DANvIILE TOBACCO MARKET.
Receipts Large and the Leaf Selling
High.

Danville, Va, Jan. 3O.-The leaf tobacco
market during the past week caught
something of the Wall Street speculative

time since 1892.

GUARDING AGAINST SMALLPOX.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 30.-Extraordinary
precautions are being taken against small
pox in Virginia, and even the small towns
and some of the counties are providing for
general vaccination and making it COM

road has established its own system of in

Hat Tricks by VI. P.'s.

That members of parliament should
be allowed to wear their hats in the
house has often surprised foreign Wis
itors to the historic chamber.
1t is lucky for great many members
that the rules of debate, while demand
ing the wearing of hat, make no pro-
visions as to the character the headgear
shall take. The obvious result is that
the variety of parliamentary hats is
wonderful and vast.
But it is not SO much the character
of parliamentary hats as the manner
in which they are worn that is of in
terest. Some truly marvellous balanc-
ing feats are performed with hats dur
ing every session.
A. J. Balfour and the Duke of Devon
shire can balance their hats in the
bridge of their noses as if they had
been weaned practicing the feat. The
Duke of Devonshire is especially clever
in this way, and it is very difficult to
say whether he is not doing peacefully
behind the ample brim tilted over his
nose.
1t has been said that the leader Of the
house Of commons deliberately sets a
trap for his adversaries by pretending
to sleep in the shadow Of his hat brim,
so they may fall into error and he can
pounce upon them.
Another wonderful trick is that per-
formed by Tim Healy, who balances
. the front brim of his hat upon the
bridge of his pincenez in way few
men could accomplish the task. 1t is
one of the unmistakable signs that
trouble is brewing in the immediate
neighborhood Of Mr.. Healy's seat. 1t
practically amounts to an ultimatum
to the government, one which the
party whips must not ignore.-London

Something About 80 600 Elk

The order of Elks is diffused
throughout the whole country, says
Leslie's Weekly. 1t originated in New
York City in 1867, its founder being
Charles A. Vivian, ballad singer. 1t
was at first restricted to members Of
the theatrical profession and to sing
ers. In the beginning it had only
thirteen members. It's scope. however.
soon broadened, and it admitted other
persons besides those to which it was
at first confined. A social organization
at the outset, it developed into a be-
nevolent order having lodges in every
State, and having on its rolls represen-
tatives Of all the professions. First
calling itself the Jolly Corks." it
then adopted the name Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks. 1t is one of
the most popular of all the fraternal
orders OF the United States, as is
shown by its rapid increase in mem
bership and the growth of the surplus
in its treasury. The reports at st.
Louis showed that there was a gain of
II, 1877 members in the order during the
past twelve months, the present mem
bership being 55,439. This is the
largest increase ever made in any one
year. Ohio leads in number of mem
bers, which is 1884, followed, in this
order, by Pennsylvania, New York,
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa. New Jersey,
Minnesota, Massachusetts. Virginia.
Kentucky, Wisconsin, Colorado, Cali
fornia. Illinois, Washington, Missouri
and Connecticut. The other States of
the Union have less than 1000 mem
bers. The largest individual lodges
are, in this order, in New York City
$50 members), Grand Rapids. Jack
son, Michigan; Baltimore, Allegheny,
Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis and
Pittsburg. All these lodges and no
others have over 500 members.

No sooner had the new dynasty been
rounded in 1892 than literature receive
ed new impetus through the revival
OF Confucianism and the study of the
ancient classics. The inconsistencies.
which had become the repositories of
the scholarship of the land, were filled
with the unintelligible jargon of Budd-
hlsm, and literature was almost wholly
confined to its ritual. But now schools
were being established. books were be-

Of the arch, being 'cylindrically concave

The printer, sitting cross-legged be-

a soft brush, after which sheet of pa
per was lightly laid upon the form. A

the porus paper with the right hand,
and the left removed the printed page.
In this way it was possible to strike off

Saved From Bear by Soap Powder

Saved From Bear by Soap Powder.
Carl Livernole, German peddler,
had lively encounter with a small
brown bear in the woods south Of
Brackney, Pa, few days ago, in
which, for the first time in history, a
mans life was saved by the use of soap
powder. Last winter bear tracks were
seen in the neighborhood, but hunters
failed to discover bruins whereabouts.
Livernole was going along the dug
road when there was crashing in the
bushes beside the path, and brown
bear plunged through the brush and
rearing on his hind legs stared at the
peddler.
Flight was his first thought, but his
legs are stiffened with rheumatism,
and he realized he would take second
money in a race with bruin. The bear
blinked savagely and advanced slowly.
Quickly unstrapping his pack Liver
mole took out several packages OF soap
powder, and opening them dashed the
contents into bruins face. For mo-
ment the act surprised his bearship.
Then he let out howl of rage and be-
gan paving the air and trying to rub
his eyes. Taking advantage of this
occupation Livernole left his pack and
plunged into the brush and escaped.
Later he obtained wagon and drove
TO the scene. recovering his goods. He
could see where the animal had rolled
on the ground in agony, but did not at
tempt to track him to his den.

An enthusiastic amateur photograph
er of PhOenixville, Pa, is Marion Lyt-
tons. His pride has been a rather
costly camera, which when not in use
he kept in a third-story room OF his
home. For over a week Mr.. Lyttons
was too busy otherwise to take pic
lures, but finally he decided to go out
and secure some views. When he
picked up his camera he was surprised
to find a half dozen bees flying about
it. AS he proceeded through the room
with the camera in his hand whole
army of the insects came in line out
of small opening in the black box
cover. Then the owner placed the
camera on a table and started an in
vestigation, which he gave up when
the truth flashed upon him that a
swarm of bees, which had come in
through the open window, had made a
hive out OF his camera. The bees have
been dismissed as tenants. but the
camera will have to be overhauled be-
fore any more views can be taken.
