Avn Improved Flro Escane.

A portable fire escape, constructed
with three systems of lazy tongs con-
nected together and arranged to be
elevated and lowered by q screw
mounted in the platform of a truck,
has: been patented by MIR. Louis P.
Sanity, of Clements, Kan. The plat
form on which the tongs are mounted
has screws at its corners, whereby tho
escape may be held upright or tipped
against the walls of building. The
tongs are united by series Of trian-
giles, set of lazy tongs being arranged
at each corner of the triangle, each set
bracing the others. A screw for ele-
waiting the system is mounted in the
center of the platform, triangular
plato being attached at its corners to
tho lowermost set of lazy tongs, and
having at its center an internally
screw threaded boss ia which the screw
works, being operated by beveled gears
and crank shafts extending to the
ends of the truck. By turning the
cranks tho three sets of lazy tongs will
DO rapidly elevated and by reversing
the motion as rapidly lowered. At
the top of the lazy tongs is platform
or cage on which persons may step
from tho window of building, and
be lowered to tho ground by turning
the cranks, or they may descend by q
rope ladder suspended from an aper-
ture in the center of tho cage.-Scien-
tific American.

A Waistc0at with q History.

Baron Minaldi, the tonsorial hosp6-
dar of the Astor house, created some
thing of sensation by appearing at
his place of business the other day
decked out in camel's hair waistcoat
OF startling and unique pattern. This
garment was sent to Baron Minaldi
from Sicily somo fifteen years ago. It
was worn by one of his ancestors, the
fourth Baron Giuseppe Minaldi, of
Palermo, and was constructed more
than eighty years ago. The fabric
came originally from Kashgar, in
Central Asia, and it is in as good state
today as it was the day it was stitched
together by bronzed tailor under the
shadow of Mount Etna. At his family
dinner, over which Baron NJ presided
in the evening, the waistcoat was
braced with one pound of chicken
fricasseed, two pounds of turkey and
roast pig and three pounds of maca-
roni. Not a button gave way. They
could sew in Sicily in the early part Of
this century.-New York World.

Visiting Card Etiquette.

Tho question of the propriety of
turning down the corners of visiting
cards is debated now and then; and
most persons, whatever they think of
the custom, at least regard the trick
as comparatively recent one. In q
book of etiquette published in this
country about half century ago the
author remarks:
Ladies' have fashion of pinching
down one corner Of card to denote
that the visit is to only one of two
parties in house, and two corners, or
one side of the card, when the visit is
to both; but this is q transient mode
and of dubious respectability."
The significance of turning the cor
ners is different today, except that tho
end is doubled to denote that q call is
for all the members of family; but
who had supposed the custom to be
"of dubious respectability9"-Boston
Courier,

Teaching Children.

1t is far better to teach your chill
dren all they can easily learn at home,
until they arc 6 or 2 years of age
then send them to school-unless the
mother has plenty of time and is COM
petent to continue their education. It
is simply cruel to keep young children
confined so closely in the school room,
sitting upon hard benches, when they
ought to be exercising in the open air
and gaining strength and muscle. I
have known children treated in the
former manner to overtake and 20
ahead of those who had been kept in
school from early childhood. Then it
is a mothers precious privilege to keep
her children with her as long as she
can.-Mrs. B. in New York Mail and
Express.

Woman's Dress.

Women have happily been preserved
by their tailors rather than by their
own good sense from the offenses
against tasto which disfigure the mod
ern costume of men. 1t is hardly pos
sible to imagine anything better in the
way of dress than the toilets which
have been created by the first Paris
houses for the adornment of women
during the last ten or fifteen years.
These costumes can be produced in
portraiture without alteration, and are
as picturesque Oh canvas us the soul
of any artist can desire. They are, it
is true, chiefly combinations of tho
costumes of the Fronde, of the Direc-
toire, and of other epochs, but they
arc thoroughly artistic combinations.
Dress is, in its essence, an artificial
thing. Nature has nothing to do with
dress; and the blanket Of the savage
squaw is every whit as artificial as the
court kain of the European duchess.
When the human form is covered in
any way, art, more or less elegant, more
or less clumsy, must be called in to
cover it.-Ouida in Chicago Tribune.

