Terrible Loss Of Life in New York
Tenement Disaster.
SLACK HAND IS SUSPECTED
Store Believed to Have Started
Blaze Which Swept Through Six
Story Building.


New York, July 30-Shocking loss
of human life and destruction of prop
erty were caused by fires in New York
and it's immediate vicinity in the
twentyfour hours ending at a. m.
Twenty persons are dead and fifteen
suffering from injuries as result of
the burning of the six-story double
tenement in Chrystie street and the
financial loss resulted from the de-
struction of the Long Beach hotel at
Long Beach, l.. l., and the Steeple
Chase park and other property at
Coney island. In addition the steam
ship Hamilton of the Old Dominion
line came into port with part of her
held ablaze. The Hamilton was at
her dock before any of the passengers
knew there was fire on board. The
flames were extinguished after about
$4,000 damage had been done.
The explosion of bomb, placed, the
police believe, by agents of the Black
Hand in an Italian grocery store on
Chrystie street, started the fire which
swept through the teeming Italian
tenement and destroyed the lives of a
score Of people and injured fifteen
others. The noise of the explosion
caused a panic in the densely popu-
lated district
The police say that many perished
in the flames. fearing to escape to the
streets, where they believed death
awaited them from the dreaded Black
Hand. A second explosion from a
kerosene tank followed and the whole
lower floor was a mass of flames from
blazing oil.
Flames Cut Of All Escape.
The fire shot up the stairways, cut
ting off all escape from those In the
bedrooms above. Many rushed to the
fire escapes, which became clogged
with frightened people. The house
was filled with dense smoke and the
flames, rushing up stairs, drove the
half crazed people toward he roof.
The flames killed many as they were
about to be rescued from the roof,
while others were overcome by smoke.
There were many heroic rescues by
firemen.
The bodies of the dead were found
in all manner of places. Four women
were discovered dead in a closet where
they had rushed to hide from the
flames, which found them out. The
body of woman was found lying over
a child as though she had tried to pro-
tect it from the flames. Five bodies
were found crowded around one door,
way on the top floor, showing that
they had been struck down while try
ing to escape.
The fire wave first struck Coney
island and beft e 1t subsidized Steeple
Chase park, score of hotels and
many amusement attractions were In
ruins and many persons were home
less. The next fire was the steamship
fire. Then came the Chrystie street
tenement disaster and next the Long
Beach hotel was destroyed. The 500
guests were all in their beds when the
flames were discovered, but all left
the building In safety.

COVERING CROPS.
Portions of the Farm Should Ca
 Spread With Natural Mulch.

Now Is the time to begin to plan covering crops for the ground in win ter. This important matter is usually put off until the fall work comas on all at one time and then it is often wholly neglected. Large portions of the farm that should be covered with some kind of natural mulch to pre- vent the plant food from teaching out and being carried away by the rains and melting snow and left entirely bare. A little investigation will con- vince any intelligent farmer of the great value of winter covering crops and little time given to planning for them in advance of the season for planting them will make teh work easier and less expensive.
 The management of the manure heap in summer for fall use is quite as important as the winter manage. ment for spring use, but in the multi tude of cares and labors of the sum- mer time the manure heap is often given very little attention, if not en- tirely neglected. Where manure is spread in the field it should be thor by the freezing and thawing of winter be rendered available for plant food for the following season. Upon the condition in which the manure re- mains after being spread depends largely whether the soil is heavy or 1yir of Those who carefully spread manure, first break the ground with a two horse blow, haul out the manure and then work over the field with a culti- vator, going twice across as well as lengthwise and finish with a harrow, which prepares the land for rye.
 If done early in the fall the field is at once seeded down to crimson clover and rolled, but if the season is late rye is used instead of clover. By this plan the ground is covered in win ter with some kind of crop that pre- vents the surface from washing, while the manure is well incorporated with the soil and it will be in better con- dition in the spring to supply plant food than when spread early in the spring. The objection to fall blowing Is that it leaves the ground exposV, but this is avoided by seeding rye or crimson clover There is always more or less loss when manure is kept out in the heap until spring and when spread it is not always decomposed, hnnnn ie-r ,of IoLJ l but when spread in the fall and sub- ject to thrawing and freezing while in the ground, it rapidly becomes available in the spring, as warmth has, tens it's decay.

Curinq CoWpea Hay.

