A New Disease.

A Sunbury physician says he has a
number Of cases of mastoiditis or cpl
demic of earache, the result Of trou-
matism or exposure to cold. 1t is a
complication and is most prevalent
during influenza epidemics. In the
latter case, at least, it is probable that
a bacterial infection occurs through
the eustachian tube from the respira-
tory passages. The symptoms of
acute mastoiditis is accompanied with
pain in the ear. Though slight and
annoying at first it becomes violent
and exhaustlng as the disease pro-
gesses. After few days the tongue
becomes coated and the temperature
elevated two or three degrees. If
there are periostitis there are also
tenderness, redness and swelling above
the mastold region or behind and
around the ear. Pain is sometimes
referred to the temporal above the
ear, supra orbital above the eye. The
disease is epidemic not only in that
but other localities. If not treated
promptly it may cause assesses, and
and even deafness of considerable
duration.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The family of John Crebbs, of
Jamison City, had narrow escape
from death by fire early Friday morn
ing. While every member of the
household was fast asleep, fire broke
out. and before its presence was dis
covered, burned away the steps, shut
ting off the only avenue of escape,
except one, that of jumping from the
second-story windows. Unmolested,
the flames cropt higher and higher,
until the cracking noise awoke Mr..
Crebbs. He leaped from his bed,
opened the door leading to the kitchen,
only to be driven back by the angry
element. Realizing that there was
no time to be lost, he descended to
the ground, sliding down one Of the
veranda posts, hastily secured lad
der, and placing it at the window of
the room in which his family was
asleep, awoke and rescued them just
in the nick of time. The building,
with all its household effects, was
completely burned up. There was
an insurance, but it is an Insignificant
amount compared to the loss.

New Three Gent Pieces.

A bill has been passed by congress
providing for the coinage of the 3-cent
piece which was discontinued some
years ago. To remove the objection
attached to the old coin, viz: the mis-

be unique. 1t is to be made of nickel
the size of the bronze cent although
thicker. In the center is to be hole
one fourth OF an inch in diameter.

The new vault in the Blooms

ism and workmanship Of the doors

construction of the vault weighs
nearly thirty tons We inadvert-
emily last week gave the weight OF
the doors and vestibule as that of
the whole vault. To unload and
handle the one large piece required
the greatest skill and judgment, as
a single mistake might have wreck
ed the building and landed the mass
of steel in the cellar. The work is
