MORE DREADED THAN DANGEROUS.
The spell of beautiful weather, unsur-
passed for December, has come to moist
conclusion with ominous threatenings of
a temperance of that dreaded visitor
the grip. While it is necessary to print
reports of epidemics, Just as of other news,
and so that people may be forewarned, too
much stress cannot be laid upon the ad-
vice to give way to no foolish terror. Vast
as was the inconvenience which the grip
brought to multitudes in this country last
winter, it is really not, excepting in rare
cases, fatal disease. Those deaths which
occurred when the grip was prevalent
could in almost every instance be traced
to other specific causes.
Considering the great numbers who ex-
hibited symptoms Of the aggravated in
fiuenza in one shape or other, the proper
ton of deaths attributable to the grip
alone was smaller than perhaps for any
other epidemic ever known. The sum of
experience is that, with those who take
the grip, ordinary precaution in keeping
within the house and following medical
directions, prevents danger, excepting
where the vital organs have already by
other causes been reduced to ar exceed
ingly feeble condition
The announcement from some of the
New York physicians who have been ex-
perimerting upon this years article of
grip that it does not threaten the nerves
as it did last year, will afford relief to
thousands familiar with the nervous form
of the ailment 1t was its hold upon the
nervous system of patients last winter
which caused it to he dreaded as far more
dangerous than it actually was. With the
element of nervous apprehension removed,
the grip need cause no more alarm than
an ordinary acute cold.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-The use Of vapor-
lied petroleum for fuel in the new hot blast
heating furnace in the shrinking pit at the
Washington ordnance shops has been so
successful that it is probable its use will be
greatly extended. The officers in charge of
the shops have under consideration plan
for using it in the furnaces Of the boilers
used in the shops, thus doing away with
coal entirely.
If the petroleum can be used successfully
under the boilers there will not only be
saving in the first cost of the fuel, but the
expense of handling will be almost nothing.
The smoke and dirt consequent on the use
of coal will also be done away with. 1t is

The chorus is composed of thiEtyfve ty y fresh, young voices, who seem to put torious. Of tho cast MI. Harry Ensign as sir rendered his musical selection admirably, but in his acting E was slightly inclined to oyerdo the will doubtless correct. Mir. Harwood,- as Ralph, rendered his music with much feeling while his acting was also all the moro pleasing because of it's absolute naturalness The rest of the male cast was admirable musically, while their work in other lines is sure to improve with practice. Miss Sullivan, as Josephine, is certain toscore an instantaneous success, her singing be- ing wonderfully correct, and her sweet voice heard to decided advantage. Mime.
