WHY NERO BURNT ROME.
[continued from page two.]
Nero was cunning as well as method
ical. He owned a number of old sheds
or barns and an old manor house which
stood within the condemned precincts,
and it was these he ordered his slaves
to set on fire, using a mass of okum and
pitoh. By this stroke of cunning he
averted suspicion of having done it
himself, as everybody would say that I
he would not destroy his own property
His dishonest object was to prove that
it was done by the burners, the same as
the Pinkertons resort to such rascally
tricks to fasten suspicion upon our
strikers for depredatiens of which they
arc totally innocent. But when his
poor slaves had set the pitch aud resin
on fire and got the devouring elements
under way, the lords, in league with
Nero, took measures to kill them so
that their testimony might be destroyed-
As seon as the fire was fairly raiging,
Nero and a few of his favorits lords and
dissolute ladies got up on the Mseeen
atian tower and began carousing in joy
ful transports. It was here that he is
supposed to have done his fiddling,
but this is a mistake, for the instrument
he played was not the viol at all, bnt
the cithara.
Now, that we have got the great fire
stated and its hero at his fiddle, let me
ask the reader to stop a moment and look
at the kind of humanity and property
that is being wiped from the earth, for
they had no steam fire engines in those
days. I follow Tacitus, Dion, and
Suetonius. Nero’s old house, where
the fire broke out, were among the
wooden booths at the east end of the
Circus Maximus, and the flames first
spread over the Palatine and thence to
the Veiia, up to the Esquiline Hills of
Rome. They then caught and laid
waste the Aventine Hill. This last
place needs some description.
It was the hallowed spot on which
stood the wonderful temple of Diana,
protectricc of the poor, especially of
the female poor. This temple was
reverend in antiquity, having been
built by Ancus Martius and added to
by the great and beloved Servius Tul
lius, ancient kings of Rome, who, after
Numa, did most of any mortals for the
poor. Diana was simply the mythical
feminene of Dionysus, the great Greek
god of tbe plebs. Her so called slave
day was sanctified. No master dared
follow his runaway slave to this tem
ple’s awful portals. Her annual
festival was in August. The patricians
hated her and her temple, and had
ignored it for many centuries. His
torians mentioned only the aristocratic
institutions, which accounts for our
knowing so little about the temple ol
Diana on the Aventine. At the Pirmus,
or port of Athens, she had another,
called the temple of Artemis, where the
plebeian or poor people worshiped.
Diana was a grove dweller and gave
her attention and care mostly to ple
beian women. This fact that her
business was to protect the poor of
course explains why the emperor and
his grandees were determined to burn
up and anninilate her august sanctuary.
Dionysus, the emblematic masculine of
Diana, was the protector of grape
culture, and so the god of wine, as
well as the patron of all the mechanics,
and in mythology is the same as the
Bacchus of later times, whom the
Romans have grossly slandered. Let
us see what decent people thought of
him and his celebrated singers and
their methods of recreation and merri
ment. In Plato’s laws occurs this
passage which I have rendered : “And
thus our discourse is intended from the
beginning to pronounce in clear terms
an opinion favoring the Choir ol
Bacchus. The members are most
certainly exonerated if they happened
to become noisy, on the ground that
wine opens the intellect and softens
and warms the soul.’’ Moreover, there
are numerous inscriptions which have
been picked up within the last century,
showing that those old organizations
included in Nero’s conflagration were
in the habit of discussing economic
questions and the reforms of abuses ;
and this alone would be a punishable
crime under a tyrant. I give these
points to furnish the reader some faint
idea of the wretched condition of those
poor people.
The fire having spread over the
Aventine Hill and consumed everything
burnable, proceeded to the old Forum
Boarium, where Appius had ordend
the first gladiatorial horror. From
there, whilst Nero was exulting and
singiair songs of the capture of Troy,
the flames spread off, licking up every
thing in their way until forced to a halt
at the river Tiber and tho Servian wall.
It had burned continuously for six days
and seven nights. In confligrations.
auoh as the historic ones of London, or
of Chicago, there seldom occurs any
wery great loss of human life ; but in
the burning of Rome large numbers
met their death ; and I suspect that
there must have been some unchronicled
cause. It looks very rouoh as if there
might have been a good sized force of
soldiers, like the national guard, to
TUB TvrTT-it. A -KTT-) CTQTJE/ITA.X,: PBID-A/ST, NOVEMBER 25,1892.
prevent the terrified masses of human
ity from escaping to places of safety.
Everything seems to indicate that a
watch was kept up during the whole
period of seven days to prevent tbe fire
from being extinguished, in order that
it might burn up and destroy the
inhabitants. The horror and suffering
caused by that diabolical deed can
never be recounted. The anguish and
torture, the devastation and death
among the poor can only be conjectured!
