Every downtown building which afforded sufficient room has been turned into a morgue, hospital or refuge for survivors, while volunteers work to clear away the wreckage caused by the cyclone which exacted a toll of at least a hundred lives and from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 worth of property Sun day 'night. Warehouses left standing by the storm, freight sheds and St. Paul's church were filled with refugees Rich and poor alike are being shel tered in the school houses and other buildings. Many of the homes on the north side were wrecked. A path about two blocks wide through the whole sale and retail business districts was cleared of buildings. Mounted con stables who galloped into the city early Monday from the barracks took charge of the situation at the request of the city authorities. Assisted by the mounted police and 100 special constables, they took up the work of patrolling the streets and directing the wojk of rescue. Bodies are still being uncovered in the ruins and the list of injured has grown until it now includes 300 persons. The storm played freakish tricks on some of the houses, tearing out one side of many buildings, leaving the interior undisturbed. Many of the houses were twisted so that they will have to be torn down. In the district of the best residences about 400 houses were demolished. Among tnese the cries of girls and women caught in the wreckage urged the volunteer workers to increased ef forts in the work of rescue. Central Park, the- city's prettiest park, was filled with wreckage, Every tree w-as leveled. Great pieces of timber were carried nearly a mile. The Y. M. C. A. building, where it was reported many lives were lost and the $200,000 Metropolitan Methodist church were but a mass of twisted steel and of broken stone and bricks. SHOW SPLENDID RECORD. Southern Pacific Has Few Accidents - On Its Lines. In the last three years and ten months no passenger has been killed through collision or derailment on the Southern Pacific, according to the accident statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission, recently made public. During this period the road carried 150,400,000 passengers an average distance of 42 miles. In the last three years and four months but one passenger was killed through derailment or collision on the Union Pacific. There were 27,900,000 pas sengers carried during that time. Rail breakage has been reduced to a minimum by the introduction of the standard rail. Steel cars are re placing wooden cars over the entire Harrlman system, and automatic block signals will soon be in opera tion over every part of the lines. The inspection of the rails as they are manufactured, originally inaugurated by the Harrlman lines, has had much to do with the making of this safety record, and several other roads in this country have recently started similar Inspection methods. There is one way to reduce the fatality record on American railroads, and that is to rnes laws that will prevent trespass ing pn the rights of way. Fifty-three pe r cent of the people killed on our railroads annually lose their lives be cause of trespassing. A large major ity of those killed are hoboes and others, stealing rides. M. D. Boardman, 573 West Main street, Helena, Mont., after giving a detail account of his case, says: "I am almost 79 years old and have spent hundreds of dollars for medi cines, but find that I have received more benefit from Fgley Kidney Pills than from all other medicines."

Is said to be the place where the name "Uncle Sam" origi nated, says the New York Sun. After the Inst declaration of war with Eng land liy the colonics n New York con tractor, Elbert Anderson, visited Troy and made It his headquarters for the purchase of provisions for the Conti nental army. The supplies were duly Inspected before shipment. One of the Inspectors was Samuel Wilson, brother of Elienezer, also un inspector and known as Uucle Sain to the workmen whom ho superintended. The casks in which the beef and pork were packed were marked with the in itials of Elbert Anderson, the con tractor, aud the United States, thus: E. A..-U. S." The first pair of in itials were of course familiar to the men, but the "U. S." stumped them. The fact-was that the name United Stales was then so new to these coun trymen that its initials were a com plete puzzle. They turned to the near est explanation, a humorous one and lnteiitled as a Joke on their boss. If E. A." stood for Elbert Anderson, then, they opined, "U. S." must stand for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The Joke spread to the continental army, which earned it to every part of the country. FLAX WEAVING IS ANCIENT. And the Process Has Improved but Lit tle In Forty Centuries. Flax weaving, according to a recent authority, is 4.000 years old as an in dustry. Egypt was the first country to raise flax. All fine table linen In made from water spun flax, as water 1b essential to its manufacture. Vapor has been tried, but unsuccessfully. The process of manufacture has Im proved but little in 4.000 years, the lineu made by the Egyptians being often found in an excellent state of preservation, wrapped about the bodies of mummies. There Is no grass bleached linen to day, as grass bleaching Is too slow a process. Chemicals are used to short en the work. Very little flax Is raised in the Unit ed States because the air contains too little moisture. The finest lawns and handkerchiefs are made lu Ireland, and the Scotch linens wear perhaps better than any. Straight line patterns do not wear, as well as Ugures with rounded edges. In single thrend damask the same number of threads run each way. In double thread damask there is double the number of threads in the weft, which doubles the wear. New York Pos;. The Wedding Cake. The custom of having a special cake at weddings was introduced into Eng. land by the Romans. This cake. or. rather, biscuit, signified frultfulness. hospitality and 'prosperity. The rice that was showered upon n bride had n similar meaning. For many centuries after the Romans left the custom was to break the biscuit over the bride's head, and then the fragments were picked up and piled before herfor dis tribution to her friends. At the resto ration Charles II. returned with n small army of French cooks, who speedily converted the ancient biscuit into a delicious piece of confectionery, iced it with sugar and gradually adorn ed it with emblematical devices till it towered Into the amazing structure which the luxury of later times has de velopedLondon Chronicle. Ape and Beards. Almost all npes have benrds. Dar win says that gorillas, chimpanzees and orong outangs have also stiff nnd bristly hairs upon their upper lips, re sembling cats' whiskers. The beards of npes possess n remarkable resem blance to those of men In being al most Invnrlnbly lighter In color than the hair of the head. In apes the chlu growth is most frequently yellow or red. becoming white In age. It u common to both sexes, although more strongly developed In the male. Apes and monkeys also have eyebrows ns well,' which do not grow thickly to gether as In human beings, tint ar scattered through the hair, covering the part of the face which would be called the forehead in man. Cutting a Hailstorm. During a severe hailstorm in tie Him alayas our native gardener brought cut a hatchet and placed It edge upward In the garden to "cut the storm," as he said. Cntlin in his, "North American Indians" describes a ceremony of the Mandnn Indians In which hatchets and edged tools are sacrificed to the "spirits of the waters" to avert recurrence of the Krent deluge, of which the tribe has the tradition.

Apple Show to Give Place to Larger Exhibition. Portland, Ore. Instead of an ap ple show, Portland will hold a land products show tnls winter that will be the first of Its kind in the Pacific northwest. It is hoped to make it an annual event rivaling in interest the big land shows of the east and middle west. November or December will prob ably be the time of holding the show and It is planned to have it last two weeks. In scope it will cover the en tire Pacific northwest and all the states included in this territory will be asked to co-operate and send ex hibits. It is desired to have every product of the soil assembled here at that time. Commercial bodies will be In terested and it is hoped to levelop this event into an annual attraction that will appeal to people throughout the whole country who may he at tracted to the vacant ljinds of the northwest states. The land show project has the support of the Ore gon Development League and the chief organizations of Portland and the state.
