A rost appaliiug calamity has befall en the village of anseperate, situated a short distance frm Cagliari, Sardinia. It is estimated that not less than two hundred of the villagers have been drowned. On Saturday a flood swept through the village with sudden fury, aDd iu a m -ment the streets became rivets that carried everything before them Houses were lifted fro in their foundations hnd carried whirling down by the water. The occupants did not have an opportunity to attempt to save themselves. Many of them were askep when the torrent carrid their hou-is away and were awakened only to find themselves struggling in the water. Men, women and children were drowned and not a single effort could be made to help them, so sudden was the disaster. The place is isolated by . the flood and access to it is very difficult.

A Washington dia patch of Monday says: The secret service division has discovered a counterfeit of the new issue of two-dollar silver certificate, series 1886, check letter B. 2,235, W. S. Rose crans, register; James Wi Hyatt treasu rer. The most marked difference be tween this note and the genuine, and a difference which will result in the de tection of the counterfeit at a glance, is that the upper loop of the "J" in James in the signature James W. Hyatt points directly between "D. C," after Wash ington in the genuine, while in the coun terfeit it is about one-eighth of an inch to the left, or immediately under the letter "D."

THE FUNERAL TRAIN Bearins Mrs. Harrison's Remains Leare Washington lor Indianapolis. Simple and Solemn Fnneral Rites at the White House. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Harrison occurred in the ea-t room of the white house at ten o'clock Thursday morning. The magnificent east room was beautifully decorated witn flowers and plants and the display of floral offerings excelled anything ever seen in Washington in beauty and variety. The f ervicea were of the simplest char acter. The attendance waa limited to the members of the personal and official family, members of the diplomatic corps, and a few personal friends. An hour be fore the services began the cacket was brought down stairs and placed in the east rofjm, and soon alter persons began assembling. Whifelaw Reid was an early arrival. Janv s G. Blaine, Mrs. Blaine and Miss Hattie Blaine were also present. This was the first aDDearance of Mr. B aine in the white house since just before the day he sent his resignation as secretary of state to the president. The justices of the supreme court, roembeis of the diplomatic corps, politi cal officials and personal friends of the fmily were als present, about two hun dred people in all being in attendance. Just at noon, Vice-President Morton and the members of the cabinet acting as honary pall bearers, entered the east room and soon after came the president supporting hi9 daughter, Mrs. McKee, on his arm. They were followed by Mr. and Mrs. Russell HarrisoD, Rev. Dr Sctt and Miss Parker, Mr. McKee and Mrs. Dimmock. Hon. J. V. I. Find- ley, of Bdtimore, the president's cousin, and Mr. Fmdley. Lieut. Parker and pri vate secietary Half ord. The scene was strikinglyy beautiful. The chandeliers cast a flood of mellow light, the windows having been darken ed. Several mantel pieces were banked with ferns and banked at each end by larger palms. Around tne casket were grouped a great wealth of floral offerings through which the friends ot Mrs. llar- ison. present and absent, testified their appreciation of her worth while living and their sorrow at her death. They filled all the space on either side of the casket almost to the window on the east and the door into the corridor on the west connecting the apartment with the pnv tte portion of the house Rev. Dr. Hatli", the president's pastor, opened the services with prayer; then followed "Abide With Me," sung by lett read passages from the scripture ap- hymn, "Lead. Kindly Light," was follow ed by the concluding prayer by Dr. Hat iiu, uuu men me casKet was born out of the house by eight J-talwart men se lected from the force of executive man sion ushers. On the broad poriicoof the white house the president stopped a mo ment to don an oveicoat, which the ch ll, raw atmosphere made necessary, then h entered a CHrriage with Mrs. McKee and Mr.l and Mrs. Russell Harr son. and was driven tu the place in line. Nearly all government departments had been closed from 10 o'clock to noon, and the crowds of employe s gathered near the whi e house and on the steps of the treasury building to watch the proces-sion pass along Pennsylvania avenue. Hunditds more gathered on the sidewalks, and nearly all the men doffed their hats the hearse went by. us It as a slow moving cortege, about two blocks in length, and took forty minutes to cover the dozen blocks b -tween the white house and the stat;on. At the sthtion a very large, but silei t, crowd nwaitt-d the presidential party ou the platform until the casket had been placed iu the funeral car. The train left fr Indianapolis at ll -AO. BURIAL OF. MRS. HARRISON AT 1XDIAN APOLIS. A Special from Indianapolis says: The