"CLEAR THE WAY.”
The city lies in hushed repose, .
The wintry night wind freshly blows,
As if to rock the cradle host
In slumber‘s sweet oblivion lost.
But hark! a sound, and lo! a sight
That wakes the town in dead of night.
A shriek and a glare,
A cry of despair,
At the flames in their ire,
For the one word is "Fire!"
The people rush out,
And, with hurry and shout,
Press on to the light
As it brightens the nig!"
And spreads like a banner un.‘ '11) on high,
A sign and a terror against tli. sky!
But hark to the clatter, than made more sweet,
of the rolling wheels and the horses‘ feet!
“Out of the way—out of the way!
They come to save—now clear the way 1“
A sea of faces upward turned,
One fear by every heart inurned;
By ruddy light is clearly read
On every brow the anxious dread.
A mother "mid the bright light stands,
Her neck tight clasped by baby hands,
And through rear and hiss,
Not quite they miss
Her piteous frenzied cry;
But mounting quick on high
A hero springs,
His helm a star
Of hope, that fiings
A halo far
’Mid the lurid light;
For a moment lost then dimly seen
As it gleams on the sight,
The curling wreaths of smoke between!
Up the ladder One rushed, but Three come
down,
And the shining helm is a hero's crown!
Yet heeds not he what people say,
He only bids them “clear the way 1“

AT EVENTIDE.
I am too tired to sew; upon my lap,
Weary and spent, my idle fingers 110:
The needle is too heavy for my hand,
1 fold the tidy dress and put it by.
The little maid, so weary of her play,
Must wear her faded frock another day.
Here, close beside me, lies my dainty book,
With quaint, bright fancies ‘Inld its flowing
rhyme,
Waiting through all the full and busy hours
For one short space of free, untrammeled time.
I touch its covers with a tender hand—-
My brain is dull; I cannot understand.
I am too tired to pray, 0 pitying Lord!
I only know the day‘s hard tasks are done.
I bring my burdens—thou canst count them o‘er;
I lay them down before thee every one:
I only long for sleep, to still my pain,
And strength to take my burdens up again.-

Cancellation of Postage Stamps.
To look at the stamps, one would
scarcely imagine the trouble it required to
arrive at an absolutely safe combination
that will resist water, alkalies and acids.
It was once a serious question. At first it
was proposed to use certain kinds of
paper, but this proved not feasible, be-
causeaskillful operator could wash ofl
the ink without injuring the paper. Then
experiments were concentrated on the
printing, and water colors were proposed,
which would wash ofi with the applica-
tion of water. But it was found that the
heat of summer had the same efiect.
Alkalies and fugitive colors were also
tried, but they were proved valueless.
Still another method was to have the ink
fixed in the paper, but acids easily took
out the color. Finally a simple plan was
arrived at. This was to make the ink of
materials which chiefly compose ordinary
writing ink, and, therefore, what would
destroy the marking on the stamp would
destroy the stamp, which would be of the
same quality and character.—Postofilce

“Mr. Sampson,”‘she said with a blush,
- “I want to ask what you may think is a
very strange question: Do you know if
your 2 Mr. Brown is a gentleman of cor-

Mr. Sampson grew pale, and hemmed
and hawed: “Well—er—um—yes,” he
said, “I think he is, but, oh, Miss Smith
—-Miss Clara—Clara.”—
A little later he looked down into her
eyes and said:
“Why did you ask me about Mr.
Brown, darling?"
“BecauseI fancied he is becomingin-
terested in u very dear friend of mine,”
said the girl, unblushingly.-—Pliilip II.

Sons of Siam's King.
The king of Siam has sent four of his
sons to Europe and given them some very
good advice, which is published in The
Bangkok Times. He tells them ilot to as-
sume the title of prince in Europe, and
not to boast that they are princes. As the
king is defraying all the expenses from
his own private purse, and not out of the
funds of the state, he has decided on de-
positing a sum in the banks sufficient to
give each of them $1.600 a year for the
first five years and $2,000 a year for the
second five years. A sum of $18,000 will
be placed in the banks, bearing interest,
and each son will be able to draw the sur-
lplus on attaining the age of 21.—Chicago

