek out tho danger
and cltooso tiio best method of escaping
from it. Often, it seemed to me after
ward, had I followed tho mad rush
for tho main exits 1 would never ltavo'
escaped.
“1 try to impress everybody with the
snino idea. First view the situation:
and figure up the chances for escape.
When ilto Southern hotel in St. Louis
was burned, for instance, at which time
twenty-seven lives were lost, l never did
any of the romarknhln feats which have
heen attributed to me. Tho story
generally believed that l rolled down the
hunting stairs in wot blankets. Tito fact
was 1 staid in tho burning building un
til 1 had discovered a safo means of es
cape. Tho fact that i was one of the
last to get out caused dozens of reports
to he spread.
“My reputation us a tiro fiend began
tho second year I noted in 'Tho Two
Orphans.' I was playing in Brooklyn.
I had thrown myself on the straw bed
to sleep. I had closed my eyes, and for
this reason did not discover tho fire at
first. When 1 was awakened and or
dered to get up 1 saw tho tire creeping
along tho top of the theater. Every one
remembers tho fatal ending. Four hun
dred persons wero burned or trampled
to death, among whom wero tlireo of
the company. Tito next year, 1878, 1
was caught in tho 8t. Louis tiro. Ever
since then I have been considered a fore
runner of tires.
“I can only account for tho numerous
false alarms and panics from tho fact
that there aro always some superstitious
person in tho audience who, believing
mo to he followed by tin evil genius,
shouts fire at the slightest provocation.
More panics have heen caused by fights
in tho streets and alleys titan in any
other way. Just a short time ago there
was a panic in La Crosse, Wis., caused
in tho identical way as tho ono here.
Another panic, which camo near being
a disaster, was caused by a street fight
in front of the Owens opera liottso, in
Charleston, S. O. When one starts it is
impossible to chock it, 1 ltavo tried
screaming to tho audience, hut it only
makes it worse. My presence often
seems to check a stampede. At the close
of tho panic hero I made up tny mind to
have mo a big sign printed with the
words, ‘It is only a fight.'
“Of all the theater panics 1 ltavo been
in only three were caused from tiro.
Several times tho flies have heen ablaze
without any otto in tho audience know
ing it. I ltavo hecomo morbid on the
subject of lire, and no matter how late
at night it is, if tin alarm is sounded 1
always dress and go. When the Fifth
Avenue theater, in New York, burned 1
was present and watched it to the end.
If I had heen seen it would probably
have heen said that my presence caused
it. I do not desorvo the reputation of
being bravo in fires, for I am a great
coward, so great a ono that it often en
ables mo to seem self sustained. After
such a flight am left completely un
nerved.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.
l uus ill Shukuapuure’a Time.
Fans in Shakespeare’s time seem to
have been composed of ostrich and
other feathers fastened to handles.
Gentlemen carried fans in those days,
and in one of tho later figures of tho
german they now carry fans. Accord
ing to an old manuscript in the Asli-
moleau museum, Sir Edward Colo rode
tho circuit with a prodigous fan, which
had a long stick, with which lie cor
rected his daughters.—Chicago Herald.
THE SONG OF PEACE.
A song is astir In tho air,
And I would drink it in
With tho scent of tho rosea rich and
rare;
Rut still tho Imttio’s din
Kings In my oars and deafens rue;
I cannot hoar tho strain.
Tho noiso of the world, its misery.
Tlirobu liko u bitter pain.
Rut now and then, ns in despair
I seek to rend tho bonds,
Comes a burst of harmony on tho air
To which my heart responds;
And (Iron tho echo of the fray
A moment scorns to cease;
Though tho wondrous harmony dies
away,
That moment brings mo peace.
And then I pray I may rotaln
A peacefulness of heart.
Though the warrior’s laurels I fail to
gain,
Or riches of tho mart,
tor that sweet song will givo mo rest,
And banish all distress:
Tho flowers of Cod and tho gold of tho
west
Will bo my happiness^ -

Tho Nicotiuo Tost.
Any ono desirous of testing tho quan
tity of nicotine which ho probably ah
sorbs into his system front a homing
cigar can do so by a simple experiment.
Lot hint take a mouthful of sntoke, then
fold his handkerchief double, placo It
across his lips and violently blow 4he
smoko through tho linen, wlion ho will
soo a brown stain on tho cloth from tho
tobacco oil contained in tho smoko.
Tho quantity from a singlo mouthful
of smoko is often sufficient to stain
brown a section of tho handkerchief us
large as a silver dime. When this is
tho result of a single inhalation tho
quantity of nicotine absorbed by tho
system of a man who is smoking all day
must ho very considerable, particularly
if, as in tho case of cigarette smokers,
ho draws tho smoko into his lungs anil
so exposes a much larger surfaco to its
deleterious influences.—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.

