One Merit of Epidemics.

4 well-known practitioner of medi- cine is quoted by the New York Sun as saying: Probably you have mo- ticed the tendency of epidemic diseases to run themselves out even in districts where no precautionary measures are taken. It has been shown in the his tory of every great plague-the black death,' cholera and the rest, and now it is illustrated in the grip. We have the grip with us again. as you know, and there have been few fatal cases of it; but it is nothing to what it was in its first and second seasons Then, you remember. there were instances where 1t was fatal within twenty-four hours, and it's effects were more severe and more lasting than they have been since. This is regular grip weather, yet the grip is slowly dying out. Dis eases die as well as the people who have them"

BRITISH FIRE LADDIES.
The Appliances They Have and the Cause
 of Fires.


 In 1891 the population of the city of Liverpool was 517, O51 and covered $500 acres. Its buildings are all of stone and brick Five steam fire engines were in use and eight hand engines, and there were 25G men on the regular force. Five hundred and seventy-eight fires occurred in 1890, 28 of them from lighted candles, ST from lights thrown down, 22 from children playing with matches. 90 from smoking tobacco, 23 from children playing with fire and 30 from sparks from fire. Bremen in Liverpool have the title of constable" and have certain police authority.
 The great city of London had, ac- cording to the Chicago Herald, within its corporate limits in 1891 4.231 ,431 per sons, and about 2,GC0,00O in territory immediately contiguous; 557, ,134 is given as the number of brick and stone buildings in 1891, and the city has no wooden bu ildirgs. The number of fire alarms g1ven in 1891 was 4,164, of which 1929 were false alarms, 243 ch imney alarms and 2,S92 actual fires; 2,00O of these fires were confined to the floors where they originated, and 184 extended beyond such floors; only fires extended to ad- joining property, and only 3 extended beyond adjoining property. The Lon don fire department consists of 47 land steam fire engines, @ land manual fire engines, 9 steam fire engines on barges, s steam tugs, 105 hose carts, 36 miles of hose, with ladders, trucks, fire escapes and an abundance of alarms, tele- graphs, telephones. etc., to render the service of it's roc fremen very efficient. Nineteen million gallons of water were used during the year at fires, one-third of which was taken from the river, canals and docks. The causes of the fires are curious: Fifty-nine came from airing linen, 150 from candles, g from children playing with fire and G2 from their playing with matches; G1 were caused by swinging gas brackets, 60 from escaping gas, 37 from curtains or blinds coming in contact with lights; 104 originated from hot ashes, 2O0 from spirit lamps (206 of them being from upsetting such lamps); 100 came from sparks of fire and 38 from improperly set stoves

A WESTERN WAITRESS.
She Rides Her BrOnchU and Appears Like
 a Society Belle.

She tl10cS Her brOncnU ana appears LLhe
 Society Belle.
 'aThe contrasts between western and eastern life are growing less marked as civilization pushes its way into the region once known as the frontier, $ said well-known explorer of our own country to reporter of the Washing ton News.
 ''While was riding through a mining district in southern Colorado last sum- mer, however, saw an example of pure feminine democracy that reminded me of the days that we read about in fc- tion dealing with American life fifteen years ago.
 ''It was at log cabin hotel. I was watching some cow punchers and pros pectors who were swapping lies when my attention was attracted by young girl mounted on broncho, who rode up to the door, sprang lightly to the ground and vanished in the cabin.
 ''She was neatly and tastefully dressed. Her riding habit must have been cut in London or New York. There was an air about her that was altogether foreign to the surroundings. wondered who she could be. One of the COW punchers led her pony to the corral and my thoughts took another turn.
 Supper was announced a couple of hours later. I accompanied the clean but curiously dressed westerners into the rudely furnished apartments, where a bountiful and really well cooked meal was served. There was but one waitress, a good looking girl, with figure well qualified to compete with model Venus.
 ''She wore spotless white apron over close-ftting cloth dress. She reminded me of some society girl play ing maid at a charity affair. glanced at her face and was somewhat sur prised, used as am to the unusual in the west, to recognize the young lady as the same who had returned from pleasant ride in the afternoon.
 ''I afterward inquired about her and learned that she was the regular hired girl or waitress. She did her work thoroughly, and when she was through with it she took advantage of the pos abilities that the surroundings offered and enjoyed herself thoroughly.
 ''The pony was her own-nothing strange in that-you can get pony for thirty-fve dollars in Colorado.
 ''But it does seem little queer to eastern notions to be waited upon by swell equestrienne, does it not?"

TRANsFUsiON OF BLOOD.
It Was Known to the Ancient Egyptians,
 Syrians and Persians.

