An old English dungeon has been
brought to light by the tearing down of
q building in tho rear of pickle factory
on Spruce street, below Second. Tho
building is thought to have been moro
than 800 years old. Every brick in it
was brought from England, and the
building was once the pride of tho little
colony that lived here. TWAS original
ly, it is said, the courthouse of the set
Element, and underneath the ground
were those dungeons or cells in which
prisoners were kept. 1t is supposed that
the cells were used as temporary places
of confinement, and not for prisoners
serving long terms, much the same as
the "lockups" or station houses Of to-
day. The bricks are as solid as in the
days of old and will be used again in
another building. Tho old house has
been burned out several times, but the
walls were never damaged much. The
whole neighborhood is an interesting
one The building adjoining tho ono
torn down has fourth floor, which is
windowless. Instead of the usual win
dows 1t has portfolios, slanting down
ward, from which, in days of old,
when knights were bold" men proba-
bly, picked off providing Indians or enc

Tho constantly growing bicycle fad
calls attention to the largo number of
cases of INSTRUMENTATION of the word
bicycle There is certain class Of
people, particularly New York's fash
ionable set, which insists upon giving
the ~" O long soteid, as in "cycle,
forgetting that q prefix or suffix often
changes the sound Of the vowel "y. !"
Still others go to the other extreme and
give the ~" the sound of zee, " but the
best usage makes tho "y'' short and
pronounces the word "bi-sik-l" But
even among those who give the ~" the
short sound there is disposition to
place the accent ON tho second syllable
instead Of on tho first, where it belongs.
When word comes into such common
Use as "bicycle, it is we'll to learn to

HoImes "a the Autoorat.

Colonel Higginson said recently in an
address In Cambridge ON DR.. Holmes
that, although 1t was commonly sup
posed 1.-THE Autocrat" was success
from the outset, yet in his opinion its
fate was evenly balanced for month or
two. Mr.. Underwood, who was then
assistant editor of The Atlantic and had
a large share in its conduct, thought
that the work would be either a great
success or great failure and consulted
Colonel Higginson with some anxiety.
He feared that DR.. Holmes outspoken
sayings might be looked upon as conceit-
cd. But the matter was not long left in
ioubt. Springfield Mass Republican.

Tides and storms.

When tempest is approaching or
passing out on tho ocean, tho tides are
noticcably higher than usual, as if tho
water had been driven in vast wave
before the storm. The influence extends
to great distance from the cyclonic
storm center, so that the possibility ex-
lists of foretelling the approach of n dan
gerous hurricane by means Of indications
furnished by tide gauges situated far
away from the place then occupied by
tho whirling winds.
The fact that tho tidal wave outstrips
tho advancing storm shows how extreme
ly sensitive the surface Of tho sea is to
tho changes of pressure brought to bear
upon it by tho never resting atmosphere.

Didn't Understand Twins.

A festival in the family drew home
ward the scattered kindred. The boys,
twins, had been long parted, and mean
while one had married and in his wild
owerhood reared his little son, now
years old. To him, by name Bobby,
newly arrived in the house, enters the
uncle whom he had never seen, so per-
feet a confederation of his father that
Bobby runs to him at once, clings to
him and hugs his knees. A moment lat
or, when his father really came and the
laughing company were on the brink of
comment and explanation, the poor lit
tie man, giving him one MORALLY
shocked glance, fell to the floor, sob
bling, Don't want-two-papas r.
The resident puppy, familiar with the
bachelor brother, had almost as disturb
ing an experience. He stared and stared
at Bobby father, upon their introduce
ton, shifted at his garments, wayered
and stared again. Then he leaped upon
his own friend and next upon the image
and echo of him hewildered, aud finally
backed into the corner, after making a
brave stand against the supernatural,
his insulted eye upon both men, barking
and growing and indulging generally
in the doggerel for thunder. Chap

