LEvEE BREAKS IN TWO PLACES.
Situation More Grave Than Any Time
During Flood-Both crevasses
Serious.

Memphis, Tenn, March 21.-The
feeling of hope produced by the Mis-
sissippi river coming to a stand at
this point, with 401 feet on the gauge,
was dispelled by two new breaks in
the st. Francis levees, north of the
first crevasse at Trice's landing, Ark
by grave reports from Mississippi
points, as well as by rise of 1 here.
The st. Frances levee gave way at
Random Shot and Shawnee village.
Ark, the first about AZ miles from
Memphis and the second about 35
miles away. Both crevasses are re-
ported to be serious. The situation
in Arkansas is more grave than at
any time during the flood. Relief
measures have been and must be for
several days entirely inadequate.
The most encouraging feature is
the fact that the river has remainei
stationary all day and that a falling
state is reported from st. Louis, Cairo
and other points on the Mississippi
and its tributaries. The stage is 40.1
feet, a rise of 1 in IL hours.
Refugees continue to arrive in largs
numbers and the facilities for relief
are too limited.

THE r THORN.
Newly Married Couple Of lewistown

Newly Married Couple OF leWistown
Have Fun With a New Range.
A certain gentleman in Lewistown
who got married not so many moons
ago had a little housekeeping exper-
fence the next day, which, despite his
strenuous efforts to keep quiet, soon
became known to some of his friends.
Among other articles of furniture in
the new home was a new range, with
which the groom vas very much I'M
acquainted. He lighted the fire all
right, but as SOC as it started 10
blaze the smoke poured out through
the cracks. filling the house. His wife
suggested that there was something
wrong with the pipe. Rather dubious
ly the young Benedict got up on the
stove and took down the pipe. Not a
thing in it. We'll, there must be a
brick down the chimney" said his
wife, as she walked to the door to
get a fresh breath OF air. 1t was then
up to Rev-or the groom-to go upon
the roof and look down to see If there
was any obstruction in the chimney.
At the risk of his neck and several
inches Of epidermis. he made the as
cent. and, being somewhat short of
stature, had to shin up the chimney
a few leet so that he could get his
head over the top and look down.
Everything was clear there. Once
more back in the kitchen the unfor-
tunate young mar wrestled awhile
with the stove pipe and finally got it
approximately where 1t belonged. BY
way of diversion his wife had been
turning the various hampers on the
range, and when the fire was re-light-
ed It burned right off and the smoke
found it's way out through the chin
ney in the orthodox way.
The hardware man should see that
all ~draughts are open when the stoves
are sent out.

Thc Morning Bath.

An admirable way to take the morn
ing bath by those who dread a daily
plunge into cold water is recommended
by an authority as follows: Stand In
hot water deep enough to cover the
ankles, fill a basin with cold water and
sponge the body off quickly. Dry and
rub vigorously and get into lannels
before drying the feet. This is better
for any one than daily immersion. II
Ia the rubbing more than the water
that Is needed. Sponging Off gives the
excuse for the after rubbing. and the
good result Is gained.
