IRON ON A BOOM.
& Further Advance in Prices Expected
Next Month.
Pittsburg. Dec. 23. Extraordinary in
terest is now manifested in the iron market.
A further advance is expected during the
month of January, and if there is any fur
ther increase in prices the iron-workers will
be entitled to an advance in wages, liar
iron is now being sold at 1.95 cents per
pound, and it is said some sales have been
made at 2 cents. When it goes above two
cent', then the iron-workers will receive an
advance. The possibility of a further ad
vance is being discussed, not only by those
directly interested, but by business men
generally.
The coke operators have agre'dtofnr
ther adva- oe the price of coke on Jan. 1
from $1 75 to #2 per ton. This will have,
it is generally conceded, a further stimulat
ing effect upon the iron market Furnaces
are receiving more orders than they can
fill. The boom in Bessemer iron still con
tinues, and there is a most active demand
reported for ail grades of iron.
FEARS OF OVERDOING A GOOD THING.
“1 would not bo surprise i to see tho card
rate go beyond two cents,’’remarked a gen
tleman closely allied with the trade, this
afternoon, “but there is danger of its going
too high. Manufacturers should look out a
tittle; bo guided by conservative views,
acd aot overdo a god thing. Every
thing points to a most active trade
during the next year, but the
boom can easily be punctured if prices are
advaDced'tno rapidly. The oflicials of the
amalgamated association uro not anxious to
ene a rapid advance. They are afraid of a
inaction. If the market will stand an
advance beyond tho two-ceut basis, they
would be glad to see it; otherwise, in tho end
it would be most injurious, and they don’t
•want to see it. The developments of tho
next thirty or sixty days wiii be awaited
w.tth interest.”

Tommy Loved Good Books.
From the New York Tribune.
"Say, pa,” said Tommy, "did you ever
read a book called "The Duties Children
Owe to their Parents?”
"No, Tommy,” answered his father, "I
do not think that I have read it; from
the title I should think it was a good book,
though. Why do you ask?”
"Q, nothin’ much,” said Tommv, “only
Miss Handsome, the mistress of the school
where you took me, said it was a good
book, which slio hoped every boy in the
school would read.”
"You may have it some time,” said his
father, as he settled himself comfortably in
his chair, lighted a 50-cent cigar and turned
to his newspaper.
"Say, pa,” said Tommy again after a
few minutes silence, "Miss Handsome has
been good to me lately, and yesterday she
told me all about you.
“Is that so, Tommy?” (becoming in
terested). .
"Yes, she said that when you was a boy
you had to work a good deal harder’n most
boys do nowadays, an’ that you never had
any of the advantages of education like I
have, an’ then she asked me if I appreciated
how much I owed to you, an’ I said, ‘You
bet I do; I’ve got the bast pa in seventeen
counties’ (at this Tommy’s father lookei
sharply at his son, but Tommy never
winked), ‘an’ then she kinder clasped
her hands an' said, ‘An' Tommy, just
think what a nue, voimg— looking man
your father is, even after all ho has gone
through,’ an’ I said yes, an’ I guessed ’twas
because you thought so much of ma before
she died that you never went out nights to
the elu s, but jus’ staid home, an’ she said
she guessed that must be the reason, an’
then siie had a kind of o far-away look in
her eyes, an’ she said jus’ quietly to herself,
‘I wonder what the future will bring?’ an’
then, after a little while, she said to me
‘An’ Tommy, your pa thinks too
much of his boy to make him
work like ho did when he was
a boy, but he buys bxiks for him, so’s
be can learn from them what he had to
• ea-n by experience,’ an’ I said, ‘yes, you
always brought mo alt the books you
tuought was g od for me, an’ she said t, let
her know when I had read tho book an’ 1
said I would, ah’ then she jus’ put her arms
around mo an’ kissed mo, an’ pa, it’s nice to
be kissed by a uico woman like Miss Hand
some, an’ ”
“How much did you say tho book would
cost. Tommy?”
"A dollar-an’-a-half (quickly), an’ ”
"Here’s the money, Tqpimy (kindly), and
now run along und let mo read my paper a
little wuila.”
“Thanks, pa,” said Tommy, as ho moved
toward the door. Then he reached tho
street at a bound and shied around the
corner, where a boy of about his own age
was standing.
"Hi, Jimmy,” ho called out, “I got miff
from pop for two reserve seats down to tho
museum, an’more’ll nuff to pay carfare and
buy cigarettes besides I”

