1t might not be out of place just here
to say something in a warning way
about care in managing fires. The city

fire, come upon us we could but little
watch it burn.

ed down the stairs which gave way
under his weight throwing him to the
ground. A couple of bad bruises on
head and shoulders were the only bad
results of the fortunate accident.

The Story OF a Conc.

About twenty years ago there was q
malpractice ease tried in this court
against a Bangor physician. lie per-
formed q surgical operation on pa
tient and removed piece of diseased
bone, an this was the subject of the
suit. You know, in such cases, if the
patient docsn' t recover as quickly as
he thinks he ought to he becomes an
impatient and goes for the doctor with
a lawsuit. There was big fight in
that case, with lots of witnesses, and
the bone came in with the rest of the
evidence. It smelled worse than a
slaughter-house in midsummer when
it came into court, and it gathered adj
ditional smell constantly afterwaro.
The jury disagreed or there was a new
trial granted, SO that the case hung
fire from April to October, and the
clerk was directed to preserve the all
important bone by locking it in the
Office safe. Both parties tired to get
it but the court would not surrender it.
1t generated such odors whiic in Gus
tody that it nearly drove us out of the
office altogether, and if you want to
realize all about "the scent of the
roses" that still remains here after all
these wars, although we have done
everything to get rid of it, just put
your head into that safe.-Lewiston

The OLDEST LOCK.
It WAS Made OF wood and Its Key was
Remarkably Large.

1t WAS Made OF Wood and Its Key was
Remarkably Large.
In the History of Nineveh and It's
Palaces, by Joseph Bononli, we find a
escription OF perhaps the Oldest lock
ever discovered. says Hardware. 1t
was used in securing the gates in one
of the palaces of Khorsabad. In de-
scribing this ancient piece of hard
ware, if such terms may be applied to
wooden locks, he says: At the end OF
the chamber, just behind the first bulls.
was formerly a strong gate Of one leaf.
which was fastened by a large wooden
lock, like those still used IN the cast
Of which the key is as much as a man
can conveniently carry, and by a bar
which moved into square hole in the
wall.
1T. is to key of this description
that the prophet probably alludes:
And the key of the house of David
will | lay upon his shoulder, and it is
remarkable that the word for key in
this passage of Scripture, 'muftah, is
the same in use all over the east at the
present time. The key Of an ordinary
street door is commonly thirteen or
fourteen inches long and the key of
the gate Of a public building or of a
street or OF quarter of town is two
feet or more in length.
'tThe iron pegs at one end of the
piece of wood correspond to SO many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt of the
lock. which when the door or gate is
shut cannot be opened until the key
has been inserted and the impeachment
to the drawing back Of the bolt re-
moved by raising up SO many iron pins
that fall down into holes in the
bar or bolt corresponding to the peg in !
the key
This description and others of cor
laboratory character prove that this
form of lock and key was IN use in
Egypt four or five thousand years, dur
ing which extended period Of time it I
does not appear to have undergone any
successful change.

TWO DOMESTIC TRAGEDIES.


Two Noble Hearted Girls Who Faced the
Horrors Of 4 Murder.
They were sisters, these two, at the

York end Lancaster Rosas.

Those familiar with Shakespeare re-
member that the two antagonistic
houses of York and Lancaster had
their followers distinguished by one
idle carrying white roses and the other
ed roses. There is in cultivation a
'ose called the York and Lancaster on
account of striped white and red lines
laervading the petals-these colors. of
course, r. present the two houses
united. just what particular species
of roses were chosen has always had
m interest for the critical student. A
recent notice in the Quarterly Review
decides that the white rose Of York
was the English white II j, Rosa
arvensis, and warmly contends that it
was d double variety Of this species;
but if that rose at all, it WAS most like
~ to be q pure wild form, for it would
be almost impossible to get double
flowers for the thousands of men who
engaged in those broils.

A COUNTRY WITHOUT SILVER.

The Names of These Tavorites of Fortune

The Names of These Favorites OF Fortune
Kept Secret by the Treasury.
The millionaire is commonly repre-.
sented as engaged in clipping coupons
from bonds. This is an egregious
error, says the Washington Star. Rich
men, as q rule, do not hold coupon
bonds. The reason is quite obvious.
Such bonds are not safe property. They
are always payable to bearer, like treas
ury notes. If lost the government will
not replace them. Accordingly, for
the sake of security, people are con-
stantly exchanging them for regis
tered bonds. Thus the sum total of
coupon bonds outstanding, which is
now about 70,oo0,o00, is all the time
diminishing. They are mostly in the
hands of small holders. With the reg
istered bonds it is quite different.
They are rich mems property par ex-
cellence. Atprcsent about $500 100000
worth OF them are held by private in
dividuals. Of this great sum $s7, 000,-
600, or not far from one-half,
are owned by 1000 persons,
whose holdings average $4,000. The
names of these fortunate individuaA
arc kept secret by the treasury.
Some OF the fortunes possessed in this
shape arc enormous. Some of the
greatest belong to the Vanderbilts.
Old William II. Vanderbilt had $45,o oo,-
600 in registered bonds at one time.