Did it break up the unions ? Did it
annihilate the Christians? Did it
extinguish tbe Hebrews ? No.
Nero’s hellish work was not yet fin
ished when his fire went out for want
of more food at the Servian wall. There
yet remains his day of retribution to be
visited upon the '• burners.” They were
formally accused of having burned the
city; and to be accused waß to be
hunted down and punished without
judge or trial. The lynching first began
od the Christians, such as had not been
burned to death, but it soon became
the rage to seize and put to death any
one, of any brotherhood, old or young,
male or female, of whatsoever nation
ality or creed. Tacitus swoops them all
in as Christians, and while he persists
that they deserve punishment, he only
objects to the refined brutality with
which they were tortured in undergoing
death, Among other tortures, such
as being thrown into dens of lions
and tigers, naked and unarmed, to
be mangled, and while yet quivering,
swallowed by the half starved, glut
tonous beasts, they were sewn up in
bags saturated with oil, dragged to
tbe tops of steep hills, the bags set
on fire and then cast rolling down,
and amid the yells of the delirious
pagan infuriates, left to slowly con
sume in this igneous torture at the
foot of the steep. The cruel tyrant
and his relentless lords added anoth
er refinement to their atrocities by
smeariug their bodies with tar so
gummy it would not flow, thus mak
ing the coat e.n inch thick, then
mounting them on a palanquin with
long arm 3 by which it could be car
ried at night on the shoulders of four
soldiers and escorted through the
city, after being fired. The poor
wretches were thus made to serve as
torchlights. Hundreds were in this
manner pompously paraded through
Rome, blazing, and mingling their
cries of agony with the jeering and
ridicule of a heartless Roman mob.
It is known that Rome, during these
dissolute times, was infested with
half starved dogs, friendless and
prowling about for crumbs. Nero
gave them at least one feast He
had large numbers of the “burners”
sewn up in skins with their limbs so
pinioned that they could not fight
and thrown to these famished crea
tures to be devoured. The imagina
tion of the living age quails at the
i contemplation of a humanity that
. could have conceiyed and perpetrat
ed such deeds of Satanic vengeance !
Setting aside questions of barbar
ity, Nero certainly had reasons for
being alarmed for his imperial honor
and safety. He foresaw in these
• nestling brotherhoods a great and
rapidly rising power which might
become as strong as in the century
before. They must be “ effaced.”
The British Encyclopedia, comment
ing on Augustus, says of them : “The
almost complete effacement of the
comitia was largely due to the fact
that it had ceased to represent any
thing but the populace.’’ The
comitia- was the annual election;
and it shows that the brotherhoods
and lower class, generally, so far
outvoted the Roman lords and aris
tocracj' that they were compelled to
resort to the military arm tor their
suppression. After Nero we find
little or no evidence that the broth
erhoods ever again got a political
foothold. The workingman fell under
the feudal system where lie lies rot
ting today.
The moral of this terrible story
asks its own question : Are we, of
this, our own bright modern day,
going to have our brotherhood, our
political foothold, our liberties sup
pressed in the same refined manner,
or shall we organize and control our
government, put down tyrants, and
be free ?

The Household,
Fashion Notes.
Some of the new bounets have wings,
Mercury fashion, as a trimming. They
are set nearer the front than is usual
in the figure, but have a very similar
effect. Whether or not they are be
coming dresn’t seem to matter in the
least with some people.
The wrapper has goDe out of date
entirely, except for morning use, in
the retirement of one’s own household.
The elaborate wrapper of the past, with
ribbons aod ruffles, frills and furbelows,
no longer exists.
Ladies who wear very long hose or
the new pantellas doclare that they do
not feel the need of the gossamer
drawers usually worn. On very cold
days, a second pair of hose gives all the
warmth required.
Sealskin remains the popular lur
Of course, the loDg wrap is the favorite
with those who can afford it. Following
this, the jacket, cape and any number
of natty mantles and mantelets are
worn.
Sleeves are growing shorter. The
elbow sleeve is the prescribed length
for advanced designs from which some
of the first spring importations are to
be made.
For midwinter, long cloaks of all
sorts, with the most elaborate trimmings
of fur feathers, passementerie and
embroidery, will be the correct thing.
The long velvet cloak, the three
quarter fitting or half loose garment of
a quarter of a century ago, is again in
demand.
Empire dresses are gradually increas
ing in popularity, and all ladies who
fancy them may wear them with pro
priety.
Take Caro of Children’s Teeth.
