Disaster hits been a frequent feature of the current year. With but five months to its credit, 1S9C has written a record of destruction that will stand.

30 North Second street exploded. The building and adjacent structures were ruined nnd some six persons were killed outright or suffered such injury they died later. Thirty-two were seriously, although not fatally, hurt. Early in February a great storm whipped the eastern United States coast. The greatest loss was to property on shore, as the warning had been fluttering from signal stations so long in advance that the sailor men had hugged the docks. Four or five vessels were destroyed. Hundreds of houses nnd other buildings w’ere wrecked. In the state of New Jersey the damage was the heaviest. Bridges and buildings of all kinds were destroyed. Bound Brook, a small town near the ocean, was flattened as if some monster road crusher had trundled over it- The loss of property wn-s great, the fatalities comparatively few. February 10 in Madrid several residents of the town were killed nnd much property destroyed by the explosion of an aerolite. The sky traveler went into fragments just over the city with the deadly destructive effects of many bombshells. In one factory which was immediately below the center of the explosion 19 workmen were killed. Of accidents in mines there have been three in this country marked by great sacrifice of human life. In South Carolina 180 men were killed. This was followed by the caving in of a Tennessee shaft which resulted In the loss of 37 lives. Sixty men were killed as the result of a gas explosion in the Vulcan mine at Newcastle. Col. This accident occurred Feliruary 10. Three days later 76 workmen in a Grecian stone quarry were killed by the blowing up of the magazine wherein was stored their giant powder. It was at the noon hour and the men were gathered at the sheds getting their pay. They were crowded and took the full force of the dyna-

mite.

The same day an explosion of gas in a mine in Wales killed 10 men. nnd 17 more were buried by the falling earth which was loosened by the explosion. A great flood that came down the Oequabuck valley in Connecticut March 1 swept away hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of mill property and houses and drowned many persons. Similar floods in eastern New York and other Connecticut streams entailed property losses aggregating several

millions.

March 23 a cyclone left a trail of death and ruin across southern Illinois. Alton was a heavy sufferer. April 19 northern Ohio was visited by a cyclone. The loss in Sandusky county was great. Few persons were killed. Cripple Creek, the wonder mining camp, was destroyed by fire the latter part of April. On the 25th of the month the fire broke and destroyed nearly nil the business part of the city before it was quelled. The damage was about $1,500,000. Four days later the remainder of the town was wiped out. The total loss was nearly $2,500,000. May 4 an explosion of gasoline in a business block in Walnut street, Cincinnati, wrecked two buildings and killed 11 persons. More than 20 were seriously injured. Five days later fires ot Ashland,Wis., destroyed five lives and many buildings and lumber. May 11 forests In the southern part of New Jersey burned. The flames swept over great areas of Cape May nnd Atlantic counties. ilouscjs and barns and live stock also burned, but no loss of human life

was reported.

The cyclone season opened May 13

with windstorms in Wisconsin and Illinois. The principal damage was to crops, buildings nnd animals. In the two states six deaths only were caused by the storms, so far as known. The wind in this section was hut a zephyr compared with that which blew at Sherman, Tex., May 15. This was a true cyclone, and in its path was the local baseball grounds, wherein were gathered 1,000 or 2,000 people of Sherman and neighboring towns* More than 100 were killed and several times the number were injured. The day following, Scioto. 111., a small town near Bushnell, was wrecked by a hurricane, and May 17 Kansas towns suffered similarly. Sabetha, Kan., was the most heavily injured. It was a mass of ruins. Afterward came the windstorms in Michigan, the Elgin and Rockford and northern Illinois cyclone, which had cot exhausted its fury in Iowa. Another and less extensive cyclone passed over southern Illinois. Thirteen persons were drowned at Cairo by the swamping of a steamer which lay in the path of the wind. The next day but one St. Eouis was in ruins. From May 13 to May 27 it is probable that 1,200 persons lost their lives in the storms which have raged in a radius of 450 miles of Chicago. The property losses will ag-

gregate. upward of §75,000,000. In the cyclone excitement three other I

GAME BUTCHERS’ WORK. Wanton Slaufjliler by Ifniuern In the

tfucktton Hole Country.

The American Field jumps upon the. foreigners who come to the United States, seek out those localities where most of the big game is to be found, and then lay themselves down to the work of slaughtering it with rifles. A favorite resort of these game butchers is the Teton Basin. Here are found elk, deer nnd antelope, which are being killed off rapidly. The Teton Basin, Jackson’s Hole, is much lower than the National Yellowstone park, and much of the big game migrates south to it. as a warmer climate is to l>e found in the valley. It is here that the hunters from abroad congregate, and in spite of the Wyoming state laws kill game wantonly. If these men would kill a couple of heads of each kind, taking care of the meat, and following up wounded gome, little or no objection

would be made.

