Houston, Texas, May 2S.-One of the
worst tornadoes that has visited Texas
since the storm which destroyed the
town of Cisco, three years ago, and in
which some so people were killed,
passed over Titus and Erath counties
Sunday. Several homes and church
buildings were wrecked in several To-
calities. At Mount Pleasant, Titus coun-
ty, the storm struck a church just as
services were closing. A bolt of light
ming and the wind descended upon the
house simultaneously, wrecking 1t and
scattering the debris in all directions.
William Kaufman was instantly
killed and some is other persons were
injured, some fatally. Three are in a
diving condition. The tornado struck
Stephensville and did considerable
damage, wrecking many houses, but
no one was killed. Two churches were
unroofed and badly damaged. One
man was killed and three were in
iured near Dublin. 1t is reported that
several persons we're killed six miles
southeast of Stephensville, but this has
not vet been confirmed. Trees and
crops in the path of the storm are re-
ported to be totally destroyed.

Mayor Jones, CITY Gas scheme Wins,

Mayor jones' CITY Gas scheme Wins.
Toledo, May 23.-Mayor Jones' plan
for conducting the Toledo gas plant
won out in the city councils last night.
The city clerk is authorized to adver-
tise for bids for running the plant,
the profits to be turned into the city
treasury. 1t is understood that a
syndicate has made an offer to the
city to conduct the plant for 40 years
without cost to the city, and turn over
the profits to the treasury of Toledo.
The advertising for bids is merely to
comply with the law. The gas plant of
Toledo is valued at S1,50O,00O and has
never been a paying venture, but
Mayor Jones has advocated this plan
as a solution of the difficulty.

ASHANTI CHILDREN.

When children are born in Ashanti they
are at once rubbed all over with a mixture
of oil and red ochre, this being repeated every
two days. Their mouths are washed with a
fiery connection in which red pepper is the
main ingredient, and crier goes through the
town proclaiming the arrival, and claim
ing for it a name and place among the living.
Some enc else in distant part Of the village
acknowledges the fact and promises, the
part of the people, that. the new born babe
shall be received into the community The
townspeople then assemble in the streets and
the baby is brought out and exposed to view.
A basin of water is provided, and the head
man or chief of the town sprinkles water upon
it, giving it name and invoking a blessing
upon it, such as, for instance, that it may
have health, grow up to manhood woman
hood, have a numerous progeny and possess
riches. Most of those present follow the ex-
ample of the head man, and the poor child
is thoroughly drenched before the ceremony
is ended Every one who participates in the
ceremony pledges himself to be friend to
the child.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Have due regard for a proper economy
without descending to meanneSS; the first
will prevent you going beyond your means,
the second may lnjure your health by pur-
chasing an inferior article to save penny.
The best meat is the cheapest; it wastes
less than the inferior in cooking and is the
most wholesome.
Nothing should be thrown away as useless
until all that can be obtained from it is ex-
tracted. Bones, etc, help to make stock; for
dripping and fat there are variety of uses
Cleanliness in every portion of the culinary
department is imperative
The chimney should be kept we'll swept,
and useless ashes taken out of the fire crate
Let everything in the kitchen have it's
place, and let there be place for every
thing-the things most in to be kept the
most handy. Keep your meat in a dry but
cool spot; your vegetables in a cold place;
where there is a stone paving preferable.
Never let the boiler be empty Never put
cold water into it, if it should happen to be
empty, and especially If hat at the same
time
Punctuality is most essential. If an hour
is appointed for the appearance of dinner at
table, let it be there There is little necessity
to enforce this rule with strong language:
there are few persons who have not some I'M
pleasant associations connected with want of
punctuality in their memory. An adherence
to it will benefit in general cooking; to cook
some things to turn time must be scrupu-
lousy kept.

WHEN RUTH M'ENERY STUART pICNICs.

Ruth McEnery Stuart is about as demo-
cratic body could be found in the whole
country. A Chicago woman who had de-
hghtfu trip with her one day last summer
In a Colorado canyon, declares this bright lit
erary light enjoyed it with all the happy
abandon of a child. Half the time she was
clambering out Of the carriage after a beauti-
full flower or queer looking mushroom, and
the other half she was swapping stories and
sandwiches with the big-hearted, burly noun
taineer, who was not only guide, but coun-
seor and friend
There is one paragraph of Mrs. Stuarts, in
Sonny" wherein she makes the most of his
small infantile powers by going through a
succession of blinks and sneers, that always
makes one think of some of my ear dubbed
sisters who never let slip an opportunity to
make much ado about nothing, for fear some
people might think they had no capabilities.
The words put into the mouth of "Sonny's''
paternal ancestor are: EFF he hadn't "a
showed up many of his functions spon-
taneously, I'd be Uneasy lessn he mightn't
have em; but they're there! Bless goodness,
they're there!" Just watch the club woman
a minute and you'll see she has EN- some

WOMEN AND HOME.

In one of the largest importing houses in

but design Persian rugs Her sketches are

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS AND CUTS.

Severe cuts and wounds need most careful
treatment or blood poisoning may follow.
Careful dressing Of wounds will often prevent
very bad scars. Over a punctured wound
place pad, which must be removed if in
fammation ensues to allow the discharge TO
escape. A wound caused by a rusty nail or
a similar substance should be cut to favor
the escape of blood or foreign matter which
may be left in the wound. Water that has
been boiled and pieces of old linen are al
ways the best to in dressing cuts or
wounds. On no account piece of I'M
washed calico for this purpose. Rolls of old
linen and adhesive plaster should always be
at hand where there children. Cleanse
the cut from blood dirt and all foreign mat

of adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly to

Ending the Feud.

'Lemme say it to we in big letters, Fred
Peterson, SOS you can't fail to see the whole

an run off and marry her, I'll fill your hide
as full of holes as &, meal Sieve!"
Thus spoke old Ben Pitchford to young
Fred Peterson as the two stood in the road
on Kinniconnick Creek, Kentucky, one May
morning three years ago.

and perfect workmanship. You've got an

suddenness, but you would never never shoot
your son!-your son-in-law-er ha, ha, hal!
You can't laugh me down, sub, I've swore
it, and nobody ever hearn old Ben Pitchford
ever tellin' a lie much less swearn' one. I'll
kill you if you steal my ga!
I'D like to know, returned the young
man, seriously now, but with no resentment
in look or tone; I'D like to know, Maj. Pitch

good, in any light you want to look at me-

You don't know, eh, that there has been
