GREAT FIRE SHET.
II. Wide Extent and the Drs,ructiev
Force Of the Waters.

Each year, notably in the season be-
tween actual winter and conventional
snring there are floods III New Eng
land that seem SO widespread and de-
structiyc that the communities afflicted
think the waters must this time have
done their worst, says the Boston
Transcript Floods are, however, no
resnecters of records and the high-wa-
Ter mark of one year may be passed by
The swelling waters OF the next. The
foods that are now beginning to sub
side have broken the record at Man
chester. n. H.. where structures like
the steam bridge" OF the Amoskeag
company, built so far above the high
water mark as TO be deemed perfectly
safe from the maddest freshet, have
been carried away. The spectacle of
large. well-built, valuable business
block. undermined by the waters. slid
ing into the flood was the startling
feature of the freshets work at Dover,

The wide extent OF the territory
covered by the floods renders an esti--
mate of the damages inflicted very diff
ticult but there can be no question that
they will aggregate millions of dollars,
reckoning the costs OF repairs and re-
placements.
Speaking generally, the flood district
may be said to reach from Bangor, Me,
to Newburyport, Mass, east and west,
and from Northern Vermont southwark
to Springfield. Mass. The bridges that
have been swept away may be reck-
oned by scores along the course OF the
Androscoggin, Connecticut and Merri-
mac. and their replacement will make
big bill for communities and rail-
roads to pay. Travel eastward and
northward has been all but paralyzcd
for several days and to render Wasned-
out tracks safe and build temporary
bridges has called for an army in num-
bers and energy.

A lew of the first may some time reach
the dinner table of the queen. The
great crowd, however, will go hungry if
they wait for an invitation to dine with
her majesty As a substitute, all who
would like to learn what kind OF din
ners the queen of Great Britain eats
may duplicate for their Sunday dinner
the menu of the queens own Sunday
dinner, published herewith.
OF course, the queens cook dOesn
give her majesty the same dishes ev-
cry Sunday. as the Bostonians cling to
beans for breakfast. But this is con-
sdered an example of the Sunday
dinner prepared for her royal highness.
After studying the menu at this roy
al dinner some of those aspiring Amer
leans may be satisfied to remain at
home. The dinner isn't a bit more
elaborate or better composed than the
chefs of any number of wealthy Amer
leans serve without ostentation.
The menu card for this dinner mere
reproduced is about six inches wide and
eight inches deep. 1t is gilt edged with
glossy finish. The scroll border has
gilt ground with pink roses, blue
thistles. oak leaves and acorns in the
designs. Ireland is represented by de-
signs OF shamrOcks.

Before the mother could give warn

was steep and men wasted valuable
time looking for some place TO descend
without falling.

she would be dashed against the abut-

reached this port safely Monday, where
Col. Polk left us. The weather had been
bad all the way back. but shortly before
o'clock Tuesday night we sighted the
harbor of San Diego. By this time the
storm had fallen upon u.s. and we soon
saw that it would be impossible to enter
the harbor. For two hours we laid to
in the hope of being able to put into the
bay, but finally had to abondon this, and
started for San Pedro, running before
the wind.

starting, but his slumbers were not en-
