MISSION DOLORES WILL BE
OPEN TODAY FOR WORSHIPERs
Thousands Expected to Visit Beautiful
Old Sanctuary With It's Memories
of Far Gone Years.

One hundred and thirty years ago today
the first celebration of holy Thursday took
place in California
The service was attended by handful Of
neophytes-Mission Dolores being then but six
months old-and the Spanish soldiers that con-
sttuted the guard for the Franciscan friars,
Palau Cambon and De la Pena.
The ceremony was conducted in a temporary
chapel of mud and brush, which in 1904 was
replaced by the adobe church that is now
the Oldest and most famous landmark in San
Francisco.
In all those $50 years not break has oc-

mission for it's memories and the part II has

During the last two years the interior OF
the church has been restored to its original
state even the crude tracings upon the walls
having been revived. The old statues have
been replaced in their inches and the superbly
toned old affairs supported.
Today the sanctuary will be open to all
who enter with the right spirit, though the
day is especially given over TO deyotees OF
the church.
II has been promised that ere long the
old church will be permanently opened-at
least during certain hours of certain days,
and had not q change OF administration taken
place with Its necessary readjustments. the
church would now be open to the public. But
Father Cummings assures the lovers OF the
mission that their cherished plan will be
carried out as soon as certain preliTninaries
can be adjusted.

Little, but Immense.

Although the late General Joseph
Wheeler was a chieftain of tremendous
force when in battle, he was, as every
body knows, small in stature, slight in
build, and Of Unassuming appearance
as q civilian.
Shortly after the United States had
declared war against Spain, and while
the preparations for sending the army
10 Cuba were ia active progress a
stranger in Washington observed a
number Of distinguished Senators gath
ering round little, gray bearded man
whom they had encountered at the
steps Of the Capitol and shaking his
hand with enthusiasm.
Who's that little old chap they're
making so much fuss over?" he said,
addressing an elderly, stoop- -shouldered
man who was standing near him and
looking at the group with kindling
eyes.
'Little." exclaimed the other That's
Fighting Joe Wheeler If ever you'd
been in big battle and seen him com

NURSES WORK
GAINING DUE
RECOGNITION

The American Monthly Review of Re-
views contains an account Of the origin
ana work OF that interesting new fac
Tor OF civilization, the visiting nurse,
ana treats Of her value as a social force.
4he capable young women who wear
the uniforms Of this new social force
are now said TO be busy in every large
city IN the United States. They are
framed specialists and they give TO the
SICK poor the same skilled attention
whlch the wealthy can command from
the trained nurses who attend them.
Ihey DO much more than simply nurse,
ICr their business is to teach the peo-
PIE among whom they are sent how to
care Tor the ailing members Of their
AanllleS, and they act as inspectors
whose duty il is TO be on the watch for
any unsanitary conditions that might
pe dangerous to the public health. The
Health Department of New York City
employs fifty OF these nurses to visit
the public schools, seven to watch
tuberculosis patients and two for gen
eral contagious diseases. In. that city
visiting nursing has now become a part
or municipal business. The idea of
using trained nurses for the benefit Of
the poor originated with the women's
branch of the New York Mission So
ciety. The article states that in every
city where any form Of public work on
the part Of the visiting nurse has been
initiated recognition OF its value has
been immediate. or our own city we
learn this: In San Francisco Mrs
Elizabeth Ashe and Miss Daisy Johnson,
Two nurses from the Telegraph Hill
Neighborhood Association, offered their
services and supplies to the School
Board for a six months experiment
a year ago and today their work is a
regular part Of the public school sys-
TEN"
Philadelphia has also taken official
action on this visiting nurse question,
ana Boston is trying the experiment Of
now IL viii work Speaking Of the
economic Justification Of the nurses
service, the Review of Reviews says:
It is a principle of all the Visiting
Nurse Associations to give their labors
not as charity, but as public service
although their work originated in phil
anthropy, the chief motive which ami
mates all the associations is pure So
clal economies. Hospitals are a heavy
expense to the social body. It costs
Infinitely more TO care for an Individual
~ one Of these costly institutions than
in the individual home. Besides, it has
been found that in many Instances
when the mother or father is removed
10 the hospital the whole family grad
ually lapses upon public charity for
support"

I lived my life for you, from that first hour
When yet you lay unseen and all unknown
Save TO myself and God; my thought, my

Ny very lifeblood were for you alone.
I took your cares, and on my shoulders laid
Your every burden: every pain and smart
kept from you, and all that could degrade
Or bring an evil knowledge to your heart.

