QUARANTINE APPLIED.

Mr.. Chas. III. Denzer, representing a
lamp and glass company of Pittsburg,
Pa. came in this morning from New
Orleans on the Southern Pacific train
which was quarantined at Houston.
He says he had clean bill of health
from the New Orleans board of health
but the mayor of Houston and his
patrolemen would not even read it and
would not allow any of the passengers
to get off the train or even get cup
of coffee or water. They were treated
he says, most shamefully, and more
like animals than human beings.

A Severe Storm.
II Plays Havoc On The Coast Of

Struck SABINE Pass and Port Arth.
ur Last Night and Eight
Lives Reported Lost.

The Light learned this morning
from private source that a severe
storm struck Port Arthur and Sabine
Pass last night, which was most dis
astrous. Property was destroyed and
it is reported that number of lives
were lost. 1t was impossible to learn
any more particulars for today's
Light, as all the wires in that vicinity
are down. 1t is believed to be one of
the severest storms that has prevail
ed on the Texas coast.
Port Arthur and Sabine Pass are on
the Texas coast, near the Louisiana
boundary.
The report is verified by the follow
ing special received by the Light at
2:3O o'clock:

An incoming Santa Fe passenger con-
ductor reports that Southern Paci-
fic passenger conductor at Rosenberg

Sabine Pass that wrecked everything.
A train was sent from Beaumont to
Sabine Pass but could not get within
eight miles of the town and eight peO-
pie were drowned. Wires in all di-
rections are down, and no definite in
formation can be obtained.

Owls are by common consent adjudged
to be birds of ill-omen, but Engineer
Ned Barnett, of the Santa Fe, says he
happens to know that they are any
thing but that, and tells the following
story to prove his assertions: About
eight months ago, one morning as the
cast-bound overland was pulling
through the mountains west Of here,
Rarnett's engine doing the work. . big
horn-beakcd owl dashed against the
front window of the cab with such force
rs to break the window, the bird itself
dropping dead ut the engineers feet.
Though Barnett IL not, generally speak
ing, . superstitious man, this seemed
20 singular an occurrence that he
stopped the train and sent brakeman
ahead 70 zee il the way was clear.
Strange to relate the brakeman soon
returned, reporting landslide acrcss
the track in the mountain pass. about
ITO yards ahead. Hands were sent at
once to clear the track. and in remov-
ing the debris they found another owl,
Eo doubt mate to the first, caughtin the
crotch Of m uproo&ed tree, crushed to
death In the fall. Barnett had both
owls stuffed and the two now adorn his
cab. always insuring him good luck, he

Directions for Bread which. n Care
fully Followed. VIII Nat Fail.
In many small towns it ir 20 difficult
to buy good bread that many mousse
wives would gladly supply their own
table, could they improve upon their
baker. During visit to hospitablc
farmhouse the writer saw and tasted
such bread as we dream of. such loaves
MS we fancy our grandm0thers baked in
make delicious loaves with half the
trouble previously expended on half
good bread. The secret consists in
what is commonly known as start
er." 1t is made this way: About five
o'clock in the morning pare and slice
thin enough potatoes to fill pint meas
ure; boil until soft in about quart OF
water. In a large jar have one cupful
Of flour, ne-half cupful of sugar, and q
Tablespoonful of salt. Throw the po-
tatoes and water into the jar, and
mash all together until smooth; now
thin gradually with two quarts of
lukewarm water and penny's worth
"a blanket, and do not touch it again un-
til the next morning. Set the alarm
for five O'Clock, and get right mp. Have
warm kitchen, warm the -four by sift-
ing in a pan; put it ON the stove and
stir until the chill is off. In a bowl beat
the whites of two eggs, add half cup
ful of sugar and cupful of lard. Now
stir the yeast thoroughly; put one
rint of it in glass fruit jar, seal. and
put in the cellar. Add one pint Of the
yeast to the mixture in the bowl, which.
with the addition of -four and salt, will
make delicious rolls. For this pur-
pose roll out a lump of dough into
long, narrow strip, moisten all over
with a little water. then roll thickly
with sugar and cinnamon, roll up. and
cut into pieces an inch and a half long.
Set them upright, close together. in a
pan. sprinkle on more sugar. raise well
and bake.
To get back to the main subject, the
bread. Add salt to the remainder Of
the yeast, pour into the pan of -four.
and work it up SO stiff that. in kncad-
ing, the hand seems to make no impress
sion in the dough; do not knead long
only enough to get together.
This should he done by six o'clock.
Cover the bread well, using the blanket
again. Place the pan by the open stove
door. and by seven o'clock it should be
very light. Knead down very lightly.
Just few turns, and let it rise again.
by eight o'clock the bread may be put
into three big, round loaves; grease
over the top and set it near the stove
again. Work out the rolls, and by
$3.50 o'clock the bread should be ready
to bake. 1t will take about 50 minutes
in a medium oven. Next bake the rolls,
grcasing them all as they come from
the pans. This bread will keep for q
week. soft, spongy, delicious. with a
sweet, moist crust, and will last fam
ily of six about one week.
For the next baking, follow the above
directions for making yeast, but sub
stitute the starter" that is, the pint in
the glass jar, for the penny's worth of
yeast. Each week save a pint. and by
following these explicit directions the
novice will make success.-Good