Presuming that your cowpeas have been sown in drills three feet apart, s s:fssui,f la iftats f oct. ing will be an easy matter. Start the mower as soon as the pods begin to ripen. Always wait until the dew is off befole cutting in the morning, and rake up the next evening all you have cut the day before. If rain comes it will do no harm If the windrows are turned.
 Before beginning to haul in be pro yided with some dry hay, oats, wheat or rye straw. Haul in the vines. put down layer twelve to eighteen inches deep, spri rinkle lightly with salt, then a five or six inch layer of hay or straw then alternate as stated until you have the crop in.
 In two or three days the vines will begin to heat and sweat The dry hay or straw will absorb the moisture and in two or three weeks you will have lot of as nicely cured hay as i, Is possible to make. Do not be dis couragej by the extra amount of labol required to store the hay in layers, as the returns ale ample compensation for the work don6.-Oklahoma Farm CT,

FINE DAMASK LINEN
PLEA FOR THE HAND-LOOM
 WEAVERS OF IRELAND.
Distinguishing Mark Would Show Product Is the True Example of This ExqusiteIy Beautiful
 Fabric--HiqhIy Prized.

Writing in the National Printers Journalist, MT. James White of Chi cago has this to say on the subject of Irish handwoven linen damask:
 This richest form into which flax is woven was first introduced into Ire land from continental countries at the close of the seventeenth century by a Samuel Waring, who brought over a colony of weavers and settled them in what is now the village of Warings- town, county Down. This village is still the center of what is left of the hand-loom industry.
 Up to the present time there has been no distinguishing mark used by the weavers, that would inform the purchaser whether the goods offered for sale were hand or steam power woven, but just now the weavers are endeavoring to bring about a change and are asking the privilege of weav- ing in each tablecloth and napkin, the words, Irish Hand-Woven Linen Damask," in small unobstrusive let ters in the margin. This reproduction illustrates what they want:
 The cause of this desired change is the lessened demand for their pro duct, as the steam or power-loon goods have for over 50 years steadily supplanted the hand-woven article.
 It was the hand-loom weavers of Ire land, who, by their untiring energy and industry, created the sentiment that surrounds Irish linen, that senti ment which always attaches to the best of any hand-produced article whether it be engraving, printing sculpture, lace or other luxury of life

IN THE NEW WORSTEDS.
Suggestion for Model for Wear in the
 Early Autumn.

For early autumn wear a striking model might be carried out in the new striped worsted, the skirt being Iald 1n pla1ts ali aro..,J Jne Wais line, with the front panel in one very broad box plait. At the bottom there is a five-inch false" tuck, stitched or as trimming. and appearing at the top of this is fold of dull gray rib bon velvet. A narrower fold of the dress material shows above the tuck and this, too, is piped with velvet.
 The bodice is quite plain, but smart ly so. The neck is cut out in round eff feet, then revers of bronze silk stitch ed with gray braid are set inside over a yoke of all-over lace. The silk is g grayish bronze and the combination is unusually odd. Japanese sleeves drooI over the shoulder and have a deeI facing of the silk like the revers, and the braid appears again on the sleeves Elbow puffs of the worsted finished with cuff of heavy lace and braid form the under sleeves.
 A light satin felt hat accompanies the dress. This is in bronze gray, trim med with gray velvet roses and greer foliage. Parisiennes always affect the very lightweight satin finished felts early ill August, although they are by no means considered authoritative au tumn styles. If anything. they are simply launched as trials.

 Brunettes are wise if they adhere to soft ivory shades and eschew pure whites. A brilliant complexion, coupled with dark brown hair and eyes, can stand the bright rose pinks and Saxe blues which would be impossible if the coloring were less vivid. Unreliev- ed black is never successful choice on the part of the dark-haired woman; grey is advisable, but fawn and biscuit color are, with few exceptions, the colors of the blonde.

Lice and Profits,

The one most serious evil the poul- try man has to contend with, and yet the one most easily avoided of al! evils, is the louse pest. Thousands of farmers think it is impossible to raise hens without raising lice at the same time. They admit lice are nuisance, ss lsgy ff . igsae,, rant to make the little fight necessary to rout them neck and crop.
 The surprising part of the whole thing is that farmers don't seem to realize how lice eat the very heart out of their profits.
 They take them because they come, without figuring the cost of the visit If few hens die, or the bullets don't lay, they call 1t 'dispensation," in, stead of frankly admitting it the re- ward of laziness. The actual truth is, lice are easily gotten rid of, and lit tie energy expended in shaking a good louse killing powder about will do the business.

Price of Gineenu.

