The Terrors Of an Epidemic.

From the London Spectator.
Nothing is more curious than the fact
that dying as one of a crowd seems to be
more terrible to a man than simply dy-
ing his own individual death. Unques-
tionably there seems to be no kind of
death more dreaded by men than death
either from sudden catastrophes-like
that of the Ring theater at Vienna and
on the Clyde, for instance-or from pes
thence. No doubt, it is perfectly true
that death cannot be shared in the same
sense in which a peril or a pleasure can
be shared; YOU cannot, in all probable
ity, b. conscious of the strength of COM
panionship after life begins to flicker low,
nor ~ there above n or two people
in the world with whom most men would
covet the sense of compromising in
it is somewhat curious that death on a
grand scale always seems to be more ter
rlble, even to the separate individuals,
than the ordinary death b units. OF
course, terror is very catching, and there
fore, the terror of a crowd always en-
hances the terror of the individual.
But though that explains the supreme
agony of a sinking ship or a burning
theater, it does not in the least explain
the additional dread of death which
plague seems to inspire in individuals,
for between the inhabitants of plague.
stricken city there is ALWAYS very much
less active sympathy than there was be-
fore the pestilence appeared, and it is
rather through the growth of mutual re-.
pulsion than through the heighteninp of
acommon sympathy that the influence
of pestilence iss chiefly felt. As a fact,
very few patients stricken with ordinary
disease who are told that death is iney-
liable show any panic at all, while the
perfectly healthy man, surrounded by
pe%stilence, is too often consumed with a
terror which renders him absolutely un,
ut for the discharge of his duties.

Cheap Water Filter.

Very many families desire some mex
pensive device for flterino Ia and
other waters to be used for cooking and
table use. A cheap and very efficient
filter may be made by using a spirit or
wine cask, placing it on end, with the
head removed, and having a faucet at
the bottom to draw off the clear water.
To fit it for a filter, take the removed
top head of the cask, and with a small
bit bore holes all over it, then place
four clean bricks or blocks Of wood on
the bottom, and on these rest the per-
forated top. Now ill upon it about four
inches of charcoal chopped into small

ERhAANY

BERLIN, April AT this hour g p. m. }
tho National theater is on fire, and the
flames rapidly spreading. 1t is feared the
structure itself will be completely de-
stroyed, and other buildings go with it.
The fire department seems wholly unable
to cope with the flames.
When the engines arrived the flames had
spread TO the auditorium. The iron cur
tain separating the stage from the audito-
rum was not proof against the heat, and
the proscenium boxes were quickly ignited.
The royal box was the first to catch fire.
The report of the fire was promptly sent
to the palace, and the emperor dispatched
an aide-de-camp to ascertain the particu-
lars.
At four this afternoon the theatre
was completely destroyed with contents,
including wardrobes and theater proper
ties. The scenery was also burned. Moth
ing was saved. There was no loss of life
and no injury, as no entertainment was
being given in the theater. The damage
to surrounding buildings was compare
lively small.
Investigation leads to the conclusion
that the fire originated under the stage.
The proprietors of the theater were mott
fed that the property was burning, and
only arrived when the structure was nearly
consumed.
