man with piles of Christmas trees and
forests of holly and it's scarlet berries
Then there were the flower girls Of
fering great dewy California violets-
as big as pansies-big punches of hello
trope, tea roses in bloom and shyly
budding; pink carnations for dude
button-holes, big baskets of giant
chrysanthemums and barrowfuls of
mixed flowerets daintily yelled with
maidenhair fern. Flora is green in
California and she proposed to let the
world know it at the yuletide when
her Eastern realm is frozen or snow
covered.
Then there were rows of shallow carts
laden with French" candy, English
walnuts, Riverside oranges, dates,
figs, chocolate creams, bananas, apples
from Oregon, ice-cream, chewing-gum
ct hoe genus omne. All packages
were in readiness for the nimble nickel,
and all were suitably wrapped for pre-
sentation to the object of the buyers
taste.

Never were nickels so plentiful nor
hucksters so merry. The very Rosi-
nantes harnessed to the ''coster"
wagons scented good feed when night
fell, and looked happier than their
wont.
Cheap jewelry absorbed unusual at
tention. Pure gold' rings were law
ishly offered at a nickel a piece, each
circlet being fitted in the presence of
an adnniring crowd. A revolving tray
of pins, sleeve-links, brooches and en-
blems attracted a large circle, which
was invited to pick their choice for
a dime a pick" Many a youthful
swain was induced to part with his
dimes for two glittering diamonds
and fanciful trifles.
1t was Paris in spring or Florence
at carnival time on Market street. 1t
seemed as if everything that the heart
of approbative or susceptible man or
woman could desire was obtainable on
the streets of San Francisco yesterday
for a modest nickel or dime.

those first few months of his incum-
bency of the office. The result was
that when the panic came on and
banks began to fail and troubles to
accumulate the young comptroller
knew his business. He handled it, too,
with celerity and confidence. He won
the confidence and admiration of the
financial and business world. He han
died greater number of bank fail

done and larger than any similar Gov

good anecdote is told illustrating
the superior enterprise of the Yankee
shippers years ago. The Bedford
whalers left port for many a long voy-
age, sometimes to the far north, at
other times to the far south. These
intrepid followers of the sea sought
and pursued the whale in the ice-clad
latitudes about the poles with a natu-
raj fearlessness. A squadron sent out
by Russia to explore the south seas,
and reach the pole, if possible, had at
tanned a degree of latitude which the
commodore proudly told himself had
never been reached by white man or
other human beings. While he re-
fiected upon the fame that would sure
ly embellish his name, his sailors cried
Land hol" Off to the south he des-
cried long Iow-lying bit of land, and
hastened to shape his course to reach
it, there to plant the Russian stand
ard on its highest point, claiming it in
the name of his Majesty.
What was his disgust and astonish-
ment when, as his vessel approached
the shore, he observed, over a bit of
headland. a flag fluttering from a
masthead. In a few minutes a little
schooner poked her nose around the
point and came sailing smartly over
the waves toward his vessel. The
lean Yankee captain, who was stand
ing in the rigging as the schooner
came up in the wind, yelled:
Alloy, there! What ship is that?"
His Majesty's ship the -
'Well, this is the Nantucket from
Rhode Island. We're doing a little pi-
loting in these ATTITUDES, and if you
want to run in the cove yonder, why,
we'n pilot you in for a small charge"

to square his sails around and shape
his course for Russia.-Harper's Round

thoroughbred, but it was bound to
come, and in the year 1918, ten years
after Messengers death, the first pub
lie trotting race of which there is any
record in the United States, took place,
when the gray gelding, Boston Blue,
was matched to trot a mile in three
minutes, a feat deemed at that time to
be impossible. All the same, the
gelding went the mile in less than
three, though what the figures were
nobody knows, as records were not
kept then as they are now"

OUR PART IN THE PARIS SHOW

The President recommends the appro-
priation of large sum to enable the
United States to cut a figure at the
Paris exhibition. This sum is over
100000, and it must be remembered
that this is to be supplemented by pri-
vate contributions and expenses of
business men. But if the output is
large it must be borne in mind that the
returns are likely to be large There
is no way of finding out just the rela-
ton Of exports to world fairs, but it is
sure that these enterprises, which sell
dom pay their stockholders, do pay the
nations that hold them. Philadelphia
gave an impetus to the art of this ma
ton and to that of other nations in it's

