Feeling Hurried.

Probably nothing tires one SO much
as feeling hurried. When in the early
morning the days affairs press on ones
attention beforehand, and there comes
the wonder how in the world everything
Is to be accomplished, when every in
terrupGcn is received impatiently, and
moments fit past, then the mind tires
the body. We are wrong to drive our
selves with whip and spur in this way.
Each of us is promised strength for the
day, and we must not wear ourselves out
by crowding two days tasks into one.
II only we can keep cool and calm, not
allowing ourselves to be fustered, we
shall be less wearied when we have
reached the even.tide. The children
may be fractions, the servants trying,
the friend we love may full to visit us,
the letter we expect may not arrive, but
II we can preserve our tranquility OF
soul, and OF demeanor, we shall get
through everything cretlitably.
Especially Ii this good advice for
warm weather. Who feels the heat most?
Who is most exhausted and Frustrated
by its severity Why, the person who
d,es from fans to ice-water, bemoaning
herself, who changes her dress q half
dozen time . day, who laments that it
10 so warm, and watches the thermome-
ter with despairing certainty THAT it new
or was 30 hot before who, in short, in
tensifies her own discomfort and adds TO
that OF others by constant thinking Of

the advantage Of men in warm weather.

SCARCITY OF BARRELs-Ssme difticul-

in obtaining barrels. Henry Levy, of Sc.
attic. appears to have obtained corner
in those articles, and has contracted in
advance for all the barrels turned out BY
the factory in Seattle. and refuses TO sell
them Ia De fishermen unless they furnish
him with the fish. Eugene Field, OF Sem
iahmoo. is engaged In manufacturing
barrels on a small scale. and has more
orders than he can conveniently gil. Front

FARES REDUCED O. r. & N. Co.

q tendency to make things lively on lie

to reduce still lower ON their boats, and
that is generally the style in Which 1t is

Victoria or New Westminster: Should
the outlook ut present warrant, it is the

stack, rs well as in her general makeup,
somewhat resembles the revenue cutter

ARTHUR AL RIGHT.

President Arthur Is undergoing a severe test,
involving his ability to pursue undeyiatingly the
'pOliCy he started out with concerning appoint
mcnis 70 office. lie has reached the point when
complaints begin to be heard Of sOwncss if not
indccision, IN cases concerning which the com.
ploincrs can perceive no occasion for delay. To
certain extent n multitude OF interested persons
desire to be President themselves, with Arthur for
u fgurehcad merely. They have. no idea that
they are not capable Of doing everything al once.
The responsibility is n mere trhc that would not
disconcert them In the least. As to making mis-.
takes, they conceive II could hardly be possible
for them to make any. To drive ahead regardless
Of consequences, according to their conceptions,
is natural and proper that they cannot under;
least until they get all that they are after.
TuT COMPLAINT THAT ARTHUR
goes slow is well founded. But IL s equally true
that he goes sure. Probably no President in an
equal length of time ever made fewer bunders
Than he has done. No other President ever had
anything like such difficulties to encounter orsuch
a load OF responsibility. WhoOf all the complain
ets could have stood under II and so soon won his
way to public approval The dispensing Of the
offices has been only small part OF the task.
Arthur might have done this In weeks time,
probably. There was. however, the larger task
incident to the manner Of his becoming President
u ny being slow he has provoked complaints from
applicants for office, good and true men ms they
may be, who can say that he could have done his
work belter2 His acts should be judged as u

IN Arthurs slowncss ny 70 appointments, II Is on
the safe side. Acting on large knowledge OF men
and ailairs, and with perfect fidelity 10 his own
convictions, General Arthur simply takes time to

ability to change his policy, to stop when In doubt,
and TO go ahead only when he is sure he Is right,
