How NIacaroni Got Its Name


Maearoni is eaten with relish equally by all
civilized European peoples AT the COM
mencement or the close of a dinner, in the
character of sweet or of savory alike, it is
deseryedly as popular without as within the
frontiers of Its native land. But the incl
dent which originally gave it its name is, we
venture to believe, known to few of those
even in Sicily, its th-place--who hold it in
the highest esteem. Once upon a time a
wealthy Palermitan noble owned a cook not
only accomplished beyond compare in the
practice of his profession, but gifted by ma
ture with an inventive genius. One day, in
a rapture of culinary composition, this great
artist devised the farinaceous tubes which all
love SO well, and the succulent accessories of
rich sauce and grated Parmesan familiar to
those who have partaken of "macaroni al
sugo" in Southern Italy. Having filed a
mighty china bowl with this delicious CON-
pound he set it before his lord-a gourmet
of the first water-and stood by, in deferen-
tial attitude, to watch the effect of his expert
ment. The first mouthful elected the ejacula
ton "Cari ~ automatically equivalent to
excellent" in English, from the illustrious
epicure. After swallowing second modi-
cum, he exclaimed, "Ma, carl - or excel
lent, indeed" Presently, as the flavor of
the toothsome mess grew upon him, his en-
thusiasm rose to even higher flights, and he
cried out, III a voice tremulous with joyful
emotion, MA, caroni - Indeed, most
supremely, sublimely and superlatively ex-
cellent" In paying this verbal tribute to the
merits of his cooks discovery he unwittingly
bestowed name upon that admirable prep.
aration which has stuck to it even since.

Terrific Boiler ExpIos1On-One Man
Killed and Several Injured.

Terrific Boiler ExpIosion-One Man
Killed and Several Injured.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 16.-In the brick extern
sion of Jewell's flour mills near Fulton ferry,
used as the boiler room, an explosion of three
boilers took place about noon to-day. The
boilers were shivered and the shed entirely
demolished. One boiler was hurled through
the brick wall and fell a distance of one hun
bred feet. Engineer Stevens, who was alone
in the room, must have been instantly killed
and covered with debris. TIE body has not
been found. The shock was very great, and
it was thought by the inmates of the mill
that the building was falling. They rushed
out and escaped unhurt. Bricks and timber
flew out, filling the street and adjoining lots
with rubbish, doing injury to several persons.
So far as known ten men were injured besides
the engineer. The ferryboat Fulton had just
got into her slip and Pilot Elias Baldwin, who
had just left the pilot house, was struck on
the head with brick and knocked down, be-
ing hurt ON the hip and leg. H. r. Roone,
truck driver, was struck on the head.
Charles Schlatt was injured on the hip.
William Cowan, miller, had his scalp
nearly torn off by brick. John Nelson, a
canal boat captain, received severe contuslons
about the head. Miles WEIGH, fireman in the
engine room, was slightly injured. John
| Titus, truckman, was struck on the head by
brick. Phillips, a car driver, and car
conductor, were injured slightly. Joseph
! Afford, car conductor, injuries slight. The
captain of ice barge was slightly hurt.
| Persons on the ferryboat Fulton were much
alarmed, and the boat was damaged and had
| to lay up for repairs. The ferry houses were
also damaged. The windows of neighboring
| buildings were shattered. At the time of the
| accident forty-seven to fifty pounds of steam
| were on the boilers, although the boiler in
spector had informed Jewell Bros. that it
should not carry more than thirty to thirty
| five pounds. They were insured for $4,000
| in the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance COM
pany. The damage to the building is about
| 5000; insured. There is no explanatory
cause of the explosion. Fireman WEIGH had
just left the room. The damage to the mill
and surrounding property will reach $780,
600.

NEW DOMINION.

Frozen to Death in Snow Storm.
ST. JOHN, N. B., Feb. 16.-A sad story
comes from Prince Edwards Island of loss of
life in the snow storm of last week. On
Friday evening James Campbell, his son and
sister-in law with two horses and sleighs left
Charlottetown for home in the midst of the
heavy storm. They lost their way and wan
dered about in the storm until midnight.
Campbell then sheltered himself with some
bags and went to sleep from which he never
awoke. Miss Mclean and the boy remained
awake until daylight, when the latter crawled
on his hands and knees his feet being frozen
to his ankles, to a neighboring house.
When help arrived both Campbell and Miss
Mclean were frozen to death. On the same
day Solomon Deckendorf persisted in the
storm at Dundas.

Terrible Experience in an Open Boat.
From the San Francisco ChronicIe.l

There have arrived on the ship Cochin
seven survivors of the ship Milton, burned
at sea on December % and abandoned by
the crew. The Milton was a Nova Scotia
ship, bound from Newcastle to this port,
loaded with coal She had twenty-three
persons on board. Fire was discovered in
latitude p north, and longitude 11Oo west.
The crew worked hard for two days and
nights at the pumps to put the fire out, but
without success. Ole Olesen, a Norwegian
sailor, who took charge of the boat load which
was picked up, tells the following graphic
story of the wreck:
1--WE were divided into three boat-loads
The captain commanded one, and had with
him his wife and two children. The first
mate had another, and the second mate was
put in charge of the gig with six men. We
lowered about the burning boat for several
days. It was on the day before Christmas
that we abandoned the Milton, and when
Christmas morning dawned upon us there
were twenty-oue of US in three small boats
l 200 miles from land. We managed to take
along with us a pretty good supply of bread
water and canned meats.
ga storm parted US on January 2, and
after that we drifted for twenty-three days.
Before those terrible twenty-three days were
over we had all gone to head and feet. Both
swelled up, and our waists only looked like
a connecting link between the two. About
the twentieth day things began to look des-
perate. Our bread, and what was worse,
our water had run out. All we had left
were three small cans of pressed meat, which
we had been boarding up for the last tight
pinch. Our legs were swollen, our tongues
and legs parched and swollen also, and this
we only made worse by drinking salt water.
Oh, my God 1t is terrible to die with thirst
and see water all around you. don't won
der that sailors go mad when they drink it.
for it is maddening to see it and know that
to drink it is death.
ave were still on the twenty-third day,
how far we did not know, and some of us
began to think and look as if we didn't care.
But we were saved. It was January Is,
about 11:30 on Sunday night, that we saw
suddenly loom up in the distance what
proved to be the headlights of a vessel One
of our fellows had fog horn, which, in
fit of desperation, he blew with all his might,
in the vain hope of making them hear on
board of her, but, bless you, the poor fellow
hadn't blow enough left in him to puff out
farthing glim. Williams struck match and
lit bit of lampwick, which he had carefully
preserved dry in his breast for such pur-
pose should occasion arise. The signal was
seen by those on board of the ship, the
captain hove to and with all the strength
left we pulled until we got alongside
