M. H. DE YOUNG IN NEW YORK.
He Talks of the Great Fair and winds
 Up With Politics.

Up With Politics.
 NEw YORK, Oct. 16.-M. H. DeYoung, proprietor of the San Francisco Chroni- cle, and vice-chairman of the Repgbli- can national committee is at the Wal dorf. One of his missions east is to buy collections for the new muse um recently established in San Francisco. He was seen by a reporter and said:
 "We have recently had one of the greatest and most successful expositions in the world We made money on it, and now are equipping one of the finest museums in America. Our exposition had the largest electrical display in the world, excelling that at the Worlds fair. French officials connected with the coming exposition in Paris sent a delegation of experts to see how wc were managing things and they will use number of our ideas. It cost us S360,000 to get the exposition we'll started, and we raised it all by subscrip- tion, with the understanding that the money was gift to the exposition and was not to be returned. It was great thing for California and the people of the Pacific slope will talk about it for years to come"
 "What do you think of the political outlook?'
 .'In California we shall elect a major ity of the congressional delegation of seven and the next legislature is sure to be Republican. The Republicans will carry the next national house of repre- sentatives.
 ''The Mckinley tariff gave the people temporary shock and aroused good deal of prejudice that directly affected the vote. We lost thousands of voters, for instance, because of the increase of duty on imported Sumatra cigars. It was so all through the bill, but after the Republicans were defeated people all at once remembered that business boomed under the Mckinley tariff and began to regret their haste in voting 1t away. They regretted it in Oregon, Ohio, Yer mont, Pennsylvania and Maine. and they are still regretting it.
 "The removal of the duty on wool has hit California hard. We have pro- duced on an average from 30, 900, 900 to 40,000,000 pounds of wool annually for many years past. We cannot stand Aus tralian and Argentine competition. Flocks are being rapidly reduced, the growers sending their sheep to the Sham bles rather than saving them for shearing purposes.
 "Ve shall seriously feel the with drawal of the bounty from beet sugar. Under the stimulus of the combined out put of which reached nearly 45, 900, 900 during the present year. The quantity could be increased almost indefinitely with the bounty system, but without 1t the beet sugar will go to the wall"

Danger at Sea.

A skipper had taken on a green farm CT lad just before sailing. The rural youth had seen no shipping, nor yet had his eyes beheld ships, save only the one upon which he found himself embarked
 He was, however. familiar with the vil- lage life near his own home, and of all the shops that which most delighted him was the one in the window of which were shown jars of colored liquid, and the interior of which contained a mausoleumlike soda fountain. The first night out the lad, being off duty, was gazing over the bow out into the dark ness when he saw near at hand two gleaming luminous globes of color, one green, the other red Rushing back to the skipper, he called out excitedly: Say, cap'n, yer better turn the ship around. We're gettin durned near a drug store "-New York Recorder.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
In Fitting Spectacle Bows to the Ears Both
 Must Be Considered.


 Having selected a pair of frames with Q nose piece of tho right height and spread to bring tho glasses into the proper position, and having had them fitted with glasses made i'll accordance with the ooulist's prescription, the op- tician now proceeds to fit the completed spectacles to your head. You might put them right on and wear them off just as they are
 But, no; he reaches over and places the bows over your cars himself. Then he tries the spectacles gently, as they rest upon your nose taking hold at the outer ends of tho frame. where the bows hinge. Not just right. He takes them of again and smooths the bows out be- tween the tips of his fingers and changes their shape little and tries them again. Better, but not just right yet. He takes them again and smooths out and bends in a little more. You observe as he hands them to you, as he does this time, that the bows have not only been changed somewhat in shape, but that now they vary in sweep and curve You put them on and find that they fit perfectly and very comfortably. He touches them and finds them right and says SO
 But the bows are not alike, you say.
 s'No," says the eptieian, ''but they are now made to fit Your ears are not just alike. One of them is little big ger than the other, and they are not placed exactly alike on the head '
 What?" you say. and he says: "Yes. There are very few of us that are perfect or just alike on both sides. New York Sun
