LATEST DISPATCHES FROM
AT HOME AND ABROAD.

On a Burning Ship at Seattle Gel
lert's Passengers Have a Thrill
ling Experfence-An Arctic Ex-
pedition-MissG Garland a Suicide
Fall in Silver
The steamer Gellert, which arrived at New
York City from Hamburg, brought ifty-four
cabin and 221 Storage passengers, who had
a thrilling experience on the voyage. She
reports that on Sunday at noon, the officer
on watch received Information that there
was fire In the afterpart of the ship. The
captain was Immediately informed, and all
hands ordered on deck. When they came to
the afterpart of the ship they found smoke
coming out of the ventilators which enter
the Storage.
The venti!ators and all other openings
were Immediately closed and steam and
water put onto the steerage and lower hold
to extinguish the fire. After this was done
boats were made ready for use and the cabin
deck put under water.
All the cabin passengers and their ehects
were removed from the afterpar of the vessel
and the engine stopped to avoid any draught
while efforts were made to discoverthe where
abouts of the fire. Holes were then drilled
from the cabin deck to the steerage, but this
work had to be abandoned on account of the
smoke coming out Of the holes.
Another trial was made to descend from
the overlook to the fire by way of the main
hatch. but this also had Il, be given up on tho
same account. All the openings were then
closed for the night.
In the morning several other attempts
were made to enter the Storage, but without
success. rapidly increasing temperature
was discovered in the saloon the carpets,
which had been left wet in the saloon TO keep
the deck cool. were removed, and 1t was then
discovered that smoke was coming out of the
deck seams.
The passengers, who up to this time had
behaved with remarkable GOODNESS, now be-
came wild with fear, being convinced that
they were over 4 fiery furnace and that the
ship was doomed. There was a mad scram-
BILE for the upper deck and a frantic rush for
the boats which were soon filed with pale
faced men and shrieking women and chill
dreD.
After n time the excitement became al
layed when there was no appearance OF
flames, and many of the passengers assisted
the crew in the work of locating the fire,
which was finally discovered in the lower
hold on the starboard side, under tho first
cabin saloon. 1t was extinguishcd ut noon,
after jettisoninS some of the cargo. The loss
is estimated at S25, 900.

greater Importance, to its safety. Do
not hang the harness in n horse stable.
The ammonia arising from the floor
is very destructive to leather of any
kind. Before oiling the harness, re-
move all dirt and dsndruff by thor
oughly washing with strong CASTLE
soap suds. The harness should be
taken apart before commencing opera
tions. Choose a warm day, if done
out of doors, or work near stove If
indoors. As soon as dry, any of the
harness oils may be applied with q
wooden cloth, or soft sponge, using
care to saturate every portion. After
each strap has been oiled, bend it back
and forth, thereby introducing the oil
to the very center Of each strap. If
not previously oiled for long time, a
second application should be given,
and after q few hours go over with q
dry cloth, removing all that has not
been absorbed. In place of the usual
meats -foot or petroleum harness oil,
melted lard free from salt, or even I'M
sailed butter, may be used. 1t is bet

what tallow there may be, will make a
most valuable dressing of almost the
consistency of oil, and may be bottled

add little lampblach. This will prove
equally efficacious as dressing for
boots and shoes. Fifty cents worth
of these shin bones, obtained of any
butcher, will yield enough neat's-foot

THE CABBAGE WORM.

The green cabbage worm is most
easily destroyed by sprinkling solu-
tion of ssltpetre on the leaves. This
kills the small worms before they have
done much mischief. It is much less
trouble than picking off the worms,
but this may be done when only few
plants are grown in a small garden.
The solution may be sprayed on the
plants by suitable force pump. Such
a machine is made and sold by dealers
in agricultural implements, to be
strapped to mans back and carry the
supply in a small tank, the liquid flow
ing from it through fine nozzle as
the man walks along. For few plants
the hand rubber sprayer or a large
syringe may be used. 1t is said that
wheat bran sprinkled on the plants
will keep off the worms, but it is not
SO effective as the saltpetre solution.
The parent of this worm is white
butterfly with small black spots on the
wings; if this is caught by a small
hand net it will prevent the laying of
hundreds of eggs, and as many worms
that will have to be killed otherwise.

PREVENTING CHICKEN Pox.

Owing to his vigilance and the con-
stancy of his labors in the earlier part
of the year, the poultry raiser is apt
to take things easier now, and liable
to neglect to keep the coops of his
chickens clean. But they need just as
much attention now as ever-more if
there is any difference, for the amount
of droppings increases with the size of
the chickens, 1t is in unclean coops
that the chicken pox usually appears.
About the sides of the face and on the
comb, wattles and earlobes, may be
noticed scabs. Ii nothing is done for
them, the disease sometimes SO spreads
as to make the head solid sore, and
even to destroy the sight and cause
death Remove the scabs and rub in
dry sulphur twice day. A few appli-
cations will usually affect cure. In
the South this disease is treated with
an ointment of salt and lard rubbed
into the sores. A few applications will
suffice. A little sulphur in the food is
helpful. American Agriculturist.