This lias heen a season of hailstones,
and the editor lias been keeping tally on

“1 s’pose," lie said solemnly, "that
you wouldn’t object to an item of news
on the hail question?”
“Not much,” responded the editor en
couragingly, as lie reached for pencil
and paper.
“Thought not," commented the
farmer.
“What have you got?" inquired the
editor.
“Eighteen pullets," sai l the farmer
warily, “that lay eggs as largo t.s hail

and with a sharp ponknifo shaved the
outer sutfneo down to a hard, smooth

smooth, thus considerably shortening
tho piece, carefully hollowed the bowl,
and a reed stem placed in a small hole
near tho bottom completed tho pipe.

Wo learn that when reports of the late
Cyras VV. Field’s financial embarrass
ment began to ho circulated Mr. P. D
Armour, of this city, communicated to
Dr. Henry M. Field tho willingness of
certain western frlamls to provide his
brother with tho means to repair his
shattered fortunes. This proffer gave
the dying man great solace and gratifica
tion, but it was declined.—Chicago News-
Record.

Tho Chinose carried their loadstone ns

north.—Now York Telegram.

There exists in Chicago a socioty the
membership of which is restricted to
colored men with white wivos. The ob
ject is to benefit a class of persons who,
for their inter-racial marriage, are ostra
cized by both hlucks and whites.
The keen notice of trifles and tho rapid
matching in tho mind of causo and ef
fect, constitute what may he called the
detective quality, which belongs to its
highest grade to great inventors or nat