special train conveying the remains of Mrs. Harrison and members of the funeral party arrived at 9:30 o'clock Fri day and wire greeted by thousands of sympathetic friends. The president's giief was generally respected and nearly all men removed their hats and bowed their heads when he passed through the station leading his sorrowing fnmily to the carriages provided for them. When the casket had been placed in the hearse and the funeral party were seat d in car nages, the procession slowly wended its way to the First Presbyterian church, which was heavily and tastefully draped with mourning emblems and decorated with a profusion of flowers, while a crowd of 5,000 people thronged the side walks and streets. The services were cnar'.ctenzed by the greatest simplicity. At the close of the services at the church the cortege took up its line of march to Crown Hill cemetery. Along tbe line of march thousands of people stood with uncovered heads. In front of the president's Indianapolis residence, sight-seers had gathered in number that rendered the sidewalks almost impass able. At the cemetery a crowd of 5,000 people had assembled to witness the close of the. ceremonies which, as else where, were characterized by the utmost simplicity. The proceedings were watched by the president with stream ing eyes and his sturdy fiame was con vulsed with the poignancy of his grief. The services at the grave were exceed ingly brief, consisting of the reading of the funeral services of the Presby terian church, a prayer and the benediction. Leaving the cemetery the president, his f tmily and near relatives, proceeded to the residence of R. L. McKee, where they had a luncheon and were visited by few intimate friends. The special train -bearing -the pres idential party left Indianapolis at 5 :30 on its return to Washington. Tbz cost of the Columbian celebration fa Hew York is now bains counted up. Esti mate place the expense at between 14,000, 000 and 15,000,000. It is estimated that the bunting and decorations for Columbus weok cost t2L00O,O0a BUSINESS OUTLOOK. Trade is In Good Condition, Though Prices are Low. R, O. Duu & Co.'s weekly review of trade say : "There is still no cloud in the business sky. unless the state of foreign trade be one. All home trade is ot enormous volume, making an aggre gate of bank exchanges outside oi xiew York thus far in October never equalled in the same month of any previous year. the excess over last year being about 14 oer cent, and over 1890, when October transactions were the. largest on record, the excess this year thus far is about 9 per cent. Prices are low but merchants are pressing for more business at the same rates. All domestic industries are crowded with orders and works, as a rule, are fully employed, many jjng pushed to rvertime by the urgent f.vund resulting from an unprecedented distribution of goods .

The money markets are nowhere stnn- rronf notwithstanding the unusual delay It returns from the wet or from Europe.

It is claimed that we are degenerating, and that our good figures of former days are gradually disappearing. At any rate tin is what the tailors tell us, having noticed it by comparing the measures and jKiiterns used for the clothing of hfty persons between eighteen and twenty two years of age thirty years ago and a similar number of the present day. In the old measures, that u to say in those used thirty years ago, the anterior thoracic line corresponding t the open ing of the coat waa at a greater distance from the seam under the arm than in the models of to-day, which shows a dispo sition at present toward a less convex an terior thoracic wall and a decrease in the capacity of the chest. On either side of the front middle line, and practically in the perpendicular of the breast, a mans garment Has a seam enabling the maker to outline the form and to decrease the lower diameter of the' body f the coat. In our days this has to bo replaced by the removal of a piece in the form of an ellipse, because the chest of the young man of the present day is gradually ac quiring the same diam.ter above and be low. The posterior line of the chest, corre sponding to the back middle line of the . -i A t i :' i garment, ana msieaa oi ue:.ng s-iaiguu, as on the old models, has an anterior con cavity in its upper half, in order that the garment should not bag but should fit the back, which Has a tendency to De- come round. On the measures of their different clients we find in eighty per cent, of the cases this mention : Round shoulders. These transformations can be resumed as follows: The chest is flattened that is to s;iv the anterior thoracic wall has no longer its normal convexity -the back is round, its line is convex, whereas it ought to be straight; finally, the upper and lower diameters of the chest have a tendency to become equal in other words, while 'he lower diameter has re mained normal, or practically so, the upper diameter ha9 decreased and the thoracic capacity has, of course, dimi nished by so much. These modifications are found in eighty cases out of a hun dred. The normal type, with straight