the bucket brigade offered the only resist
ance to the flames. The high wind drove
the fire up the hillside, and everything in
it's path was destroyed. The town is panic
stricken owing to lack of water and fire
apparatus. Little insurance was carried
by the property owners, the insurance
premiums being almost prohibitive.

were that he (Hayter) rode up to Nulls
cabin and Nulls came out and told Hayter
that he wanted him to sign deed with
him to some mining property being trans

would not do it and Nulls said he would
shoot him if he refused. They quarreled.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
The English Drummer Compared With His
Fellow Salesman In America.

Fellow Salesman In America.
The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the same line of pol
icy in "getting there" so far as securing
trade is concerned. His invariable rule,
however, is that his first price given to
a local merchant is his last and only
one. There is no going in the morning
with an offer and then i'll the afternoon
with an extra inducement TO make the
trade. This being the invariable rule, it
saves much labor and apprehension i'll
the mind of the buyer that he has not
done so well as he could have done with
more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort Of
the traveller, and at the hotels special
apartment called the commercial room
is set apart for his exclusive use. In this
room smoking is prohibited until 8 p.
NJ, place being devoted to that pur-
pose ut other times. The traveller takes
his meals in the commercial room, the
dinner being a set affair i'll which all
travellers III the house generally partici-
pate. The oldest man is at the head of
the table and is called the president,
while at the foot is the youngest man,
and he is termed vice president. Selec-
tions of food are often made by vote,
and two or three will club together for
special dishes or wines. the president

throughout Great Britain and Ireland
at these prices. At these dinners and in
the general conversation no introduction
of one to the other, if strangers, is
necessary, and all join in the general

common to the whole brotherhood of

Quarter Deck and Gangway.

Quarter deck originated from the ar
rangement that the portion of the deck
so called was about one-fourth of the
whole space. Fore or forward castle
received its name as being the principal
part of the ship in which the fighting
took place, being raised much above the
level of the other part of the deck and
holding a commanding position. Poop,
the raised afterpart Of the ship, set apart
for officers, both i'll meaning and deri-
walton, comes from the Latin.
Gangway has been handed down from
the days of the ancient galleys of the
Ph9nicians, Carthagenians and Ro-
mans, it having been board which
ran along the whole length, serving as
a passage for the rowers to and from
their seats. 1t was also utilized as 4
resting place for the mast and sail
when not III use. The term now denotes
a place of exit or entrance from or TO q
vessel, generally from the shore, by
means of long plank or platform. 60

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Remarkable Cases of Its Occurrence In and
Eject on Human Bodies.

EfYect on Human Bodies.
Medical literature of this country as
we'll as that of England and continental
Europe relates many remarkable In
stances of the spontaneous combustion
of the human body. In all such cases,
which are the more interesting ON ac-
count of their comparative rarity, the
victim has been person addicted to the
immoderate use of spirituous liquors,
either as beverage or in the form OF q
bath. Little by little all the water and
other liquids of the body are replaced by
alcohol, and then all that is necessary
to cause a catastrophe is to find some
means of applying flame to the spurious
gases which are escaping from every
pore. Occasionally the breath Of the
poor victim is fired while lighting a
pipe or cigar, or it may be that a
fame comes in contact with and lights
the alcoholic vapors which are escaping
from some other portion of the body.
When once the fire is applied, blush
fame extends very rapidly to all parts
Of the body, leaving it n shapeless mass
of charred flesh and calcined bones In
many instances attempts have been
made to extinguish the flames with wa
ter, but always without success. When
the affected parts of the victim are
touched, a fatty matter attaches itself to
the finger, still continuing to burn and
giving off a very disagreeable odor,
something similar to that which arises
from burning a mixture of horn, hair
and wool.
During all this time thick black
smoke arises from the body and attaches
itself to the surface Of all objects with
which it comes in contact, the "set-
things" from it being in the form of a
sweat, unctuous to the touch and Of an
unbearable fetor. In the majority Of
such cases combustion is only arrested
when the flesh has been reduced to
cracklings and the bone to powder.
Vincent, in his "Curiosities Respecting
Man," says, Commonly the feet and
portion of the head are not burned, but
usually when the combustion is finished
it is difficult to believe that the inciner-
ated mass is all that is left of human
body. st Louis Republic.