Balloons for War.

Samuel A. King, the aeronaut, who
had SO narrow all escape from drown
ing in Lake Michigan recently, has for
g. long time turned his knowledge to
the use of aeronautics in the science of
war. During the threatened hostili-
ties with Chile he rendered his services
to ex-Secretary Tracy, Of the Navy,
for balloon service, in which COM
pressed hydrogen was to be used as the
initiating gas. His system included a
group of seven balloons, the car being
a metal boat built in sections; each of
which was to be alright. For OBJ
servation purposes the group was to
be what is known as captive and tele-
phonic communication established
with the flagship of the fleet. The
casks of compressed hydrogen were to
be stored on the metal boat and used
when necessary for further imitation.
The professor has an autograph letter
from ex-Secretary Tracy, in which his
system is highly commended. The
professor said that from an altitude of
5000 he could make observations over
the area of a circle hose radius is 100
miles If it was deemed necessary to
use the group for offensive purposes
it could be made a most destructive
agency. When the winds were favor
able it could hover over an encmy's
fleet, Notifications or city, and by
bombs loaded with dynamite
or other explosive material, prove an
ugly customer. During the late en-
broglio with Great Britain regarding
the Boring Sea, King visited Washing
ton and rendered his ideas to Score
tary Herbert. He was to establish
signal service on each of the great
lakes. It was accepted contingently
upon the event of hostilities being de-
clared. Boston Transcript.

PROPER CARE OF HARNESS.

Some farmers pay little attention to
the proper care of their harness, de-
voting less attention to it than livery
men, cab and hack drivers, who at
tend to this matter because it pays
them we'll to do so. 1t is not a rare
sight to see farmers heavy draught
and single harness that have been
used for several years without drop
of any lubricant touching them since
they came from the dealers hands.
All the leather portion is hard and
brittle, and presents dull appear
ance. If used during a shower, the
parts that are rubbed look more like
porous sole leather than an oak-tanned
article. Such treatment shortens the
life and usefulness of the harness at
least one half; whereas, few cents
worth of oil and two or three hours
time each year would not only make
the harness far more presentable, but

FOUNDATIONS OF PROFITABLE DAIRY1NG

FOUNDATIONS OF PROFITABLE DAIRYING.
The foundations of profitable dairy
ing consist of good COWS that are
literally fed and MIXED with exact
regularity, and On intelligent and OBJ
servant owner. With these essentials
present the details of the business are
soon acquired, and the degree of
prosperity is measured by the attention
given to the work and the ability
manifested in it's execution. Dairying
is a calling that requires the eye of
the owner to be watchful and his mind
to be thoughtful. He must be quick
to detect and prompt to investigate
and correct every unusual occurrence
that initiates against the comfort and
well being OF his herd. Such a man
is always abreast of the knowledge of
the times because he is q student, not
only of his speciality, but Of all the
various things that interest mankind.
It is only by utilizing all forms of
knowledge that the development Of
specialties is possible, and the wider
the degree of knowledge the specialist
possesses the greater his success.
Dairying is speciality and the wiser
the dairyman is the better his dairy.
All his knowledge crystallizes there
to his personal advantage and the
benefit of the consumers of his product.

ABOuT KILLING POrLTRY.


Views as to the best mode of killing
fowls differ, and the practice on
general farms to chop off the head
with Ratchet remains On the
broiler farms the French method of
stabbing the bird in the roof of the
mouth and plucking the feathers while
the body is warm, is adopted as the
quickest and best. When killing with
the Ratchet, as is generally the case
make loop of a piece of string, which
place about the fowls head. Let one
person pull on this while the execu-
toner holds the birds feet and the
tops of the wings in his left hand. In
the right hand he holds the Ratchet.
The person with the string now pulls
the head over block, and with one
blow the executioner performs his
task. The bird is then held until life
is extinct This prevents the bird
from getting its feathers soiled. Some
advise to perforate the neck and let
the blood all run out before dressing.
Others think the process of depletion
renders the meat less savory than it
would be if a portion of the circulation
was retained in the body. The plan
of breaking the neck was at one time
generally practiced by dealers. Tt
was claimed for this method that
it not only gave speedy death, but
that the flavor of the flesh was better
than when all the blood was drained
out. The bird is taken by the legs
and wings in the left hand, while the
head is taken in the right, the body
and neck being stretched to the ex-
IRENE length, the head is then bent
backwards and pulled at the same
time. Dislocation takes place, and
the body is held in the same position
two or three minutes for the blood to
run into the neck. Then, and not
before, should plucking begin.-Iowa
