The Great ouIf Storm.

A late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives a more hopeful view of the
situation. Hundreds Of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm and in a few weeks everything will
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away the salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, Even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards were washed
clean and show no signs Of their salt
bath" The wharves are being rebuilt,
and tine vessels high and dry on the road
are being wrecked and removed. Right
in front Of the Montross House the
wreckage Of several vessels and lumber
yards accumulated and greatly protected
the property. The yard fence was the
only one left standing along the entire
beach. The restitution in Biloxi Is re-
ported as being rapidly lessened. Among
the prominent citizens Of Biloxi who lost
their lives in the great storm was Cap
tain W. H. Patton Of Back Bay. He
was on the schooner La Marsh, and he
and all his crew were lost. His remains
were found dashed TO his schooner some
days after the storm had subsidized.

Wetting the hair Is very necessary
when swimming. Many women never
do so, as the care Of their hair afterward
Is too great a trouble. In a number Of
cases the failure to do this has proven
fatal from the rush Of blood to the head
and exposure to the sun. There has been
such an instance in Hampstead harbor
this summer A young woman bathed
In the heat of the MONDAY sun Imme-
diately after coming out of the water she
complained Of a severe pain in her head.
That night the pains grew so much worse
that the next day she was taken home.
Within two weeks she died of brain fever,
and the physicians ascribed it to her fail
ure to wet her hair.-Brooklyn Eagle.

FOR SMALL PINS AND HAT PINS.

yellow silk. Un the linen are em- broidered buttercups here and there, and as it is thin and sheer the tint of the silk gives it just tender yellow tone. The lace makes frill and is finished with heading of white lace through which narrow yellow ribbon is run. Large dogs ears bows of broad satin ribbon are placed opposite one another, just midway of the round, and the completed trifle stands upon table that is all white and gold.
 Of the same coloring, and, in fact, upon the same stand, is the hat-pin cushion, which is also round, but which differs essentially from that de- signed for ordinary pins. It is made within decorated china bowl, and is just deep enough to hold the long pins upright and big enough to allow of keeping a goodly store.
 The special one to which I allude is gold and white, to suit the stand and all the paraphernalia that it holds, but it tmight be blue, pink, green, or, indeed, anything you may prefer. The pecul- iarity of the bowl is the only essential point, and to make the cushion fit ex- actly requires the same care and the same method whatever the color or design may be.
 Select pretty bowl about five or six inches across, then cut a round of heavy cardboard to fit it slightly be- low the edge. Cover the cardboard loosely with a large round of cotton cloth exactly as you would cover an old time button mold, but leave it loose to allow of filling or stuffing, as is the better word. Stuff the cotton we'll with bran till you have firm cir 'cular mound, pouring it in through a slit in the center, which yon must afterward closo. Then cover with em- broidered linen or some small-figured silk. Paste round the inner edge of the bowl with glue or strong flour paste, drop in the cushion, and wheI it is dry you will find it stuck fast. N. Y. Herald.

New Use for Oranges.

The housewives in Florida have found a new ush for oranges. They scrub the floor with them. Go into all most any town in the orange-growing districts and you will see the women using the luscious fruit exactly as our housekeepers use soap. They cut the oranges in halves and rub the flat. ex- posed pulp on the floor. The acid in the oranges doubtless does the clean ing, but at any rate the boards are as white as snow after the application.
 1t is thought that lemons would be better than oranges for this purpose,

The Souvenir Pin Craze.

Tho spoon craze has well-nigh run Its course. Women who have 100 or 200 spoons of different shapes, sizes and designs have turned their backs on the fad, and now it languishes. But a new one is springing up in its place, as silly fad as ever tempted the soul of woman to extravaganza. It is the collection of hat pins. Many of these pins would serve for daggers, 'tis true; but the usefulness of the dagger. is after all. circumscribed. It would per haps be just as well if the hat pin craze were punctured with one of its own weapons.-N. Y. Times.
