She Wore a Loose One.

social leader read paper on Dress" 1t

cepted in spite of its strong argument against
the corset and highly dramatic climax ex
posing the ills these engender. At the close
the presiding officer asked if there were any
suggestions to be made on the subject, and
the various members arose and delivered
their opinions.
At last up rose a bright little woman,
round and dumpy in figure, and said: 81

arose to reply with blushing face and embar-

Oyerdressed Children.

French children, according to Paris let-
ter, are overdressed. The little girl of or
years old in Paris wears stays and tournure
and feathers, and often rings and bracelet,
while earrings are not unfrquently fixed in
her ears when she is in her nurses arms. This
exuberance of detail and want of simplicity
in children's dress is not only detrimental to
tho character of the doll like wearers, but
robs their appearance of much of its native
grace and beauty. I'm this respect English
children contrast favorably with their little
French neighbors The higher we look in
French society the more we see English ideas
prevailing in the treatment Of children.
When the COmtesse de Paris was living 10
France her nursery was like an English one
while her children were often dressed with
simplicity bordering on severity. New Yorb

The Dear Old Folk.

To a person who has once been active and
self reliant, the dependency attendant upon
old age is hard to bear. Upon those whose
privilege it is to care for them devolves the
choice of making this dependency easier or
harder to bear. The little attentions and
cares may be presented in such form as to
give the idea of merely suggesting what the
recipient would unquestionably have done
himself Unless the person is entirely help
less there are numerous bits of work about
The house which these aged people can do to
advantage and in other ways they can work
with another, and even though it be more
work to attend to them and show them what
needs to be done, than it would be to do the
whole alone, yet the satisfaction which they
feel in the thought that they are helping a
little, and the moments that are made to hang
less heavily on their hands, more than out
weigh all that can be brought to bear on the
other side of the scales.-LewistOn Journal

Dyeing at Home.

There is a custom now in vogue with ladies
that is not only originated for economy's
sake, but also for the facility with which
deft, accomplished hands can carry it out
well That is the dyeing system Take, for
example, my daughter She had a purple
saCeen which she wore until the brilliant
color grew tiresome to her and she desired a
change. Still, the material was perfect, and
not fitted at all to be discarded A happy
idea struck her. 1t should be dyed and ap-
pear like another dress. The expense Of dye
ing at an establishment would almost equal
the cost of new toilet, so she resolved I'll
play dyer herself, and did so efFectualry.
She procured quantity of diamond dye, and
by a clever handling of it so none should
touch her hands, she transferred the weari-
some purple to beautiful shade Of green.
Over this she draCad g swiss white lace. .a.aa

Queen Mary's Sycamore Trees.

To Mary Queen of Scots, so Mrs Jameson
riateS, are the people of Scotland indebted
fer the luxuriant upspringing of sycamore
trees in their realm. A little one was brought
from France by 1.-The fayre hand of royalty"
and was planted by the noble lady herself in
the gardens of Holyrood, and from this
small beginning have sprung all the beautiful
groves of sycamore now seen in Scotland.
This sycamore tree is sometimes called Egyp

The Mean Thing.
Private Secretary Pearson. o4 Governor
Beavers Office, Harrisburg, Pa. had curious
and somewhat startling experience with the
graphophone He began to turn the crank
and supposed that he was about TO cause the
machine to give out to the young lady type
writer a message which the governor had
talked into it the evening previous. The
young LADY was all attention, and the pri-
vate secretary began solemnly to turn the
crank, which works by treadle To his hor-
ror and the intense embarrassment of the
young lady, the following amorous tumble
was given out with decided emphasis
Now, don't George There some
body will come OF course love you.
There somebody really is coming, and you
have unused my hair all up. Please,
love- I'm so afraid that some one will come
in, and besides, can't work this crank if you
insist upon kissing me all the time"
The periods represent sounds too familiar
TO be mistaken. They were the smacking Of
lips and other sounds which accompany the
interchange of caresses between lovers
1t was some little while before the matter
could be satisfactorily explained, either by
the young lady or by Mr.. Pearson, who at
first were disposed to imagine that somebody
had been playing practical joke upon them
The matter was finally Strengthened out, how
ever, when the executive clerk came around,
and, upon hearing of the incident, laughed
heartily. He had, on the evening before,
been showing a bride and groom about the
executive department, and, being called away
for few minutes, had left them in the pI'i-
vate secretary's room to amuse themselves
with the graphophone while he attended to
the business which had called him away

THE AMERICAN PHARMACISTS.
To Meet In San FranciscO and Pass
Through This city.

