LOVE OF HOME.

Too much care cannot be taken on this

away from the parental roof. AS little boys
they stay out late to play; as older boys
they have many associations out as Young

as husbands they wander STILL leaving
their wives to languish in solitude. 1t is
a fault easily gained and often disastrous
to domestic peace. go run out doors and
play :" Mothers busy now and can't be

the house," II don't see what boys are

and kindred remarks? They are the lit

Coop MORALS.

Purity in mind. That and action are
Just as commendable in men as in women,
and absolutely necessary in the make up
of the model man. A mother once said to
me. 81 don't worry about my boys. If
they make mistake the world will par
don it; they are different from girls you
know" Alas, that this should be more
than half truth. so far as the world goes,
at least. But as the world is not the final
Judge it is well to look beyond worldly
opinion. Boys are subjected to many
temptations which they should be pre-
pared to conquer. Evil communications
corrupt good manners" A young man
whose lips are free from slang, with breath
untainted by tobacco's fumes, while the
mind. unclouded by narcotism or alcohol
c stimulation. would blush to think a
thought he would not dare to speak in
women's presence. That is the manner
of man fit tor q husband and not beyond
the range of possibilities, if mothers will
labor as they should. Manhoods estate
reached with good morals and love of
purity, when husbands, they will not cas-
lily be tempted to seek new love in fol bid

Seals of San Francisco Bay.

Further out along the bay you come to
the now famous Cliff House" and "Seal
Rock" at the waters brink Of the old
Pacific at the mouth of the harbor. The
Cliff house is a large frame structure
built out over the brink on the edge of
the high rocky cliff overlooking the great
western ocean. Just off shore forty or
fifty rods or more several great Jagged
conical boulders rise abruptly out of the
water to the height of from ten to thirty
feet, the largest of which Is known as
"Seal Rock" from the fact that on its
sides and top may be seen at any time a
score or more of these animals in their
native state.
A seal is curious looking animal and
as clumsy and awkward mover it is a
complete success. Its locomotion is by
no means elegant or graceful, and in
order to gain Roadway it rears It's head
two or three feet in the air and at the
same time throws itself back on its
launches and by suddenly dropping itself
forward, apparently on the under side of
its neck, it manages in some way to pull
itself along with a awkward hitch, at the
same time keeping its long neck wagging
I'D and down, but never for one moment
forgetting to keep up that everlasting
and unmelodious "quack. quack, quack.
This show is one of San Francisco's best
cards, as these animals in their wild state
are a genuine curiosity and they draw
great crowds daily to the spot. SpoTtsmen
are forbidden to shoot them under the
severest penalties. This interesting place
is reached by means of a dummy rail-
way the trains of which make a round
trip every hour.-San Francisco Cor.

How Letter. Of oondo,eno. were written.

How Letters Of Coincidence Were written.
How often does not the lion owe
great deal to the mouse. or. to put il II,
another way, how frequently do not
great men take credit for ideas original
ing in little mems brains? The death of
Gen. Grant is still an event remembered
by all. 1t may be recollected that fol-
lowing CLOSE upon the receipt of the news
in London. letters of sympathy were
cabled from Gladstone, Bright, Irving
and Matthew Arnold. To the American
and the English public it seemed that
each of these four men was sinultane-
ously struck with the same benevolent
project; and they duly received the re-
fected honor Of their act. But they were
mere puppets, worked by an enterprising
reporter, at whose prompting they wrote.
This journalist had no easy task before
him. His original scheme included the
obtaining Of similar effusion from Lord
Salisbury, but he was thwarted by the
marquis hall-door keeper in Arlington
street, a great, burly man, with a sublime

averring that he had not been inter

right honorable gentleman changed his
mind and indited the desired letter.
Mr.. Gladstone at the time was out Of
office and at home, enveloped in a bundle
of hearthrugs and wrappings which had
that appearance. The sentinel at the
door was cheeky private secretary who
took upon himself to refuse communica-
ton with the ex-premier. The rebuffed
journalist sadly wended his way home
ward disappointed, but on the road met
Mrs. Gladstone in carriage, which he
hastily stopped. He explained his bust
ness and was asked by the lady to return.
Much to the private secretary's chargin
the reporter handed Mrs. Gladstone out
of her brougham and was conducted by
her to the grand old man, who, immedi-
ately perceiving the opportunity, scrib-
bled the letter which in due course ap-
peared on both sides of the Atlantic

A City Built Upon Wood

San Francisco is, you might say, city
built almost entirely of wood. Very lit
tie brick or stone is used even for founda-
ton purposes and we find very many of
the finest residences and other buildings
set upon wooden posts, the intervening
space between the house and the ground
being ceiled up. The architecture has
uniformity Of appearance and is peculiar
to this coast alone, we never having seen
anything like it before in any Of the
cities of the Union
The dwellings are, as rule, set with
one end to the street, generally within
few feet Of the walk. With highly-orna-
mented front elevation carried up square
above the gable and with half-round or
square protruding bay-windows reaching
from the ground to the top of the build
ing, an exceedingly pretty and attractive
house is the result. The siding used is
uniformly about ten inches in width and
is known as drop-siding. The favorite
and prevailing color in paints is drab.
The public buildings and hotels as well
as the private residences, are mostly
built of wood, probably from the fact
largely that this is a country subject to
earthquake visitations, and it is undoubt-
edly thought that houses constructed of
wood would not be SO liable to tumble
about ones ears as would brick and NOR

Rather Vague Notions About America.
Strange as it may appear, the best
classes in England would appear to have
rather vague ideas about America.
Some Americans may have equally
vague ideas about England. An Ameri-
can relates that he was once travelling in
England, and he was staying for a week
at large country house, which was, as
usual at that season, full Of guests, in
vited, like himself. It was an old estate,
and had the usual display of oaks, which
are so handsome and picturesque feat
ure Of English country parks He was
walking through the park one day with
naughty, aristocratic lady.
"Have you any trees in America? ?" she
suddenly asked him. He was too much
taken abaok to speak for moment, and
before he could reply she broke in.
"Why, what silly question I've asked
you! OF course you haven't any trees.

An Old Long Island schoo1-House.

The public school building at Cold
Spring, Long island, was built ninety-six
years ago, and is still in good repair. 1t
was raised on the 23rd of April, 1890. On
that day George Washington was return
ing from tour of the island, and while
passing from Huntington to Oyster Bay
cove he came upon the spot where the
new school-house was being raised. He
stopped, and, after assisting to place one
