as follows: Govt in the United States

generally supposed. Out of 13,400
medical cases admitted to Dr. Os.

or 0.24 per cent of the total number
of cases. For the same number of
years at st. Bartholomew hospital
there were 116 govt cases out of q

Since the awarding ON July 16, OF
the first special semi-monthly prize
In the Auditorium stock contest at
Omaha, interest in 1t has been in
creasing rapidly. The prize, which
was contributed by the employing
printers OF Omaha, was $160.50 cash
and was won by Ed. J. Hamilton OF
Wilsonville, Neb. The money form
ing the special semi-monthly prizes is
made up Of gold. silver, nickel, copper
and paper money. and then divided
and put into two sacks without be-
ing counted. Mr.. Hamilton's guess
was 1898. which was the closest
to the amount $132.54-in the larger
Of the two sacks.
August l the Commercial prize,
contributed by members Of the Omaha
Commercial club, will we awarded to
the person guessing the closest to the
amount in the larger of the two sacks
into which 1t has been divided. Each
special prize Is not less than $50, nor
more than $500. and under the plan
adopted there is absolutely no one
who can tell what amount Is in the
larger sack until after It Is unsealed.
Aside from the special semi-monthly
prizes, however, there Is great
deal Of interest being taken in
the Auditorium stock contest
This could hardly fail to be the
case when there are 1,001 prizes
hung up, headed with the $4,000
cash prize given by the Defiance
Starch Co. Of Omaha, and the
stock tickets are only twenty-five
cents. OF course only one person will
win the $4,000, and only one person
will win a $500 house and lot in
Omaha, but 500 other persons will
also win prizes, every one of which
will be worth many times the price
OF a guess. Persons securing tickets
row also have, free. an extra guess
on the next special semi-monthly
prize.
The regular prizes will be awarded

A number of prominent men OF
Trenton, N. j., are now giving fancy
prices for dead mems pennies. These
are found in the graves of the old
First Presbyterian churchyard, where
Col. Rohl, the Hessian commander,
land others who were with him in the
celebrated battle of Trenton, were
buried.
Excavations were necessary to
building the foundation of new choir
gallery. The bones of long-buried dead
have been disturbed and are to be
reinterred. In these graves have been
found the pennies which have become
valuable for keepsakes and pocket
pieces. The men who have found
these pennies are not saying much
about them, because Of the fear that
those in authority may compel the
finders to hand the coin over and re-
bury, according to the old-time Ger
man custom when coin was thrown
into the grave.
The general supposition is that these
pennies were buried with the Hessians
slaughtered in the battle of Trenton

Dust.Borne Disease.

In the discussion at the recent con-
gress of surgeons in Berlin on the
first aid to the wounded on the bat.
tlefield it was brought out by Burns,
Bartelsmann and others that the dan
ger in modern warfare is not SO much
from primary infection by the small.
caliber projectile of rapid-fire rifles
as from secondary infection by con-
tamination of the wound from the
clothing or the dust of the battle
field. The effort of the field surgeon
is therefore more to exclude septic
and tetanus germs than to disinfect
the wound. But to come nearer home,
the danger of dust is emphasized by
the report that New York City has
over $50 street sweepers on the sick
list with diseases due to the inhala-
ton of Infectious dust. A number of
affections are SO commonly conveyed
in dust as to merit the designation
of dust diseases" OF these cerebro-
spinal meningitis is Of frequent oc-
currence in cities during the spring

Don't Couuh-Take Honey.

Starch and sugar, when eaten, un'
dergo digestive change before they
are assimilated. In honey this change
has been made to considerable ex-
tent by the bees. 1t is easy of as
sanitation and concentration, and fur
nishes the same element of nutrition
as sugar and starch-imparts warmth
and energy.
AS a medicine honey has great value
and many uses. It is excellent in
most lung and throat affections, and
is often used with great benefit in
place of codliver oil. Occasionally
there is a person with whom it does
not agree, but most people can learn
to use 1t with beneficial results.
Children, who have more natural
appetites, generally prefer it to but
ter. Honey is laxative and sedative.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulant, without the injurious ef-
fects.
AS an external application it is ir-
ritating when pure, and soothing when
diluted. In many places it is much
appreciated as remedy for Group
and colds. In preserving fruit, the
formic acid it contains makes bet.
ter preservative than sugar-syrup,
and it is also used in cooking and
confectionery.

