Horrible Explosion.

Baltimore has been the scene OF q fearful ex-
plosion, attended with shocking loss of life.
A large boiler blew mp with terrific force in the
flour and feed mill Of A. III. Sibley, in the
western section OF the city. Tho force OF
the explosion shook tho earth for blocks
around. The three-story brick building
and two small houses in the neghborhood wsre
shattered. Bricks and timber we're blown
through the air like chat, and human beings
were hurled in everv direction. John Addison,
the engineer. and Henry Walter, the colored
fireman. were torn to pieces, rs not even frag-
ments of their bodies have been found among
the waste Of ruins. There were seven persons
killed in all, az follows John w. Addison, Har-
rison Walter Frank Kraemer, Abraham Hob
born (colored), Maria @. Kanf, George Pentz,
Oracle Gray. Andrew Cooper was terribly
scalded about the head and will probably
die. james Poden had his skull fra CT
ured. Edward Coulahan, Bernard Taylor
"a child, Ida Rosenberg and a number of
others were more or less injured. Beside the
above. there are several persons missing. The
buildings in the rear OF the factory in which
the explosion occurred were occupied by women
OF ill-fame and beneath their ruins several
young girls persisted. The tn roof of the
building in which the boiler burst was
carried through the air over block OF
houses and landed in the middle of the street.
German woman who was m the yard of q
house near the mill, hanging up some wet
clothes, was buried beneath the rear wall of
her house, which was blown down, and in
stantly killed. Immediately after the explo-
ZION fire broke out among The r1ins, and several
of the unfortunate beings were either burned
TO death suffocated. A low pressure OF
water in the boiler Is said TO have caused the

The story of the Loss of the jean
nettc-Erig htful Pcrils Endured On
the Ice.
The San Francisco papers publish letter
from DR.. II. G. Ledyard, an American now in
Siberia, to friend in that city. At Irkoutsk
Ledyard met Lieut.. Dannenhower, who gave
him interesting details of the loss OF the Jean
nette, from which the following extracts are
made:
''Since the first fall, when they were caught
by the ice in trying TO reach Herald island,
they have never taken a course but they were
held as If in the jaws of death, squeezed tai
every timber quivered, turned this way and
that, thrown floating and then caught again,
and every hour in suspense, never knowing
when the ice would close upon them. A
little more and the deck sank beneath
them. Throughout this strain they were
wei and v.rS trying S,ra to be tho cheerful s%ns
and mon were barely able to keep the water out
They had to pump for year and half. June
IL, 1881, the crisis came. The ship showed
greater straining than before, the deck quivered
and inexplicable movements warned them, and
they prepared their boats and made their samp
beside the vessel. She rose and turned in her
cradle till the yards touched the ice then the
rigging gave way and the masts hay PROSTATE.
At O'clock in the morning the foe parted and
all went down. cry of alarm called all to e.
cape from the crevce in the ice. IL opened just
through the Captains tent. Then began the
retreat. Twenty-nine DAYS they struggled
southwark. Three hundred miles of broken ice
were thus passed over. -Four miles a day was
thought good fortune. After one series of
fourteen days they were twenty-seven miles
further than at first. While working over the
ice dragging three boats they discovered Ben
nett island, to explore which they spent three
weeks OF their precious summer days, and ex-
pended much of the limited supply of food. To
this detour those who survived attribute much
OF their suffering, and the death of the eonl-
mander with nineteen men. After three months
OF this perllous and exhaustive work they came
to blue water, and then with fair winds took r
course for the mouth of the Lena river. Mel
ville's boat was stove against block Of ice.
The Captains boat lost her mast and sail.
The Captain landed with all well, but abGu-
doned the boat as the water was shallow and
would no. make the channel Of the river"

Loud mourns the chill aud cherries gaze,
When nightfan shades the quiet vale,

And in her sad and mellowing light

Feeding Up for Winter.

1t is literally true that the timo to
make hay is while the sun shines, for
the simple reason that sunshine is nec-
e -sary for the drying process 1t is
equally true that the time to fit stock
for winter is while we have, without ar
tificial protection, congeaial tempera-
tlre, combined with such varieties in
food as the growing season gives US.
By supplementing this with grains,
meal, oil cake, and the like. we are in
the most rapid manner enabled to put
flesh on our cattle and other stock pre-
paratory to winter. The conditions IA
vorable for gain win soon disappear, and
it is the poorest kind of policy to delay
the giving of grain or ground feed till
the stock are finally placed in their stalls
for the winter. At any rate, individual
animals that have up to this time re-
mained thin, should be selected out,
whether cattle; horses, or pigs, and fed
extra allowances of the very best of
foods.
This without any reference to mar
keting or to mere appearance sake, but
simply for the same reason that hay
making Is attended to while the condi-
tions are right for it, for the gain of a
beast ends when winter is established; !;
at least under the conditions with which
they are generally surrounded. 1t is
well understood that stock will gain
more rapidly on variety of food than
when confined to meager assortment,
and such as are in thin condition should
have the special attention of the feeder
during the coming few weeks.-Liue

The milk should be frequently drawn

AT this season of the year the dairy
men as q rule make serious mistake,
that of insufficient feeding their milch
cows. The summer grasses, by the action
of frost and rain, have largely lost their
value as either milk or flesh producers
and the cows fall off both in flesh and
milk, besides actually losing in thrift
On the contrary, the COW that is kept in
q thriving. hearty condition, but not
over-fed or over-fat, is almost sure to do
well, and is in proper condition to begin
her summers work and give bountiful
flow of good rich milk. In fact, only q
COW in this condition gives rich, whole
some milk. fit for human use. No COW
can make something from nothing; and
no matter of what breed she may be, or
how wen adapted to transmitting raw
material into milk, she must not only
have the raw material but that of good
quality or she cannot properly and satis-
factorily perform the work of the ''milk-
producing machine.n
