HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Re-Warmed Dishes.

Cold meats and fish, in the opinion of many people, may be made more accept able on their second appearance upon the table than when first served, but the cost of properly preparing palatable dishes from such mater al is a great one, and constitutes one of the chief excellences of French cooking. The cook should know that dark meats and game should always be warned with brown gravy, and that fish, poultry and white meats require white sauces. All warmed over dishes should be quickly cooked and promptly served. Meats are best re- warmed as croquettes, patties, salmis, curr;es, hash, scollops and fricasses, Game and poultry can be re-warmed in any of the above ways, and are especially accptable highly seasoned and broiled Vegetables may also be m,de a second time by re-warming in gravy, frying in butter or minced with meat Cold pud- ding may be sliced, dipped in beaten egg, fred and sprinkled with sugar. Cold rice, oatmeal or hominy may be re- dressed in many ways, as can many other articles for family dessert.

THE TEXAS DISASTER.
Thirty-Eight Lives Already Report.
 ed Lost in the Texas Storm.

FORT WORTH, Texas, August 23.-The terri ble work of the storm was aggravated at In d1anola by the added horror of a life destroy Ing fire. While the storm was at it's height the signal office was blown down, carving with It Captain l. A. Reed, signal officer, and Dr. Ii. Rosencrans, both of whom were lost Fire broke out among the ruins, which extended for blocks on both sides of the streets, destroy ing thirteen houses, among which were D. H Regans large dry goods store and Dr. Lewis extensive drug establishment. Dr. Lewis was in the building at the time it took fire. He escaped being burned to death, but was subse- quently drowned, his body being found yestcr- day.
 Besides the above, the bodies of ten colored persons have been found. The body of Dr. Crooker, the twenty-second victim, was found yesterday. Four miles of the track is washed away, rendering 1t impossible for trains to ap- proach Indianola. There is more destitution there among the poorer classes, who have lost everything they possessed. The depth of the water IS reported as great as it was during the great storm of 1875, when Indianola lost near ly two hundred of her citizens-swept away On Friday the flood of water over the doomed town was so rapid that within two hours after the first apprehensions were felt every street was submerged many feet.
 The loss of property at San Antonio is esti mated at S5OO,OO0, and that at Floresville at SlOO,OOO. Never before was the lower Texas coast visited by so terrible and destructive q storm. It extended for two hundred miles in land, destroying thousands of houses and in volvlng pecuniary loss of many millions Among the poorer classes great desolatior must prevail.

President Jackson's Inauguration.
AN INTERESTING SCENE AT WASHINGTON
 MANY YEARS AGO.

After the installation of John c. Cal houn as Vice-President in the Senate Chamber, says Ben. Perly Poore, the assembled dignita. ies moved in process sion through the rotunda to the east front of the Capitol As the tall figure of the President elect came out upon the portico and ascended the platform. uplifted hats and handkerchlets waved Q welcome, and shouts of "Hurrah for Jackson!" rent the air. Looking around fer a moment into ten thousand up turned and eXultant human faces, the President-elect removed bis hat, took the manuscript of his address from his pocket, and read it with great dignity, When he finished, Chief Justice Marshal administered the oath, and as the Pres ident, bending over the sacred book, touched it with his lips, there arose such a shout as was never before heard in Washington, followed by the thunder of cannon flom two light batteries near by, echoed by the cannon at the Navy Yard and at the Arsenal. The crowd surged toward the platform, and. had it not been that a ships cable had been stretched across the portico steps, Noulu AdNc CdptulCu lleil DeloNeNl leader. As it was, he shook hands with hundreds, and it was with some difficulty that he could be escorted back to his carriage and along Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Mean while, MT. Adams, who had refused to participate in the pageant, was taking his usual constitutional horseback ex- ercise when the thunders of the cannon reached hls ears and notified him that he was again a private citizen. The broad sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue were again packed as the procession re- turned from the Capitol. ''I never saw such a crowd," wrote Daniel Webster to a friend. "Persons have come five hun. dred miles to see General Jackson, an6 they really seem to think that the coun- try IS rescued from some dreadful dan ger." Hunters of Kentucky and Indian fighters of Tennessee, with sturdy iron ticrsmen from the North west, were mingled in the throng with the more cultured dwellers on the Atlantic slope.

Diseases Due to Occupation.

