Hotel Bibles.

The proprietor Of newly furnished
uptown hotel has given an order to
publishing house for 200 Bibles.
Il have been hearing lot lately"
he said. about hotel guests going
wrong because there were no Bibles
In their rooms. Several years ago it
was the practice OF many hotels to
include a Bible In the list Of neces-
sary furniture. Gradually the people
who were back Of the enterprise lost
interest, and the books disappeared.
It now seems that many persons, par
ticu!arly commercial travellers, COM
plain Of missing them. Frequently
they read a chapter before going to
bed just to drive away the blues, but
now they never get chance to look
inside a Bible. That being the case,
it shall not be said that any man STOP
ping at my house Is driven to perdi-
ton for the want of a Bible."-New

Want Skis in Swiss Army.

It is a curious circumstance that
the one army in Europe whose from
tiers have a permanent snow-li1e, and
in which the use of the ski is ignored
in the army, is Switzerland, where,
in many of the cantons, nearly every
man, woman and child can ski This
latter fact probably to some extent
explains the neglect. But the diner
ence between popular use Of the ski
and that systematic training which
alone could make a battalion or a
brigade on ski at all mobile, or even
manageable, is so obvious that It's
neglect in an army which would need
it almost more than any other frontier
operation, is not easy to understand.
The Swiss papers are beginning to
raise an outcry on the subject. 1t Is
pointed out that although there are
thousands of Swiss officers and SOL
Giers who can ski, there is not In all
the Swiss army a single class for ski
drill, nor any stores for mobilizing
even a company Of men on ski.

"Our 6aoy had that dreadful complaint,
Infantile Eczema, which afflicted MIN for
several months, commencing at the top of
his head, and at last covering his whole
body. His suferings were untold and con-
slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
We would no: have done to have given him
relief. We finally procured full set Of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three
or four days he began to show a brighter
spirit and really laughed, for the first time
in year. In about ninety days he was
fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
Remedies has always been our greatest
pleasure, and there IS nothing too good
that we could say in their favor, for they
certainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that ever be-
held prior to the treatment of the Cuti-

Fire Finally Gotten Under Control.

The people, now homeless and
threatened with starvation, are fac
ing the awful calamity which swept
the great city practically out OF exist
ence with a spirit Of resigned fortitDde
that must command the admiration OF
the world.
There are no evidences Of weakness
to be seen among the crowds o5
stricken people. Appalled, for the mo-
ment, but undaunted, the bravery ex-
hibited by men, women and children
in the face of the overwhelming dis

"The fire is now positively stated
to be under control, with the prooaoll'
ity that one-quarter of the city lying
west of Franklin street and known
as the western addition, northWard 10
the Preside, will be saved. The stand
made at Van Ness avenue was gener-

that avenue to the west in only re-"

todav was toward North beach, east
of Van Ness avenue, but it will be

It was SIS o'clock Wednesday morn
ing when terrific earthquake shook
the whole city and surrounding coun-
try. One shock apparently lasted two
minutes, and there was almost imme-
date collapse Of structures all over the
city. The water supply was cut off,
and when the fires broke out in vari-
Gus sections there was nothing to do
but to let the buildings burn. Tele-
graph and telephone communication
was shut of. Acre after acre has
been ground into dust and ashes, de-
spite the heroic perseverance of the
fremen to limit the confagration.
Over two thousand lives are believed
10 have been lost, two hundred thou
sand people are homeless, and prop
erty loss Of over s300,000,O00 has
been done as the result OF the cata-
clysm. Tons of dynamite were used
in blowing up buildings in the vain
endeavor to check the confagration.
The entire section of the city lying
along Van Ness avenue from Golden
Gate avenue to Pacific avenue, six
teen blocks in all, containing the
homes of many millionaires and apart
ment houses were leveled by gun
powder, by the order Of the author
tiles.
All of San Francisco's best business
houses, hotels and theaters are a
mass of ruins. The earthquake de-
molished them for all practical pur-
poses, and the fire completed the
work of demolition. The fire swept
on so rapidly that it was practically
impossible to save anything in It's
way.
Big buildings are crumbled into
heaps. Factories and business houses
lie smouldering on their former sites.
All Of the newspaper plants have
been rendered useless. It is estimat-
ed that the loss in San Francisco will
reach $400, 100000. These figures are
in the rough, and nothing can be told
until partial accounting is taken.
From the business section, the
fiery demon spread to the residential
portion Of the city, sweeping every
thing clear in its path. Thousands
upon thousands Of people fed from
the ire-enthralled city, aocking to the
ferries, to the parks, to the military
reservations and to the suburbs. But
there was no panic. The people are
calm, stunned. They seem not to real
ize the extent of the calamity.
At Y:15 o'clock Thursday morning
all hope Of saving any portion Of the
city from destruction was abandoned:
and the people set about trying to
escape what might be worse fate

ZITTERYL NEEDLEW0RK

The newest needlewoTk is Zitteryl,
and old Danish handicraft. which has
been revived in Paris, Berlin. Copen-
hagen and New York. and will occupy
many deft fingers in England this VIII
ter. Catherine de Medici had her bed
draDed with it. and there are still in
existence bed coverings, curtains, and
altar cloths that were made of il in
Merry England in the sixteenth CEN
fury There is such wealth of ro-
mantle and historical associations COM
bined in it with effectiveness and SIM
plicity that the mere sight of Zitteryl
imparts the keenest desire TO attempt
il to its beholders.
The groundwork is square mesh net.
and this in different sizes and widths
may be procured anywhere. And how
easy is the stitch! Merely a darning-
stitch done straight with the mesh, or,
if you will. diagOnally. You slip the
needle over and under alternate
threads of the mesh. and in the next
row il is slipped over the one it went
under, and also under the one it went
over in the first row.
Enough rows are made to fill the
mesh, the number depending. of course,
on the size of the mesh and thread.
