mately with public affairs 1t will be soon
enough for him to do that when he is King.
The other members of the royal family un-
derStand their cue in this respect. They
wisely pocket all the money and enjoy all
the territorial perquisitos coming to them,
and leave the hosts Of politicians and as
piTaEts 10 Office to fight their own battles in
their own fashion.
The retailer of court gossip has always
had fertile field for his Imagination in de-
scribing the relationship that existed be-
tween the Queen and her favorite ghillie,
John Brown. That her Majesty had a high
regard for her faithful servant is unqueS-
tOnable. He was present with her on most
public occasions, even at the opening OF
Parliament There are monuments to many
servants at Bamoral and Craithie, and if
judged by his monument no person stood so
high in the Queens estimation as John
Brown. The epItaph is in very tender Ian
guage. II the stories IN circulation about
the departed ghillie are III any degree cor
rect he must have acted at times with the
full familiarity of the old Scotch servants
described by Dean Ramsay, who identified
themselves with their masters or mlStresses,
and were always ready with lecture or
mOnltiOn on the prophecies. Such servants
never dreamed OF chaaging from one service
to another. GuU of the rOmances about
John Brown, usually told as II 1t were
undeniabe fact, is that he was accustomed
TO regulate her Majesty'S rotations. Her
Majesty. before retiring for tie night, IS
said 10 have had taste for gin as a vlviter
or sedative, and when John thought the
proper moment had arrived he would reach
out over her shoulder and take away her
glass with The remark, moo, yer Majesty,
ye'Ve just had eneuchV People who
believe that story are peculiarly we'll
constituted to adopt the pineal gland
theory OF salvation. But there is one
good story Of John Brown true. He was
with the Queen some where in the High
lands as attendant at picnic. A number
of journalists were at a respectful distance
absorbing inspiration for their correspond
ence through a telescope-a rude proceed
ing which aroused the wrath Of John Brown.
Presently he broke in upon the circle Of
scribeS and berated them on the iHprO-
priety of their vulgar espionage. Some OF
the journalists retOrted sauci!y. and losing
his temper tile Queens fayorite demanded;
Do you know who. | amp" Yes" was
the reply. You are a funkeyw Some
uufOTgetable Doric followed. BRUSH.

Progress is being made with the boule-
ward, which Is TO stretch from the Cliff
House along the ocean beach to the county
boundary, but some time must elapSe before
II is a consolidated roadway fit for hard
driving. Care is being taken to plant tufts
Of bent grass on the sand beneath, and in
time the embankment will have ample pro-
lection against the trade winds and the sand
will not be dislodged. A few years hence
most of the sandhils to the south, as far as
the Laguna de la MERGED. and possibly be-
yond, will have been built upon, and San
Francisco Will be then very great city.
There ought TO be room then for more FAM
lily homes and fewer bOaTding-hOuses. The
situations commanding a view of the ocean
beach almost OutTival those on the hills
which overlook the city and the bay, for in
the latter case there is much more than the
lovely or sublime taken in at single
glance. The ocean beach will never
be suitable for bathing On the
calmest day there is too much surf; on a
breezy day the swimmer must be fearless
who would venture out beyond the c0mbng
breakers. Waves twelve feet in height are
too impressive for the ordinary batheT, who
is satisfied with brief immersion without
serious exeTtion. This rough character Of
the ocean beach waves etf1ctually disSipates
any dream of such seaside scenes occur
ring here as give a special charm to the
beach at Ostend or Scheyenlngen, where
thousands of gayly dressed people are in
movement, or are costly escOnced in pro-
tected chairs and vivaciously chatting in
groups. Children at play form an impor-
tant element in this holiday life at the sea-
side.

