THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
State Board of Trade Again
Communicates With the
Governor.

Railroad Officials Donate $4,000
Toward the Projected
Plan.

The State Board of Trade is determined
that this State shall be creditably repre-
sented at the Atlanta Exposition, and in
view of more thoroughly directing the at
tention of the Governor to the advisability
of calling convention of the County
Supervisors, and having them appropriate
money from their respective treasures to
defray the expenses of moving the exhibit
which is contained in their rooms on Mar
ket street to the exposition grounds at
Atlanta, the secretary mailed the following
communication to Governor Budd last
evening:
The exhibit we have here in San Francisco
could not be gotten together for less than
$4,000 .or 100000 but by moving it entire
after being thoroughly replenished, and with
such additions the affiliating counties can
make and as other counties will contribute,
we would be able at a nominal cost of from
$1,000 to 1000 TO make an exhibit at Atlanta
equal in variety and attractiveness, if not
quite so extensive in quantity, as that made

One who strolls into Laurel Hill Gene
terry at the Bushstreet opening and turns
to the left on Mount Vernon avenue, near
the entrance, may see close to Pioneer
path, the name WooDwoRTH carved on an
UNCOVERED mausoleum. The ivy clings in
such dense and fond profusion to the vault
that it half conceals the letters and the
Egyptian pillars of the sepulcher. In the
vault the mortal remains of Samuel Wood
worth, the author of the "Old Oaken
Bucket" have crumbled into dust. In the
same vault are the remains OF nine
others of the Woodwork family, some of
them direct male descendants of the Illus
trious Samuel.
The survivors of the family dwelling in
San Francisco number nearly one hun
dred and several are descendants in direct
line.
Selim E. Woodwork of the navy and
his brother Frederick A. Woodwork,
grandson of Samuel Woodwork, have for
some months considered the advisability
of cremating the remains in the vault at
Laurel Hill. Before a final decision is
reached others of their kin will be con-
suited. Whatever disposition may be
made of the ancestral remains, it is sure
that the dust or ashes of the man who
wrote the "Old Oaken Bucket will be
preserved and u monument be erected in
his memory.
Leading men and women of the temper
ance societies have discussed this PROPOSE
ton, and the indications are that fresh
impulse will soon be given to the monu-
ment-building enterprise.
Few people outside of San Francisco
and not very many jewellers in this town
know that Samuel Woodworth's remains
were brought here in 1860 and placed in
the Woodwork family vault. Letters and
newspaper clippings are constantly re-
ceived by the family, in which informa-
ton is sought concerning the tomb of
Samuel Woodwork, hence a brief history
OF his career may prove interesting and
instructive:

If | WERE A GIRL.

The following is what Jenness- Mill
er, who has spent years of her life in
trying to show women how they may
grow healthier and happier and more
helpful, says she would do if she had
her life to live over again:
"If l were a girl would take care
of my health by living outdoors as
much as possible and taking long walks
in the sunshine. English girls un-
derstand how necessary this is for the
good compilations and cheerful spirits.
Wear simple clothing, that you may
climb mountains and breathe freely.
81 would secure the best education.
Go to college by all means. ii it be pos
sible. Read good books, and thereby
become intelligent.
II would cultivate cheerfulness
Discomfort soon shows itself in the face
If you are cramped for money, be
thankful that your lot is no worse than
it is. Learn to make the best of things
An unhappy woman is perpetual
cloud in home. A fretful girl has
few friends, and the number lessons
year by year.
81 would say kind things of others,
especially Of the girls. A girl who
makes unkind remarks about other
girls would better be avoided by young
men. She will not make an agreeable
companion for life.
81 would learn to be self-supporting.
Especially in this country. where for
tunes change, it is wise for girl to be
able to take care of herself. Helpless
women are not comfort to Others, and
usually are not to themselves.
II would try to be polite every
where True courtesy is more win
some than a pretty face or fine dress.
Loud talk or loud dress does not betoken
the lady. Be appreciative and
sympathetic, and you have two keys
which will unlock almost all hearts. "

THE CEREALS.

