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."

scribable State
San Francisco, Cal.?The greatest la
earthquake ever recorded in this coun- ^
try, followed by a fire -which has swept ^
over eight square miles of the very
heart of San Francisco, caused the in
loss of from 500 to 1000 lives and *e
swept away $100,000,0000 worth of the w
most valuable property in the city. m
With. 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. One shock to
aoparently lasted two minutes, and tr
there was almost immediate collaose
of flimsy structures all over the city. 0f

About 10 o'clock even the Postal was Oi
forced to suspend.
Electric power was stopped and lei
street cars did not run, railroads and dj
ferryboats also ceased operations. Thp
various fires rased all day and the fire ov
department has been powerless to do ht
anything except dynamite buildings
threatened. All day long explosions dj
have shaken the eitv and added to the fii
terror of the inhabitants. w
Following the first shock there was in
another within five minutes, but not ev
nearly so severe. 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. It is believed that more or to
less loss was sustained by nearly every th
family in the city. * st

Fanned by a light breeze, the flames pc
jickly spread, and soon many blocks m

KILLED OH THE KEARSARGt
Fatal Accident in Forward Turrst o

TWO OFFICERS, FIVE MEN DEA[
Inquiry it Now Under 'Way ? 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. Lieuten

Jspsneae Etiquette. |
unless there are ladies among tlie \ J

host do not appear at dinner in Japan, j j
Before the meal begins it is customary |
t for them to bring in small cups of tea I
and dainty confectionery, when they
take their survey of the party.
If gentlemen only are present, the
v Japanese hostess disappears after
' greeting is over, and does not return <
until the guests are taking their depar- -J

At a signal from the host, barefoot- ^

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. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice. 4
3 Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinknam,
at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
l received, opened, read aud answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
I your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
1 ; advised. Mrs. Pinkbam is daughter*
i in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
i twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been advising
sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treating
female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case, oureiy, uuy wuuiau^ iuuui
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
f advantage of this generous offer ol
, assistance. "
