Inviting Company.

In inviting your friends to visit
your house, why not be honest, and
specify the length of the visit you de-
sire them to makel Everybody knows
when he has asked friend to his house
how long he wants him to stay.
There may be fifty reasons combining to
make him very glad Of visit three
days in length, and very much incon-
venlenced by a longer stay. Honest
people ought to find no difficulty in say
ing this, and honest people take no Of
Tense at hearing it. This does away,
also, with all possibility Of misconstruc-
ton on either side, with all uncertain
ties as to welcome, with all fears of in
trusion. To render q guest thoroughly
comfortable and at home, there should
be on the part Of the host and hostess
no strained efforts to entertain or amuse
the guest; on the part of the guest, no
expectation of being amused or enter
tanned. Simply to meet for the inter-
change of goodwill and cordially, the
usual current of life going on undis-
turbed, the habits of the family remain
ing unchanged-that is the true socia
visit, and embodies genuine hospitality.

California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado,
and delegates from the Territories, on the
other, for the purpose of comparing views
and devising, if practicable, some form of
legislation that would prevent further dep

and expected that satisfactory legislation
on the timber question will be had at the