Barley is one of the most ancient of
plants.
The first ancient author to mention
rye was Pliny.
In India the cultivation of rice an
tedates history.
Oats were not known to the He
brews or the Egyptians.
Pliny mentions oatmeal as a favor
ite food of the Germans.
Wheat is believed to be an evolution
from moutain grass.
Maize has been found in the most
ancient Peruvian tombs.
Barley is found mentioned on the
earliest Egyptian monuments.
According to Pliny, the Roman
wheat had ears with 100 grains each.
Rice is said to be the staple food Of
nearly one-half the human race.
The Greeks had oats B. c. 200, but
used them only as food for their horses.
The native home of wheat is supposed
to be the mountain regions of Armenia.
The average wheat yield in England
is said to be thirty-six bushels to the
acre.
Rye contains from 2 to per cent less
of the nitrogenous principles than
wheat.
Rice was introduced into Spain by
the Arabs, and into Italy in 1868 by the
Spaniards
The peasants of Germany, Sweden
and Russia suhsist almost wholly on
ryebread.
Wheat is mentioned in he Scrip
lures as well-known grain and under
wide cultivation.
No kind of wheat now known exactly
resembles that found in the coffins of
the old Egyptians.
Next to rice wheat is eaten by the
greatest number of human beings, and
then comes maize.
There is no month in the year in which
a wheat harvest is not going on in some
quarter of the globe.
Wheat was cultivated in China B.
c. 2700, and at that date was deemed
the direct gift of the gods.
Grains of wheat have been found in
the sun-dried bricks of Egypt and
Ninevah, dating from at least B. G. $500.
The average yield of wheat in Russia
is 500 pounds to each 100 pounds of
seed; In Great Britain, Holland and
the United States, 900; in Italy. 1000.
AT the discovery of America maize
was grown by the Indian tribes from
Patagonia to Hudson's Bay. In Mex
leo and Peru its origin was attributed
to the gods.
| 1t is said that the history of wheat
cultivation in this country shows a
steady decrease. Fields in New York
that formerly produced twenty to
thirty bushels an acre now bring from
seven to twelve. The falling off is due
to lack of proper cultivation.-G

UNDERBRED WORKING WOMEN.

A correspondent of the Boston DAILY
Traveller" gives his experience in rela-
tion to this subject as follows.
have lunohed for years where
hundreds of working girls and women
go each day for their midday repast;
one in twenty five. perhaps, will order
something tending to nourish and
strengthen; the other twenty four leave
the table more lily fitted for their
afternoons labor than when they sat
down.
81 wonder if many Of us realize
what the working women lunch and
work upon! Physicians would shake
their heads, and say it could not be
done. But it is, and such women last
longer than would seem possible. A
glance through the stores and offices,
however, would show that the woman

thrity-fve.
",At the table with me, yesterday.
was delicate young girl, clerk in
the shoe department of one of our i'm
mense establishments; and her repast
consisted of two glasses of ice-water,
two chocolate eclairs. and several
pickles. Think of it'll This to sustain
her through a long, hard afternoon of
fitting shoes She dresses WE'LL neither
big sleeves nor smart gowns pass her
by; homemade hat minus feathers
never rests upon her head, but her
worn. anamic face would suggest less
feathers and more nourishing food.
1.-THE majority of these women lunch
upon piece of pie and cup of coffee,
or an order of rich. spioed pudding,
and glass of ice-water. Occasionally
one will rush through an order of fried
oysters and half a dozen pickles
The wonder is that they live through
the second year. From the table,
where they scarcely allow themselves
time to swallow the several mouth
fuls ordered, they hurry off to shop,
and use forty of the sixty minutes
allowed for dinner in this way. Then

pitifully attenuated waists tightly
clasped in corsets and bands, and their
trembling little stomaohs containing
ice-water and pie. Add to this the
anxieties naturally attending work
ing womans' life, and is it surprising
that their faces look harassed, nervous,
and bloodless?
''The young man clerk-who can no
better afford it-lives quite differently;
substantial food forms the basis of
his lunch, and usually vegetables and
glass of milk, all of which he masti-

A CURIOUS TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.

A very curious temperance society
exists in the Siberian village Of Ash
lyka. Every year, in September, the
members meet in the church and make
a solemn promise to abstain from wine
and all spirits for year. They also
sign an agreement that any person
breaking the pledge shall pay fine
of twenty-five roubles to the church,
and submit to be spat upon by his
more continent fellows. A most
peculiar feature of the custom. how.
ever, is that the members ON the one
day of the year when the pledge ex-
pires, allow themselves wine and
brandy during the few hours which i'm
tervene before the pledge for the ensu-
ing year is made.
