BEWARE OF THE STRAP.
A Possible Source of Infection to Those
 Who Ride in Street Cars.

From the New York Sun.
 The connection between the microbe and the street car strap has frequently been discussed, and at least one recent instance has proved somewhat distress ingly that danger is likely to iurke in the piece of leather which helps to support so many women during the rush hours of the day. It was to pro- tect a fresh pair of white gloves that New York woman, compelled to stand, held her handkerchief inside the strap while going to the theatre. On the way home she was again compelled to stand, and once more the handker- chief came between her glove and the leather.
 Whether 1t was after that or during the evening at the theatre that she once thoughtlessly put the handker- chief to her face is a detail that she does not recall, but two days after wards a pain on her lip became so intolerable that she was compelled to see a ooctor, who found her suffering from incipient blood poisoning, which 1t was already too late for him to pre-. vent. The most that he could do was to watch her carefully through long attack of illness, which at one time threatened to end fatally.
 He attributed this to some poisonous substance which had passed to her handkerchief from the strap, and that was his diagnosis the moment he heard the story of the ride on the cable car She fortunately recovered, and her physician thinks that the present dis flgurement to her face which resulted from the necessity of an operation will not be permanent. The case has con vinced this physician, who Is man oi considerable experience in surgery of the dangers that turk in the street car strap.

GRIM JUSTICE.
Ferguson Made the Punishment Fit
 the Burglars Crime.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The noise made by the burglar in the Ferguson pantry, slight as it was, disturbed the slight sleeper in the bed room not far away and the midnight marauder was surprised a moment later to find himself covered with big revolver in the hands of determined looking man in a long, white robe.
 T hain't done nothin' but eat few cold victuals, mister," stammered the burglar.
 T see," sternly replied George Fer guson. You have been eating the re- mains of a strawberry shortcake my wife made for dinner last night Do you know what I am going to do with youT
 Turn me over to the police, s'pose," gasped the helpless thief
 Worse than that" said Ferguson. with ferocious grin. I'm going to make you eat. Q, quart of health food. it's a-new kind my wife heard of and fixed up for us yesterday, and it's pretty dry eating, but you'll eat every particle of it or I'll bore six holes through you. There it is in that big bowl turn yourself loose on 1t"
 With grim determination the indig- nant householder stood over him till 1t was finished, after, which he picked up the luckless scoundrel, who had fallen exhausted to the floor, and threw him out of the open pantry window.
 Tt may kill him." soliloquized MT. Ferguson somewhat remorsefully as he crawled back into bed without disturb >ing the rest of the family, "but man nefho breaks into another mans house Il &ee his life in his hand, anyway"
