Inuagement had something to do with
tbeent in transportation rates. In any
ent. the exposition has reaped a great
benefit from the reduced rates. At
ingle gate one afternoon last week
nearly 400 in greenbacks were taken in
for tickets. To an eastern mind this
feci would not convey any striking im
pression, not would it have any remark
able significance, but here in San Fran
osoo, when gold and silver an tha rule,
and greenbacks the exception, such a
fact speaks in no uncertain tones of a
hrge attendance of eastern people, or of
people who have just come from a
country where greenbacks are l legal
tender. The same story is told by the
railroad coupons which are handed in
t the gates. Their number grows
larger and larger everyday, and a sur
prising tiling in thij connection la that
the cumber of railroad coupons used for
admission is much larger from other
state than California. The fact is that
Califumians are still biding their time
tad are not rushing to ass an exposition
which they can see at their leisure later
an. People from the interior counties
any that the bulk of the Califonri popu
lation are coming to the fair in April,
liay and June. Hence it is that the last
months are sure to be better than tha
first have been. i
In the history of a great exposition it
fa interesting to note the influanoas
which make the most remarkable im
press upon its character and upon its
Bttccaa. Fully (1,000,000 have been In
vested in magnificent buildings and in
concessional features for the purpose of
attracting the crowds, yet it was left for
a great musical organixatios to raise to
the top wave of popularity and to draw
more crowds than anything else in eon
neftisn with the exposition. Sousa'a
jud came across the continent to fill a
five weeks' engagement. It reached San
Francisco on Sunday, the 16th of Much,
the day after St Patricks Day. St
Patrick's Day has been the biggest day
of the exposition. The rJnnday after it
was cold and gloomy, and the next three
days were not at all typical of thia land
of sunshine, fruit and flowers, but such
music as that rendered by the Sonus
Bind had never before been beard in
California, and the crowd went wild
over it One day there came up a
shower while the band was playing, and
wkOe s few scudded fur skelter, the
great bulk of the music lovers hoisted
their umbrellas and stood their ground
nntfl the piece of music was finished.
This band played an Easter Sunday pro
gramme in the presence of nearly 20,000
people, and played an especial in-door
concert in Festival Hall on March 28 to
an audience that almost lifted the root

f, card in all this great enterprise.
Thus far. there have been four "great-
set days" in this exposition. The first
great day on the 27th of Jann-
hen the exposition was formally
ana wnen mare than 70.000
gathered in honor of the oeoa-
the second great day was the 2Sd
of February, when nearly 40,000 people
took advantage of the legal holiday, and
when more money was spent on the ex
position grounds thm on any other of
these great days. The third great day
was that immediately following Wash
ington's birthday, the day when the ax
position grounds were thrown onen to
A the children of the public schools of San
Francisco, when 55,000 little ones, with
their sisters and their cousins and their
aunts, owned the grounds and the fnll-

More important to the world than the

Indian weed is another spot in his gar
den at Myrtle Grove, in this same
Youghal. This spot is still bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
It was here that Raleigh first planted a
curious tuber brought from America,
which throve vastly better than his to
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common report for a long
time pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from his vines he gave to other
bud owners in 11 ouster. They culti
vated them and spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be
fore many generations it became the
staple food of the Irish people almost
the only food of a greet many of them.
It was the "Irish potato" which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, ao to speak, of the Amer
ican farmer's and workingman's daily
breakfast and dinner. Sir Waiter's
carious experiment in acclimatization
became an economic step of the very

A remarkable sight to be seen from a
balloon is the bottom of lakes and ponds.
While over Lake Erie Carl E. Myers,
the balloonist, says he saw clearly a
wreck lying under 76 feet of water. It
was that of a schooner, sank 40 yean
ago. At a beigfit of half a mile the en
tire bottom of a small lake or pond can
be clearly asen, and Mr. Myers believes
that on a clear day an aeronaut of good
vision could see from a height of a mile
submarine objects at a depth of 400 or
500 feet beneath the water.

CONCERNING DREAMS.

I Doctors assert that dreams occupy
; few seconds only st most the space of
boot three minntea. This statement
Is startling to those who have not no
ticed for themselves what part time
plays in each a connection. The writor

Are dreams affected by the events of
0ur wakeful hoursf is the question that
has been asked ever and over again, but
i the result of observation leads one to be-
oration. Events that are all important
; to mtae do not commend themselves in
that light to others, and this fact leads
one to express the opinion that, avoid
ing to the intensity with which outward
events occupy our thoughts, will our
dreams be in any way affected by them.
To one woman the exercise of hos
pitality means the entire surrender of
her mental domain to all the worries,
real or imaginary, conseqneut upon the
preparations for the contemplated en
tertainment To another, the needtul
directions once given, there is an imme
diate return to oonsiderstions which out
weigh in but opinion the more material
ones that held a whilom place in her
thoughts. In the one case culinary fail
ures and visions of indifferent service
will probably haunt the dreams that
precede or follow that entertainment
In the other no Buch tortures are in
volved in the sleeping hours.
There have been startling instances of
the brain's power to solve difficult ques
tions during sleep. A case in point is
that of a lawyer engaged in a criminal
defense. The examination of one wit
ness after another seemed only to add to
the proof of hi; clieut's gnilt. Wearied
one night with trying to find some point
which might turn the scale in the pris
oner's favor, he fell asleep, and in a
dream the desired point stood out clear
ly. On awakening it was immediately
worked oot and the verdict of "not
guilty" was found consequent upon that
revelation afforded during the hoars of
sleep.

Insists that the secret of perennial youth
is to be found in the use of distilled
water and phosphoric acid. He says
that death, or disease that produces
death, is caused by the deposit in the
hnman system of calcareous or earthy
matter, and tbat the drinking of dis
tilled watei, which is itself a great dis
solvent and the use also of from 10 to
IS drops of diluted phosphoric acid in
each tumblerful of water will remove
snch deposits and prolong hnman life
to the very latest limit. In several of
the great hotels in New York distilled
water is provided at .the table and for
the use of the guests in their rooms, and
the advertisement of this fact attracts
many patrons. Detroit Free Press,
