That It what 1 think every night In
Bppor Broadway, There youll toe a
icore or two of men coming out of xu
perboated theater between the act to
ttaod in unprotected full dres around
the cold and drnfty lobbiei or out on
the Ridewalk for a chut or a smoke
Youll tee them at the Madison Square
garden square acre of whito shirt
front sitting for hour in an atmos
phere luggestive of overcoats. They
pour out of clubhouse and hot restau
rant at all time of the night, often in
a dripping perspiration from exercise
and with careless or no provision aguiust
the evils of a sudden change of tempera
ture. You can meet them on Broad
way with topcoats thrown wide open
and the chest exposed from necktio to
waistband.
Yet It i only now ond then that we
know of a man who wn out around
town in apparently good health the dny
before yesterday who is a corpse today,
There are more than a thousand men
taking such desperate risks every night
during the fashionable season in New
York.
If yon were to tell one of these Hint
he was running a greater risk of sudden
death than if he were going into the
heat of an ordinary battle, he would
probably laugh at yon. Yet it would
be the solemn truth.
If he were a soldier going into action
it would be with blanched face and
trembling knees und silont prayer,
whereas it is now with cnrelesH mien
and flippant tongue and spirited devil
try that he dares the awful specter of
death.
If be were confined to his room with a
mortal disease he wonld be surrounded
by his sorrowing family and anxious
friends, and his will would have been
made nnd duly witnessed. But being
blessed with reasonable health and man
ly strength and the sublime confidence
of ignorance, he plunges into the danger
without a thought on his part or a qualin
of conscience on their part.
Lungs are not made of chilled steel.
Yet it is wonderful what they are daily
and nightly subjected to, and how much
they will stand sometimes. You must
often feel that they really are practically
indestructible, they are put to such se
vere tests and with so little concern.
Pondering upon this, the f.ices of

A Waterloo Vataran.
On Sept. 87, 1892, General Karl Fried
rich Hnller, of the Hanoverian army,
died at Hanover in his ninety-seventh
year. The deceased .general wax present
on the 16th, 17th and 18th of October,
181. at the famous "Battle of the Na
tions," an engagement that cost Na
poleon 78,000 men. 00 cannon and 1,000
standards.
Karl Friedrich Mailer was present at
Qnatre Bras on the 10th and at Water
loom the 18th of Jane, 1815. After the
victory he marched with his battery of
artillery to Paris and remained in the
French capital during the whole period
of occupation by the allied armies. Karl
Mnller, who began bis military career at
fifteen, was never woundrl and rose to
the rank of a general in the Hanoverian
service.
He retired on u fiension not long be
fore .the overthrow of his sovereign, with
whose misfortunes he sympathized, and
to whose cause he remained strongly at
tached. On Sept 40, iu presence of
vast concourse of people, this distin
guished man was buried with full mili
tary honors, and he identical colors
carried by the brave Hanoverians at
Waterloo were unfurled around his
grave. Notes and Queries.

"I can tell you of one danger that is
generally overlooked," said a friend,
'and that is in letting inflammatory sub
stances fall through the register. The
other day I had a case of china unpacked
in the dining room. The box was filled
with 'excelsior' packing, and after the
dishes had been taken out I told the
maid to clear np the litter on the flour
A little later 1 came into the room and
smelled a strong odarof burning. It was
a very oold Iay , and there was a hot fire
in the furnace, and at the smell seemed
to come from the regiater I lifted it en
tirely out and stuck a bent poker as far
down the pipe as I could reach. With
a lot of dust and rubbish I brought np a
quantity of excelsior shavings which
were distinctly scorched by the heat. It
was the first time that I had ever thought
of the danger of 'sweepings' connected
with the open registers." New York
Tribune.
A London Idea.
In certain London restaurants each
customer is allowed to make his (or her)
own tea. The waitress lights the gas
bnrner, which is affixed to each table
and sett thereon a silver kettle. Then
the presents to the teamaker a silver
caddy divided into compartments and
offering a choice of Souchong, Ceylon or
freen tea. Any one who is compelled to
rink the lukewarm stuff called tea at
restaurant will appreciate the new idea,

