Too much housework wrecks wo

care of children, day and night, is I
often too trying for even a strong

story of the overworked housewife
and mother. Deranged menses, I

Every liousewife needs a remedy H
to regulate her menses and to IS
keep her sensitive female organs m
in perfect condition. H

Castries, St. Lucia, B. W. I.,
May 10.?Mont Pelee, a volcanic
mountain some ten miles north
of St. Pierre, the commercial
capital of Martinique, is the
mountain which made a faint
show of eruption oft years npo. I
On May 3 last it began to throw j
out dense clouds of smoke. At I
midnight the satno day tlames
accompanied with rumbling
noises, lighted the sky over an;
immense area, causing widespread
terror. May 4 hot ashes
covered the whole city quarter
of St. 1'ierre an inch thick and j
made Mont 1'eleo invisible. At!
noon. May 5, a stream of burning
lava rushed 4,400 feet down the
mountain side, following the dry
bed of a torrent and reaching sea,
five miles from the mountain , in
three minutes.
lu its rush the tier}' ilood swept
from its path plantations, buildings,
factories, cattle and human j
beings over a breadth of about a '
mile.
At the rear of the mouth of the
river Blanche stood the large;
Guerin sugar factory, one of the!
finest in the island. It is now
completely entombed in lava.The
tall chimney alone is visible. One
hundred and fifty persons are es- j

including the owner's son.
THE SKA RECEDED.
As the lava rushed into the sea,
the latter receded 300 feet all
along the west coast. Returning
with greater strength, a big wave
covered the whole sea front of
St. Pierre, but doing little darnV

age ashore or alloat.
Terrible detonations, heard
hundreds of miles northward,
followed at short irregular intertervals
and continued at night.
The electric light failed but the
town was lit up by lurid Hashes
of llame from the mountain.
The terror stricken inhabitants
rushed for the hills iu their
night clothes, screaming, shout
ing and wailing?mad with
terror.
The IMissoni family escaped to
St. Lucia in a small steamer.
Thirty-five persons, mostly women
and children, arrived here
in the forenoon of the (5th and

men remained at Martinique.
The samo afternoon later, telegraphic
communication was interrupted
with both the islands
of Martinique and St. Vincente.
During the afternoon of thej
8th tlie British steamer lioddam,
which had left St. Lucia at niid-l
night on the 7th for Martinique,
crawled slowly into ihe Castries
harbor, unrecognizable, gray
withashts, her rigging dismantled
and sails and awnings hang
in? about, torn and charred.
RAINED OOA1.S OF FIRE.
Capt. Whatter reported that
having just anchored oil St.l'ierre
at 8 a. m. in fine weather sue
ceeding an awful thunderstorm
during the night, he was talking
to the ships's agent, .losepfi l'iisono,
who was in a boat alongiide,
when he saw a tremendous cloud
of smoke and glowing cinders
rushing with terrific rapidity
over the town and port, complete,
ly, in an instant, enveloping the
former in a sheet of llame and
raining lire on board. The agent
had iust time to climb on board
when his boat disappeared. Several
of the crew of the Koddam
werequickly scorched to death.By
superhuman efforts, having steam
up, the cable was slipped and the
steamer backed away from the
shore, and nine hours later, managed
to reach Castries. Ten of
the ltoddam's men were lying
dead, contorted and burned out
of human semblance, among the
black cinders which covered the
ship's deck to a depth of six
inches. Two moro of the crew
have since died.
UKKOIC CAPTAIN ON SKA OF FLAMES.
The survivors of the Hodman's
crew were loud in their praise ol
the heroic conduct of their captain
in steering his vessel out of
danger with his own hands,
which were badly burned by the
rain of tire which kept falling on
tin* ship tor miles after she got
under way. Beyond burns all
over his body the captain is sale
as is also the ship's agent, though
lie is badly scorched.
Mr. Plissono is believed here
to be the sole survivor of the
forty thousand inhabitants ot St.
Pierre who remained there for
the town and the shipping in the
port have been utterly destroyed,
