PROMISES TO BE MERRY AFFAIR s can attract, it is safe to proph that t e will be a crush at the first fete of spring, to be given by | the chrysanthemum auxiliary of the Children's Hosp board on Saturday next. The Sorosis Club rooms, at 1620 California street, will be the scene of the bri , and the public will be rec ween the hours of 2 and 6 1 fair young chrysanthe- r never given an entert men s kind, but their dances for charity in the past two winters have been smart aff. and while they may lack the y nd experience which rea y assure the success of bazaar they have the advantages of th and popularity, which will bring stream of friends with loosened ursestrings for this worthy cause. In on the occasion of the last hos- al benefit, at the Palace maple room, [it was the chrysanthemums, bewitch- | ingly costumed as Geisha girls, who by | offering their services in the tea room |lent the brightest touch of color and piquancy to the bazaar. At the coming | fete the score of chrysanthemums will | devote themselves to visitors and pre- | | gide over the booths and refreshment tables with their most inviting smiles. In every available place attractive | booths laden with fancy work, candy and other desirable articles will be ar- | ranged to tempt the throng of patrons. | A fish pond will contain no end of sur- | prises for eager children, and the charming chrysanthemum in attend- | ance will attzgct as many society men | as juveniles. | An excellent musical programme will | be an important feature of the after- | noon’s enjoyment. Miss Laura Taylor has charge of the music, and having many mausical interests herself will procure artists well worth while. The proceeds of next Saturday’s fete will be devoted to the chrysanthemum fund, which provides a free bed from year to year in the incurable ward of the hospital. The dire necessity of a little waif cut off from all hope of health and success from the beginning of life stirs a chord of pathos in many hearts which will respond gladly to the appeal for financial aid. The following list comprises the chrysanthemum® auxiliary, most of whom are selling tickets and are other- wise working for the success of the coming fete: Miss Norma Castle, Mrs. | Jack Chase, Miss Ruth Gedney, Miss Mabel Hogg, Mrs. Edward Hume, Mrs. Richard Hovey, Miss Hovey, Mrs. Charles Harley, Miss Edna Hannigan, Miss Marie Bull, Miss Edith Bull, Mrs. | | | Richard Bahls, Miss Azalea Keyes, | Miss Georgie Shepard, Miss Lizzie | Painter, Mrs. Gardner Perry Pond, | Miss Georgie Spinker, Miss Mabel Toy, | Mise Zelda Tiffany, Miss Laura Tay- |1or, Mre.

It is mot difficult to determine that all of them, to a greater or less degree, furnished material of the “odd and ec- centric” kind. Cardinal Richelieu found pleasure and amusement in ng with boys. Oliver Cromwell sometimes cast aside his Puritan gravity and played at blind- man’s buff with his daughters and attendants; Henri Quatre delighted to go about in disguise with the peas- antry. Cowper occupied a great deal of his time in making birdcages and in feeding and caring for his hares. Dr. Johnson was so fond of his cats that he would even go out himself to buy oysters for them, his servants be- ing too proud to do so. Goethe de- | spised dogs, but he kept a tame snake. | Gray expressed the wish to be al- ways on a sofa reading new novels, |and Fenton, the eminent scholar, died from sheer inactivity; he rose late, and when he had risen sat down to | his books and papers. A woman who walted upon him in his lodgings said | that he would lie a-bed and be fed with a spoon. Contrary to this was the example of Sir Walter Scott, who wrote all his finest works before | breakfast. Spinoza delighted to set spiders fighting, and would laugh immoder- ately at beholding their insect war- | fare; and Ant! ~ny Magliabec hi, the famous librarian to the Duke of Tus- cany, took a great interest in the spiders which thronged his apart- ments, and while sitting among his | mountains of books would caution | visitors “not to hurt my spiders.” | When he felt that he needed a little | activty the great logician, Samuel Clarke, would leap over tables and chairs, and it was not infrequent that the upholsterer had to be called in to repair damages. The learned Petavius would twirl his chair round for five minutes at the end of every two hours, finding recreation in this. Tycho Brahe diverted himself with polishing glasses for spectacles. Ex-President Cleveland would quit talking politics any time to go fishing, and so it was { with Paley, the author of “Natural Theology,” who was so much given to angling that he had his portrait paint- ed with rod and line in hand. Louis XVI, of sad memory, amused himself locksmithing, while Salvator Rosa performed in extempore comedies, taking the character of a mountebank in the streets of Rome. Charles IT's most innocent amuse- ment consisted in feeding the ducks in St. James Park and in rearing num- bers of those beautiful spaniels which still bear his name. It was difficult for Beethoven to be free from a cold from the fact that he delighted in splashing in cold water at all times of the day, swamping his chamber until the water oozed through the flooring to the rooms beneath. He would also walk out in the dewy flelds' without stockings or shoes. Shelley could spend an entire day floating little paper boats on any water he chanced to be near. Poor Goldsmith’s “oddities and ec-| centricities” were chiefly dandyisms, and the story of his peach blossom coat is known the world over. Montaigne had an aversion for Fri- day, and while he preferred odd num- bers, he would not sit down to a table with thirteen people. Friday was al- ways a black day in Byron’s calendar, but Byron believed in omens, dreams, supernatural appearances, tions, presentiments and all such. He succumbed before the weakest preju- dices, and afforded proof that even the strongest intellects have always their weak side. Voltaire, whom one would suppose devoid of fear, mocker of re- ligion and bellefs, was made sick when hearing rooks cawing in the country. Hobbes did not believe in God, but appari- | he kept a light burning in his bedroom all night, being afraid of the dark. Rousseau was another who was afraid of the dark, and the approach of night brought only terror to him. Be- fore retiring at night Sir Samuel ! Romilly would always look under the’ bed to see if any one was concealed there. He dreaded to see night come. Great warriors have been afraid of {thunder. Caesar was almost thrown {into convulsions by it and Sir Thomas Aquinas suffered greatly in thunder storms. Queen Elizabeth, Talleyrand and others could not bear to have the word ‘‘death” uttered in their pres- ence. Marshal Saxe, who overthrew |armies, fled at sight of a cat.—Kansas City Star. ——————— Manchuria’s climate corresponds to that of Canada; its size is six times | that of England and Wales; its popu- lation 20,000,000. Compass That Makes Records. In the last number of the Bulletin de 1a Societe Industrielle de Marseilles we find described an apparatus invented by M. Heit which automatically regis- ters, minute by minute, the direction of the compass, so that by consulting the chart which is the result it is possible to determine what the route was that was followed at a given moment of the passage. The commander of a vessel indicates to the helmsman the route which the vessel should follow, but he does not know whether this route is followed unless he is continually ob- serving the compass. The Heit appa- ratus gives this information, register- ing every change in the position of the vessel, every move made by the helms- man and the exact time at which such | changes occurred.—Public Opinion. —_————— Salted whale meat is a Japanese deli- cacy. “Bob” Evans’ Health Failing. Everywhere'in the United States re- gret will be felt to learn that Admiral Robley D. Evans, the commander of the Asiatic fleet, is but little more than a shadow of his former robust self. “Fighting Bob” has lately undergone & great change physically, and is about ready to retire from active sea duty when his term expires. His limp is worse than ever, and the admiral's constitution. may be said to have been shattered by his last tour of duty in the Orient. While the fleet was coaling recently at Honolulu Evans kept to his apartments at the hotel. He will be succeeded by Admiral Cooper in command of the Asiatic sta- tion this month, and will then return to New York on the flagship Kentucky | by way of the Mediterranean. —_—————— Protestant Christian communicants in China number 112,808.
