A WRITER in the Evangelist has
called attention to q small but very
common error, which older people,
as we'll as children, make in repeat
ing the familiar little prayer, And
now I lay me down to sleep" Pro-
badly there are few persons who do
not use the definite article the"
before the word " Lord" in the Sc
cond and fourth lines. By so doing,
they simply make an affirmation,
and not an invocation. The writer,
with very good reason, holds that
the prayer should Oe given as fol-
lows:
And now ] lay me down to sleep,
pray Thee, Lord. my sonl to keep;
If should die before l wake.
! pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take.

The friends of progress will be
glad to learn that Russia is about to
abandon the use of the Julian Calen-
dar end adopt the Gregorian, now
used by all the enlightened nations
of the earth. Heretofore Russia,
and those nations which adhered to
the Greek Church have tenaciously
held to the calendar as left by
Julius Caesar. In 1882, Pope Greg
DRY summoned council of astrono-
mers to revise and correct the mo de
of reckoning time then in use. Our
present method was the result of
their labors AMI it was adopted by
all Catholic countries at that time.
In 100. all Protestant countries
except England adopted it and in
1852 the British government ordered
a change from the old to the new
style. The difference between the
two methods of dating events
amounts to about twelve days, at
present, and Russian scientists do
not wish longer to be left in the
background of the worlds pro-
gress, and hence the coming change.

The salmon run this season has
proved an entire failure, both on
Puget Sound and in British Column
bia. The product of Frazier river
this season will not exceed 1000
cases, against 100000 last year.
Tho Puget Sound cannery, located
at Mukilteo, has put up only 1000
cases SO far this season, against T.
600 cases put up at this time in 1878.
The packing establishment, located
at the same place, rs also several
like institutions situated at various
points on the Sound, have shut down
for the season without doing prac-
tically anything. The only point at
which salmon are now being taken
on; on the Sound is in the vicinity
of Seattle, and even there they are re-
ported very scarce.

KING COUNTY FAR.-We learn from
Mr.. Utter, who was present that the
King County Fair, held in Seattle the
past week, was very creditable exlli-
bition, and, judging by the crowds
in attendance every evening, was a
great financial success. The show
was, of course, small, but some good
cattle and horses were exhibited.
some of which are on their way to
our Territorial Fair There was IA
petty show of fruits and flowers,
and the department of fancy work
excelled anything seen OF late years
at the Territorial exhibit. A great
curiosity WAS displayed by u Mrs.
Tiernan, the work Of her mother
Mrs Ward-picture of Giants
CauseTay" in iceland, having the
appearance o. steel engraving, but
actually wrought with a needle upon
q fine p.ece of hish linen The
same lady also exhibited dress and
pair Of shoes said to be 3Ji years OLD.
These articles have been offered TO
our directors .ur exhibition at the

expense of bringing them here, vi ich
they will surely d., as every one is

is within days ride of Seattle, and

IN which the law is enforced.
Now as to the manner in which
the law is not enforced. The city of
Portland has population of IS, 900,
and one local agent sufices to accom-
modate all tie demands made in
legal way, but it is not to be sup
posed that all of those 35, 900 people
abstain from the use of intoxicating
liquors. Our authority says that 5
per cent. drink as much as they
would if there were saloon on eve-
~ corner, but this is very small
,,roportion as compared with excess
under any other system of controlling
the evil. A sort of a social club
prevails, by means of which the law

the individual "club dues" to

their pleasant Sociables, Tuesday
evening, in compliment to Prof. W.
H. Roberts, member of this En-
campment now q resident Of Port

present and the programme was
varied and interesting. The enter

choir, accompanied by Miss May
Silsby, "Scatter Kinds Words"
which was followed by an "Address
of Welcome" by J. NJ. Murphy, elici-
ing a reply from Prof. Roberts;

piled to this Order" by Mr.. Josiah

Moving On!" addresses by visitors
concluding with a solo and chorus
"Leaf by Leaf" and an organ volun-
tary Prof. Roberts. Then came the
comforts for the inner man, the prin-
cipal constituents of which were
doughnuts and coffee, fruits, candies
and like creature comforts. This
was followed by entertaining games
music and social converse, and SO

Basis of Modern Education.

