display of fantastic tricks and fads.
In booksellers catalogue was once
an advertisement of a Latin copy of
Apuleius' Golden Ass" bound in the
skin of an ass. A book relating to
Jeffrey Hudson, the celebrated dwarf,
was bound in piece of the silk waist
coat of Charles /. Fox's historical
works were bound in foxskin, and
Bacon's works were dressed out in
hogskin. One offspring of the French
revolution was the grim humor OF
binding books in human skin. France
was not alone in this practice. In
various parts of England the skin OF
murderers has been tanned and ased
to bind books. The public library OF
Bury st. Edmunds has a book con-
tanning the account of the trial of a
man for murder, bound in his own
skin. Eccentricities of binding in such
skins as cats, crocodile, mole, seal,
wolf, tiger, bear, etc, abound. The

Scotch Plaid a Feature OF Dress and
Trimmings.

The coming winter Is expected to
be a distinctly tartan" one, for the
Scotch plaid is seen not only In dress
materials and trimmings, but Is intro
duced into wings and quilts and even
roses. Plain broadcloth costumes
have been fashioned by the leading
costumiers in Paris and London with
short sack coats and skirts trimmed
with narrow bands of pipings of tar
tan, and distinct novelty Is the little
green and blue tartan hip" coat
trimmed with collar and facings of
black silk poplin and finished with
old-silver buttons. Silk poplin, one of
the fashionable materials for the COM

these little coats, with judicious
trimming tartan, for wearing with a
blue cloth skirt, and in juxtaposition

White and Red Wines.

"a Misrepresentation about the
strength of red and white wines ex-
ists," said Californian. Because
red wine has darker, richer look
people think 1t is more intoxicating.
The opposite, really, is the case. Red
wines are made by fermenting grape
juice, skins and seeds together. White
wines are made by fermenting juice
alone In the skins and seeds there
is a lot of tannin, and red wine con-
tains much tannin, while white wine
contains none. This tannin, an astrin.
gent. closes the pores of the stomach
and prevents the alcohol in the red
wine from entering the blood freely.

white wine-champagne, for In

intoxicating properties are much more

MOTHERS SOMETIMES LAY DOWN
scEPTER TOO EARLY.
Mistake to Allow Children to Hurry
Parents Out of Middle Age, Where
They Belong, Into Old Age,
Says Writer.
BY MARGARET e. sANosTER.

NSopyriBut, ny Joseph %. f5OWleS.J
In the history Of every home
period Is reached when the mothers
stop training the children and the
children begin training the mothers.
The process of training always In
wolves disagreeable side to the per-
sons trained. Children, for instance,
see when grown up that the truest
kindness to them was shown when
they were not allowed to have their
own way, but in the early years they
often enough felt rebellious when re-
strained or denied. The moulding
touch may be so gently given and edu-
cation may be conducted with so much
tact that pleasure predominates. AS q
rule, there is some friction during
training whether colts or children or
parents are the subjects.
Mothers arrive by imperceptible
stages at the point where they cease
to take the initiative and the children
take it for them. Occasionally they
feel mild surprise when a grown up
daughter calmly advises them to do
this or not to do the other; when
there is interference with their dress,
their comings and goings, and when
innovations are introduced in the
household management. A strong
willed mother does not easily yield
| her precedence and in her case the
| children have to wait until fit of i'll
ness, long visit or an absence OF
| some sort gives them their oppor-
| tunity. Once she yields an inch, they
| take an ell. The maternal sceptre
laid down temporarily Is seldom re
sumed with it's previous vigor. Often
| the training of the middle aged mother
is so tenderly and sweetly undertaken
and accomplished that she slips into
the background without being aware
that she has practically abdicated hel
position as queen.
Yet 1t happens every day that WON
en- by no means old, not at all weak
ened In mind or body, and as thor
oughly conversant with affairs as ever
they were, simply through granting
concessions to their adoring children

Must Import steel.

IITTSBuRG, Apri! 27.--A ccort!iny to
Pittsburg steel men, the rebuilding of
San Francisco may bc retarded by the
inability Of Pittsbury steel mills to
supply material for the new city. The
Carnegie Steel company and the
Jones.Laughlin company's plants al.
ready are so crowded they have prac.
tically closed their goods for delivery
within eight months. Never before
was there such demand for IN ateri al >
as this year, and it is feared it will be
impossible for the mills to take on
additional work.
According to steel men, San Fran.
cisco will be compelled to go to Great
Britain and Germany for building
material. The mills in Germany are
busy and will be able to take on q
little additional work. Those in
Great Britain, however, will be able
to accommodate many orders. On ac-
count of high freight rates from the
east to the Pacific coast, the foreign
steel mills will be able to deliver
structural shapes to San Francisco by
water as cheap or cheaper than the
local mills.

seven missing. The entire business
section of the town was destroyed and
many residences went down. Twenty
fires started but the water supply was
unimpaired and within three hours the
flames we're under control, despite the
fact that the engine house was ruined.

Santa Rosa knew nothing of the de.

arrival here of a trainload of nearly
1000 refugees, begging for help that
could not be given them. But nearby
towns came to the rescue and after a
period OF starvation and suffering aid
