How an Army was routed.

1t was way back in the ffties when "Alad-
din" was having a run at the old Bowery
theatre that John Williams, now the property
man at the Academy of Music, then boy,
conceived the idea of having some sport with
the supers who composed the army of the
Chinese emperor. Suspended over the center
of the stage in those days was property
elephant, stuffed with straw and sawdust,
and which, from long dIsuse, had become
almost pulp from dry rot. When the army
of supers were being Unanswered on the stage
Williams slipped aloft and cut the ropes
Down came the elephant and, bursting into
thousand fragments, completely enveloped
the army in a cloud OF dust and straw The
supers We're put to fight and the action of
the play suspended for the moment. Search
was made for the culprit but when found he
pretended sleep and so stoutly denied his
guilt as to carry conviction of his innocence.
1t was not until some months later the truth
was known.-New York World.

THE HloHLANpERs AT ALMA.
Sir Colin Campbell's Appeal to National
Pride-Thriliing story.


Onr fine brigade of guards was severely
cut up when the Highlanders drew near, and
then, as Kinglalxe tells us, a man in one of
the regiments reforming ON the slope, cried,
in the deep and honest bitterness Of his heart:
"Let the Scotsmen go on they'll do the
worRln and with his three killed battalions,
Sir Colin, whose horse was shot under him,
advanced to meet twelve of the enemy
snow, men," said he, you are going into
action, and remember this, that whoever is
wounded, don't care what his rank is, must
lie where be falls. No soldier must carry Off
wounded men. If any man does such a
thing his name shall be stuck up in his parish
kirk. Be steady-keep silence-fire lowl
Now, men, the army is watching us! Make
me proud Of my Highland brigadeln
So beautifully does the author of ''Eothenn
IAN eye witness of this part of the battle
describe their movements, that we cannot
resist quoting him again. "The ground they
had to ascend was "A good deal more steep and
broken than the slope close beneath the re-
doubt. In the land where those Scots are
bred there are shadows of sailing clouds
skinming up the mountain side, and their
paths are rugged and steep; yet their course
is smooth, easy and swift Smoothly easily
and swiftly the Black Watch seemed to glide
up the hill. A few instants before and their
J tartans ranged dark in the valley; now their
plumes were on the crest.n Another line
came on in echelon, and another still-the
Cameron and the Sutherland Highlanders.
And now, to the eyes Of the superstitious
Russians, the strange uniforms of those bare
| kneed troops seemed novel and even terrible;
their white, waving .spoTrans were taken for
the heads of low horses, and they cried to
each other that the angel of light had de-
! parted and that the demon of death had
/ come.
A close and deadly fire was now poured in
to these gray blocks, as Russell calls the
Russian squares. No particular sound fol-
lowed save the yells of the wounded, while
the Highladders least about" to reload; but
after their next volley a strange, rafting
noise was heard, as the bullets fell like rain
among their tin canteens and kettles which
the enemy carried outside their lznapsacks,
for they were all right about face now. A
/ wall of despair hoated over these gray coated
masses of AIuscoyite infantry as they broke
and fed, throwing away muskets, knapsacks
and everything that might cucumber their
flight; and now for the first time rose the
Highland cheer.-Cassells "British Battles

Fire Escape for school buildings.

A novel system of fire escape for school
buildings has been suggested by Capt Rea-
gan, assistant chief of the Boston fire depart
ment, which upon its face looks as if it might
prove of considerable practical value His
idea is to utilize the large yard area to be
found about nearly every school house in
Boston and erect an ornamental iron tower a
short distance from the building
This tower would contain a broad iron
staircase leading from the top to the ground.
From each floor of the school house a COW
cred bridge would lead into the tower, and
the door leading from the school room to the
bridge would be kept unlocked during school
hours The rooms on each floor would con-
meet with each other, and in case of fire the
scholars could have unobstructed access to
the bridge. BY such an arrangement, when
ever a fire broke out there would always be
an egress open, and even if matters became
serious, the iron tower and bridges would
remaiR unframed. The plan appears to be
perfectly feasible, and the expense would, it
is said, not be much more than what is laid
out on the present fire escapes. And we
should think the same plan might be adopted
for factories and other buildings where num-
bers of persons are employed on the different
Ahoors Of the building. Fire and Water.