Among the finest specimens of our race in form, proportion, agility, keen ness of sight and hearing, vigor and health, are the tent dwellers of Arabia Civilization, with the aid of science, may gain great triumphs over diseases, but a large number of diseases are its own pro- duct. We call attention to few
 One of the needs of civilization is luci- fer matches. The old sulpher match is now a relic of the past. But the manu- facture of the former makes large de- mands on the health of the employees. The phosphorus tends to cause in many cases decay of the bones of the jaw
 A physician in London, whose practice in the neighborhood of three match factories, had three cases of the kind within six months. One young woman who had been employed simply in put ting matches in the boxes, said that five of her mates were similarly affected. If it is true, as generally thought, that the poison reaches the jaw through decayed tooth, stringent legislation should en- force frequent medical examination of the teeth of the operatives. Give us good matches, but don't let us feel every time we scratch one that our convenience costs the health of girls in their teens. We need white lead to protect and beautify our dwellings. But to say nothing of painters collie, the manufac ture of the pigment ruins the health of the workmen, as rule, in about six years. Lead is cumulative poison; i. C., being with difficulty eliminated, its ef- fects steadily accumulate in the system, and occasion most painful and intricate ailments. A fresh set successively paSses through the same process of physical ruin. Since facts seem to show that d milk diet renders the business safe, leg islation should provide that the employees have the benefit of this knowledge.
 In mills for the manufacture of woolen and cotton goods, and for the grinding of bark for tanning. and of tobacco flor snuff, and in establishments for filing copper and iron. floating particles enter and irritate the bronchial tubes and the lungs, causing grave pulmonary diseases The employees should be taught to breathe only through the nose, and to wear over the latter an efficient air strainer.
 All sedentary employments tend to cause constipation, headaches, dyspepsia, internal compositions and to lower the health generally. The most should be made of opportunities for exercise in leisure hours, holidays, and vacations in such way as to purify the blood and invigorate the system. Youths Conn., 730niOn

A Meat Producing City.

Although our wheat crop is much larger than that of last year-indeed our winter wheat is exceedingly good - yet the fact remains that we are never likely to sell as much grain to foreign nations as we did from 1877 to 1884 For one thing. we consume more grain ourselves, for there are ten millions more of us now than there was in 1880, when the last census was taken But while we will export less grain, we shall send abroad very much large quantities of beef, mutton, pork, and lard. This will be an advantage to us, for the cropping of grain robs the soil of its fertility, while the raising of cat tie not only enriches the land but re turns us a larger profit. Since 1860 we have developed prodigiously what may be called our beef, hog, and fish crops. In 1870, we had twenty-three million eight hundred and twenty thousand head of cattle. In 1885, we had forty five million. At the present rate of increase, we shall have seventy million in 1905 and one hundred and forty mil lion in 1925. Then the great corn crops we have had since 1870 have enormous ly increased the number of hogs for our own use and for expo. tation. For the last two years our corn crops were un, usually large, while it is very promising this year, and this means that hog pro ducts of all kinds will be plentiful and cheap for two years to come. Wheat can be raised in many quarters of the United States and in Australia and South America; but we have the decid. ed advantage of being nearer the meat l consuming nations. Then, within ten years there has been a wonderful devel opment of fish food, due to the artificial matching of fish ova by the National and State Fish Commissioners. There arc probably twenty pounds of fish to day available for food where there was one ten years ago, and the process of stock ing our streams is still going on; and then there will be immense additions tC our stock ot poultry and dairy products So far as physical necessities are con l cerned we are the most favored nation on earth. We have practical monop oly of corn. We grow more grain than we can consume, while our animal food products are so abundant that we could feed half the world and have enough for ourselves besides. - Dona ,rests MrDtb1n

RAILWAY CARRIAGE MURDER.
An English Traveller Killed in a Compartment and Robbed of Six Thousand Dollars.

LEICESTER, England, Aug. 24.-The inquest oh the body of James Lowe, recently found dead in carriage on the Midland Railway train, developes what may prove sensational ease of railway murder. Lowe, who lived in Manchester, had gone to London to collect a debt of S6,0OO which was sometime overdue. Letters from him which were read at the in- quest prove that he collected this money, and that he presumably had possession of it when he left London. The name of the debtor, how ever, is unknown. The guard of the train bought Lowe's ticket, returning several dollars change, and then locked the doors of the car riage, as Lowe expressed wish to sleep quiet ly dnring the trip.
 The guard heard no noise of any struggle, but on the arrival of the train at Leicester he found pistol on the footboard of the locked carriage This induced him to look into the carriage, when he found Lowe dead on the floor of the carriage surrounded by pool of blood. He was shot through the head. There were some evidences of struggle, as the but tons of his coat were torn off, the money pocket ripped open, and the change returned by the guard was missing, as also $6,00O supposed to have been in the possession of the deceased, but his gold watch was not touched.

In a Bank.

A gentleman greatly interested in col lecting statistics of crimes and criminals, once visited penitentiary for the pur- pose of questioning the convicEs with re- gard to their occupation before entering upon a career of crime. This was rather difficult to effect, owing to the rigid en- forcement of the rule forbidding conver- sation With the prisoners. He did, how ever, manage to put question or two to one w-browed convict.
 "What was your occupation before you came here2" whispered the statistics man.
 ''I was in bank, ,'' was the reply.
 ''Did you take clerkship?"
