SOLD HER HUSBANDS CRAVE,
How . Southern Woman MaAs . Pref. ltabls Speculation on City
 Cemetery Lot.

"One of those things which 90 to show that where there is . will there is . way is we'll exemplined by . happening in { certain southern city," said . we'll. known former railroad man in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "A man bs. fore his marriage had purchased q beautifully located lot in the city cem. etery and paid $1O0 for 1t. After awhile he married and some ten or twelve year. afterward died and was buried in the aforesaid beautifully located lot and hi. grave was carefully attended for awhile by hts widow.
 ''When the big show came oil in Chi. cago and all the world was on route to that mecca the widow took a notion shs must see the show. As a result oi long oogitation over ways and meanl she had the body of her deceased bus. band exhumed and railroaded 50 miles away and reburied at cost of about $75, when she sold the cemetery lot fol $500 and had . good old time at the bis worlds fair. Somewhat of . hnancier wasn't she?"

THERMOMETER TALES.
One Patient Sucked the Little Instfu- nent and Another Thought 1t
 Was Drink.

To people who are fortunately unfa- miliar with sickness the thermometers used in taking the temperature of pa- tients are always a source of consider able interest. A professional nurse whose experience has led her to numer- ous localities and brought her in con- tact with many phases of life tells two stories which illustrate the foregoing statement, says the New York Times.
 In one of the local hospitals she had male patien, who was threatened with Q run of fever. As she approached his bedside one morning he Querulously complained of lack of nourishment.
 q didn't get enough to eat." he said. T feel almost starved"
 ''Well, we'll" she said, soothingly. i've will see about that. Here" she added. "let me put this in your mouth" !"
 She inserted the thermometer be- tween his teeth and turned away mo- ment. When she looked back he was working the bulb around between his jaws at great rate.
 'Hold on!" she cried. you will break the thermometer!
 He drew in his cheeks and apparently gave mighty pull on the little instru- ment, and then she removed 1t.
 Say" he grumbled, there's no use giving me that. couldn't suck blame thing out of It."
 Another patient, a woman. begged the nurse for drink
 Wait" said the nurse, and thrust tho thermometer in her mouth.
 The patient lay back on her pillow and placidly closed her eyes. A satisfied ex- pression slowly stole over her face. When the time was up the nurse with drew the tube.
 Why" said the patient. with sigh of qualification, what lot of good . little thing like that will do you!"

Glass.Makfn1 in Japa,.

The art of making glass was intro duced into Japan about 150 years aga by q Hollander, who settled at Osaka. For several generations the knowledge of the process was confined to . single family. and it was not until about 1873 that the employment of coal instead of charcoal. and the construction of brick ehimneys, enabled the manufacturer to introduce improvements which rlaced the industry on substantial basis. Osaka has continued to be the center of the industry. and now manu- factures for export besides supplying the home demand.

THEIR OWN BARBERS.
That More Men Than Ever Be- fore Shave Themselves.

There are sold in this country to- lay" said g cutlery man, according to the New York Sun. "a hundred times as many razors as were sold here 70 years ago
 Some share of this increase is due. of course. to the advance in population. but the greater part Is due to the large increase in the proportion of men who shave themselves.-M More men than ever before now possess this polite art.
 With a greater number of individ- dal users of raxors there are, of course. many more razors now sold. And. of course. plenty of men own more than one razor; everyone ought to own two. It least, as many men do. One good razor properly cared for might serve Hs purpose eontinuously and well for . long time without regrinAing or hon. ing. but m accident might happen to 1t, and against that . man guards by having at least one extra razor.
 Many mea buy sets of seven razors. one for each day in the week. and there arc mon who have sets of 31 raxors, one for every day in the month. And tray. slers going to distant countries and into regions where facilities would bs lack ing buy cases of razors to take with them. A traveller stsrting out with . case of half . dozen razors in perfect condition would have . razor outfit Chat, with such care as he could be- stow upon 1t himself. would serve him we'll for years.
 "The best razor that can be made can bs bought with a plain handle for two dollars; anything more than that in the cost of 1t would be in tho mounting in pearl handles and so on. You can buy case of seven nns razors, sim- ply mounted. for $12. or you can pay s5o or more for . case of rasors with tho same blades, but with hns mount. ings and in . finer case"

NEW USE FOR OLD CUPS.
Are Just the Thing for the Mayon. naise Dressing Thinks .
 Housewife.

Tho ingenious woman has discovered . new use for her old.fashioned cups and odd cups They have long been good for nothing in particular on account of their large size and because they have no handles. Yet these big cups are ex- actly the shape of many of the mayon. naise dishes, and may be used to ad- vantage for this purpose, says the Washington Star.
 With the preaching of the doctrines of salads by the apostles of good health there has been an increasing use of let tuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables of different kinds served cold with dressings. In consequence the mayonnaise cup has become staple article of table service. Many people prefer the French dressing to the rich CT mayonnaise; some larger quanti- ty than others. It is advisable to have . dish of dressing upon the table. in- stead of dressing the individual salad beforehand.
 The dishes made for holding mayon- naise are to be found in different shapes. Some are oblong, like small sauce boats with a flat rather than looped ham, dle at the end. Others are round like cups They will all h bid perhaps half pint, and the saucers to match are round or oblong, according to the shape of the dish. The round dishes are noth- ing more or less than large cups.
 The woman who makes the most of everything utilizes cups that she has or picks up at the bargain table, and has an up-to-date article of table service with little or no expense.

