SUFFERERS Jjj MANY CITTEa Business In Many Places Is Dlaor gaaized on Acoount Prostrations from This Ailment An epidemic of la grippe seems to Up sweeping over the country, and tens oi thousands of people are suffering from the disease. Pittsburg reports the worst visitation in its history. The buslnesi of the city Is disorganized on account of the large number of people who havt been suddenly forced to remain absent from their places of employment Factories and mills, offices and stores, are affected seriously. There Is a notable uniformity In thi symptoms of the present epidemic which appears to affect principally tht bronchial passages. Bronchitis and pneumonia are Us most common accom panlments, and it aggravates fully C( per cent of the tuberculosis cases. Thos most injuriously affected are persons who before the attack were badly rur down in their general health. In theii cases pneumonia quickly develops while the heart,, brain and other or gans become affected. In Philadelphia an epidemic of grippe Is sweeping the city and whole fami lies are prostrated by it Pneumonia in many cases is followed close upon it: heels, and last week many persons died of that disease. Doctors are scarcely able to keep tip with the demands made upon them. Baltimore, too, Is experi encing an unusual amount of sickness. Other cities where grippe has made its appearance are Boston, Chicago, Cin cinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Milwaukee and New York, and reports from these places Indicate that the health authori ties fear that the outbreak is only at the beginning. Health Commissioner Evans, of Chicago, has Issued a warn ing to the people, urging them to get plenty of fresh air and to exercise in the open as much as possible. Chicago knows the danger of grippe, for it has been frequently visited by the disease. In 1890 that city had 100,000 grippe suf ferers and 112 deaths directly resulted. In 1899 over 300 persons died from the disease, and since the first appearance of the malady the city has paid a tribute of 2,208 lives. In New York, where the disease Is now gaining a strong foothold, sixty eight deaths resulted last week and there are many cases scattered about the city. - Boston Is the worst sufferer on the Atlantic seaboard. There are nearly 100,000 cases there and sixty deaths have, resulted. Cincinnati has 2,000 ca-s and the disease seems to be epi demlc In form. The open winter is held responsible for the spread of the disease. Where it originated no one seems to know. It travels with wonderful rapidity. In 1889, when the grippe appeared In viru lent form all over the country, it was tracked back 4o Europe and thence to Hong Kong in China. The germs of the present epidemic may have come from the same source. The Washington State football eleven defeated that of St. Louis university by the score of 1 to 0, at Spokane, Wash. The Coney Island Jockey Club an nounced that improvements in its plant now under way will cost at least $100,000. There will be half a dozen Smiths in the major leagues next season, the Amer icans having four players of this nam and the Nationals two. Cincinnati has asked for waivers ol seventeen men. Provided all these play ers are turned bark to the minors, the next manager of the Reds sfill will have twenty-two athletes to aid him in -capturing a second division berth. The baseball critics seem Inclined to the belief that the Bostons got all the best of the big deal with New York. The Bean Eaters, it would seem, should occu py a higher place in the race than they have held for the past few years. ' Tommy Ryan believes that the best fighters of to-day are to be found in the middleweight ranks. He bas a poor opin ion of the "heavies," they falling far be low the standard of scrappers like Jef fries, Sharkey, Corbett, McCoy and Fitz immons in their active ring days. Haskins, the intercollegiate champion may be barred from representing the American team at the Olympic games. Haskins is not an American citizen. He was born in Australia and comes under the same ruling as that which affects Con Leahy and Dennis Murray, the two Irish athletes who wanted to represent Amer ca. In order that they may be kept in active training for the Olympic games in England next summer, a movement Is on foot that has for its object a visit of the best of the Canadian athletes to New York and Boston, where indoor meets would be held.

