In these days of crusades against the
wearing of big theatre hats it is pleas
ant to note that none of these abomina-
tions have ever disturbed any play goer
in DeLsmar. This is rather a far fetch
ed consolation for the want Of public
hall here, but we have so little hopes of
seeing one built that we must look for
conaolation somewhere.

The Children of Miss Weeks Private

Of all the exercises of these days of
commandments none are more pleas
ing than those Of Miss Weeks school
for little folks. A representative of
this paper was privileged to attend the
closing exercises of the school year,
which took place this morning, and we

present when we say that every heart
yielded itselfcaptive to the gentle grace,
sweet simplicity and charming frank

every one of the children did his or her

Horse Power of a Bicycle Rider.

An experiment which may be per-
formed by any one riding bicycle is
the determination of the horsepower
of the rider by simple calculation af-
ter the ascent of a hill. The mechani-
cal equivalent of a horse power, being
SO, 900 pounds raised through distance
of one foot in one minute, may be di-
.rectly applied to a machine and its
rider. The only requirements. besides
man and wheel are stop watch and
a steep, smooth hill of known altitude.
The hill should be steep enough to pre-
vent one from ascending with any
great velocity and thus have the wind
resistance vitiate the result. The
weight in pounds of machine and rider
being almost always known and the
time readily taken, the altitude Of the
hill can be found by q level and staff.
1t will be seen that the length Of the
hill does not matter, so long as the in
cline is steep enough to prevent fast
riding when the whole energy of the
man is expended in propelling him up
the grade. The figures found when
compared with the ones above, give the
horse power in pretty accurate way.

Many Uses for Mushrooms.

Not only human beings, but COWS,
sheep, squirrels, and many kinds Of
birds are fond of mushrooms. In many
places mushrooms are dried just as our
grandmothers once dried apples, strung
on strings, and hung from the ceiling
for winter use. Some European species
are used in coloring. One yields a yell
low dye, another an exquisite green
which colors the tree on which it grows:
and from this wood is manufactured
the celebrated Tunbridge ware. The

A COREAN CEREMONY.
A Scheme to Strike the European Trav-
eler with Wonder.

Scheme to Strike the European Trav-
eler with Wonder.
AS entered Seoul royal procession,
with which the king visited some OF
the ancestral tombS, was returning by
another gate, writes a Seoul corre-
spondent It's novel feature was that
the minister of war rode in European
evening dress and a bowler" hat. On
the day following 1 witnessed cere-
monial new in Corean history, and
which may have far-reaching results
to Coreans. The japanese have re-
solved to clean the Augean stable Of
official corruption, and compelled the
king to begin the task by proceeding
in state to the altar Of heaven and
there taking an oath before the spirits
of his ancestors to the proposed re-
forms. His majesty, by exaggerat1ng
a trivial ailment had for some time
delayed the ceremony, and, even the
day before, a dream, in which an an
cestral spirit appeared to him adjurins
him not to depart from ancestral ways,
terrified him from taking the proposed
pledge. After long delay and much
questioning as to whether at the last
moment the king would resist the for
eign pressure, the procession. in sol
emn silence, emerged from the palace
gate; huge flags, on trident headed
poles, purple bundles carried aloft,
stand Of sacred stones conveyed with
much ceremony, groups Of scarlet and
blue robed men IN hats shaped like
fools caps of the same colors, the
kings personal servants in yellow
robes and yellow bamboo hats, decorat-
ed with pink roses, and men carrying
bannerets. Then came the red silk
umbrella, followed by-not the magnif-
icent state chair, with it's forty bearers,
but plain wooden chair with green
roof and glass sides, in which sat the
sovereign. looking very pale and de-
jected borne by only four men. At a
short distance followed the crown
prince in a similar chair. Mandarins,
ministers, and military officers were
then assisted on their caparisoned po-
MES, and each, with two attendants
holding his stirrups and two more
leading his pony, all in gorgeous raj
ment, fell in line behind the home min
lister on a dark donkey conspicuous by
his foreign guard. Half an hour later.
by passing along a street so narrow
that two horsemen cannot ride abreast,
the king reached the altar of heaven,
where the military escort was left out
side the outer WALL and only the king,
dignitaries and attendants proceeded
to the altar. The groupings Of the
scarlet-robed men under the dark pines
was most effective from an artistic
point Of view, and from a political
standpoint the taking of the oath by
the Corean king was one of the most
significant acts in the tedious drama
of the present war.

