GREAT DEMAND.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 22.-The
greatest wave of prosperity that has
swept over this city for years struck
Pittsburg this week. and there is not a
mill, factory or workshop that can be
found with idle men. Every mill and fac
tory is overcrowded with orders, and the
manufacturers in general are compelled
to make extensive arrangements to supply
the demand. Orders are being delayed
and customers in foreign cities are piling
in all kinds of complaints and using every
means possible to induce the manufac-
turers to ship their orders first.
The manufacturers say that never in
the history of this gigantic iron and glass
center were the demands for iron and
glass so great, and this demand is such
that those who are pressing their orders
cannot be supplied. Dealers are exceed
ingly anxious to get their orders filled
and in many instances, it is said, are
offering better prices for material in order
to induce prompt shipment.

Manila, February $3.50 a. M
Immense damage has been done by
fires, which are believed to have been
started by insurgents last night.
The fire department has experienced
great difficulty in fighting the flames
owing to the defective apparatus.
There was some fighting in thestreets
during the night, but the Americans
quickly quelled the uprising.
A number of the insurgents were kill
led and several American soldiers were
wounded.
A large market place was among the
first to burn.
Between six and seven hundred resi-
dences and business houses have been
destroyed.
Fires were started at several points
simultaneously and spreading with
great rapidity, resisted all efforts to
control them.
Hundreds of homeless natives are
huddled in the streets, making the
patrol duty of the Americans very diff
cult.

4 writer in Nature speaks Of the
cruel medical tyranny which banishes
the strawberry from Tie diet Of the
equity and quotes what Linnaeus had
to say about the curative properties Of
this delightful fruit This great nat
uralist was persuaded TO take strawber-
ries during q severe attack Of scladca'
with the result that sweet sleep en-
sued. and when he awoke the pain had
sensibly subsidized. On the next day he
ate as many strawberries as possible,
and on the following morning the pain
was gone and he was able to leave his
bed. Gouty pains returned at the same
date in the next year, but they were
dispersed as soon as Linnaeus was able
to get strawberries.
Although strawberries are forbidden
to the equity by some authorities by
others they are permitted, the fruit be-
ing regarded as a usefu! food FOR
gonty persons on account Of its rich
ness in the salts of potash. soda and
lime and its cooling. diuretic and laxa-
tive qualities. The analysis Of the
strawberry shows it to be particularly
rich In soda salts, and in spite Of the
high percentage Of water this fruit
excels all other common fruit in the
amount of mineral salts. The chem
tstry Of the strawberry. therefore,
would teach that this fruit is likely to
be beneficial in equity states.-Lancet.
