Alma-Tadema's House.

In an article on Alma-Tadema, in
the Century, Mrs. Edmund Gosse thus
describes the destruction Of the artist s
house and its rebuilding:
BY the year 1874 the decorations of
Mr.. Alma-Tadema's house, at the
North Gate, Regents Park, were COM
pleted, and the whole effect was Of a
palace Of exotic beauty. In a moment
all this beauty was well-nigh destroyed
by the explosion of a barge laden with
gunpowder and benzolin, which was
passing along the canal in front of his
house. The walls were cracked, the
windows broken, the front door. even.
was torn off its hinges, so that the
open portal showed on it's threshold
the almost too hospitable greeting of
"Salve" to the outside world. M. lis
sot, the French artist, who was at that
time living in London, said that the
terrace Of houses nearest to the scene
of the accident had all the appearance
Of the streets of Paris after the bonn
bardment during the Commune. There
is pretty story of the behavior on
this occasion Of the two young daugh-
ters Of the house. They had always
been told that if they felt frightened
at night they were to ring their bed
room bell; SO, when they awoke sud-
denly. in the utter darkness, to find
the window-frame lying on their bed,
the ceiling falling in fragments and
hundreds Of hazelnuts-part of the
boats cargo-showering down upon
them, the elder child remarked to her
sister, in the high calm voice Of author
ity, Anna, ring the bellr'
The news Of the explosion was a
terrible blow to Mr.. and Mrs. Alma
Tadema, who were travelling in Scot
land at the time. But Mr.. Alma-Ta-
dema's splendid energy was equal to
the occasion, and he at once saw
means for improving his house. The
outer walls were, first Of all, firmly
clamped together with huge iron grid
ers; next, the inner house was consid-
cred. New doorways were cut through
the side walls, arches were construct
ed, and here and there a slim, support
ing column was added The whole as
pect Of the place became, if possible,
more charming and fairy-like than be-
fore. The artist decorated the ceiling
Of his studio in the Pompeilan style,
with figures Of his own hand in a de-
sign Of light floral festoons, dividing
the space into panels of different sizes
and shapes. For these Mr.. Alma-Ta.
dema made some charming sketches
of dancing nymphs and tootling satyrs.

AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
And When it was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.

And When it was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.
At a way station on the Louisville
and Nashville one winter the station
keeper had an exciting time. It was
midnight, and the station being in
deserted part Of the country had been
left BY the loafers. 1t began to rain
The station keeper was not sleepy and
determined to sit up a great part or
the night, especially as he had an un-
usual sum of money in his cash drawer
and he felt uneasy about 1t.
Robberies of stations and farm
houses down the line had been fre-
uuent. So he settled himself down to
vigil. As he felt hungry he took
can Of cove oysters down from the
shelf and set it On the stove. A mo-
ment afterwards there was knock at
the door and he admitted a cold,
drenched tramp, whom he allowed to
lie down by the fire. Just then train
came around the bend and the station
agent stepped outside to display the
go-ahead signal He felt distrustfui
of the tramp and feared that he would
fool with the money drawer. AS the
train passed he hurried into the room
and had scarcely opened the door and
seen the tramp standing by the stove
with something glistening in his hand
when there was a report and the agent
felt a stinging sensation over his eye
Although blinded with blood from
the wound, he drew his pistol and
fired five times into the room. He
then dashed round to the rear Of the
station and hid under the platform.
After an hours time he crawled out,
resigned to the loss Of his money and
thankful that he had escaped with his
life. The room was dark; the fire was
out. The tramp had evidently es-
capped with his booty. SOrrOwfully the
agent lit a match, but instantly drop
ped it when a startling sight met bis
eyes. He lit another one, found a
candle and gazed about at the scene Of
desolation.
The lamp had been shattered by a
bullet. A cheese had been perforated
with two bullets. The room was filled
with smoke from the stove-pipe, which
a fourth bullet had perforated. SGang-
est Of all, the room was filled with
cinders, and oysters frescoed every
lLiuS' oysteIS, oysters, oysters, CoFc
oysters. The agent grasped and real
lied it ALL The can had remained in
the stove too long and being sealed
up had exploded from the steam when
the tramp poked the fire. Of course
the tramp skipped when the shooting
commenced. The cash drawer was in
tact. A piece Of tin was found near
the door, where 1t had recoiled off the
agents face. The agent spent the re-
mainder Of the night in mending the
stove.-Louisville Commercial.

He Wanted 20 Play.

There are few people who care to
risk an encounter with q lunatic. Most
OF us would consider discretion the
/ better part Of valor'' in such q case
and make good use Of our feet
: Recently one OF the inmates Of the
asylum at Flatbush, Long Island, made
his escape. A gentleman, walking
through the grounds, came across him,
and his suspicion being aroused by the
mans manner, quickened his pace and
turned in another direction to avoid
him.
] Much to his alarm the lunatic started
after on the run.
: The gentleman was elderly and stout.
!, but fear lent him wings. and he dew
,oyer the ground at pace which would
have done credit to a professional
tsprinter.
He ran for two miles, his pursuer
,,eloSe st his heels. and then his wind
tgaye out and he could get no further.
Trembling with fright and painting for
fbresth, he leaned up against a fence
,and gave himself mp for lost.
The lunatic dasl ed up and stretching
a long bony hand at him, cried,

After many experiments with those
considered most successful, and a
study of the subject in the light of
anatomy, physiology and natural coin
cldences, l regard palmistry as with
out basis in science Or sense
That no two hands have ever been
absolutely similar is indisputable.
When critically examined, no two
leaves or flowers, though of the same
species, appear exactly alike; much
less would such complex organizations
as human hands be found without diff
ference
| General conclusions can therefore be
drawn from the shape and size of the
hands as to strength, suppleness, cir
culation Of blood, temperament and
the size of the form to which they be-
long. But even here a large margin
must be allowed for departures from
general rules. Huge hands are some
times the mortificatio of small and
otherwise beautiful women, while gi-
ants are found with small feet and
hands. Sometimes large feet and
diminutive hands are possessed by the
observed that the hands of the chill
/
birth than those of persons whose an
cestors have lived idle lives, or have
been engaged in vocations not requir-
| ing the use Of the hands. Though such
| children might become renowned for
intellectually or proficiency in art, the
large hand might be transmitted to
several generations.
What is justly allowed to chirognomy
is true of every other part Of the body,
in its proportionate relation to the sum
Of human activity. With these rational
conclusions the votary Of palmistry
will not be content. 1t is mystery he
seeks, and a power to read the past,
present and future, which nature has
denied to man.
The sole and sufficient cause Of diff
ferent lines in different persons is the
difference in the shape and size Of the
hands, elasticity of skin, strength and
use of the muscles, and external pres
sure. Therefore hands of different
persons are not alike, nor both hands
/ of the same person. Mr.. Francis Gal
toms remarks, in his work Finger
Prints are to the point:
'sThe palms of the hands and the
soles of the feet are covered with two
Totally distinct classes of marks. The
most conspicuous are the creases or
folds of the skin, which interest the
followers of palmistry, but which are
no more significant to others than the
creases in old clothes; they show the
lines of most frequent hexure. and
nothing more"
For lines to be an indication Of any
thing mental, moral or emotional, it
would be necessary for them to be
evolved under the influence of nerves
connected with the brain centres, in
which the said intellectual and moral
Qualities inhere; but superinduced
from the periphery. they can mean
nothing except more or less of differ
