STORM DAMAGE AT TEE WHITE CITY.
Anew Of the Exhibit Buildings Injured and o
Restaurants Towers Twisted

CHICAGO. April 8.-An night the inspect
ors of the construction department at the
fair grounds made anxious tours among the
great structures that bore the brunt of the
heavy storm last night. The main solicit
were called upon to bear the weight Of
deluge after deluRe of water driven by q
wind almost cyclonic in Its force. While
the damage done was comparatively small,

was the sufferer among the State
buildings. The construction on
this building had been delayed
from lack of funds to complete it. and the
work of placing the siding had only lately
been begun. The open side of the building
was toward the wind. and several hundred
feet of siding was ripped of. Among the
foreign buildings the Swedish building
was tho unlucky one. q number of boards

structures damage was confined TO minor
leaks. started in the roof of the fisheries,

hibits were injured, except q number of
photographs in tho New South Wales col
lection.
Close to the fisheries building stands q
half-completed restaurant. called The
Cafe d'Marine." 1t was q very elaborate
affair. circled by q series Of round towers
rising to q height of seventy-two feet.
Surrounding it were four pyramidal-
shaped towers rising one hundred feet
high and surmounted by heavy gabled and
~corniced roofs. The structure was very top
heavy and poorly braced. none of the tim
bers apparently running through from
story to story. The structure showed the
| effects of the wind more than any other on
the grounds, being twisted and wrenched
to the northeast fully three feet out Of
plumb. The circling towers reminded one
of the pictures SO familiar of the leaning
tower of Pisa. The building cannot be
drawn back to its proper position, but will
be torn down.

Feeding Young Birds.

Young turkeys, during their first ten
days existence, do well if fed on hard
boiled eggs minced; add bread crumbs
the next week, and spice with chopped
parsley or onions; then omit the eggs,
feed on bread and vegetables for week
or two, after which substitute for bread
moistened meal, boiled peas, and, il
possible, millet. Give your young ducks
no food for the first twenty-four hours,
after which feed bread crumbs moist
ened in milk or water; corn bread
soaked in milk, but squeezed nearly
dry, is excellent, also corn meal pud-
ding. See that dishes containing the
food are kept clean, and that the food
does not sour. Ducklings require a
good deal of green food, and grit should
be supplied them. Give water for drink
ing purposes only. Feed your mother
less lamb on milk for awhile, and then
add bran; later you can give occasional
feeds OF corn meal.

JAPANESE POETESS.
Mrs. Mae st. John Bramhall, the Author
of Japanese Jingles.


Among the pretty poetesses recently
at Chicago for the worlds congresses
of women is Mrs Mae st. John Bran
hall, of Ell Paso, Tex.
Mrs. Bramhall was born in New York
state, but, having travelled around the
world so much, she has become cosmo-
pOlitan in her habits and tastes. She
has written several books, the most
successful of which are Japanese
Jingles" now in its second edition, and
around the World at Leisure Letters"
Like everyone else who has visited
Japan, Mrs Bramhall fell in love with
that eastern country. The prettiest of
her "Jingles" is the one which tells of
her regret on leaving Japan. Like Sir
Edwin Arnold, her muse always selects
a Japanese theme and her ideas give
evidence Of life in bungaloe and spins
In jinrickshaw.
Before going home the natives of the
Japanese village, with whom Mrs.
Bramhall can converse freely in their
native tongue, propose taking her
around the fair grounds in her favor
lite little Japanese carriage and treating
her to spread of tea and rolls and
rice, afterwards, To show how honored
a guest she is among them. The Japa-
nese appreciate highly the honor of
having an American poetess who
writes to them and for them And in
the matter of entertaining her, they
are not going to be whit behind tn,

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A REMARKABLE WOMAN
How Mrs. Coston Succeeded In Having
Her Signals Adopted by the Navy.

