WHOme. Sweet Home. >,

The "Tile Club" (of young New
York artists), recently went on trip to
the eastern end of Long island, which
trip is commemorated in Scribner'S
Magazine. We quote the following
about the home of John Howard Payne:
Payne declared thathe had first heard
the tune of 4" Home, Sweet Home from
the lips of Sicilian peasant girl, who
sang it artlessly as she sold some sort
of italian wares, and touched his fine
ear by the purity of her voice. 1t is
pleasant to think he did not crib it from
any old opera, but had a certain propri-
etorship in the air, as we'll as the words,
of the most popular song extant.
The "home " he was thinking of, as
he traced the deathless lyric in some
London rookery, was undoubtedly
Easthampton. A few years later, he
expanded it's opening words in maya
zine description of his native town.
"Many an eye wearied with the glare of
foreign grandeur" he wrote Demo
cratic Revie,O, February, 1889, "will,
ere long. lull itself to repose in the
quiet beauty of this village" The
stenciled expressions of "foreign
grandeur, " and "eyes wearied with the
glare" what are they but repetitions OF
| the opening of both stanzas-the "pleas =
ures and palaces of stanzl one "the
exile from home splendor dazzles in
vain, :" of stanza two? Easthampton is
what supplies the sentiment, the type,
the foil, the contrast of the song. East,
hampton still exists, Just as he knew it,
like vignette perpetuNted in electro.
type. The "tavern sign in the center
Of the road " is gone, though, which he
described " swinging between the two
posts -" while the geese strut with
slow and measured stateliness to their
repose." The geese still parade down
the grassy street, getting between the
visitors legs every minute, and are rs
obtrusive as they are in Payne's letters
and descriptions. Yes-it is an unro-
mantle discovery, but there cannot be a
Ioubt of it" the birds singing sweet
ly" of Payne's ballad, "that came at
my call, were ganders, and their
sweetness was hiss.
From the age of thirteen; when he
left the ample hearth of his fathers
house here, the hymnist of "Home 4"
was homeless; that is, until the theatri-
cal structure of his latter months arose
at the command of the Afrites, and he
lay down to die in his Arabian Nights
palace, hungering for the thatch, "the
sooty chimney-throat of this delicious
cot" "Thatched " cottages, by the by,
we're to be found in Easthampton when
Payne was a youth,

in all times OF confusion and trouble
have continue to utter the same distinct
watchword of busint IS, even as at night
the clocks of large cities, regulated by
one hand, strike the hours at the same
moment.
When steam and electricity came into
use the former great strideSCf tpecula-
tion were no longer possible. But the
RothschildS anticipated these inyen-
tions. The Baron James, at Paris, it
is said, fastened to seize and use these
new levers, which otherwise would have
destroyed him. He was the principal
protector Of the French railways, and is
said to have wept tears of Joy on sending
the first telegram to San francisco. He
had calculated the difference of time
between Paris and San francisco, and
knew that the answer would come dur
ing the day. He awaited it in feverish
silence. 1t came at the hour he had
calculated.
The Rothschilds are, for the most
part, Jews. The tomb OF the Paris
family is opposite that of Rachel in the
cemetry of Pere Lachaise. An ar is
sculptured i'll relief on the white stone
Of the modest chapel. The inclosure in
front is sown with pebbles. Every Jew
who visits grave leaves a stone.
The project of buying Palestine and
reinstating the Jews has been attributed
to the Rothschilds, but as they have
never taken any steps toward it, it is
probable that they either never thought
of it or speedily abandoned it.
Many stories are told of their shrewd-
ness, and while some OF them true, moro
are legendary.
One of the best known is that of the
Paris banker, who, when two commun-
lists entered his bank and demanded
that he share his property with them.
gave them each five franc piece and told
them that was their share as near as he
could calculate it.
1t was a Rothschild, too, who, while
playing cards, was much annoyed by
another player, WHO stopped the game
in order that he might find a piece of
money that had fallen upon the carpet.
Rothschild thereupon folded bank
note, lit it and held it for him, saying,
"Tbere, my good man, hurry up while
l hold the light"

WHY they ExplOde.

The Scientific AnteT iodn explains the
philosophy of kerosene lamp explosions.
Read and learn how to avoid danger :
All explosions of petroleum lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that collects
in the space above the oil. OF course,
a full lamp contains no gas, but immedi-
a'ely on light ng the lamp consumption OF
oil begins, soon leaving o space for gas,
which commences to form as the lamp
warns up; and after burning a short
time sufficient gas will accumulate to
form an explosion. The gas in lamp
will explode only when ignited. In this
respect tbs like gunpowder, Cheap or
Interior oil is always the most danger
GUS. The flame is communicated to the
gas in the following manner The wick
tube in the lamp-burners is made
larger than the wick which is TO pass
through it. It would not do TO have
the wick work tightly in the burner ;
on the contrary, it is essential that it
move up and down with perfect ease
In this way it is unavoidable that space
in the tube is left along the size of the
wick sufficient for the flame from the
burner to pass down into the lamp and
explode the gas.
Manysthings occur to cause the flame
to pass down the wick and explode the
lamp. 1. A lamp may be standing on
the table or mantel, and a slight puff of
air from the open window or door may
cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be
taken up quickly from a table or msntel
and instant y exploded. g. A lamp is
taken into an entry where there is a
draught, or out of doors, and an explo-
sion ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken
mp fight of stairs, or is raised quict ly
to place it on a mantel, resulting in an
exp osiOn. In these instances the mis-
chief is done by the air movement, either
by suddenly checking the draught or
forcing air down the chimney against
the flame. 5. Blowing down the chin
ney to extinguish the light is a frequent
cause of explosion. 6. Lamp explosions
have been caused by using n chimney
broken off at the top, or one that has a
piece broken, whereby the draught is
variable and the fame unsteady. 7.
Sometimes thoughtless person puts a
small-sized wick in large burner, thus
leaving considerable space along the
edges of the wick. 8. An old burL er,
with it's air draughts closed up, which
rightIully should be thrown away, is
sometimes continued in use, and the
final result is an explosion.
