WASP sTINGs.
People Who Have Died From the Eff
fects of Them.

fects OF Them.
In an article on the stings of wasps
British medical journal cites the two
| following eases which have come un-
der its notice: 4 strong, healthy girl Of
~ was stung on the neck by a wasp
and tainted. ON reganing conscious
ness she complained Of a general feel
ing OF numbness and partial blindness
and vomited She suffered severe alb
dominal pain. She recovered in the
course of a few hours. Two months
later she was stung again. this time on
the hand Her face became flushed.
she again complained of numbness and
blindness. suddenly became very pale.
tainted and died - minutes after she
was stung.
Another case was that Of a girl Of -
years. who was stung by wasp be-
hind the angle of tie jaw. The sting
was at once extracted and ammonia
applied. In few minutes she com
planned Of faintness and would have
fallen if she had not been supported.
Her face assumed an expression of
great anxiety. and a few minutes later
she was tossing on the bed complain
ing Of Il horrible feeling of choking
and Of agonizing pain in the chest and
abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There
was nausea, but no vomiting. She
rapidly became inSensIble ana died II
minutes after receiving the sting. The
most probable explanation Of such
cases seems To lie in what Is known as
idosyncrasy that is, abnormal sensi-
tiveness in particular individuals to
certain toxic agents. Ii Is we'll known
that drugs vary much in action on diff
ferent people. What is a safe dose for
one is dangerously large for another.
The inability of some people TO eat
strawberries or shellish Is another in
stance of the same phenomenon. The
active agent of bee stings is generally
believed TO be formic acid. 1t therefore
seems very desirable that we should
have more accurate information re-
garding the action of this drug on diff
ferent species of the lower animals
and through them on man himself

Not Portable.

During one of his expeditions In the
Philippines General Lawton came
across the trail of party of Filipinos,
which lie followed for several days
with a small body of troops. One day
he and his staff reached the top of a
small eminence and saw river stretch
ing below them but a short distance
ahead. Turning TO one of his aids, the
general said. Lieutenant, ride ahead
and see if that river is fordable"
The lieutenant put spurs to his horse
and soon entered the river. 4 few feet
from the shore the bottom shelved off
suddenly, and the horse was soon foun-
dering in deep water. The lieutenant
disengaged himself and swan to the
shore, which the horse also reached in
short time. After brief chase. TO
the amusement of the general and the
staff, the horse was recapturei, and
mounting him. the lieutenant rode back
His khaki uniform was soaked and
bedraggled. and the water spurted
from the tops Of his military boots at
every jump Of his horse. Riding up 10
the general, he gravely saluted and
said, Il have the honor to report, sir
that the river is not fordable"
Lawton locked at him a moment try
ing TO maintain the dignity Of his posi-
ton, but the situation was too ludi-
crous for him. He burst into a hearty
laugh in which the staff joined at the
expense Of the young lieutenant. WHO,
however, tells the story on himself.

Miss Mary Flood.

Died at the residence of her
brother Joseph Flood near town,
Saturday Dec. 7 aged SO years.
Miss Mary had been in bad health
for number OF years and for the
last few years of her life she was
an invalid.
The earlier years OF her life
were spent in teaching and many
of those who attended her schools
testify to many amirblc qualities
and lovely disposition. She was
a teacher in the Parochial school
in this parish.
Few were more devoted to her
church than Miss Mary and her
life was in harmony with the
teachings she espoused.
Two brothers Joseph and John
survive her.
The remains were inferred in the
Catholic cemetery at this place
Monday after services at the
church.

The Presbyterian Bazaar.

The annual event, The Bazaar,
held by the ladies Of the Presby-
terian church opened Wednesday
morning In the Moore building,
corner of 2nd. and Sturgeon
Streets. The room has been
turned into a bower Of beauty by
the cunning and artistic tastes OF
the ladics-cozy corners, Japa-
ncse tea gardens with all OF the
Japanese wares pertaining To
such--presidcd over by two of
our beautiful girls Misses Francis
Jordan and Fannie Stephens In
their Japanese costumes. The
teas and waters served by the
young ladies are very delicious
and is much appreciated, a. well
as the dainty cup and saucer
which Is your souvenir. The
candy booth with its white and
yellow decorations Is always an
interesting feature as well as the
long counter which follows, with
It's many articles Of fancy work,
bric-a-brac etc. Among the
dainty assortment OF handker-
chiefs we notice three especially :
one a donation from Mrs. Roosc-
welt, one from Mrs. Dockery and
one from a Brazilian Missionary.
The refreshments served are very
much enjoyed by all who have
partaken Of them. Every after
noon and evening some special
entertainment had been arranged.
On Wednesday afternoon was
given a beautiful drill by ten little
girls with their dolls. They were
drilled by Mrs. Mahree who cer-
tainly deserves much credit for
her work. The little girls were ;
Misses Emily Ferguson, Ruth
Sees, Lucille Mctzler, Margie
Mahree, Louzella Crandall, Mary
Elliott, Majorie Donaldson and
Scott. This drill was given Thurs
day night and was much enjoyed
by a large number Of witnesses.
Wednesday night the High School
Band discoursed much sweet
music. All who have not been,
should certainly go in and patron
ize these ladies to-day, as this Is
their last day. Here's to their
success.

