HE TEMPERANCE CAUsE.-Wednes-
day evening DR.. Watts delivered the
first OF his admirable lectures on
Temperance in Tacoma Hall, before
a large audience. That it was a
very able and entertaining review of
the subject, is indicated by the pa
thence of the listeners during the
whole discourse, which occupied
nearly two hours in delivery. It
differed materially from previous ef-
forts, dealing mainly with the de-
plorable effects of alcohol upon the
human system. The progress of de-
cay of the vital organs was shown by
charts, drawn from nature, and en-
bracing the results of patient
research of eminent medical men for
many years. This, we consider, the
most effective means of arresting the
attention of those who may be bene-
fitted by temperance reform. The
doctor is not an eloquent speaker,
but he is bold and earnest, and no.
body who listens to him will fail 10
discover that lie is master of his SUBJ
ject and controlled by heartfelt de-
sire to benefit his fellow man. These
are the true qualifications for sue
cess. Itenables the speaker to place
himself in rapport with the class to
be benefited, those whose hearts
will only open to words which de-
note sincerity of purpose and SYM
pathy for the ills to which mortal
flesh is heir.
The second lecture of DR.. Watts,
Thursday evening, on Alcohol on
the Brain" was q very able effort.
It occupied about two hours in de-.
livery, and traced, in an exceedingly
plain and comprehensive manner,
the effect of intoxicants upon the va
rious organs of the brain. At the
close, tho Blue Ribbon pledge was
circulated and 1872 names we're en-
rolled under the banner OF Total
Abstinence. To-night's lecture will
be the last, unless the Doctor con-
sents to remain longer.

Starting in Life.

A quaint writer quantity remarks
that, 1.-The first great lesson which a
young man should learn is, to learn
that he is fool, and the earlier and
more thoroughly this great lesson is
learned the better it will be for him
and all the world besides" 1t may
be, perhaps, a legitimate conse-
quence that a youth growing up in
the midst of affiuence and idleness,
should feel himself vastly superior to
those less fortunate than himself. In
such instances, however, the blame
is more to be attributed to his par
ents and his false surroundings than
to himself. Had he received the
right kind Of home education along
with his other advantages, his good
judgment would have enabled him
to draw correct differences and con-
illusions in regard to everything
around. If these grand lessons are
not taught him by his parents, he
must learn them himself by the hard
knocks and rough experiences of the
world. His own preconceived, pet
ideas are ridiculed, his actions crit
icised without mercy, until at last,
he discovers his own shocking in
When a young man
has thoroughly comprehended his
own littleness, nay, bis utter moth
ingness. his next great lesson is. to
learn that the world cares nothing
for him. An aspiring youth once
asked an old man at about what age
the generality Of public men are
recognized by the world. "When
you are noticeable, you will be no.
ticed," was the answer; and this is
the great secret laconically expressed.
Oaks must grow from acorns. The
laws that govern the mental organ
ism are as immutable as those that
rule the physical world. Let young
men ponder these things. When
the lessons we have spoken of are
once faithfully learned and treasured
up in honest and candid minds. the
picture begins to grow brighter.
When the young man has once found
out that he is fool, he will just be-
gin to grow in wisdom; and as soon
as he is convinced of the fact that be
could crawl into O hole aud not be
missed by the world in q thousand
years, he is just ready to know that
the world can make profitable use
of him. The hints we have thrown
ont may be broad ones and oul
structures somewhat searching, but
we are aiming to do the best possible
thing for our young friends that lies
in our power. Whatever we have
said in this article applies with equa.
force to young ladies.

A BOLD RoBBERY.-Rev. D. W.
Macfe has kindly given us the fol-
lowing particulars concerning one Of
the boldest and most successful rob-
berries ever committed in this Ter
ritory. The reverend gentleman
states that he was on the train yes
terday from Kalama to Tenino, and
as the cars drew up to the station at
Napavine, the agent at that place
and promiscuous crowd were in
terviewing q wounded man who al-
legged that he had been assaulted
and shot on the railroad track but q
short time previously. The wounded
man was put on board of the train
and taken to Chehalis station to have
his wounds dressed. The man
stated to Mr.. Macfe that he came
from Ohio Q short time ago, bringing
with him q large amount of money
to purchase land in this Territory.
He landed, = few days ago, at Taco
ma and proceeded to Nswsukum,
Lewis county, where he had selected
his lands and closed the business
part Of the purchase. From the
parties of whom he purchased the
land be had rscsivsd plats Of ire

hibitsd these TO several parties in
the vicinity. He left Nswakum

A New Departure.