"Arkansas Red Wood."
Sweet gum is a wood which has gone
through some very queer changes in name.
An Arkansas man once shipped a sample
car of what he caller ”Arkansas red wood”
to Philadelphia. It proved to be sweet
gum, but was accepted without any ob-
jections. Some enterprising dealer in
New York city, knowing the prejudice in
the market toward sweet gum, succeeded
in establishing a fairly good trade by call-
ing it “hazel wood.” More recently it
has been shipped to Europe under the
nameo “satin walnut;',' and it is being
used quite extensively among the cabinet
makers—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Anti-Malarlal Sunflower.
It is stated that since the sunflower has
been cultivated on certain swamps of the
Potomac, malarial fever has decreased.
At the mouth of the Scheldt, in Holland,
it is stated that similar results have been
obtained. The sunflower emits large vol-
umes of water in the form of vapor, and
its aromatic odor, as well as the oxygen
it exhales, may have to do with the sani-
fary influence in question—Public Opin-

The historical museum of Dresden has a

First Stock Broker's Wire.
The first private stock broker’s wire be-
tween New York and Chicago was put up
in 1881, and a few years later there were
fifteen such lines in operation between the
two cities, at an annual expense of $450,-
000. The number of these wires has now
been reduced to five, although the yearly
rental is only half what it was—New

Disinfectant from Coal Oil.
A powerful disinfectant, adapted to all

LONDON PHYSICIANS.
FEATURES OF HOSPITAL PRACTICE
IN THE ENGLISH METROPOLIS.
Reasons for the‘Superiorlty of American
Practitioners—Sir Morell Mackenzie.
Private Medical Practice in London.
Works on Medical Science.
Dr. William Campbell, one of the most
prominent physicians in Kansas, has been
in London studying features of London
hospital practice. Some of the observa-
tions made‘by him concerning the results
of his visit are very interesting. He said,
in conversation the other night, that the
practice of medicine in London was es-
sentially different from the practice in the
United States. In our country physicians
had much better opportunities, and he
was certain that they were all better
practitioners as a class. He has been in
the hospitals of Philadelphia and New
York, and now is of the opinion that a
student can gain more practical knowledge
in the hospitals of those cities than in
London, although study in a London hos-
pital gives a man a better name. The
American surgeons are much more skill-
ful operators than the English. They are
more delicate and gentle. It is to the
discoveries of American surgeons that
much of the mitigation of pain in opera-
tions has been reached. Dr. Campbell
says that in nearly all of, the London hos:
pitals American manufactured instru-
ments are used. Cocaine, an American
discovery, has only recently been em-
ployed.
Dr. Campbell gave some of the reasons
for the superiority of the American prac-
titioners. He said that when an Ameri-
can physician had secured a proper
amount of knowledge he could, with care
and attention, gain a general practice. He
became engaged at once in studying prac-
tical questions from actual experience.
While he is not as much of a book man as
the English physician, he has a much bet-
ter practical knOwledge. In England no
physician can hope to obtain a practice of
any value unless he has or has > had some
official connection with some of the great
hospitals. He cannot have a first class
practice unless he has reached a connec-
tion with a well known hospital, a mem-
bership in the Royal College of Surgeons,
or through some piece of special good
fortune, a title. -
" sin mourn. MAchxzm.
Take the case of Morell Mackenzie. His
' fortune is absolutely made through .the
title conferred upon him for his treat-
ment of the crown prince. Where he had
one patient before he had the crown
prince’s case, he now has at least twenty.
His income has gone up at least £12,000,
or £15,000, a year from his practice alone.
London has a very large number of
hospitals. Any one can go to the greater
number of them for free treatment. It
is supposed that only patients will apply
for free treatment who are not able to
pay. Yet Dr. Campbell says that in the
hospitals where he has been the greater
portion of the people who apply for free
treatment are well dressed and have
every appearance of being well to do.
Some of the ladies are in silks and furs
and give every evidence of possessing
ample means. One of the most striking
of the patients of this class was a hand-
some and gifted young lady who has
been studying on the continent for some
time preparatory to going on the operatic
stag . She was always accompanied by
her brother, who looked as well to do
and prosperous as she did handsome and
distinguished.
The treatment in the hospitals is rough
and careless of the patient’s feelings.
There is no patient who applies for free
treatment at the ”hospital who can escape
the personal examination of any of the
students who assist at the clinic. One
would think that a person of refined sen—
sibilities would not care to place himself
under the rude handling of English hos-
pital surgeons and the personal examina-
tion of thirty or forty students rather
than pay the fee which would be required
in consulting a physician in private prac-
tice. The well-to-do do not appear, how-
ever, to mind the disagreeable features en~
tailed upon a hospital consultation, They
hear all of its inconveniences with stolid
composure so long as they are able to save
the guinea fees which they would be re-
quired to pay for private treatment.
rnIVA'rE MEDICAL PRACTICE.
The surgeons in charge of the hospitals
encourage the people to come there to take
treatment. The reason of this goes back
to the whole system of medical practice in
London. It is the policy of the leading
and successful men in control of tho hospir'
tals to keep the private practice of medi:
cine in the fewest possible hands, By
treating the mass of people free in the
hospitals they make it impossible for the
younger physicians to obtain a practice
except by coming up through the difficult
path of hospital examination and ap-
proval. Those who are ‘in control of the
hospitals are few in number. Those who
can obtain connection with them are also
few. and to these few alone goes the pri‘
vate medical practice of London. Admis-
sion to the places in the hospitals is the 113—-
suit of competitive examination upon
theoretical subjectsK Physicians who hope
to get II practice often spend the greater ‘
part of their lives in unpaid attendance
upon the hospitals and in working upon
their books in order to reach a place where
they will be able to apply their learning
in the art of healing.
The physicians who are struggling to
make places for themselves often writs
works on medical science. Some of these
works have been eminently successful,
yet it is a fact that a number of eminent
London medical authors; who are quoted
the world round as high authorities upon
special subjects, have not reached n. posi-
tion where their private practice pays
their expenses. The high fees exacted is
' another part of the system of keeping pri-
vate practice in a few hands. The guinea
fee is exorbitant. Few people can afford
to pay the ordinary fees of a London
physician. The fellows of the Royal col-
lege cannot sue for debts for medical ser-
vices. Tkia is another element against
the younger practitioners. The fellows
are supposed to be in a position where
they do not need owner. and those who
do not intend to pay, but- Who 42931141 be-

