BOTANISTS AT A PICNIC.
The State Floral Society Take an
Outing

Outing.
The third open-alr meeting OF the Cali
fornia State Floral Society was held yes
terday at Mill Valley, Marin County.
There was scarcely so large an attendance
of members as at the meeting last month
at the Sherwood Hall Nurseries, but those
who were present had a very ENJOYABLE
day.
The object of these meetings, as stated
by Professor E. j. Wickson. the president,
is to increase the interest and loyalty OF
members and to attract the attention of
others to enjoy the object for which the
society works.
1t is hoped that the Open-ar meetings
may be made profit intellectually as we'll
rs socially by inducing members to study
the Horticulture of the various places
visited. The idea is a new one to this
part of the State, though the Santa Bar
Dara Horticultural Society are in ths habit
of meeting at the gardens and orchards of
members.
BY permission of the Tamalpais Land
and Water Company the picuicktrs were
allowed to lunch above the cascade. The
outsiders present were not puzzled by
any learned discUurseS on botany. Mem.
BEES of the society entered gayy into the
social side of the affair.
They shouldered their lunch baskets at
Mill Valley station, trudged to the spot
selected for headquarters and had bright
and sociabe time over this meal. Singing
and recitations were more in order than
bOtaniZing.
During the afternoon Professor Wickson
invited suggestions as TO the best place for
the next open-air meeting. A variety of
resorts, including Golden Gate Park and
Monterey, were proposed. The San Rafael
reservoir appeared to meet with most
favor, but it was decided to defer the de-
cision till the next month ly meeting oil the
society. The 25th Of July will probably be
tho date of the picnic, wherever 1t is held.
Every one returned from the open-air
meeting yesterday delighted with the day 8
enjoyment. The following officers OF the
society were present:
President. Professor E. j. Wickson; vice
president, Mrs. o. Hodgkins: secretary,
c. S. Aiken; directors-Captain Emil KelI-
ner, Mrs. b. M. Harris.
Mrs. NJ. Grothwell. Miss NJ. Grothwell,
Mrs. E. P. Rixford, Miss Rixford, Mrs.
Crane and about thirty other ladies and
gentlemen belonging to the society were
also at the picnic.

is of such general excellence that it is
difficult to single out articles of espec-
ial interest There is something to
suit women of every sort and condi-
ton. The Summer Fashions are very
dainty in themselves, and are attrac-
lively drawn and described. In addi-
ton to the regular monthly issue, there
is a special illustrated paper on the
Dressing of Stout Ladies. Our cor
respondent at Chicago sends the third
article descriptive of the Worl's Fair,
and contributes gossip paper on
men, women and things, entitled In
and Out of the Fair. In the Lawn
Tennis series Miss Whittelsey writes
of the instruments of the gams-courts,
rackets, balls, ETC., and gives some
sensible advice about women's dress.
The Physical Culture article deals
with Expression of the Torso, the
Child Life series has an interesting
paper on the Children's Library, aud
the Dancing Lessons arrive at the
German, which is clearly and attrac-
lively described. Housewives will
appreciate the article on Use of Curry
Powder, and all womankind will de.

An Investment That VIII Pay.

A Chinese baby is really the funniest

and we have never seen such lifelike
portrait of one as that published in the
July number of Demorest's Family
Magazine, which contains "The ORR
entail Legations at Washington" Be-
sides this baby of the Chinese Minister,
are pictures of his wife and suite, and
views of the different rooms in the
Chinese Legation: and this highly
interesting article is also embellished
with other curious and beautiful por-
traits and views from the several ORR
entail Legations. Nobody who has any

circles, and woman lectur was a
monstrosity. Contrasting that date
with the present and taking note
of the change in sentiment from one
decade to another, it is scarcely too
much to expect that by another fifty
years we shall see most wonderful
revolution in matters of this sort. 1t
is safe to predict that before the end of
the first decade of the next century the
woman preacher will be no more of a
novelty than the woman doctor now
is. Woman is specially fitted for such
work, and even were she notso it would
be only the strictest kind of justice to
give her some of the honor as well as
most of the hard work of the church.
When once it dawns fully upon the
minds of the people of this generation
that there is no sex in intellect or
moral achievement, the first and most
difficult part of the knotty problem
will have been solved.

The Festive Firecracker,

Stopl here are firecrackers! How
that pungent odor annihilates time.
One really has strong desire to take
Il pack, squat down somewhere, and
fire it Off" 1t is strange that no one
can make firecrackers like the Chinese:
they seem to possess some exclusive
knowledge or secret. Yet how simple
they are. A strip of the thick coarse
paper is cut six inches long and an
inch and half wide. Across the mid
die of it the matchpaper, or stem, is
laid, protruding quarter of an inch
from the bottom. A pinch of fine
powder is laid upon it and the paper
folded and pasted. Then, it is deftly
rolled into a hard cylinder. The bot
tom is plugged with particle of soft
red clay, and the cracker is then laid
IN mold and pressed until dry, the
clay meantime being rammed in still
more firmly. Finally slip of thin red
paper is pasted for the envelope. This
is one description of the manufacture.
Colon Field speaks of another method
whereby the paper was rolled and
pressed around form, and when dry
the fuse was inserted, the bottom
plugged with clay, the powder put in,
and the paper at the upper end punch
ed down around the fuse, after which
the red envelope was put on.-From

A beverage to meet the requirement,
must, first of all, be absolutely pure
and non-alcoholic. 1t should possess a
medicinal element to counteract the
effects of the heat and keep the blood
pure and the stomach healthful. In
order to be palatable and refreshing,
it should be sparkling and effervescent.
Last but not least, it must be economi-

beverage that fully meets all of the
above requirements and one that is en-
