elegant and expensive [ ever beheld in
point OF designing and outlay for statuary,
Whlch you meet at every nook, corner
or turn OF this pathway. The score
oil hfe-sized ones around the terrace are
very tine. only regretted that they would
not all come within the picture. We see
THE LITTLE LIVE BEAR
which pleases the boys greatly. and make
a picture of the girl feeding him From
mere we take the steam car homeward, pay
cents, get transfer to the horse car, get
another to the cable car, and ride down to
the 1erry-nearly ten miles of ride for >
cents That night l go to hear Patti sing
Martha" and have to stand up and wish
had neck like Annie Laurie so / coulo
raise my head above the crowd, and see the
people IN the theatre as well as those on
the stage. There were lots of stylish
people IN the boxes, and there were bare
arms and necks, artistic coiffures, dia-
monds, beautiful clothes, shawls, ETC., to
make an artist weep for JOY.
When Patti sang the Last Rose of Sum
rer'' applauded very loudly and she
kindly seut me word that if l would go
lump on myself she would sing ''Home,
Sweet Home" playing an accompaniment
on two harmonious and drum at the same
time, or | could get ham sandwich at the
bar as went out in exchange for my ticket
dld. There were several carriages, hacks,
etc., on the street. and a number of people
on the sidewalk when the show let out. A
man evidently mistaking me for million
alre. came very near taking me home in his
carriage. 1t was only by strenuous effort
that was prevented having greatness and
a smuggling match thrust upon me. The case
OF beer and gingersnaps | sent around to
Miss Patti | afterwards discovered had
I merely
GONE INTO THE sUPE,
and had to go around and help the gas
man pack him away to sleep it off in the
tomb of j. Caesar, which was the only
thing we could find with any hay in it.
The door of the hotel was locked when 1
got home, and | came very near breaking
the kitchen clock and a chef d'Ouure of the
potter's art which the cook had carelessly
left setting on the window sill, as got in.
My voice has been a total wreck since the
COOK told me the name of it, but was used
to those large, irregular names, and seemed
to thrive on them. 1t looked to me like a
: little earthen teapot, but then l was born
in different language. l have been eat
ing my food in several tongues during The
past month. 1t came high, but l had to
have it. Pork and beans' was about the
only thing that always came out in good
old queens English.
4 Next day is spent in visiting several
places, among which were Taber's, Todd's,
Houseworth's and the Elite photograph
galleries. They all make very fine portraits,
but given the same subjects our own Ralph
Savage or Guv. Salisbury would make
4 just as good pictures, and for less money
In regard to prices of nearly everything /
find them higher than the same would be
in Salt Lake.
Next day we visit Sutro's museum and
library, where may be seen collection OF
the most ancient books. periodicals, parch-
ments, papyrii, clothing, statuary, idols
mummies, vases, urns, etc, to be found in
the country.
VERY FINE MUMMY
from the Nile had just been opened and the
inscriptions were being copied to send to
various professors of hieroglyphics The
body was enclosed in three separate collins
each fitting closely within the other, and
each possessing separate carved lid, and
each beautiful, that is, suppose they who
: painted it considered it beautiful. The
paint, although several thousand years old
is wonderfully well preserved; in fact
, seems as though recently done. /
Judge that the collins and wrappings of the
: body would cost to-day very nearly five
, hundred dollars. The curator of the mu
scum expects to prove this body to be some
illustrious character of history.
From here we visit Crocker's immense
5 printing establishment, where | see litho
4 graphic engraving, transferring and print
9 ing copperplate engraving and printing
= the latter very tedious process, and regu
lar type printing. They employ large
? force of hands, and all seemed extremel,
l busy.
