Superintendent w. B. Thompson of
the railway mail service, has on foot a
proposition to change the names of all
postofices in the United States which
are now compound. All offices of the
same name in States where the abbrevi-
ated designation is likely to be mistaken,
such as Pa, Va, Ga, La and Ia; Md.
and Ind; Cal. and Col. Mass. and Miss,
ETC., are to be changed it being thought
that this will facilitate in a great degree
the safe and swift carrying of mail mat
ter, as the chance of sending letter to the
wrong State will be completely obviated.
AL postotfices of compound names, such
as "spring Hill academy" "Robeson's
Crossroads" or "Johnson's Four Corn
ers," will, in carrying out his idea, have
their titles changed to names of one syl-
able. This sweeping reform will necess-
itate the remaining of 10000 to $4,000
postofiices in the United States. The
General is in fill accordance
with the idea and it will, without doubt,
be at once put in operation.

A Good Effect OF Prohibition.

It is frequently asserted by the OppO.
nents of the prohibitory amendment tina,
the effects would be 20 discourage public
drinking and to drive men to the con.
sumption in secret and at their homes.
The State Journal at Topeka quotes the
Maine House Committee on Temperance
as saying that the habit of drinking to
drunkenness is carried on in families, in
club rooms and private places.
1t is quite possible that under pro-
hibitory system the use Of liquor in fami-
lies and private social circles might in
crease. But very slight observation
only is necessary to convince any one
that nine tenths of all the abuses of in
toxicating liquors arise from this public
drinking system. Abolish this and you
have done away with veryi large part
of the evils that now cluster around the
use of alcoholic stimulants. The amount
Of liquor that most of men will drink in
their families, at their own tables and
around their own tiresides is not very
large. Many man who now frequents
the saloons would not drink drop if he
had to do it secretly or in the presence of
his family. Even the abolition of treat
ing-that peculiar American custom
would do away with an immense amount
of evil. 1t is probable that those who
have already acquired that most fearful
of acquisitions-the appetite for alcohol
would continue in many instances to
use it secretly, but in many other instan
ces this class of unfortunates would be
greatly aided to reform if there were no
open temptation and solicitation to drink,
such as our public drinking system con-
stantly offers. 1.-THE prohibitorv amend
ment will do away with the public drink
ing and send men to their homes and
the bosom of their families to do their
drinking, let US by all means have it,
We presume some will drink to excess
even then, but not one where a hun
'dred do now.-Temperance Palladium.

A WALK ON THE BEACH.
For the ARGUs.l

Near the head Of Sequim Bay on
the beach may be found stones OF
curious formation. They are round,
oblong or egg shaped, or a. least
generally Of some uniform shape,
and of various sizes, from All inch to
eight or ten inches in diameter, and
they are Of sandstone. The bluffs
at the place are composed of large
sandstone boulders, which have fall
len down; the frost and weather
have opened them and these stones
roll out. Sometimes large one
about eight inches in diameter will
first roll out, which IN turn will crack
open and smaller one will be found
within. Inside of the smaller ones,
when broken open, nothing is found
to show any cause Tor the uniformity
of the formation. In one only
found the remains Of plant, but in
such a position as to show that it had
no cause in producing the formation.
incline to the opinion that they are
of chemical formation, the particles
being attracted together chemically,
as if by some magnetic attraction,
as is the case with claystones, but
those better versed in science than
the writer must explain the cause.
Claystones are found in many
places in the region, and are sup.
posed by many to be washed into
the shape in which they are found
by the waves but in this they are
mistaken. l have some from the
hea6 of Hoods Canal which are very
regular in shape, often circular,
with several perfect circles marked
on them. Some are found six or
seven inches in diameter, and two or
three in thickness, bot generally
they are smaller, sometimes two or
more Of these are joined together
in various shapes. Another. from
Freshwater Bay is about four inches
in diameter every way aud almost as
perfect as cannon ball. Others
from Clalam Bay are small as mar
bles, and very much like them.
Others from Dungeuess are cylin.
drical and also Of nearly every i'm
aginable shape. Claystones are
known by their smoothness, color
and taste, the same as clay. They
are formed by chemical attraction in
clay banks or strata. The particles
of clay are attracted together for
some reason to one point, and hard
ened; when one point alone draws
the PARTICLES the stone becomes very
regular, but when two or more spots,
so near together as to interfere with
each other attract the partic es at
the same time, the stones are found
in various shapes On the Sound,
when the clay bluffs where these are
imbsdded cave OF, and the dust is
washed away By the waves, from the
Stones, they are found on the beach
and THE is all the washing that 10