These hunters, some of whom are Americans, pass through the national park on their way home with wagon loads of skins and horns. The law in relation to transporting game rends that “possession within *he park of the dead bodies or any p>urt thereof of any wild bird or animal shall be prima facie evidence that the person or persons having the same are guilty of violating this act.” Vv'ith this act behind him the su|>erinteiideut could squelch the wholesale slaughterers of game in the region of the Yellowstone park. Capt. Anderson, the superintendent, is urged to make an effort to enforce the law. What would be better yet would be the annexation of the Jackson's Hole country to the Yellowstone park.

MOURNING ON MEN’S HATS. l^evalene® of the Custom and Various Oegrrca of Grief Indicated. The custom among me r ’ of wearing mourning upon the hat is increasing In its observance rather than decreasing. Crape, however, which was formerly exclusively used for this purpose, has now been almost ciftirely supplanted by bombasine. Years nga it was customniy to sew on a row of tiny black beads, set at a little distance apart, along the scam of the band where it was joined nt the side, but this is now very rarely done. There Is now put on around the lint over the lower edge of the band, where it meets the brim, a narrow silk ribbon to make a finish. For loss of wife the band of inournJig worn upon a silk hat is carried to within an eighth of an inch of the top; for the loss of a parent the band is earvied to within an inch of the top; for idatives otlmr than wife or parent, the band is worn three-quarters the height of the hat. The mourning band for a silk hat is specially fitted to it and made for it; for straw hats and for soft hats an English cloth band is provided, which can be slipped clown over the crown of the hat.

The ••Feminist’* Congress.

At the international “feminist” congress which was held in Baris last month Mme. Maria I’ogon was proposed as president, whereupon Mme. Leonie Rcuznde rose and said that there were some lady doctors present who should have precedence over the mistress of a lodging-house. That made trouble, nnd Mme. Rouzade was so sore beset that she arose again, and exclaimed: “Do not Insult me; ray husband is here, and he is a memberof a municipal

council.” This appeal to the tyrant,- . ,, .. , , man utterly scandalized the delegates 1 ,I? n< on 1 ‘ndy Chronicle, that and an uproar ensued, which is said to ! . lc1oria ' viil never hold another drawhave had a disastrous effect upon the 1 b ' !r ' roorn ,n P Prson - ns fatigue nerves of the audience. ,0 ° 6 Teat ,jt he ' r advanced age.

Some time ago the labor <:f deeponirg the harbor of Olotat was completed. To cell brute the completion of his labor and to make the occasion memorable the contractor gave to the members of !:is st. ff and the representatives of the press a banquet unprecedented, says Harper’s Itoui'*! Table, for its originality. The table was set eight meters below the level of the sen, ot the very bottom of the harbor, inside the “caisson” in which the excavators had been at work, and only the narrow walls of the caisson separated the guests from the enormous mass of w ater around and above their heads. The new fashioned banqueting hall was splendidly decorated and lighted, and but for a certain buzzing in the oars, caused by the pressure of air kept up in the chamber in order to prevent the inrush of water, nobody would have suspected that the slightest interruption in the working of the air pump would have sufficed to asphyxiate the whole party. After the banquet an improvised concert prolonged the festivity for several hours, after which the guests rrnseended into the open air. AN AWFULLY LAZY MAN. Too Lu*y to Work and Slept While Off

FlHhinj.

“The laziest man I ever knew was Jeff Towson, of Peoria,” said J. C. Tappan, of that city. “Jeff was too lazy to work, and fished in 1’eoria lake, about three or four miles above the city. He was a more constant sleeper that Dickens’ fat boy, nnd it used to ao said that he slept as he walked, but it is certain that as soon as he sat down he would fall asleep. On account of this habit he lost several poles ami fishing lines, which caused him to adopt iiu original method. He lay on the bank, fastening a line to his ankle. If a fish bit the hook it would wake him. and hp pulled it in. One day a larger fish than usual snapped the bait, and when Jeff awoke he was in the river. After the most energetic struggle he ever mads he succeeded in getting to shore, but, it looked as though he would have to devise a new plan. But he did not abandon tying the line to his ankle; he simply procured a rope nnd fastened me end around his body nnd the other to a tree, and in this w ay he lias fished and slept for a good many years now." PATENT ON A FARO BOX. Innilvrrtrntly One Was tunned by tbe Gov-

ernment In lUUi.

During a discussion over a sociable game of cards a few evenings since, in which several prominent congressional people took part, the statement was made that the faro box, an instrument in use in every gambling establishment of the land, hud been consecrated by letters patent of the United States. To settle the controversy two of the parties spent the day hunting up the rec

ords.

