From the Alta California
The Puget Sound Country.

If we Were asked for an opinion as
to what portion of the Territory Of tbs
United Stateswill make the greatest re
lative progress in population, wealth
and the development of its industrial
resources, within the newt ZEN years, we
should nothesitate toreply, SHE country
about Puget Sound" The land is fer.
tile, and is covered withidense and very
valuable timber The climate is regu.
lar, mild, and healthy, bearing great
resemblance to that of San Francisco,
There are numerous mines of coal; gold
is found in many of the streams, and
the whole country is opened to com
merce by magnificent bay, which ex-
tends two hundred miles inland, and
abounds with excellant harbors, deep
enough for the largest vessels afoat.--
This bay, named Admiralty Inlet at its
mouth, and Puget Sound in its south
ern portion. offers conveniences for in
ternal trade unequalled probably by any
other bay in the world. There is no
bar at the mouth, and vessels can pass
either way in all kinds of weather,
while inside the depth of water in the
channel is in no place less than fifty
feet. ..-...... ....... ~
South of the sound there is a Level
tract of fertile land, over which rail
road might easily be made to the Co
lumbia riyer, q distance of sixty miles
and the ashingtonians hope that i
they can get the railroad, they will get
with it large share of the trade of the
valleys of the Columbia and Willamette
trade which new passes through the
difficult and dangerous entrance Of the
Columbia, where the steamer Repub
lie was not long ago detained for eight
days before she could get out.
The Puget Sound country had just
made start in the development of its
resources in 1855 when the Indian wal
broke out, drove away the families
ruined many of the settlers, and put s
stop to most of their improvements
The damage from the Indians is now
effectually and finally removed, anC
Washington Territory will this yea
take new start.
og The sound already has considerable
trade for its small population. There
are on its banks sixteen saw mills, capa
bic of turning.out,l 100000 feet Of sawl
lumber annually. It's straight and tai
timber is valuable for spars, and car
goes of them are sent TO New York
England, and Australia. The farmer
on the sound have sent 5000 barrels
Of flour of last years crop to San Fran
cisco, and this year they will senC
far more. There are several flourish
ing towns in the Territory, of which
the principal are Olympia and Stella

HERE is STUFF TO THINK OF !-"The
number OF languages spoken is 1904.
The number ofmen is about equal to the
number of women. The average OF hui
man lite is 3s years. One quarter die
before the age Of I. One-half before
the age of II. TO every 200 persons,
one only reaches 100 years. To every
100, only reach IS years; and more
than ia 500 reaches the age of 80 years.
There are on earth 100000 900 of in
habitants. OF these, $685. 1913 die ev-
cry day; 1870, every hour, and so every
minute--or l for every second. These
losses are about balanced by an equal
number of births. The married are lon
ger tired than tie SINGLE and above all,
those who observe n sober and indus
trious conduct. Tall mon live longer
than short ones. Women have more
chances Of life previous to the age of so
years than men, but fewer after. The
number of marriages is in proportion Of
70 TO 100. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoXes-th is, during the
months Of June and December Those
born in spring are generally more robust
than others. Births and deaths are
more frequent by night than by day
Number Of men capable of bearing arms
is calculated at one-fourth of the popu-
ation.

MISUNDERSTANDING the past fifteen
years, 1907 ,Ol8 foreigners have arrived
in the United States OF this number,
2,34S,lSl were males and l,556,753
were females, and the sex of I, Os4 is not
stated. In.lS44, the number arriving
was only s4,764. A steady increase
followed from that period, until 1850,
when the immigration was but $3.50.
The year Immediately following there
arrived 4Os,s38, and this was about the
average for four years; the number in
1854 being 400, 474 The tide has since
then decreased one-half, the number last
year being 271, 5ss. The causes produc-
ing these fuctuationsjare various. The
European wars, the Australian gold ad.
ventures, the improved condition of the
middle and lower classes in Europe are
among them It Is doubtful whether in
any succeeding year, the immigration
will reach 100000 souls.
Of these passengers who arrived in
the United States in 1857, it lis stated
243, $50 declared their intention to re
side here. Nearly one-third of the
foreign immigrants were natives of Ger