This fair of ours, in its general Aspect
and judged from the nrtintic point of
view, is not only much more successful
than two years ngo we believed It could
be it is much more successful than any
that has ever been created in thisor anoth

beautiful Paris exhibition of 1880, and
not only equal to it It is greatly supe
rior. And it sexcellence is not nn imita
tion or even an adaptation of any prec
edent, but has been achieved upon en
tirely new and original lines. It is per
fectly certain that every one who goc
to Chicago next summer will be aston
ished, no matter how much he may have
heard and believed in advance; and it if
just as certnin that he will bo charmed,
no matter how good or how captions his
taste may be.
Only those who know how Intril it is tc
produce a high degree of benuty on a
vast scale and In complicated ways will
fully appreciate what they see at Chica

The sum of 50,000 murks (1'2,000) which
the German emperor has just presented
to tho German Hociety for the Promotion
of Aerial Navigation for the advance
ment of this scienco is to lio devoted to
the construction and equipment of a
giant balloon. This balloon will lie as
high as a four storied house, will be fifty
six feet In diameter and it will contain
no less than 2.B30 cubic meters of gas.
It will be made of Egyptian cotton stuff,
and will lie coated with vulcanized gum,
which is considered bettor than varnish.
A rather interesting feature of the bal
loon will be the provision of a special
valve of a new kind, which will keep the
gas pure for a longer time, and therefore
sustain the mlloon for a longer jieriod.
It Is proposed to mnko within a year no
less than fifty journeys with the bal
loon and to ascend as high as possible,
np to 83,000 feet if necessary, with arti
ficial respiration. Over 400 will be ex
pended in purchasing scientific apparatus
for this balloon. Experiments will, if
possible, be simultaneously made with
two other balloons to further investi
gate the physical conditions of tho at

Tho Queen's Rtatoary at 111 moral.
Her majesty proposes to plane a statue
of the Emperor Frederick in the grounds
of Balmoral, which are crammed with
memorials of the queen's deceased rela
tives and friends, while every hilltop In
tbe neighborhood bears a cairn. There
are only three statues one the prince
consort, by Theed (representing him in
highland dress); the jubilee statue of
the queen, which was presented to her
by her Scottish tenantry and servants;
and a statue of John Brown, by Boehm,
which occupies a conspicuous position
on a wooded bank near the garden.
Princess Alice is commemorated by a
Celtic cross of granite, and the Duke of
Albany by a seat of polished granite.
The memory of Sir Thomas Biddulph is
recalled by a granite fountain. The
bronze statue of tho prince consort in
the grounds is an exact copy of his white
marble statue in the corridor of the cas

Bad for tho Doctor.
"No, sir," said a prominent iftysician
recently; "I'm not getting anything like
the amount of work that I ought to have
at this time of year. Bless dm, I had
only one now case all of last week. The
reason? Why, cholera, of course. The
big cities are in better condition now
than they have been in years probably
better than they ever were. Old cess
pools and vaults have been closed up,
sewers cleaned, cellars dried and white
washed and plumbing overhauled, and
that has knocked out the usual crop of
diphtheria and typhoid disordors. Then,
people bocuine more careful in their eat
ing and living than they hod been before
the Normannia got in, and the result of
it all is that they have stopped getting ill
and sending for physicians. The cholera
was a splendid thing for the cities, but I
toll you it has been rough on us doctors I"

Baying nod Selling- a Blind Man.
A queer business transaction has just
come to light in Paris. A man was ar
rested for buying a blind man. It seem
that the first ownor of tho blind man se
cured him from an asylum and used to
lead him along in front of the cafes to
beg. The venture was not a financial
success, so he sold his blind man to an
other speculator, who was soon disgust
ed. The unfortunate man was deserted
on the streets by his purchaser, and lu
that way the police became acquainted
with the peculiar transaction, Ex

Tho First Sleeping Cur.
No single thing has contributed more
to the comfort of modern life than th
Pullman car. Its' inventor, George A!
Pullman, worked out the details of hi
invention while a merchant in Colorad
in 1859. In 1884 he curried his idea ti
Chicago and employed a master car
builder of the Alton road at a salary of
flOOa month to superintend the con
struction of a model car. The inventor
was determined that it should be the
handsomest car in all respects that had
ever been made in the country. He
came on to New York and here hap
pened to meet the artist who had just
decorated the house of Samuel J. Til
den. Ho at once closed with this artist,
took hira west and set him at work dec
orating the car.
When tho Pioneer was finished it had
cost the extraordinary sum of f 18,000, a
large price even now for a sleeping car.
It was a wonder to everybody. It was
just as Mr. Pullman had expected. The
beauty of the finish and the marvelous
innovation he had made were advertised
far ond near by the newspapers and by
railroad men, and some of the latter be
gan to believe that the ideas of the in
ventor after all were practicable. New