How Mrs. Coston Succeeded In Having
Her Signals Adopted by the Navy.
One of Washington's remarkable
women Is Mrs. Martha J. Coston, now
advanced in years, but brilliant in
mind as ever, and able to look back
upon a life full OF achievements Mrs.
Coston is the woman who, almost single
handed, and in the face OF tremendous
difficulties, brought the Coston signals
to their present perfection. Left n
widow at the age of 81, with three
children and no resources, she set out
bravely to develop an idea which she
found indicated among her husbands
papers This idea was TO furnish col
ored signals at night for ships in the
same way as colored flags were used
by day. The trouble was to find the
chemicals which would produce the
necessary colors, red, white and green,
in sufficient intensity. Mrs. Coston
worked at this problem for many
months, and after series of failures
finally succeeded, and the CostOn sig
mails were adopted by the American
navy and used during our late war.
What they did during that war is
known to every naval officer, although
scant justice has been rendered to the
plucky woman who furnished them.
Admiral Porter took Fort Fisher by tho
aid of the Coston signals, starting the
battle at night as he was able to do by
this HE h,-<lra h. 10 al.
of the war. II was the Coston signals
which saved twenty-seven lives of men
on board the famous Monitor lost off
Cape Hatteras.
1t is pleasure to hear Mrs. Coston
tell of her adventures In foreign lands,
for she has travelled all over the world
and seen the great people of many ma
tions. Half the countries of Europe
have adopted the Coston signals, and
whenever she arrives in one of these
capitals, Mrs. Coston is treated and re-
ceived as a benefactor to humanity.
Mrs. Coston was in Paris when the
French armies set out for the disas-
trous Ffanco-Prussiah war, and she
was shocked by the wild and disor-
Gerly appearance of the national guards
as they swarmed down the boulevards
behind the emperor, screaming the
6 Marseillaise.' She was in Berlin also,
a little later, in time to see King Will !
liam and his army start for the seat of
war. The contrast between the pray
erful earnestness of the one populace
and the riotous excitement of the other |
seemed to her full of significance for
the future.
Mrs. COston, in her travels through |
Europe, was received by the pope, by
Queen Victoria, by the French En-
peror and the Empress Eugene, by the
king and queen of Sweden. and by a
host of lesser celebrities. The anec-
iotes and amusing things she remcm-
bered about these august personages
would fill volume, and she has truly
American way of hitting off their little
and peculiarities.
Mrs Coston will send handsome ex-
hibit of the Coston signals to Chicago
under the direction of her son. One of
The most striking features of this ex-
hibit will be the Coston aerial signals,
which are shot into the air from pis-
tols, and can be seen at immense dis
Lances. illustrated American.

What ST. Lonis Woman Has Done for

What st. Louis Woman Has Done for
Less Fortunate Sisters.
In the suburbs OF st. Louis literary
woman, interested in the elevation and
welfare Of women, has devised plan
for delicate and practical help for wom-
en- less fortunate than herself, that
reaches the class of sufferers quite
without the pale of public charity and
more deserving than those who gener-
ally enjoy the benefcence of the char
table. Self-supporting. self-respecting
women are the only ones for whom no
sympathy is manifested, no homes or
retreat or retreats or asylums are pro-
vided when illness or misfortune makes
little temporary help most necessary.
The educated working woman is the
proudest and most dignified lady in the
land. She never parades her misfor-
tunes She is the most difficult woman
in the world to reach with help. But
this Mrs. Holmes, of st. Louis, makes her
pretty house veritable haven of refuge
to women weak and weary from over
work, close confinement or illness.
Once an inmate of her home they are
not made to feel their dependence in
the slightest degree, but are treated as
members of the family, supplied with
entertaining books, and strengthened
and refreshed in the atmosphere of re-
tinement and unselfshness until both
heart and body are strong again for
the battle of life. 1t is just this sort of
rest that many women of superior
minds in the work-a-day world need at
times, and which few women, who give
thousands of dollars for the rescue of
the depraved and the succor of the des-
titute and idle ever think of giving.

WOMEN IN THE CENSUS OFFICE.
Superintendent Porter Pays High Tribute
to Their Efficiency.

superintendent POrter rays a High Tribute
to Their Efficiency.
Mr.. Robert p. Porter, who has charge
of the compiling of all the statistics in
the country relative to the employment
of women and has under his direct
supervision no less than 1880 women
employees, says that women are espe-
cially fitted for such work as they are
called upon to perform in the census
office, as evidenced by their rapid and
almost complete monopoly of the places.
1t was Gen. Walker who gave the sex
the first trial in computing and tallying
in 1870, and found them so capable that
when the force was largest 700 women
were employed. Now the number has in
creased to nearly 1000 The examina-
lions for computers copyists, and
alike, and that most of the women were
obliged to accept subordinate places
was due to their inability to pass the
examination in simple arithmetic. 1t
is pertinent fact that the very girls
who failed in simple addition, fractions
and percentages knew much of art and
music, spoke foreign languages, and
were probably considered creditable
graduates of the institutions in which
they were educated. This was especial
ly noticeable in the girls who were
seminary and convent educated and in
the girls from the south. All of this
emphasizes the fact that much of
the primary and academic education
Of girls especially is lacking in practi-
cal features which will prepare stu
dents for the struggle of maintenance.
Much of the work in this department
is facilitated by the application of cleo
tricity to counting and mechanical de-
vices for tabulation, and in this work
Mr.. Porter has found that the women
show more aptitude and dexterity than
the men, while in computations he
found them more accurate than their
male rivals. They are more exact in
touch, more expeditions in handling
the schedules, more at home in adjust
ing the delicate mechanism of the APP
paratus. AS private and confidential
secretaries in public offices, Mr. Porter
believes that competent and trained
women are far superior to men. They
are, as rule, conscientious, they rare
ly or never betray confidence, and are
not likely to give out Office secrets to |
cornwall friends over a glass of wine
and cigar.-N Y Sun |