.ow to Select Flower aud Arrang. Them
g. ,rc Best id,EItage.
1t is but shoit time since u single
forist of New York drew to himself the
,ustom Of the socinl world by arrang-
ing flowers in natural manner. In
.tead of wiring lovely roses OH wooden
toothpioks and putting al manner of
,iscordant colors and powerful perfumes
IN u set bouquet he chose flowers OF
faint, delicate fragrance and made a
point Of mounting together masses of
one kind He left the roses on their
lovely stems, merely clipping the briers
OF, and tied them IN loose, graceful
bouquets, with ribbon of the same color
OF in delicate contrast.
1t was the rule of the florist who in
troduced the natural method Of arrang-
ing flowers not only to mass flowers OF
the same kind together, but to use their
own foliage with them wherever it was
possible to do so. A color was chosen
for table decoration, and this was car
ried out in the table fittings. The candle
shades and the flower selected for the
keynote were of this color.
In decorating table it is safe rule
to avoid all strong colOrs except when
demanded for special occasions, like
Christmas, when flowers, berries or
leaves in holly red are properly used.
White flowers, if they are Of lovely
texture and without perfume, arc sue
cessfully used ON certain occasions with
abundance Of green. Pale yellow and
pink are probably the most successful
colors. Some exceedingly beautiful ia
BILE decorations have been carried out IN
pale purple orchids with fern or in fern
with violets. The latter blossom usually
has too much perfume to be used sue.
cessfully on the table.
Pink gloxinia, with maidenhair fern,
makes u charming decoration. Some
wild flowers are sometimes effective fol
this purpose IL Of decided enough
character, like that of the water lily.
Green is one Of the best colors for thu
summer table if it is carried out in flint
maidenhair and delicate foliage plants
with palms growing in pots. In such
case the entire dining room should hav
bowerlike look.
Old fashioned pink and white swee
peas, with maidenhair, have been use,
by florists with the greatest artistic sue
cess. Not all flowers, however charming
they may be by themselves are a success
in decoration, but roses are always love
ly for this purpose If of delicate colo
and properly massed.

Having built a great naval dry
dock at Port Royal, the government
will now proceed to dredge a chan
mel from the sea so that the ships of
the new navy can reach it. This IS
a wise precaution, because the ap-
proaches to the dock by land are not
practicable for our naval vessels, un-
less they are taken to pieces. After
we have dredged a channel to the
dry-dock at Port Royal and have
succeeded in pumping the water out
of'the dry-dock at Brooklyn, it will
not be necessary, as 1t IS now, to
send our naval vessels to Halifax to
be dry-docked by the kindly favor
of Great Britain.-New York World.

The trail was declared closed, and a
thousand men went to work to put it
in shape. It is expected that the
trail would be made passable in ten
days from the time the men began
work on it, and that many viii be
enabled to get into the mines who.
without this concerted action, would

1t may not be generally known
that the American citizen who ''grub-
stakes man to prospect and work
mines on shares in the Klondike
country has only the personal honor
of the prospector to depend upon.
On the 2eth day of last June the
Canadian government put into effect
san act to restrict the importation
and employment of aliens" and this
law is directly applicable to the
4'grubstaking" system. By its pro-
visions all contracts or agreements,
express or implied, made between
any person or company and any
alien to perform labor or service in
Canada, previous to the arrival in
Canada of the person whose labor is
so contracted for, shall be void and
of no effect. Winch means that if
the grub-staked pilgrim from the
United States desires to deal honest.
Iy with the person or persons who
staked him he can do SO without fear
of being overhauled by the Canadian
authorities.

Can prompt surgical aid save the
life of man stabbed through the
heart? 1t has always been held that
any attempt to operate directly upon
the heart was worse than foolish, and
that to sew up lesion in the heart
proper without killing the patient
would be absolutely impossible, says
an exchange. Yet DIR. Rehe of
Frankfort, Germany, at meeting of
the surgical congress in Berlin re-
Gently, reported a successful opera
tion of the kind-the first in the his
tory of surgery-and produced his
patient living before the assembled
scientists to attest its truth, De
scribing the case, DIR. Rehe said the
man had been stabbed in the right
side of the heart. He was conveyed
with great haste to hospital and
taken directly to the operating room.
The surgeon laid bare the heart in
few seconds and found wound in
the right side of the organ. He
sewed up the orifice and applied
general treatment for arrestlng hem
orrhage. The heart worked violent
ly during the operation, but the COM
motion of the organ gradually sub
sided, and in due time the wound
healed and the patient recovered.

The election in New York City is
to be hotly-contested one, and no
one can foresee its results. Greater
New York has about $4,000 voters,
and between the two old parties they
are pretty evenly divided. In 1896
Mckinley had 283,119 votes, Bryan
225,616, Palmer 1865. In 1892
Cleveland had 294,679, Harrison
1888. In 1894 the Republican
vote was 224,oOO, Democratic 2O9,-
600, and Independent Democrat 49,.
600. In 1895 the vote IN state Off
GERS was Republican $4,000, Demo-
cratic $4,000. 1t will be seen from
this that the vote IS a fuetuating
one and contains a strong element
of independent voters, who hold The
balance of power.
