HOW TO INSULT AN ITALIAN.

Among the Italians splitting is a mark
OF supreme contempt. Historians claim
that ROmulus was not so much anUere,l
by the fact that Remus leaped over the
wall he had built around Rome, as he
was to see his younger brother expector-
ate upon the stones of that fragile
structure. The writer, a few years ago.
was present at the rehearsal of a speetac-
ular play, in Niblos Garden, where
two Italian ballet girls engaged in a
bitter quarrel over their respective
terPsichorean marits. Finally the
smaller and more irate of the two ladies'
spat ON the floor in front of her tall and
stately rival, and rubbed it Indignantly
into the boards with her tiny foot In
an instant the great beautys eyes liz
mp with murderous fury, and she had
drawn a dagger ON tho little woman.
when dozen spectators interfered and
probably prevented a tragedy. In
speaking of the matter afterward the
stage manager said -
"These Italian girls regard that as a
supreme insult. 1t signifies the hei0bt
OF contempt, and can only be washed
out in blood. 1t is a popularity of the
nation. II you want to test the matter

vender ON the corner, MUNICH one of

FIRE HISTORY OF THE BRIGADE.

OF the measures taken for the suppress
sion of that stupendous conhagration.
tn" great fire of London, the only
appllmce with which we are concerned
as ut all approaching modern gear was a
squirt of three feet long, capable of dis
charging half a gallon of water, an
instrument presumably of some service.
since 10y act of Parliament of 1868 one
was ordered to be kept in every ward.
and for the working of which the Alder
man OF that ward was made directly
responsible. If he did not set it in
action himself he was ut any rate bound
to see it done, as nowadays the Sheriff.
who has always been held responsible for
the execution of criminals, must either
himself discharge the last Office of the
law or provide an efficient substitute
This squirt was the first step towards
fire engines i'll England, though for
some few years they had been already
min Germany; for in 1857 Hautsch,
OF Nuremburg, invented a kind of
sledge water cistern, the pumps of
which were worked by 20 or 30 men. a
machine subsequently improved upon
by the brothers Yer Hevden. of
Amsterdam, when in 1872 they intro
duced the flexible hose, the whole the
prototype of the manual fire engine still
in use. OF these cumbrous German
arrangements the insurance companies
dating i'll this country from 1851, were
the first to avail themselves, beginning
with the Hand in Hand in 1899. and in
1920 including the Sun, the Union. the
Westminster, the London, and the
Royal Exchange, all of which bv that
time had men of their own, and engines
amounting altogether to 30 In the
meantime, by an act of 1907, each parish
was directed to keep fire engine, and
a system of fire rewards was created for
the first three to arrive on the spot-3Os.

the third, and sum not exceeding los.
for the first turncock. In 1774, bv the |
IA Geo III. C. IS, there were reouired
to be in every parish two engines one
large and one small, leathern pipe and
five ladders, the whole under the
of the beadle and charity
boys, of whom, when at work, George
Cruikshank has made a well-known
drawing. How far the act was enforced
there is nothing to show, for there is no
record of prosecution, indictment, or
penalties. The attendance of the
engines was not compulsory outside of
their own parish. and indeed the whole
appears to have been for many years
a dead letter, with the excep-
tion of Hackney, where brigade was
maintained by half penny rate at
cost of $500 a year.
