CALL PORTRAIT GALLERY.
Short Sketches Of Six Well Known Young
Society Ladies.
The Misses Ethel MarteI, Mauds Badlsm,
Vina Rector, Eva Carolan, Anna Head,
Kuhne Bsveridge.

1t would seem there is no end to the num-
Der of pretty girls in San Francisco, were
one to judge from the goOdly array of
pictures that are appearing from time to
time in the Portrait Gallery of THE CALL.
The beauty of California girls is as wide
IL celebrated as the fruit. grain and
other productions of our wonderful State.
1t is also a weil-known fact that our girls
are as bright and as well educated as those
of much older countries. The fair CaifOr-
man is also noted for her dainty and ex-
quisite taste in eoStuming herself, even in
the most prominent fashion centers of Eu-
rope. With so many graees combined it is
no wonder then that titled lords from across
the ocean come and steal away the greatest
attraction the Pacific Coast has to
offer. The only wonder is that our own
brave knights do not come forward and
secure such prizes themselves. 1t is safe
to say that the array Of young ladies' por-
traits shown to-day is equal to any that
have heretofore been presented. Among
the nun Der is that of

Of bananas last Saturday. No one knew Of
his arrival until he made his way out of a
bunch of bananas IN Vessels stores to the
CONSERVATION of the bystandeTs, who scat
tered in all directions. Fruit Inspector
Fuller of the Board of health, VINO was
present, and Salesman Seeiey inyeigled
"SpOtty" into a bag, from which he was
transferred TO a large box. He immedi-
ately assumed the peculiar crnkly attitude
portrayed in the picture and declined TO
stir, although while on the floor a short
time before he had exhibited the most per-
nieiOus activity.
A crowd sOOn gathered. In it was the
captain Of the steamshipOn which ''Spotty"
had made his first and probably last sea
voyage. The captain said ''SDotty' was a
chupaduTa viper. the most deadly Of the
Honduras snakes. de said he didn't mind
carrying about little things like tarantulas
and eentipedes in his ship, but when it came
TO transporting 4-fOOt vpeTs the life was
getting too eXaeting. and he proposed TO quit
the business before he landed some day
with a cargo Of boa constructors disguised
as bananas. While the captain was speak
ing a red Honduras rat slid out from an
other banana bunch aud sided across the
floor. He was captured and put ia the box
with "Spotty."
Then Mr.. Seely incautiously moved the
box near the FIRE. ''Spotty" got warmed up.
shook himself, ana made one pass at the
rat, landing on his neck. There were few
wild squeaks, c0nvuisiYe motion, and the
rat was dead. They took ''Spotty" away
from tie fire, and he siiffened ont again.
The rat is to be picked in alcohol and set
on the shelf along with a number OF tar
antUIas aBdlsome small snakes which have
emerged from the banana punches.
A sun reporter went to q gentleman con-
necied with the Museum of Natural History,
who is an expert on snakes, and described
"Spotty" 10 him with view 10 finding out
TO what species he belonged. The gentle
man looked snspieiously at the reporter and
said something about tie Kelley gold cure.
On being assured that this snake was real
he said that itwould be impossible to deciie
what ii was without seeing it, but that il
was probably rare species of adder Pro-
lessor SOEthwiek OF the Central Park
menagere would not give any decided
opinion on the subject, but thought from
the description that ''Spotty" might be one
of the Cr0taliG9, TO which family tile rattle
snake belongs. He said the description Of
the spots tailed with those of the diamond
back adder, but that the serpent was not
found so far south as Honduras. The pro-
fess0r was eager TO see 'Sp0tty" added to
the Central Park menagerie. He said that
the snake was undoubtedly venomOus and
that many Of the Central American serpents
are deadly

With OUR GRANDMOTHERS.
Written for THE MORNING CALL.