The true foundation Ct education
should be its practical application
to the requirements of life. Theo.
ries may serve good purpose in
some instances but it is to the
application of practical knowledge
that We owe the worlds progress 5.
If the assumption is true that the
physical condition of man controls
and gives vital force to his mental
powers, then we have no difficulty
in tracing the direct means by
which thorough knowledge of do
mestic duties may be made useful in
controlling the destiny of the nation.
The Iowa Agricultural College, We
believe, has begun at the very founda-
ton OF social and polf.ical order, by
teaching every girl in the junior class
how to make good bread. Each is
likewise taught to make yeast and
bake biscuits, buildings, pies and
cakes of various kinds; how to cock
a roast, broil steak and make n
fragrant cup of coffee; how to stuff
and roast T. turkey, make oyster
soup, prepare stocks for other soups,
steam and mash p, a'oes SO that
they will mel in 80 mouth; and,
in short, to get up first class meal,
combining both substantial and fan
cy dishes, in good style. The con-
nection between good dinners and
good government is philosophical
conclusion, when it can be traced in
this manner through the stomach.
To assure good order, the beef-steak
must not be too rare nor the roast
overlooked; the bread must be prop
erly leavened, and the desert pro-
vided on practically scientific princi-
pies.

How many coldly pass them by,
Or: nlayhap, idly sneer
But deep emotions throng my heart
When ISrael's sons appear.
Far down the distant vale of Time
My busy fancy flies,
When Salem's warlike sons went forth
To deeds of high emprise!
The land of Beauty and of Song
Unrivaled Palestine
Where Sharon's Rose burst into bloom,
And honey blend with wine
What does not Man owe yet to her,
When. like All amulet,
She hung upon the Pagan world
A diamond cased in jet?
The very laws that guide our feet
Through every blooming zone,
Were in her sacred courts preserved
On blocks of solid stone!
Nor is the lion Judah dead
His march is stately yet;
Aud many star OF beauty beams
In Israel's cOrOnet!
Her dark.eyes daughters still are fair,
Her sons are stalwart still
Their arms stretch forth for every prize,
Nerved with aniron will;
Their names are written proud and high
In Musicand in Art;
And Frame no high arena boasts
Where they have not part.
Through forums and through senate
halls
Their silvery accents roll,
And with Isaiah's burning fire
Enchant the human soul
And Judah seems to bear aloft
Aladdin's wondrouS lamp,
While earth, responsive, yields her gems
Where Judah's exiles tramp.
Although they roam without a land

THE REMOVAL QUESTION.

EDITOR RECORD: 1t seems, as was
said by one of the speakers in the
late canvass upon the proposition
to move the county seat, that the
friends to removal are determined
to keep it (the county seat upon
wheels till they locate it at more
central point than Evening Shade;
and understand there are now as
many as three places spoken OF, and
petitions being circulated for each
one, to-wit Center, Poughkeepsie
and the Wade place, now owned by
DR.. King. propose to notice some
of the advantages and disadvanta-
ges of the three places, As | be-
lieve is admitted by all, SO far as
territory is concerned, that Center
is the most central point, but as for
population, Kings place has the ad
vantage, being situated on section
33, which is preciselyi the center of
the county east and west, and about
4 miles south of the center north and
south; beautiful high location, on
the south bank of Strawberry river,
upon which there is one of the best
sites for machinery on the river,
fine spring water, &c, It is about
l mile north of the road leading
from Evening Shade to Smithville,
but the road can be changed, to leave
the present road at G. W. Blann's,
running by Mr.. Turney's place,
thence by the King farm, intersect-
ing the old road near Mr.. Birds,
placing it upon better ground, and
equally as near, if not nearer, than
the old road. All taken together,
there being such strong opposition
to locating the county seat north Of
Strawberry river, | think the King
farm very desirable place. And
if Strawberry is ever bridged, which,
by all means, should be, it is the
most suitable place for bridge-be-
ing in the center Of the county, east
and west, good high banks on both
sides, and country, both north and
south, through which good roads
may be opened. As for Poughkeep-
sic, it is in section 80, not only south
Of the center, but east, and the stu
alton most miserable. / cannet
better describe it than to take 90.
