DANGER IN TOYS.
Those Sold ON the Street May Convey
Infection.

Those Sold on the Street May Convey
Infection.
The reading public is by this time
fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed, and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi-
nate use of hair brushes and towels,
and of the ear pieces of the phonOgraph;
to touch not with ungloved hand the
brass guiding rail of the street car, and
to be suspicious even of the telephone
transmitter. But, according to a med
ical journal, the latest hazard in infec-
tion is confined to children. Many in
genlous toys are now offered on the
sidewalks of city streets by itinerant
venders. One of these is tube of pa
per, furnished with short piece of
bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action of a slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo
the coil is unrolled and shoots out near
ly yard, and the sudden extension has
a comical effect, very entertaining to
the youthful mind. Another form of
toy is the miniature bagpipe. which is
made to emit its characteristic sounds
by the pressure of air from small rub
Der ball which has been inflated by air
blown from the mouth. Attention Is
called to the possible consequences of
buying these toys, which are presented
to child after being inflated by ques-
tiOnable breath, and perhaps wetted
with the moisture of the still more
questionable lips of the vender. An in
fected mouthpiece has been known to
be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles, and it seems strange that per-
sons who would hesitate to drink out of
a glass that has been used will buy
these toys and take them to their chill
dren without thought of the disease by
which they may have been contami-
mated. Among the impoverished max
ers and venders, sore threats, diphthe
ria and contagious fevers in very early
stages may be raging, and children may
contract fatal diseases of even a worse
character than any of these by using
these TOYS.

GENERAL MABKY, leader of the Texas
rangers, and twenty-six of his men, &C.
companied FItzslmmons and Maher to
the battle ground. They were laden
with Winchesters, revolvers ard certidg-
es. They went along for the purpose of
preventing the fight taking place on
Texas soil, soil that has been polluted
with a thousand more disgrsceful epis-
odes. They accompanied the fighters
to the bsrks of the Rio Grade. They
crossed the river onto Mexican territory
and by their presence at the ring side
were siders and sbettors of the fight
which took place.

Becoming Scarce. and Chinese Statesmen
Are Greatly Exercised.
Chinese politicians are doubtless
making great capital out of the fact
just now that the price of sharks fins
has gone up enormously of late.
Whether this is really due to these hot
sea leviathans becoming scarcer, like
whales, or to their displaying more ac-
tivity in evading capture. is disputable,
but the fact remains that their fins.
as delicacy. are becoming dearer and
dearer.
1t is generally supposed that sharks
fins are never eaten outside of the
celestial empire, but they do occasional
ly figure in select bauquets in England
and France So far as known they have
not become staple luxury in this coun-
try, however. though they are OCCASION
ly served at banquets given by San
Francisco epicures. The Chinese are
very fond of them. and, notwithstand-
ing the cost of the last war, still show
such desire for these delicacies that
the price is still rising

ONE OF NATURES PHENOMENA
A Bore's Semi-Annual Visitation at
Chekiang, China.

A Bore's Semi-Annual Visitation ut
Chekiang, China.
Twice a year-at each equinox-the
famous tides of the Tsien Tang river,
that flows from the borders of Kiangsi,
Fuhkien and Chiekiang to Hang Chow
bay, attain their greatest height; and
a bore of sometimes over 40 feet in
height sweeps irresistibly up its shall
low and funnel-shaped estuary, often
producing tremendous havoc to the
surrounding country-hence its name,
''moneydike, from the amount expend-
ed in successive centuries on its en-
bankments. 1t is seen at it's best at
Hang Chow, the prefectural city not
far from it's mouth. Twelve or IA min
utes before it is visible a dull, distant
roar is heard, momentarily swelling
until the wall of muddy water, tall as
the bulwarks of the biggest liner, as
overwhelming as a glacier, sweeps
into sight round the bend mile away.
Not boat is to be seen on the lately
crowded river; all are hauled up on to
the huge embankment and moored fore
and aft with dozen rattan cables, for
none but ocean going steamers could
stem the current, and even they would
need skillful navigation.
AS the ogre nears, the roar becomes
deafening as a storm at sea, drowning
the excited shouts of the thousands
who line the walls, until finally it foams
past in turbid majesty, hurrying to-
ward the heart of China. The celestials
have tried to deal with it in every way,
human and superhuman.