Much. for Collecting Gems. ..
The gem collector is the latest. It is
said that Henry Ward Beecher is respon-
sible for the present taste for collecting
precious stones, and that since his death
many people, women chiefly, have begun
to buy up diamonds and colored stones.
not for display on their persons, but for
“keeps.” Sucha mania has its advan-
tages. 1n the first place, the risk of loss
is not as great as with pictures or brie-av
brac, and. in the next place, one little
chumois bag can transport thousands of
dollars without any special anxiety or the
payment of express rates. A dolicious
handful of sparklers of every huewas
shown me the other day by a lady who
has “gone in” for several other collection
crazes, but who assured me none had
given her so much solid comfort as this.
“I never care to wear my diamonds
now,” she said, poking at a beautiful
sapphire with the jeweler’s nippers she
held in her fingers. “You can’t see your:
self, you know, and so I’m going to have
them all taken from their settings, 11kg
those diamonds," and she nipped up a
solitaire that had hidden itself behind a
pearl that looked like a gold head. ”The
colored stones are all more or less in' this
batch; but at home I've hundreds of
queer, odd things that only please the eye
and have no temptation for thieves. My
diamonds, as I add to them, and this ruby,
which hasn’t its match in this country,
never leave me. When my friends want
to humor me they ask tosee the collection.
Every one wishes to know howimucb it is
worth, but that I never tell! It is great
fun collecting precious stones.’ Much bet-
ter than old furniture and pictures that