Two in a Window.

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. COD
When got on the street car at Elev-
enth street l accidentally seated my
self within hearing distance OF an ami
mated conversation. At first the
waves of sound that assaulted my
ears were mere irritating noises, but,
unconsciously, grew interested.
In the principal talker | recognized
a visitor to the national convention OF
The Daughters of Rachel, then meet
ing in our city. She was big, ford
woman, whose ample bosom was
vast pin-cushion stuck full of various
colored badges and designs. She
wore a bird of paradise on her big
velvet hat and lemon-colored gloves on
her fat hands. The other woman was
angular and tall, and dressed IN
black; in the matter of insignia she
contented herself with only the little
gilt pitcher hung by blue ribbon that
was the delegates badge.
From the conversation judged that
they were old friends-possibly cous-
ins-and met now, in strange city,
for the first time in years.
"And when was all this?" asked the
thin Rachel.
"A year ago, come May" answered
the fat one. "Twas during our street
fair. AS was saying, Agnes said she
wouldn't do it for nothing in the
world; so there they were-her pa
begging her and promising her every.
thing you could think of from diamond
earrings to refrigerator; or threat
ening to cut her off with sixpence. But
knew from the set to Agnes mouth
she wasn't going to do it. She's got
a mouth just like her pas. l felt real
sorry for Mr.. Fox. too"
Il don't think he could have ex-
pected his daughter TO be married In
his store window" interrupted the
thin Rachel, "he ought to have given
it up when he couldn't get anybody
else"
you don't know Mr.. Fox" rejoined
the other, "he never gives up anything.
OF course he hadn't any idea, when he
advertised for couple, that somebody
wouldn't come, being as how he offered
such grand parlor furniture to the
one would do it. But when Monday
come and no couple and the wedding
promised for Thursday, then he got
scared and told Agnes he was going
to fall back on her If nobody else
turned up, being as how she was going
to be married in q month, anyhow.
Agnes took on awful about 1t, she
was a tender hearted little thing and
she hated to go against her pa; but
she wouldn't give in for long time"
"You don't mean to say she gave
In at last?" asked the thin Rachel.

whether she did or not" responded the
stout one doubtfully. Wednesday

set for Thursday at one o'clock-well
Wednesday morning at breakfast her
pa said, real stern-like, Agnes, I'm

SOLDIERS OF KNOWLEDGE.
Men Who Sacrifice Everything That
Science May be Advanced.

Men Who Sacrifice Everything That
Science May be Advanced.
The blood Of every investigator into
the secrets of science must tingle
while reading the stories which come
from Martinique of intrepid men who
are daring so much that the worlds
knowledge may be increased.
There Is Prof. Hill, who was the
first to ascend the slope Of Mont Pelee
and who did succeed in passing over
Morne Rouge.
Tales have come of newspaper cor
respondents who have dug through
lava and ashes to the most dangerous
points Of the eruption.
Finally and most notable Of all Is
the feat Of Prof. Angelo Heilprin in
being the first to examine the vol
cano from the edge of the crater.
A peculiar quality of bravery is
required in thus forcing the confines
of danger to secure information. OF
the scientists, none receives a large
salary. Whether in the government
service or working for private organi-
cations, the scientific Investigators
compensation is comparatively small.
Yet such is the loyalty to work that
nothing daunts them. The soldier on
the field of battle can lay claim to
no greater courage than that of the
scientists who have Distinguished
themselves in Martinique. That for
tune has been kind to most of them
is cause for rejoicing. The informa-
ton which has been gathered in this
most remarkable volcanic disturbance
should be of inestimable service to
future Investigators.
Their york has not been fruitless.
They are giving suggestions regarding
the establishment of stations in the
volcanic zone which, If carried out,
may save lives which would otherwise
be sacrificed to the overwhelming
eruptions. Their bravery and sincere
devotion to reasonable inquiry in the
present calamity have commanded the
admiration of the world.
