A Steamships Race for Life.

Can't. Alexander of the steamship
Queen, which sank off the Pacific coast,
recently, proved himself a hero. He
was aware that the Queen was leak ing
as early as $50 o'clock, says the San
Francisco Post. In a few minutes he
saw that his steamer must go down,
for the pumps could not work fast
enough to keep her clear. Realizing
that the only salvation of the steam
ship and the safety of the hundreds of
lives entrusted to his care rested on
his making convenient haven at once,
he sent private orders to the chief en-
gineer to crowd on all steam, to use
coal as if it were worthless, and to
send the Queen along like race horse.
The chief engineer responded. All
hands in the department were called
out, and the steam was raised to the
utmost limit. AS further precaution
the cargo was shifted, and then began
a race for life. The engines creaked
and grOaned, and the journals smoked.
All this time the passengers were
asleep in their hunks. Finally, Capt.
Alexander began to fear that he could
not make port. All along that part of
the coast bluffs arise abruptly from the
sea, there being no convenient beach
on which the steamer could be run,
and the passengers were aroused, so as
to be ready to take to the boats.
The frightened people rushed out
from their state-rOOms in all sorts of
apparel. A panic seemed inevitable,
but again the GOODNESS of Capt. Alex
ander won. He compelled the fright
ened ones to dress and by ali exhibit
ton of force stopped a rush for the
boats. After quelling the excited peo
pie, he saw that he firemen worked to
the last limit, and when the vessel
finally steamed into port, nearly ready
ready to sink, he was the first to see
that the passengers went into the boats
in an orderly manner.
Old steamship men, without excep-
ton, say that nothing in the history of
steam navigation on that coast ever
approached the splendid run made by
the Queen for port. That the steamer
was sunk in a safe place seems to them
a marvel. Capt. Alexander saw the
water advancing inch by inch in his
vessel, and all the time urged her to
her tOpmOst speed. 1t is expected that
the engines have been somewhat dam
aged by the terrific strain put upon
them, but this is an item hardly worth
mentioning in the expense for repairs.

Hair Balls in the Stomach.

Hair balls are found in the stomachs
Of cattle OF all ages, and in sheep and
goats. They are produced by the ami
mails licking themselves or one an
other, and swallowing the hair that is
loosened in this way. The hair enters
the folds of the reticulum, the second
stomach, where the peculiar move
mcnt of this organ soon forms it into q
ball, which, as time passes, grows
larger, by accumulation. These balls
vary in size from one inch in diameter
up to three inches or even more.
We have seen one which was
formed in the stomach OF a
buffalo and was five inches in
diameter. In some cases these present
d rough surface, hair sticking out all
over them, and in others they are
smooth, having been longer in the
stomach, where they have been coated
over with salts OF lime, etc. 1t is not
always easy to determine whether
these balls are present. They cause
Indigestion, and the animal shows a
depraved appetite. Frequent attacks
Of collie are often the result of these
concretions in the stomach. No way
has yet been found for removing them,
and where they increase in size rapidly
they sometimes prevent the passage of
food into the intestines and cause the
death of the animal. National Live-
Stock journal.

Cure for Round Shoulders,

l have seen a STOPPING figure and a
halting gait, accom- panied by the un-
avoidable weakness Of lungs incidental
to a narrow chest, entirely cured by
the very simple and easily-performed
exercise of raising ones self upon the
toes leisurely in perfect perpendicular
several times daily. To take this ex-
ercise properly one must take per-
feet position with the heels together
and the toes at an angle OF forty-five
degrees. Then drop the arms lifeless-
ly by the sides, animatipg and raising
the chest to its full capacity muscular
ly; the chin well drawn in, and the
crown of the head feeling, as our
professor used to put 1t, MS If attached
to a string suspended from the ceiling
above. Slowly raise upon the balls OF
both feet to the greatest possible
height, thereby exercising all Of the
muscles of the legs and body; come
again into the standing position with
out swaying the body backward out Of
the perfect line. Repeat this same ex-
ercise. first on one foot and then on the
other. 1t is wonderful what a straight
ening-out power this exercise has upon
round shoulders and crooked backs,
and one will be surprised to note how
soon the lungs begin to show the effect
Of such expamive DEVELOPMENT. --4Ana

