LONDON, 3 p. m.—July 3.—Intelligence has just reached here of a terrible calamity during the launching of the steamer Daphne at Glas gow today. While being launched she fell over on her side and precipated a large number of jpeople into the water. According to the dis patches thus far reoeived sixty persons were drowned. IATEB-—3:30 P. M. Furthor particulars of the calamity at Glas gow state that the Daphne, which was constructed for coast trading, is a vessel of five hundred tons burden. Two hundred workmen werj on board when she capsized. The accident occur red in the middle of the river Clyde after launching. It is not exactly known how many persons were drowned but it is feared the num ber will reach over one hundred. STILL LATER. A later diapatoh from Glasgow says that the Daphne capsized near Renfrew, five miles from Glasgow. Traffic in the Clyde is suspended owing to the interruption to navigation by the capsized steamer. The Daphne left the ways at a very fast rate and when she gained the water she rolled from side to Bide. The persons on board, fearing she would capsize, ran to and fro. The vessel finally reeled over and nearly disappeared be neath the water. Those who maintained a po sition on that portion of the steamer not sub merged did their utmost to save those who were in the water. At the same time a boat heavily manned pulled to assist in the work of rescuing the unfortunate people and suc ceeded in saving a number. It is known, how ever, that there were fifty persons below in the Daphne when the vessel capsized. A Ravisher Hoped and Beheaded. ST.

WOMAN ABB HOME. Brains in Housekeeping-~Camping With the Baby. Women on the Poliee Foree—Howse* Jiold Hints--Miss Pariwt JHahes for Convalescents. New York Tribune. "Food for the Sick" was {he topic of the Tues day afternoon talk, and Scotch broth was the first dish made. Miss Parloa said this was ex cellent for convalescents, being appetizing and nutritious. Among the ingredients was a two-pound piece of the scraggy p^rt of a neck of mutton. This particular cnt was employed because the muscles of a sheep's neck are in Bueh constant use as to make that part of the animal better flavored and more nutritions than those parts through which the blood has run leas freely. Miss Parloa cut the meat from the bones and removed all the fat She cnt the meat into small pieces and put it into a soup-kettle, together with two slices of carrot, a slice of turnip, a stalk of celery and an onion—all cnt fine, half a cupfu* of barley and three pints of water and the broth was allowed to simmer gently for two hours. The bones, with a pint of water added» also were allowed the same amount of time for simmering, and the liquor was strained into a soup kettle.. A tablespoonful each of butter and flour were cooked together until perfectly smooth, and then stirred into the broth after which salt and pepper and a tea spoonful of chopped parsley were added. The audience was cautioned against rapid cooking as a high tomperature hardens the fibres of the meat, whereas a slovf bubbling renders the meat tender and secures a better flavor for the broth. The vegetables should be cut very fine. Mutton is so nutritious and so easily digested as to deserve much attention as a food during convalescence. If it be prop erly cooked the peculiar flavor that is disagree able to some people is concealed, though the meat remains palatable. Mutton broth, which was recommended for patients whose food must be light, was next made. A pound of meat like that used for the Scotch broth was freed of fat and cut into small pieces and was put into a saucepan con taining a quart of cola water. When this water had become heated to theEboiing point it was carefully skimmed. A tablespoonful of barley was added, and the broth was simmered slowly for two hours. For an oyster stew the liquor was drained from.half a pint of oysters and allowed to heat to the' boiling point, when it was skimmed. In the meantime, half a pint of milk was heated to the boiling point in the double boiler. Into it were Btirred a teaspoonfnl of butter, the of salt to give the stew a prov good flavor, and the oysters. The dish was boiled up at once and served immediately. Miss Parloa cautioned her hearers against over-cooking oysters at any time. She then selected a number of large ones, drained them, seasoned them with salt and nepper, dipped them in melted butter and dredged them with flour. She broiled them over a quick fire until the edges curled, and served them on buttered toast. Cream toast was next made. Half a cupful of cream was heated to the boiling point, and seasoned with salt In the meantime two slices of bread were nicely browned. They were dipped in the cream and placed on a dish, and the remaining cream was poured over them. Jb or cracker gruel, a scant half pint of boil ing water was poured upon four tablespoon fms of powdered cracker, and, after half a pint of milk and half a teaspoonfnl of salt had been added, the mixture was Btirred until it had boiled up once. Last of all, egg nog was made. The white of an egg w£ts beaten to a stiff froth next a tablespoonful of sugar was beaten in then the yolk of the egg, and finally a tablespoonful sach of milk, water and* wine. Before closing, Miss Parloa said that when using milk in dishes for the sick the diseases of the persons who are to consume the food should be considered. Long boiling hardens the albumen and makes the milk constipating, hence, if the patient bo already constipated, great care should be exercised hot to allow the milk or cream to heat above the boiling point Miss Parloa said also that one could, not use seasonings for a sick person that would suit a well person. More salt and acid can and should be used in most cases