FILLED SHIP WITH cANARlEs.
Remarkable Experience of Liner In .
 Tropical Storm.

It happened in the night, and ac- eording to the yarn spun by Capt. Sandberg of the Panama liner City of Para, 1t must have been a night of terror.
 The ship was midway between Aca- tutla and San Jose de Guatemala which is latitude in which the un. usual is expected The time was be- tween one and two o'clock in the morning and it was very dark. Sud denly an electric storm of great feroc- ity came up from revolutionary re- public on the starboard quarter. ac- companied by waterspouts, St. Elmo's fire. and great flock of canary birds. Everyone knows that St Elmo's fire and waterspouts are common off the coast of Acajutla, but the canary birds are novelty.
 At the first stroke the lightning blew out the fuse in the ships dynamo and she became as dark as an abandoned trolley car Then the St Elmo's fire lit on the fore-topmast and split the gilt ball at the top of the topmast exactly into two hemispheres. One of these fell into the swater: the other struck the bridge and almost hit Second Off. cer Heckert.
 Third Officer Zual, who had been of watch below, ran on deck All the pas. sengers followed Zual to the deck. and the captain says that the passengers thought the end of the world had 'ome. The storm was bad enough, but t was the birds that flew in the faces ,f the startled passengers that caused ndescribable terror.
 lt lasted for an hour. and in the morning. when the storm had passed and the sun rose. there on the decks, covering the awnings and almost fill- ing the boats lashed on the upper ieck. were thousands of dead and dy- ng canary birds. Capt Sandberg says there were thousands of them Some If them had blundered into the state rooms in the darkness after the cleo tric lights were out
 So the City of Para came safely through the storm when 1t rained canary birds. all save the gilt bali at the top of the foretopmast. half of which was lost overheard. San Fran. isco Chronicle.

STRANGE DISEASE
Children Victim of Fatal Malady at Mammoth Springs Several
 Deaths Reported.

Mammoth Springs, Nov. 30.- A strange apparently unknown disease has been attacking very small children here recently and a number of deaths have re- suited. Physicians have not been able to find auy cure, or to afford more than small relief to the sufferers. The symtoms of the malady are protruding the eyebslls aud swollen throats, the throats often swelling to larger circumference than the head.
 While the disease h a S the appearance of diphtheria it is said to be different, one differ euce being that the children live longer, often lingering for more than two weeks. So far only children under three years of age have been attacked.
 Local physicians are doing all they can to find some way Of checking the disease, which is said to be even more contagious than diphtheria.

EARLY SHOPPING
 FOR CHRISTMAS
Prominent Men in Business, Literature and Philanthropy This Year Join in the Plea to the Department
 Stores Asking Cooperation.

When the panic came a yeal ago the wise prophets of trade conditions foresaw heavy de cine in Christmas shopping "It must come" they declared, sfor a man out of a Job can't bay presents for his family Probably there was falling of in holiday purchases, but it was not perceptibfe to those who delayed shopping until the last week. There were the same tired, pushing, bundle laden crowds and the same cross, stupid worn-out clerks.
 They say the building of the subways in New York has not perceptibly iessened the daily jam on the surface and elevated trains. And it is reasonably safe guess that such things as uauics or hard times will not materially reduce the Christmas holiday rush. There is a way out of the rush, however; an old way that IS being preached more
 
 and more every year. The few sensible people who have re- spouded to the shop early" call of the news papers, merchants, manufacturers and philanthropic workers are pretty sure to con- tinue to be early shoppers if only for purely selfish reasons; for they Gas well as the girl behind the counters) are saving energy and temper.
 For two .years Charities Pub lications Committee of New York has carried on an annual campaign with 'shop early" as it's war cry. Department stores the country over has heartily co-operated. Christmas adver- lisers have urged customers to "come early and avoid the rush". Newspapers in every state of the union have preached this modern parable of wise virgins. And although a reduction of the late holiday shopping crowd IS not apparent, any more than the lessening of the crowds iu New York since the subway came, there is, it is hoped, less crowdiug every year at Christ mas times.

AN EXCHANGE OF couRTEs1Es.

Some time ago an article was pub
lished in the Advertiser giving an ac-
count of the work done by Mrs. VIII
liam Wilder of Pensacola street in
planting ornamental Towering trees
for the benefit of the public and the
identifying of Honolulu. The article
was copied in the Australian papers
and attracted the attention af a lady
in Brisbane who happened to be in
terested in tree-planting.
She Immediately wrote to Mrs. Will
der asking to exchange seeds of shrubs
and plants, an offer that was immedi-
ately accepted. The lady sent her
contribution of various rare Australian
plants-the Kennedia, vine bearing
"a dark. almost black, blossom; the
Grant Lily, a strange towering plant
of the lily family, which grows on the
plateaus to a height of fifteen or
twenty feet. The seeds came neatly
sewed in small canvas bags, enclosed
in a tin box. In return. Mrs. Wilder
sent to Australia seeds of the Golden
Shower, the Cathartacarpis and Poin-
ciana regia.

A PERPLEx1NG CASE.

A Denver woman is wondering what
she will give her dog for its birth
day. She is in sore distress. A jew
eled collar was suggested. but she
thought a bracelet for its tiny leg
would be better. 1t would have the
saving quality of being unique. The
dog would be more admired than
ever! A friend has suggested nose
ring, but the dog is to be spared, as
the mistress doesn't care for nose
rings. A bow for it's cute neck was
thought of by someone with the
plebeian habit of being economical,
but the lady couldn't think Of impos-
ing such an indignity upon so fair a
thing as her dog. If she'd stop WON
dering and give him nickel's worth
OF dog biscuit he'd like it.
