made a rush for safety, but the stage
hands and house fremen were valiant
ly fighting the blaze, tearing down
burning canvas and ripping away every
infammable article. 1t was the work
Of few seconds, but STANCE saw only
Pauline Melton's slender figure. In the
excitement she had been forgotten and
was madly trying to beat out the fire
which was shooting up her garments
and enveloping her arms. With cry
STANCE caught swaying rope and slid
down to the stage The friction of the
rope on his hands, unused to toll, was
terrific, but he did not feel it. Tearing
down heavy drapery, he wrapped it
about Pauline, fairly beating her grace

flames
The worst was over. The wet and
blackened scenery hung limp about

up Miss Melton, who was still uncon-
scious. He carried her into the green
room. Somehow he seemed the man in
possession. He was praying that she
might not regain consciousness before
the arrival of the doctor with soothing
bandages and lotions.

PRoFITED BY WATERLOO.
Nathan Rothschild Made Six Million
as Result of the Battle.

There is probbly no more picturesque
and unique bit of financierIng in history
than that by which Nathan Rothschi1d
made $6,000,000 as result OF the battle
of Waterloo. The story is told by Mr..
Henry Clews in his book, Twenty
Eight Years in Wall Street" Roths-
child had followed Wellington during
his campaign against Napoleon, and at
Waterloo the imam of money sat like
a soldier in a shower of rain and bull
lets, watching the battle. AS soon as
he observed the arrival of Butcher and
the rout of the French, Rothschild set
spurs to his horse and rode swiftly to
Brussels. A carriage whiled him to Os-
tend and the next morning he was at
the Belgian coast. The sea was so
rough that he had to pay $500 to boat
man to carry him across the channel,
and he landed at Dover in the evening.
The next morning he was in London
before the opening Of stock exchange.
1t was known that he had come direct
from Wellington, and must have the
latest news. He had outstripped all the
couriers and messengers of the nation.
There was no telegraph then. In an
swer to the anxious inquiries for the
news Of Wellington, Rothschild dis
creetly said nothing Of the battle of
Waterloo.
Instead, he sighed, and told of Blu
cher's previous defeat at Iigny, and said
that as a result there could be little
hope for Wellington. The gloomy re-
port caused a panic on the exchange,
and when the market had reached the
bottom, Nathan Rothschild bought ev-
erything that he could find money for
all being done quietly through his
brokers' Then came the news of the
battle of Waterloo, England's victory,
the final defeat of Napoleon. Securities
of all kinds went up with a rush, and
Nathan Rothschild, being well stocked
at small cost, made great profits about
Sc ,OOO,0O He was one of the five sons
of the original Anselm Rothschild, who
began his career in lite money-earn-
ing shop in Frankfort, Germany, and
founded the richest family in the
world.

Monkey Rides in Engine Cab.

York Central went into the freight
yards at Tarrytown one night strange
face peered out of the cab window. The
train carried some animals belonging
to the Boston show. When it stopped
at way station few miles above Tar
rytown Admiral Farragut, one OF the
largest monkeys, escaped. When the
train started the monkey made a quick
scramble for the front car, when the
glow of the fire in the cab of the loco
motive appealed to him. The admiral
made his way over the tender and en-
tered the cab, to the surprise of Engine
Driver Edwards and Fireman Martin
Kelly. He was made comfortable and
allowed to continue his ride to larry
town, wnere one of the keepers took
him in charge.-Ex.

