Dangers From Pyamia.
From the Hour.

From the Hour,
Py@mia often works to its fatal end very
slowly. It breaks out in an abscess here, an
abscess there. Defeated at one point, in
trenches itself in another, gaining on al re-
sistance and often iutractable to medicine or
surgery. Its victim dies at last of exhaustion.
Late in the winter a woman was shot in New
York by a delinquent boarder. The bullet
penetrated her cerebral cavity, just as in the
presidents case itpenetrated the abdominal
cavity. She survived the shock, the secon-
Diary hemorrhage and the inflammation. In
about four weeks pyamia set in. The first
abscess was in the neck and reached to the
base Of the brain. It produced, of course,
softening Of the affected lobe, but she did
not die OF that grave complication. Six
weeks later huge abscess formed in the
region bounded by her right shoulder blade
and her right hip. Exhaustion followed at
once and She died. Just present the case
is not without certain interest.

Effect of the DrOuth i'm PHILADELPHIA,

From the Philadelphia Times
Produce of all kinds is scarce and high
in price, said dealer. This dry weather
has nearly ruined everything. Before the
drouth, stuff was plenty and cheap. You
remember there was a glut in the water
melon trade a couple of weeke ago, when
you could buy good melons for from five to
ten dollars a hundred. Now you have to
pay as high as forty and, in some instances.
fifty dollars hundred for the same quality.
Canteloupes have been quite plenty, but
have advanced from thirty cents to seven
ty-fve. Before the drouth potatoes sold
for fifteen and twenty five cents basket:
now they bring from fifty to seventy-fve
and cabbage that. used to sell for 81 rs now
bring $3.50 and $500 hundred. Toma-
toes have run up from ten cents to thirty
and seventy FIVE cents basket, and egg
plant, that was plenty at fifteen cents a
basket is now scarce at $1.25. Big raise.
wasn't it? The drought has seriously af-
fected the price Of butter, owing to the
scarcity Of pasturage, and where two weeks
ago good butter could be sold for twenty
cents it's hard matter to be able now to
sell 1t at thirty and forty cents pound.
Ear corn is now worth dollar and half n
hundred, where it could formerly be sold
for third Of that amount They might as
well cut up the corn, for it is all dried up.
Sweet potatoes brought forty, but now they
are worth seventy five cents basket. On.
ions are scarce at seventy five cents a bas-
ket, where they would bring a profit at
twenty five cents before. Crops generally
are srnau and OF an inferior quality"

MISS KELLOeGIN ST. PETERSBURG.

The Everlasting Dread of the Nihilists In
trudes Behind the Scenes at the Opera.
Brunswick's Letter in Boston Saturday Gazette.
Since she. went to Europe this last time
Miss Kellogg has had great many inter-
esting experiences. She has sung in Lon
don, Vienna and st. Petersburg, and she
has listened to others sing IN the fameua
capitals of Europe. She has compared
notes with Nilsson and Patti, and profted
by all that she has seen and heard. Her
Russian experiences were the most enter
tairing. She was in st. Petersburga month
before the car was murdered. She only had
one glimpse of his Imperial Majesty during
her visit and that came near sending her to
Siberia. While waiting to see him come
out of his palace she left her carriage and
walked up and down to keep warm. In
stantly guard seized her and refused to
allow her to 60 back. She demonstrated in
English, French and Italian, but he was OBJ
durate in Russian. When he saw her car
riage he consented to allow her to enter it,
but explained, with the most Ineligible
gestures, that she might drive past that sd
cred entrance, but that she must not walk
past it. One night at the opera the Ameri.
can minister and his wife thought they
would 60 behind the scenes and congratu-
late their countrywoman on her success.
They were met at the stage, door by guar d
over six feet tall, who told them that no
one but those employed on the stage
were allowed to cross the Threshold. The
minister explained who he was and why he
wanted to go on. The guard raised his
shoulders and shook his head. He was,
however, good enough to give his reasons.
There was no personal objection to the
Amer can minister calling on the American
prima donna in her quarters behind the
footlights, but if he did so others might
want to, and in that way nihilist nigh
get there, and as the czar was in the habit
of going on the stage there could be no nj
hilist allowed around. The car was not
on during Miss Kellogg's engagement. The
court was in mourning and none of the
royal family attended the opera. The vigor-
GUS rules were unrelaxed, however. A guard
Of picked men, with fierce eyebrows and
piratical boards, were posted in semicir-
Gle around the stage, and all the employees
wore numbers in brass letters
strapped to their arms. so that there
was no making any mistake about them.
With all these great precautions the poor old
man was blown up after all. Miss kellogg
tells amusing stories Of how her letters and
papers were opened before she received
them. The opening of the letters was very
cleverly done, so that one would not observe
them unless his suspicious had been.
aroused. The papers we're opened more
boldly, and everything that offended the
governmental eye was cut out. The Herald
was the only American paper allowed to
come into Russia unopened. Perhaps the
rumor of Mr.. Benefits engagement to
Russian princess was the open sesame.
Hartmanns gstory had not been printed then.
I am afraid the Herald will be covered with
black marks now.