If mothers would look after the little
first, or “milk,” teeth of their children,
and make a point of keeping them
clean, and, if decay appears, having
them stopped with some cheap filling
until their roots absorb, in process of
nature, there would be far less need of
dentists and dentistry than there is
now.
Tbe doctrine should be, “Save, not
rebuild; prevent, not cure.” Do not
wait till the plague spot appears, aDd
theu comfoit yourself by saying, “Oh,
it is easily filled; a mere cavity in a
tooth is nothing.” If we would but
believe it, five-Bixths of the cases
placed under tbe dentist’s charge, and
nine-tenths of those that do not reach
the dentist at all, but go through the
routine of decay, toothache, misery and
ultimate disintegration, need not
develop at all. A little watching on
the mother’s part, a little prudence on
one’s own behalf, and modern dentistry,
as excellent, as scientific, as perfect aB
it undoubtedly is, might find half o!
its usefulness gone, and much of its
glory departed.— Demorest's Magazine.
Washing Woolen Socks.
“Two or three people have recently
asked me bow to wash infants’ woolen
socks,’’ said an experienced nurse. “It
is very easy. All that is Decessary is a
bowl of warm soapsuds, in which the
socks are to be gently pressed and
squeezed until they look clean. They
may then be rinsed in other light suds
and hung up to dry, without wringing.
Indeed, this is one of the secrets of
successful work of this sort. Such
articles should never be pressed at all
hard—merely the slightest squeezing
and rinsing up and down in the suds
are all that is required. Wringing
woolen articles mats the fibers of the
wool, ana will certainly spoil them.
“They should be bung up by the
tops aud allowed to drip until almost
dry, when they may be taken down and
gently pulled with the bands and
shaped, care being taken not to stretch
them out of form "
Do not allow yourself to be imposed
on by the many novel schemes, adver
tising new and untried ao called cough
remedies ; but stick to the old reliable,
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, the unfailing
cure for all affections of the throat and
chest.
This year contains about ninety
hoilidays, or, at least, that number of
days when men need not work. There
are fifty.two Sundays, twenty-six
Saturdays (half holidays), Washington’s
Birthday, Fourth of July, Christmas,
New Year’s, Thanksgiving Day, Labor
Day, Good Friday and Columbus Cele
bration Day. Since the half-holiday
on Saturday has become a custom,
bankers and business men assert that
the same amount of business js accom
plished as heretofore in six days.

After Business—Pleasure.
One of the most unique and success
ful features of the winter season in the
city of Philadelphia is the course of
entertainments given by the great dry
goods merchants, Messrs. StrawbriJge
& Clothier, to their employes and
families, at absolutely no charge, what
ever, for admission tickets or reserved
seats. The Academy of Music is en
gaged for the purpose, and the arrange
ments are laid upon a broad and liberal
foundation.
There is nothing sensational about
these entertainments, nor anything that
savors of advertising. The tickets are
distributed among the employes with
the greatest care, and the interest that
is 6hown and the delight manifested by
the recipients must be ample repayment
to the firm for all the money and time
expended.
A unique feature of these entertain
ments is as follows:
Although regular coupons for xeserv
ed seats are issued, at 8 o’clock prompt'
ly a gong in the corridor is struck,
when all seats not at that time occupied,
are thrown open to holders of admission
tiokets. This is a feature that might
be readily adopted by tne management
of other public entertainments, and so
do away with the sight that is often
noticed in crowded assemblages, ot
seats remaining vacant through an entire
evening, because the owners of them
have not been able to attend, and no
one else is allowed to occupy them.
This enterprise of Messrs. Straw
bridge & Clothier is commendable in
every feature, and illustrates in a
remarkable degree the interest shown
by these enterprising merchants in the
great industrial army that is employed
at Eighth and Market Streets, Phila.
Useful Becipes.
Thin Cookies.—One cup of butter,
one cup of sugar and three eggs. Beat
together to a cream, add flavoring to
suit, then just enough flour to roll out
very thin. Cut out with biscuit cutter,
and bake in a quick oven to a very light
brown. Watch them constantly, as
they burn very easily.
Omelet with Baking Powder. —
Beat in one dish the yolks of half a
dozen eggs and the whites in another
dish. Both must be made as light as
possible. Sift a teaspoontul of baking
powder and a pinch of salt over the
whites, then add the yolks, beating as
quickly as possible to mix thoroughly;
then pour into a well buttered, very
hot frying pan. Cover closely for a
moment; then remove the cover very
carefully, turn the omelet if necessary
slide it out of the pan upon a hot plate,
and serve immediately.
Flavoring extracts are to desserts
what condiments are to metals; withou'
them, both are insipid. Bull’s Head
Flavoring Extracts are the best in the
