The National Congress has appro-
priated two and half millions of do
liars for the help of the sufferers
from the terrible disaster in Cali
fornia.
The American people have excee
ded the generosity of Congress; per-
| haps for this reason the sum appro-
priated by the latter seems SO modes st
when the enormous wealth of the
United States is considered.
But, at any rate, the donations ha-
We been sufficient to enable Mr. Roo
sevelt to refuse the tenders of assis-
tance made by other countries which
have been moved by the picture Of
|cruel dosolation.
The people of the United States
have raised the millions necessary to
lessen the sufferings of the survivors
of the California catastrophe; and to
this Congress has contributed two
and half millions of dollars.
Is this al American custom2
Were we not told by the congre-
gantes on recent occa sion, under
circumstance somewhat similar to
those which have befallen the inhab-
itants of California, that it was not an
American custom TO extend pecunia
ry aid TO people overtake EN- CY some
annihilating catastrophe2

nor look for official assistance; it is
not an American custom to accord
such help.
But observe the other side of the
shield: a horrible hecatomb occurs
in San Francisco and cries of agony
and distress are heard on all sides; it
is Upper California that is threatened
with destruction, it is the land OF
the. golden legend, of fabulous
wealth thatis about TO disappear from
a continent as punishment for the
avarice of men; but it is American
land and American people who are
IN distress and threatened with star
vation Then the National Con-
gress appropriates two and a half
millions of dollars; then Mr.. RooSe

refuses the aid offered by other

Charming Exhibitions Made at French

In Paris most charming conceits are
devised to enhance the effect of an
exhibition of wedding gifts in the
brides home. Sometimes the furni-
ture is removed from one or two
rooms to give space to show cases,
where Is made a tasteful array of the
most delicate parts of the t%rousseau,
and numberless biveldfs. The heavier
articles are suspended from screens
or round the walls from hanging rib
bons, pictures, or ever dados Of
crinkled papier velours in some sub.
dued shade. One of the. most telling
arrangements is dispersal against the
walls of small tables covered with mig
nonette-green silk, and on which are
artistically displayed the bridal treas
ures. to each of which is attached with
a pink ribbon the card of the giver.
The contents of every table are part
ly yelled by vaporous tulle held up to
the wall by some bracket lamp, high
~statuette, and draped at the sides with
large choux In pink satin. The color

not too expensive. A scheme which
