The usual help from the executive departments, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum and the Life-Saving Service are asked. Buildings to cost $250,000 are to be an additional contribution by the Government. 1t is to be an international exhibition of arts, industries, manufac- tures and the products of the forest, mine, soil and sea. In the seven years’ interval between now and the opening the expected great increase in Pacific commerce will be fairly launched as a result of the new awakening of China and the progressive policy which her rulers are diligently trying to prepare their people for. Judging by rapidity of the rate of increase the United States is ac- knowledged, even by foreign economists, to be destined to lead the world in commerce. That fact gives to San Francisco, as the prin- cipal American port on the Pacific, an importance so great that an exppsition held here to commemorate the ocean’s discovery by civ- ifizdtion and to stimulate the exploitation of its commercial ad- vantages will attract the world’s attefition, and should be con- ducted on a scale that will fitly do honor to the city and the nation so eminently interested in the Pacific.

Just listen: The Duchess of Somerset, the Duchess of Marlborough, the Duchess of Buck- ingham, and the Duchess of Bedford. La! How fluidly the titled names flow from my fountain pen! Poor cross old Duchess of Somerset. She hasn’t any children. And so, of she knows the proper way to mistress of the village where she dwells read fairy tales to wide-eyed British youngsters, Instead, she must give them bread and butter slices of biography, with Milton, Dante, Julius Caesar or Na- poleon stuck in for filling, whenever thelr intellectual appetite demands a lunch between the regular meals. Poor bables of to-day. Never were you more hopelessly at the mercy of your elders than you are now. You do not know what it is to be sung to sleep; our spirit_has never responded to the drowsy swing of a lullaby’s rhythm. You are never kissed, except at the back of your neck, or under your ear, or on the crink- ly, ticklish soles of your shell-pink feet. and “Mar- guerites,” and fed on germless milk and patent breakfast foods. You are not even permitted to suck your sweet, delicious morsel of a thumb. At least that's the way it is in Ameriea, and probably the situation has become much worse in England, where parental authority is over six feet tall. And what a world of wonder you will miss, unlucky little Johnny Bull—you and your chunky little Saxon sister—if the Duchess of Somerset downs the other titled ladies three, and shuts out from your childish view the miracles of fairyland. You will never get a glimpse of this enchantment unless you get it now. And when you come to be as old as I, you'll not be able, I'm afraid, to leave your cares behind you now and then, the while you wander among the haunts of wood- iand folk and try to catch the music of the fairy bells aringing. You'll never find your childhood then, I fear, by chancing on a cobweb in the grass that glistens yet with beauty newly wrought by fairy fingers that worked in the night while all your house was sleep- ing. A ring of toadstools that you stum- ble on as you take a short cut across the corner of a fleld will be just a ring of toadstools, and not a small deserted — banquet hall, where elves have spent a midnight hour in reveling. I wouldn't- have any child on earth miss fairyland. For its glamour is part of the lustrous light of childhood’s happy hours, a light that lingers still for some of us in this dim grown-up world, where common daylight pales at noontide, and even sunsets of themselves would fail to penetrate the clouded weariness of tired eyes. Not to feel a thrill:at hearing that familiar old beginning of the story. “Once upon a time,” not to keep your faith In possible enchantments, not to love the little dreamfolk of the starlight and the moonshine—oh, 1 am sure that that must mean an added lonesomeness of. life. I for® one shall believe, as long as I live, in the fairies. — e e BITS OF FUN. Mathematics—Teacher—What are the principal parts of mathematics?