It Was Known to the Ancient Egyptians,
 Syrians and Persians.
 Transmission of blood as practiced in surgery is by no means 8 recent devel- opment in science. Medical records show it to have been known to the Egyptians, Syrians and Persians. The Pittsburgh Dispatch regards it as even possible that the ancients were more successful than the physicians of re- cent periods. In the seventeenth cen- !, tury so many attempts were made in France, accompanied by so many fail ures and fatalities, that the parliament of Paris declared against it's legality. The experiments continued, however, calf's blood being substituted for the human. The results were not encour- aging, the physicians not being aware that the blood of animals injected into the veins of another belonging to different species acted as a poison. For two hundred years the ex- periments were discontinued, and then one day, some years ago; the story of the death of a young medical student named Romain Le Golf, while trying to save the life of friend with his own blood, created a great sensation. A street in Paris, named after Le Golf, commemorates his brave act. By this time the medi- cal men had learned that to be success full the blood must neither be allowed to coagulate, nor air suffered to enter the veins with it. Dr. ROussel, of Gen eva, invented an apparatus which over. came both the above difficulties. Since that time the experiments have beeL continued with remarkable success. Many lives have been undoubtedly saved by it. An old employe of the Theater Francais in Paris, named Dup- hitch, has given up his blood several times to those in need of it, for which he has been awarded a magnificent gold medal by the French government.

PETRIFIED SNAKES.
Wonderful Discovery in a Mining Camp
 Near Rockvale, Col.


 One of the most startling finds ever made in this section was unearthed the other day at Rockvale, small mining camp nine miles northeast of here.
 The Santa Fe Coal company, which has large mining interests at that point, was excavating in the bottom of a gulch for the purpose of putting in a new track when a peculiar formation was run into. The workmen stopped to examine, and on digging around the spot the strange thing was found to be a perfectly formed snake twelve feet in length, says the Denver News. ,
 This find caused so much excitement that the excavation was continued, and at a little distance another reptile was uncovered, and on being dug out was found to be twenty-four feet in length and as thick through as mans body and perfectly retrified.
 This find caused still greater excite ment, and all work was stopped to dig for snakes. Another was soon struck and is not yet uncovered. The reptiles were found at depth of three feet. Details are but meager so far, but a large number of persons have visited the find and say facts as stated are true. No one can tell how many of the petrifed monsters will be found, but no doubt there is nest of them.

RELIGIOUS DANCING.
As the Earliest Form of Art It Is Entitled
 to Respect.

As the Earliest Form of Art. It Is Entitled
 to Respect.
 ''It may create some surprise that we regard the dance as the earliest form of art, or even that we allow it any place among the fine arts," writes President David J. Hill in Popular Science Monthly.
 O''To many it will seem a kind of sac rilege to combine in the same category, however broad, such extremes as a dancing savage and painting of the last judgment; and, if the connection must be made, some would choose to make it along other lines than those of art. But, in truth, the dance supplies us with the key, so to speak, of the de- velopment of the fine arts. For light upon the problems of human culture we naturally appeal to the anthropol- ogist
 Dancing says Tylor, may seem to us moderns a frivolous amusement; but in the infancy of civilization it was full of passionate and solemn mean ing. Savages and b2rbarians dance their joy and sorrow, their love and rage, even their magic and religion The forest Indians of Brazil, whose sluggish temper few other settlements can stir, rouse themselves at their moonlight gatherings, when, rattle in hand, they stamp in one-two-three time round the great earthern pot of intoxi- eating kawi liquor; or men and women dance rude courting dance, advanc- ing in lines with kind of primitive polka step; or the ferocious war dance is performed by armed warriors in paint, marching in ranks hither and thither with growing chant terrific to hear
 ''Tylor proceeds to describe the dance of the Australians and the buff falo dance of the Mandan Indians, who, wearing masks to mark their i'm presentations, with rude songs and pantomimic gestures act out the incl dents of an imaginary hunt. And then he adds: All this explains how, in an- cient religion, dancing came to be one of the chief acts of worship Reli- gious processions went with song and dance to the Egyptian temples, and Plato said that all dancing ought to be thus an act of religion'"

 ry Was Falling.

The Barometer Was Rising But the Sher-
 ry Was Falling.
 On board of a man-of-war bound home from China was a young mid- shipsman named Jones, says the De- troit Free Press. He was a favorite with the officers and had in him the talent for the making of fine officer
 The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, and every hour it was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ships log, showing the readings of the barometer, thermometer, and to heave the chip log for her speed.
 The captain, in company with the off, ficer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the poop deck convers- ing when Midshipsman ones came aft to write up the log.
 The barometer, a mercurial one. was hung in the captains cabin, and Jones, after having read it, helped himself liberally to the captains sherry on the cabin sideboard. In walking the poop the captain happened to glance down the cabin slylight and saw the midshipman's proceedings.
 When Jones came on the poop to heave the log the captain addressed him as follows:
 "How is the barometer, sir?'' Jones saluted and said: Steadily rising, sir; steadily rising"
 The captain then asked: "And how is the decanter, sir?"
 Jones was taken aback, but with a steady voice replied: Steadily fall ing sir; steadily falling"
 This reply was too much for the cap- tain, and. bursting out laughing, he said:
 "Young man, your reply has saved you from punishment; but it is a long way to Frisco; so hereafter I beg of you not to consult the decanter as often as you do the barometer"

POUNDED BY A MACCARTHY.

