THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1895. e VINE TR A | Above me, on the mountain-top, my | neighbor, the poet, has a garden of roses. He has terraced the mountain for 200 feet | or more, and has converted the terraces | into masses of beautiful blossoms.

Some fell upon | rn\lm! and bore hips and haw ome fell in the rich alluvial s valleys and became improved by | the change; others were borne to far- | away lands, where all the conditions were | different. i Thus the family was broken up and | separated. The flowers, the leaves, the | order of growth all bespeak acommon | stock, and one great characteristic of the | entire family is the tendency to produce a | fleshy receptacle for its seeds. We saw | this in the hard red “‘hip” of the dog-rose. | We see it in the delicious white “frait” of | the nectarine. But the fruits differ widely. First, be- | cause of natural selection ; second, through | artificial selection on the part of man. Something in the soil and the surround- ings where the seed fell produced from the | rose seed the primitive cherry. In the be- | ginning those ¢ ies that were brightest and most attractive in color caught the eves of the creatures, birds and small arboreal animals, that ate them. When the cherries were eaten the pits were scat- tered abroad. These produced their kind. They intensified the tendency to redness and attractiveness. The green, the hard, the unattractive drupes did not get eaten | nor tered, and so did not reproduce their kind so freely. So }be general ten- Lt 'y was to improvement, Climatic influences werealsoat work. In the colder northern climes the seeds had a smaller chance for life. So, following a law of nature that holds in every form of life, greater provision was made for repro- | duction. The apple, the pear and the | quince have numerous seeds where the plum, the peach and the apricot have but one. These seeds, too, are encased in a much warmer protective covering, a swol- len mass of the fruit stalks, the better to withstand the frosts that ripen and mellow | the outside envelope and make it juicy and attractive for the distributing birds and creatures that devour it. For this outer envelope which we call fruit is not the fruitat all. It isonly a receptacle for the fruit which is hidden away in its heart,and to save and dis- tribute which the tree or vine expends much energy and vitality in producing these soft blankets. Sometimes these blankets are made the reverse of attractive, asin the case of the almond. By some chance fortune it came about that the pit of the almond, which is just as truly a pit as is the stone of the peach or the plum, drew from its surround- ings that which made it, instead of bitter an isonous, like the others, sweet and toothsome. It was good to eat, and preda- ceous creatures soon found it out. So the attractiveness which was the reproductive salvation of the cherry, for instance, be- came the destruction of the almond. Those nuts fairest to look upon were seen and | munity. erils that surround the vines, ying as they do, on the ground, threat- ened by every passing tread. The blackberry and the raspberry are near relatives of the strawberry, but in- stead of the seeds being imbedded in the fleshy receptacle they surround it, each seed in its separate covering. In the black- berry the seeds adhere to this fleshy recep- taclé, but in the case of the raspberries they come away from it in a thimble-shaped mass, leaving the white ‘‘hull” behind. his much natural selection has done for the rose family. Man, carrying the select- | ive process still further, has differentiated | the varieties still more. He has even pro- duced new varieties. The mnut-bearing almond, grafted with the peach, has pro- nl\weld the nectarine, which is not a nut at_all. But it is among the roses proper that artificial selection has produced the great- est number ol chang: The varieties run up into the hundreds. The roses in_the garden of my neighbor, the poet, bear scarcely any resemblance to the dog-roses that I find by the roadside. They are glo- riously double; nearly all their stamens have turned to petioles they are a hundred fold more beautiful, more fra- grant. They do not reproduce their kind. Left alone they will eventually revert to primitive forms, but iinder man’s fostering care they have become more than ever they eould be by the wayside, things of beauty and j Their meaning, their office is purely esthetic. They gratify our love for the beautiful. And who shall say that the garden of my neighbor, the poet, is less useful than that of my neighbor, the farmer? COING TO @SHUUSE. DESTITUTION OF A WOMAN WHO NURSED UNION SOLDIERS IN HARRASSED BY A WOUND AND Pov- ERTY, SHE Is ‘SEEKING A REFUGE. After many yearsof disheartening battle with the world—old and feeble—Mrs. Nel- lie E. Butler, an army nurse during the Civil War and the widow of a Union sol- dier, has decided that her only refuge dur- ing her declining years is the Almshouse. She appeared at the Mayor’s office yester- day and requested a permit to enter that institution. A month ago a rebel bullet, which had made herlame for the past thirty years, was extracted from her leg by a surgeon at the City and County Hospital. When the Civil War broke out she was a bright, handsome young woman, and like many of her fair sisters in Boston, burn- ing to do something for the wounded sol- diers of the republic who suffered for want of care in the field hospitals of the South, with two other young ladies she went to the front and nursed the sick soldiers for several months. At Port Royal a stray bullet pierced her leg and she was compelled to give up her chosen vocation. A patient in the hospital named Butler had taken a deep liking to his gentle nurse and when she Nofrcon s home she had promised to become his wife if he should return alive. When the war was over they were united and moved to Chicago, where they lived happily for many years. About three years ago her husband died, leaving her in comfortable circumstances, but misiortune and the dishonesty of a per- son to_ whom she entrusted most or her funds for investment left her practically in poverty, and she was compelled to ask for a pension, receiving, after a long period of waiting, a pittance of $12 per month. With what [ittle money she had she came to this coast four months ago, hoping to meet friends who would assist her, but on ar- riving, discovered that they had left for Australia. Her wound, aggravated by the long ourney across the continent, broke out afresh and she was compelled to go to the hospital and have an operation performed for its removal. Since then she has been ill, and her funds being entirely exhausted and no pension money coming for some time she is cgmpelled to ask for a place in ity’s refuge for the poverty stricken. utler’s conversation and appear- ance are those of an educated and refined woman with whom the battle of life has gone hard. She is at present living at 16}¢ Twenty-fourth street. TO0 BURN THE GARBAGE. The Board of Supervisors Petitioned to Let the Privilege. A. E. Williams, G. P. Rixford and Wake- lee & Co. have petitioned the Board of Supervisors to advertise for bids for the sale of a franchise for the cremation of the city’s garbage. The petition recites that the present sys- tem of dumping garbage on vacant lands is detrimental to the public health and the garbage heaps are an eyesore to the com- Attention is called to the fact that many Eastern cities bura their garbage to great advantage and at a large saving. The petitioners also say that the garbage carts which carry the refuse through the streets are unsightly and that there is great danger that in times when epidemics prevail contagion may be spread by the droppings from the carts. The carts, it is urged, also add to labor of the Merchants’ Association in keeping the streets clean. The petitioners ask that the life of the franchise be set at fifty years as a shorter period would deter bidders from entering; into competition inasmuch as a plant adequate for the usx;))mse would cost in the neighborhood of $250,000. They state that if the board will order :be bids they will enter into the competi- ion. > A LAUNCH FOR ALASKA. Trial Trip of a Swift Little Craft to Be Made To-Morrow. A steam launch has just been completed at the National Iron Works for the Alaska Improvement Company, and the little craft will be given her trial trip to-morrow from Howard-street wharf. The vessel is eaten. The green, hard, unattractive ones alone were left. These did not get very widely distributed, and they only grew in very favoring places. They relied upon the wind and the chances that rolled them about, but they did reproduce their kind, which was extremely green and hard and bitter, with a comparatively hard inner shell to protect the toothsome meat, until in time we had the only true nutin the ‘whole rose family. Technically speaking, however, they are all nuts. The strawberry is just as truly a nut asis the almond. The strawberry is rhaps the most attractive of the whole amily. What we call the berry, however, is merely a receptacle for the fruit, which is the innumerable little hard yellow nuts, which we call the seeds, that defy even the 40 feet inlength,9 feet beam and has a depth of hold of 3 feet. Her engine will be 80 horsepower, capable of developing a speed of from 12 to 14 knots an hour, 'Ehe launch goes to Alaska on the bark Har- vester.