and slightly concave back, full chest, and good figure, is now the exception. Other remarks mi be made in this connection, though they cannot , be graphically represented on the model or pattern. Normal shoulders that is to say, high shoulders, in the technical language of the tailor are only seen three times in a hundred; the neck reaches forward, the chest is flat and the back curved. The appearance of a young man from eighteen to twenty two years of age can be readily observed at any time. The hips are prominent and the upper part of the body short. The semi circumference of the chest at the breast and the same measure of the abdomen have : a tendency . to become equal, whereas thirty years ago the former was from eight to twelve centimetres greater than the latter. Are we to think that a sedentary life, work at desks that are often too low, a want of physical exercise with the arms are the cause of these deformities? The author of the foregoing researches which were published recently in La JVorman die Afedimle, claims that this is so, but I think that in order to be so affirmative these deformities would have to be com pared with those that have been reported in other countries, and this has not yet been done. About Wrinkles. Wrinkles are the index of nervous condition. Upright lines between the eyes, indicate mental trouble, thought, care or temper, more than physical illness. Fine netted lines about the eyes denote nervous exhaustion and the depression which follows overstimu lus. Women are likely to get them from living and sleeping in close, hot rooms. The latest scientific writer on the subject says the air in our rooms should be changed three times every hour. The skin owes its beauty to the nerves which control the fine invisible blood vessels of the surface, whose work lends glow and transparency to the face. The nerves in turn owe their sensitiveness to the air, which, noxious or pure, is our chief nutriment, inhaled by gallons hourly. When the nerves are deadened bv close air, the fine muscles lose their tone, the tissue of the face shrinks, and these shrinkages become wrinkles. At first they are fugitive; a week's watching may write the face over with cross-hatching of fine lines, and another week of rest will restore lost tissue, fat and fluids to fill the spaces and smooth the face again. To avert wrinkles, the nervous and orer-taxed must rest, and eat nourishing food. The neuralgic should eat roast fat and make food tempt ing with condiments, adding to their fare the sound, coarse bread which contains pnoepnate to ieeu uieir starved nerve, and it is the great regulator of nutritive function. Too often the trouble is not so much what people e.it, but what they don't eat, and do not get provided for them at the table. Lean ness and wrinkles go together. We sel dom see a florid, plethoric woman with them, as the supply of blood keeps the skin in repair. Steaming the face is the fashionable treatment to remove wrinkles, but it is an idea of American adoption, if not original. French specialists depre cate steaming. They say it makes wrin kles worse when the practice is sus pended, and assert that it causes falling of eyelashes and eyebrows. The intensely hot steaming may have that effect in cer tain states of the blood, and it must eau-e determination of blood to the face, which is far from healthy. The remedy is to use vapor-at milder heat, keeping up the process longer at a time. Half an hour over the vapor, however, is more time than most women can spend. The most convenient application is a firm waxen paste, which takes time for rubbing out and gives just the right amount of massage for the face in the process. The soft oily salves and creams in request are not such good wrinkle erasures as a firm, protective cosmetic which will not rub oft s easily, but allow the mois ture of the skin to remain and freshen the tissues. It is easier to disperse wrinkles than to erad icate any other defecfof the face. Sleep, much more than people suppose necessary, rather hearty food, and moister air in houses are indispensable to keeping a smooth face, whatever cosmetic is used, and a toilet paste or cream has twice the effect in less time if the hygiene f tla-i complexion be observed. Massage of tha face should be by a firm leisurely strok, just soft enough not to irritate. The best usage makes the movement in circu lar sweeps over the wrinkles, aot lifting the lingers much till one has finished on that particular line. Massage of the fa should be soothing not leaving it flushed and burning. To avoid the wretched network of lines about the eyea and bag gy eyelids, observe the precaution never to sleep after a dance or late hours with out bathing the face plentifully in very warm water and taking a few teaspoxm fuls of something light, half a . cup of chocolate, or hot bullion, eau sacre, rice and syrup, or a lemonadc-with or with out a fresh beaten egg. Three spoonfuls of such refreshments will take off ihe horrible exhaustion whfch presents its accounts on waking. A cup of hot water with one drop of oil of cinna mon is a famous restorative, especially 1 heart weakness after late hours. RKLIARLK RKCI1KS. Pancakes. Pancakes make another simple dessert. The Jollowing is an ex cellent, as well as an economical recipe: To make eight to ten panwkes as large as the inside of a small frying pan, take one pint of milk, six eggs, and half a pint of the whitest flour, a pinch of salt, an 1 a scanty tablcspoonful of sugar. Beat light with an egg-beater, and have ready a small frying pan or omelet pan. in which heat a piece of butter the size . of a walnut. An iron pan is the Iwst. When quite hot pour into it about halfa teacupful of the mixturer sufficient to make a thin cake. Sec that your fire i not too lively, and shake your pan fre quently to prevent scorching. 