A LAND OK NAPHTHA. Highly Inflammable Nature of Everything at Baku Petroleum Wells. Probably there is 110 spot on earth where more highly inflammable matter lies exposed to such terrible ecuflagratioiis as that just reported from liaku than in the district lying jnst beyond that town on the shores of the Caspian. Everything seems saturated with petroleum. The air one breathes is laden with a greasy odor, and the waters of the bay aro covered with an iridiscent sheen which at night may be set on lire with most weird effect. Xot only is black naphtha to be seen iu monster fountains playing from the very earth, bnt white naphtha flows of itself in places, and a short way off are the natural gas vents over which the natives do their cooking without coal, and which once fed the sacred Zoroastriau fires. No wonder that the ancient Persians looked on this as holy ground, where the eternal, heaven fed flames of life burst forth in sacred buildings, tbo remains of which are still extant, and the modern Persian or Parsoe of Bombay and Gujerat kindles the oil shipped to him from Eatoum without a sigh for a vanished belief. When the lato shah cf Persia visited Baku, it was necessary to import a number of priests for the occasion that he might witness in the portion of the Persian empire that had been wrested from it by Peter the Great a specimen of the worship that Ids predecessors had all but stamped out in the portion they had conquered and retained. For less distinguished visitors to see there is only a ruined tower, from tho top of which flare natural j<ts, through iron gas pipes, and a number of cells, with altars for tire once sacred fire, and some ancient inscriptions. Everything round is saturated, and 1 have stood in those sheds the only dry object, with a naphtha spout playing above and falling deafeuingly upon tho roof. No one objects to naphtha there, and the men even wash in it. using sand therewith, while all employed - hate a lixed allowance for fuel and light. No dwellings more dismal than theirs can be imagined. Dante should have visited the spot All around between the wells lie lakes of seething naphtha, which, when elearcf sand and stones, will he pumped into iron reservoirs. The roads have naphtha streams by the sides, and naphtha pipes cf all sizes cross and interlace in all directions until they are hardly passable. One rashly thrown match would set miles in a blaze, and the most stringent regulations are wisely enforced. But for them disasters would be terribly frequent. A very different appearanco is presented by the palpitating Black Town, where in gigantic furnaces the naphtha is distilled and churned and distilled again as uenzine, kerosene and vaseline, and many valuable chemicals arc one by one removed, till only the thick, black residue of use for fuel is left, and much of this is used to feed the furnaces themselves. Boilers so heated closely resemble those intended for coal and wood, except that on the inside of the fire doors are stout jets, through which " - i 1.1. _jr a.l_ . ,i??i it is pumpea iae xeugui ci rue ureuu*, forming bright tongues cf heat giving flames.

Alliu told this war story: It was just before the battle of Murfreesboro that a detachment of Morgan's command was guarding a mountain pass a few miles from Bradyville, Tenu. A portion of the valley leading to the pass was densely wooded and swampy. Tho marshy ground abounded in bullfrogs cf huge propor* tions, and the trees afforded myriads of owls of immense size a roosting place. Among the soldiers was a stripling from near Stanford by the name of Spreeler. It was a gloomy, wild and windy night that Spreeler was called upon to do J J_1 A 1 1 ^1. 1 1_ guara uuiy. Aiuag auuut i u ciuck, when the sky was of a leaden hue and the wind sighed fitfully through the trees, an owl on a nearby limb hooted: "Who?who?who are you':" "John Spreeler!" exclaimed the sentinel, trembling in his boots. Just at that moment a bull frog in deep bass tones seemed to say: "Sur?sur?surround him." "I'll be darned if you do," exclaimed Spreeler as he fired his musket and broke for camp, which had been thrown into the wildest confusion by the alarm, it being thought that the euemy was attacking the outposts. When the true state of affairs was understood, the others made life a burden for John until the battle of Murfreesboro, when the Lincoln county stripling was promoted for conspicuous bravery.* He was afterward assigned to JBragg's army and died like a hero at the "battle above the clonds" while in the forefront of the charge and trying to spike an enemy's cannon.?tiarrcdsburg (Ky.) JDeniocrat. Friendly Attention. Trne friendship has a broadening influence and takes small account of things which might serve to weaken the charms of mere acquaintance. "Are yon habitually lame, or is your limp caused by some temporary trouble?" inquired the lawyer in a case of assault and battery, addressing a witness for the defendant. The man bore every indication on his face and person of having been in some recent catastrophe which the lawyer hoped to prove was the particular affray then before the court. "Oh, Oi'll be all right in a day cr two!" said the witness cheerfully. "It was jist a friend of mine kicked me the other evening, and Oi'm a bit stiff in the j'iuts, that's all."?Youth's Companion.

