There are more than two.n The ex-ius-

white mice inside instead of the original
pair, and he told the youngster that it
was but the natural increase incident to

Edible Flowers.

The latest novelty in the vegetable
line is the introduction of edible flow
ers. The two which are said to be the
most satisfactory belong absit omen
Ito the thistle family, and rejoice in
the names calligonum polygonoides and
bastia latifolia. The popular favor of
both English and French seems to be
somewhat hard to conquer in the case
of these new dishes, but doubtless all
will come in time. It is related of q
clever Boston woman that once while
she was living in the country abroad,
In spot where the markets were ex-
tremely unreliable, she was one day
surprised by the arrival of several
guests near by the dinner .hour. 1t
chanced, as it usually does in such
cases, that on that especial day her

and she had little to set before her
guests. Her wit helped her out, how

and selecting number of fine clus-
ters she had them dipped in batter and
then fried in boiling oil.
The dish was not only an extremely
ornamental one, the shape of the clust-
ers being not unlike that of grapes, but
it proved very palatable as well, and if
it was not very substantial it at least
went no inconsiderable way toward
giving the appearance of solidity to the
somewhat scanty dinner. Boston

Curious Facts.

DR.. Gravenigo, of the University OF

formed an operation which hitherto
1 has been vainly tried by various exper-
imenters, both in France and else

ported by Gravenigo the graft is said
to have united quickly, and formed q
cornea which was very transparent,
shining and convex.

The Washstand.

There is no piece Of bedroom furni-
ture that is such problem as the
washstand- 1t is easy enough TO get
pretty dressing table. The furniture
shops are full Of chests of drawers mod
elled after Sheraton, OF in the massive
old English patterns of the Restora-
ton. But washstands are usually
clumsy pieces Of furniture at best. Sta
tionary washstands were long ago dis
carded from sleeping rooms by sensible
people and relegated TO Office use, where
they belong. The enamelled metal
washstands of the English probably
solve this problem Of the house better
than anything is. They are of solid
metal, but made so as to be light, and
are heavily enamelled in white aud
sometimes, though rarely, gilded
slightly in raised lines. The wash
bowl is sun k in the top of the stand and
is generally of some pretty sprigged
pattern in colors. With such wash
stand there is no fear of splashing
water, for it may be as easily wiped
off the washstand without injury as
from marble.
English metal washstands range
from IS upward and a pretty English
decorated toilet set, which usually
comes with them, costs about $8 to $40
more in this country. People with ar
tistic tastes often utilize the little teak
wood tables with sunken slabs in their
top as washstands. When fitted with
odd pieces of china, as they usually
are, these are quaint and pretty, but
SO small that the soap tray and other
little pieces of the toilet table are mo-
mentarily in danger of falling of. Teak
wood stands costs So and SO.

TERRIBLE STORM.
The Steamer Erin and More Than
Eighty Lives Lost
I.iko n Cocltle-Shell Egypt Is Tossed About
Many Disasters ON the Sea.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The National Limo
steamer Erin, from New York, for Lon
don, has now been out twenty-five days,
and there is hardly any doubt in mari
time circles that some disaster has be-
fallen her. The fears concerning her
safety have been greatly augmented by
report made by the British steamer
Creole. Captain Darling, at Bremen,
from New Orleans, who, on January q,
saw q steamers life-boat adrift
bearing the name Erin. The Creole
brought the boat alongside and took
from it ten ash oars and mast and sail.
A life's buoy, steamers bridge and an
awning were also seen floating near the
life-boat. The Erin was bark-rigged,
iron screw steamer of 2,910 net and 4,50o
gross tons. She was built at Newcastle
in 1864. She was twenty-four days out
from New York and had not been
spoken. She had dccl-load of cattle
in pens and general cargo, including
cotton below decks. She carried no
passengers. She was commanded by
Captain Tyson, and had crew of sixty
or seventy men and about fifteen
cattle men. She was one of the
swiftest and stanchest of the
older vessels of the National Line.
The Cunard Line steamers Callia, Cap
tain Murphy from New York, and the
Catalonia, Captain Atkins, from Boston,
which arrived at Queenstown yesterday,
report that on January Is, when in lati.
tude about 40 north longitude and about
20 west, they passed quantity of wreck
age and a number of dead cattle. The
report of the steamship Creole, from
New Orleans to Liverpool, of having
found life boat of the Erin and discov-
cred life buoy, bridge, an awning and
ten oars near by, has caused added alarm
for the safety of the vessel.
New York. Jan. GA Halifax spec
ial says: The steamer Egypt put into
this port yesterday morning short of
coal. Captain Sumner reports that he
left London January 2 for New York.
After leaving port he experienced very
heavy weather. At times the waves
wore tremendous, sweeping clear over
the vessel. A huge wave struck her
amidships, carrying away part of the
rail. The captain says tho
weather experienced on this voy-
age was the worst he has met in many
years. He had to jettison portion of
the cargo. The steamer Rhatea, of the
Hamburg Line, also put in here for coal.
The captain reports terrible weather.
He had to use oil to protect his vessel
from the tempestuous seas. Captain
Jurgenscn, of the steamer Sorrento,
which also arrived, had his hand broken
by being knocked down by a wave which
swept over the vessel.

DENVER, Jan. 27.-A terrible wind
storm has been raging in Eastern Col
prado. Denver streets have been al
most deserted from morning till night,
and reports from the divide country
show 1t to be the worst storm in years.
Trains on the Santa Fe, Rio Grande and
Ft. Worth were moved yesterday only
by gangs Of section men clearing the
sand which fills the cuts from the
rails. The path of the heaviest storm
Is down the mountains through Mon
ument, Colorado Springs and Manitou.
A telephone from Monument at 8
o'clock last evening said that many out
buildings had been DESTROYED and citi-
Eens were moving from their houses and
taking refuge in the brush. 1t reached
q hurricane at Manitou. Buildings are
reported wrecked and sidewalks lifted
bodily through the air. To add to the
ominous situation fire has broken out In
the mountains between that point and
Pixies Peak and is spreading over the
hills with fearful rapidity 1t is only
two miles from the town and
slight change in the wind
would soon drive it into town
and nothing could save the beautiful
mountain resort, with its mammoth
hotels and elegant cottages Heavy
explosions last evening along the mount
aims in the vicinity of graders camps
On the Pixies Peak railroad lead to the
belief that the fire has reached the
powder magazine. There are hundreds
of men in the mountains, and grave
fears are entertained for their safety.
Fires are also reported on the mountains
east of Pixies Peak. 1t is reported
that the wind is unusually severe
on Pike Peak, and that at railway
grading camp halfway up the mountain
several men were killed by being blown
over precipice. This report, however,
is not confirmed North of Denver the
storm has devastated the country fol-
miles, and at Louisville, the center OF
the storm, many dwellings were com.
pletely wrecked. At Fort Collins the
new college building was demolished
and trains on all tho lines were com
PEELED to stop in sheltered places tc
avoid the storm.
