The loss of lifo and hc destruction of iroierty have in many -n-o bcn :ippllinjr. Houses and struc tures oin-idered fireproof have been swal lowed up and whole families blotted out jf exigence. In some t-a-cs wheroa state ly edifice has delighted the eye hardly one HEKOIC IUCU 15V .MEANS OF A SCALING LAllllhU. stone is left upon another. The question of what to do in case of flro is brought I home to every person. Suppose yuii are a guest m a hotel and you aro awakened suddenly by tho cry of fire. The first thing a hotel guest should tfo on entering his room is to locate the nearest outside fire escape. After that ho should familiarize himself with the loca tion of the hall wiudowsand discover their relation to the roof of-thoadjoiningbuild-ings. He should next learn tho position of tho stairs and their top and bottom landings. The top landing particularly ho should know all about, as well as tho method of egress to tl.o roof. All this in formation tho guest can acquire in ton minutes or ier-s. After making these- in vestigations, should a fire break out, ho knows his relative location and his vari ous avenues of escape. Hero aro some rules which are good toe niember, and somo dayor night they might save your life: Should tho cry of firo be given and volumes of smoke fill tho corri dors and tho room, tho thing above all others to do is to keep cool. Keep cool, kcop coo, keep cool, no matter how seri ous the fire seems, is good advice. When smoke clogs the corridors, follow theso instructions: 1. Keep tho door and transom of the room shut. 2. Open tho windows from tho top. 3. Wet n towel and stuff it in tho mouth. Breathe through it instead of through tho nose. It will keep tho smoke, cinders and firo from tho lungs, and its moisture will have a revivifying effect. 1. Stand at tho window and got tho benefit of the outsido air. 5. Should then bo a rope fire escape, use it only whoa you deem it necessary for your safety. If it is secured, as many of them are, merely by an iron hook, twist it several times around some 6olid article in tho room. Then begin your descent. " It Is a dangerous experiment at best; and there is only one safo way of doing it. That way is this: Protect the bands by covering them with towels or anything "of . liko nature. Grasp the Topo firmly by both hands, twist it once around the right leg then, placing it between the feet, keep them firmly together, and in that position slide down the rope ns slowly as possible. A woman should go down the rope in tho same way. In the averago caso her clothes will permit her to make an easier descent lhan a man. 6. If possible, never let n woman or child descend on a rope alone Tho bus band should secure tho ropa under his wife's arms, place soin'o article of furni ture higher than tho window sill near the window, and then let tho woman de scend by paying out tho rope gradually. If tho child is small, it is well to tio it with bedclothin -o the breast or back of the person going down the ropo. 7. Never jumpunlessthoblazoisscorch ing and not then if tho'firemen with their scaling ladders are coming up tho build ing or aro near. 8. Xever go to the roof unless as a Inst recourse, whrn ybu know that there is no escape from it to adjoining buildings. In the big buildings fire always climbs to thB top. 9. If caught in a corridor or a room, always keep crouched to the floor and keep close to.thc wall. Keep as 'ow ea possible. Firo and sinoVs nscen-' 10. If a'jump must bo - mado through fiamo within a building to tho lower floor, judgo the distanco as carefully as possiblo, throw a blanket or covering over the head and make the leap. Then remove the cov ering, breathe but littlo aud carefully,and work gradually along tho corridor until safety is reached. Another thing not to forget is when tho men in bluo aro in sight, don't jump. They'll climb walls and go through smoKo and iirc. Their mission is to save life7 and they'd rather dlo themselves than fail in thoir duty. If by any possibility they can't reach a window or a roof, they'll spread tho lifo net at f ho base and be ready to reccivo the jumper. In private housed, if care- is exercised, the dancer of fire can bo very crcatlv less- t ir "mm enod. Ono precaution not above tbe abil ity of tbe ordinary householder is in sec .lng that the lumps are properly lit and actually extinguished; that the kitchen, f'trnace and open grate fires need no watch, and that all the doors throughout the house are closed before retiring. Every house should have a rear Maircae, and a convenient and practical outlet to the roof is also a condition that makes for safety. A careful attention to the house fires and the lamps prevents lire during the night, while the shutting of the doors prevents the rapid spread of the flames and the outlet to the roof gives a chance of escape. Above all, the construction of the flues should be Iieyohd all suspicion. With the flues in safe condition and with nightly precautions exercised by house holder and servants fires in private residence-, should easily become the exception lioth in the matter of frequency of occur rence and fatality. As the Paris expert says, what is chiefly- to be nought after is ' the gaining of time lietwcen the first out break and the dangerous -pread of the Hamo-. If the simpler precautions will effect till, they should not be overlooked, for, as no radical change- in liouso con btruction or home life can bo expected, it is upon.riic-o precaution we must depcud , to stave life and protect propel ty. It is probable that in the future there Will be fewer fires occurring. Fireproof l frameworks, cement for the Uoors, slow burning construction and like precautions against flro arc today the rule in oflico buildings, stores and factories When ono of these burns up, it will nearly al ways Ik) found that it was built over 20 years ago and had none of the modern safeguards against fire. Private houses should be built with all of the latest fire proof appliances. some houses liavo thec precautions. Cement floors and steel beams h.io been introduced into sonic dwellings, but even in these houses the stairs are generally wood. In general, houses are built ns they always were, but, if anything, less safely. The joists and beams are lighter, though the walls nro thicker. The windows are bigger and less well protected by shutters. The doors and other openings are larger. The staircases are roomier. The interior finish of oiled wood is more inflammablo than plaster, though nothing could bo worse than' the lath and plaster of 30 years ago. The heat is more widely dis tributed, evener and the house tighter; so that all gets drier. Our severe climate keeps fires higher and the houses drier. Where in England the outer woodwork is damp more than three-quarters of the time with slow rain, hero two-thirds of the time tho outer air is dry Wood, also, is cheap and plentiful, and tho American dislikes a stono or iron staircase or stone or brick chimney fronts.