Grandmother Bennett had come from
Augusta. Me-. to spend the winter in Cali
fornia. She was hardly settled in the
pleasant front room upstairs, had not, in
fact, really had time to make up her mind
what particular phases of California life
most merited her disapproval, when Aunt
Mary wrote US from Boston that Grand
mother Best had had another attack of Ia
grippe and the doctor said he would not
answer for the consequences il she spent
another winter in the East Aunt Mary
wrote that if it would be convenient for us
that would be a capital time for grand
mother to make that long-pr0mised visit 10
Charles and the girls. She and Grandmother
Bennett would be company for each other
and could come home together in the spring,
or course 1t was convenient. Charles
was Grandmother Best's faYorite grandson,
and she had long planned the trip to his
California home, but something came up
every fall to DELAY the journey, and it had
been deferred for several years. There
was the pleasant. sunny room over the
library, with its open fireplace, where she
could be very comfortable, and Kate the
elder and myself were quite pleased at the
prospect OF having the two grandmothers
with us for the winter. | thought Charles
seemed little anxious at first. but after
little he entered into our discussions with
so much interest that dismissed the idea
as having been a mere fancy of my own.
Well, telegram was dispatched across
the continent, and in less than fortnight
Grandmother Best was with us, prepared
for a winter such as she had been aceus-
toned TO in the East.

Very few Young ladies are better known
in society than Miss Maude. who is the only
daughter Of a popular pioneer, Mr.. Alex
ander Badlam she is a tall and exceed
ingly graceful Young lady. rather on the
brunette type OF beauty, with very intel
ligent expression. Although Miss Badlam
has not yet made the European tour, she
has been quite a traveller in her own coun-
try, having taken in company with her
parents several trips to the East. Study
and books are OF great interest to her and
one of her favOrite modes of entertaining
her young friends is private theatrieals.
The Badlams have always taken particular
care to make home attractive 20 their
children, and for this purpose tie
top floor of the elegant residence on
the corner Of OFarrell and Franklin
streets was given up 10 them, where
amateur acting was at one time quite a
feature and furnished charming entertain
ment for the young people. Miss Badlam is
a coed musician and otherwise accomplished.
She is a lover of dancing and there are very
few who have not noticed her graceful car
rage in q ballroom.

According to the Boston Advertiser, Har-
ward College is undertaking the task Of
getting a complete collection Of flowers in
glass models. The secret of making these
models is known only TO two brothers
named Blaschka. in Dresden. and they are
under contract to work only for Harvard
during the next nine years. The younger
brother is now in Jamaica studying the
plants Of the island, aud in a few weeks be
will come to Cambridge as the guest of
Professor G0odale. AfterWard he will
travel west, making a collection of the typf-
cal American flowers. and win then return
to Germany TO begin the work Of reproGuc-
ing them Ia glass. The specimens already
received at the Agassiz museum are marvels
Of ingenuity.

Wisdom From n Child.
Liam Ahn rrrn.- u 49,

A story is told of a Harvard Professor
who entertained a number of advanced stu
dents at his parlors with learned disser-
tatiOn upon the expansion of heat and
contraction of cold He gave numerous
illustrations of an interesting and con-
yincing character, and his guests were evil
IDENTIFY greatly edited and pleased, while
he appeared in the best of moods with his
success. AS he took his seat his little
daughter. who was sitting in corner with
her dell, asked: Papa, If cold contracts,
why did the frozen water break my glass
last night?" The great scientist and the
clever students were alike dumfounded by
the question. No answer was attempted.
Which was the greater teacher-the college
professor or his little child?

How Tempestuous Sea Became SIN 9th
During Storm.
A terrific storm, driving before it huge
sea like a tidal wave. struck the British
steamship Dewsland, while bound from
Bilbao to Phiiadelphia, laden with Spanish
iron ore. The wind blew with great fury,
and an effort was made TO run the vessel be-
fore the wind, but without success.
Suddenly the waters subsidized almost as
quick as they had risen, when what ap-
peared to n black rack was seen some dis
tance away. As the vessel approached
closer it proved to he dead whale of inn
mense size. The carcass was at least six
feet above the surface of the water and coy
erd with countless birds of all sizes and
descriptions. A stream of sperm oil was
oozing out upon the sea in all directions
from the fatty dereliet. which all hands be-
lieye had the effect of quelling the heavy
sea. The efficacy of oil was first discovered
by whalers watching the effect upon the
sea near dead whales.