In the days before tho invention of
friction matches the difficulty Of pro-
curing fire was SO great that all pains
were taken to prevent the fire on the
hearth from going out. All winter
long it was kept by covering the coal
and brands with ashes at night This
was one of the domestic cares of our
forefathcrs, and Homer alludes to the
practice as common in his day, 5000
years ago.
But fire could not be kept with COM
fort in the summer, and there would
be times in the winter when the hearth
would become cold. Then some Goals
must be brought from a neighbor's, or
a new Gre must be kindIed in the
house.
This latter process was usually ac-
complished by means of flint and steel.
Most readers have no doubt seen q
spark of fire struck out from a horses
shoe hitting stone in the road, or
from the shoes of a sleigh runner
grinding over rocks.
To obtain fire by this method piece
of steel, such as file or rasp, was
struck with flint, or bit of white
quartz from granite ledge. and the
spark was caught in tinder-charred
cotton rags. The old flint lock mus
ket, with few grains of powder and
some tinder in the pan, was looked
upon by our grandmothers as do
mestic utensil. Sometimes, on clear
day, a burning glass-a lens for col
lecting at one point the rays of the
sun-was used.
The method of producing fire by
rubbing together two dry sticks is
known to most boys, but it Has not
been often adopted by civilized people.
II belongs to the ruder conditions of
life.
In Thibst Capt. William Gill found
practiced moro scientific method
than any Of these. The natives strike
q light by compressed air. The ap-
paratus used consists of q wooden
cylinder, two and half inches long
by three-quarters of an inch diameter.
This is closed at one end, the base be-
ing about the size of quill pen; an
air tight piston fits into this with q
large, flat knob at the top. The other
end of the piston is slightly followed
out and very small piece of tinder is
placed in the cup thus formed.
To use this the cylinder is held in
one hand, the piston inserted and
pushed about half way down. A very
sharp blow is then given with the palm
of the hand on the top of the knob.
The hand must at the same time close
on the knob and instantly withdraw
the piston, when the tinder will be
found alight. It requires skill to use
the apparatus as we'll as science to in
vent it.-Youth's Companion.

A Hospitai Busis BY verdi.

The Gazzetta Musicale Of Milan gave
an interesting account of the hospital
at Villanova, entirely built and sup
ported by Verdi, the composer. VII
lanova is situated about twenty miles
from Piacenza and in close vicinity to
the Villa di SAINT Agata, the country
seat which Verdi has made his home
and where he lives in the manner of O
farmer, abandoning all music from bis
thought, and without so much as
piano in his house. The now hosp
tai, an unpretcntious but large build
ing, lies In commanding situation
overlooking tho Po and with distant
view OF the Apennines. There are two
wings-one for women, the other for
men, and a separate ward is set aside for
contagious cases there is also hydro
pathic ablishment, and most clabor-
ate arrangements have been made for
the disinfection of linen and other
sanitary purposes. An efficient staff
of nurses and attendants is also pro-
vided, and Signora Verdi has made the
housekeeping department her special
care. The large sums required have
been contributed by Verdi, who has
also deposited sufficient funds for the
maintenance of the hospital. Tho
munificence of the great composer is
only equaled by his modesty. The
opening ceremony, which took place
on tho 9th inst, was of the simplest
kind, only Verdi and his family, the
physician, and the Sindaco of Villa
nova being present No speechifying
was allowed, Verdi remarking that
the only Inauguration necessary was
the admission of tho sick and ailing,
twelve Of whom were received then
and there. The Sindaco proposed that
the new building should be called
Verdi hospital, but to this also the
donor objected, and the name Hospital
Of Villanova was finally adopted.

To Use tho Rheea Plant.

A Belfast machinist has discovered
a process by which the fibers of the
plant rheea can be readily Separated
from their woody and gummy cover
ing, thus producing fiber at low
price which will admit of being used
for the manufacture of rope, cordage
and woven goods. Rheea is plant
grown very widely in southern and
eastern Asia, and one capable of cult
walton in the temperate parts of Eu-
rope and America. 1t is the strongest
vegetable fiber that has yet been dis
covered, and is, besides, the smoothest
and most lustrous. Com

A Story of Senator Blackburn.

Senator Blackburn is not only pep
perry in speech, but is also at times ex-
ceedingly grandiloquent, though he
is not now so much given to this fail
ing as he was in the days of his youth,
as the following story shows:
One day, when he was only Capt
Blackburn, he was engaged in arguing
case in Lexington, and his speech
was SO full of highfalutin' that it rather
bored his legal opponent, who sought
relief from it by going out on the
green surrounding the court house.
AS he stepped from the door an old
hemp raiser who had followed him
out said:
"Cap'n Blackburn is making great
speech"
ooh, yes" sneered the bored attor-
ney. sCapt. Blackburn always makes
a great speech. If you or 1 had occa-
sion to announce that two and two
made four WEI be just fools enough
to blurt it out. Not so, Capt. Black
burn. He would say: IF by that par
ticular arithmetical rule known as adj
dition we desired to arrive at the sum
of two integers added to two inte-
gers we should find-and I assert this
boldly and, sir, without the fear of
successful contradiction-we, I repeat,
would find by that particular rule of
arithmetic properly applied-and, sir,
hold myself perfectly responsible for
tho assertion l am about to make
that the sum of the two given integers
added to the other two integers would
be four. '"-New York Sun.

Telephone yyhisperiprs.

The following is said to be O simple
method by which telephoning can be
carried on in a whisper: Take sheet
of thick MANILA brown paper, fold and
paste it into the form of O cone or
funnel, some fifteen inches m length,
the small end being just the size to fit
into the transmitter orifice, without
coming in contact with the diaphragm,
and the large end being about six
inches in diameter. With this mes
sages can be sent in whisper.