lations and Friday that committee
unanimously voted to recommend
II for ratification. Senator Bur-
rows tells me that he believes the
measure will receive the vote OF
every Republican Senator and n
sufficient number of Democratic
votes to insure its passage. Sem

does not believe that there will be
any formal opposition by the DEM

The Isthmian Canal commission
favors the nicaraguan route, the
cost OF which is estimated at $751;
s6i, 1852. This canal will have to
be proveded with locks and will
be without harbor facilities at
either end. II is estimated that II
can be completed In eight years
and the total length would be 1873
miles. The cost of completing the
Panama canal is placed at siii,-
1855 and the amount required to
purchase the canal from the French
company 500, ,i4i, 900 although the
commission values the work done
at only $4,000, 900. In favor of
the Panama route 1t may be said
that It would be n sea level canal,
only forty-nine miles long, that II
has harbors at each end and that II
would cost $1,000, 900 per anpum
less to operate than the Nicaragua
canal. The commission unquali-
hcdly recommends the Nicaraguan
route and Senator Morgan has al
ready introduced his bill provid-
ing for Its construction.
In view OF the fact that at the cx-
piration of fifty years the original
cost Of the Nicaraguan route, plus
the increased cost OF maintenance
for that period, will have cqualed
the total cost OF the Panama route
II II were chosen and that subsc-
quent to that time the United
States would be relieved OF an an
nual expense Of 81 5000, 600; that
vessels would find n harbor at ell
ther end of the canal and that the
time consumed In travcrsing the
Nicaragua canal will amount to
thirty-thrcc houss as against
twelve hours for the Panama canal,
II would seem difficult to UNDER
stand the grounds on which the
commission recommends the for
mer route.
A further consideration should
not be lost sight OF however and
that Is that the French company
holds out for n price approximately
$40, ,000, 900 In excess OF the amount
at which the commission values
the work done. In view OF this
fact n reasonable surmisc is that
the commission and Congress in
tend to proceed with the prclimin-
aries looking to the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal with the
hope that It may induce the French
owners OF the Panama route to lis
ten to reason and accept the COM
missions valuation OF $4,000, 900
on their plant. II they can be in
duccd to do this the total cost of
the canal would not exceed, as
suming that the commissions es-
Inmates are correct, $3.50, 900, 900
and an annual saving OF 81, 5000, 900
would have been effected.

A man In his carriage was riding along,

In satin and lnce she looked like a queen,
And no like king In his pride.
A wood sawyer stood on the street as he passed,
The carriagc-thc couple he eyed;
And said, as he worked with his saw on a log,
wish l was rich and could ride
The man In the carriage remarked to his wife,
One thing would II could,
I'd give all my wealth for the strength and health

Whose face, as the morning, was fair,
Went tripping along with smile Of delight,
While humming a ovc-brcathng air.
She looked In the carriagc-thc lady she saw,
Arraycd in apparel fine,
And said In a whisper, I wish In my heart
These satins and laces mine.
The lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair In her calico dress,
And said I'd rclinquish position and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess.

Obituaries.

On Friday night. Dec. q departed
from our midst our beloved mother
and friend, Christine Lcnsing.
after a four-wccks serious Illness.
She was born In Hanover, Ger
many ~ yrs, o mo-, and da.,
ago, and came to this country at
the age OF ~. She leaves u broth
er, . children, % grandchildren
and II great grandchildren to
mourn her death. She was laid to
rest by the side OF her husband,
relatives and friends at the Rhine
land cemetery.
She has departed from our vis-
ion but she has not from our mem
ory. She will be remembered till
the last one that ever knew her
joins her peaceful rest, and then
may her kind deeds be told to the
coming generation.
She was In every way kind
and loving mother, true TO her
many friends.
Often she neglected herself by
the kind thought she had for 9TH
ers. Yes, the love to her dear
ones has wrought In their hearts as
deep a love in return. And what
will do suffering heart more
good than to know that she was
loved by all?
What II n mothers first duty
but to win the love and respect of
her children Aud, what greater
honor may mother leave but the
love OF her children
What greater pleasure may II
mother behold than the love OF
her children for hcr2
AMI, having this pleasure the
last sad hours Of her life were
frightened; now In peaceful and
eternal sleep, snconcious Of the
deep MORNINGS Of her beloved.
May the kind deeds OF her long
life full Of both pleasures and sor-
sows, be remembered by all that
evor knew her.
May relatives and friends now
decorate the cool and silent grave
OF their once beloved.
The sweetest name on earthly
rounds,
The sweetest word that to us
sounds
IL mother.
Yes. none so deep and soft;
Yes, none so rich In thought
AS mother.

Captured bv the Beers.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated
from Pretoria, says: Three officers and
sixty-fve men. who were sent north of
Ladybrand Orange River Colony, on the
right of Elliot's columns, were surround
ed on unfavorable ground and captured
by a superior force. One man was killed
and four were wounded. The prisoners
were released. Have received a long let
ter from Steyn, containing an argumen-
tative statement of the Boer case and
saying he will continue the fight; also a
short letter from De Wet to the same
effect. Botha writes acknowledging the
receipt of my proclamation and protest
ing against it, and stating that the Beers
intend to go on fighting. On the other
hand, the surrenders lately have in
creased considerably"
Gen. Delarey, who has issued procla
nation declaring that the Beers have nc
intention of giving up the struggle, is one
of the most active of the Transvaal lead
ers and his proclamation will no doubt
have the effect of encouraging friends of
the Boer cause in Cape Colony.