Scientific reading in public libraries
has recently been discussed by Arthur
E. Bostwick, chief of circulating de-
partment of the New York public IL
brary. His conclusion is that the pub

the percentage of scientific books cir
culated are here given: Loss Angeles.
115 per cent; New York, go; Cleve-
land, "a; Providence, TO; San Fran
cisco, IL; Philadelphia, So, and Pitts

what proportion Of scientific books
should circulate. but the figures do not
show any very general demand. OF
the so-classed science books circulated,
those on education, zoology. physics.
English, natural science, botany and
political economy are most in demand

perience under permanent organization
controller by the civil service regula.
tions governing other branches of the
postal service, have demonstrated that
all the claims heretofore advanced in
advocacy of the extension of rural free
delivery and its adoption as per-
manent featured of postal administration
have been sustained.
1t was claimed that rural delivery
would increase the value of farm lands.
Official reports indicate that in com
munities served by rural free delivery,
isolated farms have been enhanced in
value because of that service at an
average rate of at least per cent in
the older-sett1ed states, and in the more
remote states and territories, where
postal facilities have heretofore been
few and far between, the increase Of
value has been much greater.
Farmers In Touch With Markets
1t was asserted that to bring the
farmers into close touch with the mar
kets would enable them to obtain bet
ter prices for their products. Specific
instances have been brought to the at
tention OF tn department where the
prompt delivery of livestock quota
tions, indicating temporary glut in
the market, to farmers intendingto ship
hold back their shipments till the mar
kets resumed their normal conditions,
has saved to >individual cattle raisers
more than the total cost of one year S
rural delivery over the routes on which
they lived. On the other hand in many
instances, information of an advance
in the prices Of particular farm products
has reached the grower, by means of
rural free delivery, in time to enable
him to make a much more profitable
bargain with his commission merchant
than ne could otherwise have done.
Social and Educational Benefits.
Lastly, the claim was made that all
these material advantages would be
equaled if not surpassed by the social
and educational benefits conferred in
relieving the monctony Of rural life, by
bringing city and country into close
connection, and giving the farmer an
opportunity of keeping abreast with
the rest of the world, through the daily
receipt of his newspapers and cor
respondence, as had hitherto been en-
joyed exclusively by the city man. How
thoroughly these features Of the ser
vice have justified the claims made IN
their behalf is known to all who are
familiar with the operation of the rural
free delivery system.
The Increase Permanent.
Nor are these results sporadic. The
increment is steady and continuous. So
also, is the diminution Of other postal
expenditures which are taken up by the
rural service. Figures which only in
part represent the result obtained in
this direction indicate that 2, 149 post
masters of the fourth class, who re-
turned no revenue to the government
but, by provision of law, retained their
gross receipts as compensation for their
services, were dropped from the service
between Nov. 1, 1901, and Oct. 81, 1902
The total revenues Of these offices dur
ing the fiscal year ending 1901 amount
ed to $142, $50. During the same period
1868 star-route contracts, which sup
piled the offices thus discontinued, have
been abrogated. The aggregate annua
outlay involved in these star routes was
$275,469.

The German Orientgesellschaft, with

archaeological matter has been IN

Gesellschaft, as Is openly stated, has
far-reaching schemes, the purpose be-
Ing. to establish in Berlin collections Of
materials for the study of Orientalia
that will, If not rival that of the British
museum, yet TO certain degree make
it unnecessary for German and other
savants from the continent to go to
London for their materials. Complaints
have been repeatedly made that the au-
thorities Of the Berlin museum do not
welcome scholars from abroad, as was
the case in former years. The German
society, under the direction of Profess
sor Delitzsch, who has been in the ORR
ent for some five months, has begun its
Egyptian work near Cairo, with rich
results DIR. Ludwig Bornhardt is in

The excavations conducted by the
Palestine Exploration fund at the site
of the Biblical GeZer last summer have
revealed the superposed remains of
four occupations, the first probably
Neolitthic, the other three of the
Bronze age. Two burial caves were
discovered, the oldest containing guam
titles of burnt human bones. A valua-
BILE series of food vessels and other pot
terry and fine collection Of bronze
weapons were found. In September op-
erations were in progress on a magnif-
cent megalithic structure, and three
imposing monoliths about IA feet high
had been uncovered. The presence OF
jars containing infants bones (some
charred) indicates the probable exist
ence of temple at which human sacrf-
fees were practiced.