when seasoning food for the sick, while less sugar or other flavor should be used. Advice was also given aot to send a too bountiful supply of food to the patient, and not to set any one dish bei re him frequently just because it has tasted especially good at first. Miss Parloa emphasized the desir ability of serving all dishes in the daintiest and most attractive ways, so as to induce an appe tite which may be dormant Brains in Housekeeping./: Wide Awake. Another convenience at Aunt Jane's is the two dustpans and the chamber broom hung in the back entry upstairs. You know when one has been cutting out work in her room there will be litter, or when the boys are not careful to use the door-mat, they will leave traces of mud on the carpet, and what a trouble it is to rundown stairs after broom and dustnan* Aunt Jane said she never could afford to carry her one hundred and forty pounds of weight lip and down stairs every time a room needed extra sweeping, when a new broom cost thi^jy-five cents and second dustpan ten. While she was about it, she would have a dust-bin too, and if you lift the cover of that large box in brown linen and red trimming in the corner of the passage upstairs, you will find it an old tin cracker-box, to re ceive sweepings from the bedrooms. They are all swept thoroughly once a week of course, but between whiles all transient sweepings go into this box, which is emptied at convenience. Aunt Jane counts that this second broom and pan which cost 45 cents in all, have saved her going up and down stairs at least five times a week for the last five years, or thir teen hundred times, and allowing that interest on the first investment might make the price of her broom and things 75 cents 1 cent fare saves her from going up and down seventeen times, and she considers it cheap. I know a family who went without a new dustpan ten years after they needed it, and made the old one do, because they never felt they could afford to pay half a dollar—country price—just for a convenience. But the mistress said when she had to get anew one finally, and thought of all the backaches and vexations about sweeping up she might have saved by getting it before, sne felt too big a fool to stay the fmrtily. The boys' bed stands in a corner of their room, away from the windows, and inconven ient to reach for making. You b»ow how un wholesome it is for any one whoieps at the back of abed in Buch position, where no fresh air reaches it Yet how tiresome it is to pull the bedstead out every night, and push it out of the way in the morning, the room being too small to allow its standing out The. cast ers are too small. Get a larger size or broad wooden wheels, and you can push the bedstead back and forth easier than you can move a, chair. The boys can pull it out at night into the bestair in tneroom, and shove it back to give them room for dressing. You can move it about as you like to tuck in the clothes when making the bed, and leave it out to air when ho one is in the room a touch will nut it in place any time, and the broad tires will not wear the carpet like small iron ones. It is a trifle to see that the furniture in a house has easy cast ers but the difference in ease of moving and keeping it neat will surprise' you. It's the, principle of having two tea-kettles oyer again —that comforts are always cheap. Women's Inventions, A patent office man says women's inventions ran chiefly to providing for emergencies. Aa, for instance, a skirt lined with India rubber tubes which may be blown up as a life pre server at sea, and prevent injury from fajMng on the slippery sidewalk or padding the starts of dresses wih av rubber apron, which yrw prevent the dress from nlinging too closely to the limbs on a windy day. Canpiw With the Baby. Chicago Tribune. "Bourgeois" sends from Denver a bit of fisherman's painting of life at Pine Grove, on the South Park railroad. In it occurs the fol lowing tender piece of wood-sketching: "It was determined that baby and I should tend camp for half an hour so that afternoon while the three natural guardians wandered off to the adjacent hillside to gather mid flowers wherewith to deck the tear-table. This was no new business to us. The yonng man, with a pillow at his back, seated in this middle of a blanket, rubbing bis face with a teaspoon I lying prone three fast away, with my toes beating an occasional- tattoo on the soft sward, my chin in my hands and briar-root between my teeith, watching him. There was a bright light in his eyes, anc his cheeks were rosy, soft aB velvet, yet firm and cooL What is there like the touch of a baby's cheek pressed against your own? You must turn and kiss it, just as you did its mother the first timo you had aright to. But is there anything more rediculous in life than to see a baby attempt to put a spoon into its mouth before it has got the knack of it See him hit himself in the eye with it, pretty much as a drunken mc,n would knock a fly off his nose smear in down his face, with his month wide open and turned np like a young robin's, but it misses the place on the way down he takes it with both chubby fists, looks at it with dignified surprise, as though for the first time aware of its presence, lets go one hand, whacks the spoon against one ear, and drags it across his cheek with the same result But- per sistence is characeristic of this baby, a quiet determination that has something appalling about it If there were any rasp-" berry jam on that spoon his facei would 1'ok worse than a railroad map of the state of New York. Finally, and as it would seem after all more by accident than design, the spoon reaches the right place he twists it round to the distortion of nis rosebud mouth then he looks at me, see's me laughing the fun