T0 Meet I'm San Francisco and Pass
Through This city.
The American Association of Pharma-
cists is to meet in annual session in San
Francisco on the oath of June next. The
members of this representative body in
tend for the most part to come to the
Golden State by way of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, which will bring them through
Southern California. 1t is the plan to
stop over at few places en- route, among
which of course is Los Angeles.
Doctor William Meter, the aUont
courier of the party, is now in this city,
and will no doubt call on some Of the
leading pharmacists of the piece. The
representative houses in this line, and
the public in general, will do well to
make note of the fact that
these gentlemen will pass through
here during the latter part of June,
and prepare to show their
visitors, who will come from all parts of
the Union, proper attention.
Doctor Meter, by the way, is news
paper man, and is playing among us in
the role of "A chiel among us taking
notes, and faith he'll prent 'em.' He
corresponds with some of the leading
papers of the East, to which he will send
his impressions of what he hears and
sees in this section. The Guild, no
doubt, wilt treat him with customary
kindness.

COMPETITION APPEARS.
why the U. p. is Anxious to Build
the Salt Lake Road.

The result of the meeting of the direc-
tors of the Utah Central at Ogden on
Saturday is very important factor re-
garding the construction of the line from
Salt Lake to this city. 1t was agreed
then to amend the articles of the associa-
ton 80 as to permit the extending of the
road, for if this had not been done it
seemed probable that the Utah and Ne
vada railroad would have been broad
gagged without delay and carried di-
rectly west, dividing in Nevada with
one line going to Los Angeles and the
other straight on to San Francisco. The
speeding action of the Union Pacific
people is easily surmised from this fact
alone. Some outside persons down East
have had access to the reports made by
the engineers and experts who have been
sent over the proposed line by the Union
Pacific, and the information thus derived
has been made use of, SO it appears, by
parties interested in rival road. Their
appearance in Salt Lake City is looked
for. 30 the Union Pacific cannot delay
longer with impunity the construction of
a line to Los Angeles, and indeed, more
than one eastern road is eagerly cycling
the route through Southern Nevada.

GALLAGHER Lets, Ter Go.

A confirmed bad character by the
name of J. Gallagher was tried before
Justice Savage yesterday on the charge
of disturbing the peace. He is afflicted
with bad temper and wooden leg. 1t
is an old trick of his when he is arrested
to take off his leg and use it for a club
and then compel the officers to carry
him.
In the course of the trial yesterday he
constantly interrupted the proceedings
with frivolous talk and impertinent OBJ
servations. The Court stood it for
a while until at last Mr.. Gallagher became
profane. Then he was fined for con-
tempt and his original sentence doubled.
Instead of thirty days in the County Jail
he received sixty with $40 fine for con-
tempt.

THE QUARTZ MILL.
The Machinery at whAii--TO BE
Erected in Twenty Days.

Messrs. Edward Dunham and Sanford
Johnson, who are about to erect the
quartz mill in the Newhall district, have
returned from their trip up north. Mr..
Dunham showed HERALD man yester-
day dispatch from the agent at New
hall, stating that the machinery for the
mill was on the ground, and the ex-hotel
magnate added that it would all be in
position inside OF twenty days. A thirty
stamp mill, the largest of the
Huntington make, is to be
erected and will be located
about twelve miles above Newhsll, in
the San Francisco canon. This will in
duce good deal of prospecting, and as
that part OF the country is undoubtedly
rich in mineral, some satisfactory results
are expected. Mr.. Dunham showed the
scribe a number of specimens of both
quartz and placer gold which he had
personally obtained in the cafions north
of the San Fernando mountains, and said
that in the mining center it was the gen.
eral impression that the new mill will
create quite boom among the mineral
lands of that part Of Southern California.

THE CATTLE QUARANTINE.
Provisions of the Act Recently
Passed.

the ACb
Passed.
Some time ago the HERALD called at
tention to the fact that the cattlemen of
California were endeavoring to pass
quarantine act against the cattle of Ari-
zona, on the ground that eontagion was
being brought in, and also, doubtless, so
as to foster their own industry. The
measure was vigorously opposed by the
Atlantic and Pacific company, but it has
gone through, and a copy of it, the first
that has reached Southern California,
came yesterday into the hands of Mr.. @.
F. Smurr, of the Southern Pacific, and
through his courtesy the HERALD is en-
abled to produce it this morning. 1t
will be perused with interest by all stock
growers. Its substance is as follows:
The State Board OF Health is empow-
cred to declare quarantine against the
entry of domestic animals from any for
eign country in which contagious or in
fectious diseases are known to exist, and
all animals coming into the State from
such districts must enter at such points
only as the State Board of Health may
designate, where they will be unloaded
and inspected. After providing for certi-
ficates to accompany the animals the act
states that no cattle shall enter this State
from Texas, New Mexico, or Mexico, for
grazing purposes during the months of
March, April, May, June, July, August,
September, October, and November in
each year. The penalty attached to the
disobedience of any of the parts of the
act is fine of 81 900 and all damages
sustained. The State Board of Health is
authorized to appoint an inspector for
each point of entry.

retary was instructed to draw up petit
tion to the City Council and Board of
Supervisors asking that the eight-hour
law be enforced on all public works. The
meeting then adjourned.
