ONE THOUSAND PERISH.
Hundreds of Vessels in Hong Kong
Harbor Detroyed with Great
Loss OF Life.

Hong Kong, Aug. 31.--A terrible fire
has occurred on the Canton river. A
flower boat caught fire and the flames
spread until hundreds of those crafts
were destroyed. The progress of the fire
was so rapid that at least 1000 natives
persisted in the flames. The flower boats
were moored stem and stern in rows,
and large numbers of natives live upon
them. The spread of the conflagration
from one boat to another was rapid
that the unfortunate Chinese had no
time to cut them from their mornings.
A strong wind materially helped to in
crease the fire. Many hundreds of per-
sons on board the flower boats leaped
overheard and were drowned while sever
al hundred others remained on board the
crafts and persisted in the flames.

l'EPITA.

Up in her balcony where
Vines through the latticeS run,
Splitting scent on the air.
Setting Il screen to the sun
Fair as the morning is fair.
Sweet as 4 blossom is sweet,
DWellS in her rosy retreat
Pepita.
Often 4 glimpse of her face
When the wind ruStleS the vine
Parting the leaves for a space.
Gladuens this window of mine;
Pink in its leafy embrace.
Pink as the morning is pink,
Sweet as 4 blossom | think
Pepita.
/ who dwell over the way
Watch where Pepita is hid,
Safe from the glare of the day,
Like an eye under its lid;
Over and over | say:
Name like the song of bird,
Melody shut in a word
''Pepita.''
Look where the little leaves stir.
Look. the green curtains are drawn,
There in Il biossomy blur
Breaks a diminutive dawn
Dawn and the pink face of her!
Name like lisp of the South.
Fit for roses small mouth

DROWNED IN A FLOOD.
Many Persons Lose Their Lives by
the Overflow Of River in

Texas.
Uvalde, Tex. Sept IA terrible catas-
trophe befell this town Thursday night
and there is mourning in many house
holds. The treacherous Leona river,
swollen TO a raging torrent by recent
rains. rushed. without moments warm
ing. down upon the town, snbmerging
and wrecking many houses and drowning
number of persons. In this arid sec
ton such destructiveness by the elements
has never before been chroncled. In the
excitement of the day it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned.
Among the bodies that have been identi-
fed are:
TWO MEXICANS.
MRS. JOE HATCH.
MISS MATTE EDWARDS.
CHILD OF MIR. MALEY.
While reports are incomplete regarding
the loss of life, it is estimated that no
less than twenty or twenty-five people
have been drowned, and the losses to
property of all kinds viii exceed $4,000
900.
st. Louis, Mo, Sept IA speclai
from San Antonio to the Post Dispatch
says: The scene of destruction and les-
olation in the flooded district for Il dis
lance of 100 miles east and west from
here and extending south from the South
ern Pacific railway to the Rio Grande is

sands of acres of pasture and farm lane
are still under water. 1t is estimated
that the damage to crops in the valley
of the Leona river alone will reach 5000
900, while in the valleys of the Saco and
Sabinal rivers the losses will be fully as
much more Many thousand head of cat
tie. horses and sheep were swept away
and drowned Up to midnight all tele-
grams received here by Southern Pacific
railroad officials and reports came by way
of Eel Paso, Pueblo and Kansas City. all
connection with Uvalde and other food
ed towns being cut off. Reports received
this morning are more alarming than the
earlier ones. 1t is still matter of uncer-
tainty as to the number of lives lost, but
additions to the list of drowned are con-
stantly being added. About one-half of
the houses in Uvalde, town of $500
popula ton, were carried away, and there
is much suffering there by homeless fam
lilies, but no more fatalities are reported
there. Nothing has yet been heard from
the settlement of Seyenty-hve families
several miles below Uvalde, but there
are still grave fears that many, it not
all, of them were swept down by the
torrent and lost. The town of Bates
vile was entirely inundated and there
was heavy loss of property, but 40 lives
were reported lost There are several
other towns in the flooded district, but
they are away from railroads and tele-
graphs and nothing will be heard until

TALKS WITH MOTHERs.-No. 8.


Every mother wants her baby to thrive,
because healthy child is o happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
it is now realized how much the health of a
child can be influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being so generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for sub
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellin'S Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite
constituents necessary to give child
health, vigor and vitality. Infants are ex-
ceedngly fond of it and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, firm muscles and strong consti-

being highly nutritious and easily digested,
