times-ever since I was little chap, in
fact. People are always coming around
each other and saying, "If there is any
thing can do for you at any time, COM
mand mel
They say it sort of with their lips you
know, without letting their voices go very
deep down.
They always smile when they say it, too,
and when / was a little chap l used to
wonder how they could smile when they
were making such serious offer.
Now, for instance, one day l heard a
man say that to my father, who has just
oodles of money. He has beautiful houses
so many of them he just has to rent them.
He has stores, and vacant lots, and | guess
he owns railroads and steamships and
courthouses.
When l heard this rich man tell my
father to command" him 1 was Just
tickled to death. l wanted to holler and
just had to go out in the other room and
turn couple of somersaulIs
When the man was gone I asked my
father if he wasn't glad, and what he was
going to ask for first.
Ny father laughed at me. He explained
to me that the rich man didn't mean a
thing-that he just said that for Jolly,
and wouldn't give bone to a dog.
Well. that was just the way it was with
the captain. We only asked him to do

world are you golng-to the CityP
l should think that even a professor
might know that when the steamer leaves
the Oakland mole she is going either to
the City or to the bottom of the bay. Be-
sides we captains know that although
there are four ferry steamers that have
been making about thirty trips apiece
across that bay every day for almost
twenty years, and although there are few
others that make regular trips from San
Francisco to other points than Oakland
and Alameda, none of them have ever yet
gone down, like McGinty, to the bottom
OF the sea.
Really, though, it's awfully dangerous
in fog. There is nothing to worry about
in storm. They only make us captains
laugh, those sort of sunset storms they
have out here.
Fogs are quite a different matter, and
considering what lot of fog drifts in here
and what thousands of people are being
carried back and forth across that bay all
the day and half the night; considering
how the steamers meet and pass and fol-
low and cross each other-isn't it lust
miracle that we haven't had collision?
No, sir; will tell you right here that
there isn't the least bit of miracle about
it. It's just because we captains under

EDUCATED NURSES NECESSARY.

Lady Somerset recently said: "Instead
OF some half-educaued, well-meaning but
ignorant nurse, 1 believe the day will come
when no woman will be considered tco
highly educated or too refined to mold the
early impressions of the youngest child,
and that mothers will see that in order to
secure the services of such refined and
cultured ladies they must make revolu-
tion in the accepted ideas OF the position
OF nurse in the houses of the rich. There
ought to be no situation so honorable, no
friend so trusted as the one who from the
earliest moment of the child's awakening
intelligence undertakes to guide the
thought and form the character at time
when such formative influence is vital to
future we'll being"

boy had pretty curls; so every night, when
George is ready for his tiny bed, she takes
long strips of soft flannel, around which
she winds his pretty brown hair. Then in
the morning, when she unrolls the fan
nels, Georgie's hair is all in little soft
rings, but some mornings she does not
nave chance to take down his curls,
because he is in such hurry
to get out TO play with Donald.
AND when he comes, my, don't he look
funny with his shiny black eyes and the
long strings of flannel hanging like little
tails from his head.
Rags" is little black "doggie," who
has to live away in the back yard. The
piggy, with its curly tail, was just dream
piggy:
Well, Donald's mamma dreamed that
the little dog named Rags" jumped up
and took hold of one of the strings of fan
mel hanging from Georgie's head, and that
the little black-eyed boy had hold of the
plggy's tail; that the piggy was trying to
catch little rags" tail, and that they
were running round the yard as fast as
their little fat legs could carry them
squeallng and barking, too.
Donald, in the dream, was standing
watching and laughing so hard that it
woke his mamma right up.
In the morning when mamma told Don
aid about her funny dream he did really
laugh so hard and so long that she thought
the dream might make some other little
boy laugh, too.

SHOOTING THE CHUTES.
A New Form of Amusement
Opened for San Francisco's
Patronage.
Thousands Present on the OPENING
Day-The Rage in London at
Present.

A novel and exhilarating form of amuse-
ment was opened to the residents of San
Francisco yesterday near the Haight-street
entrance to the park. 1t took the form OF
a water toboggan-slide, erected under the
management of Captain Paul Boyton.
From early morning until well into the
night thousands of people of all ages en-
joyed themselves at 10 cents time by
shooting the chutes," as the new amuse-
ment is termed.
The "chute" itself is small boat
shaped arrangement, capable of seating a
dozen persons. This is drawn up to the
top OF an incline and let down. 1t de-
scends, gathering velocity every mo-
ment till it strikes the water 1t then re-
bounds twice or thrice, producing most
delightful sensation in the nerves of those
seated in the boat.
Each boat is under the charge of an ex-
perienced guide, who helps to tow it after
the rebound to dry land. The manage
ment assures everybody that the pastime
is perfectly safe, though it is whispered
that the unfortunates seated at the aft
end OF the boat are liable TO emerge in a
somewhat sprayed condition. This is.
however, compensated for by the delight
ful feeling that passes through one while
making the descent.
Shooting the chutes" has become the
rage of the hour in London, Antwerp,
New York and Chicago. 1t bids fair to be-
come quite as much of a success in this
City.

light, but matter of still greater impor-
lance is the manner in which it is dis
tributed, and the lexibility with which its
various combinations can be handled. At
times brilliant effects are desired; at other
times total darkness is called for. and ali
the graduations between darkness and
bright hight must be easily available. A
typical lodgeroom has a large central
chandeller with possibly twenty lights.
