Everything in the Eskimo dress has
a reason for it's existence, writes Cap
tain Road Amundsen In 1.-The North
west Passage" The members Of Cap
tain Amundsen's expeditions had be
come accustomed to the Eskimo dress
and had adopted 1t, but many Of them
thought it ridiculous for grown up
men to go about wearing fringe to
their clothes. so they cut it OF. I
had my scruples about this, says the
author, as I had already learned that
most things In the Eskimo's clothing
and other arrangements had their dis
tinct meaning and purpose, so / kept
my. fringe and put up with the ridi-
cule. He laughs best who laughs last.
One fine day the anovaks, a sort Of
tunic reaching below the knee. made
Of deerskin, from which the fringes
had been cut of, commenced to curl
up. and If the fringe had not been put
on again quickly they would soon have
looked like neckt1eS.

One Of the most interesting reptiles
Of C~alifornia's, great desert Is the des-
ert tortoise. A writer In Suburban
Life says: II have found as many as
twenty Of these hard shelled fellows
that we usually associate In our minds
with the thought OF water In the very
heart OF the desert, where the water
was exceedingly-scarce. Yet when you
pick them up they generally void two
or three large spoonfuls of liquid. Dis
section shows that. they each have two
large water sacks on the back, and
these afford them their water supply.
They are great travellers and can walk
faster than we should imagine. They
are also good climbers. l have watch

down the rocky sides Of q desert
mountain. He could wriggle himself
up to a rock almost as high as he was
long. Raising himself on his tail end,
he would use his head as a hook,
then claw with his right leg until it
had secured a good hold. then, with
what seemed to me extraordinary
strength. he would lift himself up and

Porter AIwa. aaIor

During Grants first term his score
taTy OF the navy, Borie. for a time
turned the actual administration over
to Admiral Porter. Admiral Porter
al a sailor In the strict genealogical
sense Of the term in that he believed
there was nothing like sails. AS soon
as he was in authority he caused the
four bladed propellers Of the vessels
to be removed and replaced by two
bladed ones in order that the ships
might maneuver better under sail. The
inefficiency thereby brought about is,
Of course, apparent to any engineer, as
the size of the propeller opening was
fixed and the two bladed screw could
not be made large enough. A few years
later In a report to the department he
actually claimed that the vessels were
faster under steam with the mutilated
screws. The facts, Of course. were just
the reverse, and when his influence be-
came less proper propellers were again
fitted. This was when he vas still in
his prime and his judgment was. at
least, not impaired by age. About
twenty years later, when the Roach
cruisers were being built. the dear old
man, then over seventy, went before
the naval committee and said that the
plans Of these vessels were wrong be-
cause they had only auxiliary SAN
power. In his judgment they should
have been given full sail power with
steam as an auxiliary. He was still a
sailor! The world had not moved for

THE MILLINERY Openings.

The weather was fine, ,ofcourse
Easter only a few days away.
and so the two millinery openings
last Saturday were eminentlv
successful and the ladies had the
time of their lives, a truly eniov-
able time, marred only by a
painful indecision as to which
hat to buy. Where everything
was beautiful twas hard to
make a choice, and one distract
ed lady was seen with a hat on
her pretty head and holding one
in each hand, unable to make a
choice.
At Mrs. Posey's some of the
prettiest examples of millinery
bills were:
An electric blue braid, small
droop shape, a large bunch of
fruit on one side with a rosette
OF lilacs on the other, a velvet
ribbon band around the crown
and faced with white satin.
Another was an old rose crea-
ton, mushroom effect, made of
braid, with a large bunch of
roses, cowslips and foliage, with
foliage and ribbon twisted round
the crown.
Then there was a light blue
Neapolitan, droopy effect, of,
course, with light blue facing,
trimmed with three immense
~rosettes of ribbons with forget
me-not centres.
A burnt straw braid, faced
with silk of ashes of roses, with
a bunch of orchids on one side
caught with a cabochon, attract
ed much attention.
Another sweet one was an old
fashioned Leghorn, wide brim,
pink facing, with stirring of
pink and two bands of small
pink roses around the crown.
At Miss Woodalls', there was
a superb black creation, Neapo-
Titan straw, trimmed with i'm
mense plume, bow on side fast
ened with jet cabochon, with jet
and velvet streamers.
Another was a black lace hat,
with pink roses, droop shape5
with long streamers.
A white lace hat, with plumes,
with cloth of gold around the
and streamers attracted
attention.
A very pretty effect was a
turban, jet brim, aigrette,
trimmed with forget-me-nots.
There was a white leghorn,
with a flower crown, ALL flow
ers, mind you, pink rose on brim
and black velvet ties, which GER
was pretty.
Both openings were we'll at
and if Frank King and
Henry Allen, who took prizes
or trimming hats at the Rebek-
Is, contest last week, had attend
ID them, they would, today be
men.

wood and then pressing it hard, you

Colonial company opened with 1t
last night for the week, and a well
filled house enjoyed the fun and
music. Adele is one of the peach
and cream creations and there is
plenty of her. The chorus was a
little bit rusty in the drill work at
times and a bit light as to voice,
but as popular production there
is nothing to carp over in the per-
Torrance. Harry Burgess as the
king is about as ridiculous as there
is any necessity for. The fun hits
of the bill are, Frank Woods and
Harry Watson. The other charac-
tiers are very well sustained, and
the different chorus features are
not likely to influence anyone to
look the other way. The comic
opera has been given a good
mounting. "a

Wylie looked after him; he noted
that erect military carriage and
crisp, gray hair and thick white
mustach; he had a vague idea he
had seen that face before, and the
memory troubled him.
At 1880 Wylie started for Lon
don; the military man followed
him in the express at 8. Together
they arrived at the station at Eus-
ton square; 1t was quarter of 8.
Wylie hailed a cob, but before he
could struggle through the crowd
to reach it, a railway porter threw
portmanteau on its roof, and his
military acquaintance took pos
session of 1t.
All right" said the porter.

remarked they would barely have

oRPHEUM.

A bill laden with fairly good COM
edy and plenty of good music,
both vocal and instrumental, is pre-
sented at the Orpheum this week.
To pick the favorite act or the
favorite performer from the whole
line would be a difficult thing, but
among the best liked are Cathryn
Rowe Palmer, the coincidence;
Hayes and johnson, Hyams and
Mcintyre and Cunningham and
Marion. The Misses Catherine
Hayes and Sabel Johnson bring
down the house in their odd act, "A
Dream Of Baby Days" Both are
appreciated in their comedy and
their singing is really good. Cath
ryn Rowe Palmer isn't much of a
singer-really doesn't pretend to
be. for In fact good singer could
scarcely take the part that she
does, but her comedy stirs up all
sorts Of laughter. Miss Leila Nc
Intyre, appearing with John
Hyams, Is perhaps the favorite
player with the audiences, in her
quaint role as 1.-THE Quakeress."
Her impersonation Of child parts
is exceptionally good. The San
Francisco Musical Trio, composed
Of Grace Marshall, pianist and vo-
caffst; iGrace Freeman, violinist,
and I Clara Rogers, 'cellist, are gen.
orally appreciated. Miss Rogers is