HOW MEN MAY DRESS WELL. THE VERY LATEST STYLES OF MASCULINE COSTUME DESCRIBED. BUCKSKIN VESTS THE THING. SHORTER CoATs AND HIGHER CoL- LARS WILL BE WORN—SLEEVES TO BE CREASED. NEew York, March 5, 1895.—The edict has gone forth, and in a few weeks the heavy “swells” of New York—the men whose chief pride and glory consists in leading the fashion—will be wearing.cutaway coats with crescent-shaped pockets at the sides and sharp creases in the sleeves. The practice of creasing the trousers has be- come so common that the very nice have The Latest Prince Albert. buttons, although some of the double- breasted style’ will still be worn. Prince Alberts will be made of rough cheviots and vicunas, but not so the dress suits, the fashionable material here being a dull finish diagonal of fine wale. The statement in some_ recent fashion articles that broadcloth is com- ing into vogue for dress suits is_absolutely inaccurate. Mr. Bell, the Fifth-avenue authority, who is now in London purchas- ing spring goods, cabled the other day that there is not a yard of broadcloth in the English capital fit for use. This expensive material rots away very quickly unless it is preserved with unusual care, zinc cases being necessary to protect it from de- teriorating. & “Thisisa beautiful piece of goods, isn’t it?” said Fifth-avenue tailor, showing me some broadcloth that seemed of the finest quality. *Well, look at it now,” and iziving the goods a snap hetore it in two like so much paper. “That cost us $9 50 a yard and it isn’t worth a cent as you see it. Itis almost impossible to get good broadcloth at present.” Another point isthat the velvet collar for dress suits has sunk back into oblivion, and will no longer be seen on the neck of any man who would be considered well dressed. After talking with many authorities on men’s dress, I found a consensus of opinion that Americans, in spite of the money they spend on clothes, do not make as good an appearance as Englishmen, for the suffi- cient reason that the latter take more pains to study what becomes them and spend more time every day, not only in dressing, but in taking care of their clothes. ‘‘There are some men I couldn’t dress for any amount of money,” said_a prominent tail- or.*“They would spoil all my ef- forts by appear- ing in dirty shoes or with- out gloves or with some im- possible neck- tie, say a bright green. Another trouble is that American men will not change their clothes often enough. It is really econ- omy to have six or seven suits of clothes and wear them in succession through the week, but they refuse to see it. “Then _they throw their clothes about New Shapes in Hats. any way at night, insteadfof thanging the coats on frames and folding the trousers. The best thing to do with trousers, by the way, to keep them in shape is to lay them on a shelf with the creases in position and smooth them down. The heat of the hand in doing this is better than any system of been forced to seek some other distin- guishing mark. Some of them, wishing to be different from the common herd, have appeared on Fifth avenue with trousers creased at the side; but this proves an un- happy device, since it makes the legs look fat and misshapen. So the ultras will g0 back to the fore-and-aft creasing of the nether garments, and seek novelty in the arms, where the sleeves will be flattened into well-marked creases along the seams, This new fad will be especially applied to fancy goods in rough cloths, brown effects with' a_dash of green, promising wide po}nllan this coming spring. The crescent pockets are for the skirts of the cutaway coat, and show on the outside v braided and tipped at an angle, so that the hands go into them conveniently, their position being similar to that of the trousers pocket. This new feature will be very popular among ‘‘dressy” men, who will also adopt the buckskin waistcoat, which will be worn with the Prince Al- bert, the cutaway or the sack coat, tan shades being used in the daytime and pink or red for evening. These buckskin vests will be, for the most part, cut like ordinary waistcoats, although some of them are made with silk sleeves. It1Is needless to say that only a man who is always fault- less in his attire and has an extensive wardrobe will dare to appear in one of these new creations, sometimes brilliant with embroidery. As to the cut of men’s clothes, common- Sack Coat With Buckskin Waistcoat. sense people will rejoice to hear that coats with skirts of ungraceful length have had their da{. Prince Alberts will be short- ened at least three inches, reaching only about an inch below the knee, while cut- aways will not fall lower than the knee joint on tall men and two inches above it on short men. It1s not generally understood, even by tailors, that the skirts of a coat may be made to seem longer or shorter according to the position of the waist. Short men have been made very ridiculous these