seems to dawn upon him he takes the spoon out of his mouth, pounds the blanket with it, and smiles back at me, and the Bmile resolves itself into a well-defined laugh. The sun has just disappeared behind the range, but there is a mellow ray of golden light that lingers about the baby's head that makes me think—think of the one so like him, and from the base of the hill, with her handB full of flowers, the tallest of the three starts toward me, and! remember only the sunshine of the long path." Women on the Poliee Foree. W. W. Gill in Sunday at Home. Queen Makea, of Razotouga, South Pacific, indignant at the extent to which intoxicating liquors were being introduced and sold, one day called together her people and said: "You constables were directed to put down drink. You have winked at it In truth you are no use whatever except to eat on feast days and to share fines! lama woman. Let the staid middle-aged women of this village be enrolled as a police force. Perhaps they will have some regard for my word." This novel plan (of her own devising) has'been tried for some months, and so far succeeds remarkably well. Nothing escapes the eyes of these women constables. About fifty Orange River barrels have been given up and destroyed. Most of these barrels had pet names.. The fact is, the drunkards are in great consternation several of them have turned over anew leaf. So Fond of Dress and Parade. Some horrid man said recently: "Women are so frivolous, so fond of dress, parade and show that they would make of goyerment an everlasting spectacular drama." "Possibly,"f retorts Mrs. Livermore, "but I cannot remem ber to hare sees women walking delightedly for a few hours in a torchlight procession, through muddy streets, amid the thundering of cannon, the flash of rockets and the blazo of colored lights. I think I have never,seen them parading by daylight clad in bits of ab breviated aprons, ornamented at the shoulders in what Beemed to be exaggerated horse collars, their heads supporting ah infinite amount of fuss and feathers, and their padded coats over their swelling bosoms nearly bursting with delight as they caught admiriug glances from the other sex from the balconies and at chamber windows. Teaching a I'ive-Year-Old. Philadelphia Item. Every child should be taught to write a letter to be able to frame a little note of thanks, ac ceptance or invitation, as soon as it can print There is a deplorable lack of intelligence, as well as education, in a person who "does no* know what to say" When occasion requires a letter to be written. A 5-year-old" darling re ceived an invitation to another darling's birth day party, the other day, and the wise mamma made the little thing print her own acceptance, and very quaint and pretty it was, too. Such scrawly, misspelt words as they were, but any body would have understood their purport, and the child could not have had a better les son in her kindergarten. Small Fruits. The Rocky Mountain Rural says six goose berry bushes wilfproduce six gallons of fruit six currant bushes will produce twenty quarts six blackbei "y bushes will produce twenty-five quarts six raspberry bushes will produce ten quarts six grape vines will produce 120 pounds of fruit and six rows of strawberries, twenty-six feet long, will produce $16 worth of fruit, and that these fruits will create a 16 karat appetite, and your wife a six-inch smile. There is no farm but what there is room for these, and scarcely a full-sized lot in town but could furnish room for most of them. One hour per day would keep these fruit beds in good order, and the exercise would make life longer, healthier and happier. An Absorbent of Foul Air. The Sanitarian recommends for the purifi cation of the air in the sick room to "place in the bed a small basket or other porous article^ containing wood charcoal for the purpose of absorbing the foul air, which, if diffused thrqughout the surrounding atmosphere, would be constantly returned to the lungs and cause the patient to die of auto infection. 2. Ia a sick-room in which infants are sleeping, it is necessary to pat a box or basket containing quick lime and some -wood charcoal, for the purpose of fixing the carbonic acid exhaled from the lungs and of absorbing all the foul air generated in the system and iveu off by exhalation from the skin and otf .. ise. Sweeping Carpers. "F C. S." in The Continent I send a few hints which I have long used, but never seen in print In sweeping'carpets, use wet newspaper wrung nearly dry and torn into pieces. The paper collects the dust, but does not soil ^the carpet A carpet, particu larly a dark carpet, often looks dusty when it does not need sweeping wring out a sponge quite dry in water (a few drops of ammonia helps brighten the color) and wipe off the dust from the carpet Thirsaves much labor in sweeping. Hot Water for Headache.. Good Cheer. Congestive or nervous headacho is often greatly relieved by bathing the head with, water as hot as can be borne, and the appli en tion will seldom have to be repeated more than once before the patient will fall into a refresh ing sleep. Bathing the head and eyes itith bay rum is also cooling and quieting. How to Save One Who is Chofeinit. ,Dr. J. William White says: "Do not lose an instant Force the mouth open with the handle of a knife or of along spoon push the thtupli ud fingers deep down into the throai beyond the root of fha tongue, fed for the foreign body/ If the obstruction cfumot be grasped, a hair-pin bent into a hook and guided by the left hand will often bring it out/ If 'this fMls, get some one to press against the front of the chest or support it against the edge of a_table, and strike several hard luick blows with the opeh hand on the back, between the shoulder blades.

