Last week John Olsen and Hans Ham
sen discovered u whale floating around in
the harbor, and after rowing around it
several times to make sure that it was
dead they tackled on to it and anchored
it in shoal water. AS it lays on its back
it measures about 80 feet long, IA feet
high and s feet through. They procured
the little sloop, Plunger, and today came
in with about $500 worth Of whale-bonc
and 250o pounds Of blubber, from which
they will render out good many gallons
of oil, worth 50 cents per gallon. The
whale had evidently been shot by some
whaler, as its head was badly shattered.

MAGAZINE NOTES.

The Century for December is en-
bellished with Christmas cover, and
abounds in holiday features.
In keeping with the religious spirit of
the season are the engravings, by Cole, of
Rembrandt's "Supper at Emmaus, -
one OF the entire picture, and the other Of
the figure OF Christ alone. a Christmas
sermon by Phillips Brooks, not before
published, is given entire. An engraving
OF "The Advent Angel" by Ella Condie
Lamb, forms one of The Century's Ameri-
can Artist series. A poem by Alice Archer
Sewall, entitled "While Mary Slept" is
illustrated with two full-page drawings
by Frank Vincent Du Mond. "Chiist-
mas at the Children's Hospital" after a
drawing by J Carroll Lucas, represents
the prize picture in a competition insti-
tuted by the Century for the Baltimore
Charcoal Club. "The Baby's Christmas"
a story by Joel Chandler Harris, and such
subjects as ''Chrstmas and Modern Ritu-
alism," "a Christmas Thought" and
"Amercan Militarism," a plea for peace
and arbitration, py Edward Berwick,
emphasized this aspect OF the number,
which concludes with "IIolly Song" by
Clinton Sciollard, decorated by Harry
Fem.
A notable contribution to this number
is the first part OF Mark Twain's new
dramatic novel, "Pudd'nhead Wilson, :"
which is to run in The Century for six or
seven months. The author is once
more in his familiar ground the Miss
issppi river region and among charac-
tiers known to his boyhood. The novel
starts with q secret, to which the reader
is admitted, and promises to set forth
graphic scenes from the old slave regime,
clustered about an ingenious plot. The

Very Strange.

The Somervile Journal has story Of
little Dorothy, six years DID, who, like all
other children, is II born egotist She
had her new purse with her and was very
DESTROYS to pay her own fare, but her
aunt said no.
"You are my guest" she explained to
Dorothy, "and so | must pay youi fare !;
but you may take the ten cents and hand
it to the conductor, if you like"
SO Dorothy took the dime, and when
the conductor came along she handed it
to him in the most dignifed style. He
gave her Il quick look, and estimating
that she was under the fve-year limit, he
rang in only one fare, and handed back
a ive-cent piece, which Dorothy took
without a word.
WASN'T it stranger" she asked, after
she got home. ''The conductor took my
fare, but he didn't charge Aunt Alice any
fare at all."

too we'll" Indeed all of her biographers
testify to her brilliant conversation. Tissot
tells of her "sonorous, flexible voice, inf
mite charm in talking, eloquence which
comes from heart" As the tradition in
the family of Nine. Roland goes, she
was short and stout, possessed no taste in
dress, and could be called neither beauti
full, nor even pretty. However, yivacity,
sympathy and intelligence were so COM
bined in her face, and her voice was so
mellow and vibrating that she exercised a
veritable charm when she talked. She
herself considered her chief attraction to
be her conversational power. In one OF
the frequent passages Of amusing self-com-
placency in her "Memoirs' she repeates
a remark of Camille Desmoulins, that he
could not understand how woman OF
her age and with so little beauty had SO
many admirers, and she comments ole

A High Tide Coming.

Prof. Fred. G. Plummer, of Tacoma,
predicts there will be earthquakes and
unusually high tides ON Puget sound and
this coast December 90, owing to COM
bination OF a greater number OF condi-
tons favorable thereto. There are five Of
these conditions, all of which will not
again arise at the same time for 1856
years, says the professor. The conditions
are: The earth is at the point nearest
the sun; the moon is at the point nearest
the earth; the sun and moon are in op-
position, that is the moon is pulling the
earth in one direction and the sun the
water in the other; the moon is far north
in its relation to the earth; and the pre-
vailing winds. 1t will be we'll about that
time to take stock from the tide.lands,
and see that all floating property is made
fast.

THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION.