movement is on foot in the East to Sc
cure for the American Museum of Natural
History, New York, the magnificent enlO-
biological collection left by the late Henry
Edwards. For the sake of Mrs. Edwards,
who is not too well endowed with this
worlds goods, it may be hoped that su1i-
Client funds will be raised to attain the
object. but it would be very much better if
the money were subscribed in San Fran
cisco and the collection presented to the
Academy of Sciences, the empty cases in
which sadly stand in need of something to
make them interesting. The sum asked is
S15,000-really a trumpery bagatelle when
paid in exchange for the carefully classified
results of a whole life's scientific pursuits.
1t is probably the largest chronological
collection in private hands, at least in this
country, and it would be a reflection
upon the public spirit supposed To be resi-
Dental in the public breast were IT either dis
peTsed or acquired abroad. There are over
100000 specimens, all arranged with eX-
Quisite care, and 456 of these were actually
first described by Mr. Edwards A large
proportion was obtained on the Pacific
Coast but twelve years passed in the East
must have made the collection very cOmpre-
hensive and rich in all American insects.
By the system Of exchanges, also, the
whole world mad been laid under c0ntribu-
ton. Toward the purchase money one
third has been promised. and it will be very
strange if the remainder Is not soon forth
coming. There is time for Cal fornians TO
act If they are so inclined. 1t is more than
likely, however, they viii take no action if
the subscriptions are only to benefit New
York.

At present there is really no bathing place
for San Franciscans which has not some
faults of situation and surroundings. One
of the best bathing situations In San Fran
cisco is long strip OF sandy beach within
the Preside reservation, east Of Fort Point
Here the bathng-machne could be put in
operation without risk from waves or con-
tamnaton from nuisances, and an ap-
proach could easily be constructed over and
down the hill. But ii Is Government prop
erty, ana perhaps the Government would
put its foot down on any proposal to
utilize this beach. The masonry ponds
which are being constructed at the Cliff
House will ultimately give San Franciscaus
about as bracing and as pure bath as they
can obtain, but they will have TO pay for it,
That, however, is a mere tTiHe in city
which still has the tiye-cent piece the coin
lowest in denomination, and therefore
lightly regarded by children as Of no value.
These pond bathing places are an imitation
of the bathing-pOOls of Guernsey, one Of
the Channel islands. There the sea occa-
sionally sweeps away thick mass of ma
sOnry, and perhaps during storms similar
mishaps will occur at the Cliff House.
How comes it that Edmund Yates

which so continuously agitate the upper
suckles" Of arlstocratic countries? Does he

Royal Highness on DeeSide? Is his nforma-
ton derived direct from the chief exalted
persons concerned, or does it filter down to

tiOnable aud untrustworthy shape of club
gossip 1t Is so easy to write in a vera
ciOus manner about the royal family of
England. Provided the statements are not

whatever is taken Of anything published
for the entertainment of the null
titude. Iattlers give no annoy

Her Majesty is said to ignore all public
journals except the Times and Punch, and
these she can only take time to scan, for
she Is very busy woman, and each day

~ practical manner. The Prince of Wales
is broader in his newspaper reading, but ne
has more time at his disposal, and at all
events has no positive official functions to
discharge. Much ill-natured twaddle circu-
lateS about the Prince, but people make a
huge mistake If they suppose this VenO-
nous suffering has any widespread APP
probation. Ii he is only master
of ceremonies going about the country lay

No, II MI Edwards collection of insects
is to find a permanent tOmb in California
for TIE elevation of the masses in the
knowledge Of nature the money will have
TO be gathered In the hat, and not in OSten-
tatiOus simplicity by a single check. Ii is
said that application was made to a lady Of
enormous wealth, to whom such q fea-bte
as is wanted is of no more consequence than
a 5-cent piece. The reply was frgid re-
fusal There might have been a touch of
hum0r thrown into the studiOusiy stiff
phraseulogy, such as that 10 her mind there
ale insects enough in California, but there
wasn't The Academy of Sciences has
doubtless no funds TO devote 10 this purpose.
A tOeraby large slice of James Lick
benefcpnCe has gone in the erection of a
CyclOpean building, and the funds in the
treasury must be handled with care. But
as a museum ought to be much more than
a building, however handsome, there is room
for the well-wisheTs of science to bestir
themselves and give proof Of their devotion.
Ii is true the academy may look forward TO
a time when DR., Behr'S splendid collection
of insects will be displayed in eases, but
even that would be enriched by the addition
of the Edwards collection. In the Olden
time, when the academy was miserably
poor and was Knocked by the soothing, Mr..
Edwards was a frequent contributor of
papers, and they were always characterize
by great earnestness Of the scientific spirit
which takes up a subject for its own sake.
They were in contrast with the whimsical
oddities and rsble distractions brought
forward with imperturbable gravity by
Judge Hastings, who did not even cover
under the benign smile Of Professor David
sou,
