Lockjaw's Many Victims.

The present remarkable prevalence OF
lockjaw or tetanus, as II is technically
named, is attracting wide attention. as is
also the lately discovered method of treat
ing the disease by injections OF serum, a
most difficult and delicate operation. and
one attended by great danger to the pa
tent Most of the recent deaths have been
of children, from six to fourteen years old,
but there have been number OF deaths or
adults well, and in almost every instance
the disease has been directly traceable 10
what Were at the time considered but slight
wounds, inflicted either by the premature
discharge or careless handling OF blank
cartridge toy pistols, says the New York
Tribune today.
Tetanus in countries of temperate climate
is almost invariably caused by a wound or
injury, but in tropical localities IL may oc-
cur without any injury, either internal or
external. The disease first manifests it,
self by painful, rigid contraction OF the
voluntary muscles of the body without re-
taxation, and most constantly occurs in
connection with a wound in the hands or
feet, especially one made by a gunshot.
The size of the wound bears no proportion
to the injury, and in many cases recently
lockjaw has supervened after the wound
which caused il had apparently healed. No
matter where the sufferer may have been
wounded. the indications of the disease
usually show themselves by a stiffness OF
the muscles of the jaw, causing difficulty In
opening the mouth, and which soon in
creaSes to lock1aw. The neighboring mus
cles become contracted and the features be-
come drawn and the teeth exposed. giving
to the face a peculiar expression that Is
known as risus sardonicus. The rigidity ex-
tends to the neck, chest back abdomen and
eNtremities and the greatest agony follows
As the disease seizes on the respiratory
muscles, asphyxiation is frequent. Lock-
jaw was formerly regarded as fatal out Of
recent years many discoveries have been
made In connection with IL, and the newly
discovered serum treatment has at times
been successful. Lockjaw is known to be
prevalent in certain localities, and is quite
common in parts of Long Island.

WAGES FOR TIN PLATE WORKERS.
They Will Receive Fifteen Per Cent
Advance Over Last Year.

Bars instead of billets and a ratio of one
seventh instead of one-fifth was agreed
upon last night at the conference in Chi
cago between members of the Amalga-
mated Iron and Steel Association and rep
resentatives of the American Tin Plate
Company as the basis from which the slid
ing wage scale of the tin plate works will
be figured for the coming industrial year.
The abandonment of billets as a basis from
which to do the figuring and the substitu-
ton of tin plate bars in their stead was
decided on as the more equitable from
the fact that the bars do not enter into SO
many items of finished steel products. The
change of ratio was simply a necessary de-
tail attending the change of base. The
change is an important one, and each item
in the long list of details going to make
up the new scale had to be gone over care
fully by both sides before any Roadway
could be made toward its adoption.
The long conference will I'm all likelihood
end tonight and the mills of the American
Tin Plate Company will resume operations
next Monday. The advance which the men
will secure over last years scale of wages
will figure out about Is per cent IL the pre-
dictiens made last night hold good at to.

Mime. Rostand Helps.

Olga Nethersole says that Edmond
Rostand is to write his next new play
for her. For years Miss Nethersole has
felt that she could reach to the highest
point if she only could get a sufficiently
strong play. Now the drama and the
woman seem about to arrive together
1t is interesting to hear at first hand of
the personal appearance of SO important
an individual as Rostand, and Miss
Nethersole describes him tersely as a
brilliant entertaining man, who af-
fects the dress of the period of 1910.
Then, true to her long time attitude Of
favor toward her sex, she adds. "Mme.
Rostand, the wife of the author, is an
exceedingly refined woman, and it is
generally understood in Paris that it is
to her M. Rostand is indebted for the
marvellous delicacy and beauty of many
of the lines of 'Cyrano, notably in the
love scene. Chicago Tribune.

No Big Game In Porto Rico.

In Porto Rico there is no big game,
says the Boston Herald. The only large
animal is the wild goat. which is found
In the beautiful mountain country in
the interior of the island, and these are
too much like the trained "billies that
are harnessed to children's goat carts
to be mistaken for the wild creatures
of the woods. But, ON the other hand
there is an infnitude of bird life espe-
cially from November until February.
Nearly every bird which flies south up
on the American continent finds its
way to the marsh lands or forests of
Porto Rico The wild goose and turkey,
duck and ortolan are visitors as regular
as the sunrise and the spring. So rich
is sport in the interior that already a
movement is ON foot among the hunt
ers of the north to open number of
camps in Arecibo and Ponce and to
establish big game preserve many
miles in extent.

Fighting Gloves.

Fighters, as rule, are particular
about the gloves they wear in the ring,
says the New York Sun Some of them
insist upon having heavily padded
thumbs because of the habit of landing
swings with the side of the hand in
stead of with the back and knuckles.
Others desire tough material around the
wrists. so that the danger of sustaining
sprains may be reduced to minimum.
The idea of having leather grips in the
palm Of glove is also popular because
it enables the wearer to close his fist
with much mere irmness than if the
glove is without such things. Pugilists
who have powerful hands dislike toe
much padding and frequently "break'
the hair by doubling the gloves up and
sitting on them. Fitzsimmons, Corbett,
Eharkey and other noted boxers wea1
gloves made according to their own
ideas and refuse to wear any others.

