' - Realdent of Baden-Baden.
The Department of State has been
furnished with a description of In
genious device for the removal of per
son and property from burning build
ings. It was sent hr United States Con
sul Brlttaln of KehL It Is said a model
or this profitable fire escape invented
by mlhelni Lampe of Baden-Baden
will soon be brought to this country
and may be exhibited In Washington.
The apparatus is built on a wagon
or trucks. It la provided with a num-
Der or extendable platforms which can
be set according to the heights of the
floors of the building from which the
people are to be rescued. It Is also
supplied with a double arrangement of
ladders and with the necessary number
of railed safety bridges which can be
let down and put together. These are
to assist in the rescue work and in re
moving furniture from burning build
ings. The entire Are escape with ap
pliances may be placed in serjice In a
few minutes. It can also be used In
making military observations and for
scarcniignts. .
A framework of lazy-tones is con
structed in such a manner thut the ex
ternal places of Injunction of every
second pair of legs are adjusted to serve
as supporters for the platform. These
platforms can be put up at the various
heights of the floors of a burnlnz
building and a gangway is hinged to
eacn platform. By the aid of these
gangways persons are enabled to pass
from the windows of a burning building
to the main platform and then descend
by the aid of a rope ladder.
When in operation the gangways may
be let down collectively by a sinele
movement so as to stand out horizon
tally, with their outer edges or ends
laid upon the window ledsres of the
different floors of a building. The en
tire framework of the portable tower
or fire escape may be folded up and
placed In a comparatively small space.
When the tower has been adjusted
ready for use It is kept in position by
a system of rods made of tubing and
attached to the framework In a manner
which makes the tower very substan
tial. Washington Star.
I HE WAS NOT AT HOME.
The etxtreme distaste of the modest
Quaker poet, John Greenleaf Whlttler,
for foolish hero worship, and the skill
which he attained In politely eluding
too enthusiastic admirers, have been
exemplified In many anecdotes. Even
now, however, new ones occasionally
come to light One such recently re
lated tells how two women, of the type
at once sentimentally gushing and over
confident of their own importance, vis
ited Amesbury to seek the poet In his
home.
They went astray In their search
for his house, and bustled into a small
general store to be redirected. The
clerk, smiling a little queerly, inform
ed them that the Whlttler house was
near by but a few steps round the
corner.
One of the women, a big, florid, over
dressed being with languishing eyes,
caught the smile, and clasped net
hands with a rapt air.
"Oh, don't you think he'll see us?"
she demanded. "He simply must 1
We've heard he doesn't like to, but he
must; we won't go away till he does.
We've thought up ever so many thingi
we want to ask him."
The clerk, still smiling, glanced cas
ually toward a quiet man in a shadowy
corner, sitting on a barrel, surrounded
by a group of other leisurely custom
ers. They had all been talking politics
together, village-fashion, . when the
strangers came in. '
"Think he will?" said the clerk.
"Well,", replied the man on the bar
rel, hesitatingly, "thee knows Greenleaf
does not find it easy to refuse a lady.
I think perhaps he will If he is at
home."
The women bustled away again, ex
cited and expectant, , and a chuckle
went round among the laughing men.
The man on the barrel, with a trace of
apology in his tones, rose from his
perch to go.
"They will not waste five minutes,"
he murmured, "It is such a little way.
Besides, thee knows very well that ex
ercise Is a good thing for stout ladles."
"That's so, Mr. Whlttler," assented
the clerk. Youth's Companion.
A Blow to Sentiment.
"I cannot sing the old songs any
more," said the man who had been
chided for his silence. The sympathetic
hostess turned to him with her gentle
smile.
"They are too full of memories and
associations, I suppose," she said, soft
ly. "No," said the man, decidedly. "They
are not full enough, that's the trouble.
I can't remember the words, madam."
Hovel Claim of a Priest.
Father Bernard Vaughan In opening
a bazaar at Liverpool the other day in
aid of a charitable society ridiculed the
assertion that all poverty was caused
by drink. He said: "It Is all fudge
and nonsense and blithering idiocy. The
real reason that drink upseta the poor
is because they have no food to take
with it"

A Case of Spring Catarrh.
Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 423 N. Broad

spring I caught a severe cold, which de

I felt weak and sick, and could neither
eat nor sleep well.
"A member of our club who had been
cured of catarrh through the use of Pe-1

Because John Hermann, a small boy
in Lincoln, Neb., forgot his mother's
command to be sure and wash his feet
before going to bed, several Lincoln
men seem to owe him the chance to
make a fortune. An antiphlogistine
factory Is to be started In consequence,

gone barefooted for the first time this
year, awoke the next morning to find
that his clay-covered feet were blis

the clay with which the youngster's
feet was coated, declared that all that
It needed to obtain a very good quality
of antiphlogistine, or Denver mud, was