Five rainy days out Of seven has been
the weather record of the past week in
San Francisco, but it has made little or
no difference in the progress OF work on
the buildings Of the California Mdwinter
international Exposition. In the Me-
chanical Arts Building, where the roof
was all in place, the work OF interior
decoration was pushed forward without
the slightest hindrance, and under the
half-iinishcd roof of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts Building great deal of in
terror work was done at times when it
rained too hard to proceed with the con-
struction of tie roof itself. In the Horti-
cultural and Agricultural Building and in
the Art Building the rain has caused
practically no delay whatever and the
carpenters on the Administration Build
ing have made just as much architectural
hay as if the sun had been shining all
the while. AS far as the confessional work
is concerned, there has been no time lost
at all, and it would have to rain pitch
forks and saw logs, literally, to keep
these people from pushing forward with
their plans, for, if they are not in readi-
ness when the Exposition opens on jan
uary first, they will be just SO much out
of pocket, for it is the clink OF the coin
that they are looking forward TO, and
the Exposition management is in no
greater hurry to get this part of the COM
ing show in readiness than the conces
sionarics themselves must he.
Later relays OF the queer people who
danced on the Midway Plasancc in
Chicago and who were in different ways
connected with the Columbian EXPOSE
ton, are continually coming to town; the
hotels are filling up; boarding house
keepers are clothed in expansive smiles,
the tradespeople all over town are be-
ginning to feel the effects OF the coming
Exposition, and the Exposition fund is
feeling a corresponding effect as the
tradcspcoplc awake to the fact that the
bigger the Exposition is the bigger will be
their trade, during the period OF its dura-
ton.
In order to get ahead with the allot-
mcnt of space in the different buildings,
the Exposition management has found it
necessary to fix an absolute limit for the
reception of applications for space. That
date has been fixed at December |, so
that the lid of the box, so to speak, may
now be said to be shut. Enough applica-
tons have been received to fill all the
buildings comfortably. Some OF them
will be tull to overlooking, but readiust-
ment OF the classification may possibly
he rosorted to, so that there will not be a
great deal OF crowding.
There seems to have been a little mis-
understanding among exhibitors on the
Pacific coast in regard to the transporta-
tion of their exhibits to the Exposition,

exhibits to and from the Fair will cost
nothing at all. The regulation made by
the Southern Pacific Company is that
shipments originating at stations on the
Southern Pacific system west of and in
Guiding Portland, Ogden, FL Paso, Dem
ing, Benson and Mojave, for exhibitors at
the Fair, shall be way-billed to San Fran
cisco at regular rates consigned to the Ex-
position, in care of the exhibitor, and the
charges prepaid, and that after the Fair
is over, by presenting certificate from
the officers of the Fair that the property
has been on exhibition and has not
changed hands, the first payment Of
freight to San Francisco will be refunded
and his property will be returned to his
home station free OF charge.
In the same connection, and in re-
Spouse to numerous communications on
the subject, the public is respectfully in
formed that the Southern Pacific Com
pany has arranged for three classes of
tickets in connection with the Exposition,
the rates of which are as follows:
Class A-1lalf fare, or one-way rate for
round trip with $3.50 added, from all
stations located over 800 miles from San
Francisco.
Class Bone and one-ffth fare for
round trip with ~ added, from all stations
located over $50 miles, and not to exceed
800 miles, from San Francisco.
Glass Cone and one-fifth fare for
round trip with $3.50 added, from all
stations located within $50 miles from
San Francisco.
The minimum special rate will be 81.
Entrance ticket coupons to the Fair
grounds will be sold with the railroad
special tickets, as follows: For class A,
five gate coupons; for class b. four gate
coupons; for class G, three gate coupons.
The Southern Pacific Company has re-
Gently conceded a fifteen days stop-over
privilege on tickets from the east, go that
visitors to California will have a little
time to spend in other parts OF the state
than in the immediate vicinity OF San
Francisco. Other railways are doing
their share in the matter of transporta-
ton. A $65 round trip rate has already
been established west OF the Missouri
river, and the chance is good for Il 500
rate from New York and return, while
the big cut already made by the Canadian
Pacific may result in better rate all
around.
An arrangement has been made during
the past week by Director General De
Young with the firm who are manufacture
ing the bronze group Of statuary which
the late James Lick provided in his will
should be erected in front of the rev city
hall, that the heroic figure of California,
which is to surmount this group, shall be
placed in the central space under the
vaulted roof Of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts Building. This figure stands
eighteen feet in height and will rest upon
a pedestal SO that it will tower above
everything else in that part OF the Expo
sition. The figure represents Eureka,
standing erect with spear in her hand
and a shield by her side, while at her feet
is grizzley bear, typical OF California.

by which they were instantly put out
with fiz and sputter Lamps had to
be procured before the meeting could
come to order, and the light was SO far
inferior to the usual brilliant light OF the
hall that it was a great annoyance to the
several actors on the program. The sub
ject of the evening was Walter Scott.
Miss Jessie Haynes read Il biographical
sketch; Mr.. Van Tassel made short adj

elevating the standard of poetry and tic-
ton; Miss Mabel McKinlay gave fine
recitation; Percy McKinlay read selec-
ton from SCOTS poems; Miss Lucille

organ by Miss Jessie Haynes; and an
other poem was read by the president.
Mr.. l.. /. Stiles having been appointed
critic made few slight criticisms which
were kindly received after which an offer
was extended to the audience to answer
questions on literary matters, but none
had been prepared so this feature OF the
