Had | there been no lookout the Herodot would have been burned to the water's edge and | looted, but as it was, no harm was done, es the crew turned out and extinguished the fires. The next day two of the Tierra del Fue- gans boarded the Herodot and asked for something to eat.

Captain Brandenburg, who brings the Herodot into port, was formerly chief of- ficer of the Tanis. He was also here in | 1861 in the ship Count Louis, | therefore a number of friends here. Chiet Officer E. Moller has quite a string of rel- atives in San Francisco, so his visit to California is sure to be a pleasant one. Captain Brandenburg says that after the encounter with the Indians he decided not | to try Smythe Channel, and | to sea. Very heavy weather was encoun- | tered from that on to Coronel, but after that the Herodot had fair weather to port. ‘Will Be a Coal Hulk.

Gerberding & Co. of 222 Sansome street are about to largely engage, as the agents of the Union Feed Company, Lim- ited, in the expertation of hay and feed to the Orient and to Hawallan ports other than Honolulu. They have recently com- leted the construction of warehouses at ifth and Berry streets. They have had plans drawn_for mew buildings to be erected at Honolulu at a cost of about $50,000, The public interest in these operations resides in the demand which is implied for California feed in China, the Philip- ]Anel and Jagfln. The military operations n China and in the Phlll‘;\plneg bid_fair to continue some time and there will be a large demand for feed for the army horses during that period. The German Government's array of horses, which al- ready aggregates F0), is constantly get- ting larger, for agents are still purchasing in all parts of California. The demand for surplien for the Russian and GerMan ar- mies is expected to be very large. Mr. Gerberding said yesterday that the outlook for all raisers of hay in Califor- nia was good. He did not anticipate that the price of hay would be , but 11. believed that there would be a sale for very large quantities. His company has a rocess for compressing hay so that a on can be put in a very small space. As the price of transportation by steamer is generally based on the space taken this condensation of fodder involves a great saving of freight : money, and, con- sequently, will be largely advant; us, Mr. Gerberding believes the California farmers will make money raising hay. One More Gas Case. 8. Mori, a Japanese servant in the em- ploy of Mrs. Lizzie Cu?enter. 1628 O'Far- street, was found dead in bed yester- day morning.

XI. (Concluded.) In 1500 there was in England no system | of Government education, and as late as 1818 half the children never saw the inside of a school. The education of the poor was entirely the work of private charity. The education of a gentleman in 1500 would to-day be considered a very poor affatr—a smattering of Latin and Greek | and a full course in dancing and gal lantry. With noble ladies the course was still more superficial, ceasing entirely at 14, when the dissipations of fashionable soclety were entered. In America, on the contrary—in New England especlally—the women had better educational opportuni- ties than the men, not so much in the schools as in the time for home study. During Jefferson’s administration (1801-03) | colleges and universities were established in almost every State. In 1808 five col- lege students who were unexpectedly caught in a storm united in an impromptu | “haystack prayer-meeting,” the outcome of which was the first foreign missionary | soclety .in America. Delegates to other colleges kindled the . same spirit, and shortly afterward the American Board of }‘orelfn Missions was established. The American Bible SoclelK was also founded about this time. By the befiinnlnslot the nineteenth century, Méthodists, Presby terians, Episcopallans, Roman Catholi Friends and Unitarians had independent organizations flourishing under the first constitutional amendment, which states that ““Congress shall make no law respect- ing an establishment of religion or pro- hibiting the free exercise thereof.” The remainder of the amendment forbidding “the abridgment of the freedom of speech or of the press” was one of the foundation stones upon which the success of our Government was buflded.

It was but natural that independence in political feeling and the ever-changing condit of home life | should permeate all social relations and | level fo er class distinetion.

Thomas Jefferson had just been elected ¢ and journeyed on hors pital, which _had been re- moved the preceding year from Philadel- hia_to the District of Columbia. Our andsome city of Washington “‘was then conglomeration of splendid a strange building: half finished, and wretched huts.”” Washington's death had just plunged the country into the deepest Erief, which found curious expression mottoes printed, embroidered stamped upon china—pictures of the pa- triot’s tomb and other funereal emblems hanging upon every wall.

The men more slowly re- linquished the picturesque colontal dress which so well set off Washington's man- 1y bearing for the French mode, but after a twenty years’ struggle they succumbed to the pantaloons. At the time of the in- | troduction of these garments they were worn tight-fitting and’ let into the shoes. A gentleman of 1500, after describing at length the miseries which he endured when wearing the boots of the period—al- beit he demeaned himself as though he were “a carpet knight capering upon rose leayes”—concludes the description of his attire with the following: *“The panta- loons (over which T wore the boots) were Tt would be un- just to my tailor to v that they were fitted like my skin: they sat a great deal closer. When I took them off my legs were like fluted pillars. grooved with the abrds of the pantaloons.” Despite the excruciating pangs Incident to the adoption of fashions from France. we are indebted to the people of that country for many of our most comfort- able customs. To them we owe the estab- lishment of public baths and an increas- ing love of personal cleanliness.

Dolls, or puppets, as they were called in the eighteenth century, were at- tired in the prevailing mode and were sent to the various courts of Europe. Aftar a while they were sent to the colonies from town to town - from house to house. Quaint advertisements were placed in the newspapers stating when these fashion dolls would be on exhibition.

These battered fashion dolls were as eagerly coaxed for by the little maids of 1800 as are discarded fashion plates for paper dolls by the children of to-day.

I our great-grandmother's day a premium seemed to have been put upon delicate health or at least upon the appearance of it.