THEN AND NOW.

In 1878 John G.. Carlisle, then senator
from Kentucky, said advocating the
passage Of the Bland silver bill, said:

Purchased n Laugh for Fifty Dollars.

iIty
A society girl, one of whose greatest
attractions is soft, little, musical
laugh, entertained an interesting group
lately with an account OF how that
prominent charm of hers was acquired.
very few persons have, as you all
know" she said, 'an agreeable laugh.
[ had simply nothing that could be
called such in my possession. The lack

So I took lessons of an actor and learned

BAGG DEFEATED DONOHUE
The Massachusetts, Champion Was
Given Too Large Handicap.
He Is Fnst Man, However, and
Would Have Done Much Better
but for q Bad Fall

For the second time this week Joe
Donohue, the famous skater, who has been
meeting all comers at the Ice Palace at
Convention Hall, has met with defeat. Last
night Champion Bagg OF the State of
Massachusetts was the one TO show his
heels 10 the flying Donohue. Not that he
is within pounds of being Donohue's equal,
as he had handicap of three and three
quarter laps in a two-Inile race, and
then only managed TO win by the slight
margin of half lap.
There were five starters in ALL Donohue,
Ingefretz, Saunders, Strickland and Bagg.
They had handicaps ranging all the way
from lap and three-quarters, which was
given to Inglefretz, To the three and
three-quarters, which was allowed Bagg.
Bagg did not use the regulation racing
steels, but a pair of flat hockey skates.
He did not appear to be ale to do very
fast work on these and stun bled several
times. Indeed, once he wentdown. Never
theiess he. put up a good race and won out
in 657< with Donohue second.
InglefretZ again received n tumble. He
Goes not seem to be at home on the racing
steels, which is probably accounted for by
the fact of his being a new hand at racing,
fancy work being his speciality.
TonightS Saunders, Inglefretz, Bagg, Strick-
land and Washington boy from the Hill
named Harry Breck will be Donohue's
competitors. Breck is said TO be a very
fast man and great things are expected
from him by his friends in this city.

SPORTS ARE SCARED.
Big Fight at FL PasO May Forestan
ClevelaEd's Signature.


FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 6.-The action of Con-
gress in passing Delegate Catron's bin
preventing prize fighting in the Territories
has somewhat dampened the ardor Of those
connected with the enterprise, yet it is
probable the star feature of the carnival
will be pulled off tomorrow morning before
President Cleveland affixes his signature
to the measure.
That the passage of the bill by the House
had struck CONSERVATION to the mana gers
OF the carnival was apparent this morning
when contractors for the platform were
rushing around hunting carpenters to COM
plete their part OF the work.
1t was soon learned that it had been
decided to pull off the Maher-F Fitzsimmons
fight tomorrow morning before the Presi-
dent signs the bill, if it should pass the
Senate.
Julian and Stuart held a protracted con-
sultatiun at which FitZsimmonS was an at
tentive listener. Maher was telephoned at
Las Cruces and everything seemed TO be
agreed upon but when word came that the
Senate had taken the expected action and
passed the bill promptly it seemed 10 dampen
their ardor.
1t appeared TO the outsiders that Maher
had become frightened lest the President
should sign the bill and it become law so
early tomorrow as TO make the fighters sub
feet to the penalty. The Irish fighter has
not yet come i'm
Everything is activity tonight and while
Stuart is giving out that the program will
be carried out as advertised, it is plain
that he is not sure OF his ground and that
he believes the bill passed by Congress
cuts off the only sure locality where the
fight could be pulled off and the partici-
pants escape with light fines.
1t is reported that favorable kilograms
were received from Mexico this afternoon,
but those opposing the fight are confident
of their ground that the battle never will
take place on Mexican soil. 1t is reported
tonight that Fitzsimmons has been Doti-
fled that he could not train longer in
Mexico.