VTkem the Rat, the Cat ana tea Rabbit Are Thiretr. I All creatures, with the exception of the highest endowed specie, are not only teetotalers, but drink very "mod erately of water never anything else. For Instance, It would be equally dlffl- Jcult to picture a dormouse quaffing a pint of soda water as a bottle of Bur gundy. Rats, especially when they are feed , Ing on corn In ricks or barns , suffer jvery much during a comparatively I short spell of rainless weather. Even I the dews, which In some measure com pensate for the absence of rain, are ' quite Insufficient for their needs. I If you would like to see really happy rats watch a rat-Infested corn stack on a summer evening after a shower fol lowing a few scorching daya Tou will not have long to wait, says Pearson's Weekly, before you hear the stack rus tle, as it were, and soon the rats will steal out to gulp down the great, glis tening raindrops on the thatch and herbage near their abode. I So thirsty do rats become that I have seen one which, in spite of my fright i ..i , , . . . . eumg aim oacK eacn time ne appeared. made a fresh attempt about every half minute to gain a puddle of dralnings from a' farmyard. And I remember a farmer, shooting at one, shot no few er than seven rats which had crowded to drink from a small pool of water near a stable. Moreover, my experience of rats and I have "dealt with" tens of thou sands leads me to believe that the larger rats when hard pushed for "drink" kill their own and other rats' young for their blood truly a ghastly beverage, even in times of famine. This thory certainly dovetails with the fact that a dry breeding season means a poor crop of rats, and vice versa. Rats are even credited with so far forgetting themselves as to drink from uncorked bottles by Inserting their tails into the liquid, though, personally, I have yet to behold this astute dodge. My old black cat Is a cat among cats, and I don't think any rat can best her at ways and means. When she has "plain" thirst puss balances herself on the edge of an open galvanized tank and subdues the feeling by means of about five tongue laps to one swallow. But sometimes, after washing day, for Instance, the water level Is too low for direct drinking, so she dips a front paw and licks the water therefrom in a way unexcelled in daintiness by any society star's manipulation of a finger bowl. Rabbits and hares, which may be truthfully called strict vegetarians, need very little in the shape of direct I drink but dew, for their food In its raw state contains a very large per centage of moisture. And sheep, in this country, at least, seldom require water, except In the hottest part of the summer, and never, I believe, when feeding off root crops in autumn and winter. " Now, water in a direct form Is in dispensable to stoats and weasels. This accounts for their being found In much greater numbers in well-watered dis tricts, where the supply never falls, than In parts where there Is only a pond here and there which holds water all the year round. Ferrets, too, when fed on warm flesh and milk only, do not thrive so well as those which have water always In reach. I suggest that water Is so nec essary to stoats and weasels, and in a lesser degree to ferrets, because the warm blood of their prey creates an exceptional thirst, for salt is present in considerable quantity in blood. - C(X)OOOOOOOOOCOOOO g 0TXR DIFFICULT ENGLISH, jj oooooooooooooooooooooooouc An American who met Henryk Slen klewICE during his stay in California many years ago has recently confided to the public that the great Polish nov elist has only become an admirer of America since he left It. While he was here, a homesick member of an Ideal istic community which was a failure, American manners and customs did not please him, and he did not display the usual aptitude of his countrymen in ac quiring the language, which he used reluctantly and as little as possible. On being Introduced to the American, he Inquired, politely: "How Is your heels?" Perceiving a puzzled expression on the countenance of his new acquaint ance, he, too, looked puzzled for an in stant, then whipped a little phrase book out of his pocket and pointed tri umphantly to the question, "How la your health?" It was merely the foreigner's diffi culty with the th, combined with a nat ural Inclination to pronounce heal In health like heal outside it. His mistake, although amusing, could not have been so difficult to listen to with a courteously grave face as was that of a Frenchman of letters who not long ago called upon a charm ing American lady In Fans. She was loath to lose his call, and decided to receive him, although she had not yet wholly recovered from an attack of facial neuralgia, which still somewhat Impaired the outline of ber usually oval visage, ne was most grateful and sympathetic.
