cheapens Cost of LIQUID Air.

A Dane named Knudson is credited
with discovering means Of producing
liquid air at the cost of no more than
one-sixth the usual price, and it is said
that his process, which is mechanical
rather than chemical, will ultimately
put liquid air on the market at not
more than about two cents a gallon.
The same invention makes it possible
60 sell oxygen at cent a cubic foot,
which promises to bring it into rather
wide industrial USE

For a Tough Steak.

To make tough steak tender
spread the steak with olive oil instead
of beating it to bruise the fibers,
which lets the juice run out into the
fire. Let it remain an hour or so be-
fore cooking. Broil quickly so that
each side will be thoroughly scared,
then prop up your broiler so as to be
a little farther from the fire. for the
slower heating through. That cooks
the inside juices without losing them.
Melt a small piece of butter in two
tablespoonfulls of vinegar and pour it
over the steak while hot. This makes
an appetizing gravy. Lemon juice can
be used instead of vinegar, If pre-
ferred.

Practieed What He Preached.

Rev. Denis P. O'Flynn, Of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he
has left no discoverable estate-no
money in bank, no money in the rec
tory. HE died as poor as the proverb-
ial church mouse" says his assistant,
Father Corrigan. What little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He never saved q
penny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had"

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

NUMBER OF CASUALTIES IN GULF
STORM is SLOWLY INCREASING.
Losses to Lumber interests Alone

From Coast Towns-Pascagoula
Beach Heaviest Sufferer.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 1.-The number
OF casualties in the great storm of last
Wednesday is slowly increasing as
messages are received from places
which have heretofore been inaccessi-
BILE. The total of the known dead is
seventy-nine. 1t Is estimated that
tw~enty-three lives have been lost from
the oyster feet around Cedar point.
1t is known that some of the boats on
driven ashore and it is entirely pos.
sible that some of the crews managed
to reach the shore. 1t does not seem
likely at present that the death roll
will amount in this vicinity to more
than 1875.
Mobile itself is rapidly emerging
from the confusion caused by the
storm. Large gangs of men are clear
ing the streets of debris, three of the
street car lines have commenced to
run for the first time since Wednes-
day, the confusion at the docks is
rapidly being repaired and business
will be at normal as soon as the rail
roads are able to run trains.
The situation along the coast to
the west OF this city is now fairly we'll
known. At Scranton, Miss, one
church and several buildings were
blown down. At ~Pascagoula Beach
not a residence is left standing, the
river front at that point is completely
torn up and the lighthouse there has
been destroyed. Shipping at this point
has been badly damaged. The keeper
of the Horn Island lighthouse, just
outside of Scranton, lost his life. The
entire end of the island on which the
lighthouse was situated is said to have
been carried away by the waves.
At Biloxi the damage has been OF a
minor character to buildings. Boats
which have from time immemorial
found refuge from all the storms that
blew by fleeing into the back bay at
Biloxi were granted no such immunity
on Wednesday, as the wave ran high,
and many of the boats that sought
refuge there were sunk and all of
them were badly damaged. The
wrecking of a few houses comprised
the damage at Gulfport and no lives
we're lost there. Five out Of eight
vessels at Ship island at the time OF
the storm were beached and two will
be total wrecks. Several vessels are
ashore off Horn island and the small
islands marking the passage between
Dauphin island and the mainland have
been destroyed. The schooner Alice
Graham of Mobile is known to have
been lost, with her crew of six men.
The known dead at Dauphin island are
Captain John Worten of the schooner
Irene, Captain Robert Peters of the
schooner Louisa B and Mitchell Pisell.
mate of the same boat.
It is now believed that the loss TO
the lumber interests alone by the
storm will aggregate $10,OOO,OOO. 1t
is almost impossible for any person
who has not been through the storm
swept district to comprehend the ex'
tent to which the country has beer