Mrs. Joseph Anderson Chanslor will be a bridge hostess on the afternoon of Tues- day, January 30, having issued cards for a large number of guests. The affair, which will be helg at the Chanslor home, on Washington and Jones streets, is to be one of the largest of the season, and among those receiving with Mrs. Chaaslor will be Mrs. Frederic Wilson Kimble. PR Miss Elise Gregory, the attractive flancee of Dr. Richardson, will be the motif to-day for a large luncheon at the Claremont Country Club, Mrs, Mark Be- qua being hostess. The guests will combine an attendance from both sides of the bay. < e The dance to be given this evening by Miss Susan and Miss Mary Ertz in honor of Miss Dorothy Dunstan and Lieutenant Peace will include a number of maids and men from the Oakiand side. Though the affair will be surrounded with informal- ity, much pleasure is in store, and the half hundred guests will énjoy an even- ing of unalloyed pleasure. The list in- cludes, besides Miss Dunstan and Lieuten- ant Peace, Miss Janet Coleman, Miss Alla ‘Henshaw, Anita Thompson, Miss Edna Pratheér, Miss Evelyn Hussey, Miss Clarisse Lohse, Miss Katherine Kutz. Miss Sevilla Hayden, Miss Ruth Hough- ton, Miss Helen Dornin, Jerome Landfleld, Courtney Ford, George de Long, Frederick Greenwood, Almer Newhall, Edward Davis, Frank Corbusier, Lieutenant Truby, Joseph Rosborough, Allen Dimond and George Sessions. CRE AR Among to-day’s hostesses will be Mrs. Mountford 8. Wilson, who will entertain at a tea in her Pacific avenue home, and Mrs. Frederick Henshaw, who will offer the hospitality of her apartments at the Marie Antoinette for a similar function, from 4 to 6. Mrs. Joseph D. Grant will also entertain, having bidden thirty guests for the delights of bridge. o e The informal soclability of the ocean liner is responsible for another romance that is to-day a pleasant subject over teacups and bridge. Pretty Miss Helen Marr Davis, who left this port with her mother, Mrs. Abbott, a few weeks ago for the Orlent, is the betrothed of Delmar Smith of Manila, and soclety, recovering from the suddenness of this announce- ment, now anxiously awalts detafls for the wedding. Though his business and present home are in the Philippines, Mr.-Smith is by no means a stranger to San Francisco, and many comrades in town are hastening to cable congratulations. . . e Miss Frances Stewart was the homored guest last evening at a delightful dinner glven by Frederick Greenwood, the others bidden to greet Miss Stewart including Miss Constance de Young, Miss Ethyl Hager, Miss Elsa Draper, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas FEastland, Charles de Youns, George de Long and Jerome Landfleid. - e .

You may bet that he is dishonest from the core of him out- ward, and If all men are not dishonest, at any rate, he is. Nevertheless, my boy, I should like to have you believe that all men are not rascals; on the contrary, some of them stand straight and glori- fled. You can see it—if you are half a man—but the man who believes all men dishonest does not see it. He cannot; his eyes are blinded and blurred by con- templation of himself, hear a man of this kind condemning everybody, my boy, cut him out—he is conbidering himself and not necessarily anbody else. ——— THE RIGHT, AS YOU SEE IT. If you know you are right, then go ahead —but how are you going to know? For you'll always find some fellow to say, “Now, this is the road you should go.” Perchance it's the road that your parents taught, and you'd like to believe it true; But if your thinker won't see it thus, why, what is your soul to do? 'Tis a question to give the spirit pause, and its worries are haunting me; Yet the thing to bless, as my heart doth guess, 1s the thing that my soul doth see. Just do the right as it seems to you, and wait for the final test; Just do the right as you see the right, and take a chance on the rest, Perchance your father was somewhat “mixed,” although you belleve in him; Perchance the faith of his creed was fixed on a lamp that was somewhat dim. The soul must fight its battles alone, must answer its problems, too— It the creed of your father is not your own, just do the best you can do. Be honest at least. Though you yet may err, the white gods still will say: “Though he faltered oft in the doubtful strife, yet he did his best alway.” Oh, this thing at least each soul should Know, for this to each soul Is given: One must fight his way by blow on blow to the vantage ground of heaven. “I always despised the character of Shylock.” “So do L.

It 1Is claimed that “knowledge is power” is founded on the passage, “A wise man is strong” (Proverbs xxiv:5). Lord Ba- con, in De Heresibus, has “Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est,” which is, the ca- pacity to know is power. GREENLAND—W. B. C, City. Green- land is an island beicnging to Denmark. A great part of its north and precipitous east coast is yet unknown. There is no published record of the island having been circumnavigated. SEPARATE PROPERTY—A Subscriber, City. In the State of California a married woman who owns property in her own name, the same having been acquired by inheritance or gift, can mortgage or seil the same without the consent of her hus- band. It is her own, to do with it what she desires. —_— FEROCIOUS EAGLES. The story of an eagle attacking a boy near Gstelg, in Switzerland, has brought to light many records of these birds even attacking grown-up persons. In the spring of 1898 a postman going his rounds in the neightborhood of Sospelio, in the Riviera, was attacked by an eagle and so seriously injured that he died a few days aftefward. In the village of St. Martin Vesufia, in the same district, an eagle swooped down upor.a broed of chickens close to a cottage door. Ome was pounced m and the infurfated mother hen the eagle by one of its wings, and was dragged along the street for several minutes, the “noble bird" being unable to rise.—Chicago Journal —_—— Fish at Depth of Miles.
