The Care of the Matches.

I'm nothing about the household does the
Injunction to have "a place for everything"
require more strict enforcement than in the
care of matches. What are known rs par
Tor matches" light the most readily, ana
are rs much more dangerous than the COM
mon matches as they are more convenient.
The general stock should be kept in tin
box, which is not to be opened or taken
from except by the master OF mistress of
the house. For each room where matches
are used there should be q metal match
safe of some kind and the matches are to
be kept in that and nowhere else. 1t should
be regarded as serious oflense for match
to be anywhere or for ever so short time
found "lying around loose"
In the kitchen and the bedroom, or
wherever else matches are i'll frequent use,
1t is better to have the match safe fxed
and always III the same place, 80 that it
can be found, if need be in the dark In
taking matches from the larger box TO re-
plenish the safes, let that always be done
by one person, and it will pay for that per-
son to look over the matches at the time,
throwing away all broken ones, and where,
aS Is often the ease two or more are stuck
together by the explosive mixture, these
should be carefully b-Oken apart, and I'M
less two good matches are the result, rather
than to put into the safe one with too little
and the other with ragged excess of the
mixture, throw both away. Also throw
into the fire those matches that have two
or three times as much of the mixture o.
the ends as they should have.
These, lighting, often explode and scatter
burning particles in a dangerous manner
II, in lighting match, day or night, it
breaks or the explosive end comes off with
out lighting, do nothing else until that end
Is found, and put into the fire, or where it
can do no harm. In fact treat matches
every match, as it were, as it really is,
fire-arm, capable of dangerous mischief to
person and property. Teach the children
to carefully observe the same caution.

One Thousand Lives Lost.

From Asia Minor comes n narrowing ne
count OF an earthquake, being PARTICULARLY de-
structiye on that portion of the coast which
lies directly east OF the island of Chios. All
villages bstween Cheshire aud Vouria are com.
pletety wrecked. At least 1000 persons lost
their lives by being buried under the falling
walls OF dwellings An immense amount of
property was destroyed. Cheshire was badly
damaged, but no lives were lost there. At
Smyrna the shock was quite severe and pan
&c prevailed during the continuance of the vi
orations but the damage was slight. On the
island of Chios the shock was severe but a.
duration was short and little harm was done.
Exactly how far the disturbance extended into
the interior OF Asia Minor, is at present UNI
known; but reports from points lying east of
Cheshire and southeast from Smyrna indicate
That an extensive area of country was affected.

1t is known that many tramps who
lead delightfully."- lazy existence dur
ing the summer months are in the habit
of celebrating the first hard frost by
some slight crime which will secure
them snug quarters during the winter.
An analogous practice has lately been
discovered by the police of st. Peters
burgh, where the frequent commission
of petty thefts by young men who APP
parently were not tempted by want has
caused bewildermcnt. The police have
now ascertained that these thieves are
natives of the Grand Duchy of Finland,
and that their motive is to escape from
military service under the law of Fin
land, which does not allow any one
who has been convicted of theft to
serve in the army. reason for
going to st. Petersburg that
the punishment for theft is much more
severe in Finland than in other parts Of
the Empire.

tribunal of the students to which ali
questions of discipline are to be referred.
The students jury, which is composed
of one representative from each class,
one from each intercollegiate society,
and one from students belonging to no
society, is to render in every case
brought before it a verdict OF fact
which must be unanimous, and averdict
of opinion, which must be that OF ma
jority, assigning the offence committed
to one of four grades. The president OF
the college is to impose the penalty
but he cannot impose penalty heavier

mined in each case by the jury. Th'

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

President ViIlarI's Return from His
Northwestern Trip-Prospects OF the
RaiIyay-Immigration TO the West and
Other Facts.
New YORK, May 17.-President Henry
Willard, of the Northern Pacific railway, who
has returned from a tour of inspection along
the line of the railway to-day, submitted his
report at a meeting of the board of directors.
In it he says that California has been blessed
with sufficient rain to insure her farmers
larger crops this year than perhaps ever be-
fore, In Oregon and Washington Territory
about 10000 immigrants have settled, coming
principally from the EASTERN middle, and city
coast states. All the cities and towns in
Oregon and Washington are greatly improved,
business is flouIishing and there is plenty OF
ready money. The crop prospects in western
Oregon and eastern Washington Territory are
unusually encouraging. 1t is estimated that
upwards of $4,000 tons of grain will be
garnered in eastern Washington, and 700
tons in western Oregon. This is large in
crease over any previous year. The Oregon
and California line will be completed in thir
teen months, giving railway connection
with the great lakes and st. Paul to San
Francisco via the Northern Pacific and Ore
gon and California systems. The completion
of the latter road will affect somewhat the
Ocean Steamship and Oregon Railway Navi-
cation company. The business has increased
so much that the facilities of this latter line
have been outgrown, The towns of Seat
tie and New Tacorna on Puget Sound
have engaged an extra growth recently,
and threaten TO rival the supremacy
of San Francisco by reason of grain
products and iron resources The report fur
ther states that Mr.. Willard was pleased with
the resources of Montana, AT Helena and
Butte City thousands of tons of ore are on
the dump waiting for shipment via the
Northern Pacific to Baltimore and elsewhere
Butte City has nine smelling works, all of
which are ut work on high grade ores. The
condition of construction is so far advanced
as to insure the completion of the road by the
end of August. The merchants on the Pa
eifc arc Withholding the shipment of fall
supplies until the completion of the Northern
Pacific road. The tracks are in first rate
condition, and trains can be run as fast as 45
miles per hour. At st. Paul and Minneapolis
real estate has advanced in some cases as
high as 800 per cent. owing to the large pur-
chases of land by the Oregon and Trans
continental company for terminal purposes
for the Northern Pacific trains. In conclu
sion, Mr.. Willard stated that there is every
prospect that the road is about entering into
an era Of uninterrupted prosperity.

matter of division of the diocese.
1t was his opinion that the proper person to

bishop, or it must be donewith his consent.
There was much said upon the subject, in
which it appeared that the delegates differed
