the bad accommodates Furnished by European
hotels and the Indifference of the proplietors to
the isles and comforts of their guests, The
fact is bookkeeping in Europe has never been

the simple reason that there are no bonfaccs

and Sansome streets, has, ever since MIR. Pear

city residence of the most prominent residents
of California, in addition to being the permanent
abode of several of the leading business men of
san Francisco and their families. Well knowing
how greatly chcerfully-furnished rooms, prompt
and courteous attendance, sumptuously- pro

nature contribute to the popularity and success
OF hotel life. Mr.. Pearson has always paid the
greatest attention to every department Of his
immense establishments and personally looked
after the comfort of transient "a well rs pcrma-

department receives his watchful care. He is

T!,r 4'rM!rnninl international, RIFLE
Match.

The international contest between the
five best rifle teams in the world has
resulted in substantial victory for the
American marksmen. The match was
organized underline auspices of the Cen
tennial Commission and held at Creed
moor near this city. and the American
rflcmcn were brought in competition
with picked teams representing the
crack shots of Canada. Ireland. Scot
land. and Australia. The contest lasted
during two successive days. and on each
day each marksman fired fifteen shots,
respectively ut targets located at dis
tanccs of 500. 900. and ! 900 yards. The
system of counting hitherto practiced
was employed. Il hullseye marking five,
Il center four. IN inner three. and an
outer two. SO that the highest amount
possible to make by any fifteen shots
was scventy-tive. At the end of the first
day the Scotch team led, the total scores
footing up rs follows: Scotch. | .2SS;

the second day. however. the Americans
worked steadily ahead, making final
score of :. l26 points. which left them
twenty-five ahead of the Irish. who were
second with score of 3.105 points. and
siXty-four over the Scotch. who Melted
3.ot2 points in the two days shooting.
The Australians finished with score of

Houselse opine Against Boarding.
EY MRS. II. W. EEECnEE.

We know that old age approaches,
many worn with heavy cares often THINK
they would gladly east off the burden
of household responsibilities. and ENJOY
the rest and freedom they imagine may
be found in boarding bnt we have sell
dom, if ever, found one who, having
made the experiment, felt in the end
that il was successful.
If orr Young people would be wise
enough to begin their married lie III II
small house. or better still, on Il single
hoor-a fiat how much more of true
happiness they might experience.
With good health, and only two TO
provide for in the beginning, no queen
on her throne could be more indcpcnd-
cnt than II young housekeepcr. even
with limited means. Such care and
labor can only he II pleasure, while it
insurcs good health, and prepares the
wife by experience to perform such
added cares rs coming years may bring,
and with much more ease and comfort.
But if young people will begin by
assuming the cares which must come
with II large house, and fill it, as it is
naturally filled. with daily guests, they
very soon become disgusted with house
keeping and seek refuge in boarding
house. -fI1.iTioU TuiOn.

this city. who recently found himself
"cornercd" financially. and desired to
so into bankruptcy. He applied to Il
LAWYER to know how much il would cost
to have the papers made ont and the
business put through. He was told that
the expense would be about 500, and.
appearing to he satisfied with the price.
he told the lawyer TO so ahead. The

4 CURE FOR CoLDs IL THE HEAD.-It
would seem rs if the cure for those
worst of all small nuisanccs. colds IN
the head, which DR.. Fcrricr. of Kings
College, suggested in the LoDcN. might
prove to be rem, dy of great value. 1t
is II snuil-a white powder composed
of the following ingredients: Hydro
chloratc of morphia, two grains: acacia
powder. two drachms trisnitratc of
bismuth, six drachms-thc whole max
ing mp n quantity of powder of which
from onc-quarter to onc-half may he
safely taken. if necessary, in the course
of twenty-four hours. DIR. Terrier says
that with this snuff he has twice cured
himself of very violent colds; once, in
deed, by taking trisnitrate OF bismuil
alone, which is IL very powerful remedy
for catarrh of the mucous membrane,
and is the most important ingredient in
this snuff. DIR. Ferricr mentions two
other persons who were cured of violent
colds by the same snuff, and to these in
stances we may add that the present
writer. who. having II very violent cold
coming on with the sensation of weight
in the temples and the usual disagree
able feeling in the throat, rs well as or
binary catnrrh, made trial of DIR. Fer
rier's remedy one evening, and got up
on the following morning completely
free from cold, which has not since re-
cured. The snuff, instead of incrcas-
ing the tendency to snceze. almost inn
mediately begins to diminish it.-Lo"-
don Spectator.

KEEPING ENGAGEMENTS.- Miss Marie
Poirson, of Paris, has ust done n very
pretty thing. She had been betrothed
to the Young Count de Foisant before
the war. in which. while serving in the
artillery. he had the misfortune to lose
both his legs. After that fatal shot at
Sedan. the Count must have thought
the chance of his love keeping her word
with him was but small; but she has
Just done so. The marriage has taken
place. During the Indian mutinv n
precisely similar misfortune befcll an
officer. who obtained the Victoria Cross
ut the price of the loss of his lower
limbs: and in this instance also the girl
who had promised her love to bim did
not withdraw it. Such loyalty can by
no means he rcckoned upon in the other
sex; and often an attack al smallpox or
othcrillncss is rs fatal to n man. fidelity
rs to his loves good looks. The late
Duke of Wellington took II very charac-
tcristic middle course under clrcum-
stances OF this kind. He was not senti-
mental nor chivalric. bnt he had II
strong sense of duty. When the wo-
man to whom he WAS engaged wrote to
say; My beauty has gone, he replied.
from Spain: Il am sorry for it; but |
will marry you still if you think proper
to hold me to my bargain" And she
did think proper 1t is scarcely neccs-
