that accounts for his knowlege of teeth,

Blakeslee, he knows all about making
them bite, and after they are caught
he is SO skilled in the science of anat-

MORE LARGE STEAMERS
PLANS OF THE PACIFIC MAIL
COMPANY.
Two Pacific Liners That will be Sur
passed Only by the Oceanic and
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse.

SAN FRANCISCO, February L.
Early in 1901 the Pacific Mail Com
pany's fleet will be increased by two
of the largest steamers ever built IN
the United States, and the equal of
any of the trans Atlantic liners with
the exception OF the Oceanic and Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. They are to dis
place about 1S,40O tons, and will steam
close to twenty knots an hour in their
passage between San Francisco and
the Orient. There will be luxurious
apartments for $50 first-class passen-
gers, their staterooms, olning and
smoking rooms, social halls Libraries
and grand saloons being placed amid
ship, while aft and forward there will
be ample accommodations for 1900
steerage passengers.
The steamers will be 575 feet in
length over all, or $50 feet between
perpendiculars. The nodded beam will
be SO feet, while the depth of hold will
be 40 feet. The gross tonnage will be
$4,000, which is the same size as the
Campania, Lucania, Cymric, Graf
Waldersee and Pennsylvania They
will both be driven by quadruple eX-
pansion engines, the total indicated
horse power of which will be $4,000. The
cylinders of these engines will each
measure 80, so, 20 and 100 inches in
diameter, by 66-inch stroke of piston
In each ship there will be six double
ended and two single-ended cylindrical
Scotch boilers, each 16 feet in diameter.
The working pressure will be 200
pounds to the square inch. All modern
accessories, such as electric lighting
plant, ice-making machine, steam
steering gear, etc, will be included in
the general outfit.
The first of the new steamers will be
called the California and she will be
ready for service about January next.
The pioneer steamer of the Pacific
Mail Company was the California
which sailed from New York for San
Francisco on October g. 1S4S. She was
side-wheeler of 1886 tons, and did
yeoman service for the concern.

MEMORANDA.

The British ship Aspice lost a life
buoy overheard in Lat. A s., 161 E.. on
December 25th. Captain Bremner
thinks that the buoy will drift to New

the harbor last night, made the trip
from San Francisco in fifteen days.
The American Maru was sighted at
about five o'clock this morning, COM

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

The extremely warm weather which
has prevailed for the past two weeks or
over is unprecedented in the record of
the city and state. For continuous and
unbroken heat 1t has been not only I'M
exampled, but it has been totally at va
rance with what have come to be re-
garded as the settled meteorological con-
ditions of this section.
Notwithstanding the sense of physical
exhaustion which the extreme heat has
brought with it to the average citizen, it
is a very gratifying circumstance that
there has been not a single authenticated
case of serious injury coming to any of
our people from the abnormal conditions
which have prevailed.
One needs but to recall the pitiful ex-
periences Of the people of the large cit
midsummer to feel happy in the rehec-
ton that sanitary and typographical con-
ditions are such in st. Paul as to render
any loss of life as the result of the pro-
impossibility.
The next twenty-four hours will surely
afford the people the relief which they
have been so anxiously looking for. The
delightful weather which distinguishes
the summer in this section will again
come to us, and the glorious and golden
days of the early fall will more than
compensate for the discomfort which has
come to SO many Of u.s.
With the mercury at 96-the maximum
which it has reached-life in st. Paul is
as enjoyable as it may be said to be in
the ordinary city during the normal con-
ditions Of temperature, just as 25 or 30
degrees below zero with US means much
more endurable conditions in winter than
PREVAIL in other sections at zero or above

ANOTHER VIEW OF CHINA


The United States is civilized; it has
about 7O,OOO,OOO people. 1t is the strong
est power in the world today, and this is
mainly due to the fact that 1t is civilized.
China has 100000 people, a huge mass
OF humanity, i'll directed and ignorant,
from our standpoint. 1t has no place in
civilization, and is not one of the pow
ers." Yet its population equals all that
Of continental Europe, and is seven times
that of the United States.
There is apparently nothing between
China and power proportionate to her
strength in populaton-that is, seven
times as much power as this country pos
sesses-but civilization and that consists
Of a certain moral and mental process
which the present civilized nations are
doing their best to introduce into the
Orient. Missions are teaching it, and
millions Of dollars are being contributed
every year for this work; merchants
from Europe and America are furnishing
object lessons in Western business meth
DDS, and the talk Of making something
better than q laundryman out of John
Chinaman gees on in dead earnest. If
the laundryman should be advanced ma
terially that would mean an immense
Improvement in the Chinese character
as a whole, for the representatives of
the race seen in this country, who take
to laundry work, are in China what the
''poor white trash are in the South
ern states. The best Chinese manhood
Is found In Northern China, and does
not emigrate. This class is quick to
learn, and could, no doubt, take to the
ways of civilization quite readily.
How long VIII 1t be before these Chi
nese discover that the civilized powers
are offering them the very means of
placing the rest of the world at their
mercy? They are conservatives" now,
and no doubt have been happy in that
condition so long as they were per
mitted to go about their own business
unmolested. But the presence of the
European and the Western Industrial
spirit must now be accepted as a per-
manent fixture, and the question about
TO confront China is whether it shall
rule or be ruled. How do the civilized
nations rule, defend themselves and
maintain their national integrity? Simply
by possessing knowledge Of the best in
modern progress, which has reduced the
art of offense and defense to a science.
The Chinese will soon see that they must
remain under the thumb of outsiders un-
less they embrace modern progress and
encourage the introduction of civilization
into their country. Even If half of

