From the San Francisco Newsletter.
In the dining room of the Hotel de
Monte, one of the members of the conduct
ors' pleasure excursion to California, with
his pretty young wife, was seated at break
fast, when two young district operators from
the city entered the room and sat down di-
rectly opposite the Eastern man and his
wife. It was not long before the youths
spotted the lady, and, as is usual with the
class to which they belong, they immedi-
ately fell to work criticising her to each
other under cover of their knowledge of the
art of telegraphing. Pretty girl that, =" tap
ped one on the edge of his saucer with his
spoon; think I'll try mash "''Better look
out, replied the other with his fork on his
plate; the old stiffll smell mice" n
much, tapped back number one; che don't
amount to shucks. I'll bet I kiss her be-
fore night What mouth she has; looks
as if she could kiss like duchess" There
was pause. Then from the other side of
the table the Eastern man picked up his
knife and touched the edge against his
tumbler. The youthful pair opened their
eyes and dropped their chins, while their
ears drank in the music of the sound, 'You
young blackguards, this lady is my wife. If
l can catch you when you leave this room I
won't leave whole bone in your worthless
hides!

THE HOME OF MARK TWAIN.
The Pleasant Impression it Made Upon the
Iowa HumOrist.

Iowa HumOrlSJ.
In a recent letter from Hartford, Conn,
to the Burlington Qowa) Haarkeye, Mr.. r.
J. Burdette writes:
''The pleasantest view I had of the city
was from the cozy fireside in that wonder
my host during my stay in Hartford. I am
not a man addicted to cold weather. I am
not sufficiently British to wander through
December and January in a short checked
coat and no ulster. 1 am given to much
Wrapping up when do go out in the snow,
and to very little going out in the snow at
all. I begin to SILVER with the first frost,
and keep it up until the following April.
And so when I can sit down before a bright
wood fire, and burn up cigars while some
body entertains me, love the icy Winter.
II think have never been in a home
more beautifully home-like than this pal
ace Of the king of humorists. The sur
roundings Of the house are beautiful, and
it's quaint architecture, broad East Indian
porticos, the Greek patterns in mosaic in
the dark. red brick walls attract and charm
the attention and good taste Of the passer
by, for the home, inside and out, is the
perfection of exquisite taste and harmony.
But with all it's architectural beauty and Or
iginality, the elegance of its interior finish
the house is the atmosphere of 'homelike-
ness that pervades it. Charmingly as he
can entertain thousands of people at time
from the platform, Mr.. Clemens is even
more perfect entertainer in his home. The
brightest and best sides of his nature shine
out at his fireside. The humOr and drol-
lery that sparkle in his conversation is as
utterly unaffected and natural as sunlight.
Indeed, I don't believe he knows or thinks
that most Of his talk before the sparkling
fire, up in the pleasant retirement Of his
billiard-room study, is marketable merchan-
disc worth so much a page to the publish
ers, but it is. And it is not all drollery
and humor He is so earnest that his
earnestness charms you fully as much
as his brighter flashes, and once in while
there is in his voice an infection of Won
derfnl pathos, SO touched with melancholy
that you look into the kind, earnest eyes to
see what thought has touched his voice.
And he has heart as bigas his body; be-
lieve there does not live man more thor
little girls and boy baby, bright eyed,
good tempered, and with full head of
hair as brown as his fathers, assist Mrs.
Clemens to fill the heart Of the reigning HUI
morist, and they do it most completely.
Personally, Mr.. Clemens is, perhaps, little
above the medium height, Of good symetri-
cal physique, brown hair, scarcely touched
with gray, that curls over high, white fore
head; friendship in his eyes, hearty cord
iality in the grasp of a well-shaped white
hand, strong enough and heavy enough to
be a manly hand; his age 40 something
and he looks IS; in the evening after the
lamps are lighted his face has wonder
fully boyish look, and he loves good CT
gar even better than Grant does"

The South Pole.
The Folly Of Attempting to Explore 1t.


Andrews's American Queen,
Again there is a frenzy for Antarctic ex-
ploration, Of which there has been little
since 1912. The rage for visiting inacces-
sible regions, where there are no human
beings and no possible human interests,
seems to us quite a waste of energy. We
know enough of the Southern pole to know
that more knowledge would not be worth
the trouble Of attaining; we know that the
Southern hemisphere winter is longer than
the Northern winter; we know that the North
pole is approachable from all directions
much nearer than the South pole; we know
that the South pole is buried under vast
ice-feld two OF three miles thick and $500
miles in diameter-so huge and heavy that
it has shifted the earth's center of gravit
caused the oceans to flow over the southern
half Of the p! net, and exposed to view and
habitation the land of the northern half; we
know that in the procession of the equi-
field will melt, evaporate and float
through the sky to CONCEAL at the
north pole, and that then the northern hemis-
phere will gradually sink under the sea till
the salt water stands two hundred feet above
New York city, and the released southern
hemisphere will slowly and silly tip out of
the oceans, revealing continents and islands
where new nations will be born, and great
civilizations take root and blossom. Know
ing all this, We have ample warning. When
the time of the cataclysm draws nigh we
can hedge by selling off our city real estate,
dispose of our houses on long lease
(money in advance), and go to Australia,
bidding tender farewell to the doomed
North tits sad to think that, if the prognost-
ications of science are trustworthy the vigor-
GUS North is to be submerged, and that, in
q little while, merely some twelve thousand
years, Fulton Market will have joined the
majestic ruins of the world, and sharks will
be disporting above Wall street and Goldfish
moving in select circles along Fifth avenue,
with only Trinity Church steeple and the
tall tower peering above the liquid waste.
It must be heartless wretch who desires to
know any more about paleocrystic latitude
that is responsible for bringing upon us SO
much woe.

Brief Notes and:Hints.

DR.. McMurtrie thinks the best localities
for beet raising in the United States to be
New England, New York, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Dakota, Washington
Territory, Oregon and California, one or
two countries in Pennsylvania, and Licking
County, Ohio.
The annual product Of beet sugar IN
France amounts at present to about 42O,-
900 tons, of 2, 200 pounds to the ton, and of
the value of $55 ,OOO, 900. The iaborers
employed in the beet sugar manufacture in
France, in 1875, numbered 81, O23 men, g.
367 women and 1892 children, which fig
ures do not include persons employed in
the cultivation of the root.
Sawdust is worth very little for manure,
but it makes an excellent mulch to mt
around trees, small fruits, and plants gen
