Guy Q. Nickery. the jeweler, has a
way OF his own. for doing things. He
evidently believes that when it is worth
while to make a clearance sale, ii is
best to do it with a vim and make
prices that cannot help but stir the
blood of the public. His large clearance
sale ad. Of clocks is a specimen of his
advertising and it will be seen to cover
every style one can desire at exceed

PANICS IN MANILA.
Curious Stnmpcdes Preceding the
Recent Battle.

(From the Kansas City Journal)
All of the recent letters from Manila re-
fer to the panics which seized the inhab-
| itants of the city at frequent intervals
during the days just preceding the recent
| battle. One of these stampedes is thus de-
scribed by Captain Elliott, of the Coffey-
vile Company in the Twentieth Kansas:
About 2 o'clock the natives and Chinese
were observed to be running in every direc-
tion. Presently the soldiers began to come
from every avenue in the direction of the
barracks. They moved. quickly. but with
remarkable coolness and steady demeanor.
Corporal Baber. whom l had sent on an err
rand near the barracks of the First Bat
talon. came to my room, saluted like the
good soldier that he Is. and said: Cap
tain, there is something wrong going on in
the city; the natives are fairly flying in
all directions, the Chinese are running like
rats 10 their holes, and the stores are be-
ing closed
from men who had been in different parts
of the city. The call to quarters was
sounded. the rolls were called. and every
man of my company not on duty answer
ed Here" The same was true of the
other companies of our battalion. Two
or three officers were caught away from
home. and did not get in on good time
On the Escolta, at the Bridge OF Spain,
and in the walled city the scene that fol-
lowed was beyond my powers of descrip-
ton. No one seemed to be aware of the
cause of the stampede. l never witnessed
anything like it in my life. The wave
of excitement swept ever the entire city
after the manner of a cyclone. The street
cars were jammed together in groups; car
rabos' carts piled up against one another,
and barricaded the narrow streets; quilez
we're interlocked, overturned and their
occupants thrown out; doors andw shut
ters were closed and barred; men. women,
and children ran hither and thither and
crowded and jostled one another in their
frantic efforts to escape some dreadful,
direful, impending calamity.
The soldiers alone behaved with admi-
rable coolness. Guards were doubled and
trebled. In an incredibly short space OF
time platoons of infantry were thrown
across each approach to the great bridge,
and no one but soldiers afoot were allowed
to pass. Armed men took possession of the
Escolta and the avenues leading thereto,
and used their persuasive powers to
calm the storm and bring order out of
chaos. American courage and a display of
American sense and judgment prevailed.
in less than an hour the "whirlwind" had
passed and trade and traffic were resum-
ed The question with the soldiers was,
What in the - was il all about, any
way?"

Tho spotted Apple free Borer.

SAPphS 4EGe bOTeE'
A very similar insect to the round
headed borer. both in appearance and
IN habits Is the spotted apple-tree Dor
er (Saperda cretata). The adult beetle
Is OF nearly the same size and form as
the round-headed borer, differing SUI
p~erhclally by having two white spots
on each elytron instead of the longitud-
mai white lines which distinguish the
latter. The larva and pupa are so sim
mar that no description need be made
OF them. Although the species has a
talrly wide distribution, corresponding
somewhat closely to that of the COM
mon species, specific injury by it has
only been noted in two states, In Mich
lgan by Prof. A. ]. Cook and in Iowa
by Prof. H.. Osborn. In the former
state this borer is reported as quite as
common and destructive as Saperda
candida. Its occurrence is also record
in Canada, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Ohio, and there are
specimens in the National Museum also
from Northern Illinois and Texas. 1t
only been observed ~injuring apple
and wild crab, but it's occurrence has
been noted on June-berry and
thorn. According to Osborn the eggs
are evidently laid in pairs, half an inch
or more apart, along the branch, the
larvae OF each pair upon Matching
