dian of Golden Gate Park.

Yesterday afternoon Fred w. Ziele was
installed as a Commissioner Of Golden
Gate Park. He succeeds Joseph Austin,
and was appointed by Governor Budd

guardians for the coming four years, and
remarked that he was happy to have the
ceSSOr.
Mr.. Zeile is not yet conversant with the
exact condition of the park, but contem-
plates making extensive improvements

Listen to a War Of

Judge Carroll Cook, with his judicial
confreres, Judges Borden, Wallace
Trout and Seawell, listened yesterday to
the arguments of counsel and prosecution
on the petition of the defense for the
freedom of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, alleged
poisoner, by habeas corpus.
1t was the first day of serious business
that has been permitted since the spec
tacular prosecution of Mrs. BotlIin was
begun. The horseplay the opera bouffe
effects and the lack-wit Interruptions that
have characterized the case on each occa-

It was a battle without bitterness and
with sharp argument instead of innuendo

AS a result of the scandalousIy ineffi-

work Of the Chinese Bureau has been
conducted the Secretary of the Treasury
notified Collector Jackson yesterday that

A Chinese Dinner.

In China, it appears, men generally
eat alone, and in any case it is not re-
spectful for either wife or son to sit
and eat in the masters presence.
Though mandarins occasionally give
expensive "feeds,' in which birds
nests. sharks fins, sea slugs and other
luxuries take prominent part. still in
their private life they are usually sim
pie. Even viceroy will occasionally
squat on his heels with plain bowl OF
rice in his hand and shovel it down
with chopsticks like common cody.
The usual course, however, is for the
meal to be served in the "library"-so
called from having no books in it-or
other vacant apartment In the private
court. There is never % regular "set"
repast-no knives, spoons or forks. No
tablecloth, cruet stand, mustard, pepper,
salt, bread or napkin.
A large bowl of hot rice is set down
on tea poy, or bookshelf; another
bowl, containing soup or rice water,
with perhaps u pigeons egg floating in
it, and q couple of saucers containing
an ounce or two of pork, sour cabbage,
salt duck, smoked ham, shrimps, etc.,
are placed near. The mandarin, placing
a tiny morsel of tasty stuff on the end
of his tongue to encourage the rice down
and give it zest, proceeds solemnly to
shovel away. Occasionally he may take
a glass or two of wine, or rather rice
spirit, always served hot, but half o
dozen of these would scarcely amount
in bulk to single glass of sherry. The
meal usually winds up with long pull
at the soup or rice water, and finally a
snooze. Magazine.

A good conscience and assurance of life

are the only securities.
Happiness For the Soul.
The souls happiness is too large
craft to sail up the stream Of worldly
pleasure. AS ship carpenters say, it
draws too much water. This earth is
bubble, and it will burst. This life is
vision, and it will soon pass away.
Time! 1t is only a ripple and it break
eth against the throne of Judgment.
Our days They fly swifter than shut
tie weaving for us robe of triumph or
garment Of shame. Begin your life
with religion and for its greatest trial
you will be ready. Every day will be
triumph, and death will be only a kings
servant calling you to a royal banquet.
In olden time the man who was to re-
ceive the honors of knighthood was re-
quired to spend the previous night fully
armed and with shield and lance to
walk up and down among the tombs Of
the dead Through all the hours Of that
night his steady step was heard, and
when morning dawned, amid grand pa
rade and the sound Of comets the honors
of knighthood were bestowed. Thus it
shall be with the good mans soul In
the night before heaven. Fully armed
with shield and sword and helmet, he
shall watch and wait until the darkness
fly and the morning break, and amid
the sound of celestial harpings the soul
shall take the honors of heaven amid
the innumerable throng with robes
snowy white streaming over seas Of sap
phire.
