In the afternoon and evening the parks

throngs who had not been able or did not
care to be present at the exercises in the
pavilion or tabernacle, and these breathing
places of the city presented gala attire,
with the many visitors in summer garments.
There was but one decoration throughout
the city-Stars and Stripes, Stars and
Stripes, here and everywhere The proud
emblem of freedom waved from masts,
flagstaffs, poles. balconies, buntlines, roofs,
cornices, porches and windows. If a statis-
tician could be found to count the flags
that flew in the breeze at Los Angeles yes
terday and measure them, the result of
his calculations would give distance that
would reach from San Francisco to Tucson.
The festivities concluded with a splendid
display of fireworks at Agricultural park,
in which many pieces which were very a.

of an immense crowd that had gathered to

La Fayette Day at Silver Peak.

A correspondent at Silver Peak
sends the following:
The friends of Silver Peak school
were invited to attend the exercises
on Friday afternoon, held in accord
ance with the plans of La Fayette
Commission. The exercises were
simple and short, but were the result
of hard study and diligent training
on the part of the pupils and teacher,
Miss Meserve.
The walls of the school room were
prettily decorated with pictures of
great men, and the black board was
covered with fanciful and tasty draw
ings by the children, as described by
the homemade exercises of the after
noon, which are quoted below.
First on the program was Amer
lea, sung by the school. Then fol-
lowed an exercise regarding Ameri-
cas- heroes. Each child spoke in be-
half of some man whe should wear a
laurel crown, but it was decided that
all should wear one-all were so wor-
thy. Here follows an original epic
poem, setting forth the valorous acts
of our country's heroes, but owing to
the rush of election work we are
unable to publish it. Ed.
The decorations of the room, which
were described in the poem, were
unique and showed much labor and
skill. Then followed simple exer'
else in 4" Magic Dates. The proml-
nent dates of his life had been writ
ten over the board, and the children
found them and connected the dates
with his life. No facts were omitted
not even CORVALLIS, who talked
bic over the boy commander, but got
beaten all the same, as one little
fellow said. The dates ended witt
the purpose of the monument IN th'
Pasis Exposition.
This was followed by simple
game. Each child left the room fol
n moment while the remainder de
cided which of the American com
manders in the Summers war ht
should be. The children were cage
in the sport, quick to give the RICH
ones, showing much knowledge o
the doings OF the commanders an'
their traits. This closed the pro
cram. The collection amounted tx
$3.50. far exceeding the most san
guine hopes of the children,

there IS ore enough in sight to pay

are taking out this ore on the sur

and has a streak of rich ore about
six inches wide. The boys will have
a nice lot of ore out for crushing by

Birds as Surgeons.

Some interesting observations made
by NJ. Fatio on the surgical treatment
Of wounds by birds were recently
brought before the Physical society Of
Geneva In these it was established
that the snipe had often been observed
In repairing damages With its beak
and feathers it makes very creditable
dressing and has even been known to
secure broken limb by means of a stout
ligature On one occasion NJ. Fatio
killed snipe which had on its chest a
large dressing composed of down from
other parts of the body and securely
fixed to the body by coagulated blood.
Twice he had snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped OH to the site of a
fracture Of one or other limb. The most
interesting example was that of snipe
both of whose legs lie had unfortunately
broken by misdirected shot He only
recovered it ON the following day, when
he found that the wounded bird had
contrived to apply dressings and a sort
Of splint to both limbs. In carrying out
this operation some feathers had become
entangled round the beak, and not be-
ing able to use its claws to get rid of
them the poor creature was almost dead
from hunger when found - Public

Wooden Clogs In Japan.

1.-THE Little Japanese at Home" is
the title Of an article by Miss Ida Tigner
Hodnett in st. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett
says:
Tabi (tah-bee), socks of blue or white
cotton cloth, are worn on the little feet.
They are made like mittens, with q
place for the great toe separate from
the others, so as to allow the strap
which fastens on the clogs to pass be-
tween. The clogs are made of wood and
have two little wooden pegs under the
soles, high or low, according to the
taste of the wearer, but in either case
capable Of making a great clatter on
wood, stone or pebbles. Fortunately it
is not the custom to wear any footgear
besides the socks in the house. The sin.
gle strap divides into two parts, which
pass on each side Of the foot and fasten
to the clog. These straps, or thongs, on
little girls clogs are sometimes gayly
colored. With but one fastening, it il
an easy matter to take of the clogs
when entering q house and leave them
ON the veranda, and the custom is Ger
tainly conducive to tidiness. It Is q
necessary custom, for the clogs would be
ruinous to the fine soft mats COVERING
the floor.
Complexion is another important and
interesting point to the japanese girl as
we'll as to her American and European
sisters.

NO GROG IN OUR NAVY.
Nevertheless Uncle Sans Seamen Are

Nevertheless Uncle Sans Seamen Are q
Match For Any Nation.
The practice Of serving out q ration
Of grog daily to United States man-of-
wars men was discontinued many years
ago. 1t was found to be bad scheme.
While most of the men were able to use
the rum i'll moderation, it was found
that there were many of the bluejackets
in whom the service of ration of liquor
only served to stimulate an appetite
for more, and who, after imbibing the
ships grog, would "hit the beach" en-
bark upon sizeabls sprees and get into
scrapes both ashore and aboard ship
when they returned to duty more or
less shaky. When these facts were sat
isfactorily proved, the serving out of
grog to United States man. of war; men
was discontinued. Sailors in all of the
others Of the worlds great navies still
receive their daily grog.
The fact probably does not prove any
thing, but the writer, who has seen
man-of-war's men of all nations on tu-
multuous shore liberty in quite few
ports of the world, has yet to see a
French, Italian or Spanish bluejacket
thrash British man Of war's man in a
fair stand up fight, such as heavy
weather men Of the navy are bound to
mix up in when engaged in hitting the
beach The reason why the fact prob
ably proves nothing is that the Ameri-
can man-of-war's man, who gets no grog
at all aboard his fighting packet, also
invariably contrives to chew up his
Latin antagonist in naval uniform.
The only thing that the average old
time American bluejacket likes better
in port on the China station, say, than
fight with French, Italian or Span
ish man-ofwar's man, is a fight with
three or four of 'em put together The
Latin sailors may scratch him up bit
with their finger nails-their methods
Of fighting may be judged from this fact
but when the cops, otherwise the
gendarmes, appear on the scene-to get
mauled around a heap themselves in
many cases-they generally have few
