The San Francisco call., 1903-12-15
President William Babcock Conducts
Formally in Presence of
Prominent Citizens.

With simple yet appropriate cere-
mony The cornerstone of the new
Merchants Exchange was laid yester-
day at noon in the presence Of a large
number OF prominent business men Of
san Francisco.
The new quarters Of the Merchants
Exchange were the center Of interest
yesterday in business circles. Invita-
tions were sent out and accepted by
the directors and officials Of the various

showing rancy lace-like weaves and en-
broidered effects. Macrame is intro
duced to give the note of novelty, the
stock itself in most instances being quite
simple and plain, with a fancy tab in
front edged with macrame and possibly
a tiny tassel in addition. The tassel is
the dominant new note in the fall neck
wear, and some of the smartest stocks
are festooned all around with tassels
attached to inlet motifs of some sheer
material or soft silk. Considerable
vogue is anticipated for macrame
trimmed stocks and likewise for broad
collars of this lace which is enjoying
considerable favor at present in Paris.
Fringe, in company with tassels and
pendants, figures on many OF the TALL
stocks, more particularly those fash
ioned from crepe de chine, and similar
sheer fabrics and soft silk, and striking
ly pretty effects are obtained with or
namentation of this kind in self or con-
trasting tone. These fringed stocks
suggest the old-time jabot, but it is
a glorified jabot, with none of the stiff-
ness of the old-fashioned article. The
turnover collar and cuff sets in plain
and embroidered linen and the newer
Teneriffe work appear in variety that is
bewildering and it is predicted that later
on these matched sets will be found in
silk and chiffon prettily embroidered.
In drawn work stocks are in many ef-
fective designs, and the mannish types
are noticeable for their style and smart
ness. In the wash goods are included
the numerous strips of embroidery or
cambria which some women prefer to
the tight-fitting stock, while the fancy
lace collars are found in practically
endless collection, ranging from the
dainty little stock to the elaborate Shout
der cape with stole ends. Broad collars
and collars with stole ends promise to
receive marked attention during the
coming season, and so, too, do soft
scarfs of crepe de chine and like, mate
rails, set off with decoration of Ten
eriffe wheels. So numerous are the new
productions that but hint can be given
of their range and variety, but the ac-
companying illustrations represent q
few of the newest and most distinctive
models. Neckwear covers such large
field that the most exacting woman is
sure to find that which will suit her
fancy, and there is no excuse for the
girl or woman who fails to obtain be-
coming stocks and scarfs and colla-s
from the display for the present ard
coming season.-Brooklyn Eagle.

NEcKWEAR FOR AUTUMN.
Never Have There Been Greater Or
portunitics for the Selection
Of Pretty Styles.

Never has more attention been paid to-
the dressing of the neck by maid and
matron than at the present time, and
never have there been greater opportu-
mites for the selection of becoming
styles than in this year of grace. II
it be the strictly tailored, mannish type
of collar or scarf that is demanded. the
dainty, frilly fascinating stock or cape
or the immense array of simple pretty
styles midway between these two ex-
tremes, and from which the majority
of women make their choice, all tastes
can be thoroughly satisfied with the out
put for this and the coming season.
If the spring and summer styles were
attractive and delightful enough totempt
the average woman into extravaganza,
and make her sigh for an unlimited bank
account, the fall productions are even
more fascinating, for the good points
of their predecessors have all been re-
tanned and some extra little touches add
ed that give distinctive and altogether
alluring air. Some exceedingly pretty
novelties have been brought outin stocks

CHARMING FANCY WORK.
Days of Our Gran d m OF theirs, Again
Coming Into Favor.