A STRANGE LOT OF PETS.
Two Young Bears, a Dove and a Squir
rel that Live in Amity.
FVom the New York Tribune.
C'lifton,Penn., Dec. H.— Sylvester Cass,
who lives in the Beech Woods, three miles
west of this place, is a great hand to catch
and tame young wild animals. His little
menagerie is very interesting, and Mr. Cass
a-id his family take a good deal of comfort
with the intelligent mombors of the collec
tion of quadrupeds. First in order a r e two
tame yearling bears named Nick and Tiga
They are plump, playful, and cunning black
fellows, and the manner in which Mr. Cass
got possession of them is worth telling.
A year ago l ist May, George Leasher,
one of Mr. Cass's nearest neighbors, got
sight of a she bear and three cubs while he
was trudging through a piece of thick hem
lock woods on the west side of a mountain
that is li (tally known as Panther Hill.
Leasher didn’t molest the motuer hear and
her young ones then t but he told Mr. Cass
about her, and in a flay or so Mr. Cas a ,
Ijea-her and a woodsman named Jerome
Multer took a couple of dogs and went in
! search of the old bear and her three little
ones. Mr. Cass carries! a rifle, and they
started out with the intention of capturing
the cubs and letting tho mother livp, in ease
she shouldn’t give them too much trouble.
Her hide was good for nothing at that time
in the year, anil they made up their minds
to let her live if she behaved herself.
The three men surprised the old bear and
tier cubs at about the spot they expected*to
run across them. Mr. Cass led the dog.
Isaasher and Multer carried axe a They
came upon the mother bear and her young
ones so suddenly that the cubs sought
safety by deserting their mother aud climb
ing to the top of a big hemlock tree. The
cutis were three months old, and they went
to the top of the hemlock in short order.
At tliis the old bear mounted a log directly
u derneatb the tree where tier cubs were,
walked back and forth, snorted, growled,
and showed a determination to stay there.
The"dogs wanted to get at her. and after
awhile Mr. Cass let them loose. Ttiey soon
drove her from the log, but she wouldn’t
leave the neighborhood, aud in tho rumpus
one of the dogs got hurt. Then Mr. Cass
fired off liis gun, and the old bear tore
through the woods aud disappeared.
It was sixty feet up "to where the cubs
were hugging the limbs, and how to get
them down without injuring them was the
next question. The men finally decided
that it would be necessary to have a bed
cord, and Multer started off atter one.
\V hile he was gone, Leasber chopped a
hemlock so that its top lodged against that
of the tree in which the voting bears were
trembling, and when Multer returned,
Leasher took the tied-tord. climbed up the
slanting tree, and got into the top with the
cubs.
EHe wanted to hitch the cord around one
cub at a time and lower it from the tree, but
the first cub that he tried to catch scram
bled out too far on the limb, lost its hold
and tumbled to the ground. Mr. Cass put
out his hands to cateh it, but the cub was
falling pretty fast, and it wont right
through Mr. Cass’ hands, struck the earth
and was stunned. It soon caino to all right,
and Leasher let the other two down with
the cord. They were the cubs that Mr. Cass
now owns. The other one Leasher kept,
but before it was six months old it got tan
gled in the rope that held it to its pen aud
ha> ged itself.
Mr. Cass had good luck with ins cubs,
and he tamed them inside of a month. He
began to call ono of them Nick right away,
aud the other Tige, and it wasn’t long be
fore they answered readdy to their names.
Then ho trained them to follow him. taught
them to be kind to his other animals, and
made them know their places. At times
Mr. Cass confines the bears in a log pen
w ith a flat root. Whenever he doesn’t care
to let them tag him over the place or
through the woods, he chains them to the
side of tho pen with chains so long that
they can climb upon the roof if they
want to. Nick and Tige are fond of
cheese, all kinds of meat, aud above all of
honey and maple syrup. At the upper side
of the yard that slopes down to the fence
there is a little trough. Both boars cannon
get their noses in it at once, a-nd the moment
that their owner lets them loose in the yard
and places a little honev in the trough there
is a lively squabble. If Nick reaches the
trough first, Tige grabs him around the
neck with his paws, pulls him away from the
sweet morsel, and down the slope they roil
over and over one another, until the fence
stops them. Then up they spring, and for
the trough they scamper, e ding up the
bout by auotber tumble down the hill. And
so it goes until Mr. Cass puts a bit of honey
in anoti er spot, whore one of them can lick
it while the other is nosing in the trougu.
The _ most interesting creatures on Mr.
Cass’ place are a tamed doe named Roxy
and Spry, a very intelligent setter dog.’
Roxy has been there a year longer than the
bears, but she has never given birtli to a
fawn. Two years ago last summer, when
Roxy was a very small fawn, Spry caught
her in the woods on Feachstone mount
ain. Mr. Cast was rambling t’.rough tho
woods at the time. The dog accompanied
him, and every now and then Spry trotted
ahead of his m ister, darted among tho
thick, low leafage, and was out of sight a
good part ot tho way. Presently Mr. Cass
heard a doe snorting furiously in the bushes
a short distance to his right. He hurried to
the spot, and there stood the doe stamping
viciously with her fore feet and snorting
as though something had molested her little
one.
Searching around quickly, Mr. Cass soon
found the fawn. She was lying by tho side
of a log, and Spry was holding her down
with his paws. He had not injured her at
all, and ho didn’t offer to bite her. He
seeinod to regard ttie helpless littlo animal
ns a nice playfellow, and when Mr. Cais
spoke to him he wagged his tail, licked tho
fawn and mussed her over very tenderly.
Mr. Cass lugged the fawn five miles to his
home, and from that day to this
the dog has shown a most
romarkablo affection for her. A
bleat from Roxy will bring Spry to her
side in a hurry, and he will get" fighting
angry if anybody aliases the doe. They
play together a great deal, and at night
ißprv and Roxy sloop in the same nest. At
a word from Mr. Cass, the doe will roar up
and walk all around the dooryard on her
hind feet. Whenever she does this. Spry
without being t Id. gets upon his bind feet
too, and marches around behind Roxy. If
the doe happens to wander off into the
woods when the dog isn’t near her, he
hastens to hunt her up as soon as he finds
tnat she isn’t anywhere around the premises.
Roxy is just as fond of Spry as he is of her"
and their antics together are amusing. ’
Last winter Mr. Cast’s old cat caught a
fine gray squirrel and brought it into tho
house by the nape of tho n ?ck. Puss hadn’t
hurt the squirrel very much, and she placed
it on the floor and as going to torment it
a spell before she killed it. Mrs. Cass turned
the cat out of doors, aud, seeing that there
was still some life in the squirrel, she placed
it in a basket of oln rags and put it near trie
stove. In a short time the squirrel came
to, and with a littlo nursing Mrs. Cass
cured it. of a couple of slight wounds that
the cat’s teeth had made iu its neck. Then
she placed it in a cage, and gradually she
taught the cat that it wouldn't be well for
it to raise a paw against the squirrel. Now
tho squirrel is perfectly tame, and runs
wherever it chooses to. The old cat treats
it as kindly as she does ono of her own kit
ten?, imrt seems to enjoy seeing it skip about.
Besides these cunning pets, Mr. Ca<s owns
a tame coon, named Dick. The coon’s home
is in a big hollow tree, a few rods from tho
house. He comes to the wood-heel three
times a day to be fed, and he has never
tried to g > off into the woods and get
wild again. Dick keep< by himself a good
deal of the time, but occasionally he plays
around tne dog a :d doe, seldom going near
the bears. Mr. Cass got him out of a nest
when ho was less than a fortnight old, and
he says he had no trouble to tame him and
make him mind. •

