Is Soda
Worth Fussing About?

Fussing with it means taking
pains, having everything exactly
right. If one begins, there's no
end to the fussing involved.
Maskey's in San Francisco is a
famous place for good Soda. We
visited Maskey's while there and
resolved to have equally as good
Soda at our new fountain. If we
may judge from the swarm of peo-
pie coming in for it every day, we
have succeeded even beyond our
expectations.
From our inception we have not
skimped our soda. We introduced
pure fruit juice favors and have
served nothing else.
When the strawberry season
opened we procured fresh berries
and have dispensed them ever
since. This was a new feature.
1t makes a, most delicious drink,
and the people like good Soda. We
procure pine-apples when in season.
This lucious fruit has fine aroma
and you get this in the soda. You
are a judge of good soda, try it.
We have added Ice Cream. We
made it in a tiny freezer at first.
We thought most people didn't
care for Ice Cream, but we were
mistaken. We have increased the
size of our freezer three times and
our present one is a sumner. But
we have to send out on the warm
est days and buy an extra supply.
Ice Cream Soda made and served
exactly right can be sold at 10
cents. That's all we ask you fol
it. You can have all the Vichy
you can drink for 5 cents. This is
a plain drink, but popular with
many.
We did not intend to manufac-
ture our own Soda Water but were
convinced of the necessity in short
time. Having purchased Soda
generator, Jas. w. Turf patent, we
now make our own aerated water
This is an improvement as we use
pure bicarbonate of soda and no.
marble dust as is commonly EN-
ployed in making Soda Water.
Do you take your Soda where
you happen to be, or keep your
thirst for the place you are sure of
This is the place to be sure of.

THE MONTSERRAT.

A Vessel That Played an I'M
pOrfant Part in the Chilean
War.
Capt. D. o. Blackburn of the
Montserrat is on his first visit to
this port although he has been
going to sea all his life.
He was for great many years
captain of the steamer Walla
Walla running out of San Fran
cisco. He now owns two-thirds of
the vessel under his command.
The Montserrat is the vessel that
left San Francisco during the last
Chilean war made against Balma-
ceda loaded down with provisions
for the relief of the insurgents.
The vessels errand was not known
until after she left San Francisco
and then terrible howl was made
by the government and news
papers. An attempt was made to
re-capture the vessel but it was
unsuccessful.

Rich Moments Idle Hours.

Chow do wealthy women spend their
idle hours?' was question propounded
to me by young friend few days ago.
do you think they really have an idle
timer said in reply.
''Oh, yes" my questioner replied, 81
am sure they have"
1 remembered the query some days
after, and having occasion to call upon
some wealthy women of the exclusive
set, I inquired as to their idle hour in
dulgences. One woman informed me
that she made all her own underwear,
which upon seeing l found showed evil
dence of an accomplished needle; another
lady said she painted; another was inter
ested in school matters and dabbled in
literature, and before l got through |
came to the conclusion that wealthy
women were as industrious, considering
the many social calls upon them, as the
working women.-Philadelphia Press,

A Remarkable "Woman's Bank's Recalled
The notorious "Woman's bank" one
of the most curious cases of swindling
ever known i'll Boston, is recalled by the
death of Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, the pro-
jector and manager of the scheme. 1t
will be remembered that the plan of
Mrs. Howe's 'bank" was to receive de-
posits from women only-not less than
5000 nor over 81 ,000-on which interest
at z per cent monthly was to be paid.
Indeed, interest for the first two months
was returned in advance to the "cus-
toner" on making a deposit. 1t was
represented to be work of charity, the
impossible rate of interest being &C
counted for by reference to a mysterious
Quaker fund.-" administered by Mrs.
Howe for the benefit of needy women.
Strange as it may appear, it was not
only the ignorant who were deceived by
this transparent nonsense, but persons
of education and experience the coun-
try over. Among the believers and de-
tenders of Mrs. Howe was Miss Dodge,
the Gail Hamilton of literature; and
there were others of equal shrewdness
who swallowed the tale of CHARITY"
Mrs. Howe might have gone ON to this
day taking in the money of the credu-
lous to pay out as interest to others
equally credulous had not the news
papers pushed an investigation and made
good story about it.
Then the collapse came, and Mrs
Howe was sent to prison. She died, it is
said, in want.-Boston Commonwealth.

OYSTERS AND SEEDS

OYSTERS AMI SEEDS
Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell a worth

a seed must be determined by its growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability OF
the firm from which you buy.

WHY EngIishwomen Scholars Succeed.

Why EngIishwOmen Scholars succeed
Englishwomen are showing marked
superiority over American women Ill the
college career. They are taking pr1zes
and attaining marked intellectual dis
tinction, not because their scholastic
advantages are greater nor because OF
superior intellectual gifts, but because
of better physique, more normal nervous
systems, and consequently greater power
of endurance.
These contrasts emphasize the propo-
sition which l maintain, namely, that
the first, the greatest physical need for
women is training to rest; not rest In
the sense of doing nothing, not repose
in the sense of inanity or inactivity, but
a restful activity of mind and body,
which means a vigorous, wholesome
nervous system that will enable wom-
an to abandon herself to her study, her
work and her play with freedom and
case which are too fast becoming, not
lost art, but lost nature. We have
Jumped at the conclusion that the style
of training which is admirably suited
to men must be equally adapted to
women. However that may be in the
future, there is prior necessity with
women After their greatest physical
need is supplied they may-will, prob
ably-reach the place where their power
will be increased through vigorous exer-
else.
1t is evident that the gymnasiums and
various exercises established in schools
and colleges for women have done little
or nothing toward supplying this great
est need. The girls are always defeat
ing the end of the exercise, first, by en-
tering into every motion of the exercise
itself with too much nervous strain;
second, by following in their manner of
study, in their general attitude of mind
and habit of body, ways that must eff
fectually tell against the physical power
which might be developed by the exer-
else. - Annie P. Call in Atlantic
Monthly.

University Education for EnglishwOmen.
Women students ambitious Of finish
ing at Oxford will be surprised to know
that Somerville hall, the Oxford annex,
is not a college at all, but simply halls
or homes where girls DESTROYS Of Oxford
privileges live in the protection of an
academical house. The association for
promoting the education of women at
Oxford engages lecturers to give special
instruction to the students and obtains
admission for them to the university
lectures. These lectures are not given
at the hall according to the custom at
Barnard college, New York, and Newn-
ham and Girton, of Cambridge, Eng
land, but the girls go to the university
accompanied by member of the associ-
alton and listen to the same lectures as
their brothers.
So accustomed have the men become to
these fair invaders that they scarcely
look up when they enter the room. Six
hours work a day including the lectures
is recommended by one of the princi-
pals as sufficient, as every hour after
that counts for loss and not for gain, in
her opinion. The girl that is not clever
enough to get on with that is not apt to
distinguish herself if she works nine
hours day.
sit is one of the great misfortunes of
the age that hardly any one is able to
see that no amount of rubbing will make

She also advises girls not to come to the
university too young, because woman's
brain is stronger than girls, and ''the
woman knows when and where to rest
as well as when and where to expend
herself. London Letter.