T3uilt as many of our houses are, the wonder is not that they burn, but that so many escape. For this reason, if a fire visit us suddenly, 'like the thief in the night, let no ono be unprepared. LAND OF OMAR KHAYYAM. A Country Likely to Come Into Greater Importance. It is probable that tho American re spects Persia for only two things its carpets and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Beyond these two there is little known of the country save that it was once ruled by Darins, Cyrus and Series, and that Babylon and Nineveh were once its chief cities. But tbe Brit ish foreign offics aud the Russian min ister of foreign affairs know that the land has been a bone of contention be tween the two countries for upward of a hundred years 'and that the time is rapidly approaching when it must be divided, go that the Persian problem may be removed from the diplomatic arena. It ii currently reportel that tho ap pointment of Lord Curzon to the vice, royalty of India was because of his great familiarity with the Persian ques tion. No wan in England is better fit ted to deal with the proposed partition of tho shah's domain than he, for hia long residence at Teheran and his sub sequent studies of the question have mado him absolute master of its small est details. Tho proposal is to divide tho country by a rough lino rnnning east and west through the center, giv ing the northern section to Russia and adding tho southern half to India. As matters stand now. Persia is go ing from bad to worse. She has no laws, save thoee imposed by the power ful; no justice, save that which is pur chasable; no state treasury, savo the ehah's private pnrso, and no enterprise, save that which is Russian or English.

The movement for the release of the Younger brothers from the Minnesota prnitelltiiiry brings up thoir sensational career. PuijOe who renieinlH-r Cole Youn ger as a guerrilla and outlaw during the civil war remciiibor alsi that he was a Confederate, and "ct lii- f.itlier, Colonel Henry Younger. a- in heart and deed a stanch Union man.

He wa bluff, gener ous and outspoken. His loyalty to tho government at Wa.-hington was well un derstood and never doubted. His wife was a devoutly Christian woniiiii, the mother of 14 children nnd intciisely de voted to them and to her husband. At this day it is difficult tn realize tho mo tives which actuated tlm-e hurtles of hu man vultures which, in the name of law and unity, plundered the border farms of. Missouri, coming with torch ami gun into "Mis--ouri from the adjacent i-ounties of Kansas and iiinviueKidlug as loyal sol diers wli.i!e they ile.ilt in midnight rapine and cowardly. asasiiiaticm. The liiurdi-r nf Coluiiel Younger by biit-h a gang is what changed the whole )i'Osi)cct of life for his suns, tho now no torious Younger hoy, and drove them from their peaceful life upon the farm to the bloody careers which began with Quantrell's dashing mid- and ended with the assault and robbery of the Xorthticld Hmk in Minnesota in 1M7.S. In tho early days of their life as guerrillas the Younger hoys were prompted, in a measure, by the natural desire to avenge the cowardly as sassination of their father, lint when tho war was over and they returned to their dismantled homes, willing to lay down tho sword and gun, they wero not pi-rmit-ted to do so. They were shot at as they plowed in thu fields, their mother's homo was burned, their crops were scatteied, detectives hounded tlu'in, the world would not forgive them, and litialrr they wero driven again into a lifo of reckless out lawry. "On one of .Teniiison's periodical' raids in th j fall of ISC'.'," says Colonel John X. Iltlwai-ds In Iil-r "Xuted Guerrilla-," "ho sucked and burned llarrisunville. Colonel Younger, although a stanch Union man and known to bo such, was mado to lose heavily. Jeniiison and his officers tho officers on all occasions Ix'ing moto rapa cious than tho privarcj took from him $4,000 worth of buggies, carriages and hacks and 10 head of blooded horses, worth at a low averago $300 apiece. Then tho balance of his property that win perish able nnd-yet not movable was burned. Tho intention was also to kill Colonel Younger npou the principle that dead men could tell no tales, but ho escaped with difficulty and mado his way into In dependence. Spies were on hi- track. In that reign of hato and frenzy along he border men wero as often murdered for money as for patriotism. Jcnnison was told that Younger was rich and that ho invariably carried with him largo sums of money. A plan was formed immediitely to kill him. Twenty cutthroats wero or ganized into n band under a Jayhawker named "iVhalley and set to watch his every movement. They dogged him to Inde pendence, from Independence to Kansas City aud from Kansas City down into Cass county again. Coming upon him at last- in an isolated place and within a few miles of Hnrrisonvillc, they riddled his iiody, rilled his pockets and left tho corpse stark and partly stripped by tho roadside. "Tho fire aud torment of persecution did not end here.