SPEAKS For THE NEW SOUTH


The South is TO be congratulated on the
presence among its sons. of patriots and
brave men of the order of Gen. John 3.
Gordon. File has within the past few
months indicated anew ths good name
and the good sense of the people of the
South and has given an example of true
patriotic devotion which should not he
lost on the people of any section what,
ever Of the country.
Whatever of apparent magnanimity has
presented itself in the action of Union
veterans or in the policy adopted by the
people Of the former Urion states in
their treatment OF the Southern people
in recent years has been more than justi-
fed by the response which the South has
will which have come from the men of
the North
When the Spanish war broke out no
section of our common country more
promptly or more generously volunteered
the aid of its young men than did the
South Every Southern state sent its
quota Of men to the front and every
Southern man who enlisted marched be-
meath the Stars and Stripes, against
which his fathers had battled, with all
the enthusiasm and devotion that could
have animated any man north OF Mason
and Dixcn's line.
1t is not to be taken as at all ex-
ceptionaI that there are to be found
among the men who fought for the lost
cause of the Confederacy few who re-
main irreconcilable. The man who cried
out at the Atlanta reunion that the
South should not accept anything from
the Yankees is but type of the intol-
Grant mortal who still lives in the bit
terness of the past. lie but acts as a
foil to the great mass of the veterans
of both sides, who have all agreed that
they are citizens of a common country,
are better secured and are to lie cast
along altogether higher and grander lines
than they would have been had the South
won. Slavery could not have survived IN
any event. The public opinion of the
world would have forced some form OF
Tnauumission from the South before the
nineteenth century could have come to a
close; and the most palpable result OF the
struggle of the South would have been to
present to the world, as expressive of the
idea of free American government, not
one grand prosperous and unconauerable
republic, but, it might we'll be, number
of warning states whose social institu-
lions were made to rest on the principle
of human slavery.
The response made by Gen. Gordon to
the camp of Confederate veterans at New
Orleans is worthy Of its brave and chiv,
alrous author. 1t is worthy, moreover,
of the Southern people. He speaks for
them. The men whose narrow concep-
tons OF American patriotism called forth
that response are to be thanked after a
fashion for the admirable object lesson
which they have helped to offer of the de-
votion of the mass of Southern society to
the flag and the institutions of their
country.

ECONOMY OF TABLE LINEN.
Something About Its Selection and
It's Care.


It's Care.
Every woman Of refinement loves to be
the possessor of a liberal quantity Of fine
dining room and table linen. 10 achieve
this desire it is necessary to use a great
amount of discretion in the collection Of
her linens and in the care of them after
they are collected. There is a pleasure III
the possession of fine linens even surpass-
Ing that in the possession of fine glass or
china. for no matter how fine the quality
Of the Gishes may be, half the charm is
lost when they are placed upon cheap,
slazy or illy-Iaundered cloth. Then again,
the dura biiity of really good linen adds
greatly to the pleasure of its possessor.
Every dollar added to the amount raid
for table cloth is an economy, for its
wearing qualities are increased at o.
greater ratio in linen than III almost any
thing else. A table Goth measuring two
and half yards and costing s. will wear
| three times as long as a cloth ar &
! yard. This is not the only advantage IN
| be considered. The quality of the {inrn
! SHOWS at a glance the difference between
| a cheap cloth and an expensive one; the
! patterns and designs are far more attrac-
| 1--WE and there Is a fullness and q body

! least, is the pleasure of knowing that Won

/ and always give pleasure to its Owner
! Cloths that have a border around them
are to be preferred to the linen b5I,gtt
by the yard. Linens should ALWAYS bs
! hemmed by hand, and an initial embrofI-
| cred on them in white cotton.
AS to laundering of linens there shCuI5

carving cloths, center pieces. bOuffet COW
ers, tray covers and doyleys may be kept
IN boxes of suitable size. All embr5i6er-
ed pieces should be. separately washed
and most carefully ironed. An iron should

China remained In ignorance, what would
the Western powers do with 25O O0O,0 900
educated, progressive Cinnamon, using
the same methods we do, making their
own ships, guns, ammunition and forts?
Why, that would be the greatest power
in the world, and while 1T cannot be ex-
pected that such a condition would ma
terialize in the near future, the tendency
is in that direction. In fact, 1t is
doubly so, for are we not sending teach
ers to plead, and soldiers to suggest to
the heather their best means Of self
| defense?
Yet progress must go on. To be pro-
gressive and try to make others SO is a
duty belonging to those who enjoy the
blessings of advanced civilization. 1t
would not be possible to form a close
corporation of civilization for the pur-
pose Of preventing It's spread beyond
the confines of the white race, nor
would 1T be a Christian act to attempt
it. The dark spots on the old earth
cannot remain dark forever. We must
go on steadily until the highest and best
conception of human existence obtains in
all lands. But the realization of that
condition will bring some great changes
At least 1t can be predicted that when
China becomes civilized, like the rest OF
US, some Of the Western powers that
now have their soldiers in Pel1fn will
sing in low, meek tone of voice in
dealing with the awakened giant.