Zola’s Way to Become Lean.
M. Zola was, in the cou- se of a conversa
tion with an Italian journalist, congratu
lated not only on bis healthy look, but on
on his comparatively slim figure, which
compared advantageously with his former
unwieldly corpulence, thereupon the chief
of the naturalist school divulged to the
journalist the secret of the unexpected
transformation. One night, he said, he was
laborously forcing his way to his seat in the
\ orchestra stalls of a theater, when he hap
pened to be obliged to squeeze past Signor
Raffaeli, the well-known painter. In doing
so, M. Zola exclaimed: “What a misfort
une it is to be stout!” Signor Raffaeli does
not seem to have been very good-tempered
at the moment, for he simply replied: “It
depends entirely on yourself not to be so.”
No offense was taken at this by M. Zola,
but during the next entr’acte he asked Sig
nor R-i ffaelli what he meant. "Never
drink,” was the painter s secret for reduc
ing c rdulence. The very next day M.
Zola commenced the experiment. At
breakfast lie turned hi- glass upside down,
and, notwithstanding tne entreaties of his
wife, who feared ha would make himself
ill, refused both wine and water. He per
severed, and in eight days he was over
joyed to find he had reduced his weight by
ten pounds. The diminution went on so
rapidly that at the end of three months he
had lost no less than forty-five pounds of
flesh, aud was in better health than he was
before he ceased drinking.

SKIN CANCLit.
Several years ago I wa? called to see a colored
woman who had a malignant form of cancer on
her foot. The cancer grew worse nnder the pro
scribed treatment, and the toes and one side of
the foot were at length eaten entirely away. The
patient could not have survived mnch longer,
but I commenced the use of Swift's Specific,
and it cured her sonnrl well. That was three
years ago, and there ha? been no retnm of the
disease. I regard Swift's Specific a most excel

is to drive oat the poison.

TO THE PUBLIC.
At my residence on Bull a ul Macou streets a
little child is lying very ill. His sickness is such
that sudden noises will seriously imperil his
chances of recovery. I, therefore, earnestly re
quest those celebrating the holidays, and "par
ticularly the boys, to abstain from any demon
stration in the vicinity of my house and the
neighboring square, and co-operate with me m
my efforts to secure the quiet which has been
pronounced necessary. Respectfullv.
