But now the workers of the night
have come to take possession. They

night are gradual, but they have be-

of life is too limited for modern con

four hours, but those at least will all
be used in the task San Francisco
demands that what took fifty years
to build shall be replaced in less than
a tenth that time. so the smooth

PREC0CI0Us JOHN DAvY.
Childhood Incident Of the Author Of
"The Bay Of Biseay."

"The Bay Of Biseay."
An interesting anecdote of the youth
Of John Davy, who composed the IA
nous song 1.-The Bay of Biscay," shows
how decided and precoclous was this
musicians aptitude for the art he ulti-
mately practiced with artistic if not
financial success. John Davy was born
near Exeter in 1765. At the age of six
he evinced a passion for music, which
he sought every means Of gratifying.
He was in want of a musical instru-
ment ana determined to provide him.
self with one Of however rough a ma
ture. So from neighboring smithy
he purlolned twenty to thirty horse
shoes. From these he selected as many
as formed a complete octave and, hav-
ing suspended them in an upper room,
amused himself by initiating upon
them the chimes Of the nelghboring
church of Creditor.
BY these and other means he obtain
ed knowledge Of music which some
thirty years later enabled him to pro-
duce many dramatic pieces and such
songs as "Just Like Love" 1.-THE Death
Of the Smuggler" and "The Bay Of
Biscay," only the last Of which has re-
NAMED popular.
After twenty years. work in London
Davy died in st. Martins lane in 1924.
He was buried in st. Martins church

A SOCIABLE COMPANION.
The Chatty Traveller Who Charmed
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

It is related that Ralph Waldo EN-
erson was once on his way to Califor-
MIA when he was Joined by man who
was altogether so sociable and chatty
that an otherwise tedious journey was
rendered quite cheerful. This mans
name was Sackett, and he told Mr..
Emerson that he resided in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Sackett indicated all the
points of interest along the way, re-
lated a lot Of amusing anecdotes and,
best of all, was also an attentive lis
tener. The consequence was that Mr..
Emerson came to the conclusion that
Mr. Sackett was as charming man
as he had ever met, and it was In this
positive conviction that he accepted
Mr.. Sackett's invitation to dine with
him Immediately upon their arrival in
San Francisco. The next morning Mr..
Emerson was astonished and annoyed
to find in all the local papers this
startling personal notice: professor
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the eminent
philosopher, scholar and poet, is in our
city as the guest of j. Sackett, the
we'll known proprietor Of the Bush
Street Dime museum. Matinees every
half hour. Admission only 10 cents.

EIoWerpots,

All new howerpots require to be
soaked In water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hang we'll to the sides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. Let
any one try to put plant with fresh
soil into a pot which has been used
before and left unwashed, and he will
find In a few days, when the soil be-
gins to dry, that it leaves space and
does not adhere as it should to the
sides Of it. No plant can possibly
flourish under such circumstances. The
roots of plant draw to the sides of a
pot naturally in search Of moisture.
and growth Of course Is checked If a
current of air is allowed to pass be-
tween them and the sides. Some plants
exhibit this tendency in such remark
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except a network on the outside
Of the soil next the pot.

LAW NOT COMPULSORY.
Supreme Court Decision on the Fac.
tory Inspection Law.

OLYMPIA, Feb 19.-In decision hand.
ed down yesterday in the case Of the
state OF Washington vs. Oliver T. Erick.
son, the supreme court gave an import
ant Interpretation OF the factory inspec.
ton act Of 1905, holding that inspection
offactories and mills is not mandatory
and that the state factory inspector or
his deputies cannot compel a factory
owner to pay the $40 tee prescribed by
the state for inspection unless he directs
the inspector to make the inspection.
The ruling is directly opposed to the in.
depreciation placed upon the statute by
Labor Com missioner Hubbard and the
state authorities and will necessitate an
amendment to the law If inspection is to
be made compulsory.
The test case was brought when Oliver
T. Erickson, an electrical motor manu-.
facturer, refused to pay the inspection
fee. The labor commissioner, on his own
invitation, inspected the plant and de.
manded the fee. He found that the
owner OF the plant had otherwise fully
complied with the law. The supreme
court OF King county, when the proceed
ings came up on demurrer. dismissed
the case holding inspection not manda.

Heipinq an Invalid.

A trained nurse mentions as among
the little things that help make an in
valid feel comfortable and rested the
frequent brushing Of the hair and bath
ing Of the hands and face. II don't
know what it is, whether these actions
just divert the invalid's mind or really
do effect some physical change for the
better, but they certainly help the sick
one to get through the day. Eau de
cologne and the various toilet waters
are very refreshing when added to the
water or used independently. l once
heard a man say that If he couldn't
both wash his hands and face and
comb his hair in the morning when he
got up he would choose to comb his
hair. 1t would wake him up better.
He felt something of the same sense
Of physical comfort as the average

Oioestible Food,

One Of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value Of food to anybody
Is the measure Of its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing ms regards its mere composition
than half pound Of beef, but while
the beef will be easily dlgested and
thus be Of vast service to us the cheese
is put out of court altogether for ord-
nary folks by reason Of its indigesti-
bilty. We should bear this rule in
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with another in respect to
their chemical value. - London Hospi-

on the religious and political beliefs
Of his time than possibly any other
British writer. He never wrote line
that he did not believe, and in regard
