CALIFORNIA AGAIN TO THE FORE.

~HE National Worlds Fair Commission deplores
the fact that the big exposition is attracting the
l. crowds merited by the magnificent exhibits and
gently prodding the managers urges them to stand up
and do little shouting about the greatest show
on earth" Now, if the worthy gentlemen who are di-
rectng things at ST. Louis will only scatter broadcast
news what California is doing at the fair there will
certainly be in the attendance, and the Gov
ernments representatives will be rapturously extending
the joyous hand instead of giving vent to disappointment
over small houses"
The States active commission has been extremey-suc

Pelee To-Day.

A recent visitor to the fated isle OF
Martinique gives the following de-
scription of the aspect of Pelee to-
day in a Montreal paper:
Where the city of st. Pierre once
fourished," he says, there is a thick
bed of land, which is already assum-
ing the appearance of a vast gray
granite rock. About nine years ago
I passed close by St. Pierre in the
evening and saw it's white roofs, it's
towers and cupolas cleaning between
the fronded crests and 1.-THE gray
trunks of the royal palms and heard
the crash of bands in its squares and
the tinkling Of mandolins upon the
French ships lying in the roadstead-
But now the SCARED mass Of lava COW
ers completely the gay Paris of the
Antilles with all it's life and color and
music as though it were buried under
a massive mausoleum Of granite.
There are no ruins-nothing at all to
indicate that a city of $4,000 people
had once f1ourished there.
Before you rises the gaunt and CO.
lossal cone of Mont Pelee, with its
awful head yelled in lazy and pestif-
erous vapors. it's SCARED lava-streaked
slopes rent with gigantic assures and
wild gorges and it's base piled up in
primeval confusion masses of the
blown out crest and sides. The i'm
preston which the sight of Mont Pc
less, brooding in it's uncleanly clouds
of smoke above its hideous and aw-
full works, makes upon you is difficult
to define. You are awed, but hardly
Mortified. In the presence of such evil
dence of natures forces you are so
impressed with the grandeur and ma
jesty of her efforts that you do not
think of the blotting out of such an
insignificant thing as a city of men
and their works.
ITO the southwark where the su-
burbs of the city stretched over a level
plain, the earth washed down from
the mountain sides by the rains has
formed a soil in.which grass and trees
are beginning to grow in patches. In
a few years, no doubt, the tomb of the
CITY will be covered with the vegeta-
ton of the tropics and the now giant
and SCARED sides of Pelee covered
with forests of green. All the rest of
the island has emerged from its COW
ering of ashes in new beauty and
greater luxuriance."

A UTAH PICNIC.

~HE Salt Lake Tribune asserts that at the twenty
ninth annual picnic of the Old Folks of Utah there
assembled at Spanish Fork more than two
thousand persons in grove tme all of whom
were aged least 70 years This took place last week
On one special train from Salt Lake City there

Nathanial Hawthorne, in his search for the unusual

says that the frosty poed party had "a frolic and
merry time" with youngsters years so old to
wait upon them. They ndulged in "reminiscences; they
easted at long tables in the shade OF grove; young
people sang played and performed in an amusing way

Mired Ag0in.

London papers are often nluminat-
ing on things American. In de-
nouncing the policy of the Repubh-
can party as one Of standing fat
says the London Chronicle, ''the chair
man of the st. Louis Democratic con-
VentiOn was kind enough to give the
initiated some hint OF the mystic
phrases significance. 1t came from
the gamblers table, he said. and
stand fat was a precept of. passivity
and inaction born Of cowardice. A fat
hand in the game of poker is . hand
which its holder considers satisfac-
tory as it is. so that he does not take
the chance Of improving it by buying
any fresh cards from the dealer. To
stand fat, presumably, is to play q
defensive game with whatever IS dealt
to you, leaving the other players to
take risks. But it is doubtful whether
stand fat will pass into common ac-
ceptance as 'bluh has. Thousands
speak Of 'bluffing with no thought
that they are using a metaphor from
poker"

Il Mid Magyar.

The municipality of the Hungarian
capital recently authorized series of
bullfghts, and the populace were in
stantly and suitably entranced. A
troupe of Spaniards, the toreador
Pouly at their head, were engaged and
came on for the affray.
The first evening the show was
something grand. The Hungarians
were properly astounded at the gaud
and tinsel, the carriage and coverings
Of these Spaniards. There was the
call for the bulls, then. But the
trifling little Spanish animals that had
been shipped on gave the spectators
small satisfaction. They wanted real
excitement. They ordered that Pouly
and his men should try their lives
against the Hungarian breed.
Piqued to the quick, Pouly accepted
the conditions, Hungarian bull was
procured after two days, and the
promised real fight was announced.
Pouly prepared himself, and Gye-

left is the name of the saint to whom

columns. From January TO June the
left hand column contains a course Of
lessons in six modern languages, while
on the right hand are printed Schil-
ler's poems. For the other half of the
year one column is filled with a novel
by Jules Verne and the other half by
a translation of the foreign words
used most frequently in German and
an epitome of history from Charlie

back OF the leaves are notes on myth

The leaves are also so prepared that

is known it occupies an absolutely
unique position. 1t consists OF nine
pearls. naturally grown together in
so regular a manner as to form a per-
feet Latin cross. The pearl was dis
covered by a pearl fisher at Roe
bourne. West Australia. The first
owner regarded II with so much su-
perstition that he buried It; but 1t was
discovered in 1874 and five years later