The Clerk and the "Looker."
The salesmen have some disagreeable
experiences with customers, and it issppie-
times hard for them to keep their temperi.
The worst fiend they encounter is the
woman who is “only looking.” She will
approach a counter and immediately
spread herself all over it. She asks to see
some calico of a certain print; this does
not suit her, and she asks for another
pattern, only to put it away and call for
something else. After the third call the
clerk begins to grow suspicious; ‘fshe’s .‘a
leoker,’ “ he says to himself. Still she
goes on callng for somethirgfielse.
“Haven't you this in red?”
“Yes’m.” (The clerk takes down the
desired style.) ,
“But I wanted something in red, with a
leafy figure; haven‘t you something in
that line?” .
The clerk looks her over, “Yes, why
didn’t you say that was what you
wanted?”
“Must I tell you your business; I'm
sure you’re the most perfectly awful stu-
pid man I ever saw; your”—
But here the desired styleis spread be-
fore her. It does not suit. The leaf is too
leafily leafy, or the figure is too utterly
too aesthetic, and she suddenly discovers
that it was not a red pattern at all that
she wanted, but a blue.
By this time her ingenuity is exhausted,
and with a sigh she turns away.
“I guess I won’t buy today," she says,
“because I’m only looking.”-D. J. Mc-

A REMEDY FOR BLIZZARDS.
Forestry Should Be Greatly Stimulated
by Dakota's Sad Experience.
Forestry, by the sad experience of this
winter. should be greatly stimulated in
Dakota. A blizzard is simply a strong,
cold wind, moving unchecked over leagues
of light, unpacked snow. It :sweeps up
that which has previously fallen, carries
it away in the color of a vast shaken
fleece, distributes it so that almost each
atmospheric atom has its little particle,
and drives along‘ all with a steady fury.
Whether fresh snow is falling can seldom
be determined by people out in a real bliz-
zard. As far as the eye can see upward,
and that is but a little space, the hurry of
minute pellets hurling “through ether"
across an unrevealed sky prevails, and the
hurrying sameness on every side is varied
only by occasional tall and bending
wraiths where .the‘ wind whirls in shifting
column. A confusion of the senses, com-
parable to none produced otherwise,
appals one submitted to the enormous and
blinding force of such a snow filled wind,
and scarcely a. distinct thought remains
except that the awful cold forbids crouch-
ing for rest and shelter.
To our personal knowledge, one in such
a storm keeps with difficulty upon a rail-
way track lifted three feet above the sur#
rounding prairie, and may be lost by five
steps the wrong way after stumbling
down from the embankment, which, being
white, becomes instantly invisible. It is
recorded on good authority that bands of
teamsters halting with their horses have
been snowed over thirty feet deep by
blizzards, and have survived by beating
out breathing chambers till the cessation
of the storm enabled them to dig them-
selves to upper air. The formation of a
drift about a halted man, or horse, or
sleigh is sometimes wonderfully speedy,
and the drift, once. established, grows by
virtue of its obstructiveness. In some
well authenticated cases lost persons have
been found by the drifts over them and
dug out alive, in others the spring has re-
vealed corpses still unthawed among the
last white relics of winter. In blizzards
people have often been unable to see across
the street of a northwest town, and some-
times men lose their direction in trying to
reach the opposite side of a well built
wa '.
This does not indicate that the blizzard
would prevail if large tracts of wood ob-
structed the wind, as the buildings of a
city do. The storm is fully developed
before reaching the town, and rages
through and over the comparatively small
builded space.’ But extensive forests or
many roadside belts of wood would keep
the blizzard down. Their frequent occur-
rence and the great loss of life from them
enforce the need, which exists from other
causes, for systematic tree planting on the
plains. To branch out roads, as they do
over lakes, rivers and plains in the Quebec
province, is impossible on the treeless
Nor would the device always
save travelers. The Mennonites have
wisely established a post road many miles
long in southern Manitoba. The posts
are about ten’ inches in diameter, fifteen
feet high, and not more, to our recollec-
tion, than fifty feet apart. Yet travelers
often stray from that road in blizzards.-

H'ousekeeping in Guatemala.
Perhaps the people of Guatemala are as
cleanly as others, but according to our
observation the common practice was to
allow the dogs to lick the dishes, which
received no additional washing. it was
the custom, also, at the table d’hote in
the hotels to finish a meal by filling the
mouth with water and squirting it on the
tiled floor. Once when we stopped at a
wayside house to get some coffee, the
senora made a little fire out of doors, put
the coffee in a very black pot to boil, and,
after fanning the reluctant fire with her
straw hat,‘threw herself on the ground
near by to rest and smoke her puro.
When the pot was near to boiling she
reached out her bare leg and tested the
temperature of the contents with her too,
as a northern cook might have used her
finger. At a hotel a tablecloth served also
for napkins, and the dishes were of many
patterns, colors and degrees of dirtiness.
It seemed absurd to call for a clean
plate, but We did so to see what would
happen. A large tame duck used to
waddle under my chair, and at last
would take bits of tortilla from my
hand, Several mangy dogs and cats had
to be driven out' whenever we sat down
to eat; but the hens were not disturbed,
for they contributed so- much to our
larder that they were privileged, and one
nested in an old felt hat on a corner
shelf, while another came cackling out
of one of the dark bedrooms that opened
on eithcrside.--VV. T. Bigham’s f‘Guat-

