scarlet fever and measles. One was buried =
few weeks ago, but the other two, having just
died, were laid out in preparation for the grave
upon q bed in q room adjoining the one in which
the family resided. Lighted candles were placed
around the couch, and the dead left alone. II
is supposed that ope of the candles fell from its
socket and communicated fire to the surround
ing drapery. At all events, about O'Clock this
morning flames were seen issuing from the
room, and on entering the bed on which the
dead were resting was found to be in flames
and the inanimate bodies being slowly con-
sumed. The alarm was given and the ire ex.
tinguished with Q few pals OF water. The
damage to the property was trifing, but the boz

There are probably few, however, famil-
lar with the subject Of the rapid increase
Of capital put at interest, who would not
be startled at the statement that the cost
Of the outfit of Christopher Columbus in
his first voyage of discovery, put at inter
est at six per cent. would by this time have
amounted to more than the entire money
value Of this Continent, together with the
aecumulations from the industry Of all who
have lived upon it. If any doubt this, let
them reckon the amount, estimating the
entire outfit to have cost only the small sum
of five thousand dollars, and remembering
that money doubles at six per cent. in a
little less than twelve years-or accurately,
in eleven years, ten months and twenty
one days. Allowing it to double every
twelve years, this FIVE thousand dollars at
interest at six per cent. since 1892, it will
be found, would have amounted to S17,-
1896, 200, ,000,0 which estimating the
population Of the entire continent Of
America North and South to be eighty
five millions, or seventeen million families
(averaging five members each) would give
more than million dollars as the posses
sion of every one of these. The interest
on million dollars at six per cent. is sixty
thousand dollars, which would now be the
princely annual income of each of these
seventeen million families, from the accu-
mutations up to this time upon so small n
sum as that named for the outfit Of the
discoyerer.
In Hildreth's History of the United
States" it is stated that Manhattan Island
-afterward called New Amsterdam, now
the city of New York-was bought by the
Dutch from the Indians for sixty guilders,
or twenty-four dollars 1924, and this only
about two hundred and fifty years ago.
And yet, if the purchaser could have Sc
curely placed that s24 where it would
have added to the principal annually, in
terest at the rate Of seven per cent, the
accumulation would exceed the present
market value of all the real estate of the
city and county Of New York.
Again, if n man at the age Of twenty
FIVE, should commence business with a
capital of one hundred thousand dollars,
and could by any possibility add thereto
interest at the rate of seven per cent. an
nually, the result would be Tin round
