Cured at Novgorod Warsaw and Moscow.
The terror spread to ST. Petersburg, and
soon the capital was in an uproar. The
troops revolted and joined the mob. The
czar, who was at his country palace, was
notified and returned to the city. Dashing
among the excited multitude he cried out

tears and penitence his subjects returned
to their duties as citizens or soldiers.
Various mobs have been the result of the
introduction of cholera to the United
States. In 1882 Rhode Island established
an armed quarantine that caused much
trouble and some bloodshed, and the visi
tations of 1913 and 1854 were attended with
difficulties" and hardships. The present

How a Panic Was Ayerted.

During the performance of play in a
crowded theater at an Italian town re-
Gently one Of the players behind the scene
thought he saw tiny threads of smoke curl
ing up from the floor of the stage. He
called the stage managers attention to it,
who on investigation found that under the
stage the place was on fire. The manager
kept his self control and returned to the
stage, where one of the chief actors was
about to appear, The manager whispered
the situation to the actor and asked the
latter to feign sickness when he went out
to act his part and thus give an excuse for
stopping the performance. The actor did
as suggested. He went on the boards i'm
mediately and pretended to reel and then
fell.
The audience rose in sympathy, and the
stage manager rushing forward hurriedly
said that, owing to the serious illness of
the singer, the performance would have to
close for that night. The doors were
promptly thrown open and the audience
was hurried out. just as the last of the
audience was leaving the flames began to
burst through the stage, and looking back
the people saw the real cause of their dis
mlssal. The theater was DESTROYED, but
no lives were lost.

The long hairs on the side of cats face
are organs of touch. They are attached to
bed of fine glands under the skin, and
each of these long hairs is connected with
the nerves of the lip. The slightest con-
tact of these whiskers with any surround
ing object is thus felt most distinctly by
the animal, although the hairs themselves
are insensible. They stand out on each
side of the lion as well as on the common
cat From point to point they are equal to
the width of the animals body If we
imagine, therefore, n lion stealing through
covert of wood in an imperfect flight we
shall at once see the use of these long hairs
They indicate to him through the incest

self to the passage of his body; they pre-.

which would give warning to his prey if
he were to pass too close to bush, and

the claws never coming in contact with