"Well, sir, I" sud stalwart looking

have much time for looking abont for
finds when house is burning and per-
haps peoples lives are at stake, yet we
do come across things occasionally.
"a brother wearcr of tho brass helmet
used TO tell how he was once at a fire
and big one, too-and in making his
way through the house positively saw
bank notes burning away like SO many
pipe lights. He picked up as many as he
possibly could, stuffed them in his poclz-
cts and went on with his work After
the confagration had ceased the man
who was left in charge pickss up among
the embers an old fashioned pepper box
black and charred-filled with silver
dollars, and further search brought
him to u number of rare old silver
spoons.
~ have myself found two or three
checkbooks, and once set of false teeth,
which popped in my pocket and soon
after was able to return to the owner,
who proved his right to possess them
without doubt. I once brought out a
genuine Stradivarius--a violin worth
several hundreds Of dollars-while dia-
monds and other jewelry have been
saved in plenty.
Indeed there are thousand and ono
things fireman finds and saves, though
perhaps that which gave me the greatest
satisfaction was an old rag doll. 1t was

But here occurred thing inexplica-
BILE.
AS the eyes of the lioness and the man
met both paused suddenly and remained
as if transfxed, the man kneeling, the
lioness crouching.
What had happened? Why did she not
obey the prompting of her instinct to
rend him asunder? Did some subtle,
sudden power stay her? What spell was
working2 What was the bond that bound
this man and beast? Could it be that
they were kindred souls, who were once
together, and who recognized each other?
Who could tell?
But whatever the spell or bond Il had
strange effect upon Tarpus, for he,
with a look in his face understandable,
stood upright, and laying his hand upon
tho noness walked over with her to the
place where Nero sat and insulted and
reviled him. Then he became frenzied,
and called loudly for the Romans to
come and kill him--the honess roaring
the while.

hearts were cold with fear.

AN uNLIlckY SPARK.
Tho Grentest Explosion of GunpowdcF the
World Has Ever Known.

Tho Greatest Explosion of GunpowdoF the
World Has Ever Known.
The greatest explosion of gunpowder
tho world has ever known took place mt
the Du Points works ON the 9TH of Octo-
Der, 1890. With their usual cautious
policy tho Du Points have never stated
just how great u quantity OF powder exl
ploded at this time, but IL is certain
that three magazines and three mills in
the upper yard were blown up, one after
another, aud II safe estimate will put
tho quantity of powder exploded at 100
tons In this explosion 10 mon and
woman wore instantly killed, whilo ~
mon and 0 women were injured, some
fatally.
Tho explosion occurred little after
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t began in the
magazine for hexagonal powder, the
kind used in large guns, and tho most
dangerous, being made not In grains,
but in reddish, six sided cakes about an
thick, with small hole running through
the center These cakes look like moth
ing so much as the nuts ON wagon
wheel. At the time OF tho explosion
cakes of powder were being packed into
large wooden boxes lined with tin, each
box being about feet square. The tin
Innings projected above the tops of the
boxes about two inches, and when box
was packed were folded down over tin
cover fitted closely upon tho cakes OF
powder. 1t was the duty Of one Of the
work1nen, William Green, to solder
these tin edges down upon the tin cover,
hot iron being used for this purpose.
On the day in question what he had
feared came to pass A fellow work
man, William McGarvey, was bringing
him the hot irons from charcoal brazier
about 25 yards distant. Green stood ut
tho door of tho open magazine, and all
around him were uncovered boxes filed
with tho hexagonal powder ready to be
sealed and slowed away. There were
also dozens of boxes that had been
sealed. Just what happened will never
be known, for neither Green nor Nc
Garvey was left to tell the story. But
the probability is one Of the soldering
irons was little too hot, and by touch
ing particle Of dirt ON the tin cover
produced tho deadly spark. Cleveland

Finds its safe nest tho germ of roses sown
Waits sure in darkness for the touch Of springs
The tendrils of the ivy blindly cling,
Stretching their brown threads toward the

To find place secure, whore, spite the

OF rushing winds, they hang till soft airs sing.
We who lovc life fear most the mystic death,
Yet we in death the selfsame life shall live

Shall simply take the glory seraphs give,
