KING OF THE GUUF.
The Resident and Hla Home Among the
Motley Crowds of Doshire.
Bushire is the .capital of the English
protectorate in the Persian gulf. Here
onr resident lives, who may be styled
king- of the gulf, and before whom all
the petty potentates along- its shores,
be they on the Arabian or Persian side,
bow down. He has -his steam yacht
and his steam launch provided for him,
a British man-of-war is appointed to
be always in readiness to do his bid
dings and the British residency, with
its flagstaff and extensive compounds,
is by far the most conspicuous building-
in the town, says the Fortnightly
Review.
Bushire is a truly horrible place,
builtat the edge of a split of sand run
ning out into the gulf. Its population
is very mongrel Arabs, Persians, Hin
doos, are all hopelessly mixed up there
in. It has an English bank. What
with its English residency, English
bank, English telegraph, English
steamers' agents and English men-of-war,
Bushire is as English as could
well be wished. Lawn tennis may bo
seen upon the quays, ladies may play
and ladies may ride without incurring
more than an ordinary amount of star
ing from the Moslems.
It is confidently asserted that, if the
Karoun route is opened out into the
heart of Persia, Bushire will cease to
be the seat of our resident, and the cap
ital of our Persian gulf protectorate
will be removed to Fao or some other
spot which has not yet got a name. If
that time ever comes, and Bushire
ceases to be the chief outlet. for, the.
Persian caravan trade, , the place will
not long survive, for it has no preten
sions whatsoever to call itself a har
bor. Big steamers have to anchor at
least two miles off land outside a sand
bar, and, if the sea is very rough.landing
is next to impossible. Bushire chances
to be the outlet for ther roads across
the Kotals, and if it ceases to be that its
reason for existence will cease also.
TREES THAT GIVE MILK.
Sonth American Natives Do Their Milking
Without Using Their Hands.
' Dr. Spruce, the renowned South
American traveler, mentions a treo a
member of the dog bane family ,he
juice of which is used as milk, says
Chambers' -Journal. On the bark be-
ing wounded the milk flows abundant
ly, and is of the consistency of cow's
milk, of the purest white, and awect
to the taste. The Indian mode of tak
ing it is to apply the' mouth directly to
the wound, and thus receive the milk
as it flows. Dr. Spruce says he has,
often partaken of it without experienc
ing any ill effects.
In Guiana, the natives employ the
milk from a tree belonging to the same
family as the list named; in the ver
nacular it is known as hyahya, and to
botanists as Tabernaemontana utilis
- (so named after Jacobus Theodoras
' Taberaaeaontanus, a German physi
cian and botanist). The milk has the
same flavor as sweet cow's milk, but is
rather elicky on account of its contain
ing some caoutchouc.
In Para, a lofty tree, belonging to
the star apple family, attaining a
height of one hundred feet, is used in
a similar manner to the others men
tioned. Incisions are made in the bark,
and the milky juice flows out copious-
ly. about the consistency of thick
cream, and if it were not for its taste,
which is somewhat peculiar, could be
hardly distinguished from it.
. Missouri Spanish.
A drummer who had traveled all
over California sat in a Pullman car
with a. Missourian, and, as the latter
was a newcomer, gave him much in
formation about the state.
"By the way," said the Missourian,
after awhile, Vyou seem to know most
of the towns in this yer state. Ever
been in As-you-say?" The drummer
gasped, and then responded:
"No; As-you-say is a new one on me
I have been in several outlandishly
named places, but never in As-you-say.
got the letter here," replied the
Missourian; "it's from a friend of mine
as lives there." And he handed over
. an envelope stamped "Azusa.CaL" The
drummer will not believe all he hears
in Missouri Spanish hereafter.

MIDWINTER FAIR.
California Midwxntkb Interna- )
tional Exposition. Department V
of Publicity and Promotion. .
Weekly Circular Letter No. 13.
San Fbancisco, Jan. SI, 1894.
Nothing was lacking to make the offic
ial opening of the California Midwinter
International Exposition a success in
every sense of the word. In the first
place, the sun came up gloriously, in a
Eky as clear as a bell, and all day long it
shone down upon happy San Francisco.