Putting Up Curtains. Good Cheer. When putting up curtains which are to, be draped, in a low room put the cornice to which the curtain is to be fastened dose to the ceiling, even if the window is put in lower down, as it gives the effect of greater height to the room.

"Did I ever tell you what Charles Sumner once said to me about the manufacture of matches?" queried Lucius C. Allin, the veteran armory foreman. "It was about fifty years ago now, when I was in doubt whether it would pay to go into the business, and aisked Mr. Sumner what he thought about it. He turned around, quick as a flash, and said, 'Mr. Allin, how many pins do you suppose are made in a year?' 1 thought there must be a good many millions. 'And how many times,' he con tinued, 'is a pin used?' 'PerhapB twenty on an average,' I replied. Then at least twenty times as many matches will be needed as pins, and of course it will pay.' Now, did even Charles Sumner ever size up anything neater than that? I made matches several years and, not onlv that, but I invented them. It waa away back in the thirties, when I was a boy. I was always fooling with the ingredients, brimstone and the like, till finally I struck an idea. Then I went to work and made a few matches, rather crude, of course, and showed them to a few friends, but they didn't think it would amount to anyth ing, and Ididn't either, at first, so I minded nothing about it till 1834, I think it was, when a friend persuaded mo to apply for a patent. It was quite a trip to Washington in those days, but in a few weeks I got word that a Chicopee man had filed a aimilnv ap licatioa a short time before mine arrived. I was satisfied that I could get the patent by fighting for it, but I didn't think then that it would pay, and so I made an arrangement with the Chicopec man, by which I was to offer no opposition to lus getting the patent, but could have the privilege of manufacturing matches on my own hook. He got the patent and I went into the business. I had quite an establishment on Walnut street, hiring about thirty hands, mostly girls, and kept at it till •37, the time of the great panic. The Chicopee man was a druftken peddler, and he went to Boston on a spree and gambled the pat ent away to men who have made their fortunes ,out of it I sold matches all through the country, but there was a good deal of opposition to their manufacture. The papers said it was a bid for incendiarism and many shop keepers wouldn't sell them. The railroad had got as far as Worcester then, but they wouldn't carry matches and I had'to hire men to drive clear through to Boston. There were some other matches in the market that would crack like a pistol when you lit them, and when we put some in a box and set them afire it sounded like a small cannonade. But my matches were like what we have now and wepe the first ever made that I know of.* Not a Bothschild's Game. Some darkeys started a faro bank in a Ken tucky town a short time ago, and no man was allowed to bet over"ten cents at a time. A man from Allen county was in to see what he could see, and in his rambles he came upon the darkey faro bank. He pulled out a $5 bill, bought its worth in chips and put them on the jack. The dealer was too busy, and at first did not see the big pile of chips and com menced dealing. Ho all at onco looked up, saw Allen county's pile and inquired: "Who's dat got such a pile ou dat jack? The Allen county man, not knowing the rules of the game, very sternly remarked, "That nine." The dealer gazed at hiqi for a moment ana r6^Pull her down from dar. Pull her down from dar you must tink Boschiles am playing dis game." "Iu-«les" Is the Word. The recently famous word "dude" has been in common use in the little town of Salem, N.