Until your manhood. What has all awaited

And when the trial came. You failed-you

Pedigrees on Sale.

The world will read with amused in
terest the broadly heralded statement
that the wife of a multimillionaire
has recently traced her ancestry back
to the twelfth century and simultane-
ously has discovered that the blood of
kings flows in her veins. Pride Of
birth is commendable where 1t is not
extensively exploited. 1t is a worthy
boast that one is a descendant Of
those who fought to form or fought to
save this union. Besides it is a pedi-
gree that is easily established. 1t is
different tn the case where one seeks
to prove a descendant from ancient
and noble forbears, although it is COM
paratively easy when the notorious
fact is recalled that for liberal con-
siderations European experts will pre-
pare a pedigree, whether the benefi-
ciary be a rat-trap peddler or railroad
magnate, that will stand the test of
casual examination.

Study of Grammar.


The subject In which the grammar
school (so-called) contravenes most
sharply the law of the order of learn
ing is, perhaps, grammar. For gram
mar, being the analytic and theoret-
ical study of language, does not belong
in the grammar school at all, says
writer in Atlantic. The scientific
classification of phenomena cannot
commence until the phenomena have
been assembled and made familiar.
To this law of learning language is no
exception. The language study prop
er to the grammar school is observa-
ton and acquaintance, that is. more
particularly, practice in reading, speak
ing, composing. Nor for this Is the
study of grammar necessary. What is
necessary is a very large amount OF
practice; much reading, much speak
ing, much composing. The only use OF
grammar here is a negative one, name
ly, to correct mistakes. And for this
negative purpose the only person In
the grammar school who need know
grammar is the teacher. The positive
scientific study of grammar must be
reserved for the high school.

DAIRY HINTS.

A good cow is worth more money

Good breeding and good feeding will

The dairy business cannot be learned
In one day, one month, or one year.
There are things we must practice be-

or three times daily, rubbing 1t in well,
and the warts will soon disappear.
A poor cow or calf can often be made
to come up to the standard of the herd
by little extra care and attention at
the beginning of the grass season.

to raise first-class grapes without the

taxed that they will not recover from

upper end and another at the upper
part of the wedge. In cutting the
wedge, care should be taken to have
the sides true, and the side of the
wedge that Is to be used at the outside
of the stock should be slightly thicker
than the other.
The scions should be inserted, as
shown in Fig. 2, taking pains to have
the inner banks in contact. II there
is sufficient spring to the stock to hold
the scions securely in place no wrap
ping will be required, but If not they
should be wrapped the same as whip
gratis. The graft is then completed
by covering all cut surfaces, including
the split at the sides, with either
grating wax, waxed paper, or cloth, in
order to prevent evaporation and the
drying out of the surfaces.
This form of graft can be used either
ON the trunks of small trees or the
branches of larger ones. The best sue
cess will be obtained when the stubs
are from one to one and one-half inches
in diameter, and none much over two
inches should be used. When graft

thinks, it is advisable to extend the
period over several years, grating
about one-third at time.

Country Safe.

The Chicago Journal discusses the
$4,000 weekly immigration under the
CHEEKY title, Bet on the Country-It's
Safe" 1t goes on to say: Millions
of acres now unproductive will be put
under cultivation to feed the world
still more abundantly. Cities will
spring up as II by magic. Factories
will be built and prosperity will cover
all the region of which Chicago is the
natural entrepot and beneficiary. The
west is destined within the time of
men now living to become as thickly
populated as some parts of Europe, and
when that day comes the empire city
of the western continent will be, not
New York, but Chicago, mistress of the
mighty west. In view of this magnifi-
cent prospect, what man in his senses
can be alarmed by the screeching of
discomfort, or its prophecies Of ruin
and desolation?"