moaning traveler to the stars and the next
plunges him into an abyss hideous with
gloom and the hissing as of millions of

standing at the wheel of a ship running
before these seas, will never willingly
look behind them, lest the sight of the on-
coming rampant of green water, arching
toward the taffrail, should unnerve them.
Standing on a deck twenty feet above the
-water line you yet look up at the crest of
these seas as at the top of a mountain.
The gigantic grace, the huge majesty of
these liquid Titans cannot be described.
It is necessary to be how to to appreciate
their height, volume and power; to watch
from the low broadside the swelling ap-
proach of the mighty mass, with its
freckled front and foainlcss head flicker-
ing iii bottle green to the dull light of the
gray sky; to feel the sweep of the ship up
the enormous ucclivity, and then while,
for the space of a breath only, she hangs
poised with upright masts and shrieking
rigging on tho headlong brow, to look
down and behold the valley beneath, into
which the vessel an instant after slides
like a comet.
It. is difficult to write of the seas which
run in heavy weather off the southern-
most point of South America without
I'laiiUf being charged with exaggeration;
they must be seen, and a little spell of
custom will render admiration easy. It
is impossible to be tossed by them in such
vessels as now make the passage of the
Iorn, without wondering by what miracle
of luck or phenomenal merit of seaman-
ship the old navigators were enabled to
beat against them in their small half
decked boots, some no bigger than a Deal
lugger, without a touch of the weatherly
qualities of such craft.
CYCLOXIC AGlTATon.
But let it not be supposed that the high
wave is the dangerous one. The regular
running surges may all be as tall as the
biggest hotel in London, with a ninth
fellow among them as high as the monu-
ment, and yet none prove nearly so dan-
gerous as the pyramidal seas of the
cyclone. Of all forms of vexed water the
cyclonic agitation is the worst. Here is a
whirlwind of astonfshing fury so many
miles in diameter. For a little while it
runs a steady sea, but presently its gym-
tions brings up a. surge from another
quarter; then comes the lull, followed by
r. frightful outfly of storm from a. direc-
tion opposite to the point from which the
wind last blew. The seas, coming into
collision, fight like wolves. They snap
and howl, leaping high in conifled shapes
in the very similitude of, sentient
passion. The staggering of the
ship is indescribable. There is no
rythmic swing to give her motions
something of the vibrations of 'the pendu-
lum. Her decks are filled with water,
while her bows dive into a chasm thatlmii
opened under her forefoot, a valley yawns
underlier stern and a bill of water flashes
up on either side. It has not been sug-
gested that the altitude of the cyclonic
wave should :‘be determined. Probably
there is no eye afloat equal to such an 'un-
dcrtuking. -
Another very uncomfortable sea. is the
volcanic wave; Itis not very long ago
that n. vessel, steaming through quiet
waters; on :1 dark night, was Suddenly
hurled up by an invisible billow that was
reckoned to be between thirty and forty
feet high. Three such waves passed under
her, the lastbcliig the least in volume,
and then all was dead flatness of ocean
again. The stoulest heart might well
thump to such an encounter as this.—

The Gateway to ,Good Health.
To the gold hunter Pike’s Peak proved
to be tlie.guf‘ewa.y to the wealth of the
Rocky mountains. To many an invalid
it has proved to be the gateway to new
life. Here, 0,000 feet above the sea, the
pure, dry air. the strong, warm sunshine,
the beautiful surroundings, have drawn
together a town of 7,000 inhabitants.
gtrglngers frequently remark that our'
mountains .m‘c so forbidding in aspect,
have so little beauty, that one could never
learn to love them. In a short time this
opinion is changed or forgotten, and it is
a noticeable fact among our townspeople
that in the matter of liking or disliking
their mountain home there is no half way
measure, they love it strongly or not at
it“: To a lover of nature the barrenness
and sacral ng inipeiietriibility of our mount-

