THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
Synopsis of a Bible Lesson in the
First Congregational Church.

Much cheering intelligence in regard TO
the spread of free kindergarten work In
other places was given by Mrs. Cooper at
the opening of her Bible class in the First
Congregational Church yesterday. a letter
from Scranton, Pa, told Of the raising Of
$1,000 and the opening of school in that
city. Editorials based upon the last report
Of the Golden Gate Association in the cal
press of that city had proved an awakening
force in behalf of the good work.
The lesson of the day was On the "Dedi-
cation Of the Temple" Mrs. Cooper spirit
ualized the snhject, basiDg her remarks on
the words, "Ye Are the Temple of God"
Let us remember, said the teacher, that the
building Of the house of God, in the full
sense of that term, means the setting up Of
great principles, squaring the life TO stand
ards OF righteousness, speaking words OF
truth and purity and thinking and feeling
rightly. Mans part in Gods service should
never be overlook ed. If in all our work we
go parallel with Gods laws the sequel will
always be happy one and full of satisfac-
tory results, whether we live to see them or
not. Our long tasks, our bitter disappoint-
ments, our faithful foundation work will
have a like termination. Others will
reap what we sow. Whoever plants
a tree for shade or fruit, Is doing something
for those who come after. Wien the old
temple was dedicated all dlHeTences were
healed. This was right. Sects ought not
to war with enc another. They often seem
more bent on destroying one another than
on destroying sin and misery. A generous
rivalry is all right; spirit of jealous strife
is ali wrong. The people rejoIced over the
completion of the temple. IL was natural.
We always reioice over a completed work
just in proportion to the sacrifices We have
made to secure its completion. We are in
terested in anything exactly in proportion
to the care, time, thought, money and labor
that we invest in it. There are men of busi-
ness who so load themselves down with
carking cares as to be almost strangers to
the inner life Of home. 1t is their loss. So
it is in the life If the spirit. We need to go
apart from the din and disc ri of earthly
voices In order TO discern the voice of God
in the soul. BE still aud know that l am
God" There are paths OF pleasantness
that bring the thoughts TO groves of peace.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
Irish Societies Prepare for
a Celebration.
John F. HanIon Chosen Permanent
ChairmaE-The Several Committees
Appointed and Instructed.

From the enthusiasm displayed by the
delegates to the St. Patrick's day conven-
ton, who met yesterday in Irish-A American
Hall, the celebration On March II will be a
grand success.
AS it viii take plenty of time and money
to make il a success, the patriotic Irishmen
recognized this fact, met yesterday TO elect
in due time o permanent chairman and
other officers and TO appoint committees to
arrange the celebration.
In the absence Of John O'Kane, the tenn
porary chairman, P. Corrigan took the
chair The 6rsi and most important bust.
ness before the convention was the election
Of a permanent chairman. There were only
two candida tes, John +. Hsnlon and I. b.
OBren. Considerable argument was raised
as TO how the election should proceed, some
wanting a rollcan, while others wanted il
balloted for At last an agreement was
made and il was decided TO ballot for the
chairman, and a recess Of ten minutes was
taken to prepare ballots. From the way
the members expressed themselves il looked
as though the election of MI HanlOn was
almost certain. and Mr.. 0BTien, noting the
condition Of affairs, withdrew his name and
made motion that the election OF Mt. Han
lon be declared unanimous, which was well
seconded.
Mr.. HaRlon made few appropriate
remarks, thanking the delegates for the
honor bestowed upon him. and hoped that
during his term Of Office he would DO half
as much work as Mr.. O'Brien, the pTeeed-
ing chairman, had done, wh ich would nil

NOTES FROM NILES.
Some of the Difficulties of Successful
Fruit-Growing.

A gentleman remarked TO me last week
that no one ought to be a fruit-grower who
was not especially trained for the business.
or who did not make il a study; that the
time was coming when only men who uu-
derstoou the physiology of plant life would
be the successful orchardists.
1t is needless to say that the remark was
not made by a practical grower. 1t is
really as absurd as it Is to demand that
mothers should be physicians or trained
nurses before they shall understand TO
bring up" the rising generation.
Science may be able sometime in the
future to tell what fruits will be successful
In certain soils and climates, but the practi-
cal man will always be inclined to pul more
faith in the actual experience of some hard
headed rancher who has tried and knows.
AS for success in fruit-growing 1t does
not require any previous knowledge of
farming of any kind AS an example:

