At 7 o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the basement or Secretary Tracy's
residence, on I between Seventeenth

uppci iloois. Tho family were nslccp,
and their escapo was cut off before the
terrified servants could awaken them.
Mis. Trncy, whoso chamber is in
the lenr of tho house, was
invakcncd by the noise made by tho
scivnnts, who railed to her from tho
alley running along tho back of tiio
house, Sua ran to tho window, and
seeing tho smoko rolling out from the
lower windows leaped to the nlloy and
was ciushcd horribly on the lough
locks with which it is paved. She was
lifted by lender hands and hunicd into
the rcsideno of Mr. llhccm on Eigh

In the meantime a gcnci.il alarm had
been turned in and every engine in the

Tho suggestion, writes Alio Bates in
the February "Hook Buyer," that atito

sci ecus reminds mo of an nwkwaid re
sult which might como lrom that cus
tom, a4 illustrated by nn incident that
happened in Boston not so very long
ago. A young literary man got into a
mock sentimental correspondence with
mi unknown and for somo tinio wrote
hei bits of humor and sentiment, with
now and then a scrap of verso to her
eyebrow or otherwise, as ono would
rhyme a fair unseen.
Ho enjoyed tho correspondence in tho
half serious and half mocking way
naluial under the circumstances, until
one day, in looking over tho collection
of autographs of a friend, ho camo to
one of his epistles to the unknown.
"Whero did you got that?" ho asked.
"That? Oh, that I bought for ton
cents at Blauk's. Ho had several of
them, aud I bought it just for tho fun."
The result of an investigation, judi
ciously conducted, was to bring to light
the fact that tho unknown fair ono was
nn autograph collector of tho mascultuo
persuasion, who had started upon his
correspondence with a view to enrich
ing his collection, aud had been Induced
to keep on by tho double advantago of
the amusement ho got out of it and tho

Dr. Itheeni said: "I was awakened by
tho most fearful screams piocccdtna:
from Sccrctaiy Tracy's house. I ran
to my third story window nnd witnessol
a fearful sight. Clinging to tho edge of
tho window-sill of thu second story was
Mis. Tracy. She was in her night
clothes. Tho sinokc was pouting out
of the window behind her.
"Suddenly sho let go her hold nnd

In a few minutes thcro was a shout,
a clatter of feet and a squad of fircrrcn
beating a ladder rushed down tho al

short. Then nuothei was raised and
tho woman biotight down and into this
house. Sho was the German cook."
In the meanttniosonicmcuhad picked
up Mrs. Tracy and bore her into Dr
Ithecm's house. At tho siine

As more gold camo out of the gulch,

w as pointed out to new-comers as an

Tho test of the gulch was washed out

ho was a laro good shot. Ho made his

he saw it was more lead than iron. Ho

up and Impovciished his placer. Ho
melted somo of it. It-mado a blighter,

iconic vagatioud-iprintcis came into
thu place flvo ycais after Oio had be
romo a memory, stayed in Benton's
cabin awhile, and then built a dug-out
across tho gulch. Thoy had in that
Liief time found :i quart mine, out of
which gold was afterwaids taken by
tho hatful. Tho company that bought

it men wcro put to work; $9,500,000
were mined; the vein gavo out, and tho

Then a man, wealing gold-iimmcd
spectacles and a vory humble air,
stumbled into Benton's hcimltage. He
saw tho blight bullets, the odd lcfuso in

ton was amused to think his queer vis

man called tho mineral carbonates and
said it would bo valuablo in time.
Benton still thought it only fit for bul