The Evolution of a Hat.

A Park place dealer in head coverings
displays in his window 1.-THE evolution of
a hat" 1t is a unique exhibition. First
there is a grave and sleepy white rabbit
in cage. Next to his apartment, as q
reminder of his possible fate, is a mass of
rabbit fur from the bodies of some of his
departed fellows. Exhibit in the collec-
ion is long, conical affair about the color
of hornets nest, and scarcely as SYM
metrical in form. 1t is labeled: 'Form-
ing the fur into shape" The fourth stage
in tho evolution is illustrated by an ex-
hibit entitled, shrinking the body"
The large gray cone has been contracted
to half its size, but looks as ungainly and
as little like a hat as ever. Exhibit 3,
however, looks very like hat. The gray
mass has been dyed black and stiffened,
and but for its frayed edges it would
make very decent headgear. The sixth
sample shows the finished hat, as hand
some a derby as ever graced Uranium.
Its edges are bound, it's interior uphol-
stored with white silk, and is such per-
feet hat as would make the sleepy rabbit,
marked Exhibit /, almost willing to die
to produce such triumph of art.--New

warming Young RattlesnaIzes.

They showed me two things among many
down at the Joliet prison the other day that
linger with me like dash of bitter in the
old ladys cup of sweetened tea One was
baby with face like young tough and an
inherited disposition like that the wolf cub
draws from its dam, which they were caring
for and rocking in a clean and pretty cradle,
while its depraved convict mother served
out her term for a revolving crime. ques-
ton the policy of warming and succoring
young rattlesnakes, but | go further back
and question the law that allows criminals to
propagate their species. If it is against
humanitarian usage to give such babes to the
heather huntsmen for crocodile bait, then,
for mercy's sake, get back Of the humanita-
rian view of the NATTER and make it against
the law for criminals to raise children.
1t seems an impractical thing to do, but is
it any more so than half the things accom-
plished in the march and progress of reform?
/ don't pretend to say how it can be done,
but | know that if a lot of flesh devouring
wolves were loose on your prairies there
would be a a way found soon enough to cut
off the increase. A colony where the off
spring of bad men men and evil women could
be taken at birth and reared in habits of vir-
tue and industry at public expense, would
strike more telling blow for the abatement
of evil in the world than any mission work
or prison reform. A glance about us at the

of the two cracks in the long beat from

MONDAY, July 20.

Every steamer, as well as
sailing vessel, brings us some
thing useful and often orna-
mental; things which you are
| perhaps, in daily need of. An
agate potato fryer is one OF
them. They save trouble pre-
vent dyspepsia, and give you
potatoes that are palatable and
free from grease. They are SO
superior to the old style uten-
sill that you will not be without
one once you have tried it.
You know what it is to have
a miserable light dangling I'M
der your brake, don't you!
| Well, we offer you a lantern
that does not need another one
to show where the light is. We
refer to the "Dietz Carriage
Lamps" A perfect miniature
head light that throws the light
twenty feet ahead of the horse.
We've sold a lot of them, and
people tell US that they are the
best they have ever tried,
Nickel or Japan as you prefer.
The price is the same. So is
the light.
How do you do about ice
water; make it in a pitcher or
use a cooler? We like a
cooler, (if you don't use a fill
ter), because it saves trouble,
and the water is iced at all
times. The ice lasts longer,
you know, if kept from the air.
This last lot of Coolers re-
ceived includes some in imita-
} ton hard woods, shaped like a
small key. Others are the
regular shape, and a decided
ornament to any room. They're
all good III quality and will
last a life time.
We have another novelty
this week,-came just in the
nick of time too. It's a little
pocketable dark lantern, in
nickel throws a good light,
and is as pretty as it is useful
for what it is intended. The
t mysterious individual WHO
! prowls around at night in his
; bare feet makes it necessary
for one to look about the house
/ before retiring. Dirty foot
! prints are not desirable any
/ where, and this lantern is lust
t the thing to enable one to see
. in the dark corners without
e being seen. Policemen in
