Fire on Theater Stage.-Prompt ac-
ton in extinguishing the flaming dress
of a performer averted a panic at the
Turner Grand opera house during the
presentation of a play by the German
Stock company Sunday evening. 1t
was durinng one of the important
scenes that the dress of Miss Clara
the leading woman. caught fire from
a candle on table. Edward Kill
ing, who occupied a table on the lower
floor, realizing the danger, jumped
to the stage when he noticed that
Miss Clara's gown was on fire. Two
of the members of the company also
assisted, and the flames were sub
dued, before any serious harm was
done. although Miss Clara's shoulders
were painfully scorched. The large
audience was remarkably composed
although there was a stir in some sec
lions of the house as though there was
to be a rush for the exits, as doubt
less there would have been but for
the quick work in coping with the SIT
uation.

RATS A MENACE TO HEALTH.

Men and women who keep their own
bodily health good by adequate atten-
ton to the laws of modern hygiene have
in themselves ample protection against
the disease spread by rats or other
germ carriers, even when the germ is
that of the plague. Unless exposed to
the infection for too long a period, or
too repeatedly, the clean, healthy body
is fairly safe against the attacks of the
rat s hostile parasites. Dirt and over
crowding in cities and dwellings where
sunshine is not permitted to freely flood
the infected places with its germicldal
rays-these are the conditions favor
able to the growth and propagation of
the rat and the parasites OF the rat,
says Success magazine. Although the
outbreak of the plague in Canton in
1894 caused the death of many thou
sands of natives of the poorer classes,
none of the American or English res
idents was affected. During the year
that elapsed, after the plague appeared
in San Francisco in 1907, only $50 eases
developed, because of the prompt en-
forcement of up-to-date sanitary regu-
lations. The awful visitation which
decimated London in 1864 was so
noticeably confined to the slams, where
undertaking had weakened bodies and
overcrowding had developed dirt and
vermin, that the disease was called the
"poor man s plague. .
Nevertheless, we cannot rest easily,
nor can we keep the barriers and de-
lenses adequate, without great vigi-
lance, while in the Orient the disease
sidents was affected. During the year
remains virulent. Always there is the
possibility of plague stricken rats reach
inc us in such numbers as to spread the
bacilli broadcast.

QUEER AIDS TO MEMORY.

Many and varied are the methods to
which busy men have recourse in order
to keep their memory "peeled. Very
simple is the memonical system of a
well known journalist, who merely ties
small piece of ribbon round his walk
ing stick. Many a benedick has PEN
chant for tying his handkerchief into %
series of knots to remind him of the
numerous little domestic duties he has
faithfully promised to perform during
the day, says the Strand Magazine.
A very successful plan is that of a
shrewd business man, who has recourse
to the use of pepper or snuff to jog his
memory. A liberal dose spread over his
handkerchief greets his olfaetory
nerves whenever he extracts it from
his pocket, and, as he himself says,
"that reminds me. -
Very effective is the method adopted
by some astute people who place their
finger rings on their keyring. By this
means they are not only reminded of
something by the absence of their rings
from their hands, but every time they
use their keys the fact is forced upon
their attention. There is one old gov
eminent clerk who is an amusement to
all the juniors. When he has any mat
ter of urgent Importance to attend to
in the morning he invariably ties two
of his fingers together with a small
piece of red tape.

MOVING BIG TREES.

Trees of a very great size can be
moved successfully if time and money
are of no account but it is an expen-
sive process and should be attempted
only where Immediate effect is want
ed, or in the case of a rare variety that
requires to be removed and cannot be
replaced.
To prepare large tree for removal,
says Horticulture, deep trench should
be dug around the tree from FIVE to
seven feet from the base of the tree
and working under SO as to cut off all
the roots possible without disturbing
the bole.
The ends of the roots should all be
cut smooth and the trench filed up
with a good compost of peat, rotten
sods and manure and left for year,
when second trench can be opened
at the outside of the first and the tree
carefully undermined with a pick SO
as to remove the soil with as little in
jury to the young fibers as possible,
and the tree carefully drawn over so
as to cut whatever taproot may have
been left.
If supply of bass mats is at hand
they can be carefully bound around
the ball of earth, and if it is not too
large it can be loaded on a drag and
drawn to the place of planting where
the hole has been prepared beforehand
If too large for a drag the ball of
earth may be surrounded by boards OF
layers of hay and straw firmly bound
with cords, a few boards passing I'M
derneath, and the whole fastened .to
the stem, which should be well wrap
ped with hay or wooden material before
any force for lifting is applied. It
can then be raised with the use of a
derrick onto a truck and taken to the
desired place, lowered into the hole, the
binding taken off, the roots carefully
spread and the soil well worked il
among them and well firmed.
Large trees can also be transplanted
by digging around them in winter and
allowing the earth around them to bt
frozen solid, having the ground prepar
ed previously and covered with coarse
material to keep out the frost, and re
moving them on a sled to their designa
ton.

! THE NEOLITHIC MAN. :

There was once a Neolithic Man,
An enterprising weight,
Who made his chopping implement
Unusually bright;
Unusually clever, he,
Unusually brave,
And he drew delightful mammoths
On the borders of his cave.
To his Neolithic neighhors,
Who were startled and surprised,
Said he, My friends, in course of
time,
We shall all be civilized
We are going to live in cities!
We are going to fight in wars!
We are going to eat three times day
Without natural causel
eve are going to turn life upside
About thing called gold;
We are going to want the earth, and
take
AS much as we can hold;
We are going to wear great piles of
stuff,
Outside our proper skins;
We are going to have diseases,
And accomplishments, and sins!"
Then they all rose up in fury
Against their boastful friend;
For prehistoric patience
Cometh quickly to an end.
Said one, This is ehimerieal!
Utopian! Absurdi'
Said another, s'What stupid life!
Too dull, upon my word!'
Cried all, Before such things can
come,

You must alter human nature
