a Novel street organ.

A new style of street organ has
come to town, and as it is somewhat
Of novelty. the owner is reaping a
very respectable harvest, probably
from s. to S8 a day, and certainly far
more than is picked mp by manipulat-
ors Of the ordinary barrel organs
with which we are so familiar The
instrument is Of Paris make, and its
owner, a German, says that it cost
him S400, but that since his arrival in
this country, about three months ago,
he has more than half paid for it.
The sounds that emanate from the in
strument are, in point Of fact, a
very respectable imitation Of the
melody Of a small pipe organ, and this
is really what this is, being simply an
enlarged edition Of the usual blind
beggar's hurdygurdy. with the addi-
tion Of a set Of pipes The music is
produced by the movement Of strips
OF cardboard over a cylinder, the diff
ference between this and the smaller
instruments lying in the fact that the
cardboard is folded instead Of being
in rolls. The audiences that gather
seem TO fad more pleasure in the har
mony than in that Of the old-fashioned
street piano OF music box, and are
correspondingly liberal. The owner
received forty cents from one group
Of persons in ten minutes OF less

ment furnishes is large, and when it
comes 70 church music, the effect. II
one is not TOO critical, is really excel /

A singular bacterial disease proves
to be the cause Of decay Of ancient
metallic implements and other objects.
Il appears in the form Of small ex-
crescences or alterations, which be-
come the centres Of rapid oxidation,
and DR.. W Frazer, an Irish antigua
rian, finds that all antiques Of copper
or its alloys with tin are liable to be
infected. In bronze, remarkable dis
integration is produced, the metal be-
ing gradually reduced to an amorphous
powder. The disease is believed, with
great reason, to have infective powers,
spreading like leprosy through the
metal, aud even being conveyed 10
fresh surfaces from the affected spots
Counterfeiters have not overlooked
the spots Of bronze disease, from
which, it is asserted, they have inocu-
lated their false antiques to impart a
genuine appearance.

Professor J. b. Johnson, Of Wash
ington University, ST. Louis, has made
some interesting tests Of the behavior
Of iron or steel stirrups, as used for
hanging foor-beams from brick walls,
when exposed TO Ere, and finds that,
under such circumstances, they soon
become red-hot, and then burn their
way rapidly through the end Of the
beam, while, at the same time. they
soften and bend down, the result be-
ing that the beam drops out Of its
bearing in fifteen or twenty minutes
after the fire reaches it. Most archi-
tects are careful to see that such sup
porting members are fireproofed with
wire-lath and plaster; but il may be
we'll to call attention again to the inn
perative necessity for doing so.

Frigotherapy is stated to be already
in vogue at several places in Europe.
The treatment consists in standing the
patient, we'll protested with furs, in a
freezing box cooled to 200 degrees or
more below zero, this daily cold bath
being continued ten minutes. The
head is allowed to protrude from the
box, as breathing Of the intensely cold
air would be dangerous. The effect
is to powerfully stimulate the circula-
ton, creating an immediate and raven
ous appetite, and tending to banisb
dyspepsia aud various kidney and
liver diseases, as we'll as nervous ex-
haustion aud its attendant melancholy
and depression. The whole body is
aroused to vigorous action.

of the labor classes, and they have
multitude of matters which tend to-
ward that end.
This legislative committee will meet
in short time to make plans for the
work to be done during the next SEES
sion of the state lawmakers. They
will formulate and outline for their
labors in behalf of the organization
they represent and will put in all the
time during the session to bring about
the results which they think will bene-
fit the laboring people of Iowa.
! ]. H. Strict, of Sioux City, secretary
of the state federation, in speaking
of the committee and it's work recent
lily, said: "a number of important
questions are to come before this COM
mittee, questions that interest every
laboring man in Iowa. In the first
place the recommendations which
were made by the state convention
with reference to needed legislation
Twill be taken up. Chief among these
is that relating to convict labor. Every
honest laboring man is interested in
having the prison labor with its
scanty wage scale taken out of compe-
tition with legitimate labor.
1.-THE legislative committee was in
structed to draft bill prohibiting the
employment of children under the age
of IA years in mines, factories and
workshops and department stores.
There is also outlined a punishment
law in which some changes are made
from the present system of garnish-
ment of wages. The committee will
also plan the lobbying for BARRIERS

fishing of BARRIERS examination

1T is EXPENSIVE.
One Million in Filipino Import Duties
to be Refunded.

Washington, Dec. 8. The cabinet
meeting today was principally con-
sumed in a discussion of the insular
decisions handed down yesterday by
the supreme court. On the whole it
is believed the view of majority of
the court is satisfactory to the admin
istration. 1t was pointed out that the
ultimate results of the decisions are,
in measure, speculative, and that at
present, with the exception of Gus
toms duties collected in this country
on goods shipped from the PHILIPPINES
since the ratification of the Paris
treaty, such duties will have to be re.
funded 1t is not thought the aggre-
gate will be large; Secretary Gage ex.
poets it will be within S1000,000.
The peresent tariff now in the oper'
alton in the PHILIPPINES, Gage thinks
will need little or no revision. The
preparation of tariff on the Phillip
Inc importations into the United
States, however, is expected to con
sumo considerable of the time Of
congress.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
State Board of Health Makes Report
on Cases in Iowa.

Des Moines, Dec. DIR. John Shra.
der, of Iowa City, former president
and present member of the state board
of health, says that the people of the
state have some reason to feel some
concern about the smallpox situation
Not only is the prevalence of 1t alarm.
ing, but the cases show more severity
on the average than the cases in for
mer years. DR.. A. M. Linn, of Des
Moines, member of the board, who Wis
tied the smallpox infected Indians on
the Tama reservation, sounds LIE
same note of warning. The records
of Secretary Kennedy, at the capitol
building, give emphasis to the profess
sional opinions Of these physicians,
whose expressions have been made
within the last week. The records of
recorded smallpox cases show the fol
lowing statistics for the month OF No,
yember, not yet ended:
Seventy-two cases in forty-three To-
calities.
Three reports of several cases, in
three other localities.
Which makes fifty-two localities and
perhaps 200 cases.
In one locality sixteen families are
reported infected; in another six; II
still another, sixteen.