A Suit of Wllklo Collin." tlclhe.
The tweed suit that Wllltle Collins
purchased in Philadelphia as he passed
through the city so many years ago it
still here. The novelist by accident
ruined one that he brought over with
him by spilling broth over it and stepped
across Chestnut street to invest in a
new one before returning to his hotel.
Collins instructed the tailor to send the
spoiled one to his rooms, and when he
gave bis name the clothier said, "Are
yon the anthorof 'No Name' and 'Arma
dale? " Wilkie had to own up, and tlit
tailor was overcome with pleasure, an
nouncing that he was the most sincere
admirer of Collins in America. Un
fortunately the suit was not a good fit,
but the novelist had too much delicacy
to acquaint his sincere admirer with the
fact. So the garments were relegated
to George H. Boker's attic, where they
remained over a generation. Philadel

AN' ANfjRY' INSPECtOR.
Mr, tlelan Hunt' Experience In a NnHin
In Copenhagen.
One of the light of Copenhagen is the
Rosenborg castle collection, officially
known as the "Chronological Collection
of the Kings of Denmark." When Mr.
Holen Hunt went to ses it she bought
"full ticket," so as to insure the entire
attention of the museum inspector. He
was a handsome man, fifty years old or
more, and when he began to speak Eng
lish the visitor' delight was unbounded.
What an afternoon she fhould have!
"I am soTy," she said, "that we have so
short a time In which to see these beau
tiful and interesting collections. Two
hours 1 nothing!" "Oh, I shall explain
to you everything," he said, and he pro
ceeded to throw open the doors of mys
terious wall closets. S.iy Mrs. Hunt:
Tho first thing he pointed out to me
was the famous Oldenborg horn, said to
have been given to Count Otto of Olden
borg by a mountain nymph in a forest
one day In the year 000. As he pointed
to it I opened my catalogue to find' the
place wliere it was mentioned, that 1
might make on the margin some notes
of points that 1 wished to recollect. 1
might have been looking at it for per
haps half a minute when thundering
from the mouth of my splendid Dane
came:
"Do yon prefer that yon read it In the
catalogue than that I tell you?"
1 am not sure, but my impression is
1 actually jumped at his tone. 1 know
I was frightened. 1 explained to him
that I was not looking for it in the cata
logue to read then and there, but only
to associate whnt 1 saw with its place
and with the illustrations In the cata
logue, and to make notes for future use.
He hardly heard a word I said. Putting
out his hand and waving my poor cata
logue away, he said:
"It is all there. You shull find every
thing there as I tell you. Will yon lis
ten?" Quite cowed, 1 tried to listen, but 1
found that without my marginal notes
I should remember nothing. 1 opened
my catalogue again. The very sight of
it seemed to act upon him like a scarlet
flag on a bull.
Instantly he burst out upon me again.
In vain I tried to stem the tide of hi
angry words, and the angrier he got the
less intelligible became his English.
"Perhaps you take me for a servant in
this museum," he said. "Perhaps my
name is as good in my country as yours
is in your own!"
"Oh, do do listen to me one minute!"
1 said. "If yon will only hear me 1
think I can make yon understand. I do
implore yon not to be angry."
"1 am not angry. I have listened to
yon every time too many times. I have
not time to listen any more."
This he said so angrily that I felt the
tears coining into my eyes. 1 was in de
spair. I turned to Harriet and said,
"Very well, Harriet, we will go."
"You shall not go I" he exclaimed.
"Twenty years 1 have shown this Bin
tenm and never yet was any one before
dissatisfied with what 1 tell them. I
have myself written this catalogue you
carry. Now I will nothing say, and yuu
can ask if yon wish I should explain any
thing." He folded his arms and stepped back,
the very image of a splendid man in n
sulk. 1 hesitated what to do, but at last
I gulped down my wounded feelings aud
went on looking and making notes.
Presently he began to cool down, to
see his mistake. In less than half an hour
he had ceased to be hostile, and before
the end of the hour he hud become friend
ly, and more. He seized both my hands
in his, exclaiming:
"We shall be good friends good! You
must come again to Rosenborg; yo i
must see it all. I will myself show yuu
very room. No matter who sends to
come in, they shull not be admitted. I
go alone with you."
Clara Jane' Hardworking lien.
Clara Jane Edwards has placed on our
table two large hen eggs. They are
about the size of turkey eggs. Clara
Jane says that the hen that laid 'em has
laid two of this size every day for the
last four years, bnt has now gone to set
tin. The eggs have been broken in the
frying pan and they have each two yolks.
A little calculation will show that this
is nearly 8,000 eggs in the space of fonr
years from one hen, equal to 12,000 com
mon sized hen eggs. Stewart County