FACE VALUATION.


Not Always . Good Rule In Juagin0
Mankind.
Extremely untrustworthy are human
faces as guides to the moral or inn
moral traits of their owners. The great
novelists have, indeed, generally agreed
in giving their evil characters fair coun-
tenances. Criminalrecords sustain them
in SO doing. The portraits of the most
artful swindlers are quite often found
to wear q soft and winning expression.
Those who have been curious enough to
inspect the portrait gallery Of the ia.
nous homicides of history know that
many of them had faces of the most
amiable and benign type. On the whole
there is probably no more uncertain
way of attempting to Judge our fellow
men than by scanning their faces. In
heritance often deals very kindly in this
matter with the worst of characters
and very unkindly with the best. II
is believed by many students of the
subject that the ear is a better guide
than the eye to the detection OF the
real spirit of our fellow-men. A blind
man, listening to the voice of an ILL.,
disposed person, will rarely fail to de-
tect the false note in it. The voice is
q great telltale. Children and the lower
animals are also. according to observa-
ton, endowed with a special gift Of
penetrating false appearances. The man
or the woman fromSvhom innocent chill
dren shrink unaccountably. and, as it
were, by pure intuition. may be rea.
sonably distrusted. And an intelligent
dog has often been known to signal his
master of q personal peril from per-
sons with pleasant faces whom he did
not in the least suspect of evil design.
Appearances are deceitful." Checks
and men are not infrequently alike
not good for their face value. OF what
practical utility, then, is the fad Of
the new journalism" for printing the
portraits of everybody and his wife p

PHYSICAL ENDURANCE.
Every MASS strength Has . Denalto
Limit.

Every Mans strength Has De0nltG
Limit.
Physical endurance is quality which
varies remarkably with different indi-
viduals. The performance Of feats OF
great physical strength depends for
the most part on the condition to which
the muscles have been brought by pre-
vious exercise. The power of endur.
ance, on the other hand. is largely !
question of inherited constitution. Per
sons subjected to the same strain. such
as q long walk or long boat race, "play
out" at greatly different stages, though
the course of training and manner Of
living may have been identical.
In everyday life the same thing Is oh
served. Men following the same occu-
patton. and living in practically the
same manner, perform the same work
with decidedly differing degrees ol
ease. 1t is a matter of common obser-
walton that as a woodsman, q huntsman
or an everyday toiler, he who has the
quality of physical endurance in great
est measure will excel. The same is
true in professional life. Ordinarily il
will be found that the man who out.
strips his fellows has the ability to labor
long hours together without exhaus-
ton.
Most men who have been distin-
guished for great physical endurance
have inherited or acquired state OF
mind which is doubtless one secret ol
their ability, namely, freedom from
worry. Worry distracts the mind. SC
that its energies, instead of being con-
centrated, are divided between two OF
more trains of thought. To the extent
of avoiding wosry-needless dwelling
upon matters that cannot be helped
the power of endurance may be &C
Quired.
Every mans strength has a definite
limit, limit not determined by that ol
others. His physical endurance may be
above the average; it may be below it
He should not go beyond it. Before the
physical powers are exhausted. moi
afterward, he should rest and recuper.
ate. Each individual must of necessity
learn his own limits.
The best work is perhaps accom-
plished by long continued application
but not to the point of exhaustion.
Exhaustion may often be avoided by
changing one work for another, just a
difficult, perhaps, but involving another
set of faculties.
Mental labor consumes the vital prop
critics of the blood just as muscular la
bor does, and hence it is as important
to avoid exhaustion in mental as il
physical employment.
Wonderful as the power Of endurance
appears to be in certain men. it must
be remembered that everyone is fetteret
by the law which rules all organized be
ings. Life moves in a series Of circles
and part of each circle must be devoted
to recuperation. Great powers of en-
durancc are for the most part the gift
of a vigorous ancestry, to be used in rea
son and not abusej.-Youth's COmpon