STYLISH HOME GOWNS.
Popular Materials and Designs fsS Evening and Reception
 Wear.

Lace gowns are thought exceedingly smart for reception wear. and can be either all black or all white, while there are some most attractive models in the black lace over white or colored lin- ing, says Harper's Bazar. Black and white effects, however, are not thought so smart as they were. Black, white or colored crepe de chine. crepe de Paris and the various weaves of crepe are much in demand for reception gowns, but are made up with so much lace that there does not seem to be any reason for calling them crepe de chine gowns.
 The odd lowered taffeta silks in the light and most peculiar of shadings are also in style, with plaited or flounceo skirts. One model of pale mauve and pink changeable taffeta with flounce skirt has each flounce edged With the daintiest lowered ribbon not over an inch and a half wide. Soft fichus ot chiffon edged with lace rufles and ell bow sleeves finished also with lace soften and make more becoming ths rather hard lines that the taffeta some .imes possesses in these cold shades of coloring.
 An an-white gown is the smartest for reception wear, and can be in light weight cloth, embroidered silk, crepe dc chine, chiffon or batiste. It may be on severely plain lines or elaborate in ef- feet. with bands of lace, embroidery or fancy trimming. Only one point is to be strictly insisted on-it must be be- coming.

PENSION FUND
SHOWS DEFICIT
Teachers Annuities, as q
Consequence, Are Reduced
From 500 to $63 a Quarter
MAY BE AGAIN LOWERED
No Relief Is Possible I'm
less a Special Act of Leg
islature Is Passed at Once
MAY BE AGAIN LOWERED

At the regular meeting yesterday Of
the San Francisco Public School Teach
ers' Annuity and Retirement Fund
Commissioners II was announced that
owing to continued deficits in the an
nuity fund annuitant teachers will in
future be entitled to. receive only 500 a
quarter instead of $50. as heretofore.
1t has all along been known that the
81 a month each teacher is supposed
to pay into the fund Is not sufficient
to meet the drafts thereon and should
the number Of annuitants increase it
will be found impossible to pay them
even the $63 quarter.
Attempts have been made to provide
means to enrich the fund, but thus far
without success City Attorney Long
rendered an opinion that an act Of
the Legislature would be necessary to
compel teachers to pay 81 month in
stead of 81 into the fund, an amount
that would meet all demands on the
fund. This must be done at the next
session of the Legislature If relief is to
be had.
"A IOTIleT SCnOOl DlIctlOT Is dulIlCI- :
ity for the statement that at least
fifty teachers would resign their posi-
tions in the Public School Department
should they be guaranteed the full pay
ment of annuities as provided by law.
There are at present thirty-nine an
nuitants receiving the benefits of the
fund. The expenditures for the last
quarter were s2403 rs and demands
were drawn on the City Treasurer for
the segregated annuities.

PROMOTION COMMITTEE
PREPARING COOK BOOK
Preserving Fruits and Making
JeIIies and Jams.


The California Promotion Commit
tee Will Issue a book dealing with the
preparation of California fruits for
the table, giving recipes for preserving
fruits and making jellies, jams and
other articles of food. New dishes
will be described and directions will
be given for a number of new dishes
and will tell how fruits may be served
attractively.
After the cook book on fruits Is pre-
pared the committee proposes to dis

dealing with the preparation of CAL
ifornia products, believing that not
only the interests of California will be
helped, but all people will be much
benefited by the use of California
fruits and vegetables.
The committee has received the fol-
lowing letter from George 7. Oldham
of Saratoga, Cal:
Our little village Is about to enter on n
new era. The Interurban electric cars begin
tomorrow making regular hourly trips be-
tween here and San Jose We need a news
paper hotel and cannery. There is good
or committee to try to interest some one
in the cannery project. Can you put me II
communication with any who might be
looking for such opening? 1 assure YOU
anything you may do will be greatly ap-
preciated by our people.

FUND FOR FAIR

Merchants Association, to
Insure City Against Poor
Show, Contributes $1,000
ONLY $4,000 is LACKING
First Shipment of Interior
Fitting for San Francisco
Building Starts for East
ONLY $4,000 is LACKING

The Merchants Association OF San
Francisco has contributed $1,000 to
the fund for the San Francisco build
ing and exhibit at the st. Louis Ex-
position. This, with the $1,000 given
by the Board OF Trade OF San Fran
cisco and the $4,000 contributed by
the city, together with the sums sub
scrfbed by private citizens, brings the
total UP to date TO $4,000. There is
q shortage OF something like $4,000
yet, but the. finance committee Of the
general San Francisco committee,
representing all the commercial or
ganizations Of the city. is OF the opin-
ion that the remaining sum requisite
will be given.
News that the Merchants Associa-
ton had donated $1,000 was given out
yesterday. This breaks all donation
records of the association. 1t was
prompted by the fact that San Fran
cisco is virtually to be placed on ex-
hibition at st. Louis and any failure
to make a creditable showing would
certainly create an unfavorable i'm
preston abroad concerning the enter
prise and public spirit of the people.
In addition to the subscriptions mem
toned sums have been contributed re-
Gently by private Scitizens and others
as follows:
