The GuiIlotine Did Not work

Lord Southey once, in y fit OF disgust
with life, had = magnificent guillotine
erected in the drawing room OF his
house, in the Rue du Nuremberg, at
Paris.
The machine was q magnificent affair,
with ebony uprights inlaid with geld
and silver. The framework was carved
with great artistic skill, and the knife,
OF immense weight, and falling at the
touch OF q spring. "a OF ornamented
steel, polished. and as sharp as q razor.
This spring which liberated the knife
was placed within easy reach Of any
n kneeling on She little scaffold; In
fact every detail was arranged with a
view to the convenience OF the would-be
suicide.
The day that the engine of death
was completely finished, Lord Southey
completed his testamentary disposi-
tions, shaved, had his hair cut and,
clothed in q robe OF white ELK, kneeled
upon the platform under the knife.
The guillOtins was placed before q
large mirror. wherein the person COM
hitting suicide could see his own image
until the last. Murmuring q short
prayer Lord Southey placed his hand
In the semi-circie and pressed the
spring.
The next morning he was found
calmly sleeping IN his bed. The spring
had failed TO work and after several
fruitless efforts Lord Southey had been
compelled to relinquish his attempt
upon his life.
Thoroughly cured Of his spleen, he
presented the gnillotine to the Glasgow
museum. where he made an annual
pilgrimage 70 see II until the end Of his

Tit for Tat.

Speaking of the financial string
ency," said a Wall street broker, 1--we
got q good one to tell you. The other
morning a tall, solemn-looking stranger
went into a bank, which might name,
only l promised l wouldn't, and ap-
proaching the window of the receiving
teller quietly remarked that he would
like to deposit 5000. The teller in
courteous tones inquired il he already
had an account at the bank. The
stranger said he hadn't. SO the teller
fastened outside, escorted him into the
presidents room, and introduced him
to the president. The president, on
learning his business, smiled kindly,
offered him a seat, aud remarked that
it was a fine day. Well, of course they
entered the new depositor's signature
in a big ledger, and one of the clerks
was directed to provide him with a
pass book. Then the receiving teller
took him back into the bank and pc
litely asked for his deposit. But the
stranger stroked his sandy goatee, and
explained that he had merely come in
to give the customary sixty days notice
and would be around with the money
on Oct. 4. He added that it looked
like rain. AID that a steady pour for
half q day would prove q great blessing
to the country. The teller reached for
his bronze paper-weight, but before he
could fire it the stranger had lit out"

Destruction Of the Farnham Street Thu
ter Building.

Destruction of the Farnham Street Thea
ter Building.
The Farnham Street Theater Build.
ing, the second-best opera-house in
Omaha, was totally destroyed the other
evening by fire, which broke out in the
rear OF the fifth floor a few minutes af-
ter 5 o'clock. Four persons are re-
ported to have been killed by falling
walls. The fire department responded
promptly, and q general alarm was
turned in, but the nre seemed to have
gained complete control. In q short
time the walls Of the theater building
began to totter and crumble, and bricks
We're flying in all directions. The roof
fell in while several firemen we're upon
the second floor, and they just succeed
ed in escaping by running down the
side stairway. J. NJ. Gaynor, athlete
and dancing master. was struck In the
back by falling bricks and badly hurt.
In the crowd many people were knocked
down and trampled on.
The building was erected in 1882 by
James +. Boyd. who has since been
Governor. 1t was then and afterward
knowd As Boyd's Opera House and was
one of the best auditoriums in th>
West. A few years ago it was sold to
the American Bank Building Com
pany, which IS owned by the .Ameri-
a Loan and Trust Company, and was
entirely refitted. 1t had cost origi-
nally $4,000 and is 10Y insured for
$4,000 in about twenty-five companies.
@The Waits Of New York" company
was playing in the theater and had just
concluded a rehearsal. The entire loss
on stock and building will exceed $780,
900. OF which perhaps Sl55,OO0 is se-
cured by insurance. The origin OF the
fire is a mystery. 1t is rumored that
it came from a cigarette left burning in
the sawdust.

1t is not SO many years since the equip
ment for the serving OF soda ~ drug

eral waters, while in the large estab-
lishnents are to be see fountains ana
their accessories that range In o $
from 81, 900 TO $4,000.
In the beginning one OF the preserip--
ton clerks attended to the occasional
calls for soda. Now We employ Tour

for they have made a study ct the art
of mixing drinks from a soda fountain,

Where CamphOr Is Found.

Camphor is the result Of e%vaporating
an essential oil found in two different
trees, the cinnamomum camphora,
which grows in China and Japan. and
the dipterocarpus camphora, Of SUI
matra and Borneo: from these two
trees it is obtained in very different
manners. In the cinnamomum it ex-
lists in oct and branch, stems and
leaves, which are chopped small and
put into earthen vessels, which are
heated; these vessels are covered with
hoods, and rice straw is placed in them;
the camphor is volatliiZed and rises; it
condenses on the straw. from which it
is afterwacd cleared. In the diptero-
carpus it is found in the trunk, in a
solid form. and it Is obtained by cut
ting the tree down and splitting it
open: it is found in pieces from one to
two feet long and about as thick as n
mans arm. \ moderate-sized tree will
yield about ten pounds Of camphor, a
larger one about twice that quantity.
This kind is more highly esteemed
than the other, so that In Japan POO
pounds Of native camphor are valued
at one pound OF the Bornean.

LIVES BLOWN OUT.
Terrible Tornado Ravages New Orleans
aud the Vicinity.

Terrible Tornado Ravages New Orleans
and the Vicinity.
A terrific tornado struck New Orleans
the other night from the northeast.
sweeping to the south along the line of
the Mississippi River through the
parish Of Plaquemines to the Gull. The
storm was one of the worst that ever
visited that part OF the country As
far as can be learned it killed not less
than tw%enty-four persons and wounded
probably three times as many, some Of
them fatally, besides destroying a large
mount OF property at New Orleans.
The wind reached . velocity OF sixty
miles an hour.
The revetment levee on Lake Pont-
chartrain, which protects New Or
leans from overflow on the rear, was
washed away and the water swept over
it fifteen feet Or more. Many of the
yachts there were sunk Or injured. In
the Mississippi the coal feet was scat
tered, the transfer boat Of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad badly damaged and
several wharves carried away. The
New Orleans and Northeastern had its
track flooded for seven miles and SO
badly washed that it can run no trains.
The track of the Louisville and Nash
vile was almost wholly washed out for
fifteen miles. Three persons were
killed and one wounded severely, if not
fatally. by the storm in the city of New
Orleans itself. Below the city it
vas far worse, especially in Plaque
mines Parish. Here the wind
reached a velocity Of between
