Keep Cool.


The people of Reno, Nevada, have
recently furnished an example of cool
ness in time of danger which may well
serve as an example to the subjects of
the efete despotisms of the Old World.
Had the unfortunate spectators who
were burned in Vienna been blessed
with the same presence of mind, their
lives would probably have been spared.
It seems that while the population of
Reno was in the Grand Opera House,
listening to the strains which are conf
IDENTIFY believed by Alice Oates to be
sweet, an alarm was given. The pop
ulation of Reno turned pale, The dread
ed cry OF ''Fire!' smote upon the ear Of
Reno. Fair Women shuddered and grew
faint Some ''strong man. Immediately
gained the door-presumably to keep
the crowd from getting out, and to
preserve untarnished ttD Reno name for
GOODNESS. At this awful moment man
arose in the gallery. He is now Reno's
demigod, but at that time he was god.
He arose, we say. extended his hand,
and these memorable words fell from
his lips: ''Keep cool! The fire is in
Chinatown At these words all hearts
were gladdened, and grateful glances
from fair eyes shot softly toward him.
His name was Hagermann. When we
consider that there were fully one hum
dred and fifty people in the Reno Grand
Opera House; that it was, therefore,
jammed; that this immense crowd would
probably have required forty-fve to fifty
seconds in emerging; that the loss of life
would probably have been enormous
when we consider all these things, it is
not strange that the name of Hager-
mann has been emblazoned in letters of
gold upon Reno's scroll Of fame.-Argo-

Remarkable.

The late Rev. S. Hanson Cox, D. D.,
OF New York, had mind so well stored
that it was said of him, ..He needs but
to turn the spigot' at q moments no

formation on any subject will instantly
fow." DR.. Cuyler relates one remarka-
bic instance. He says:
Something very like a meteoric show
er it was when we were assembled in
the Academy of Music to receive the
astronomer, Prof. Mitchell, and listen
to him on behalf of projected obserya-
tory in Central Park. The house was
filled with the most brilliant, intelligent,
scientific and cultivated audience.
Word was brought that sudden illness
prevented the eloquent astronomer from
leaving his bed. The word was sent to
me by the professor, and in despair I
went to DR.. Cox, on the stage, told him
the distressing truth, and implored him
TO come to the rescue, or the occasion
would be lost.
The assembly joined in the request,
he complied, and when the applause, on
his rising, had subsidized, he said,
.sTo put me in the place Of such .
man as Prot. Mitchell is like putting :
rushight in the place of Ursa Major. .
And then he proceeded to deliver q

PATHS Pretty Rosebud Stocking.

One of those little episodes Of the
stage which sometimes occur even to
the most divine of actresses of canta-
trices happened yesterday at the St.
Charles theater to La Diva, as she was
thrilling out her pearl notes in III Bar
biere." Her short Spanish dress afford
ed scope for the display or q pair of
beautiful silk stockings deliberately en-
broidered with delicate rosebuds and
tender leaflets. She had toyed with the
notes of the middle register; playing
with them without seemingly any effort,
and had just hurled out flood of high
staccati, when slowly down slipped the
right stocking, rose-buds and all, until
it hung about her shapely instep limp
and subdued mass, displaying an ankle
of alabaster whiteness, It did not take
long for Patti to appreciate what had
happened, and without the least exhibi-
ton of any knowledge on her part of
what had occurred, she quietly walked
to the side scenes, when presto! she re-
appeared, and the stocking was in place
again, and the rose-buds were once
more shining out.-Nes0 Orleans Times

A Wasted Opportunity.

A few weeks ago . young servant girl
in Salt Lake received an offer Of mar
riage from Mormon who already had
four wives. The offer was made through
. mutual friend, and the girl did not
even have an opportunity Of seeing her
future husband. Suffice to know that
he owned considerable property in Salt
Lake and was otherwise we'll fixed in
the world. She thought the matter over,
concluded to call it go, and sent word
that he might name the day. He did so,
and on a foggy Thursday morning he
came round to the house with two wives,
and announced that he was ready to
take his young bride away. The servant
girl was upstairs getting ready to be
married, and the lady of the house met
the polygamous party at the door. She
noticed, somewhat to her astonishment,
that the man was being led by his wives
for the very simple reason that he was
Us blind as q bat and also over sixty
years of age. Rushing to the stairs she
called up to the girl:

