NORTHUMBERLAND
MONT PELEE AGAIN ruRLS OUT
AWFUL DEATH.
Eruption Destroys Village of Morne
Rouge, Martiniqne-TidaI Wave Adds
to Terror and Sweeps Away Lie Car
bet-Ships Bring News.

With dense clouds of smoke and ashes,
Internationally lit up in a sinister manner
by flashes Of fire from the subterraneaa
regions, Mount Pelee gain broke cut
the other day for the second time, dealing
more death and devastatin to the unfor-
tunates who still continGe to reside in the
vicinity
While so far only 200 victims are re-
ported as having succumbed, the fury of
the eruption and the denseness of the
clouds of ashes and volcanic substance
deposited for miles around exceed, it is
thought, those of the former recent oc-
currence.
The village of Morne r ouge, which was
a heavy sufferer before, is now reported
to be completely wiped but. lie Carbet,
a village on the coast, has been literally
destroyed by an immense tidal wave
which accompanied the volcanic eruption.
Refugees to the number Of several hun
dred have focked from the unhappy ISL
and, and terror and panic prevail among
those of the inhabitants who are unable
TO leave
Dominica itself was visited with a
dense cloud of duo and ashes. These
fell for many miles around and carried
death and devastation to all living things
within the radius of the subterranean
fury.
As on the former occasion, the outburst
was preceded by a series of laundering
detonations from the interior of the
mountain, which were rendered the more
terrifying because of the tragedy of May
8 last, which was still so fresh within
the minds of the population.
Close on these followed great cone
shaped cloud of ashes, which was bril-
iantly lit up with flames which lowered
into the sky to an incredible height, and
which gradually oyerspread the heavens
Like great waterspout which breaks
when high in the air, this column of dust
and flames seemed suddenly to break and
descend in an ever widening circle, till
even Roseau was deluged with the suffo-
eating cloud of death.
simultaneously with the outburst from
the mountain came the terrific tidal wave
which swept out of existence the whole
village of lie Carbet, destroying the YES
sells in its small harbor, and dorhtless
causing many other casualties more OF
less serious which have not yet been
learned. In almost all respects, the de-
tails of this last horror were the same as
those experienced last May.
Cable communication with Martinique
was cut off, doubtless owing to the sub
oceanic eruptions which caused the tidal
wave.
Cablegrams have been received from
other islands in the West Indies and all
these report the observance of terrifying
phenomena similar to those experienced
In Dominica. All show that the volcanic
decorations were heard at greater dis
lance from Martinique than on the morn
ing of May s, indicating that the force
of the eruption was greater than on that

The Row from TOWN.

Last night boy came here from town
To stay a week er so.
Because his nav is all run down
And needs a rest, you know.
His name is Cecil, and he's eight,
And he can't skin the cat
His nav she calls him Pet" I'd hate
To have name like that.
He wears a collar and tie
And can't hang by his toes;
/ guess that l would nearly die
If had on his clos;
He can't ride bareback, and to-day,
When we slid on the straw.
He asst if roosters help to lay
The eggs | pick for nav.
When our old gander Kissed he run
AS though he thought he'd bite,
And he amt ever shot a gun
Or had a homemade kite;
He never MIXED a COW and he
Can't even dive or swim
I'd hate TO think that he was me.
I'm glad that / amt him.
He thinks it's lot of fun 10 pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb in the barn. and jump.
For fear of gettin' hurt.
His clos are ofiie nice and fine.
His hairs all over curls.
His hands amt half as big as mine.
He ought to play with girls.
A little while ago when we
Were foolin' in the shed
He suddenly got mad at me.
Because l bumped his head.
There's lots Of things that he can't DO,
He thinks that sheep'il bite.
and be afraid Of ganders. TOO.
But he can fight al right.

Cutting Grass Early.