The wraps worn by tiny babies OF
three. and four ars shtsgy little coats

called king Charles" beaver, possi-
bly, from its resemblance to the shaggy
coat OF the spaniel. These coats are
double-breastod and have short shoul-
der tares striped with bands Of brown
Velvet set On and graduated almost to
a point at the neck where it meets a
standing plush collar. Tiny bell
| sleeves trimmed with plush complete
| the coat.
The Djrect0ire coat is a favorite
model for older children from six to
ten. Those coats are made of dark
erpcr Gch6lst bl,id and terra tdtta red
cloth, and are trimmed with black
astrachan. The material of these
cloaks is usually q smooth-faced
beaver. They are a long coat shape,
fitting to the figure at the back with a
Dunth Of shirring below the waist to
allow fullness. The front Of the coat
is rolled back in a large rever5 or
rolling collar, which is facod with
black astrachan and displays vest of
black astrachan. The coat Is simply
fastened belew the waist line at
the point of the huge collar
by three frog lops OF black cord.
Misses in their teens wear mod
itication of the Dtrectoire coat or
long ulster of fine cloth, trimmed
with handsome black passementerie or
black braiding. The use of black as a
garniture OF children's clothes is an
innovation of the season. Black trim
mings are seen on terra-cotta red,
gobelin blue and the dull empire and
olivine greens which are in special de-
mand this season for chlldren's wear.
Fine felts in low-crowned, broad
brimmed shapes trimmed with silk or

tie children. A novelty is a felt which
may be caught up at the rim, and is

cut beaver hats for little children, with
wide fiat brims. These are especially
in red beaver, trimmed with black vel

black tips. High Alpine-crowned hats
are shone for older girls, in white and
in light and dark-colored felts trimmed
with loops of ribbon to the crown or a
wreath of bright wings. --Hetcaa Roace,

How to Ripen Cream.

Mrs. Kate NJ. Busic explains why
ono women fail il tfeIt hH'ter-mak-
| ing. We frequently hear She writes,
the complaint: MY cream does not
Yield the amount of butter it should.
| | feed my cows well, the milk seems
rich. but the yield af butter Is COM
paratively small" The fault is not III
the COWS or their feed but in the but
ter-maker churning the cream before it
is thoroughly riptred, This is as
great mistake as to permit it to stand
until ovcrripc, l. e., frowy and lumpy.
Every good housewife knows that there
is a certain stage at which bread
must be put In Tie Oven I'd bake, il
she would have it nice, light and
palatablc. If put in before it is
"raisedn enough, the product is heavy
and dark II allowed to stand 200 long
it is, when baked, coarse, full OF largo
holes and dry and chatfy to the taste.
N the one case fermentation has not
sufficiently freed the carbonit acid gas,
and in the other, it has produced sur
plus. just so with cream. There is a
certain stage of ripcness, If | may use
the term, for want OF better, which
will no. only secure the greatest
amount OF butter from given amount
of cream, but will likewise pro-
duce the finest favored article.
Vary this either way and you will
meet with disappointment. Unripened
cream makes less butter, overripe
cream makes inferior butter. How
shall this golden means be secured? |
answer, only by patieIit observance
and pains-t taking efforts. There are
no set rules that will always secure
the same invariablc results; and ex-
pcrience, tempered by judgment, is
the best guide. Under certain atmos-
phcric conditions cream will ripen
sooner at one tinle than at another
gain, the cream OF certain cows will
ipen sooner than others, or the kind
of feed that is eaten will influence the
ripening process. Jersey Bulletin.

How to Get Rid of Roaches. Redbugs.

The housekeeper well knows that II
she would be free from the moth that
doth destroy, from the flies that tanta-
lize, from the bugs that disgust, she
must use the ounce OF prevention lib
orally, and that at no time is the ounce
of prevention so sure to make the
pound of cure unnecessary as at this
season Many remedies are vouched
for as the most etficacious to rid the
house of pests. For reaches, bedbugs,
in fact all vermin that delight in cracks
and crevices, benzine is an almost GER
tain destroyer. Put pure benzine in a
machine-oil can, and squirt into the
places where these terrors of the
housekeeper hide.
Ammonia is also remedy not dam
gerous, but most effective. Ammonia
should not be used on paint or varnish;
1t discolors the paint and turns varnish
white. Borax, powdered, Is an effect

freely around the sink and pipes, the
floor and the Dashboard, not once or
twice, but every night for a week, and
the result will justify The trouble.
