J. LAKE STEAMER BURNED.

One Life Lost in Thrilling Marine
Disaster.
SheboyganI Wis, March &c Sixty
one persons escaped from the steamer
Atlanta of the Goodrich line, which
burned to the waters edge between
this city and Port Washington, and
one person was drowned in one of the
most thrilling marine disasters of re-
cent years on Lake Michigan. The
Atlanta was one of the old Goodrich
line steamers and the loss on vessel
and cargo is placed at $150,000.
The Atlanta was bound south when
fire was discovered in the frehole
For two hours the crew fought the
flames and three times they thought
the danger was over when the blaze
would break out more f1erce1y than
ever. At last, just as help in the form
of a tiny fishing tug arrived, the
flames burst through the entire steam
er and the crew and passengers went
over the sides into the small boats
One sailor, Michael Hickey, a deck
hand, was panic stricken by the dan
ger and jumped overheard and was
drowned.

Keeping Food.

In an icebox which looked into re-
Gently two slices Of sirloin steak were
laid fat on the ice. In lifting them
from the ice to plate they were turn
ed over, and the side which had been
next to the Ice was bleached white.
The woman who had laid the meat d.
rectly on the ice knew better probably
than to put it into pan Of water to
soak, but she had accomplished nearly
the same thing, for the melting ice
had almost entirely washed away the
juices Of the meat. Leaving meat in
wrapping paper Is another way to
waste its juices.
Because water is the native element
of a live fish is no sign that dressed
fish should soak in water. It should
be wiped with a wet cloth and laid on
q plate In the icebox. 1t Is we'll to
keep in mind that frozen or cold stor-
age foods spoil more quickly than
fresh food when brought into the
house. This causes some surprise, as
when a chicken or fish apparently in
perfect condition spoils In a few hours,
even in the family icebox. Meat that
is on the doubtful line IL often made
palatable by bath in soda and water.

La Prensa Is the greatest and most
influential paper in South America. Its
Offices are in Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
situated In a magnificent building in

be one of the most imposing In the
world. 1t has tower crowned by a
great golden statue Of young woman

heard for while throughout the city.
The local government exacts a fine for
this performance, 800 per minute,
with minimum Of $500, and If the
fine is not paid on the nail the charge
is double, 50 when one man Is sent to

"A special writer for the London Elk

Of them was denied. Prompt and bust

time, and each caller or collection of
callers was granted 90 many seconds

THE SCENT OF SICKNESS.

Most Diseases, 1t Is Claimed, Have
Their Characteristic Odors.
The acuteness of the sense Of smell
is far greater in many Of the lower ami
mals-dogs, for example-than in man,
and they employ II in guiding them to
their food, in warning them Of ap-
preaching danger and for other pur-
poses. The sphere Of the susceptibility
to various odors is more uniform and
extended in man, and the sense Of
smell is capable Of great cultivation.
Like the other special senses, 1t may
be cultivated by attention and prac-
tice. Experts cam discriminate quail
ties Of wines, liquors., drugs, etc. Dis
eases have their characteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many diff
ferent asylums for the. insane recog-
nize the same familiar odOr of the in
sane. It is not insane asylums alone,
but prisons, jails, warehouses;, armies
in camp, churches, schools and nearly
every household that have Characters
tic odors. It IL when the insane, the
prisoners and the soldiers are aggre-
gated In large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor is recog-
nized. Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors, and by the exercise Of
the sense of smell they could be util-
lied in different diagnoses.
For example, favus has mousy
odor, rheumatism has a copious sour
smelling, acid sweat. A person at
f1icted with pyaemia has sweet, nau-
seating breath. The rank, unbearable
odor of pus from the middle ear tells
the tale Of the decay Of osseous tissue
In scurvy the odor is putrid, in chron-
ic paritonitis musky, In scrofula like
stale beer, in Intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread, in fever am
moniacal, in hysteria like violets or
pineapple. Measles, diphtheria, typhoid
fever, epilepsy, phthisis, etc., have
characteristic odors.-Philadelphia Rec

A TROPICAL TERROR.
Most Dreaded Of Living Things In
Equatorial Africa.

Most Dreaded Of Living Things In
Equatorial Africa.
Europeans who visit the great equa-
torial forests Of Africa are subject to
many risks, but none perhaps so dan
gerous as contact with the bashikouay,
or great bull ant, which is said to be
the most dreaded Of living things to be
found in that region. 1t is gluttonous
IN the extreme. That which 1t attacks
1t consumes on the spot-nothing Is
carried away for further convenience.
Elephants, leopards, gazelles, lions,
snakes, gorillas, monkeys, even the
human aborigines of the districts 1t
infests, fly from any neighborhood In
which they know it to be located. Ac-
cording to well accredited reports.
these awe inspiring bull ants travel.
like locusts, in vast armies, marching
In line two inches or more broad and
miles in length. One Of these armies
has been known to. take twelve hours
to pass a given. point. These ants pre-
fer the shade and, rather than be ex-
posed to the rays Of the blazing sun,
will burrow tunnels under the surface
Of the ground and thus travel until
they come to the shelter Of trees. Any
animal which, unaware Of the proxim-
ity Of the bull ant and reposing in
the solitude of the welt, happens to be
attacked has no chance of escape. It
is devoured witt irresistible fury, and
within few minutes pile Of bleached
bones marks the spot where 1t reposed.
A great deal Of valuable information
about this dreaded creature has been
published by a French zoologist, M. de
Chailler, who has described personal
encounter with the bull ant. Il re-
member well the first time I met the
bashikouays on a raid. / knew not
what was in store for me. was hunt
ing by myself, when suddenly the for
est became alive with the foe. A sud-
den dread seized me, and I stood still
in the hunting path, resting on my gun.
Suddenly, as If by magic, I was COW
cred and bitten everywhere. fed in
haste and found refuge in a deep
stream, yet even then the strong pinch
ers Of the ants would not give way,
and though the bodies were torn of the
heads remained. The native tribes,
when a man is condemned for witch
craft, generally fasten him to a tree
before an inroad Of these ants. After
they have passed shining skeleton

FORCING EATING.

rily needs, believe. and for that rea-
son I think a mother should ask a
child between the ages Of FIVE and
seven what food 1t wants at meals
and endeavor to supply the dishes
asked for.
II always lay special stress on the
statement-never force a child to eat
food it does not want-foy 1 know
from my experience that nothing will
bring on indigestion quickG than to
make a yOungster eat a dish 1t does
not care for. Rebelling against the
food makes the boy or girl nervous,
and nothing so readily disarranges
the stomach as excitement For the
child's own good think 1t should new
er be compelled to take undesirable
foodstuffs. Yet know many parents
with healthy children who decide what
is good for them and then place the
dishes before the little ones, and if
they do not eat of them they get moth
ing, but this course Of treatment with
a nervously constituted child is injuri-
GUS and more than apt to bring on
chronic Indigestion.
''Of course parents must select the
dishes to certain extent. They should
make sure that there is plenty of vari-
ETY. in vegetables and fruits, especially
during the summer months, when fresh
ones are so plentiful.
But aside from there being a sufi-
Gent number Of dishes to keep the ap-
petite good, should permit q child to
regulate its own diet"