People who have gone into ginseng growing as a side line may be inter- ested to know cf Consul Gracey's re- port from Foochow as to the price Of American ginseng in China They range from $450 to $S, gold, per pound, the figures depending upon the quality, size, color and shape Of the root, the larger roots being more de. sirable. The wild root is worth 20 per cent more than the cultivated article. The prices of American ginseng have been dropping of late. as the Korean product 'is generally preferred. Gin seng for shipment to China should be packed in strong boxes, with heavy wire or metal protection to prevent theft.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum-but it is well known fact that baking powder in which Alum is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a suf- ficient quantity of baking powder for batch of bread or cakes for an ordi- nary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm.

UndraWn Cold Storage Poultry.

The Department of Agriculture has noted the results of a Chicago cold storage investigation on the effects of storing undrawn chickens.
 Bacteria normally inhabiting the intestinal tract" it is stated, "are not destroyed by cold storage, neither are the eggs of the blowfy. These bac- teria and maggots develop during the rise of temperature that takes place after removal from cold storage before they are killed by heat. The bacteria pass through the walls of the intes tines into the peritoneal cavity and liver, while the poisons formed by the bacteria are yet more penetrating and pass deeper into the muscles. These products of Bacteria, called ptomaines, are poisonous. In large amounts this ptomaine poison results in death. For it there is no known antidote." It is also stated that when chickens are kept for a long period undrawn, the fluid portion of the intestinal contents may pass into the adjacent flesh to the injury of the quality of the product. With freshly killed poultry the matter is very largely question of the pur- chase of something which is valueless.

The Tartan Voque.

There seems always to be some sub. tie connection between travelling gowns and wraps and fabrics of plaid, or rather tartan design, though it is difficult to discover any reason why checks rather than stripes or spots should be associated with long jour neys by sea or land. Still, the fact re- mains, and it is picturesque one enough, and the mode for wearing tar tans generally more curiously still seems to appeal not only to some of us who claim Scotch descent, but also in quite a remarkable degree to those
 fair Parisiennes who as surely as the spring and the autumn seasons come round find some excuse for indulging in one or two tartan gowns and cloaks.

STRIPED SERGES IN FAVOR;
Material Has Strong Hold on the Lead.
 CTS of Fashion.

There is every safety in assuring readers that striped serges will be de rigeur and with selfcolored coats they are sure to be extremely smart. There is an almost rigid convention ality about the coat of a costume de- signed by Rue Royale couturiere, for it follows with more faithful exacti- tude mans cutaway than any of the modes thus far shown. The required feminine touch is added, however, in a dainty blouse of linen, hand-embroid- cred, but finished with a standing col lar and fussy little bow tie of f1uted linen, edged with valenciennes edg- ing. The skirt is laid in wide plaits and quite covers the ankles The cos tune is tremendously businesslike and admirably suited to morning detours of the shops.

Make Hay Now.

In many sections this month is the beginning of actual hay-making. The grasses, whether crab grass or other varieties, should not be allowed to get oyer-ripe before cutting. They should be cut just as the first pods begin to ripen, and soy beans about the time the bean is half grown. These all make excellent hay when cut at the right time and properly cured. Do not allow them to lie in the sun too long before cooking. Hay cured in the cock is usually much better than that dried in the sun.

PROLIFIC GARDEN
ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUC- CESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI TOBA-SOIL PRODUCES
 STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of few days since contains account of the success that followed the ef- forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near Winnipeg, Man itoba. This is but one of many let ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is copy of the article referred to:
 William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine dis play of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his hold ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have for tunately escaped damage by hail, al though heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 41s acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen marvellous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing under an enor- nous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvellous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office.
 The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, includ- ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re- markedly healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow CT, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de- partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the we'll known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters.
 MT. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratifed with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture.

This sentiment has been used to the limit in pushing the sale of power loom damask all over the world, even, it is said, to the extent of substitution, the second-class machine article for the superior hand-loom first.
 As this country takes more than half of the Irish linen exportations, it is advanced as an argument by the power-loom people, in this matter, that the buyers of the United States, would, if told that they could not get the handwoven article without these words, tell the Irish selling agent to pack up his samples and get out.

Civino Salt to Animals.

For cattle and horses. rock salt placed in boxes or troughs in winter and scattered about the pastures on the grass in summer is preferable to any other way. Rains have little ef- feet upon it, and this will be found both convenient and economical. For sheep, however. this plan does not work so well. The rock salt is so slow to dissolve that they are not able to get sufficient amount of it to satisfy their wants, hence 1t is neces- sary to use the loose salt for them.
