The physicians at the city dispensary
are puzzled over a new form of poison.
Gus disease. DR.. Newcomb, assistant
dispensary physician, has handled IA
cases, and the patients still continue
to come. The trouble consists in an abb
normal swelling of the face, feet and
body, the effect, apparently, Of insect
bites. Those who have applied to the
dispensary all tell the same tale" said
DR.. Newcomb. "They say that during
these hot nights they go to bed and
sleep without any covering, and when
they wake up in the morning their
faces are frightfully swollen. Their
hands, too, are affected, and sometimes
their feet. We prescribe hot applica.
tions, which generally have the effect
of reducing the swelling. We are at a
loss what to call the malady, as this
seems to be the first year it has ap.
peared. 1t is doubtless the result of a

An amnsinE Egg Trick.

Here is {. trick that will amuse you.
Puncture the shell of raw egg with a
pin, and through the hole thus made
extract the contents. When the shell
has become dry pour fine sand
through the pinhole until the egg is
about one-fourth filled. Then seal up
the hole with white wax, and your
imitation egg will be as natural
in appearance as a real one. Then
tell your companions that you can make
an egg obey your slightest wish, stand
ing on the edge of knife, the rim of a
glass, or whatever you will. OF course.
no one viii believe you, but you can
prove you are right. The only secret is
to tap the egg gently every time you
change its position, so that the sand
viii settle at the bottom, and keep the
egg upright in just the position you
wish

Maori Gtrrs Swimming Feat.

4 story Of a plucly girl comes from
far-off New Zealand. A Maori girl,
aged 16, was crossing Lake Tanpo in a
canoe with two children, aged two
three and ten years. When fully half
mile from shore a squau capsized the
canoe,and theoccupantsw were left strug-
Cling in the water. 1t was impossible
to right the canoe, but the girl did not
lose her seIf-possession. She placed the
children as securely as possible on the
bottom of the boat, and then slipping
off her wet skirts, she took the towing
rope in her teeth and swan to the shore,
with the canoe and its precious cargo.
All Maori girls are powerful swimmers,
and the feat would hardly have been
possible to a girl of another nation.

LIVELY BEAR STORY.
How Lizzie Perkins Protected Her
Honey with an Umbrella.

How Lizzie Perkins Protected Her
Honey with an Umbrella.
Lizzie Perkins, II years old, has sud-
denly acquired local fame. Like many
ether children who were born and
reared in the Adirondacks, Lizzie is not
afraid of bears unless the animals be-
come threatening. On more than one
occasion Lizzie has come across bears
when playing, but never until the other
day was she molested by one. 1t hap
pened that Lizzie was on her way from
the house of a distant relative to her
own home. Lizzie carried pot Of
honey under one arm and an umbrella
under the other.
As is well known, bears possess an al
most unconquerable liking for honey.
They love honey almost as much as they
do life, and will run risks to get their
paws in the sweet stuff. Bruin came
ambling awkwardly after Lizzie. The
child had no thoughts of bears, and it
was not until she heard a snort at her
elbow that she turned and saw the
black bear. There was nothing partic-
ularly ferocious looking about the ami
nal. AS Lizzie turned around the bear
stumbled backward after the fashion Of
a clumsy Newfoundland dog. Then it
SAT upon its launches and eyed the
child.
1t did not take Lizzie long to gress
that the bear was after the honey. She
knew well that she could escape the
bears claws by putting down the honey
and running off. But Lizzie wasn't that
kind of a girl. She meant to keep the
honey and outwit the bear.
She carefully placed the pot of honey
on the ground. Then she opened the UNI
brella, and, with shrill cry, darted at
the bear, waving her unique weapon in
the most threatening manner. The
bear, taken by surprise, tumbled over
backward, and then, scrambling to his
feet, fled ingloriously up the trail.
Lizzie picked up her pot of honey and
started home. Soon she saw the bear
jogging after her. She again opened
the umbrella and resorted to the same
tactics as before. Again the bear ran
away, this time for good. Lizzie told
the story of her adventure when she
reached home. She is now being
praised for her presence of mind.-N.

hOunEsteE W nose singing mas As
tonisbed New York ChurchgOers.
Harry Chauncey Smith, Is years old,
is the name of one of the most famous
singers in New York city. When a
toddling child four or five years of age
he used to sing every song he heard.
end later began to pick out his accom-
paniment on the piano with one hand;
but on these occasions, when trying to
play like a lady," he would allow only
his sister to be present. He would coax
her into the parlor, shut the door, and
then beg to have the piano opened
After this was done he would stand by
the instrument for hours, singing
hymns he had learned at Sunday school
and finding the notes to suit.
When Harry was nine years old his
parents moved to New York city, and
he became one of the chorister boys at
All Angels Protestant Episcopal
church. Two years later he, with sew
eral of his young companions, were
transferred 70 the choiro Grace church.
Here Harry's health improved, his
voice gained sweetness and power, and
he found himself one of the most IA
nous boys in his country.
He is a sweet-faced, delicate-loolling
lad, with large gray-blue.eyes and short
blond hair. He is small for his age, and

A MONKEY WHEELMAN.