son-in. Law Has Plenty of Fun Out Of
Fairs Numerous Wills.
A few days ago Herman Oelrichs,
son-in-laW Of the late James G. Fair,
millionaire, received a dispatch from
John w. Mackay running somewhat to
this purpose: Congratulate you on
your numerous relations. Will there be
enough to go around?" To which DEL
richs airily replied: I'VE are forming a
half-million club in San Francisco.
The heirs constitute the club. But they
are all left. Was carving a turkey last
night and found another will leaving
everything to me- Which indicates
that Mr. Oelrichs has his own way of
enjoying life and getting some fun out
of very serious situation. One day
last week he entered the office Of Reu-
ben H. Lloyd, attorney for Mr.. Oelrichs,
and said, with grave face and impor-
tant mein:
81 want to consult you on matter
of business"
> what is it? What is it?" asked
Lloyd, shutting and smiling as lawyers
do in the presence Of an eminent client
and a fat fee.
well, Mrs. Oelrichs is in a quandary
as to how she will invest what she re-
ceives from the estate when every
thing is over. She wanted me to get
your opinion as to whether she should
buy a watch or a chain. OF course,
there'll not be enough to get BOTH
Mr.. Lloyd laughed as in duty bound,
politely ignoring the cynicism which
indicated that by the time the aggre-
gated lawyers were through with the
feast there would be few scraps for
the heirs.

middle door in the main hall, next to
the wax figure of the old man reading

kept perfectly still, and waited to see
how many persons would take me for a
wax figure.
Men and women, catalogue in hand,
stopped and looked at me. They would
look in the catalogue and find the de-
scription of the old man reading the
programme, but not a line about the
young woman sitting near him.
Then the attendant would come up
and explain that I was a new figure
just made and put up that afternoon,
whereupon the visitors would remark
that it was a wonderful imitation and
walk away.
AS long as they made no personal
comments 1 could stand it very well,
but Tuesday was the day for the coun-
try visitors, and I had such funny eX-
perience with farmer Hayseed and his
wife, after 1 had been there some time,
that it nearly upset me for the rest of
the afternoon.
/ could see them as they came in the
door-a tall, rugged man, about fifty
years old, with big boots, SLOUGH hat,
and heavy overcoat, and little dried
up woman, dressed in finery of some
9Wenty years ago, with sharp, gray
eyes, and hands knotted from work-a
couple to attract attention anywhere.
They began at the entrance and missed
nothing. Presently they stood directly
in front of me and peered curiously into
my face.
began to be afraid of what was COM
ing. 1 suppose 1 must have looked at
them with too natural an interest, for
finally the old man said:
Here, Maria, do I look i'll er any
thing? Do l look as if 1 was goin' to
have a fever?"
why, no, John. What We askin' me
that for?" she answered, looking anx-
5ously at him.
''Nuthin' only I wish you would look
at them eyes in that f1gger's head and
see if they foller you like they do me-
1 saw what was coming, and when she
looked straight into my eyes 1 opened
them wide and put as much expression
into them as 1 could. Then with won
der in their faces they walked back and
forth in front of me, not taking their
eyes off for moment. I did not move,
but let my glasses follow them without
wavering.
Presently the woman said, turning to
her husband, with pathetic little quiv-
er in her voice:
II think, John, I'd like to go home.
Them figgers is SO life-like; it's almost
uncanny, and I don't think 1 want to
see any anore."
By this time several persons had
gathered around the couple, their ac-
tions attracting more attention than
anything else. I was so interested in
keeping up the deception that I found
mo great difficulty in keeping an I'M
moved countenance.
''Pouf! Wimmin is always afraid of
things" the farmer retorted, with a
great show of bravery.
Il will jist show you how silly it is
to be scared of only wax figger.'
He took hold of my arm and started
TO put his hand under my chin, when,
still keeping my eyes on his, I said, in
as deep and mechanical voice as I could
assume:
