THE GREAT NECESSITY.

A gentlemen in Walla walia writes
that it is impossible for . person
to get within two hundred yards Of the
railroad depot in that city during the
day, on account of the grain laden farm
wagons. waiting to unload their freight.
Some seven thousand tons Of grain were
shipped over the Wslla Walls q Col
unbis River railroad during the month
of September, and owing to the made
auatc means of transportation 1t is
stated that perhaps thirty thousand
tons of wheat will have to lay over
winter or until the river opens again,
before. it can be shipped to market.
Every day we read accounts OF those
little hundred-ton steamers, plying on
the upper Columbia river. running up
on the rocks, going ashore. or some
thing of that sort. continually. making
the chances for getting this years crop
of grain to m .rket more and more
doubtful. If the people of Walls Wal
ls would but generally come to real
izipg sense of what they most greatly
need, and what they certainly must
have before they can consus mate the
prosperity, which is within I lere reach,
they would put their shoulders to the
wheel and say, 1--WE shall have an out
let for our produce and ire miu have
railroad connection with Puget Sound,
our only natural and practical outlet,
then there would be some hope. The
two sections united can build this rail-
road. This side has shown that it is
ready and willing to do its part, and
it has done more. 1t has proved its faith
by its works. and already constructed
some twenty one miles of road. stretch
ing that far toward our Eastern broth
ers. Now, let the people of that Sec
ton show by their acts or words. that
they are willing TO do their part and in
q much shorter time than anyone can
imagine, Puget Sound and Walla
Walls will be shaking hands and ex.
changing the commodities and products
peculiar to each, across the Cascade
mountains ria the Snoquslmia Pass.

Disayreeable Habits,

1t is easy to form disagreeable hab-
it, but not so easy to drop it again.
Persisted in, they become second ma
ture. Stop and think befare- Won allow
Yourself to form them. There are diSa-
greeable habits of body, like scowling,
winking, twisting the mouth, biting the
nails, continually picking at something,
twirling a key, or fumbling at 4 chain,
drumming with the fingers, screwing
and twisting chair, or whatever you
can lay your hands on. Don't do any
of these things. Cultivate q calm, quiet
manner. Better be 81 statute than a
jumping jack. There are much worse
habits than these, to be sure, but we
are speaking only of very little things
that are only annoying when persisted
in. There are habits of speech, also,
such as beginning every speech with
''you see," or 'you know" ''now-a," :"
Il don't care, ""tell you now" Indis-
tinct utteranoe, sharp nasal tones, a
slow drawl, avoid them all. Stop and
think what you wish to say, and then
let every word from your lips just as
smooth and perfect as a new silver COIN.
Have a care about your ways of sitting
and standing and walking. Before you
know it, you will find your habits have
hardened into coat of mail that you
cannot get rid Of without a terrible ef-
fort-haLits which render you obnox-
ious to all around you.

Electric Lights.

Spain was once the most highly civil
lied country in Europe. and i'll her cl-
ties public lights, paved streets, pub
nc water supply and S milar municipal

were adopted by what are now the
leading cities of Europe. For many
years, however, Spain has been almost
the last place to which one would look

the lights are contained within six
globes of opal gas, arranged in two
groups of three, each set upon lamp
posts twice as high as those used for
gas. A correspondent of the London
Times says that each globe looks like
full moon, and that every one of them
einits enough light to enable one to read
small print at distance OF from thirty
to forty yards from the source of light
Nothing is said about the cost, but the
correspondent says that the light was
exceedingly steady, soft and penetrat-

that the electric light costs only 81 an

less than that of gas Press.

EnyirOns OF Algiers.

The immediate environs of AlglerS,
says Rev. Z. w. L. Davies, are beauu-
ful beyond description. st. Eugene on
one side, and Mustapha Superior on the
other, flank the city with villa and gar
den scenery such as we read of i'll fairy
tales, but seldom see in reality. The
surrounding hills on either side slope
gradually to the blue waters edge: and
on every available plateau stands
Moorish house, white and simple III 1t
self, but adorned By the most exquisite
verdure. Red geraniums III full bloom
and beauty, pomegranates and myrtles,
orange and citrOn trees, bearing at
once the fruit and the flower, remind
one Of Aladdin's garden, in which jew
els depended from the bowers, and per-
fume fl led the air. The very rocks are
trellised with creepers in Nature Wild
est form; while the vine. the fig and the
olive tree attest the cultiyating care of
man. Deep rayines, the work OF earth
quakes of former ages, descend from
the mountain top to its base; these are
spangled by the star of Bethlehem, the
asphodel and classic acanthus, beau
tifulgenista, ana other Towering shrubs,
in which the blackcap and nightingale
| find Il happy retreat, and sing alternate
| ly from morning to night, and night to

is. the purling brook and busy mill
| wanting to complete the scene.

YieiSsitu.leS of Fortune.

How forcibly the truth comes homt
10 us in these times that the rich OF TO
day are the poor Of tomorrow. Some
OF the millionares of a few years ago
can be found doing duty as clerks in
our postoffices and custom houses; the
daughter OF deceased Boston banker,
who died a millionaire, is to-day work
ing with the needle to support herself
and child: a former Wall street broker.
a friend of the late jim Fisk, once rich,
is now beginning life anew as an actor;
the city horse cars are manned by men
who have, many OF them, seen better
days, and the recruits to the dry goods
counter are frequently from the same
class. But many Of the unfortunates OF
city and village life are returning, like
the prodigal, TO the "oid place" Al
though money is scarce, and taxes often
oppressiyely high among the farming
classes, there are few farmers, who have
attended strictly to their legitimate
business, who find themselves SO utterly
bereft Of the means of gettinga a COM
Portable living, as do many of the deni-
Zens of our large cities.

4 itentie Temper.

The New York Tribune tells this in
cident of clergyman graced with Il
gentle temper:
1t is related by elderly citizens of Ro-
chester that on certain occasion the
Rev, DR.. Baekus, of blessed memory,
had been laying out and decorating the
grounds about his house at a considera-
bic outlay of labor and expense. On
the very first night after the completion
of the work, when the grounds had been
tastefully graded, and terraced, and
sodded, and planted, herd Of vagrant
swine broke into the inclosure, and in
dustriously rooted the fair territory in
to Il wilderness of unsightly gullies and
hummocks. The next morning as the
good doctor stepped out upon his porch j.,
one sweeping glance sufficed to furnish
o full and appreciative conception Of
the desolation. Restraining any eX-
preston Of unregenerate wrath, he
stood for a space i'll silence, and then
remarked, with mOurnful philosoTny
'sWel, you never can lay dirt to suit a
hog!"

Why Our Ships Cannot Compete.

Senator Blaine has been telling the
shipbullders and others at Chester. says
The \. \. Shipping List, why our ships
cannot compete with foreign bottoms
III our own carrying trade. y large
portion OF our ships were driven from
The ocean during the civil war, and the
American 1lag has been kept at dis
advantage since by the subsidized for
elgn steam lines, especially British.
Ihe British Government taxes its own
people large sums to pay steamship
subsidies. BY SO doing, they secure
cheap and regular transportation and a
wide field for British products. With
draw the subsidies and many of those
lines of ships would be abandoned
simply because the business of itself
would not pay. BY SO doing the manu-
faetnrers and merchants of Great Bri
tain would lose theIr hold upon the
trade they have so long monopolized
The subsidy system OF Great Britain is
only another form of protection from
that openly and honestly advocated by
the protectionistS in this country BY
cheap, safe and regular access to all
parts Of the world through a system OF
subsidized OF protected ships, Great
Britain protects her widely extended
markets. Because the money paid to
protect British ships is drawn from the
public treasury instead of being levied
upon the goods, its policy is none the
less protective.
1t IS not because our citizens are not
permitted to purchase foreign-built
ships and sail them under the American
dag that our merchant marine contin-
ues in langushing condition. At one
time there might have been something
i'll this argument, but now the argu-
ment will not hold water. There are
other causes why our ships cannot sue
cesstuliy compete, the most potent OF
which is the relatively high cost of sail
ing them, compared with that of foreign
ships.