last months by trying to follow the craze for long skirts not at all adapted to their di- minutive persons. An artist tailor makes a short man seem to wear a coat with lon, skirts by merely heightening the waist, an§ does the reverse the waist. The general tendency this spring will be toward coats with the waists cut lower, the measurements of the cutaway for a man of fashion-plate height, that is 5 feet 8 inches, being 1714 inches for the waist and 36 inches for the entire length. Covert coat will still be worn, but only over sack coats. The new designs for trousers make them smaller, it being generally admitted among men who study dress, that the majority of their sex are not seen to the best advanfage in trousers of such ample dimensions as have been worn. Only tall, finely-made men with shapely legs can support the test of the mealbag cut, and such men in this country are felt to be in a minority. So the best tailors are using less material and fit- ting the trousers more closely to the legs, esgcclal{y below the knee. peaking of fancy waistcoats or vests, the latter being now the more approved word, those who do not care to go in for the extreme buckskin quality and yet wish to be in the fashion, w(ih lay in for spring and early summer a dozen or so fancy vests, which will be worn in a great variety of patterns with a prevalence of high- colored reds. These vests will worn with all styles of coats and will be changed several times a day. The spring sack coat will be cut single- breasted for the most part, with three for tall men by lowering Cutaway With Crescent Pocket. weights, and I have never believed in trousers stretchers. I would advise a man to have a separate pair of suspenders for every pair of trousers and to leave them buttoned fast when the trousers are put away. Then, having regulated the length accurately, he is always sure that the legs will hang properly. *‘Whoever wishes to be well dressed should study what is becoming to him per- sonally, regardless of the fashion. It is amazing the bad taste shown by men in ordering clothes. Tall, lean men are apt to have a weakness for stripes, and fat, short men for checks, whereas they should exactly reverse the thing. Then, sallow- faced men usually insist on wearing browns, the most unbecoming color they could put on. When a man is in doubt about a business suit let him get a soft gm{; that is sure to look well.” “I suppose it costs a small fortune for men to have their clothes made by you and try to follow the fashion?” *‘It costs careless men a good deal, and men who like to throw away their money. T have customers who pay me $3000 or $4000 a year for clothes; some more than that; but it is quite unnecessary. Any one who has learned the art of dressing can make as good an appearance as the best on $500 a year. But he must understand the art, and he must be willing to practice it.” A fashionable shirtmaker told me, with an air of profound regret, that the new high turn-over collar, the double-decked abomination called the ‘‘Gresham,” has come to stay. The joke of it is that these collars were originally made three or four The Correct Spring Topcoat. - years ago, not for the “swells,” but for an old man who was considered crotchety on all subjects and wished to wear them with his negligee shirts. ‘“‘Somehow they have caught on,” said ‘he. “The Troy people are now_ manufac- turing them by tens of thousands, and the whole country will be wearing them this spring. {Will the best dressed men wear them ?"* “‘Certainly not. They will wear a per- fectly straight collar, two and a fourth inches high in front and two inches high at the back. These will be worn with but- terfly ties, which are made in two ways, some with shirring (these have to be es- pecially fitted to each neck), and some with paddle-shaped ends, which are easier to tie and almost as effective. Dark rich colors will be the proper thing. ““In scarfs a large puff in the Ascot style will be worn in the spring with Prince Al- berts, and in this tie a scarfpin may be used properly, but never in any other. Gentlemen who know how to dress never put a scarfpin in a tie unless it is really of NEW TO-DAY. B e s e e o A GOLORADO’S FOR EMOST ENGINEER some use in holding the knot together. | .o 1o His Story—It Is Religiously True and Can Bs o Two New Collars and the Butterfly Tie. To put a scarfpin in a four-in-hand, or, worse still, in a butterfly tie, is absolutely bad form. It is a case of merely vulgar display. Four-in-hand scarfs will be worn with small knots and large ends, and in the best grades will not be made of satins, as these are apt to erush up. ““Colored shirts will be worn more than ever this season, and with any coat, even a Prince Albert. The most fashionable patterns will run lengthwise, the cross stripes having gone entirely out or been consigned to the cheaper grade of shirts. Shirts with collars attached are