There never was time when lace
was so much in request, and there IS
a renaissance of some of the older
kinds, such as netting, crochet and
Eating. The only requisites for tat
ting are bone shuttle, crochet hook
and coarse thread. In choosing tho
shuttle select one which has the two
halves coming together at the points
so as not to let the thread escape
while working, and also that it shall
not catch in the work. The two parts
should just meet, so that the thread,
in pushing through, should cause
slight click.
The two illustrations OF the hands
show the way the thread Is passed
should be held. Having filled your
shuttle with thread, take it in your
right hand between thumb and first
finger, take the end of the thread with
your left and hold in position firmly
with thumb and forednger and pass
the thread outward around the fingers,
which should be spread out, and bring
it round to the end and hold both with
finger and thumb firmly, as in Fig. L.
pass the thread over to the left and
bring the shuttle down on the right
side OF the thread he'd pretty taut by
the spread fingers, carry it under the
thread and bring it up on the loft side
between the taut thread and the shut
tie thread (Which was thrown over
from the finger and thumb). This will
make single knot
The spread fingers must now be
relaxed and the shuttle thread held
taut to bring the knot into position
and so that the thread round the hand
shall be over the shuttle thread and
allow the latter to be drawn back and
forth through the middle of the knot.
This so far is only single knot. Now
let the shuttle thread hang loose on
the right side of the thread around
the hand and pass the shuttle on the
left under the thread and bring up on
the right, as in Fig. 2; relax the fin
gers, tighten the shuttle thread and
carefully draw up close to the other
single knot. Now you have double
knot. See that the shuttle thread
comes through the middle; otherwise
when you have all your knots made
the thread would not draw, and it
would, therefore, be no use.

the stitch, but instead of making the

never MIND.

Are you blue, little boy, are you angry and
~> sore,
With the way things have happened to-
day?
Have you borne all you can. till you can
stand no more,
Are you fretted and hurt to your very
hearts core,
And cruelty robbed of your play?
Never mind, never mind, the day will soon
end,
And with it your trials 80 sore;
For doubtless happy tomorrow you'll
spend,
And kindness and love shall your broken
heart mend,
And troubles remember no more.
Are you grieved, little maid, do you think
you're abused,
BY playmate or teacher or friend,
A victim of falsehood, unjustly accused.
Your hearts dearest wishes unkindly re-
fused,
TIL you almost wish life at an end?
To-day may be rainy and every thing drear,
And nature enveloped in gloom;
In sunshine tomorrow, the day will be
clear,
Each lingering raindrop diamond appear
The flowers in the fields all abloom.

knots with the thread around the fin
gers over the thread in the shuttle, l
kept the thread around the fingers too
tight and made the knot with the
shuttle thread over it instead of vice
versa. The consequence was I could
make one hole and draw it with the
end of the thread, but, of course,
could make no more.
When the shuttle is passed under
the thread around the fingers the fin
gers must be spread and the thread
held tightly around them. The mo-
ment the shuttle comes up on the 9TH
er side the fingers must be relaxed
and the shuttle thread held tightly.
All the time, of course, the circle of
thread around the hand is held firmly
by the finger and thumb. The only
way to do it is to try over and over
again. Having once mastered this
initial difficulty, the rest is easy.
For simple trimming which can be
used on the edge of tucks or ruffles
stitch two rows of machine stitching
about a quarter of an inch apart and
the same distance from the edge.
Then, with a contrasting color, or the
same color as the goods of Roman
floss or heavy mercerized cotton, run
the threads diagonally through every
other machine stitch, which should be
long, in order to permit the thread to
run through easily.-Good Housekeep-

The maiden who tans becomingly IL
a hard thing to find, while as for those
who blister and burn on the slightest
provocation their name is legion. It
is we'll for the ordinary woman, there
fore, to forego her desire for healthy
tan and take little care of her COM
plexion. Powder is a great protection
against the ravages of the weather and
above all things, the face should not
be washed with soap and water at the
conclusion of an outing. Peeled noses
and blistered cheeks are almost certain
to result from such treatment. In
stead cleansing cream should be lib
orally applied. If soap must be used.
the mildest of paste soaps should be
selected, with a little borax in the
water, and a good skin food should
be rubbed in the skin afterward.-Chi-

which the bird possesses, and which,
according to some,. is very like the

THE BOYDAYS.