Some weeks ago, we recommended
the use OF the mullen plant as care
for consumption. This remedy, it.
seems. is about to be superseded and
eclipsed by aspecific which, for want
of a better name, we will call the
i" volatile effusion" method. The
circumstances which are said to have
suggested this cure, like the incep-
ton Of all great discoveries, are
quite simple in themselves. 1t has
long been observed that butchers,
especially those who sell fresh meats
in the stalls, while they may have
been thin and pale before embarking
in the business, invariably acquire
and maintain . rudy complexion.
A correspondent of Les Mondes seems
to have been the first to call atten-
ton to this fact, A we'll known

II may not be generally known,
save among teachers and profession
n gcographers, that the United
States have a greater quantity Of AZ
able land than the whole Of Europe;
and the land susceptible of agricul-
tural utility on the American con-
tinent Is far more in extent than that
Of Europe, Asia and Africa put to-
gether. While the area Of North and
South America is 1896 6l square
miles, Europe, Asia and Africa joint
II contain 10, 9ss, sos square miles;
but when We take into consideration
The question of utilization, the mat
Ger stands somewhat reversed; as,
for example, the amount Of produc-
tive soil in the old world is 1O,0OO,-
600 square miles, while in the new
world there are, at least, IL ,O0O, 600
square miles of land now ready to he
devoted to all the various uses OF az
\ficulture. These conclusions are the
|result of surveys and estimates care
fully made in civilized and enlight-
ened countries. Scientific deduc-
tons. also, clearly explain the seem.
ingly incongruity of the above state
ments. The grand divisions of the
American continent are narrow when
compared with those of the eastern
continent; thus, bringing the remote
points of the interior much nearer
those oceanic influences so favorable
1ofrequent rain-falls during the Sum-
me, months, and which serve, in re-
markable degree to soften, the rigors
of Winter. The highest land in the
world is in or near the central part
of Asia. OF course, those mountain
ranges and the accompanying table
lands, wholly untitled to agricultural
purposes, may be estimated by mil
lions of square miles. The great
bulk of both Europe and Asia, as COM
pretended by Siberia and northern
Russia lies far within the temperate
zone and quite too far removed from
the northern tropic to reap the full
benefit Of the friendly trade-winds,
which play SO important part in
the meteorological phenomena of the
physical world. Besides, as is well
known, large portions of southwest
ern Asia and northern and central
Africa are covered with burning
sandy deserts. leaving, only here
and there, small districts capable of
producing limited quantities Of grain !
and fruit. On the American contin.
emit. quite q reverse state of affairs
exist. While We have large ex-
panses of. at present, waste lands, |
deserts are entirely the exception.
These facts speak in glowing terms
Of the future of our own continent,
and, particularly, Of our favored
Unien. The huadfeds and thou
sands Of tons Of grain now shipped
from the United States to Europe,
will doubtless be trebled if not quad
xupled within the next ten years.
Finally, since the womb Of the earth
10 the fountain whence comes every.
thing that ministers to the comfort
and luxury Of her children, We may
we'll conclude that a glorious future
awaits our fast developing country.

How SAeet Nude b usde.
It mas been estimsted that ten
thousand tons Of sheet music are is.
sued in the initial States every year.
Let the girl who sits at her piano or
thrums her guitar, think Of Aest Of
ships being loaded with the tender
love songs. the gentle "dear man.
ma" apostrophes. the marches.
waltzs. schottiscbes and polkas that
are flowing in q stream from the
thousands Of music publishing
houses throughout the land! While
these sympathetic waits are scattered
like the leaves in Autumn in every
city, town and hamlet, and are found
in every household, from the pal
ace Of the millionaire to the hum
blest cottage, We seriously doubt
whether five persons in one hundred
who sing them every day, know how
. piece of sheet music is made.
There are five essential steps or,
rather processes. through which
piece Of music passes before it is
ready to be laid upon the shelves
of the retail dealer. In the first
place, a mental picture Of the music
must be formed in the mind of the
composer. That is to say, he must,
to all intents and purposes, hear
what he is about to give to the
world, in order to know whether or
not it is unsteady admissible. This
is the first process. Having been
conceived, it must be accurately
committed to paper, SO far as to ap-
peal to the eye as it at first appealed
to the intellect. This is the second
process. Having been written, it is
Proved" by being arranged in re-
gard to the requisite number of
pages, its general style, and the
form of its title page. This is TIE
third process. Next, it is put into
the hands of the engraver who COM
mits it in elegant form to soft metal
as he who first conceived its ideas
committed then to paper. This is
the fourth process.
There are as many "plates" as
pages of music, and their size can be
estimated by anybody who will take
the trouble to look at the imprint
made by the edges of the plates in
the soft paper. As rule, the plates
are an inch or two less in length and
width than the sheet upon which the
music is to be published. Having
been duly engraved, the plates are
first smeared with ink and then clean
ly wiped off, leaving the marks Of the
engraving tool filed nearly if not
quite up to the polished surface of
metal. TIE last process now takes
place in the press-room. The sheets
Of paper, being brought with great
power against the plates, is made to
take up the ink lodged in the en-
graved lines, and thus, in a twink
ling. the blank paper of q moment
ago, has been transformed into O
glowing page Of sheet music, ready
to be sung or played.
