Chicago, Oct. 23.- Last night Motor-

the crash and ran, putting his hands
to his ears to shut out the cries of the ^
supposed wounded and dvinif. He has
not been seen since. The twenty pas-

out of the rear door as the car neared

Sting.
It is generally understood that the
stings of sotn- insects are essentially
poisonous in a greater or less degree,
and must therefore be early and care-
fully treated. Pain alone in such cases
will suffice for a danger signal, and few
when thus warned would care to
neglect the puncture made by a hornet,
a wasp, or even a bee. The fact that
other insects, like some species of fly,
are capablo of equal or even greater
mischief, says the London Lancet, is not
so commouly known as it ought to be.

to fair. Trade was slow, as buyers seemed in
cllned to wait. So far this year the number ot
western horses handled at this market is
about 5,00j less than a year bko. The dcereast
of the total number handled Is about 2,850, so
that there is an Increase of nearly 3,ft)) head
of native horses. This ia an important gain,
us the native horses are of much better quality
und bring better prices, while the cheap west-

In no case probably is it possible to
define exactly tho influence exercised
by each of theso contributing factors.
This much we know, however, that no
matter how trivial or how great the ef-
fect of the conveyed poison, it is much
enhanced by all conditions of weak-
ness or blood impurity existing in the
sufferer. A mere midge or gnat bite in
one person will prove almost as serious
in its effect us a septic wound in an-
other. There ure in the system all the
material for a conflagration, and a
spark might light it up us well us a lire-
brand. The hubits of insects afford a
clew to the seeming vagary of their oc-
casional and act idental virulence. 1 he
sting of the mandibles, which perhaps
are buried an hour previous in some
putrid sore, excreta or offal, cannot
penetrate a living tissue^vithout leav-
ing in it something of the same putrid
character. It is safer, therefore, for a
medical practitioner to regard each and
every Injury « f this kind, however
slight, as a po.*sible source of illness,

poulticing antiseptic compresses or like
means.

this weight just about equals tho weight

A BABY'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Unhurt by a Journey Through the Air
from a Fourth-Story Window.
Little Agnes Driscoll, the twenty-
throe-month-old daughter of a Brook-
lyn (N. Y.) fireman, distinguished her-
self by jumping from u fourth-story
window to the ground, seventy feet be-
low, und escaping without a scratch.
She was at the window watching some
children at play in the back yard, when
she jumped or turned out into the air
and went turning over aad over to tho
ground, llcr mother saw the awful
plunge ami fainted, but Grandma Dris-
coll rushed down the stairs to do what
she could for her darling. The baby
lay for a moment on her side. Then
she turned her head and looked up to-
ward the wiudow from which she had
fallen with an appealing glance, as if
she expected her mother to come to her
by the route she had taken herself.
After that she got up on her feet and
rau to meet her grandmother. No in-
jury was found ou her hotly that re-
quired even a plaster, in her fall tho
baby struck a clothesline strung about
six feet above the ground. This broke,
but its resistance was sufficient to sav{
tho child's life.
SENSATION IN WHEAT.
rccullar Kule on St. Louis Exchange and
tho Trouble It Is Causing.
A fight is developing among the
handlers of wheat in St. Louis, which
promises to create a sensation in all
parts of the country. After several
years' effort, St. Louis commission
houses last year overcame the opposi-
tion of millers and exporters, and
passed a rule on the merchants' ex-
change. allowing the delivery of No. 2
hard winter wheat on No. 2 red wheat
contracts for future delivery. This
rule went into effect July 1, 1805.
Winter wheat millers are, as a rule,
only prepared to grind soft winter
wheat. This year, with a great scarci-
ty of winter wheat, the shortage being
estimated at nearly 100,000,000 bushels,
as compared with last year, and the
quality being unusually poor, millers
in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee, who have been unable to
obtain h11 the good viinter wheat in
their own sections, and see where the
exhaustion of such wheat is near ut
hand, are coming to St. Louis for their
supplies. They have bought, inno-
cently, both for September und Decem-

livered they would get soft winter
wheat. Under the rule, and in view of
the lower price now asked for hard
wheat, the latter will be delivered to
them.

Mri. Frances Hodgson Burnett to Live

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, au-

has limned so many pretty scenes of
domestic happiness, has at last been
forced to admit marriage a failure in
her own case, and henceforth will live
apart from her husband. The husband,
Dr. Swann M. Burnett, is an oculist of
local repute. In anticipation of Mrs.
Burnett s home-coming ho has aban-
doned the elegant family home on
Massachusetts avenue in Washington

Mrs. Burnett is about forty years old.
She is a blonde of rich tint, with dark
grayish blue eyes that are full of vary-

FREE OF BLOOD.
Keuiarkithlo Optical Experiment of In-
tcrent to Anatomists Generally.
The most wonderful optical experi-
ment known to the eye experts is that
which produces the "bloo I tree," or
"the arborescent figure of Purkinje."
It is a very simple and entertaining
experiment and one from which no
possible harm to the eye can result.
The experiment is an optical delusion
in which the retina of the eye aud all
the blood vessels connected therewith
appear to stand out in the air in such
a manner that the experimenter has a
splendid view of them.
Purkinje, the great optician, acci-
dentally made this discovery of the
"blood tree," or "arborescent figure,"
which bears his name, several years
ago, and siuce his time it has been
used in thousands of test experiments.
The projected image is called the "ar-
borescent figure" because of its re-
scmblauce to a many-branched tree,
and is produced in the following man-
ner: Shut yourself up in a dark room
at night and move a caudle back aud
forth very rapidly before the eyes.
After a few seconds the air surround-
ing the candle will assume a deep pink
or reddish color, which rapidly takes
upon itself the appearance of a sea of
, blood. Over this red background ram-
l ifying in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels standing out

although it is three hundred feet long
and one hundred feet wide, the pros-
pect is that it will be found much too
small to contain all the exhibits the
colored people desire to display. A
comprehensive effort will be made to
show the progress in education ami in
dustrial pursuits during the past thirty
years. There will also be photographs
of the kind of houses in which the col-
ored people live, the buildings in which
they do business, and the ehurehe
which they worship. While the larger
number of these photographs wi
course, come from the south, many will
come from the north, and even from
tho Pacific states, affording an
equaled opportunity to judge of tho
condition of the colored race.
