There was ripple Of surprise manifest
when joaquin Miller, the poet Of the
sierras, refused to furnish the annual
poem for the local committee. People
who know the erratic joaquin, however,
did not marvel over his refusal, as they
have known for long time that the
poet is no longer the public character,
the man of the world and the platform

our modern civilization. There are many
material things which CRATE harshly upon
his poetic nature, and he has learned to
ignore rather than to love the bustling,
busy life of city and town. Not many
years ago he declared that never again
would he cross the continent, and that
the country to the east Of Mount Shasta,
whose rugged peaks he loves so well,
would see him no more.
High up. on the foothills, three miles
back Of East Oakland, Miller purchased
fifty acre tract Of land two years ago,
and here he has built his home. From
the doorway Of his cottage he views the
Golden Gate and the cities Of San Fran
cisco and Oakland They are near
enough to him, he SAYS, from that dis.

as hermit that he scarcely ever comes
to the city. During the past year his
visits have been growing more infre

was a cot. LUXURIOUS in rugs and furs
and on the cot reclined the poet, busy
with pen and paper, pausing in his WORK

In merry mood you blossomed,
Little ball Of silver gray;
You were golden then and CHEEKY
As the eye Of winsome day
Then the earth was bare and bighted,
And the fields were brown and sere,
And you came with looks delighted.
Happiest thing Of all the year
Now the fields are pied with daisies
Woods with blossoms overrun
And you stand the ghost Of springtime.

But you chose the noblest mission.
Gave your cheer when earth was cold.

Why the Tiles Were Large.

The houses of ancient Rome, previous
to the war of Pyrrhus, were covered
with boards but afterward with tiles;
and, according to Vitruvius, and from
what remains of ancient monuments,
these must have been of large size, not
less than two feet broad. Seneca speaks
of a garnet covered with one single tile.
In the war against Marc Antony, the
Senators were taxed at the rate OF ten
asses (about twenty-five cents for every
tile on the roof; hence it was, of course,
desirable to have tiles of as large dimen-
sions as possible, thus reducing the
amount of the taxes.-N. Y. Ledger.

regular mass of rocks, some 200 feet high,

striking manner. The citadel is sur
rounded by FIVE depressions 300 or 400
feet deep, of which one appears like an
amphitheatre, a second a metropolis,
third parade and the fourth regularly
laid out city quarter, with public monu-
rnents, gates, straight streets and inter-
sections suggesting at once such places
as Pompeii, Carnac and Persepols. The
whole "city," covering an extent of some
200 acres, is surrounded by a natural
wall 300 to 400 feet high. It is most

RINGS FOR BABlEs
Objections Raised by Physicians to the
Dainty little Orn ments

Objections Raised by Physicians to the
Dainty Little Orn ments
Baby lewelry is largely limited to bib
pins. The infantile ring is not sue
cess, although fond mothers struggle to
make Unpopular. A cougle of years ago
the fashion was started of putting SOL
itaire on the middle finger of every first
born, and for awhile the demand wasex-
cessive. Orders came from all parts for
the tiny jewels, and those intended for
the exclusive trade of New York were
boxed in dainty cases and presented to
the scions of fashion at the christening.
1t soon became evident that the rings
were proving a troublesome ornament
for not only did the diminutive patri-
clans object to the decoration, but spe-
cial attendants were needed to keep
them from being swallowed.
For the first six months the average
baby ignores the gold ring, but almost
as soon as the shining band attracts his
attention the streak of viciousness be-
comes apparent Mr.. Baby proceeds to
gouge his eyes out and tear strips of
pink and white skin from his velvetv
cheek with the edge that seems the
sharpest. The fat or r. bbon band is es-
pecially adapted for this purpose and for
blowing up the soft flesh about his chin
or abbreviating the corners of his nose
there is nothing in the toilet basket
better adapted than twisted Venetian
gold ring. All stone rings are good for
gouging purposes, and during the teeth
ing period most Of the gems are swal-
lowed. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference how we'll the ruby or
turquoise may be set, if baby takes a
notion to bite and the nurse is remiss.
the stone will come out and be gulped
down in a jiffy. Repeated accidents,
some of them fatal, reported to the jew
elers selling the rings, have had the
effect of reducing the manufacture of
cluster and solitaire designs. One of
the largest firms in Broadway refused to
carry any children's jeweIry set with
stones, for the reason, the manager said,
that we can not afford to sell cheap de-
signs and the trade will not pay for the
best" He added laying aside a tray of
tiny rings set with clusters of diamond
clippings, 81 never would permit
young child of mine to wear ieweled
ornaments until he was old enough to
appreciate their value"
An old West Side specialist of chill
dren's diseases, whose book of baby
patients contains as many namQ as the
public records of small town, consid-
ers the baby ring an idiotic species of
woman's vanity.
81 am opposed to them and always
have been, for the reason that they
shackle the child. If the mother tends
to the infant there is no danger to be
apprehended, but it is not safe to leave
baby and gold ring alone with a
nurse girl.
I'm convulsion have seen children
bruise and tear themselves with ring,
and also know that ornaments of this
sort often worry and distress the little
ones. They may do no harm, but they
can do no good, and for that reason off
with the f1nger-ring and away with the
bib and shoulder pin until the nursing
child is old enough to enter a complaint
against the cruelty and discomfort of
maternal vanity'-N. Y World.

Romance In Everyday Life.

Our everyday life is not altogether
the same hard and grinding wheel
turning and routine existence which it
seems to US at times. On all sides of US,
in every nook and corner of this great,
big world of ours, are growing little
flowers Of romance, blossoming so quiet
ly that we do not even smell their
fragrance or know that they are there.
But think it is we'll that we should
know that there is an element of
romance in our everyday life; for what
takes US more completely out of our
selves and lifts US higher into realms
into which an occasional fight will do
US no harm than just these little evil
dences that our life after all is not so
cold, hard, and practical as in gloomy
moments we are apt to believe? How
tired we all sometimes become if we let
our feelings control us! We allow our
selves to believe that the world means
nothing but work, work, work; that
what is around u.s. above US, below
US, is naught but labor and worry
But, you see, it is not so; life is not so
prosaic as you think; and if we will but
lool for it we shall find blooming in
LIES garden the flowers of romance side
by side with the beautiful blossoms of
hope, cheer and happiness