THO THY s1n1hn ENJOYS SPIN as
Much as His Master.
Not content with having q dog, cat,
white rats, rabbits, turtles and other
pets, Aleck Muncbweiler, downtown
boy, purchased a monkey few weeks
ago. Because of the little animals
penchant for drinking water from a
hydrant, he has been named Spigots.
Spigots has developed a mania for cy-
cling. His master has arranged a little
seat on the front of the wheel, and here
the monkey sits, dressed in a pair of red
boomers. The queer pair were out on
their wheel the other day and attracted
much attention. Spigots enjoyed him
self hugely, and looked with disdain
on the dogs that parked as he rode by.

has particularly sweet, gentle manners,
though ne rides bicycle and is devoted
to dogs and flowers.
Speaking of this his sister says: at
would be hard to tell which he likes the
most-music or flowers. He will spend
all his money on flowers, and do all
sorts of imprudent things for the sake
of his music. One day during dreadful
snowstorm he had a practice at the
church, and it seemed impossible to
keep him at home, although he had a
bad cold. So we sent out for a carriage,
and, of course. il took some little time.
All the while l had to be most positive
in refusing to allow him to start out be-
fore it came. Next to music, think he
likes arithmetic and history. though
until quite recently he has disliked the
former, because 1 suppose he has just
begun to understand it. During the
summer months the whole family go to
Canada, and Harry spends the holidays
f1olicking like other boys. Music and
books are forbidden, so he takes long
rides through the country on his wheel,
goes boating and fishing on the lakes,
or runs wild through the woods with
his dogs. Each fall he comes home
triae taller and healthier looking, ready
to work hard with his music and books"
At the Christmas service of Grace
church he sang a solo: Hear Ye, o
Israel" 1t was the first time the piece
had ever been sung by a boy, and had he
never done anything else the rendition
of that piece would have made him ia
nous.
His salary is ten dollars per week; his
chorister clothes are given him, as well
as free tuition in music.-Chicago Inter

REVOLUTION IN SALVADOR.
Gunbeat Ordered to La Libertad to
Protect Americans.

NEW YORK, Dec 3O-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Salvador Is threatened with another
revolution. To protect American inter-
ests, the navy department, upon the re-
quest of the state department, has tele-
graphed orders to the gunboat Mari
eta, which Is at Mare Island, directing
her to proceed as soon as possible to
La Libertad, and remain until further
orders. The Importance OF this action
will be appreciated when it Is under
stood that the Marietta was being At
ted for service in Chinese waters. The
information upon which the state de-
partment acted came from John Jen-
kins, consul at San Salvador, who
cabled: THE condition Of affairs In
Salvador Is alarming; send warship"
The distance to La Libertad Is about
$500 miles, and it will be covered In
two weeks. The instructions to Com
mander Symonds require him upon ar
rival at La Libertad to communicate
with Mr., Jenkins and to take all meas
ures possible for the protection OF
American interests.
Washington, Dec. 30.--The navy de-
partment has ordered the gunboat
Marietta, now at Mare Island. to Sal
vador upon report from United States
Consul Jenkins that the situation in
that country was disturbed and threat
ening.

MARKET SUMMARY.

NEW YORK, Dec 30-Today's stock mar
ket was remarkably narrow and irregular,
the highly speculative securities absorbing
practically the whole of the limited dealings,
in which no one but professional room trad
ers took any part. There was no reflection
of any niws In the course Of prices. There
was evidence of large realizing in some OF
the securities of local corporations which
have recently been advanced by the buying
of a combination of interests. But the de-
clines thus effected in these stocks invited
buying again and restored the earlier losses,
in some cases carrying them essentially above
the previous level Metropolitan was the
most conspicuous in the group moving over
a range of over points. Manhattan moved
less extensively in sympathy. Consolidated
Gas fell points on the admitted failure Of
the attempted local gas combination, but
covering of shorts brought it back to last
nights close. The other specialties moved
with equal irregularity and their changes
on the day are small. Pennsylvania enjoyed
the benefit of current reports of heavy earn
ings by that company and touched 115, but
reacted on profit taking. OF stocks not usual
ly active Mobile Ohio and Buffalo, Roches-
ter Pittsburg came into prominence by
reason of advances of about points each,
otherwise changes were unimportant.
feature OF the DAY IN the street was the
vigorous strength of the foreign exchange
market, actual rates for sterling advancing
Is to II all around over yesterdays quota
ton. There is still some demand to satisfy
for remittances to Europe in payment Of
dividends and interest on American secur-
tiles held abroad coming due at the first Of
the year. Exchange bankers attribute the
strength of today's market to an investment
demand and this investment they say Is
based on prospects of cheaper local rates for
money A fall in the local rates for money
would lead to a renewal of the lending Of
the credits abroad. Nevertheless, there was
no evidence of softening in today's money
market no loans being reported at less than
8k per cent, and others being made at 4
per cent. The subtreasury was debtor at
the clearing house again today to the ex-
tent of over 100000, and the repletion of
the money market from that quarter is ex-
pected to continue until after the end Of
the year.