Soon thoro was not a patch of ground
unclaimed for miles aro'und, and soon
this becaiuo knowu tho world over as
tho wonder of bonnn7as.
Hundreds of men, sti angers to tho

by tho turning over of n fow shovelfuls

The Peisinn Philosophical Itilo was
n system of Masonry which oiiglnalcd
iu Pails in the ycai 18Jr. It met, how
ever, with but slight encouingcmcnl
and lias long since ceand to cist.
Very little, if anything, is known of its
lilunl, and it Is a question whether Iho
thioc symbolic degrees were cssoullal to
tho members of the system, or if they
wcro included in the fantastic titles
which dignified the seven deirieos of
the lite.
Older of Chailes XI1I. is an order of
hiiichlhood instituted by Charles XIII.,
King of Sweden, May "li, 1811, as an
encouragement and rowaid for social
ami benevolent eiloits to tlio advan
tages of the people. The order is Only
eligible to racmbcis of the Masonic fia
tcrnity of Sweden who havo ntlaincil a
high tank therein. The King of Swe
den is perpetual Giond Master and the
number of knights is limited to thirty,
twenty seven ot whom must bo hiymcii,

The Kite of Memphis, sometimes
called thoOiiental Kilo, lias a somewhat
peculiar history, it hav tng been founded
by Jacques Etlcnno Marconis, who was
twice expelled from the Klto of Mis
raiu, aftei having, however, attained
the ii.ty-sltli degree. In 18US he
founded a lodge at l'.uts under the
title of "Disciples of Memphis," and la
ltrl'ii, with the aid of E. A. Montct, cs
tablishcd a grand lodgo, "Osiris." Tho
system was n modification of the Klto or
.Misrnln, and a bitter enmity prevailed
between the two. Tho latter, however,
wero the more pouciful politically, aud
at their instanco tho police closed tho
lodges of the Memphis Klto upon two
occasions in 1818, and again in 1831. In
11:02 tho lite was rce'ognicd by tho
Grand Oiicnt of Fiance, but became al
most otinct. the last two lodges cm
biaciug the French Klto In ISfiS. The
system extended to Anieilia, and was
inaugurated in tills country about 1817
at Xew Yoik.
The Kile of Mopses ivas founded in
1T10 iu Gcimatiy, and, according to
McCoy, originated lu tlio following
manner: Popo Clement XII, having
issued n bull against the Free Mason's
in 111)8, tho people wore nlaimcd,
nml, hesitating to join a society which
had been thus pioscilbcd, "foimed
another on tho kuuo pilnclpal, which
would nffoid thrm equal giatlflcation,
without subjecting them to the Hum
dcis of tho Vatican. Fieo Masonry
was tlio model, with pretentions of do
votion to tho Pupal hleraieiiy, and
thus, under tho assumed appellation,
they evaded the Papal denunciation.
Somo of tho most illustrious peisonagcs
in Germany countenanced anil otenucd
their patronage to tho schemo; many of
tho princes of tho Empire becamo its
grand masters. In 1770 this oiganla

Many lcmnrkable instances may also

Dr. Chuilcn of Chester, England,
held nn inquest at Xantwlch work

an aged inmate. Tho evidence showed
that Bcrrlngton ato a hearty Christmas
dinner, and next mcining was found
dead iu bed. In reply to tlio coroner
tbo master of tho workhouso stated
that tho guardians had passed n speciul
resolution refusing beer or other alco
holic stimulants to tho inmates on
Chilstmas Day.
The coroner said it wns quite un
necessary to ptirsuo the Inquiry further.
For reasons best known to themselves
the guardians had depaited fiom the
usual nriaugemctit allowing beer to the
Christinas dinner.
His own impression was that instead
of doing harm, n littlo alcoholic stlmii
inutvvas beneficial in assisting to get
lid of n heavy meal. In his experience
he had kuown many mistukes made by
persons who held extreme views on the
use of stimulants. What were the good
thlugs of earth sent for unless to bo en
joyed in moderation?
Did they mean to tell him that n glass
of wlno or beer would hurt nny llv lnsr
man ? Certainly not. In fact, stimu
lants, he knew from a very long oxpeti
onco, had been tho means ol saving
thousands of lives. Thoy were espe
cially beneficial In cases of weak action

He remembered a caso in Nnntwloh

had filled tho stomach, pressed upon
the heart and prevented nu upwnid liow
