papers were duly signed and forwarded to

1t was the benefit Of the San Francisco

Theater Yesterday afternoon, ano all the
seats in which the briliants or the fashion
aples could have consented to sit had been
sold out before noon. At half-past l
o'clock only the gallery remained. and the
people who had put off purchasing tickets
beforehand waited about in the hope that
some one who owned the coveted seats
might be prevented from coming.
The thester was brilliant one. rs the
threatening weather had not prevented
the lades-and most of the audience was
composed of Iades-from making con-

PROF. JORDAN ON EVOLUTION.
He Says That Monkeys Can Never
Evolve into Men.

Professor David Starr Jordan lectured
last night for the Hawtht rne Society a,
The Y. NJ. c. A. Hall on Evolution, What
1t Is aud What Il Is Not"
"Many think" said the professor, ait is
something about men and monkeys.
What the theory of evolution teaches is
that man in his various forms, and the
monkey In its various forms, are descended
from common stock. So are cats. birds,
rats, etc, but there is less difference be-
twern men and monkeys than between
other animals. Common monkeys are
more like men than the ring-tailed monkey
is like other monkeys.
jungle monkeys travel little. They
do not talk much. They have not learnt
TO build on what their ancestors have
done. They are narrow and prejudiced.
Primitive man, who led a nomadic life.
soon learned the value of Cooperation, a I'D
also learned 10 build on what his ancestors
had done. In fact, the human lace soon
found use for its reason, and learned not
to depend on its instincts Mans not a
deyelODed monkey, although the ancestors
of monkeys and men have sprung from a
common stock. In fact, man is own
brother to the monkey, but it is my belief
that before we turned off from The line of
monkeys we were good deal lower than
the monkeys We know now"
eyolutionists believe every living creature
TO have come from common stock the
followers of Darwin DO not consider that
one species can now evolve into another.
Monkeys can never evolve into men tut
mis- can only evolve into higher and
better kind of turnip3; the men Of. the fu-
ture will be descended from the men of
the present. "The cause of progress is the
survival of the fittest. We are, in one
sense. the chosen people, the descendants
of these that overeame. The tendency of
society is To crush out the unfit"
The belief in spontaneous generation
was strenuously denied as a part of the
teaching of evolution. IF spontaneous
generation were possible to-day the living
creature generated would be as much
smaller than drop of water as a drop of
water is smaller than the earth. Evolu-
ton does not teach spontaneous generation
to-day. however, because all species of
animals aud plants are SO closely allied
that We believe them to have sprung from
a common stock"
Apropos OF This reported belief OF OAR
wins disciples in spontaneous generation
Professor Jordan observed II find that
as rule those who call themselves evoiu-
tionists have simply picked up half a
dozen formu lac that science has rejected"

Collars of the Season.

To dress milady's neck requires much
money this season. The stacks are mex
pensive enough in themselves, but the
buckles which adorn them may cost any
where from 81 30 TO $3.50. The latest stocks
are made wi wing-like loops OF velvet at
the side instead of rosettes, but there is
very little chance for variety of design in
these ASKING collars.
1t is the deep lace collar which falls over
the corsage that is displayed just now in
every novel fancy under the sun. The
very latest style has foundation of black
silk net and is shaped like deep yoke
with epaulettes over the shoulders. The
net is entirely covered with jet spangles
mingled with paillettes of pale green.
There are also new collars of black silk
passementerie, interviewer with cream
guipure. The epanlettes are most novel.
They consist of Vandyke point Of gull
CURE. bordered with deep fringe of fiae
jets. Collars Of coarse black silk lace have
the design artistcally wrought with gold
threads and are striking in effect.
All OF these collars are useful posses
siOns. They transform plain bodice

generally speaking, nothing 10 do; natur-
ally. therefore, much of her time is spent
on her bath. on the braiding OF her hair,
and the looming of glorious apparel. The
most enjoyable part of the day being that
of early morning, SHE rises early some-
where about o'clock. and having used a
mouth wash of rose or lemon scented
water, puts herself into her maids lands
TO have her hair dressed. AS rule the
hair is abundant, far below the waist,
black as night, ana soft as silk. BY way
of pomade. little oil made from aloe
wood is put on. and the whole put into one
thick plat or coil and arranged simply and
quite low on the neck. According to her
wealth she will wear in 1t gold or silver
ornaments.
The bath is prepared very hot, and over
this ceremony, which is partly religious
observance as well, the lady may spend
TWO. II DOT more hours. Soaps are not al
ways USED, but there are unguents, pastes,
OF all kinds, which the bathing women
alone know how 10 manipulate, and which
make the skin as soft as velvet The

to wash the face overnight with milk
which has been curded with squeeze of
lemon. This is done in the hot weather to
cool the face before retiring.
In Constantinople the ladies often dive
the hair an auburn tint by using a paste
mole or less liquid called "rastic." "Ras-
tic" is said to contain certain amount OF
green vitrlol, but the ingred tents used are
kept profound secret. In India the men
often dye their boards a bright orange, and
very queer they look at times when they
drop in the wrong powder and emerge

The women there rarely interfere with
nature as regards their hair; they prefer
il black. They, however, color their teeth
and nails. Certain tribes stain their teeth
black or red. Their nails they dye with a
species of myrtle leaf the color of red
Ocher.
Then the eyelashes have to be touched
up. This is done by the use of an adhe-
sve powder called 'Sooema." Sooema
