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. .

"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.

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,"