Happy was she in the thought that it
Was her lot to be cradled in the lap of a
land where such weather is a midwinter
possibility, and proud was she that she
had to place before the thousands of
people who visited her fair on that day
a program of such incontrovertable ex
cellence and of such unimpeachable at
tractiveness. The opening exercises took place on
a grand stand especially erected for this
occasion, with a seating capacity of 7,000.
The seats were all taken and tens of
thousands of visitors gathered on the
greensward in front of the speakers'
platform. The total number of people
who passed through the turnstiles was
72,348. - Nearly ten .thousand of these
were in the procession which marched
in triumph to the exposition grounds.
There were more bands in this street
pageant than were ever before Seen in
San Francisco. Halt a dozen of these
musical organizations, occupying a place
on the grand stand, joined in unison in
the patriotic features of the musical
program.
When the opening overtures had been
played, James D. Phelan, the president
of the day, made his address, introduc
ing at its close the Bt. Bev. Bishop
Nichols, who offered np the invocation.
The assemblage stood with uncovered
heads in the warm midwinter sun, with
the green hills towering above them, and
not a harsh element in the air blew
across their brows. People from the
East took off their top coats, on this 27th
of January, and made of them cushions
for their seats. As the bishop called
upon the Almighty to make glad the
heart of everyone present in this land of J
sunshine, fruit and flowers, each visitor '
from the snowbound districts undoubt
edly said "Ament"
The scene was one that no stranger
could fail to be impressed with, and so
it was also when the governor of Cali
fornia, Hon. H. H. Markham, came to
extol the managers of the exposition for
the wonderful things they had accom
plished within the five short months
which had passed since the original con
ception of the idea. On every hand
were material evidences of the beauty
and power of this great Empire State of
the Pacific, and when Director General
M. H. de Young, to whose fertile brain
and untiring energy California owes this
exposition when he arose to deliver his
address a mighty shout went up and
honor was there accorded to whom
was due. Mr. de Young bore his honors
modestly. Best of all, his speech was
Bhort,- and when Mrs. de Young was
asked to press the button which should
set the machinery in motion, she did so
gracefully, and this was all there was to'
the formal ceremonies of the opening
the great Midwinter Fair.
The act of starting the machinery was
signalized by the shriek of every whistle
in the exposition grounds, by the blare
and fanfare of artillery within full sight
of the assembled multitudes. On the
same spot, when evening fell, there was
a grand display of fireworks, but in the
interim the recreation ground was de
serted, for everybody made a. grand
rush as soon as the opening exercises
were over to" visit the main buildings of
the exposition and to patronize the con
cessional features. It mattered not that
some of the exhibits were incomplete as
yet, for there was enough to keep all
eyes and all thoughts busy during what
was left of that short afternoon, and
everything, finished or unfinished, was
novel and unique to everobody. -
It was in the concessions, however,
that the holiday spirit of the crowd waa
made more prominently manifest. The
'49 Mining camp immediately established
itself as one of the most popular institu
tions in the exposition. Seven thousand
people paid their way into this conces
sion on opening day. The Firth wheel
carried nearly six thousand, the Scenic
Lrailway was loaded down all day and
far into the night: the Wild Animal
Arena, the Ostrich Farm, the Trirjian
Encampments, the Hawaiian Village,
the Vienna Prater, Heidelberg Castle,
the Aquarium, the Sea Lions, the Colo
rado Gold Mine, and the scores of other
concessions did a big business, and
everybody seemed satisfied with the pat
ronage they received.
y All this established beyond a doubt
the popularity of the Midwinter Exposi
tion. Since the opening day there has
been an average daily attendance of
8,000 people, or as many as paid admis
sion, so the great World's Columbian
Exposition during the first few days
after the official opening. - Visitors are
loud in their praise of what they have
seen and are freely predicting that the
exposition will be an immense success. !
The exposition management begin to
feel as if they could take time for a
good night's rest now and again, for
their undertaking has now been fairly
launched, and they are willing to trust
its drawing powers to prove sufficient for
its satisfactory continuance for- the en
entire term of six months. :
The great glory of a California winter
is just now at its height. People riding
in the open street cars read of fhe bliz
zards and snow blockades that harass
their eastern friends, and once more the
word of welcome passes along every , line
of eastern railroad: Come to California,
see the great . Midwinter Fair, and get
warm. . ' j