OUR NEIGHBOR’S PITY.
That day our little one lay dead,
And we were sad and sore of heart,
And all the joy of life seemed fled,
Our neighbor sought to ease the smart.
Oh! strange sweet power of sympathy!
That grief should find assuagement thus!
Our sorrow seemed the less to be,
The more we thought, she pities us!
And ‘thcn she said, how blest was she,
Since God had still denied her prayer,
Nor set a baby on her knee;
For such a gift meant such a care!
Our pain was stilled by sad surprise;
New feelings in our heart did stir,
We looked into Our neighbor's eyes,
And piticd her—and pitied her.
4—Daniel McIntyre Henderson.

The Consumption of Peanuts.
“The total consumption last year,”
said a dealer, "was about 3,100,000 bags,
an increase of 400,000 bugs over the pre-
. vious year, and exceeding the consump~
tion of five years ago by more than 1,000,-
; 000 bags. ”
“Assuming that 3,000,000 bags of pea-
nuts were consumed last year, what does
that represent in money?”
“Well, in round numbers, it means the
consumption of 100,000,000 quarts, and
at the regular price charged by retailers
and vendors, which is ten cents per quart,
it shows that peanut caters paid $10,000,-
000 to gratify their liking. Probably one-
half of this large sum is clear profit to
the retailers. as the value of the crop to
the growers is estimated at less than
$2, 000,000. —New York Mail and Express.
Flat Headed Indians.
The custom of flattening the beads by ,
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. It was done in in-
fancy with a. but made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
It has been so often described by numer-
ous writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here
have been unable to see any difference
between the intellect of those whose heads
have thus been flattened and those which
are natural. Some of the Indians, how-
ever. believe lliat it has caused numerous
headaches among them in after life. Very
few infants are thus treated noun—Cor.
American Antiquarian.
Candy for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia claims to make and cut
more candy in proportion to population
than any other city in the country. There
are eighty-seven manufacturers and
wholesalers and 1,200 retailers, and they
use more than $1,000,000 of capital and
consume 100,000 tons of. sugar every year.
Cara-mels are a great specialty of the trade
in that city. For other places much
chocolate and walnut candy and many'
gum drops are made. Six tons of gum
drops were shipped from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg the week before Christmas.
Brooklyn makes the most chewing gum,
it is said, and Boston eats the most of it.
—New York Sun.
In Southeastern Tennessee.
“One day a man whom I met,” said the
Chicago man, “had occasion to go from
his home to. the county seat. He was a
man of more intelligence than most of his
fellows, but he had never in his life been
away from home before. He had never
seen a tov’vn. The nearest approach to one
he had seen was the collection of houses
about the store where he sold his truck
and bought his bacon. \thn he got back
from the county seat I asked him what he
thought of what he saw. ‘lVell,’ said he,
‘nll I got for say is this: If this world is as
big on the right uv us as it is on the left
she must lie a regiur whale.’ ”—Cliiczlgo
Tribune.
A Chiinpnnzee’s Grief.
Dr. Brown has given a description of
the grief manifested by a chimpanzee on
the death of. its mate. His grief was
shown by tearing his hair or snatching at
the short hair on his head. The yell of
rage was followed by a cry the keeper had
never heard before, a sound which might
be represented by hah-ah-alnah-ah ut-
tered somewhat under the breath, and
with a plaintive sound like a moan.—

Expenses of the French Capital.
The budget of the expenses of the city
of Paris amounts to 303,500,000 francs.

street paving and cleaning cost 20,000,000;
the water and sewer service, 8,000,000,000;
trees, lighting and watering, 9,500,000;
police, 25,000,000; public charities, 21,-

Flowers for “'31! Street.
Among the many expenses that \Vall
street brokers have to face every year is
the item for flowers with which they
brighten and adorn their offices. \V’iiiter
and summer, spring and fall, huge bunches
of expensive posies are kept on hand in
many of the very attractive offices. It is
reckoned that the average expense for an
office is $10 a day. At dusk the office
boys and lesser clerks divide the flowers.