'When the pancake is light brown underneath, turn it upside down. If you cannot do it by tossiug it in the air, like an ex perienced cook, take a hot plate, place it on top of the frying pan, hold the plate in its place with one h ind; while with the other hand you turn the pan upside down, so jthat the cake flaps oa the plate. Put a little more butter la your pan, and let your cake slide front the plate into it. When light brown as tho other side also, place your 'cake on a hot plate, and continue baking until all your battter is used up, putting a little fresh butter into the jan with each ad ditional cake. Place one cake on top of the other. Srve hot with either stewed or preserved fruit, or with fruit sauce. You may also serve them with powdered sugar and lcuon quarters, the juice of which is to be squeezed on each cake be fore being eaten. This is the kngiisfc way. Or you may spread fruit jelly or jam on each cake and servo rolled up. The rolling you can manage to do with "a silver fork stuck iu out: end of the caks and turned over and over. To be quire economical you may reduce tho uumler of eggs given above, and still have very good pancakes. - . . - - , '1 Cauliflower.. Cauliflowers are now in the height of their season. No mors delicious vegetable lexista than the cauli flower, which has Within the last dozen years become so cheap, though formerly considered a luxury. Cauliflower is now, in market all the year round. In the spring months it is brought to New York from England, but the British vegetable docs not have the flavor, after its sea voyage, of the cauliflower, picked in tlie Long Island gardens under the hinds of skilled cultivators. There are many delicious ways of cooking this vegetable bcsVlfs the famil- iar one of boiling it and scrying it with cream sauce. An excellent way is "aa gratin. lo prepare a .cauliflower tins way, select a large, fine one. .Tear of the leaves, pick the flowers aplrt, cut off the roots, and wash it thoroughly in cold water. Then put in a sn ;'.cepan an abund ance of cold water. Add a handful eg salt and let the vegetable cook for thirty minutes atter it begins to boil. Whci it is cooked, drain it, put it in a baking dish, and have ready a cream sauce, made by mixing a tablcspoonful dt flour with two tablcfVjjOonfuls of bat ter, stirring - in two cups ff milk with salt and eppex. Let the cream sauce cook tea minutes after making it. Add three 1 T, tablespoon fuls of grated Parmesan cheese, and pour it once over the cauliflower- hi the baking-dish. Sprinkle over tfe cauliflower three more tablespoonfuls of Parmesan cheese, a tablcspoonful of fresh bread crumbs and a few bits of butter. Let the cauliflower bake in a quick ovea for about twenty-five minutes, when it should be a rich brown all over. A cream of cauliflower soup is one of our beat autumn soups. Mix a largo tables poo -ful of butter with two tablespoon fuls f flour. Add a teaspoonfol of salt and "a quart and a half of white stock. Put is half a. small cauliflower which has bees fi" Let the soup cook thirty mia- utes. Then pre the whole through puree sieve and return it to thu fire. Add a cup of boiling cream and let the w hoi boil up for five minutes, stirring irall the time. Serve it with pate-a-cbou' ball, rolled out t'.ic size of pcai and . fried brown in lard, or baked in the oven with squares of brown toast. It may be inter esting to some to know that the French call these pate a-chou balls by the com plicated name of 'profittecolles," but they are none the delicious ia spite of tbe name. AROUND TUB HOUSE. Put a teaspoonful of salt into a sene lamp once in a while. kero- If green blinds are dingy aid faded, wash, and rub on a little sweet oil. - A large, soft tponge, either dry or slightly dampened, makes a good dus ter. Sweet oil and putty powder, followed by soap and water, makes one of the best mediums for brightening brass or copper. A writer in Harper's Hazar telt-i how those who cannot buy a filter can make one. Take a common five-cent flower pot of earthern ware, putting ia the hole a piece of thoroughly cleansed sponge, over that a couple of inches pulverized charcoal, and over that a couple of inches of sand; over that again about half as much clean coarse gravel, aod then tha water, slowly filtering through, must needs have been very bad at the start net to be very pure at the end. l-