A Case of Literal Observance or a j^ire Inspector's Instructions.* A day or two ago Fire Inspector Sharp entered a shoe shop in a Broad street basement for the purpose cf making an inspection. The owner of the shop is an old negro man who has known Inspector Sharp for many years, *ud he was highly delighted at the honor bestowed upon him. When he was informed that the stovepipe was in such a fix that it might set the building on fire and was told not to use it auy longer, he entered no protest and said: "No, sah, Marse Sharp; she sho gwinter come down dis day!" A few lines on Inspector Sharp's notebook told of the condemnation of the flue, and he went on his way, giving no further thought to this particular case. A short while afterward a man passing along the street stopped in front of the building under which the shop is located. He smelled something burning, but passed on, thinking it was smoke from a locomotive. Then another man stopped. He saw smoke coming through the sidewalk grating. He pointed it out to another, and then a crowd gathered. The smoke increased and was seen issu ing from liib building above fuo sulo- j : walk. Some one suggested so iding an ; j alarm. Others opposed this, and a com- j promise was arranged by which Assist- j . i ant Chief Commings was telephoned for and the crowd made a committt e of the j whclo to investigate the cause of the ! ' sin ok o. . They walked down the steps of tho ! i sboesbcp, and when they opened the j ! i door they were almost blinded by the j dense smoke. In tho middle of tho floor ; sat the shoemaker hard at work. In i front of him was the ill fated stove. A j hot fire was roaring in it, and from all j ' ; sides black smoke was issuing. Thero I ! ? - cv?nU-p i 1 was no si'jvi'jjijiu i?/ ^?.?>- ? , i to the fine. *The pipe was lying in a ! i corner ainl was bent ?lh1 broken, j "Great Scott, old man !''exclaimed ! a committeeman. " Why don't you put j ! your stovepipe up and let the smoke | out? Here, give mo a lift, and I will | help you with it." lie started toward the pipe, but the old negro jumped in front of him, exclaiming: "Don't tech dat pipe! For Gawd sake don't lay er finger on her! Marso Sharp say she tnus'n' be used, an he knows. He's got on er blue coat an brass buttons an wears a cap jes' laic Chief Jovncr. lie told 111c ter take dat pipe down, an down she couie." "Hut look at that smoke, old man. You will smoke everybody in the building out, and they'll have you arrested," was urged. "Don't you know you can't burn a lire this way. Be sensible and put up the pipe." "2so, siree. Alldc perlice in town an Chief Manly ter boot can't make mo put dat pipe up. Don't yon know Marse Sharp?

K.\*Xj.iKy Mil , twoll ho come an say put Vr up orpin." At this juncture Assistant Chief Cummings and Inspector .Sharp arrived on the hcono and explained to the old man that he must not use his stove until the flue was mended.

"When his company left Philadelphia to play in -Boston, everybody but Mr. Barrymore succeeded iu getting a lower sleeping berth. Some of the other members of the company thought it a good joke, and one by one they approached hiiu and inquired why it was that ho seemfd to prefer an upper berth. At last Mi'. Barrymore grew weary of tho questioning and began to explain. "I'll tell why," said he. "When I first began to travel, years ago, the wheel of a car on a train passing us flew off and killed a man in lower Xo. 5. The chap over him never got a scratch.

"What?" inquired Stephen Grattan. . "I always undress, same as at a hotel. There's no telling when an accident may come. In case the car goes off the upper berth is apt to close up, and you are thus secure from the gaze of the vulgar public until the porter can put up a tent alongside the track and get your clothes there and help you to dress. Modesty is my chief reason, but as all you fellows broke your necks to get lower berths of course 1 can't expect you to understand or appreciate it."? New York Telegram. Theory ami Practice. Mine.

Two-thirds of the men aro below 5 feet o inches in height in some of the communes, r.nd the women are or more inches shorter even than this. One man in ten is below 4 feet 11 inches in stature. This is not clue to race, for several racial types are equally stunted in this way within the same area. It is primarily due to generations of subjection to a harsh climate, to a soil which is worthless for agriculture, to a ste ady diet of boiled chestnuts and stagnant water, and to unsanitary dwellings in the deep, narrow and damp valleys. iStill further proof may be found to show that these people are not- minted by any hereditary influence, for it lias been shown that children born here, but who migrate and grow up elsewhere, are norma! in height, while those bcru elsewhere, but who are subject to this environment during the growing period of youth, are proportionately dwarfed.?

The portly man with this head bad seen a lot of friends before be went into the theater, and he v. as weary. His coupon called for a seat right next to a pillar in the lower part of the house, and when the usher took him to it a smile of ecstasy swept over his great face. J Pretty soon the ballet appeared, and the man was amused for a time. The jokes of the leading comedian, the songs of the prima donna and the whirl of the dauscusc were lost to him, though, for ho fell asleep. Against the convenient pillar the man pillowed bfs large, shining head, and thus be restul until the climax of the first act and throughout tiie music during the wait. A man who had to go cut climbed over him without his making the least sign. It was a peaceful sleep, accompanied by only the gentlest of snoring, and unconscious ly the man furnished much amusement to the other people who came to see the show. While he had withstood the thunders of the bass fiddle, the tremolo of the leading violin, which always accompanies some act of villainy on the stage, awoke him. He started, glared at the stage, could not understand and left the theater in the midst of all the exciting scene. "Le' 1110 out," be said to tbo usher in the fover. "I guess I'm in the wrong house somehow."?Pittsburg Post. Corncob ripe* and Teetec Stem#. The manufacture of corncob pipes has become a considerable iudustry at Beaufort, S. C. Special machinery has been made for the purpose, and an pxpert turner is employed to carve out tho bowls, which are of many designs. The cobs are of a particular corn grown in the Missouri valley and are transported to South Carolina by the carload. The cobs have to bo seasoned for two or three years before tbey are used. The supply of cane stems, which is obtained from the cauebrakes along the Port Royal railroad in lots of 60,000 stems, capable of being cut into three lengths, also employs much labor in tha country to select and gather them. A new and attractive feature of some of these pipes is the tectee stem. Tho teetee is a shrub, the botanical name of which isCliftonia ligustrina. It grows up in a long, straight, pointless stem, with a soft center pith and of various circumferences, from the size cf au ordinary pipestem to that of the little linger. It has enjoyed the reputation, from the aborigines and among southern planters and others, who have ever used it iu prefereuce to any other, uot excepting the cherry or fig stem, of best absorbing the nicotine and affording a grateful and fragrant taste.?Savannah News.
