ST. FRANCIS HoTEL-A. W, City.
The old 81. Francis Hotel was erected in
the fall of 1S49 on the southwest corner OF
Clay and Dupont streets. on the site on
which Jacob Primer Leese. in 1886, erected
the first frame building ever put up in
what was then Yerba Buena. and which
subsequently became the city of San
Francisco. In this original building was
celebrated ON the 4th of July, 1885, for the
first time in upper California, the ami
versary of the independence of the United
States. The ST. Francis was a building
composed of a number of small structures
raised and added 10, and was a compost
ton of architectural ideas never before
and never since Incorporated in plans for
first-class caravansary. 1t was first
class hotel in its day. for it was located in
what was then the heart of the city. On
the corner of Pike street, or what
is now known as Wayerly place,
and Clay street, was the Post
Office, the first one in San Francisco On
Pike street, between Clay and Washing

style was the equal of t finest of the

The policeman is busy-awfully busy.
He is threatening the runners with the

his threats some are beyond the line and
shouting at the top Of their lungs.
There is sound of tramriHg feet and
with rush the mob comes off the boat.

by his friends and hurried away; kisses
are exchanged and hand shaking is in

The cousins who have no one to meet
them fall victims to the runners and hack

Mingled yells, greetings. curses, kisses,
calls for carriages, orders of policemen,
cries of newsboys, jlngling of carbells, rat

Now, Uncle John, just how such gold

DEEPEST MINES IN THE WORLD

the effect that 'the deepest mine in the
world is probably one of the coal mines in
the Mons Basin. Belgium, known as the
Ste Henriette des Prodnits, which was re-
ported in 1891 to have struck rich vein at
depth If 41S6 feet-the honor of having
the deepest straight-drop shaft however, is
claimed for the abandoned Kettenberg
mine in Bohemia. which is said to have
reached 377S feet" is not correct state

deepest bore hole in any mine in the world

engineers at a diamond mine at Sehlade-

Ony, which took them six years to bnre
and reached depth of 5735 feet or 455
feet deeper than mile. This mine was
abandoned. According to La Nature the
deepest mine now working is that at Saint
Andre du Poirer. in France. There are
two shafts, one 5000 feet and the other $3.50
feet. Oiher authorities assert that the
deepest mlne is The r0ck-sat bore at Spen-

Of 4175 feet. This shaft is not, however,

Household Hints.

Test your blueing by adding some
washing soda to it in solution of water.
If it turns reddish it is Prussian blue,
and to be avoided because it is COM
pound of iron, which becomes decom-
posed by the use of soap and soda and
makes iron rust spots Pure indigo,
such as our grandmothers used, is
very rare, but there other good blue
ings in the market which are not so ex-
pensive.
To clean articles of paper-mache,
wash them with little lukewarm
water and soap and rub them vigorous
ly with sweet oil.
One of the best household remedies
for bruises, where the skin has not
been broken, is arnica and sweet oil
The silver moth is sometimes an in
tolerable nuisance. 1t may be got rid
of, however, by thorough cleaning
painting cracks in the room with lit
tie corrosive sublimate or common ben
zine. The creature is said to come from
dampness in the cellar or around the
building and is quite likely to be found
in buildings heated by steam, where
there is any moisture.
1t is great mistake to believe thai
all bacteria in water is killed by freez
ing, as was formerly believed; but pure
clear ice does not contain as much dan
ger as the thick, snowy ice.-N. Y

Sacred ISLAM d In the White Sea with q
Romantic Legend.


Romantic Legend.
Solovetslzi island is picturesque spot
in the White sea, about ten miles from
the mainland of the Archangel province
in the north of Russia. 1t is famous as
the site of an ancient monastery whose
customs are peculiar to the Greek
church and to that region of the frozen
zone. 1t is accessible only in the sum-
mer, which is of very short duration.
During the season, however, it is visited
by many thousands of people, who come
from all parts of the empire
In return for the miraculous cures
which are supposed to be made through
the agency of the two patron saints of
the institution immense sums of money
are paid annually to the archimandrite
by these pilgrims. 1t is called the Holy
isle, and is the repository of some of
the most valuable relics in the keeping
of the orthodox church.
Yet, on the sacred island woman is
not permitted to remain after the sun
goes down. She may visit the guest
house and dine in the refectory but is
expected to embark in the evening
This exclusion of women from the
molly was Sd1tl W D6 GllO WOTk
of Savatie, the first local saint Kneel-
ing in prayer by the side of the little
silver lake in the heart of the island,
one day in the sixteenth century, Sa-
waite heard loud cry as of some one
in pain.
Starting in the direction FROM which
the sound proceeded, he found young
woman lying on the ground, her face
bruised and her body bleeding
On being questioned in regard to her
injuries, she replied that two young
men, dressed in snow white raiment
and their faces shining brightly, had
approached her and declared that the
island belonged to God, and that no
woman must sleep on it single night:
The legend goes on to say that the
strangers then cast the beautiful young
creature on the ground and proceeded
to beat her with birchen switches
Soon after her recovery she left the
island and was never afterward seen
there. The two men in white raiment
were believed to have been angels sent
by God to drive women from the Holy
isle, and that rule has been observed
till the present day, though the reasons
for the Divine ostracism have not been
made very clear.-N. Y. World.

With figure swathed in white cloths

just before daybreak, or not at all, often

some unforeseen circumstance. The
slightest rustic will make him stop. and
once his suspicious are aroused, he will
not venture near. To shoot him on foot
by stalking is an impossibility. The
sportsmen will occasionally come upon
tiger when after other game, and may
then have chance of a shot If there
are few men who keep together, a
tiger, even if wounded, will think twice
before charging into the middle of them,
and will always shirk the last ten or
fifteen feet. None but the most fool
hardy or utterly ignorant would venture
to follow wounded tiger into long
grass or very close clover, where it has
every advantage, and the hunter may
be seized before he has time to raise his
rifle. One of the tigers greatest aids
in his attacks is his voice, the sudden
caughing roar of which is paralyzing

Long-pistanee ,Photographx.

Remarkable advances are being made
in the art of photography. At the an
nual exhibition of the Photographic So
ciety of Great Britain sensation was
produced by a photograph of Mont
Blanc, taken at distance of fifty-six
miles. Dallmeyer's telephotographic
lens was used, smallest stop, extension
of camera sixty inches, with seven min
utes exposure, at els p m, in windy
weather. The success of the telescope
camera is unquestionable, and opens up
many interesting possibilities The
securing of this view of Mont Blanc at
so great distance affords an opportu-
nifty Of instructive comparison with
an ordinary lens at similar and closer
ranges. Another exhibit had some sci
entific, though little or no artistic at
traction. Even the uninitiated have
ceased to be astonished at the lightning
records of the camera. Daguerre found
seven or eight hours exposure neces-
sary to procure copy of a landscape
that may be obtained now in an in
fnitesimal fraction of a second. Not
withstanding this familiarity with
speed, picture in the exhibition worth
noting was that of rocket in its fight