Chemical analysis Is said ID show
that the grass cut when the seed has
r@pened, or is nearly ripe, has abouS
ne same amount OF nutrition as It
has when cut earlier, and thus some
allow it to stand that it may incf sase
in weight But when the cow puts it
through her laboratory she does not
find the same value in the latecut hay.
A part of the seeds have ratified out
and been lost, and the remainder are
so small and so encased In a dry coat
ing or shell that not many OF them
are chewed up, and thus pass through
the stomach and bowels undlgested.
Then the stalks which contain the
most nutriment before the seed has
formed have become simply woody
fibre as indigestible as bean poles, and
she gets but little nutrition from them.
We think II she could speak she
would say that two-thirds or less of
the amount of hay. cut early, and not
sun-drled too long. was better tlan her
usual ration of hay. ripcned before
cut and overdried afterward. But II
she can not talk she has many times

at the mailk pail and the churn. and
it is because the owner fails to see

ENGINEERS FEAR oMENs.
They Believe that Accidents Are Fore
told by Strange Omens.

toiu Dy Strange Omeu8s
Railroad engineers are a superstitious
set. Most of them hold the belief that
danger is usually preceded by a warn
ing sign.
A man who has worked for years on
the Rio Grandc says that never since
he was married has he been in a wreck
but his wife had predicted 1t before
hand. Once she awakened him in the
night to tell him Of horrible dream
she had just had She saw his e=Sine
plunge into another. She distinctly
heard the crash and the sound Of the
escaping steam. and the cries of the
victims. She was so worked up over
the matter, he says. and begged so
hard that in the morning he didn't take
his engine out. but got substitute to
go in his place. Sure enough. there
was a smash-up, and the substitute
was brought home dead.
Ever since then he has thought it
cowardly to finch, and has refused to
be guided by his wjfc's dreams. IF
my engine is going INTO a smash-up,"
he says, Il am going to be at the throt-
tie, and the q c woman at home must
depend on her prayers TO save me-"
Several wrecks have occurred since
that first one, and every time the wom-
an has told beforehand of their COM
ing.
Some engineers regard the number ID
peculiarly unlucky. Charles Frye. an
other veteran engineer on the Rio
Grande, declares that it is interviewer
with the tragedies of his life. On July
Is, for instance, his train, with thirteen
passengers aboard the sleeper, wa pull
ing out of Denver, when, at thirteen
minutes past -, 1t struck a wagon con-
tanning 13-year-old boy, who was
killed in the accident.
Tom LOTUS, of the Colorado & South
ern. insists that he has an unlucky day
Dec. 31-on which all of his wrecks
occur. 1t began ten years ago on the
31st of December. His engine was
pounding along from Trinidad to Den
yer at thirty miles an hour, through a
binding snow storm. Between Be
mares and Huerfano his train crashed
into another Gouble-header that was
making forty miles an hour in the di-
rection of Trinidad.
He saw the collision coming. re-
versed the lever and jumped. He saved
his own life, but one of the firemeD
was killed and the rest of both crews
more or less injured.

lid on the can and hang It in the yell.
Il does not matter whether /. Is in
the water or not, it will keep cool, and

Get you an empty butter keg from
top just below the lid, take a piece
OF new rope and make a handle, put
nice, clean, new white paper in the bot
tom, then put in the butter. Put an
other piece on top just below the lid
and hang it in the well. Paper is bet
ter than cloth, as the cloth mildews.
When you are ready to go to town,
use another keg just like the one in
the well; put a clean towel in the bot
tom; put in the butter; then another
clean towel or ~. Fasten on the lid,
wet some clean sacks in a tub, fold
them without wringing on the bottom
of your wagon. set the butter key on
them, and wrap wet sacks around the
key and on top. AS you deliver the
butter take the cloths Off, take them

Gould, after selecting a cigar fro:s:: his
case, offered the case to the guard.

he added, as an after-thought, that
I'm not old Gould. You woulGn'ss have
got off so easy. He'd probably have
taken all you have, and the case too"
Mr.. Gould and his friend looked at
each ether silently for moment, and
then burst into laughter The guard
looked first at one and then at the
other, and then, apparently concluding
that he had made an unexpectedly
witty speech, Joined in the mirth and
said, "That was pretty good, wasn't
it,"
at was" they both assured him,
with significant glances at one an
other.
Just before they reached their desti-
nation, Mr.. Gould's friend asked for
one of his cards. Taking it, he pressed
it into the guards hand as he left the
car.
The guard said, THANK you. Come
and ride with me again" Then he
glanced at the card, and his cheeks
paled a pasty, notified white. and his
mouth worked as if he wanted to
speak. but found himself unable.
1T seems like fate" commented Mr..
Goulds friend, that out of the two
million men to whom he could have
made that remark without any danger
he should have made it to you. 1 hope
you won't discharge him."
'Of course not" replied Mr.. Gould,