losing favor, partly on account of the difficulty of getting them properly laundried at sum- mer resorts and partly on account of the inconvenience of carrying many of them, this requiring a special shirt trunk.’” Men who would be well dressed must say farewell to their razor-toed shoes, which will be replaced this spring by the rounded toe, not very wide, a happy medium, let us hope. Tan shoeswill be worn in greater numbers than ever, and buttoned shoes for men are a thing of the past. leathers fancy tops will be accounted not in the best taste. In the matter for hats, the announcement is_for spring Derbys of blatk or brown, with low crowns, wide brims and a flattish set. The fashionable silk hat will no longer show the bell shape, but will be made with tapering crown, a style that has not been seen for years in this country. Soft hats with low crowns, wide brims and little variation in color from the pearls and browns at present in style, will be much worn. CLEVELAND MOFFETT. BEOAUSE MEN WON'T DANCE. Hostess Is Anxious, but a Good Time Is Coming Again. Hostesses are beginning to complain | with bitterness of the difficulty of finding men willing to dance. The complaint is, of course, not a new one. disinclination to exert themselves in the giddy valse or in the rather grim quad- rille. Yet gir)s continue to “love_the ball” as | dearly as the young person in the poem. ‘What can be the reason? Probably the boredom of the men is to a_considerable extent a mere affectation. Young men are, as a rule, more self-con- | scious, more childishly ' affected, than | young women. They are very nearly as vain, sometimes far more so, and a good deal more foolish. The consequence is that they are perpet. ually posing, and there are fashions in poses as there are fashions in everything else. At present it is the fashion to pose | as a non-dancer. The whole thing is too | much trouble for the gilded youth. He is | worn to a thread with intellectual exer- | tion. Dancing is a frivolity beneath his | notice.

The legend of St. Swithin is an example that will occur to every one: St. Swithin’s day if thou dost rain For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin’s day if thou be fair For forty days 'twill rain nae mair. St. Swithin, Bishop of Winchester, ac- cording to the authorof ““ The Popular An- tiquities,” was “a man equally noted for uprightness and humility. So far did he carry the latter virtue that on his death- bed he requested to be buried, not in the church, but outside the churchyard on the north of the sacred building, where his corpse might receive the eavesdroppings from the roof and his grave be trodden by the feet of passers-by. His lowly request was complied with ‘and_in this neglected spot his remains reposed until about 100 years afterward, when a fit of pious indig- nation seized the clergy at the fact that the body of so holy a member of their order was allowed to occupy such a posi- tion, and on an appointed” day they all assembled to convey it with great pomp to the adjoining Cathedral of Winchester. ‘When they were about to commence the ceremony, a_heavy rni‘nburst forth and continued without inteflmission for forty succeeding days. The monks interpreted this tempest as a warning from heaven of the blasphemous nature of their attempt to contravene the direction of St. Swithin, and, instead of disturbing his remains, they erected a chapel over his grave.” ‘St. Swithin is_christening the apples,” is the more poetical way of describing St. Swithin's rain.—The Gentleman’s Maga- zine. th — e Aluminum in Billiard Balls.

It is an established rule of the institute thatne incurable diseases are taken. If an applicant s found to be suffering from true cancer or tuberco~ lar consumption he is frankly told that he cannos be cured, though much may be done to allay his sufferings, but as medical sclence has yet failed to discover any cure for these two dreadful mala- | dies, all the physicians at the institute say treely and frankly that it is beyond human power to re- move these evils. Nevertheless it should not be forgotten that there are many instances where mistakes have been made in diagnosing thess diseases, 0 it is well for all sufferers to apply fay help at the institute. All the Following Cases Are Curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder; all bronchial diseases; all functional nervous dise eases; St. Vitus’ dance; bysteria; shaking palsy; epilepsy; all venereal diseases; all kinds of blood troubles; ulcers; wastes of vital forces; rheuma- tism: gout; eczema: all skin diseases, from what- ever cause arising; psoriasis; all blood poisoning; varicocele; polson 0ak; lost or impaired manhood; spinal troubles; nervous exhaustion and prostra- tion; incipient paresis; all kidney bago; sciatica; indigestion; constipation; all iseases; lum- dyspepsia; visceral disorders, which are treated by the depurating department.
