spent the entire day yesterday in de-

should not be increased.
OF the entire number of counties it
was agreed to cite only San Francisco

the State board in 1896. Their Audi
tors returns, as fixed by their respec-
tive Boards of Supervisors, show the
assessed valuations for 1897 to be far
below those of 1896. while the State
board very materially increased those
for the latter year.

SHAWL STRAP FOR PETS.

The swell girl who is thoroughly I'D to date
no longer carries her pet dog as if it was a
tender infant. 1t Is not at all uncommon to
see a fashionably dressed woman walking
along carrying the curly object of her adora-
ton wrapped up in a contrivance that re-
semoles shawl strap. 1t is sort Of harness
with the strap fastened over the dogs hips
and another over his breast, after the fashion
OF the hame and the breechlng that form so
important feature Of the harness Of a horse,
At first thought it might seem as if the canine
swell would object to being suspended in mid
air in this way. Quite the contrary however.
Experience shows that it is much more COM
Portable than being squeezed and smothered
in the arms of his mistress or her maid no
matter how careful they try to move him
about. Moreover, since the harness is no
impeachment to the dog moving about on his
feet chain can be attached to the handle
and the little animal led along as easily as IL
he had no harness on at all.
All sorts Of dogs that are small enough for
pets are carried in this fashion. The new
style is very popular among all the young
women who own dogs, but the style Is not
limited to the younger members of the smart
set. The matron and the dowager also follow
1t with Scrupulous care. ~
For the winter season the carrying harness
and the blanket are combined. AS rule,
the blanket Is of corduroy, and keeps the
shiVering pet as warm as his mistress in her
furs. In color, the blanket is generally red!
and 1t is comical sight to see this red
blanket and behandled creature trailing along
at the side Of his mistress as she walks down
the street. or hanging Imply from the blanket
harness as 1t depends from the lady's hand
Prices of the carrying harness and blanket
vary considerably, ranging from S. to $40
each.
Sometimes the leather and the blanket are
embroidered with silver, and occasionally
gold ornaments glitter on the combination.i
Combine the gold collar set with diamonds,
and the gold and silver ornamented carrying
harness and blanket, and the result makes
the pampered dog of fashion almost as con-
spicuous an object as his pretty and richly,
dressed mistress. Upon stormy days, when
his mistress desires to give the small aristo-t
crat an airing, she can carry him in a newly
invented satchel, which answers the purpose
admirably. 1t is rounded In form, opens at
one side, and at end the leather Is upon
hinges and can be let entirely down or par
TALLY so, as may be desired. When this is
DONE q network OF leather or sometimes
silver wire is revealed, permitting the occu-
pant OF the queer-looking satcheI to breathe
all the fresh air 1t desires.

HAIRPINS DANGEROUS.
This Tiny Steel Convenience a Pro-
motor of Insanity.

A recent fashion in hairdresing is distin-
guished by Its most singular and unusual
origin. 1t has been adopted to preserve the
sanity OF the fair women who have had re-
course to it. Mental balance as 1t has long
been suspected and recently strongly affirmed
by physicians OF repute, is almost always in
Jured and frequently utterly undermined by
the wearing of hairpins.
And now that the truth Is out. women have
shown that there is at least one absurd fem
mime custom to which they are not so inds-
solubly bound by vanity that they must for
ever cling to it. And the very natural wish to
retain ones reason has been the means of
aboIlshlng the steel hairpin.
The head, argue the scientists who have
made study OF this matter, Is the most SEN
sitlve portion OF a woman's anatomy, and the
one which she frequently abuses the most
violently. She Is quite likely to fix upon a
nerve center as the permanent spot for doing
her coils of hair, or persistently to jab with
an ugly hairpin the regions which should be
kept free from the slightest touch. The back
OF the head is one of the most sensitive of
places, yet from the time woman first wears
long gowns until she dies she wilfully ignores
and detes this sensitiveness.
Is 1t any wonder then. continue the ply
sic!ans. that women should have become con-
sttutonally rattle-bra!ned. that their reason
ing power should be far inferior to that of
men, and that thousands OF them should be
committed to madhouses every year? These
causes are calamities not invariably referred
that very large proportion Of them are
attributable to the deadly hairpin.
When women were first confronted with the
statement of their unconscious SHINING
against themselves. they asked a trife in
dignantly. what could take the place Of the
hairpin, if it were once abolished. Surely it
would be impossible for self-respecting wom-
en- of middle-age to parade the streets with
their scanty hair in pigtails. This ad-
mitted and for a time the matter did look
rather dubious.
1t was suggested that all women might cut
off their hair and wear it in short, loose curls.
This again did not appeal to the digni1ed ma
jority, and so the following compromise was
finally hit upon. According to this scheme
the hair to be combed loosely back from
the forehead pompadour style. At the back 1t
was to be arranged in a loose yet cleverly
arranged knot and caught in place with a
single two-pronged blunt-edged shell comb.
When tried, this arrangemenr-was found to
work admirably. The absence of steel hair
pins made headaches more infrequent and the
daily coiffure a delightful and geefuly an
ticipated process. On the other hand, the
presence Of the shell comb was hardly notice
able, and contributed not at all to the wear
ers discomfort. And finally the new method
was found to be more becoming than any

them are short-lived. They grow up
weak and spindling. Why? Tell me
what to do in order to have plants that
are vigorous when the time comes to
put them out in the ground"
That seedlings can be grown in the
house in such a way as to be strong
and healthy is something beyond dis
pute, but that they will be grown so
by the amateur is doubtful, unless they
are willing to be governed by instruc-
tiGns which seem hardly necessary.
But that they are necessary in order to
insure success, all who have attempted
to grow seedlings will admit
Seedlings require much more care
during the early stages Of their exist
ence, than any other plants, because
they they have not as yet become we'll
established. They are like delicate
children. Treat them as you would
grown people, and very likely you will
lose them, but care for them judicious-
~, and in accordance with their deli
cate constitutions, and by degrees they
will be toughened and hardened
But this "toughening" process must
be gradual and carried out on intelli-
gent lines in order to be successful.
Some people think that the prepared
seed box and the seed all that is nee

possible. for, after all, this is the secret of
success In early seed growing, and the near
est we come to it the nearer we will be to
carrying out the Just right theory.
1t is lest to accustom the plants very grad
ually to the outdoor air. AS soon as the
weather will admit Of it, put the boxes Of
seedlings out on the Verandah for a little
while during that portion of the day when
the sun shines most warmly. This should
not be done too early in the morning and
they should not be left out too late. If they
wind will not blow upon them and the chill
of the early morning and the late afternoon
avoided, they VIII be benefited rather than
harmed. Sun heat is the natural heat Of the
plant, and it can hardly have too much of 1t
at this time Of the year.
When strong, healthy growth has been
secured IN the seed boxes, there will be very
little danger Of loss when they are trans
planted. but 1t is best not to be in hurry
about putting the plants in their outdoor
beds. We are almost sure to have cold
spells after warm weather seems to have
often 1n1ure the plants so severely that they
VIII be long time in recovering from it;
so long. in fact, that they are often distanced
by the plants that were outdoor sown.
If possible, choose a warm, cloudy day for
transplanting them. Then If a warm rain
growth without show Of willing II sunny
when transplanted, shade the young plants
with papers he'd In place with sticks or
stones. See that the roots are disturbed as
little as possible and press the soil firmly
about the roots after transplanting Water
well after putting them in the ground spray
ing the plants as well as moistening the soil
and keep them shaded from the sun for two
or three days until the roots have had a
chance to get hold In the new soil.
