spear-liks points were cut OFF, but with
this exception the plants are just as they
appear en- the mountain sides. They are
all in full blossom, and, aside from their
popularity, the beauty OF the blossoms
will attract the attention of every lover
of flowers.
The bloom is high above the bayonets.
Every year stalk springs from the center
Of the plant. The month OF Deem Der is

The slender sprigs on which the blossoms
form spring from the stalk at intervals of
three or four inches for a distance of five
or six feet from the top, and each sprig is
soon covered with cream-colored blossoms.
As soon as the plant finishes blooming the
stalk dies. and The following year new

By far the most novel floral display ever
seen in San Francisco was installed yesier-
day in the Southern California building,
when thirty splendid specimens of the
Yucca Whpple, commonly called Spanish
bayonets, were placed on exhibition.
These are the first plants of this variety
ever displayed in San Francisco and will
undoubtedly attract a great amount of
attention.
The Spanish bayonet, so called by reason
of the needle-like points which terminate
the leaves of the plant, can be found in
great numbers in any of the canyons of
Southern California. The body or bulb OF
the plant is not unlike that of the fan
palm in shape.
Hundreds OF bayonet-shaped leaves
spring from the bulb and thrust their
sharp points out in every direction. These
points are so sharp and strong that they
will easily pierce leather logging or boot
leg and iaffct painful though not at all
dangerous wounds. TIE specimens dis

land we hear the echo of the tramp of the
UNEMPLOYED, we of San Francisco meet In
one grand brotherhood, the wholesale
butcher arm in arm with the retailer, the
employer marching side by side with his
journeymau butcher.
1--WE ask you where, among the various
professions in tradesmen throughout the
land, would it be possible to unite any one
body OF men to the extent we have, so that
they close up their entire business places
in the middle IF the week and devote one
day TO recreation and pleasure, and we
desire right here to call the attention Of The
people of San Francisco to the fact that
the example we have set to-day is one that
IS worthy of being copied by other trades
men."
Director General de Young followed
with speech in which he referred % the
large and growing interests of the cattle
and meat industries of the State.

SOME DIFFICULT MUSIC
Performed by the Amateurs of the
Philharmonic Society.


The fourth concert of the Philharmonic
Society's present season was given yester-
day evening in Metropolitan Temple, I'M
der the direction of Hermann Brandt
a number of the selections performed
were of considerable difficulty for ANA
teurs, particularly three orchestra pieces
from "Sigurd Jorsalfar," by Grieg. In
some places the work OF the orchestra was
good, but in others 1t showed a lack OF re-
hearsal The information was not always
perfect, and that individuality which is so
commendable on the part of a sOloist was
& little too much in evidence among the
performers for the ensemble work to show
the required amount of precision. The
Strauss waltz, Sounds From the Vienna

plauded.

Theosophists as Advertisers.

To THE EDITOR: As newspaper man familiar
with the arts of advertising, can you satisfy my
curiosity the point, viz: How these people
calling themselves Theosophists manage to pro-
cure much free newspaper advertising if it
is free. One can scarcely take up n newspaper
or a magazine of the day without seeing some
thing relating TO this fad or cult or what not,
termed theosophy. am told that they include
in their mem mbership no person of any import
ance in society or the financial world, yet the
stir which is constantly being made py them in.
clines one 20 disbelieve this, If nothing by way
OF praise is said, they somehow induce a school
board to dismiss a teacher, or have Coxey and
Brown address circular to them, or get some
minister TO denounce them in a sermon, in
duce some crank at Buzzards bay TO call him
self Theosophist and invite Coxey's army to
come up there and spend the Summer near
Gray Gables In this way all the time they
seem 10 be setting up men of straw to have the
newspapers knock them down. with apparently
the result that theosophy gets free advertise
ment and has attention called to it Why don't
the newspapers and the church let the miscra-
Bile thing alone 20 die n natural death from
neglect, II it is miserable thing. Or can il be
that there is real vitality in the movement and
that in spite of the way in which il is spurnsd in
some quarters il is forcing attention, am free
10 confess | cannot fathom the mystery, and
would be very glad TO have an explanation.
