The spirit of the San Francisco people after the great disaster expressed itself in lighter ways, too, writes French Strother, in the World's Work. A steel building on Van Ness avenue, with every window space gaping frcm a gutted interior, bore a freshly painted sign "The Hotel Baltimore Is Now 'Open' for Business." It was wic3 open. In front of every house was a stove set up in the street and shielded from the wind, because no fires were al lowed in the houses until the chim neys could be inspected. These wind breaks almost invariably bore some jodular legend. Some were named "Zinkands" or "Taits" or "The Poodle Dog," after famous restaurants of the city. One sign read, "Well .aken," and below It a finger pointed to the next shack, on which was painted: "Same Alive." There were dozens of "Haj-py Homes." In San Jose I saw a building, completely wrecked from which a sign announced that "E. W. Jack Has Been 'Earthquaked' to IS West St. Jctn Street (Just Around the Corner)." Another "From These Ruins Will Rise San Jose's Greatest Grocery Store." But perhaps the most effective expression I saw of the spirit with which losses were borne was on a street car cn Devisadero street. A well-dressed joung woman recognized a young man standing by a seat several feet away. "Burned out?" she inquired. He smiled pleasantly and answered quite simrdy, "yes. Nothing more was said-

o. Comforts anl Luxuries Far the DonrdlDK School Mfna. If petting a yoiniii girl ready for board;;:?? school uiesnt only the selection of her elothmg the task would be a comparatively easy one, but nowadays when each student has a room and bed to herself, mothers feel that i thc-v must make these small boudoirs i a attractive and homehke as possible and to this end send furniture, pictures and rugs and hangings, besides the bed and table linens that are required in most institutions. If convenient ship from home as many pieces of furniture that the .girl likes as can be spared, for when she is tired or Hue and sees a familiar writing desk or easy rocking chair, a pic ture from the living room she is fond of or even a small rug that has pleasant associations in her mind she feeds soothed and the room becomes a real haven of rest. Send things to make this bedroom bright and cheerful. The dainty comb and brush sets, manicure pieces or pincushions, boxes for holding; ribbons aud ties if made In delicate pink silk or light blue chintz or cretonnes make a remarkable difference in the appearance of the apartment and give the finishing touches that immediately stamp the room as a comfortable one ' instead of a furnished room fitted for a temporary lodger. A small set of book shelves hung on the walls and filled with the volumes the occupant likes best adds to the real comfort as well as to its appearance. Even solid linen bags attached to the dresser or wall if made of pretty denim or cretonnes and tied with a big white cord and tassel give a desirable personal touch, besides being eminently useful for storing away collars and shirt waists that have been worn. Whether a girl does fancy needlework or not, a workbasket lined with bright colored chintz or silk and fitted with black and white thread in both Bilk and cotton as well as any other shades that correspond with the frocks she possesses should be a part of the content.?, for they may be needed at any time to mend a rent in the material or to sew up a srani that is ripped. Then, too, darning cotton and an e?g shaped darner must be included, for boles in stockings should be mended. and careful f-irls will find a well equipped workbox with plenty of needles of all sizes, scissors and bodkins an advantage in keeping their wardrobes in condition. In cases of emergency a small medicine chest will be found useful, and the mother who provides one for her daughter before she leaves home for the year will have supplied her with the means of staving off a cold, curing a headache, caring for a cut or healing a bruised spot that might cause suffering except for the home remedies. In this chest there should be, besides J the cold cream for chapped hands and skins roughened by the harsh winds, camphor, vaseline, alcohol, ginger, arnica, a simple cough mixture and one of the Sun cholera mixtures. Another box that should be carefully prepared is the toilet chest, with all the necessities for a comfortable and refreshing bath. It should include at least half a dozen cakes of good soap, euch as castile or any of the white varieties that are free from scent; two bottles of a choice toilet water, either violet, lemon verbena or a scent that girls prefer, and a box or two of talcum powder. There should be half a dozen large bath towels; a dorren wa'sh rags in addition to a dozen hand towels, for a girl should never be skimped on these articles necessary for personal cleanliness, as well as for health. A large sponge, a brush for the nails and perhaps one for the face and body may be included in this wash list if not too expensive. New York Telegram. Antique Card Table. The up to date woman is looking high and low for antique card tables which are the fad jut now.

To Make an Oil Stove Burn Well. Thoroughly clean and refill every time after using. If you allow oil and dirt to accumulate on it, it is sure to smell unpleasant when lighted. Don't cut the wick, but rub off the charred parts with a rag or a piece of paper. Always turn the wick down before extinguishing it and leave turned down till you are going to light it again. Remember that the 'top of the part tip and down which the wick runs needs to be kept thoroughly clean. Give It a rub inside and outside every time you clean the stove, and if a crust j forms round the top scrape it occa sionally.
