TJ The work of preparation far the Ex position has bow reached a point when the osthetio ideas of the management an beginning to hear fruit All the um building! an practically finished, ga tar the detaila of contraction are eraosmad, and now oomee the matter of decoration. Charla Graham, the well-known artist better known, per fcapa, in the East than California on 4oeonnt at hia extenaiBperienoe with 'ft Harpers, and nrn aweently with he Colombian ExpoaiUoa haa been ap pointed aa dinctor of eotar for the Kid winter Exposition, and to hiin falla the aiuty of superintending tb decoration f the Exposition building. There has keea made no effort in this connection to pattern after the Columbian Exposi tion. The term 'White Uty", will Mil he appropriirtely applied to this Exposition. Mr. Graham's idea haa teen to let delicate tints predominate, nd to so distribute and arrange these that the peculiar atmospheric effects of the California climate shall be utilised to enhance their harmony and increase then- beauty. Warm tones are not par ticularly necessary in the decoration of any group of buildings in this glorious chmite of California, and the darkness of background afforded by the almost black foliage is a magnificent setting far the delicate tints which are to pre Tail Some excellent effects hare already been partially produced on the main buildings, although none of them are yet to be seen in tht fullness of perfec tion. There will be a great deal of gold in the scheme of color, although not enough of it to give the architectural group the name of the "Golden City. The domes of the Administration build ing will be heavily gilded, and the west ern sun, striking full upon them, will undoubtedly play a very important part in the pictnresquenesB of the pano rama. Mr. Graham says that several of the buildings of this imposition sur pass m perfection of detail and architec tural development the buildings of the Colombian Exposition, and that in the line of opportunity offered for pictur esque and laudscape effects, the like has never been seen in any exposition. The ornamentation of the grand central court is also receiving a great deal of attention just now. The elec trical fountain is being installed in one end. the basin for the allegorical fount ain is in place at the other, and the sculpture will soon be ready to De put in iweition. The electric tower has reached a third of its height, and two mare weeks will see it completed. Eight or ten inches of rich loam has beim Bpread over the entire surface of the grand plaza, and on it will he sown the seed of the flowers and foliage which are to make this the me at beau tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden Gate Park. There has already been transplanted to this grand parallelo gram a large number of bamboo plants and date palms that have been artisti cally distributed, and nave made a favorable impression on the public, which warrants the assertion that the picture to be presented within the lines of the court, around which the main buildings are situated, will be one of surpassing loveliness. The Venetian masts, several hundred in number, which are to stand like a line of sol diery around this court, are already in position. These are to bear the flags of all nations by day, and electric arc lights at night; and bet ween them the sun will shine upon long hues of parti-colored streamers, while the darkness of each succeeding night will De reiicveu oy long lines of incandescent lights and fancy lanterns in the development of the carnival effects which have been contemplated in this connection. The work on the concessional build ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The exposition will be nearer ready on open ing day than has been the case of any large exposition in the history of the world. The management of the Expo sition are to be particularly congratu lated on the fact that in the erection of the 10 odd structures within the Expo sition grounds, on which there has been an aggregate expenditure of nearly l,0hO,OOO, there has, thus far, occurred no labor trouble, no accidents, and not even an alarm of fire. The programme for opening day has sot yet been completed, but the cere aumies will be of character to war rant the rmbottllnr of all the enthusi asm which flan Francisco and the ad ioinina cities and towns hare been get- iug up for this occasion. It took the business men of Ban Francisco a long while to wake up to the importance of this Exposition, but there is no longer any room tat Biticism on una score, and it is safe to say that when opening day shall arrive the city will be more gaily decorated sud its inhabitants will turn out more universally wan on any other occasion that has marked the his tory of California, A feature of the Exposition which has now been fully developed is that which is to include the display of citrus fruit from different parts of the state. There are in the state two citrus fair associa tions that of Southern California and that of the Northern citrus counties. Both these fairs will he held this year in connection with the Midwinter Ex position, and it will lie interesting to .Eastern people to know that these grand displays of oranges and lemons are anade in the months oi January ana .February. The management of the state citrus fair northern district has Juat announced its dates ho be from Jan. 15 to Feb. lo, ana that oi southern California will be on at the same time. la .addition to these eitrus displays Fresno county has completed arrange ments to erect a model at her court house to be constructed of oranges and raiaiaa, so that Eastern visitors will see more sHmderful displays of the golden fruit than haa ever been made else where. . Tt Kill as Ge Derail ML "It keeps one so busy making a liv ing," said a man of family, "that I dont perhaps pay as much attention as I should to the forms of speech, but I think that my children more than make up for anything that I lack in this re spect, and I wish they wouldn't insist as they do upon my conforming in this matter to what they call the usages of polite society. The latest phase of this subject occurred last evening at dinner. My wife looked across the table at me and said: "Hot 'doantchoo,' yon understand, but 'don't you,' with the dont and the you pronounced separately and distinctly. Not being prepared for this, it made me laugh, but my eldest daughter frowned, and when my eldest daughter frowns I don't laugh, so I said yes' and stopped laughing. "I've been accustomed all my life to saying 'doantchoo' for don't you, and 'entail' for at all, and things like that, but the children tell me that nobody talks that way nowadays, and so I sup pose I have got to give it up. "They had before insisted that I should have my clothes stylishly cut and with the trousers sharply creased; that I should wear stylish hats and fashionable shoes, and now they insist that I shall speak correctly. Take it all together, I think they are making life pretty hard for their poor old father. Still they're nice children, and I suppose m have to Try to keep up with the pro cession." New York Sun. mat JDALGLEISH & EVERETT, The Pearly Gate Ajar. An ancient legend says that the angel on guard at the door of heaven wan once asked by an inquisitive passer if more married or more single women passed through. "More married ones." he promptly an swered. "Indeed T said the questioner, whowat a man, and who immediately began to plnme himself. "Their has bunds vir tues of course admitted them. That was right. The stronger should aid the weaker." 'No," replied the angel, "that is not the reason,' "Then whatisitr -"Well, if yon must know," said the angel confidentially, "we pass them first n their own merits. Lots of em get through that way. Then, when we can't find any other recommendation for a married woman, it is written against her name, 'These are they which have come up out of great tribulation,' and the Sates fly open," THE CHILDREN'S ROOM.