They found that Robert Bayley was given a patent May 15, 1812, for a new nnd useful improvement called the fair dealer or the ehnrtiic lusodiae. The letters patent were under the hand of James Madison, president, by James Monroe, secretary of state, nnd were executed by William Pinckm'y, ns attorney general. In the schedule which was attached to the patent the ordinary faro deal box is described perfectly.

FANCIES OF SICK PEOPLE. I’atlvnts Have queer Whims That t anuot Always He Iudillged. About the manner of serving their food patients sometimes have curious fancies. In one cu.so a woman flatly refused to take her beef tea unless the bread which accompanied it was cut in the shape of diamonds, while in another it is always necessary to serve the food in a blue bowl, for out of nothing else whatever would she take nourishment. A boy who was attacked with scarlet fever showed great disinclinutiou to take his food, but finally agreed to swallow what was necessary, provided he was fed in the following way: The beef tea, or whatever was to be given him, was put into a silver teapot, the spout was placed in his mouth, and in this manner the food was poured down his throat. An elderly gentleman who spent much of his time in hunting in Africa, on I eing asked if he fancied any particular dish, replied that he would like n bit cf elephant’s foot. Under certain circumstances this disli is a dainty and nourishing one, but the price of the elephant being prohibitive, this elderly Nimrod was forced to conteut himself with beefsteak instead. A clergyman with a broken leg had a great longing to put on a pair of stilts, a pastime which he had never yet tried, while a man whose leg had been amputated, although admitting the impracticability of the wish, declared that a passion for skating had so seized upon him since the loss of the limb that he regretted being operated upon chiefly on that account. DONT’S FOR THE SURF GIRL. What Not to Do When You C»o to the Seashore. The St. Louis Republic offers some useful suggestions to girls who bathe at tlie reaside: Don’t wear a conspicuous bathing suit. Don't loiter about the sands in your bathing suit; go directly into the water. Don’t sit m tne sand in a wet bathing suit with a man similarly attired. Don’t bathe with* strange men; the etiquette of introduction is just as strict in the water as in the drawingroom. Don’t loiter about the bathhouse corridois; a woman in a wet bathing costume is not a thing of beauty. Don’t wash the salt out of your hair under the pump with the assistance of half a dozen men. Don’t imagine that even the Venusde Milo could look pretty with her wet hair imaging down her back. Don't talk from one bathing honsc to another, and don’t report progress of your toilet to your girl chum. Don’t encourage men to loiter outside your bathing-house waiting for your reappearance. Don't dry your hair on Die beach, but twist it in a knot, and returning to your hotel dry it on an upper balcony. Don't go in to the cafe after your bath and take a cocktail.

STILL ON THE BOOKS. Govrrnmont Troanuror Carrie* an Item Represent In jj Paper Long Ago Destroyed. The books of the United States trenstiry still carry an item of $1,000,00, which represents United States notes which are supposed to have been consumed in the greai Chicago fire 25 years ago, says the New York Sun. It was known that there was $1,000,000 of currency, more or less, in the vaults of the subtreasury then, nnd that none of it was recovered, but the denominatic/ns of those notes and the exact amount are unknown, as the books of the cashier were consumed also. There could not have been, however, very many dollars less or very many dollars more than $1,000,000, nnd it would simplify the accounts of the treasury and save a great deal of labor to the bookkeepers if congress should pass a bill or resolution recognizing the fact that this money is no longer in existence, for every day when the cashier of the treasury balances his ae.eounts he has to include tliis item, deducting it or adding it ns the case may be from the amount in hand. It appears upon every daily, weekly, monthly nnd yearly statement of the assets and liabilities of the government ns “unknown destroyed United States notes, $1,009,000.”

WOULD FISH ON SUNDAY. Anil the Commercial Traveler Got n tlootc In His Ear. A commercial traveler who stayed over Sunday at Seneca Falls and went to the lake to pass away the time, thought he would catch a few fish, so lie hired & boat, equipped it with the necessary tackle, started out and was soon busy watching his line. After a time, says the Dost Express, something got hold and commenced to pull. To make sure it was a fish he leaned over the side of the boat and peered down through the water, and when he found it was a real live fish he became excited nnd tumbled in head first. In ids efforts to extricate himself from his unpleasant ]>osition lie became entangled ia his line, and the fish separating from the hook that adjunct to a fisherman's kit attached itself to his ear. He was finally rescued but little the worse for his experience Watch Tour Clianc*. “There is no such thing as luck,” said Col. North once. “Everybody in this world has chances. What people call ’luck' simply means that a man sees his chance, holds on to it, and at the right moment works it for himself. 'Luck?' Nonsense! ‘Luck’ is simply the faculty of seizing passing opportunities.”
