SHOULD EE ENCouRAGED.-In our ad-
vertising columns will be found the ad-
vertisement Of Mr.. s. G. Harris, who
announces that his new map of Seattle
is now ready for sale and delivery to the
public. This certainly is the most conf
plete work Of the kind that has ever
been produced, either here or elsewhere,
and is cheap at 81. A greater amount
Of labor has been bestowed on it than on
any similar work; the most prominent
feature being-one that. makes it inval-
liable as map of reference-that 1t
shows every lot in Seattle distinctly and
accurately numbered. Mr.. Pitt has been
employed by Mr.. Harris to canvass the
city for the sale and delivery Of these
maps, and he will commence his labors

INDIANS AS WrrNEssEs.-The present

INDIANS AS WrrNEssEs.-The present
term of Court has clearly demonstrated
the fact that Indians are very unreliable
and very poor witnesses. There's are GER
tain Indians ON tho Sound who like to
como to town once or twice year ut the
expense of the people, and appear before
the grand jury, where they tell very
straight story, charging sons ono
against whom they have a spite. or
whom some of their friends have
grudge against, of selling them liquor.
They are then summoned to appear at
the trial of tho cases, drawing their two
dollars per day rs witness fees. When
put upon the stand they have a happy
faculty of forgetting all but the imma-
tsrial portion of what they swore tn be-
fore the grand jury. or else, as Tyee
Peter did the other day. turn very sick
with a fever" 1t remains no longer q
doubt that Indians, in the matter Of
procuring whisky, will not often expose
the real guilty persons that are engaged
in this unlawful traffic, but will try to
saddle the blame on innocent persons.

A Wave of Luxury,
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
No one who visited Newport this sea-
son, after few years absence, could
fail to be struck with the astonishing
wave of luxury which has rolled over
that abode of American fashion. A few
years ago people told their wondering
country cousins how Mr.. This and Mr..
That had French cooks to whom they
paid $50 month. This season there
were probably thirty people who had
cooks at salaries at from $50 to 500 a
month, and whose monthly expenses for
living were not less than s., 900 or Sc 900.
Many of these families have altogether
twenty servants, of whom half are men,,
several being in livery; in fact, the town
is alive with smart grooms
in buckskin and top boots
And yet it is not long ago that lady
was almost mobbed in New York for
riding with a groom similarly equipped
behind her. And even ten years ago
very few owners of carriages ventured
on anything in the way OF livery beyond
trousers of what was deemeda "horsy"
hue and bit ofyelvet bona remark
ably stupid and inappropriate piece of
ornamentation, by the way-around
their servants hats, while there certainly
were not five people who drove with the
servants on the box. The modern
Newport, the upper town, only began TO
grow about forty years ago, and grew at
first very slowly. One, at least, of the
pioneers, is still resident on the spot he
SO judiciously selected. The early villas
were extremely plain, both without and
within; the. later are highly ornate
without, and epitomes of luxurious
appointment within presenting, in
most cases. an appearance
of sumptuous comfort which is most at
tractive. Villa life islikely, in this coun-
try, to vie in splendor with anything of
its kind which the world has ever seen.

Little Charles Blind Pool,
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM the chicago lTlDune.
Charles was little boy who loved
his mother dearly, and whenever she
told him anything he was very careful
to obey. One day in the Spring, when
the brides were singing and the buds on
the apple trees were almost ready to
burst into beautiful white blossoms,
Charles asked his mother for ten cents
to buy marbles, for the ground was get
ting dry and the other boys were be-
ginning to enjoy their favorite sport.
You can have the money, my son."
said the mother, "but you must promise
me not to play keeps, and every night
that you can come home and tell me
truthtully that you have not disobeyed
your Mamma | will give you a Large
Red Apple" And then she kissed him
Fondly and he went gaily away to
School.
But before Charles had gone very far
he met Thomas Tough, who was Bad
Boy. Charles told Thomas about the
Ten Cents that his mother had .iven
him to buy Marbles with, and also told
him that he could not play for Keeps"
unless he was willing to 90 without the
Red Apple. When Thomas heard this
he said: ''Give lie the Marbles you
are going to buy and | will play with
them for Keeps. and after School is out
we will Divide what have won, for 1
am Superior Player. Then you can
truthfully tell your Mother that you
have not been playing for Keeps, and
will receive the Red Apple" So Charles
gave his Marbles to Thomas and after
School was out asked him how many he
had won. Il did not VIM" replied
Thomas. 81 struck Hard Crowd and
lost. Then Charles was sad, for he was
apretty Tight Fisted little boy, and
began to Cry. But presently he said to
Thomas: '"You are naughty boy and 1
hate you Very Much" And then
Thomas hit Charles in the Nose and
threw him down in the dirt, making his
new panties look very bad indeed.
So when Charles reached home he
told his Papa all about his troubles.
When he had finished his Papa said to
him: "YouD don't know as much as
Thompson's Colt and am going to Take
Crack atyou myself" Then he gave
Charles good Licking and sent him to
ned without any Supper. And when
Charles had laid on his Stomach for a
while, because he felt more Comfortable
that way, be said to himself: "No
more Blind Pools for me-"
Do you not think he had Great Head,
children? l do.

Housekeeping.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Festivities as follows: One of
the best things about housekeeping is
that it requires the exercise of the high
est faculties of the human mind; we see
women every day who are statesmen in
the wise management of affairs. calm. jim
dependent, and self-possessed in emer-
eences. Some of the best traits of char
acter are constantly cultivated.
If anv class of women can be said to
aave virtues thrust upon them, 1t is the
nousekeepers of our day. If every wo-
man would set it before her as an aim
worthy of all that is strongest and best
in her, to conduct well ordered home.
great deal OF happiness andreal beauty
would be gained. How many faces, once
lovely, are transformed by the addition
Of those wicked little lines about the
eyes and mouth, which come from hav-
ing frettcd over necessary Work?-Work,
too, which, Improperly engaged IN, would
aot injure the doer.
There are times. probably, when the
happiest wife and mother thinks with
longing or Ihoreau's housekeeping at
Walden pond, and.admires his resolution
in throwing the fragments of limestone
with which he had ornamented his desk,
out of the window when he found they
had to be busted every day; but there
is absolutely no use in frettlng over pet
ty annoyances, and since the danger of
failing int) the habit is great, every SEN
sibIe yoman will endeavor to look on the
bright side of all her troubles.
Suppose the baked potatoes should be
eaten the moment they are done, and an
important member of the family, know
ing the dinner hour, is late; don't worry
over the matter: every such little worry
INDUCED in is like chisel deepening
the lines already formed by some real
trouble. Everybody, it is to be feared,
misfortune, and who remind their guests
