Fire panics in theaters are be-
coming frequent. At Norfolk,
Neb., loss of life through such a
panic was narrowly averted at a
matinee on Tuesday. Theaters
are now required to have all
available means for the protec-
ton of audiences from fire, but
despite these precautions many
people lose all reason at times and
stampede all the rest. Vigilance
on the part of theater manage
ment is, therefore, always very
necessary.

An Admiral'S Bluff.

In 1897, the Dutch. who were in al
lance with the French. had equipped
their feet at the Texel and had made
preparations to embark in it their
whole army for an attack upon Ire
land. 1t was imperative that they
should be watched in force and pre-
vented from joining the French fleet
then in Brest, and this task fell to
DuncanS lot.
Just as he was on the point of sail
ing from Yarmouth with the North
Sea fleet to blockade the TeXel, the
famous mutiny at the More broke out
and eleven Of his line-of-battle ships
turned back and joined the ringleader
Parker at the mouth of the Thames.
In spite of this desertion the gallant
admiral went on to his destination
with his own ship. the venerable GA
guns, the Adamant $50 guns), and
the Active, cutter.
He then proceeded to bluff the
Dutch By keeping up regular sue
cession of signals to the Adamant il,
the offing, as though sending orders to
a feet outside. he actually induced the
enemy to believe that he lay off the
coast in force. In fact, the Dutch
never discovered that there were only
two ships and a cutter watching them
until the mutiny was over and Dun
cans other SHIPS had rejoined him.
Later on in the same year. the great
victory of Camperdown came to crown
his riumph.-Pearsons Weekly.

AS result Of some very interesting
experiments made by scientists and
Psychologists with view to determine
the relative strength Of right and left
limbs it has been ascertained that
over 80 per cent Of the men examined
had the right arm stronger than the
left, 1874 per cent had the two arms
of equal length and strength and 32.7
per cent had the left arm stronger
than the right OF women 46.9 per
cent had the right arm stronger than
the left and 24.5 per cent had the left
stronger than the right. In order to
arrive at the average length Of limbs
fifty skeletons We're measured, twenty
five of each sex. OF these twenty
three had the right arm and left leg
longer, six the left arm and right
leg, while in seventeen cases all the
members were more or less equal in
length.

why Bird. Are Easily Poisoned.

Birds seem to have no discrimina ton
whatever in regard to poisons, proba-
bly, because they have no sense and
swallow their food without masticating
1t. They are terrified to paralysis by
the appearance of a poisonous snake,
unless the terror be due to dread Of the
appearance of the serpent rather than
to an inherited knowledge of its ven
omous power, but such intelligent birds
as rocks will pick up and eat poisoned
grain, and crows and ravens readily
eat poisoned eggs or meat. Chickens
will eat the poisonous seeds Of labur-
mum and die from its effects. Wheth-
er birds such as tits and greenf1nches
ever do so does not seem to be known.
But wild birds are frequently found
dying In gardens, though apparently
they have been In good health few
hours before, and their death may be
due to the consumption of poisonous
seeds.-London Spectator.

How the Mail. Are Robbed.

There is vast number of employees
In the postottice department, yet only
about 400 eases Of ritling the mails are
discovered in the course of year. 1t
Is so easy to open and reseal letters
that it is wonder there are not thou
sands of cases. Their fewness speaks
volumes for the honesty of the men
in the service. Here is the method Of
the expert in opening letters: Place the
envelope, address down, upon a piece
Of dry blotting paper. Then lay a
piece of wet blotting paper upon the
sealed flap and allow it to remain there
under pressure of book or something
for few minutes. This moistens the
mucilage, and the flap may be lifted
without injury by rolling a cedar PEN
Gil beneath it. The contents being ex-
tracted, press the flap back with the
dry blotting paper, and nobody can
possibly detect the robbery. The only
safeguard is sealing wax.-New York

The Origin of "T1p.v

1t has often been stated that the ORR
gin Of the word ''tip" was from the ini-
tials Of the words "to insure prompt

to fee waiter was regarded in New
York city as bribe-that is, an attempt
Of one guest to secure attention at the
expense of other guests. This is on the
authority Of Phil Hone, then New
York's mayor. Zip" means san acct

was ashamed Of it. So he accidental
ly" dropped coin where and when
only the waiter could see it so as to
