Our rights no man dare dispute,
He bakes and he scrubs,
And he stands over tubs,
And takes care sor the baby to boot
Atnight we go down TO the club.

We smoke a cigar.

Then go home to our J ohnS with jag.
Oh. the joys of being a man!

Or shaving a note,
Or riding astride of bike.

THE COMPANY CHINA.

DESSERT and tea services, or, Ia fact,
~ china OF any kind that is ornamented
with gold, should never be washed
with soda in the water. The safest plan TO
prevent chipping the edges is to have a clean
wooden tub with a cloth in the bottom; in
this put hot water and a piece OF soap,
rub the soap on brush or with the hand
10 make u good iather, wash thechina in the
lather. and rinse in clear warm water, then
stand it on cloths spread on atable TO drain,
or in one of the wooden drainers specially
prepared for the purpose. Wipe on clean

gold by rubbing 1t well with dry soft

DUKES" chief business Is to take part in
funerals. Occasionally he attends wedding.
AT funerals tthe mustache has been known to

rected at herself, instead of at the animal
which was helping to draw her carriage. That
evening Duke had his upper lip shaved, but
the mustache would not down. 1t burst forth
the next morning and began to mature quicker
and more profusely than any human mus
tache. 1t grew until Jim Mcmahon, stable
man and driver for Undertaken Lockrid ge, re-
ceived orders to use the shears.
To his other accomplishments Mcmahon
now adds that of equine barber. Every
morning he combs and cuts "Duke's" glossy
black name, but his real genius he reserves for
Dukes mustache, which he trims regularly
and often, giving each end jaunty upward

droop for funerals. AS a matter OF fact,

needing the schoolhouses voted for the
school bonds and neglected the wharf.
AS result the total vote was very light
and the necessary two-thirds were not Sc
cured. That is, Berkeley cannot enjoy the
increase in business, population ard prop
erty values which the construction OF
wharf would have secured, and the
authorities are unable to accommodate all
the children who want to attend the pub
lie schools. The parents of these must
move away in order to find schools:
1t seems not to have occurred to the
great body of the people that the entire
community would have received benefit
from either of the two proposed improve
menus. Identical in character with this
attitude is that strong sectional spirit
which has existed in different major parts
of California. Il is true that this is break
ing down and that broader wisdom and
a genuine State pride are steadily growing,
due largely to the efforts of the State I'm
provement Committee; but now and then.
it has sporadic outbreak, principally IN
newspapers, and it takes the old deplor-
able form of making disparaging compari-
sons between different parts of the State.
Until this is wholly abandoned we cannot
hope for all the good things to which our
wealth of natural resources entities US. .
The whole truth is this: No two of the
larger sections of the State are alike, but
all that are habitable are good in their sew
eral ways. One has excellenc es and draw
backs which are foreign to another. No
comparison of any two in any one particu-
lar is fair, but on the contrary is damag-
for fha hot ~ nvn1n6ac tho
vital broad issues involved A section
that might seem superior to one person
might not to another. An industry that
might flourish better in one section than
another would not concern person who
desires to engage in some other industry.
1t is this wonderful variety of California
that constitutes its greatest charm and
value. 1t is a 'house of many mansions"
il which every pursuit can be followed and
every mem Der of civilized humanity find q
congenial home and occupation. Until
we ourselves show by an abolition of the
sectional spirit that we appreciate the
marvellous breadth and variety of our re-
sources it is folly to expect that we shall
be able to convince strangers of the fact.
Sectional pride is another matter. 1t is
right that q resident of one part of the
State should proclaim the attractions
WHICH have contributed to his health,
wealth and happiness; but if in dong so
he decries other sections he is proclaiming
hims self an enemy of the State and
worker of harm 20 his immediate neigh
bors.
The Berkeley incident betrays another
unfortunate condit1on-lack of unified
and earnest spirit of progress. That is the
case in other places as well, and it dis
closes lack of homogeneity. This is an
obstacle to be studied and overcome.

rivals. When the sketches were finished they
were most remarkable pieces of drawing in
asmuch as every feature was retained notwith-
standing the fact that the faces were twisted
in all sorts of shapes.
They were passed around and finally fell into
the possession of some one who thought they
were good enough to keep. Since that time he
has refused TO enter into the sport again and
is quite contented to joke over the caricatures
drawn of himself When they are good he
laughs heartily over them, but touch of bad
drawing is to him like red rag.to mad bull.
