METROPOLITAN CASUALTIES.

Injuries from boxing have proved fatal in
but one instance since 1870 This death oc-
CURED in 1883.
The total number of deaths from burns in
1892 was 1876 as against 141 in the proceed
ing year and "a in 1890.
4 beer vat which burst in 1884 cost the
life of one workman who was standing near
enough to become fatally scalded.
No person living in New York has been
killed by a stroke of lightning since 1880
Previous to that year nine cases were re-
ported.
Strange as it may seem, there has been but
one death from explosions of chemicals In
this city since 1870. This isolated fatality
occurred in 1854
The only case on the records of the board
of health for the past 30 years where a
man was killed in attempting to stop n
runaway team occurred in 1854
The habit of smoking in bed has been re,
sponsible for five deaths in this city in the
past 20 years, caused by the clothes about
the careless smoker catching fire
A mineral water siphon which exploded
in 1891 killed a man Another was killed
in the same year by the explosion af a bot
tie containing a patent fire extinguishing
fluid.
Nitroglycerin is a dangerous explosive
and presumably large quantities of it have
been handled in this city since 1870, yet
during that time only two deaths have
been caused by it--New York Sun

No Romance There.

1t was in a dining car on a Michigan Cen
trail train going east. \ young man with
his hair parted in the center and his mus
tache waxed to the proper caper sat down
at n table just vacated by three or four PEG
pie. and about the first thing he saw WAS a
lady's kid glove. He gObbled it at once,
but two minutes later young man entered
the car and approached the table TO ask:
Excuse me, but did you see a kid glove
around here."
II did" stammered the young man.

1T was so small and soft and neat, You

But she does mind" interrupted the

Not a bit of it. She's CS years old and
my grandmother, and she long ago got
through with leaving her gloves around for
young men To lollypop over"
Avn gaspetl the young man as he drew
the glove from his bosom, and that was all

HE HANDLED A CAT.
That Is, He Laid Trap which the Cat Fen
Into.

AAto.
The man who always has a cure for every
Ill and remedy for every evil showed one
of his strokes of genius the other day. His
wife's cat had acquired a fondness for one
of the bathtubs in the house. OF course
this tub was in the room next to the dress
ing room of the master of the house OF
course the master of the house doesn't like
cats.
Fannie" he said, II found that cat
smoothing in my bathtub again today"
Pm sorry, dear" she said. II have tried
to succeed"
"weIl. we must have that cat drowned"
he said fiercely.
His wife protested mildly.
That is the only annoying trick she
has" she said. 1T would be a pity to kill
her"
Then" said the man of the house, I'll
take this thing into my own hands Now,
I'll just explain to you how I'll do il. You
know how she gets into the tub. She takes
n run. leaps to the edge and goes in with
out a stop. I'm going to run about three
inches of water into the tub, let it stand
there, and let her get s0using. You know
how a cat likes water" he added signifi-
cantly.
He put his plan into operation at once
That afternoon pussie did her little hurdle
race as usual over the side of the bathtub
The plan worked to perfection. There WAS
a loud cry, a streak of Cat through the
dressing room, and a wet flash into the
sewing room. Near the door Of this room
stood a perch, ON which rested in peaceful
sleepiness dignified parrot. The cat tried
this hurdle, but missed it, and the parrot,
knocked to the floor, added to the force Of
the cyclone which went raging around the
house. \ table was knocked over. and n
statue of the Venus of Milo, already short
of arms, was made lelsless. The a,lor,d
baby of the house was frightened into
spasms; the parrot scolded and screamed
herself into Il fit, and afterward the drip
ping cat, having made a lightning tour of
the house, was found, trembling and sub
dued, on her mistress jacket, price -.
II hope" said the lord of the manor.
when he had surveyed the scene of wreck
age, THAT this will teach your cat a les
son."
II hope So" said his wife. soothing the
baby and looking at her jacket with mourn
full eyes.
There is only one way to 20 about such
things" said the husband, with satiSfac-
ton. Il pride myself on being able to
handle animals" And his wife discreetly
said nothing.-New York Tribune.

He coughed once or twice and then re-

to the Monaghan race. and do not come
within the term white persons" as pre-
scribed in the naturalization laws of the

this Interpretation of the Chinese exclusion

exclude Cinnamon, and the most bitter of

distinguish japanese from a Cinnamon,