He proposed on tho way homo from
church one Sunday evening. She was
too young to marry and did not want 1
him; but she said “Yes,” with the stip-1
ulation that he sltou.d get her father’s'
consent. Tho young mini was happy I
until he discovered the next day that his !
adored one^s father had heen dead sev- j
eral years.—London Tit-Bits. I
It has only heen eighey-one years since
tho first tomatoes were introduced into
America. The original plant was culti
vated as a vegetahlo curiosity at Salem,
Mass.
Walter Besant, the English novelist,
wus intended by his parents for the
church, but he turned naturally to lit
erary work,
Davy’s tlcftoai chon.
Bir Humphry Davy was so much in
terested in electricity that ho made
many experiments which havo become
historical in their utility. His brilliant
discoveries so excited him that he could
with difficulty lcavo them for needed
repose. He would have killed himself
by his constant experiments and steady
application to tho science had he not
beconto prostrated nnd his lifo endan
gered thereby. Ilia remarkable experi
ments, brilliant and triumphant, aro yet
to bo outdono by more modern philoso
phers. Sir Humphry Davy's great bat
tery, composed of 2,000 cells, beeanio
world wide and historically honored. It
was the origin of the first flashes of what
is now termed tho electric arc. That
was eighty years ago, and uoto tlio grand
discoveries sinco then:
Tho idea of two pieces of charcoal, ono
about an inch long and one less than a
sixteenth part of an inch in diameter,
being brought near to each oilier, till
they produce a bright spnrk, for so they
did. One part of tho coal wns imme
diately ignited to a whiteness, and by
removing them apart Davy found a con
stant discharge of electricity took placo
sufficiently strong to bent tho air in a
given spaco three times their size. Ho
caught tho idea in a moment nnd studied
out tlio mystery which the two pieces of
coal had produced, a grand scheme
and discovery. Ho saw the most bril
liant ascending light, liko a glowing
arch, broad and perfectly conical in tlio
middle.
The philosopher experimented to his
heart’s content, each day bringing forth
new discoveries, and there is now no
higher scientific nanio known to meu or
more honored for his great works and
discoveries than Davy, who, liko Frank
lin, lived in Ids scientific experiments
and for humanity.
Ho, too, saw glorious discoveries to he
made, nnd hoped to live to witness tho
result of many of his own discoveries.—
Now York Tologram.
Strange Indian lfendii*
Among the Indians of Nortli America
many strange beliefs aro held respecting
demon heads that wander about, some-
tiinos harmlessly niul at other timeR for
malignant purposes. Some of thorn nro
of gigantic size, with wings, while otb
ers have faces of (ire.
There used to ho a socioty among the
tho Iroquois organized for tlio purpose
of propitiating theso extraordinary ter
rors. Tho latter, according to popular
conception, most commonly moved about
from tree to tree in solitary places,
where they wero apt tu bo encountered,
much to tlio discomfort of hunters and
women who chanced to bo alone in tlio
forest. Few tilings can bo imagined
more disagrceahlo than to» meet unex
pectedly in tlio woods a great lieud six
feet high, without legs, arms or body.
Occasionally theso remarkable crea
tures would talk, hut it was chiefly nt
night that they had a fiery nspect, their
favorite nocturnal haunts being marshes
and pools. Members of tlio exercising
socioty wore masks in imitation of tho
heads when they performed ceremonies
for tho purpose of driving such demons
away. Of course tho firo faces were
invented to account for the jack-o’-lan
terns or “ignes fatui" which haunt moist
places.—Washington Star.
Kitchen Work n Proud Occupation,
Kitcliening seems to ho the only spe
cies of work that no one need blush for,
and, niter all, does not hunger justify
the means? In the midst of that period
of the French revolution known as tlie
reign of terror, did not tlie ex-C'apucine
monk, Cliabot (an expert in the science
of good living) invent tlio “omelette
truffee aux pointes d’asperges," and nlso
“a la puree do pintades?” Did you know
that it was to tlio elector of Bavaria that
wo owe tho “havaroise,” which was pre
pared and mado undor his own eyes for
tho first time nt tho Cafe Procope?
Modern history also offers noble ex
amples to our admiration. Tho Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria, that accomplished
horsewoman, that sovereign of a court
where aristocratic prejudices nro of tho
strongest kind, glories in tier talent as
a pastry cook. Her daughter, tlio Arch
duchess Valeria, boasts of having pene
trated all tlio secrets of tho ancient and
modern cuisine. Queen Victoria is very
fond of making omelets, and it seems
she has several recipes. Her daughter-
in-law, the Princess of Wales, excels in
preparing tea and buttered toast.—Paris
Intermediairo.
Tho DcHign of a Jewel.
The design of a jewel should he such
that we can take pleasure in tlie idea of
its permanence. Wo associate perma
nence with a star, and therefore a star
form in jewelry is agreeable. But tran
sient forms, liko flowers or ribbon bows,
unless they aro much conventionalized,
present u disagreeable congruity. They
ought to change with timo, and they do
not. Imitations of such objects may
please for a moment the curiosity of the
vulgar, hut interest in them, oven for
such, is exhausted as soon us they have
been examined, and the cultivated taste
finds them intolerable. Interest in an
object of true art, on the contrary, never
grows less.—Harper's Bazar.
Wlieu They Ilecume Acquainted.
“I know that woman when she lived
in an attic.” “Yes, I can remember
that time perfectly. It was when you
wero living in the basement of the same
house.” Then there was a silence, and
the waves gossiping to the beach had it
all to themselves.—Boston Saturday
Guzotte.
A Sensitive Funiily.
July 16, 1876, Jean Lafargue, his wife
and a daughter nineteen years of age
committed suicide by hanging them
selves in the dining room, all because a
neighbor had accused them of stealing
vegetables from her garden. This at
Oise, France.—St. Louis Republic.

I'he Author of mi Otil Campaign Song.
There is satisfactory evidence that tlie
words of “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Ton,"
Were written by A. C. Ross, of Zanes
ville, O. This was tho original song.
Tlie words then comprised only a com
paratively few verses. Tho song was
such a success (hat additions were mado
to thorn in all direction. Here Is an
Instance in point. The Whigs unexpect
edly carried the state of Maine, electing
Edward Kent hv a very small margin
for governor. This verso immediately
appeared:
Rave you lionril from Maine, Maine, Malno,
good news anil true?
It went, liell bent, for Governor Kent, and
Tippecanoe nnd Tyler too.
And with them we’ll bent little Van, Van,
Van.
Oh, Van Is a “used up man,” etc.
As regards the music, it was adapted
from a familiar air of the times, which .
hud the not very attractive name of |
“Little Pig’s Tail.” Ht*nry Russell was |
nn Englishman, and at that period was
the most popular concert singor in this 1
country. lie wns a composer, but he
did not compose this tune, nnd probably*
would not have heen very proud if he
had heen credited with its authorship,
It is altogether likely that the Whigs
engaged him to sing it in Boston, as ho
told our correspondent that lie did sing
it as ho stood in a window near tho cor