The hkydays-the boydays-they were tue

Through all the bushes Of the years the
bOydays ever call;
Out Of the darkness of the night respleno-
entity they shine;
And what a wreath Of memories 1or one
and all they Irvine!
No matter what Of baser stun the 4a'e'
years may hold. ..
We may look up and back and see the boy
days all were gold.

threads of gray,
You NAV live in Tomorrow, but you dream
of Yesterday;
You may look In the mirror. but the only
face you see 81
u one that has the semblance Of the boy
you used to be:
And, musing, you may stumble on broken
bit of song
That wanders from the boydays In
cadence sweet and strong.
The boydays-- a picture with not hue 10

The glamour of the grasses where the sum-
mer sunshine played;
The sparkle Of the ripple in some jolly nt''e
stream
Whose song was built of jewels Of a never

The noddng of the roses; and the white
ness OF the snow
They blend across the picture OF the long

The boydays-the boydays-we never lose
them all; n
The best OF all the memories, they come at
fancy's call a.
Somehow they are made perfect by tho
alchemy Of years.
Which keeps alive the smiles they held ana
never finds the tears.
The heart IS but a treasure chest our pre-
cious things to hold.
And chiefest Of the goodly store is all the

NBillx and the Artists.

Billy's sister is the organist Of the
church in the country town where the
family spends its summers, and Billy
blows the old-fashioned instrument
upon which his sister performs. Some
day, however, Billy will be an artist
himself if his present spirit of pride
in his work persists. Still, although
he enjoys his task, the rs cents he
earns every Sunday is much appre-
ciated by him. A concert was given
in the church in aid of local charity,
and the singers and quite a number
of artists" who summer in the vii
lage, and whose services usually COM
mand big remuneration. volunteered
their services. When the concert was
over, the choirmaster came to Billy,
who had enjoyed greatly the impor-
lance of the occasion and his share in
It, and held out a quarter to pay the
boy for his work. Billy looked up in
grieved surprise. "Why, say" said
he, "aren't the rest of the talent Civ
ing their services for nothing?"

A TALK ABOUT AXES.
improvements In W0Olcraft Effected
by Civilization Described i'm
Word and Picture.

Both in America and Europe stone
implements have been found, made by
the aborigines and undoubtedly meant
for cutting and hacking timber. The
shape varies greatly, and there are
numerous degrees of sharpness. Oc-
casionally by chipping and grinding
something like an edge was produced.
but this was rarely comparable to that
obtained with metal It is hard to
understand how wood which was tough
and hard could be hewn with these
axes. OF course, the primitive man did
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1903-10-29

not handle such heavy timber or do
such fine fitting as his successors, and
yet he accomplished wonders.
Dr. John Clifford, of the New York
State College of Forestry, compares
the implements of prehistoric days
with those of to-day, in Forestry and
Irrigation. From his illustrations we
reproduce q few specimens. At the
left are some more advanced forms Of
stone axe, and at the right three repre-
sentatives of modern times. The two
axes having handles, with their heads
downward, are the American single
bitted and double bitted types, and the
one having it's head uppermost and
having a straight handle is of German
manufacture. The Indians fastened
their axeheads upon wooden handles
with stout thongs. In order to derive
a correct idea of the relative size of
these axes, one should imagine that
of the stone implements to be reduced
one-third in comparison with the metal
ones. DR.. Clifford says:
"The axe had it's beginning in a
pounding implement of rough stone
1t gradually developed into tool with
an edge for hacking and a pole for
pounding. Its efficiency was finally
increased by the addition of a handle
1t has remained combined pounding
and cutting implement up to the time
of the manufacture of the double bitt-
ed steel axe. A chopper goes into the
woods to cut, and the larger the cut
ting edge at his disposal the better,
but as tool for general utility the
double bitted is inferior to the common
single bitted axe with curved hickory
handle.
"A good axe should be solid steel.
1t is said that handmade axes tenn
pered by the heat of natural gas are
the BEST It should have a curved
blade, with bullying faces; such an axe
throws out the chips and does not
stick. These carefully proportional
curves give to the American axe its great
efficiency. A professor of art in Ger
many once said that thing with ar
tistic lines is usually thing of great
est utility, and he gave as an illus
tration the American axe. German
axes radically differ from the common
American axe, but are not so clumsy
and inefficient as they appear at first
sight"
Fishes Sensitive to Sound.
The sense of hearing in fishes is still
matter of uncertainty. They have no
ears resembling those Of the higher ami
mails, but they are sensitive to sound in
some degree, although it is doubtful if
this can be called hearing. Late expert
ments by DR.. Zenneck, Of Strassburg,
show something of the degree of sensi-
tiveness. The sound of a bell in the wa
ter caused roach, dace and bleak to dart
away if within ten feet or to show signs
of disturbance if within rs feet When the
bell was muf11ed and in a pail, the fish
were slightly disturbed.