Krupp's Generosity.

Herr Krupp, the gun king of Essen,
has just made another gift of 500, 900
marks to the pension fund of his work
men, thus raising it to 1 500, 900 marks
($363, 750). To be employed at the
Krupp works is the highest goal of a
German workman, for he is then not
alone well treated and well paid-no
such thing as strike ever having
threatened the works-but he is well
provided for all his life. Krupp employs
altogether, including the new shipyards
he has started in Kiel, some 80, 600
men. His accumulated fortune. includ-
ing, of course, that of his father and
grandfather before him, is estimated at
about $50, 600. 900 marks 1886, 375, 000),
and for his workmen and higher en-
ployees he has, besides, spent about 90, =
600, 600 marks. He pays the largest in
come tax of any man in Germany
about 1 ,750, 600 marks year.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Welsh Rabbit, Boston Style-A Hanging
Cupboard-An Ornamental
Music Rack.

A very reliable Welsh rabbit that
comes from Boston is this; Cut into
small pieces in the chatting dish one
pound fresh American cheese. AS it
commences to melt add tablespoonful
of butter, a half teaspoonful salt and a
suspicion of red pepper. Mix well; put
in half cupful Of cream; stir until
smooth; then add two well beaten eggs,
beating rapidly for moment SO they
will not curdle Put cover on and let it
rest over the fame two or three seconds
Put out the fame and let it stand two
or three seconds without stirring. Then
serve on delicately Drowned slices Of
toast. Another rule is as follows:
Grease the chatting dish with a little
butter. Put in half pound 1.-TWO cups)
of soft American cheese and as it
melts add, little by little, three to five
tablespoonfuls of beer, ale or milk. 1t
is claimed that those who suffer from
indigestion after eating rabbit could
have avoided it if they had used lit
tie bicarbonate of soda in making it,
as the acid acts upon the cheese, light
ening it, breaking it up and making it
more digestible. If in making it it be-
gins to string, a pinch of soda will re-
store it to its creamy condition. Some
English people, in addition to soda, use
bit of asafetida, about what would
go on cent piece When the cheese
is creamy, pour on crackers or toast.
Still another authority on the rabbit
and this you may be sure is man
stipulates that the bottom of the chatting
dish be rubbed with Glove of garlic,
and that for pound of good old Eng
fish dairy cheese a tablespoonful of
catchup and tablespoonful of worces-
tershire sauce should be added before
the ale or beer -four tablespoonfuls) is
poured in.

Baseball Incidents.

"a game of baseball was once inter-
rnpted in Lincoln, Neb., says an old
follower of the game, "by chase of a
rabbit by Charlie Farrell while playing
left field. Another laughable incident
happened in Philadelphia, when Tom
Mccarthy was playing with the Bos-
tons. A rat ran into his territory, and
Mac ran after it. Herman Long hap
pened to have new ball in his hands,
and as the rat was running by the field
or took such good aim that he killed it,
George Wright tells of rabbit Incl
dent that took place while he was play
ing with the Cincinnati Reds years ago.
Asa Brainerd was pitching, and three
men were on the bases The rabbit ran
across the infeld, and Waterman, the
third baseman, made grab for it, but
1t jumped clean over his shoulder.
BIainerd threw the ball at it, and the
base runners took the opportunity to
gain the extra base while the spectators
were convulsed with laughter. -

A Music Rack.

In these days, when economy of space
is of primary Importance in furnishing
a room, especially in fiat, the ques-
ton frequently arises how one piece of
furniture can best be made to serve the
purposes of two. A hint as to how a
useful and ornamental music rack can
be put at the back of piano will not
come amiss
The first thing needed to make the
music rack are three thicknesses of
bamboo, which can be purchased for so
cents. By having the framework OF
bamboo there is nothing to affect the
sound or spoil the tone of the instru-
ment.
The largest bamboo makes the up
rights which have to carry the cross
bars, the next in size forms these bars,
while the smallest serves for the bot
toms and sides of the various divisions.
The framework should be arranged tc
take the music lengthwise.
The best way to put bamboo together
is to make holes in the larger pieces
and let in the smaller ones, gluing then
in position. For the sides only few
pieces will be required, some three inch
es apart, and these may be let in, OIL
they may be tackled on from the inside
with fine French nails For the bot
toms of the divisions it will be enough
to let in a few crosspieces or tack then
on like the side pieces, or one can tacl
over a thin piece of wood. New Yorl
Herald.

most bicycle improvements are now
artistic. Bicycle adjustable handle bars
are practically universal. Never before
have SO many or such good bars been
submitted to riders. With neat designs
and having practical utility behind
them very little is to be desired. A
number of bicycle makers use bars of
their own design, while the increase in
the number of handle bar makers who
supply the trade is large.