Mr. Russell must ho a gentleman well
advanced in years by this time. It is a
great many years since ho ceased toeing

of nauticul novels.—Boston Herald.
Coins of Value.
“Some pennies are worth a good deal
of money,” said a dealer in coins. “If
you como across nn old collection of
copper cents in an out of tho way corner
you will do well to examine their dates
carefully. From tho point of view of
the numismatist their value depends
largoly upon their condition. For ex
ample, for a cent of 1790 in a fair state
of preservation wo pay fivo dollars, but
for a specimen of tlio same issue in first
rate condition wo would pay from ton
to twenty-five dollars, and for a perfect
cent of 1799—that is, as bright and sharp
ns the day it wus coinod—wo will pay
$100.
“Do not attempt to clean coins that
are in fine condition. They should bo
held only by the edges in liandliug them,
and ought to be kept wrnppoil carefully
in chamois skin or soft tissue paper or
laid on velvet. Gold and silver coins
may bo rinsed, not washed, in hot water
anil soap. Copper coins should be placed
in sweat oil only to remove grease and
dirt. Acids nnd Bconring will ruin any
coin of worth. Ago does not necessarily
make value in coins. Tho old Spanish
silver pieces current in this country
from 1100 to 1800 uro worth no more
than their face, and tlio samo is the case
with cents of 1,708, 1802 and 1803, as well
as with half dollars of dates between
1805 anil 1835.”—Washington Star.
An Olil Question Asketl Anew.
The old question lias been lately asked
anew, Why fill tho infant inind with
images of cruelty and horror? Why
suggest to innoconce the dreadful vision
of ogres fattening captives liko sheep
for their table? Why torture it witli
that appalling cabalistic bloody invoca
tion, Fee, faw, film? Why permit the
hoary murderer Bluo Beard to terrify
tho young before in historical sequence
they reach Henry VIII, in no exten
uating page of Froudo, hut as tho
griHly murderer and dofondor of tlie
faith of the older annals? And why per
plex tho callow pilgrim scarcely em
barked on tho journey of life, which the
reverend nnd the wise describo as a
moral warfare, by tho rhyme which de
dares tho greedy thief of a plum from
tho copious pudding a good boy?
Why is a glutton who triumphs in his
gluttony to bo commended in honeyed
measure as good, while nothing is said
in praiso—nay, he is not even mentioned
—of the virtue of tho unnamed com
rade, who was undoubtedly present and
who restrained his desire to pull om
plums, ami who, so far ns posterity
knows, pot only had no plum, but also
forbore' the sauce?—George William
Curtis in Harper’s.
Railroad Speed and Obstructions.
Two yeurs ago a cow was seen in the
nfiddlo of the Monou tracks in front of
a train. The engineer tried to stop, and
the result was tho locomotive was de
railed and the engineer killed. A fow
months ago tlie writer was riding on an
engine on the Chicago division of the
Pennsylvania, and a herd of cattle got
on tlio track. The train was running
almost forty miles an hour, but when
the engineer suw them he “throw her
wide open,” and went into them at full
seventy-five miles an hour.
No damage was done except to “muss
up” the engine extensively. The engine
man was asked why he had thrown on
tho oxtra speed. His reply was that
had he been running slow it was eight
chances to ten that he would have left
the track.—Indianapolis News.
Standing Dear.
A hook could ho written about Stand
ing Bear. Properly speaking he is not a
Sioux, hut a Northern Cheyenne. With
Crazy Horse, Hunting Hog and old
Chief Gall he lias heen at the head of
nearly all the notable Indian wars .for
twenty years. He routed tlie Pawnees
nnd once killed ten white men in a lone
some canyon single handed. On another
occasion ho defied and defeated alone
thirty cavalrymen. It was Standing
Bear who under Sitting Bull routed tlie
United Stales forces when Custer died
on tlie Little Big Horn.—San Francisco

A Plain Statement.
A Hartford girl called on a physician
recently who is as plain in his speech as
liis patient is in respect to her face. He
tried to cheer her; her ailment being
only a trifling matter, ho said. “Oh,
doctor,” she groaned, “I feel worse than
I look.” Then, my dear young lady,
there is no hope for you,” replied the
doctor.—Philadelphia Ledger.
