Ths Caalno the uter, one of the moat historic of the New York playhouaes, was damaged by nre today with & loe. of f 50,000. The blase began in the dressing room on the third floor over the ataae, while the rehearsal of the chorus girls was In progress Though thrown in a panic the members of the company escaped untojured with the exception of one chorus girl, who fell while folng- down malrs to the stage entrance and was painfully hurt, Ths stage carpenter who lingered too long In an effort to save one of th scenes was overcome by smoke, but he was revived on reach ing the street. About 40 chorus girls were crowding up the narow stairway when a burst of (lames from the dress ing room drove them back. In her frantic haste on girl was thrown down and had to toe carriea out of the theater. No spectators were In the theater when the Are broke out SIGNS OF POISON Xfftat m Saddea Flew of Heath Watae Mar ladleate. Dr. Trail mentions the bewilderment it a family that was attacked with a "water rage," incomprehensible until investigation revealed the fact that a lot of horseradish in their kitchen gar den had got mixed with some aconite berba. The sudden flow of saliva betrays the effect of some metallic poison lead perhaps or verdigris (oxide of cop per) and suggests the examination of copper cooking utensils. Old fashioned silver spoons were often imitated with plated copper and in course of time furnished a clew to their bottom facta by turning black, then black with greenish tints, but only after their secret had been intimated by a spitting epidemic. It is the same with lead. Chewing a leaden bullet for a couple of seconds make, the "mouth water" not as a bint a. a desire for additional supplies, but to rinse out . the palate and remove saliva that might cause mischief by finding Its way Into the stomach. , V A decorative painter who never touched such things a. pari, green or cinnabar without disinfecting his bands and mouth was greatly puuled by the morbid activity of his salivary glands. He had to spit like a tobacco fiend and finally traced his trouble to a substance known a. "bronse dust" that had set tled on hi. lips and nostril, and, under the Influence of moisture, had been de veloping copper poisons. Paris green not rarely gets blown like dust all over the field. It is sup posed to protect from insect plagues; then, moistened by dew or drizzling rains, forms a paste and cling, to vege table substances, where its presence is never inspected, till their consumer, complain of colic and mouth water. What To Eat . 4 no Daaarara at Orehtd Haattasr. The most beautiful region the orchid collector meets in his travels Is along the Orinoco, the Rio Negro and the Amazon, in South America.

There we find tbeCattleya ecbroederoe, a magnificent orchid with white flowers, which bloom about Easter time. But the i dangers and vexation, of a trip on the Orinoco, for instance, would hardly be believed. Miles and miles back from the coast In the district where tbe orchid, are found the Indians are In a wIld state and are foes to all white men. Tbey lurk in the bushes along the bsnks of the river aid shoot poi soned arrows at yon if yon happen to venture within range of their blow runs. The center of the stream is the only safe place.

The I soiled Children ef tha Werld. Burmese children are the spoiled chil dren of the world, according to V. C. Scott O'Connor. In his book, "The BUken East," he says that they are never punished by their parents, who universally adore them. They grow up In the open air with all the grace of young, unchecked life. "The sheer Joy of life abides In them." says be, "and tbcyW"em to live perpetually at play in the village street where they play a game of ninepins with the great seeds of a Jungle creeper; in the monastery, where they lie upon the floor and scream out their lessons with lusty de light; in the river, in which they splash and plunge before tbey can walk; at the play, where they crawl ' about among the feet of the prima donna and the posing kings, and at the pagoda, where they hold flowers before them with faces screwed up to gravity, with laughter pent up behind it And If there be any dispute about the good look, of their elders there can be none as to the prettlness of Burmese children."

There is the "black swallower," which devours oth er finny creatures ten times as big as itself, literally climbing over its vic tim, first with one Jaw and then with the other. Another species is nearly all mouth, and, having no power of lo comotion, it lira burled In the soft ooze at the bottom, its bend alone protrud ing, rendy to engulf any prey that may ' wander Into Its cavernous Jnws.
