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^ - —Kluvel Scott Mlnea In Harper’s Razor 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. Egg, n. Large <■• Uallilone*. This lias heen a season of hailstones, and the editor lias been keeping tally on the largest specimens.

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 uralists.

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.

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.

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 ner of Washington nnd Milk streets. Mr. Russell must ho a gentleman well advanced in years by this time. It is a great many years since ho ceased toeing in public in this country. It may bo in teresting to know Unit ho is tlio father of W. Clark Russell, the popular writer 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.
