 the bed is handsomely colored, it adds to the appearance of your porch in- stead of detracting from it. The Vudor chair-hammock when used by children is not only a health-giving exerciser, but an indestructible play thing which they hail with delight.

MIR MYGATT VIEWS THE SAN FRANCIS
 co RUINS.
 To the Editor of THE BEE: You re- queSted me to write you word from San Francisco. We were there three and overwhelming that it is impossible to give any adequate description of it. The great ferry house and the adjOin- ing buildings and docks were saved, but on the streets radiating from them and extending for several miles every building is destroyed and this includes the whole business portion and some of the finest residence districts in the city. The one exception is the U. s. Mint which was saved and 1t is hard to understand how this was accom- plished. It was entirely surrounded by fire and if the brave men who were protecting it had been unable to keep the flames back there would have been burned district a large number of buildings were damaged by the earth quake shocks, some seriously, and very large number having chimneys shaken down. 1t is impossible to make any computation of the money loss, and the loss of business and of opportunity to work is perhaps the greatest Of all. But in contrast to the desOlation and misery the spirit and courage of the people is magnifi- cent. The mercantile houses have se- cured quarters in the unburned sec tiOns and are carrying on their busi- ness there, the banks have erected temporary quarters on or near their former locations and are running as usual. Street car service is largely re- sumed and the cars are crowded with passengers. Some of the more sub stantial structures remained standing and these will be refitted as rapidly as possible. The people living in the tents were cheerful and hopeful even while the heavy rains were prevail ing. We saw and conversed with a number of them. The city will be re- built rapidly and better than before, and in few years it will be difficult to realize that the present conditions could ever have existed, but it will take long time and the people at present will be subjected to severest hardship. Splendid as the donations from the whole country have been they are none too large and there will long be pressing necessities to be relieved.
 We have visited MT and Mrs An. drews Gin theirl delightful home at Berkeley and have spent 8 short time at Seattle and Tacoma, those wonder full towns of the Northwest. We shall visit Yellowstone on our way home, where we expect to arrive in shori time.-[H. s. Mygatt.
