Journey to the Great Northwest
As Described by Mrs. c. J. Crook

st Helena is m old town aud a
very beautiful one. Here was the
first that l saw Of the tropical foliage
immense palm trees, oleanders in
full bloom; the great Madrone trees,
etc. Al Seattle and Portland there
were many trees that We have here,
the evergrcens, and a few new var
ieties To ne. but here l found as !
say the first of tropical vegetation
and in the forests the grand festoons
of grey moss hanging from the trees
"a sight | can never forget.
I visited with my brother and fam
lily "A few days. a ~neyer-to-be forgot
ten visit. then turned my face toward
San Francisco. that meoa of all
tourists. One can hardly describe
the sensations when coming in view
of This grand city. OF course in
reaching the city from the east side
VT cross San Francisco Bay. one
of tho most beautiful bodies of water
in the world; blue as the sky and
placid as an inland lake. It is n six
mile ride in a magnificent steamer
and perhaps a mile from shore rises
two great buttes from the water-is-
lands, mountain islands, ON which
are situated a military fort and light
house. Ii almost seems as If God
placed them there on purpose to pro-
tect the city on this side. As we
landed at the great Ferry Slips"
and looked back over the blue waters
of the bay at the city of Okland in
the distance 1t seemed almost like
an enchanted land. The great new
buildings on every hand were indeed
n great surprise. had no idea that
the city would or could be rebuilt
So quickly after the awful earthquake
and fire of April 1906. We saw piles
of old brick. fire-twisted masses of
iron and debris in many places where
splendid buildings had stood. But
the business streets are nearly res
tored with structures much more beau
tiful. stately and substantial than
those that were destroyed. as !
was told. Many public buildings
have also been rebuilt much more
commodious and beautiful than of
old. They say they got rid of
some things of which they are glad,
and they have learned some things
which will be of great benefit to
them in the future, should such an
other catastrophe oyertake them.
Great tanks or reservoirs are placed
In different parts of the city with
an arrangement of pipes so they
will have water though the earth
do quake. The new Chinatown Is
fine, with its grand Oriental struct-
res and it's great bazaars and much
less of evil. They tell you it is a
great Improvement over the old. and
can not tell hardly how they would
get along without the Chinese labor
ers. or course 1t will take a few
more years yet TO put SanFrancisco
where she was but she will he grand
er and greater thar eyer before. We
took an observation ear and went
over the city; saw many things OF
interest. then went out to the Cliff
House and Seal Rocks and Sutor's
Heighths and Gardens for one day,
We sat down and ate our luncheon
with the broad ocean at our feet.
The great seal rocks rising like pyra-
mids from the ocean and thousands OF
seals summing themselves upon them.

churches and forty banks; a splendid
street railway system; beautiful

Lord AVebury on Life.

A London dispatch says: Lord Ave bury pleasantly expounded his theory of life at school prize distribution re- gently. Life, he told his young au- dience, was not all cakes, and pleasure and pain were closely interwoven in the web of existence. Every one had anxieties and sorrows, but many writ CTS greatly underestimated the bless ings they had for which to be thank ful.
 In life sunshine and shadows succeed ed each other as quickly as on an April day. Happiness or sorrow depended great deal on events. Persons brood ing over them; if they magnified their troubles they made themselves miser- able; if they looked to sunshine they would find much to be thankful for.
 They lived in beautiful world, but a steady perseverance was necessary for success, and good solid work was necessary for peace of mind and healthy body. Most of them would have to work for money but let them not sacrifice their lives to it.