A SNAKE ARTIST.

"A Man Who Manufactures Stories About the

Nobody knew how he got in: but he was
there, and after borrowing chew of to-

"On the morning of Wednesday Of this
week little Elite Strayoff, the two-year old
daughter Of one of the wealthiest and most
influential members of this community,
met with an adventure which might be re-
garded as incredible but for the fact that
it is vouched by reliable witnesses. She
got lost in a neighboring forest and was
chased by huge snake, which emerged
from deserted hut in wild ravine, where
it had been leading a hermit's life, subsist-
ing on wild herbs and eklng a
precarious income by telling fortunes
When the child saw the terrible mon
ster she was almost paralyzed BY fright, but
with surerhuman effort regained her fac
ulties and began to flee. She was, how
ever, fated to be overtaken, as the serpent
pursued and caught up with her before she
had gone ten miles. Then he opened his
mouth and prepared to levour her, when
all at once his attitude changed. Instead
of carrying out this resolution, to the ex-
ceeding surprise of his intended victim, the
monster smoothed her hair and patted her
little cheeks, and, gently releasing SIS, 900
diamond brooch from her throat, pinned it
in his shirt front and walked refeetively
away. The friends Of the child found her
soon afterward, and on learning her strange
story went back to look for his snakeship.
They discovered him sitting in front Of his
hut studying the Cape May time table, with
a view Of becoming a watering place

The editor assured Mr.. Lyme that he
possessed too much genius to be permitted
to run at large, SO he employed him to write
obituary notices.

1t was stated few days ago by prom.
inent speaker, and generally believed and
copied through the press, that Cunard
steamer, under the British flag, was the,
first to cross the Atlantic. But no patriot
should fail, in this way, to give his country
the glory that is her due. The steamship
Savannah, under command OF Captain
Moses Rogers. sailed from New York for
Savannah March %, 1919. and thence to
England, Denmark, up the Baltic to the
port OF St. Petersburg, and back again to-
America. The Savannah was built for a
wealthy merchant of Savannah, Ca, Mr..
William Scarborough, in 1918, and launched
on the 22d day of August. Francis Pickett
was the builder, and Stephen Vail, found
er, put up the engines and boilers. She
carried seventy-fve tons of coal upon this
voyage and twenty five cords of wood, but
could neither get a passenger nor pound
of freight, though she was we'll advertised,
and though President Monroe and large
suite had been carried upon delightful
excursion gratis, and spoke highly Of her.
She made the trip from Savannah to
Liverpool in twenty-five days, and there
she was boarded by the harbor fire depart

on fire. When they discovered their mis-
take they were not, after all, ready to let the
steamer alone, but for a long time held her
under suspicion and the grave charge of
being an internal machine, prepared to ac-
complish the escape Of Napoleon from st.
Helena. When at last she reached America
again, she was taken to Washington and
dismantled, or disgorged, for lack of popu-
larity. The engines were taken out, and
she was run as packet from New York to
Savannah until she was wrecked on the
south shore of Long Island. An interest