Hes sixty-five years old and as blind

Whats that?" inquired the girl, anx-
iously leaning over the banister. The
startling information was repeated.
''Tell him to clear out was the re-
spouse. The lady of the house commun-
icated the command to move on to the
old polyg and his wives, and the party
stole sorrowfully away.
The inexperienced girl thought she
had made lucky escape, but when
some married woman heard of it and
told her what a good thing she had
missed, she began to regret the hasty
decision, and now pines for the blind
man to return. There are hundreds of
women in Salt Lake who would give al
most anything for genuine blind hus-
band. The girl may never get another
such an offer in a lifetime. Lake

Dread of Potters Field,

An Eighth avenue undertaken sat in
his office yesterday, chatting cheerfully
with friend. In the twill ght the small
sparks of his cigar shone like dozen
glow worms in the glass fronts of as
many caskets which stood on end about
the walls of the warerooms. A boy in
brass buttons entered with q telegram,
on which the undertaken paid the char

desk, and said: by George'' Then
he called out: "Gus. getready horse
and wagon. Isn't it striking" he went
on, show these people dread going to
the Potter's Fie1d?''
"What people?''
''Why, everybody. Here's poor
woman who sent to us over a month
ago and asked if we'd take charge of
$50. for her: She was ill, and was sure
she might die any day, and she wanted
to know that her funeral expenses were
surely paid for. I took the money and
sent her our receipt. I hadn't heard
from her since, and had given her up.
And now here comes word she's dead"

Feeding Swine During Winter.


Swine should be fed oftener than twice
daily, and during the winter the first
feed should be given moderately early,
and the evening feed should be given
not at or 5 O'Clock, as is the custom
with many, but at about $50. Four
teen or fifteen hours between the even
ing and morning feeds are periods alto
gether too long for comfort and profit,
as the appetite is liable to become raven
Gus, the animal gorging itself unduly.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that
it is only required to rush the food into
the hogs stomach, regardless of quanti-
ty or intervals between. The stomach is
of quite moderate capacity, and when
crammed, the process of digestion goes
on like horse laboring at load he
cannot move, the work being done
tardily, and only partially completed.
In cases of incomplete digestion, 4 por-
ton of the food given is lost, passing off
through the bowels and going to the
manure pile. The art of feeding there
fore, does not merely consist in shovel
ing out corn, without Judgment or limit,
but in studying the natural capacity for
digestion, and feeding to this capacity;
or little inside of it, that all the food
given may be put in shape for assimila-

Photographic Life Histories.


The family bibles of past generations
served as registers Of family events.
Births, illnesses, marriages, and deaths
were chronicled on their fly-leaves, and
those ponderous books fulfilled an inn
portant function in this incidental way.
But they are, now becoming generally
replaced by more handy volumes, and
the family register is disappearing with
the old family bible. In the meantime
photography has been discovered, and
has sprung into universal use, and the
hereditary value of what are called life
histories is becoming continually more
appreciated. 1t seems, then, to be an
appropriate time to advocate the estab-
lishment Of new form of family regis
ter that shall contain all these notices
that were formerly entered in the family
bible, and much more besides namely,
series of Photographic studies of the
features from childhood upward, togeth-
er with facts that shall afford as COM
Plete q lfe-history as is consistent with
brevity. What is desired is something
OF this sort. In each substantial family
we should find thin quarto volume,
solidly bound, having leaves of stout pa
per, on which photographs may be
mounted. Each pair Of opposite pages
would be headed by the name of some
member of the family. A double row
OF photographs would run down the side
OF each page, each about half as large
again as postage stamp, the one con-
tanning a medallion of the full face, and
the other one of the profile. Opposite
to each of these the events of the cor
responding period would be chronicled.
Every opening of the book would con-
tain the photographs and events Of
about ten periods, five to each page, and
would include from ten to twenty wears
OF life-history.-Fra,ac Gallon IN Fort

He has been invited out several times,

noted for grotesqueries. For instance,
he has dined with Mrs. John Bigelow.
She is the estimable and ACCOMPLISHED
wife of an Ex-Minister to France; still
she is the oldest creature in all our cir
Gle of culture and wealth. She is ever
doing something queer. Itwas through
her that the German official guests re-
tired in anger from the recent ball to
the Yorktown visitors. She dresses
richly but outrageously. A dress Of
blue, with an overdress of green, is q
mild form of her eccentricity of colors.
If fashion orders fullness of drapery
behind, she is pretty sure to disobey the
order by putting the fullness in front.
She never wears corsets; she is in all
things original and independent; she
was sure to be the one conspicuous lead
