PaIatabie Dishes Easily Made by the
Handy Housewife,

A little celery added tosoup gives it
good flavor
Boiled sweet potatoes taste much
better if put in a hot oven ten minutes
before serving.
Buckwheat cakes taste better if
spoonful of sugar and an egg are added
to the batter
A pound Of raisins is an exceIlen
addition to a bread-pudding. The
bread should be first toasted and then
finely grated.
Soda biscuit should never be worked.
Mix as quickly as possible, mould into

set aside until perfectly cold. Chop

toes, with little grated cheese, is a
dainty dish for dinner. First boil the
m19acaroni and when tender, drain off
the water and renove to an earthen

A PASSENGER train on the Pan-Han-
die road collided with freight train
on the Michigan Central at the Joliet

the freight train, and the 1agman at
the crossing were killed almost IL
,stantly. The engineer of the freight
train jumped for his life when he saw
the danger, but struck against a fence
and was horribly injured. He died

Earthquake Wave Around the Globe.

New York Herald.
Ihe great tidal-wave caused by the
Java earthquake, was propagated to
the Pacific coast of South America
At Talcahuano, Chill, the ocean rose
Aug. %, two feet above high water
mark, and the day after earthquakes
were felt in San Salvador, Colombia,
and Ecuador. Alarming detonations
about the same time were heard in all
the towns of the Bogota plateau, while
at Manabi, Ecuador troops were turn
ed out ready to meet the supposed
enemy. This record will enable seis-
mo1oglsts to ascertain the extent Of
the disturbances caused by the Java
earthquake. Almost simultaneously
with the Andean carth-shocks and the
Chlllal tldal-Waye the ocean rose on
the California coast, as reported by
Prof. Davidson Aug. 80 In the West
Indies an extraordinary tide rose in
the harber of St. Thomas at Z 30 D. m.
Aug 81. As the tides at St. Thomas
seldom 60 above twelve inches, and
that of Aug. 81, rose three and one
half feet, and was followed the Both
by a heavy earthquake shock, there
can be but little doubt that this dis
turbance was the result of the terrible
commOtlon In the Sunda Straits. Ii
to the same agency beattributed the
destructive tidal-wave, which visited
our Jersey coast Aug. % and 20, 1t