Blarney Castle and the Famous Stone
 Which Inparts Persuasive Powers.
 Blarney castle was founded about 1450 A. D. by Cormack MacCarthy, sur named ''the Strong" the lord of Mus kerry and chief of younger branch of that great MacCarthy family who once ruled all Cork and for many years waged fierce but, according to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, not always sue cessful contest for it's possession with the Saxon invader. In the struggle the lords of Musl1erry took an active part and shared both the triunphs and defeats of their illustrious kindred, their stronghold of Blarney being sev- eral times lost and regained by them. It was captured in 1902 by Queen Eliza beth's troops, but was restored to it's owner, MacCarthy, who was created Viscount Muskerry. In 1642 the earl of Orrery captured and retained it un- il 1858, when the then Lord Muslzerry, who had been made earl of Clancarty, received it back. The last earl of Clancarty espoused the cause of the Stuarts, took up arms in behalf of James II. and followed that unhappy prince into exile, after his defeat. The possessions being forfeited, William Of Orange granted the estate of Blarney to Sir George Jeffereyes, in whose family it still remains. As stated pre- viously, the castle was erected in 1850, the date being inscribed upon stone in the wall of the tower near it's sum- init. The stone also bears the name of Cormack MacCarthy, the founder of the fortress. This is the stone known to fame as the ''Blarney stone." Its supposed power of inparting the gift of persuasion and facility of language to any person who shall kiss it has been often described and cxtOlled in prose and poetry, but its origin is not known to a certainty.

BIG RISK FOR LITTLE PAY.

Men Who Parade in Cages with Wild Ami
 mais Get Thirty Dollars Month.
 ''I never go into a cage of wild beasts unless it is absolutely neces- sary," said veteran animal trainer to the Cincinnati Times-Star. ''In the first place it is dangerous, and then there is nothing to be gained by it. What is the use of riSlling One's life for nothing? I used to do it when I was younger, but I don't want to do it any more. Showmen once thought it was an attraction, but the people don't ap- preciate the danger of the perform ance, so that is seldom done any more. John Robinson will not allow anyone to go on parade in a cage of beasts, and he is right. Do you know that during the season am continually an noyed by men who want to go into the cages? 4 good trainer will not risk his life so foolishly, and it is only novices who take the fearful risk. Some people think there is Q lot of money in it, but LlZnow thatmos of the men Eow paradirg in cages arc work ing for no more than thirty dollars a month. Showmen offer TO induce ment but often they will permit man to go on parade with den of lions if he insists on it and agrees be- fore witnesses to take all the risk up on his own shoulders. They do it for glory, but don't see where the glory comes in. 1 used to have cage of leopards that 1 raised from kittens. went in with them for a few years, but when they got full grown I quit it. A fresh young man who was pining for glory insisted upon taking the place I refused to fill longer. He got the job and one day the leopards tore him to pieces before a large crowd to the music of the calliope. They got him out just in time to let him die in the open air. Yes, it is very thrilling and likewise very glorious. But l don't banker for glory"

ABSORPTION AND REFLECTION.
No Matter What Color the Water the
 Foam Wifi Be White.

No Matter What Color the Water the
 Foam will Be White.
 No one can have failed to notice that the foam along the shore of the sea or lake is white No matter how deep the blue of the water may be there is the same whiteness of the froth at it's edge. For that matter all foam is white, says the Churchman. If the blaclzest ink in the world is beaten into foam the foam will be as white as the froth of milk The reason for this is that we see all objects by reflected light. If they reflect all the rays they appear white; if they absorb all the rays they seem to be black. The ink absorbs all the light and is black. When it is beaten into froth the little bubbles reflect all the light from their surfaces-for their extreme thinness makes them nothing but surface-and thus they are white. For the same reason any colored stone shows white when it has been ground to powder. Take the blaclest marble and reduce it to small grains, and these will ap- pear white, beca SC their surfaces now reflect all the light. If the polished surface of the same marble be only a . little scratched, as with a na il or drill point, the effect will be light-colored streak
 One of the ways of testing stones and minerals is to observe the color of the streak as compared with the natural surface. If one watches the water falling over the rock at Niagara he may see it of an emerald green near the upper part of the fall. Much the same effect is produced when pillows are just curving into breakers on the beach directly in front of us. A similar tint is seen in blocks of thick ice. The absorption and reflection of light are the same under all these con- ditions. Again, the froth at the foot of the fall and that at the edge of the sea is all of it equally white. So, too, if we pound the ice into small parti- cles, they will be as white as the foam. The same point is illustrated in the appearance of the tiny particles of dew on the spiders web as com pared with the larger drops suspended from the tips of blades of grass. All the more strilingly is the difference seen if the cold has converted dew and water into frost and ice. The frost sparkles from the innumerable faces of it's crystals, while the ice shows a uni formly shining surface. Frost and snow are white because of the small ness of their particles and the great number of their re1ecting surfaces. All the light being reflected, they can be only of this color.
