PREPARED FOR THE WORST.
The Hotel Didn't Burn, but If 1t Had He
Would Have Been Fixed.

''Do you believe that we are some
times forewarned of great dangers?"
asked the commercial traveller. Ibid
you ever have-what you call it?-rre-
monitions? Well, l was premonished
the other night. had to put up at a
junction hotel, and they sent me clear
up to the top of the building into one
of those rooms with slanted ceiling.
You know the kind. You pay for the
room, and the roof occupies it.
There was one window. looked
out of the window, and it seemed to be
at least so feet down to the ground. 1t
was wooden building, and an old one,
understand? While was looking out of
the window a freight train went by,
and the engine threw out a million
sparks.
Well, I says to myself, Il can see
my finish right now. There'll be 40
trains going by on these two roads to-
night, and it's four to one shot that
this hotel is going to catch fire.
looked out again. There wasn't any fire
escape, and they didn't have any rope
in the room. You see, in good many
places like that they have big coil of
rope in one corner and sign that says,
In case of fire take hold of the rope and
jump. A man reads that sign and then
he can't sleep all night.
''Well, looked out of the window
again, and switch engine pulled past
and shot out lot of live cinders as big
as your fist That settled it, went over
to the bed and found it had two sheets
I took out my pencil and figured that I
could tear each sheet into four strips,
and, allowing for the knots, each sheet
would make about "a feet of fire escape,
although, of course, there would be
some waste where I would have to tie it
to the bed. I figured that could push
the bed over to the window, fasten one
end of my rope to the headboard and
play out about 40 feet. l had it all

hard. Of course still had some dis
lance to fall after | got to the end of
my rope, but that was all right You
know, as soon as had my rope fixed I
was going to drop the mattress, so as to
have something to fall on.
Il took my oardcase, watch money
and keys and tied them in a handker-
chief, which 1 very carefully placed on
the window sill. SO that it would not
be overlooked i'll the hurry of getting
away. There didn't seem to be nything
else that could do until the alarm was
given, so turned in and fell asleep
right away. 1 wasn't worrying, because

The Peacock at Home,

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. AS the birds live in the same re-
gion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a
very dangerous sport The long train of
the peacock is not its tail, as many sup
pose, but is composed of feathers which
grow out just above the tail and are
called the tail coverts. Peacocks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned in the Bible. Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, in 1 Kings K. Hundreds Of years
ago in Rome many thousand peacocks
were killed for the great feasts which
the emperors made. The brains Of the
peacock were considered great treat,
and many had to be killed for single
feast st. Nicholas.

A Millionaire's Extravaganza.

An example of extravaganza by q
well known millionaire who built him
self castle in one of the English mid
land counties is reported by The English
Illustrated Magazine The water of the
place was pure and sufficient, but case
of scarlet fever occurring in the village
at little distance from his residence
he took dislike to the local water sup
ply and at cost of over $400,0 pro-
vided himself with fresh supply from
distance of Is miles Without children
or wife and great traveller, he does
not inhabit his own country place for
more than three months III the year.
Although he drinks no wine, his water
is an expensive beverage. Allowing only
8 per cent on the money, with / per
cent sinking fund, his water costs him
$3.50 for every day he visits his castle.
This supply, it should be added, is linn
tied to the one house. There is really
no reason why it should be shared with
others, for the local supply is ample
and Of good quality.

FREELY FLASHES.
The Method by Which the Insect Emit
Its Beautiful Light,

1he Method by which the Insect EmitS
Its Beautiful Light,
BY what process do firef1ies produce
the beautiful flashes of Light" That is
question frequently asked, and as en-
tomological books fail to give salts
factory reply the following explanation
may be interesting:
have made a special study of the
light, and carefully examined the mech
anism of the illuminating segments in
both male and female specimens. The
light emitted, when tested by the spec
trosCope, gives a brilliant spectrum,
which is continuous through all the
cOlors from the red to the violet rays.
The illuminating organs consist of dis
tinct spherical cells, each one of
which is about 10000 of an inch in
diameter, and the beetle has power to
illuminate one or many of these cells at
will, producing light of corresponding
intensity. The cells contain a fluid sat-
urated with phosphorus, and the-oover-
ing of the cell is so thin that atmosphere
coming in contact with it may affect
the contents.
1t has been suggested that the beetle
produces the flashes of light or renders
the phosphorus suddenly luminous by
electricity-by the injection of warm
fluids-or by friction. But it is certain
that the flash of light is made in an
other way. We may clearly trace con-
nection between the spiracles and
trachea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle
and each of the Illuminating cells, and
find that the little creature renders the
phosphorus contained in the cells lumi-
nous by forcing air upon them. The cells
when thus excited emit light from their
surface.
We may initiate the act of the beetle
by dissecting one and placing the illumi-
mating organ under microscope, COW
cred by thin glass cover. When the
cover is lifted so as to admit little air,
the cells become luminous.
We may add that the name ''firef1y"
is misnomer, as the lightning bug"
is true beetle, belonging in the natural
order caleoptera, and in the family
lampyride. ID. K. Winder in Detroit

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A Simple Harmless Remedy-Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
 pepsia and Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of. stomach trouble, says: All forms of& indigestion really amount to the same lining, that is, failure to com pletely digest the food eaten; 10 mat ter whether the trouble is acid dys- pepsia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural harmless way to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by sim pie remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable es- sences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and all lowed to dissolve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods It is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known by people generally, it would be national blessing, as we are a nation of dys- peptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect diges- tion and nutrition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but fifty cent package will do more real good i for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines and per. son has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stom- ach, which he does not know, wheI widely advertised patent medicines art used

MAN WHO MAKES GOLD.
E. c. Brice Claims to Be Entire,y
 Successful.

Chicago, Nov 29.-E. c. Brice, who for converting crude antimony in.o gold, declares that his first experiment with one ton of antimony has resulted in a yield of pure gold and silver, which on being assayed showed a yield of $1,S91 in pure metal.
 Under more favorable auspices this yield could, he claims, be increased. He considers his process an unquali- fled success. He said:
 Briefly described, it is as follows My first step is to prepare certain ingredient the nature of which is a secrelta The second part of the pro- cess is the preDaration of the anti monyl Pure! antimony is subjected to a process of distillation. One of the products of this distillatiom is a yellowish sediment, collected on sacks placed over the end of a long chi1n- ney. This sediment is then mixed with the mysterious ingredient, and the mixture placed into bricks. I take these bricks and roast them in furnace, piled up volcano shaped. Now comes the most beautiful part of the whole process. The molten liq- uid is poured into bone ash cupels and there appears extraordinary rainbow like scinfillations and incandescent hues of every description When this is over the gold ore is left i'm the cu- pels. The ore is next refined by the ordinary commercial method. I aim to produce gold precisely as nature forms it, by volcanic action, and in my miniature volcano the same chem ical reactions take place as in Vesu- vius"