Mr, Huntington's Two lloune. '
The recent purchase by Mr. C. P.
Huntington of Mrs. Colton's costly man
sion on Nob hill, in Sun Francisco, has
given rise to minors that Mr. Hunting
ton and his family intended to make the
California metropolis their permanent
place of residence. A report has also
been freely circulated that Mr. Hunting
ton had offered his new house, at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-seventh street, for sale.
These reports, with gossipy elaborations,
have been the talk of certain clubs and
cafes for the past few weeks, and the
names of two or three millionaires have
been named as the probable purchasers
of tho unfinished Huntington palace lu
this city. When Mr. Huntington's at
tention was called to the manner in
which Dame Rumor was dealing with his
affairs, he authorized a denial of the re
port that he contemplated going to San
Francisco to live.
He proposes to stay right here, and
when his new house is completed he will
move into It. There has been no inten
tion on his part to sell tho place. Mr.
Huntington bought the Colton house in
San Francisco because ho is obliged to
spend several weeks each year in Cali
fornia, nnd he is not particularly fond of
hotel lifo. He thinks that he can afford
to maintain two residences one in New
York and one in San Francisco. Now

Kspenne of the Peary Expedition.
The total expenso of tho Peary and tho
Peary relief expeditions was within $23,
000, or, approximately, within one-tenth
of the amount that was involved in the
ver much less Successful British north
pole expedition of 1875-6, and barely
more thnn one-fortieth of the expenso of
the Austro-Hnngarian expedition under
Payer and Weyprecht of 1873-4.
The contributions of knowledge ob
tained in either one of the departments
of geography or ethnology alono can
rationally lie considered to repay tho
moderate outlay of these two expedi
tions, a cost considerably below th.-t
which in modem times is sometimes paid
for a painting.
It is Interesting to place here by way
of comparison the cost of previous ex
plorations. ' Ono of the earliest that of
Willoughby conducted 800 years ago,
required for its expenditure 0,000; that
of Moor, In 1746, 10,000; tho second
German north pole expedition was cov
ered by an appropiation of 120,000 thalers,
or 11,000, while the Franklin expedi
tion and the various ones sent out to as
certain his fato to 1R54 cost 8.13,833, 01

A (jas Well tlryond Control.
What is undoubtedly tho strongest
natural gas well ever fonnd in the In
diana lielt is a roaring monster north of
Mnncie, Ind., which cannot be gotten
under control, A few days since Wal
ley Se Spellocy, contractors, drilled in K
well on the Spilker farm. Next day it
was discovered that the pressure hod
raised to an enormous degree, and it has
since increased until it has become im
possible to anchor the well or do any
thing with it. ft is Impossible to force
a sledge hammer, crowbar or anything
into the holo, and the gat roars nntil a
man's voice cannot be heard within sev
eral hundred yards of the well. The
earth trembles in a frightful manner.
A great deal of fright is entertained as
to what the result will be. Tbe well is
estimated at over 10,000,000 feet, and
the apparatus used to anchor the mon
ster Jumbo well at Fairmount is useless. .
Great caution is being used to prevent .
the gas from becoming ignited. Cor..

Found a Little Fortune In a Tree.
George Jones, a woodchoppor, engaged
In trimming sycamore trees in tb center

two shining objects. He climbed higher '
and found them to be tin cans of great -weight.
He secured them, brought them
to the ground and on opening then
fonnd that they contained gold piece.
The contents amounted to $1 ,900. Jones,
though a poor daily laborer, was not
tempted by the glittering heap, but
brought the treasure to the bank at San

can be rowed, will be need for practic
