When Barnum,. Burn.a.

Barnum's museum, destroyed July
Ii, 1865, was one Of the most amusing
fires that ever occurred in New York
city. 1t was in the daytime. Chief
John Decker was in charge, assisted
by Orr, Bates, Lamb, Cleary, Everett
and Sullivan. Thousands crowded
Broadway clear up to Park place as
we'll as Park row, while the park in
front was black with people. 1t was
fun to see the boys at the outset of
the fire bringing out Barnums old
stuffed Images and wax figures. One
fellow ran out with Henry Clay under
one arm and General Winfield Scott
under the other. Queen Victoria was
dragged out by the hair Of her head.
Mary, queen Of Scots, was tossed out
OF the second story window, followed
by Hicks the pirate. Head Carpenter
Walker Of the theater, who was also
member of Engine No. 49, that lay In
Ann street, got so excited that he fell
headlong down the main entrance stair
way with Napoleon in one hand and
Walker, filibuster, in the other.
The happy family that attracted so
much attention in those days were de-
term1ned not to leave The cage door
was thrown wide open and the birds
and animals punched with sticks to
drive them out, but few would accept
their liberty and were burned to death.

Dat Hay For Breeding Horses.

If a stallion in the stud gets the right
amount Of cut hay in his grain ration
he does not need loose hay during the
day, says Breeders Gazette. Only the
best quality of hay should be fed to
breeding horses. Oats or wheat cut
when in the milk makes the best hay
for such animals If cured properly, as
such has less dust and dirt and usual.
~ comes on to be cut and made at dry
season Of the year. The man who
makes business Of keeping breeding
stations will find it to his advantage
to make enough such hay to last them
the year around.

And signing, .sobbing, kindly spread
Ger summers sacred silent dead,
Brown leaves. watch and weep alone

Last summer eve, how sweet their breath
Now slowly sweeps the sickle, death,
And here they lie all cold and dead.

I'll sadly pace my chamber floor,
And dream my love heart glad once more,
Though all are sleeping meath the snow.

And bask upon their daisied brink.

GRIM HUMoR OF EMPRESS.
Chinese. Physicians Made to Give
Written Guarantee to Restore
Favorite to Health

Grim humor is a notable characteris-
Lie of the empress doWager of China.
The latest illustration of this trait was
given by the august lady in connection
with the illness of a favorite attendant
named Ii Lien Wing.
Ii was down with fever, and his royal
mistress, in state of the greatest anx-
iety, summoned to attend him several
prominent native physicians, who, after
an inspection of their patient, pro-
nounced him to be in no danger. The
empress dowager was not satisfied with
this assurance, and made the medical
savants give written guarantee that
they would completely restore him to
health.
AS the attendant is man advanced
in years, 1t is highly improbable that
The unfortunate physicians will be able
to carry out their pledge, and failure
will bring down upon them quite enough
imperial displeasure to make life bur-
den to be dispensed with at the earliest
opportunity. Disgrace and suicide are
SYNONYMOUS in China.

CHARIOT OF THE sun
Remarkable Find in Peat Moor on
Danish Island.
Discovery Proves Sum Worship OF the
Gsrmanic Race OF EARLY Days
Vehicle Estimated to he
About 1000 Years Old.

In peat moor of Trundholm, in the
Danish island OF Seeland, a remarkable
discovery has been made in connection
with that sun worship which once was
widely diffussd among the whole Ger
manic race. Six inches under the de-
cayed vegetable growth was found ..
bronze sun chariot, partly broken, which
represents the disc Of the heavenly orb,
drawn on three pairs Of wheels by
horse.
Danish writer's conclude that this sun
chariot must be about 5000 years old,
vet it is of no mean artistic merit The
sun disc is covered with a circular and
spiral ornamentation, different on its
two sides. The design was evidently
first worked in with a graver, and then
thin plate of gold was pressed in The
horse, rather archaically shaped, was
connected with the disc by loopholes on
his neck for slipping reins through His
tail was not locked, for the animal, cast
hollow, shows an opening at the tail
where of old probably hcrsehair ap-
pendage was put in.
The disc is only 371s>inches long. The
whole structure, the wheels of which are
now damaged, could no doubt have been
once rolled about on an altar. The fact
OF its having been purposely broken
points to an ancient sacrifcial custom in
the north. This Wasteful practice of de-
stroying valuable things by way of an
offering to the gods has its counterpart
in the law of Odin, which said that "the
dead should be burnt, and that every
thing which had been their own should
be carried to the pyre'
DR.. Sophus Muller believes the work
discovered in the Trundholm moor chad
probably been made in the country
where it has been found, or at any rate
in that region where there was once q
population of the same common Gull
ture and mode of life-namely, in south
ern Scandinavia and in the most north
ern German lands"
Sun worship existed in the north. II
was cult widely prevailing among the
Germanic race-even more SO than in tho
| south, for in the north the sun is essen
TALLY q benefcent star, while in the
south it is 0ftener bringer of death, of
| plague, and OF agricultural distress. In
the Edda tourists repeatedly meet with
sun chariot, nay, even a sun daughter.
In old German poetry, tales and folk
lore there is an Overwhelming mass Of
evidence for the same cult The pas
sages in the poetical and the prose Edda,
or Morse scripture, amply testify to a be-
lief in sun drawn by steed
! Now, at last, the visible proof of that
ancient, even prehistoric, creed of the
common forbears has been bodily
brought from under the earth, where II
was SO long hidden.

ARRANGEMENT MADE WITHOUT
SACRIFICE OF 4 SINGLE DUTY
Ho Confederation Given I'm Return for
Immense Benefit Secured for Amer-
Farmers-Protest Against Stories
Recently Cfrculated.

Washington, Feb. Without the
sacrifice of single duty on products
entering the United States, and, in fact,
lister Thompson has secured preferen-
tial rates on several lines Of staple
American products imported in Bra
I'll. The details of the arrangement,
made public Saturday, are that Brazil
gives preferential rates to the follow
ing products of the United States:
To -four in barrels, 80 per cent; to
Der, still wines, paints, varnishes, con-
densed milk, clocks and watches, 20
per cent.
Minister Thompson says that with
the exception of -four none of these
articles is being imported into Brazil
from the United States in any guam
tity at the present time. AS for flour,
the imports, formerly 100000 bar
rels per anunum about six or seven
years ago, have fallen off to about $780,
600 barrels per annum, owing to the
excessive duty which the present
agreement will diminish.
So the minister says that if the
American exporters, manufacturers and
farmers are ready to ta4Ae advantage
of this opportunity, there is a bound
less market open to them in Brazil.
Minister Thompson enters the most
energetic protest against the stories
that have been widely circulated In
America in the past few years regard
ing the extension Of German influence
In Brazil. He says that the German
immigration into the great seaboard
states Of Brazil ls very much in char
acter like that which flows into the
United States. Naturally, this large
influx of Teutonic blood makes itself
felt among the Brazilians, but, says
Mr.. ! thompson, just as they do in
America, the Germans in Brazil, with
out forgetting their Father1and, be-
come absolutely loyal Brazilians, and
constitute one of the best props OF the
republic.
