Itoflelenf Jam ; Jasmine Jelly. It will soon be possible to spread tbe breakfast toast .vith vioiet marmalade, or the afternoon muffin with rose-leaf jam. An enterprising provinci 1 jam maker, says the Loudon Express, is adding these cainti??s to his list of novelties and, greatly daring, he will also aspire to jasmine jelly and preserved lilac. The managing director of a famous London firm considers the uew venture feasible, but too poetic to suit All palates. "We uave been askei several times j for rose-leaf jam," said he, "but at present we do uot cousidsr it advisable to make flower jams. "Violets, however, preserved or crystallized, have always been popular deli ?eacies." A Great Poultney street arm aoes a targe business in sugared rose leaves, glace violets and other floral edibles.

San Francisco as its heart and d( centre, the earthquake has spread ruin and disaster through a region having a 0j radius of nearly a hundred miles. San Jose, nearly sixty miles to the si south, has beeu wrecked, and villages even farther south have been partially Cf destroyed, while inland for a hundred tl, miles and ninety miles to the north u, loss of life and great property damage have been caused. q, California's two great centres of w learning, the University of California m and the Leland Stanford University, fr have been wrecked. Great buildings rc of the Leland Stanford University are st reported to have been toppled to the p, ground by three shocks of the earthquake, and the University of California fj has been partially ruined. The Insane aj Asylum at Agnews is a ruin and the inmnt-os hnVP OSPflDed. n, The loss of life outside of San Francisco has not even been estimated, p Wires are down in all directions outside of the city, and only the most a, meagre details are to be obtained. Nearly 100.000 people are homeless jj, and many are huddled in the parks st and public squares beside the house- tr hold goods they were able to save. ec The city is under martial law. and all fr the downtown streets are patrolled w by cavalry and infantry. Details of troops -are also guarding the banks. at Almost all the principal buildings hftve fl< been destroyed, and others are in imminent danger. m Over all the scene of desolation hangs gj a dense pall of smoke. In' Oakland ry five persons were killed. San Jose th and Sacramento, Berkeley, Alameda cj, and other places heard from suffered gc severely, but report no loss of life. It was 5.13 a. m. when a terrific of earthquake shock shook the whole city in and surrounding country.

Three" hours later th there was another slight quake. ce Most of the people of San Francisco werp asleep at 5.13 o'clock when the th terrible earthquake came without Vi warning. TI The motion of the disturbance an- ra patently was from east to west. At ' first the upheaval of the earth was ra gradual, but in a few seconds it in- si! creased in intensity. Chimneys beean re to fall and buildings to crack, totter- M iner on their foundations. bi The people became panic-stricken, pc nnd rushed into the streets, most of Y< h?m in their nisrht attire. They were at met by showers of falling bricks, cor- tn ni^es and walls of buildines. Many were crushed to death, while fr others were badly mangled. Those th who remained indoors generally es- su caped with their lives, though scores were hit by detached plaster, pictures de and articles thrown to the floor by the in shock.

Fanned by a light breeze, the flames pc jickly spread, and soon many blocks m ere seen to be doomed. Then dyna- ro Ite was resorted to, and the sound of or equent explosions added to the ter- <Je ?r of the people. These efforts to pe ay the progress of the fire, however, fu oved futile.

CreTi Bad Ju?t Completed Target Practice and While the Foirder Was Ciolni Below Three Section! of a 13-Incli Gai Charge Were Ignited?Ship Not Injure( Washington, D. C.?The isrnition o throe sections of a charge "or a thir teen-inch gun in the forward turret ol the battleship Kearsarge, iu the viciD ity of Guantanamo, Cuba, resulted ii the death of two officers and five en listed men and the probably fatal in jury of another enlisted man. Lieuten ant John M. Hudgins, whose home wai in Washington, and Lieutenant Josepl W. Graeme, attached to the United States steamship Maryland, who waf acting as gun umpire at the time of the accident, were the officers killed. The Kearsarge had just completed targe! practice at the time of the accident. The news of the accident came to the Navy Department in a dispatch froir Captain Herbert Winslow, command lug the Kearsarge. Beyond the an nouncement of what had happened ant] the names of those who wete killed and injured, the dispatch containee! few details. It seems clear, howpver that there was not an explosion, and ii is presumed that the smokeless powdei hi-ivnorl iit? r>r hliriiinur tf death the men within the turret. A charge for a thirteen-inch rifle is composed of four sections. Aocordiuc to Captain Winslow's message, one sec tion of the charge in the gun and an other charge in the hoisting car usee to carry powder from the handling room below to the turrets, remained in lact. Upon tljese details the theory is based that there was not an explosion as both the section of powder withii the gun and the charge in the lift be low would have been ignited, causing the death of mauy more men anrl prob ably completely wrecking the forwarc part of the vessel. The cause of the accident, accordinj to Captain Winslow, has not been de termined, but an investigation is no\r under way. It is supposed that as sooi as possible following the ignition ol the explosive Captain Winslow mad< for Guantanamo and from there mad< his report. His dispatch to the Navj Debartment is as follows: "On April 13, about 3.15 p. m., short ly after completion of target practic< on the Kearsarge in the forward turret while powder was going below, thre< sections of a tbirteen-iuch charge wen ignited. Charge of powder in othei lift just below and one ret cion insid< thirteen-iuch remained intact. Cau? not yet determined nor accountability Matter Is being investigated.

THREE FACTS I - ' 'A ; \ ' $ ; For Sick Women if To Consider Fibst.?That almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful periods, displacements of the female organs, pain m the side, burning sensation in the stomach, hearing-down pains, nervousness, die* tin ess and sleeplessness. ; Second.?The medicine that holds , the record for the largest number of / i absolute cures of female ills is Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound., - It regulates, strengthens and cures t diseases of the female organism aa nothing else can. For thirty years it has been helping ' women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, Inflammation of the female organs, weak5 ness and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing women for | childbirth and the change of life. ; Thibd.?The great volume of nnso* j licited and grateful testimonials on file I at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, t Mass., many of which are from time to 3 time puDiisnea oy permission, give ?dp solute evidence of the value of Lydia 3 E.