six years, and who probably never ran a
fGrrow IN all his life There are, in fact, in
this immediate neighborhood eight or nine
other orchardists, who without any experi-
ence whatever in farming, have the cleanest,
best and most productive orchards here.
What 1t does need is, first, common sense,
plenty OF IL, careful attention TO all the
details Of work. as pruning. grating. spray

actual work, and yet be successful. And

constant study The old farmers here have
been no better eff than the new corners; all
have had to find out by actual experience

years. Nearly every year new wash Is

A Native Exhibit at the Fair of Peculiar
Merit

An exhibit at the Mechanics Fair that
attracts much attention among lovers of
nature is that of flower paintings on native
wood prepared for exhibition at the Worlds
Fair, by Miss l.. j. Reeves of Mendocino
County.
1t is to be found at the Pavilion on the
east side of the west gallery, just outside
the art gallery in the Mechanics Pavilion.
Briefly described this interesting exhibit
consists of some 12O panels Of highly pol
ished woods, upon which about $50 species
of wild flowers are painted. The woods are
simply oiled and highly polished. the nat
ural cOlOrs being preserved.
In all twenty live varieties are included,
put Of the 100 panels seventy-hye are Of red
wood and offer such variety of grain,
markings, birdseye, wave. curl and burl as
would scarcely be deemed possible. no two
being alike.
The panels are not uniform. but are cut
in such a way as to present all unique
features of grain and avoid moDotony IN

Of the flower paintings.

do so. He placed these chairs near his
stand and then took a seat on a bench,
from which position he had a full view OF
the chairs.
A few moments after this gentleman,
accompanied by two ladies, came along
and. noticing the vacant chairs, took them
up, intending to carry Them 10 the balcony
SO that the ladies who were with him could
be seated aud see the crowds that were
promenading on the main floor.
As soon as the gentleman raised the air
the catal0gue-vender. in a voice 1ull OF
authority and not over gentle, called out:
Put them chairs back"
Tie gentleman, abashed, relinquished his
hold on the chairs and walked away. As
soon as the gentleman turned his back the
catalogue pedder laughed ill his sides
Rched
Presently two women came along and
were about to seat themselves on the vacant
chairs, when the young man, who was
watching them, motioned to them, and they
took seat by his side. Then he whispered
something, which caused them to smile.
Not long after this lady and a child
came by, and the lady sat on one Of the
chairs. After resting herself she arose and
attempted 10 take the chair with her In the
direction Of the balcony. when the voice of
the young man again grufiy sounded
through the gallery. 1t was the same cry
u
back, and the young man and the two
women joined In a hearty laugh.
The third victim of the catalogue peddler
was ex-Judge Davis Louderbaek. he was
accompanied by lady, and was in the act
of removing one of the chairs when he was
warned to put that chair back. He was
laughed for the manner IN which he put
the char back In its place. the two women
joining in the loud ha-ha.
This sort OF fun was kept up BY the funny
yoang man until two Of his female aequain-
tances came along and he invited them to
tie vacant seats.
Now that Director HeDdy of the pavilion
committee is making reforms in the man.

might take this funny young catalogue
peddler in hand, and give him to understand
that his business is to attend 10 the peddling

place and are entitled 10 such of the few
comforts that are provided for them.

4" HIS MAJESTY"
A Big Audience at the Rehearsal
Yesterday.

"HIs Majesty" was rehearsed with the
orchestra for the third time at the Grand
Opera-house Yesterday afternoon, to the
great delight of q large number Of people.
The audience was the most notable fea-
ture Of the rehearsal; nearly four hundred
people, who were presumably friends OF
some of the folks on the stage. or friends OF
somebody who knew some Of them got 10
through the stage door and distributed
themselves about the cold and shadowy
auditorium. There have been society opera
rehearsals here before, but so many never
enjoyed q free opera before
The audience yesterday put little starch
In the rehearsal, and some OF the managers
growled quietly. The audience applauded
all the soloIsts, laughed at the funny Things
just as much as though they had paid to
hear them, and laughed at blunders, awk-
ward displays OF passion aud the prancing
stage-manager, who showed Donald Graham
how to make love, the prime minister now
to bow, and Charles Dickman how to say

Altogether. the rehearsal went off
smoothly and with vim, and it promised for
the production one OF the greatest successes
that amateur opera has ever scored in san
