SURE CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

The sisters in charge of St Josephs Female Orphan asylum are in receipt of many letters daily from persons who seek information concerning the prep aration which is believed by the sisters to be a preventive against smallpox and all other contagious diseases A few physicians are among the inqur- CTS. small proportion of these having decided to try the medicine.
 ''These drugs have been in use by us for sixty years" said one Of the sisters "In all that time we have not had one ease of smallpox in our institution. The prescription was obtained by Mother Gongaza more than sixty years ago from a minister in Germantown He got it from q doctor in Paris, who used it with great success during an cpl demic of smallpox there
 "The prescription is one grain solid extract digitalis. one grain sulphate of zinc. one-half teaspoonful of sugar, four ounces of water. Dissolve the digitaIis and the zinc separately, then compound the prescription.
 .'It is of the utmost importance that the solid extract of digitalis be used. Some druggists say there is no such thing. and use the liquid preparation. This is valueless. It does not produce the same results.
 "The dose is one teaspoonful every hour for twelve consecutive hours for an adult. For an infant. ten drops for the same length of time, and for chil- dren under 10 years. one-half teaspoon fuI hourly for twelve hours.
 We usually repeat this treatment once a month when smallpox is epi- demic It is the best medicine. we think. in cases of smallpox The face may be bathed with it, thus preventing scars. I know of one case in which Q man sent for the medicine, as his wife had smallpox. She took 1t all night. the eruption having almost disappeared in the morning.
 "The digitalis kills the germs of con tagious disease that may be in the sys- tenn. The zinc purifies the blood. Some doctors object to the digitalis, because

 Some people complain that it makes them sick. This is because their sys- tems are not in good condition.

 We have 130 children here now. When one is brought we give her the medicine promptly. Although they come from all over the city, we never have a contagious disease within our doors. s.''-Philadelphia North American.

LEAPED FROM WINDOW.
Man Whose Mind is Believed to Be
Diseased is Badly Hurt.

After suffering two nights Of mental tor
ture Louis Bergman, colored, jumped from
sthe third story of house 1920 street north
west and was seriously injured. He made
the leap about 3 O'Clock this morning, for
no reason other than that he imagined he
was pursued by a ghost. About the same
time yesterday morning he imagined three
colored burglars were in the house. The
police We're appealed to at that time, and
the mans conduct made 1t evident to them
that his mind was disturbed Bergman
Ieaped from the window this morning when
he thought the ghosts were about to grab
him. and he was SO badly frightened that
he hardly realized that his right arm and
leg had been broken until a policeman came
along and summoned the ambulance. He
then for the first time discovered his con-

him and was satisfied that he had mar

Habits Of the Sturgeon.
From the New York Tribune


The big sturgeon which died at the
aouarium recently was not the only speci-
men there on exhibition. There are two or
three more swimming about in the tanks.
The sturgeon Is an interesting fish. II has.
for instance. a telescope mouth. It's mouth
has not the usual bony jaw opening like
that of most fish. 1t Is on the under side
of Its head like that of a shark, and is more
like a hole than anything else. In front
of 1t, hanging down like a thin beard, are
a number of sensitive tentacles.
Whenever the sturgeon in his search for
food skins the surface of the bottom these
tentacles sweep the ground. If they chance
to pass over the end of the slphon of soft
shelled clam the information Is Immediately
telegrap pied to the brain, and the telescope
mouth unfolds into a tube over the neck
of the clam. It's gills begin to work with
the speed of bellows when a fire is being
stirred up The sand blows out Of them on
either side IN little cloud. In few Sec
onds the sand around the clam has been
sucked through the gils and the clam is
lifted into the mouth Of the sturgeon. Once
inside the vestibule of Mr.. Surgeons mouth
Its shell Is crushed to. pieces, the gills again
working Ike a busy pair Of bellows The
clam, Ii is needless to say, does not follow
the ragments Of the shell.
Sometimes the sturgeon with his shovel
like nose will cultivate the sandy bottom
after the manner of the husbandman.
Gathering momentum, he forces his snout
into the bottom and plows furrow from
six to eight inches deep and from fifty to

Spectacles in GERMANY.

'eIo!uoIQo uopuoI eql moII
The German emperor has entered upon a
new phase of his development, If We are to
believe the statement that he was lately
seen reading the newspapers in a railway
train with the help of pince-neZ. Nor is
this to be wondered at when We remember
the lament once made by the kaiser HIM
self, who, speaking of his school days at
Cassel, remarked that out Of a class of
twenty mo fewer than eighteen of his fell
low pupils wore spectacles, while two Of
these, with their glasses on, could not even
see the length of the table" AS compared
with other nations, the Germans may be
described as spectacle-wearing people, and
there can be no doubt that the main cause
of their defective sight Is the peculiar char
acter of their type which is most trying to
the eyes. The present emperor, no less
than Bismarck. has always protested, on
patriotic grounds against the substitution
of the Roman for the Teutonic. black
letter, character In print, and both have
had to suffer equally for their Chauvnism.

NO TIDINas RECEIVED.
Friends Of Emanuel Minich Unable. to
Account for His Absence.

Nothing has been heard from Emanuel
Minich. the Treasury Department employe
who disappeared from his home at oil l.
street northwest about ten days ago, as
stated in yesterdays Star. Mrs. Minich told
a Star reporter this morning that there IS
no truth in the statement that her husband
had domestic troubles. If her husband had
ever told his fellow employees that he had
had domestic troubles he had no reason for
making such statement Mr. Minich is a
pensioner, but had not yet drawn his pen
sion money, which was due the 4th Of this
month There is also money due him a. the
Treasury Department.
Mrs. Minich has no idea where he has
gone. He left home Saturday morning after
Thanksgiving in time for office duty. When
he failed to return at night his wife be-
came somewhat alarmed, but supposed
he had gone 10 visit friends either In
Pennsylvania or Hampton, Va. Since his
disappearance letters have been sent to
friends at the places mentioned, but no
trace of the missing man has been discov-
cred. Mr.. Minich went away once before,
under similar circumstances, but did not
stay very long. At that time, his wife says,
he was angry when he left the house.

Results of Tobacco Price War.

From the New York Times.
One effect which the price-cutting warfare
between the retail tobacco dealers of this
city has had has been to completely change
the former styles IN window decorations.
Heretofore the windows of New York to-
bacco stores have not been noted for any
special pains to which their proprietors have
been to make them attractive. Now all
this Is changed. Rows on rows of opened
boxes, displaying cigars of every size and
quality; piles of packages of cigarettes in
equal variety, pipes In brier and meer-
schaum, and tins OF tobacco IN all shapes
and many colors lure the eye, while notices
on deep-red sign cards give announcement
to the fact that 15-cent goods are ''cut to 9
cents" Every few days the window dis
plays are changed, the boxes and tins being
arranged differently and new brands being
given greater prominence. In many of the
stores along Broadway and in the DOWN
town section, where competition is keenest,
more than 81 900 worth of smokers goods
Is shown in the windows alone, apart from
the main stock kept behind the counters in
side.
