SAN FRANCIsco, Sept. 13.-What
proved to be q disastrous fire broke out
early this afternoon in Somers & Co.'s
hay barn, corner East and Folsom
streets. The flames were soon beyond
control, threatening not only adjacent
buildings, but all the wharves and ship
ping in that vicinity. After the second
alarm had brought all the available ap-
paratus of the FIRE department. to the
scene. the firemen finally gained the
mastery over the clement, but not until
swept by flames. All the buildings de-
stroyed we're low wooden structures,
being mostly saloons, sailor boarding

the flames spread to the wherves, but
each time the blaze was promptly ex-
tinguished.
Nearly 80 buildings were destroyed
and several others badly scorched. The
total loss is estimated at not over $780,
600, however, the destroyed structures
having been enything but substantial.
The total insurance will not exceed $12,-
900, as underwriters had been very
cautious in placing riakS in the block.
The heaviest losers are Somers & Co.,
dealers In hay and grain. and Scott &
MoCord, draymen. These firms lose
fully $4,000 each. Holes were burned
through the roofs of some Of the wharf
buildings and several ships in the docks
were slightly damaged, but the loss to
the shipping interests is nominal.

WHEN BABY BATTLES.
Several Small Details Which Should Not
BE Neglected.

Several Small Details Which Should Not
BE Neglected.
Before baby takes the all-over morn
ing bath, there are sever,.l small de-
tails to be attended to- Which will
simplify matters for nurse or mother,
and give to the little one l. comforta-
bly-cleanly person.
Have at hand a cupful of lukewarm
water, together with two pieces of soft
old linen, one of which, dipped in
water, will cleanse the corners of the
eyes, while the other, wet with borax
and water and passed about inside the
lips, will give the mouth a wholesome
sweetness.
The head bath comes next. A velvet
sponge or the palm of the hand should
be dipped in water to which has been
added a teaspoonful of borax, and
passed across the silky head-fuzz,
which is then dried with some soft
fabric.
Now the tiny bather is ready for a
body-bath. The temperature of the
water must be carefully suited to. it's
system. If healthy and vigorous. it
will enjoy a tubful of tepid water;
but. if not very robust, baby should be
given a, daily sponge bath for several
months, followed by vigorous rub
with alcohol or olive oil, applied with
the palm of the hand. Either the al
cohol or the oil will be found strength
ening and a preventive of colds, but
the alcohol, on account of its drying
propensities, is less desirable than the
oil.
Speaking of baby's bath. perhaps
some mothers would appreciate a hint
as to the getting up of a unique little
tub. which will furnish this sweetest
piece of natures bric-a-brac with the
morning ablution.
Take a tin dishpan-the largest of
it's kind-and enamel outside and in
with some faint-hued enamel, either
violet, rose, azure or buttercup yellow
If anything of an artist, the deco
rator may touch up the sides and bot
tom of the pan with oils, scattering
across the enamel surface few feath-
cry grasses, or blossoms.
A couple of big bows decking the
handles complete the beauty of this
masquerading dishpan, but when the
tub is in active use, the lustrous
lengths of ribbon will have to be ban
ished to some other corner of the in
fantile wardrobe, or laid aside until
called upon to add beauty to the basin,
when it is brought out to receive the
admiration Of the little king or queen
willing subjects. Days.
