LUMBER BURNED.
Chicago Visited by a Blaze
That Licked Up 81, 500, 900
Worth of Property.
a sudden Change In the Wind Made Z,
Hot for Fire Engines and
Fire Boats.

CHICAGO Aug. THE lumber district
Of Chicago was tonight visited by one Of
the most disastrous fires in its history.
and the loss will probably foot up be
tween 81 10000 and 81 10000. although
it will be twentyfour hours before the
damage can be estimated with accuracy.
The burned district is about two
squares from east TO west. and about
three from north 10 south. The greater
portion Of the district bounded 10y Blue
Island avenue. Lincoln street, the river
and Ashland avenue was burned over,
and forty acres Of lumber yards are now
nothing but smoking embers. The Mar
tin yards are 800 feet long 10y 800 feet
vide. and the flames originated in ex-
actly the right spot for strong north
west wind which was blowing at the
time, to carry them through the entire
length and breadth Of the yards.
Wind drove the flames 50 fiercely that
the fire engines which arrived were
/ helpless. and call after call for additional
| help was made until over fifty engines
! and three fire boats were al work. Piles
Of lumber. lath and shingles and cedar
posts we're swallowed up with appalling
| rapidity and for time it seemed az
though the finest lumber district IN the
city which reach mile to the south
would be consumed. The wind. however
suddenly changed and began to blow
from the south. and with less violence
than before The flames started rapidly
north ana burned bacK to line leve
with the starting point
The sudden change IN the direction d
the flames caught several engine com
panies unprepared. and the men wer,
compelled to run for their lives. No en-
gines were abandoned. but three Of then
had close calls. Horses aud men mar
rowly escaped death.
The tire boat Yosemite was at work il
one Of the slips when the direction o
the fire changed. and the long tongue
which shot over, made it necessary tha
she be removed at once. She was gottel
out OF the way, but not before she ha'
been severely scorched in several places
The fire boat Geyser had also clos
call. but ran through flames which leapet
out over the slip and escaped unharmed
Two Of her men. John Mccain AM
Thomas Freezing. were badly burne'
while fighting the fire. A large "Siamese
hose. which they were holding, got ava,
from them and knocked them over th'
side of the boat upon pile of burnlnI
cedar posts few feet away. Their il
juries are not fatal
1t is difficult to Obtain an estimate q
the losses. but the following are believe
TO be about correct: S. X. Martin con
pany, 100000; Siemens a Halske, $500
600; Perlee. Lowe &Co., sl45.OO; Sho'
maker & Higbee, $4,000; John Spr

About Cooking

In the days when our English fore
fathers were more concerned about plenty
of hard fighting than about the way
their food was prepared, the proverb
God sends. meat but the devil sends
cooks" must have been uttered by some
tough old warrior who was wrestling
with an unsavory dinner. Since that
time. the world has been reaching the
conclusion that means Of gauging the
civilization of people is the state OF
their cookery, and now great deal OF
attention is paid to gastronomic science.
Cooking schools have been established
in the cities, manyof our public ward
schools give cooking lessons two or three
times week, while this year the Mime
sofa School of Agriculture holds sum
mer school of dairying and cooking for
women. What we eat has become of im
! portance and how it is to be cooked rs
is a question not to be disregarded. Al
ways leaders in the improvement and al
vance incident to civilization, railroad
companies took the initiative and. by
the establishment of veritable hotels OF
on wheels. rescued the traveller from thu

was almost sure to be wrecked. At th'

THE wHIrR HOUSE AS IT WAS.
Changes Which Have Taken Place
In the Historic Structure.

When the White House was buff it
COST the government far less than $780,
QUO, but the repairs to the historic
structure which have been made from
year TO year have brought etile total I'D
TO $2,50O,OO0, says the New York World.
The sweepdng character of the
changes that have been made in the
building may be Illustrated by an in
cident that happened during Mr..
Cleveland's first administration Judge
Holman, of Indiana, who believes that
the White House should have been kept
IN all its original simplicity, acoompan-
led a niece of John Quincy Adams, a
spinster of advanced age, to the man
SION and proceeded TO show her about
the building. She was particularly anx-
4ous to view the famous East room,
and when she was escorted there and
saw the g-istening chandeliers and the
great oil paintings and silken furni-
ture, she threw up both hands and ex-
claimed: Lord a massy! What
changes! Why, there used to be a wash
bowl over near those windows, and in
Wonder corner there was a wash tub
We stretched clothes lines across. the
rooms by means. of hooks stuck in the
walls, and in this corner near the front
were all our playthings''
Her amaZement was indescribable
when she saw the gorgeous red and
blue rooms. Judge Holman Is said to
have shifted his quid of plug cut and
remarked: Big changes, madame big
changes! Useless expenditure of money,
useless expenditure of money!

MAY MARRIAGES UNLUcKY.
An Old Superstition Which Has Pow.
erfuI influence With Brides.

The municipal statistics Of the city OF
Mauseilles. France, show that on the
2Sth of April, 1894, there were registered
at the mayors office in that town no
less than "a marriages Why this
enormous number? Because, accord
ing to the ancient tradition, couples
that marry in the month Of May ex-
pose themselves to great danger
death viii soon smite the unfortunates
or, at the very least their union will
not be blessed with children. Therefore
a large number of Marseilaise lovers
awaited themselves of the last days OF
April to join themselves in wedlock.
This curious superstition is by nc
means confined to Marseilles. NJ lie
Blaut q French investigator. ascribes
to 1t an origin in Roman antiquity. The
Roman poet Ovid said that May was no
time for widows to MARRY, or for young
girls, and adds that the imprud ent
woman who braves fate by so doing
will die early. Piutarch agrees to the
truth Of this.
1t may be because Of this ancient
principle that the Roman Catholic
church has made the month of Nav
sacred to the Virgin. However this may
be, the idea has certainly perpetuated
soni, writing about the middle of the
Seventeenth century, relates that
among the inhabitants of Ferrara
many young nobLes and princes who
were married in May died only few
days afterward. at is the observation
of this strange fact" he observes. that
induced the Ferrarese, so it is said, to
follow the ancient custom"
At the present day the superstition
has not ceased to show itself in GER
tain regions of Italy. in Roumania, in
South Germany, Bohemia, Westphalia,
England and France, notably in Saint
onge and in the Cevennes, where every
one acknowledges the truth of the PROV
erb, 1.-The month of flowers is the
month of tears
Perhaps" said Plutarch, the month
of May is regarded as unlucky because
it comes between April and June, the
months respectively Of Venus and
Juno, the tutelary goddesses of mar
riage. Or perhaps it is because May is
the month of the feast of the Lemurs,
the souls of the dead"