Boiled coffee, it is well known, is su-
perior to coffee made after the French
fashion, by straining; but when boiled
in an ordinary coffee pot, the fine aroma
goes off with the vapor, leaving the in
fusion flat or bitter, hence resort by
many housekeepers to the French big
gin. Recently, there has been patented
new coffee pot which entirely removes
thecommon election ofwaste ofstrength
and flavor by evaporation in boiling
1t is called the sold Dominion Coffee
Pot" and is made with condenser at
the top in which two syphons are ar
ranged. After the coffee and water are
placed in the coffee pot, the condenser,
containing small portion of cold wa
ter, is put on, and the spout closed with
movable cap, so that not particle
of vapor can escape. AS soon as the
coffee begins to boil, the vapor, instead
of being given off into the room, passes
up one of the syphons, and is condensed
by the cold water, into which as muon
of the aroma as was carried off with the
vapor is discharged. As the coffee con-
tinues to boil, the vapor, loaded with
the aroma, continues to pass through
the syphens into the water held in the
condenser, until this water is raised
above the level of the other syphon,
when the whole passes back, by sue
ton, into the coffee below. Thus the
coffee is boiled, and yet does not lose
a particle of its fine aroma or strength.
Several attempts have been made to
construct a coffee pot that would accom-
plish this desirable object, but until the
."Old Dominion Coffee Pot" appeared,
none was found entirely adapted to the
purpose. 1t seems about as near per-
lection as can at present be attained.
1t is simple in construction, easily used,
and will give good coffee always at one
fourth less cost than the old modes of
boiling.
There are in coffee both an aromatic
and bitter principle. In boiling, the
aromatic (which is very volatile,) es-
capeS if the boiler is open, and the Bit
ter remains. The excellence of coffee
depends on the amount of aromatic re-
tanned in boiling but all know that this
delicious fragrance of the berry is allow
ed to pervade the whole house for half
an hour or so before breakfast, during
the boiling process, and that, in too
many cases, theshavor Of the coffee is
so impaired, that little or TO enjoyment
is found in the drinking. Coffee thus
deprived of its aroma, is neither, so pleas
ant to the taste, nor so healthy as bev-
erage.
We would recommend to housekeep-
ers q trial of the cold Dominion Coffee
Pot" which some families have had in
use for over year and say they would
on no consideration be without it, as it
retains the whole of the strength, as
we'll as the aroma of the berry One
fourth less coffee is required; and this
is a consideration these times.-Lady's

Profane Swearing.

Rev. L. II. Chaplin, thus alludes to
i protane swearing in one of his discours.
es on the Lords prayer =
4 If we would use the prayer sincerely,
we must hallow Gods name on our lips
1t will never be light word there. II
will never drop out in jest, or ring in
blasphemy. would speak strongly
against the common sin of profaneness.
Are there any before me who are accus-
toned to use Gods name as an exple-
tive, and to handy it as byword F? whe
employ it in all kinds of conversation,
and throw it about in every place p
Perhaps, in their hearts, they consider
this habit as an accomplishment think
1T manly and brave to swear. Let me
say then, that profaneness is brutal
vice. He who INDUCES in it is no gem
tleman, | care not what clothes he may
we&4, or what culture he boasts. De-
spite all his refinement the light and
habitual taking of Gods name displays
a coarse nature and brutal will. Nay,
he tacitly admits chat it is ungentleman-
ly, He restraints ms oath in the pres
ence Of ladies and he who fears not to
rush into the ehancery of Heaven and
swear by the Majesty there, is decently
observant in the drawingroom and par
lor. But again, profaneness is unmanly
and silly. 1t gives no grace i'll CONVEX
sation, and it adds no strength to il.
There is no organic symmetry in the
narrative that is ingraned with oaths:
and the blasphemy that holsters an opin-
ion, does not make it any more correct,
Our mother English has variety enough
to make story sparkle, and to give
point to wit; it has toughness enough
and vehemence enough to furnish for a
debate and drive home conviction, with
out degrading the holy name of Jeho-
yah. Nay, the use of these expletives,
argues a limited range of ideas, and
consciousness of being on the wrong side.
And if we can find no other phrases
through which to yeut our choking pass
ion, we had better repress that passion.
And again, profaneness is q mean vice.
According to general estimation, he who
repays kindness with contumel y-he
who abuses his henefactor is deemed
pitiful and wretched And yet, o, pro-
fame man! whose name is it you handle
so lightly? Is it that of your best ben
efactor? You, whose blood would boil
to hear the venerable names of your
earthly parents hurled about in SCOTS
and iests, abuse without conjunction
and without thought, the name OF your
heavenly Father. Finally profaneness
is an awful vice. Once more | ask,
whose name is it you SO lightly use p
The name of God have youever pom
dered its meaning. Have you ever
thought what it Is you lningle thus with
your passions and your wit: 1t is the
name of him whom the angels worship,
and whom the heaven ofheayens cannot
contain.

CHE CARErH FOR THEE"-The hui
man heart is ever seeking some object
upon which to lavish its tender affec-
tons, and by which it may be loved and
cherished in return. IF this great want
is not met in the soul, there is an ach-
ing void the world may never feel--a
secret loneliness no lapse Of time may
destroy. When human sympathy is lost
to such a soul, ii turns not in vain to a
higher fountain of happiness and is sat
isfed, while amid the calm stiffness
which reigns supreme, steals a gentle
voice saying, "He careth for Thee"