Not yet done with him, tho mob wounded him with sticks, beat him across tho shoulders with the butts of muskets, tormented him as only devils could and finally released him, half dead, to return to his broken hearted mother." There is no reason to doubt that when the civil war was over aud Cole ami James Younger returned from California to their devastated farm in Jackson county, Mo., they intended to settle down peacefully anil lelmild their mother's home; but men along the borders of Kan.-as and Miouri who had felt tho strong hand of Quan tivli's guerrillas would not suffer the Younger- to live in peine. K cry crime that was committed, every hoii-so that was burned, every horse that was stolen, was added to the long score against the broth- ers. During this period Cole, James aud .lohu Younger remained steadily at home. They dared not light their lamps at night, but in the daytime they chopped trees, built a houso for their mother, made fences nnd toiled like their pioneer fore fathers had dono beforo them. Skulking, -elf appointed vigilance men shot at them from ambush, their crops were burned in tho night, and anonymous letters warning them to leave the country camo to them frequenlly.. Unable to mako any headway against such ob-taelcs to their peace, filially the Y (-lingers quit their vain toil and entered upon the careor of lawlessness which end ed in tho Minnesota penitentiary.

The tribunal of Modiea, in the Sicilian provineo of Syracuse has just pronounced i sentence which is declared to have no parallel in tho judicial annals of Italy, as" it has probably few in thoso of any other rarontry. A man named I.upo Salvatore of Couiiso, had passed himself off as an advocate nnd had with consummate skill committed 63 diffeicnt acts of serious fraud, in which he succeeded in using tho machinery of the law. Ho Iiad forged tho signatures of tho president and judges of tho high court, of tho king's procurator and of tho chancellor of tho court. From this'hist mentioned official he hud even, with splendid audacity, stolen for a short tiino tho seal of tho chancery, which ho needed to" give effect, to his fraudulent documents. The sentenco is even more re luurknblo than arc the crimes. Salvatoro was csndcmnud to three years' imprison ment on each of tho C3 cases, which brings the total of tho sentence to 189 years, though tho. longest incarceration which the convict can bo legally made to under go is 30 years.

A young second lieutenant, who had been gradnat'.'d from the first clas? a couple of mrnths before the regular graduation at'West Point, had jnst join ed his regiment in Cnba and was walk ing' down the street near the palace, in Havana. He stopped on the corner, and as he did so an old grizzled soldier with a growth ot beard on his face and with a cavalry sergeant's Ktripo on his breeches, a blue shirt and a campaign bat, but with no "other mark of rank about his uniform except his sergeant's stripe, walked slowly down and stopped in front of the lieutenant, looking aronnd at the different buildings. The young officer fidgeted a few moments under the manner in which the trooper ignored his proximity, and finally turn ed on him and said sharply, "Here, yon man, did any one ever teach you Low to salute?" "Yes, sir," drawled the trooper, as he glanced, at the youngster. "Well, knock your heels together," said tho young officer, and the trooper came to attention with tho precision of i n old soldier. "Now salute," lie said, nnd the troop er's gauntlet came to the rim of his hat and staid there until the young lieuten ant answered it, at tho same time de manding: "Now, remember this, and don't let it happen again What is your name, aud what do you belong to 7" 'Without relaxing his position from attention, the old trooper again respect fully saluted and remarked dryly "My name is Samnel Snnmer, and I'm brig adier general of the cavalry brigade;" whereupon tho yonug lieutenant pro ceeded to copy 11s ninny colors of the rainbow with his face as was pos-dhlo and slipped away ns soon as hu dared, forgetting even to apologize.
