printed ON bank note paper and pre-
pared for use in several different shapes
TO be carried in the pocket or hung on

lots, streets and houses represented.
These maps will be got up in fine style,
and in whatever way prepared will be
sold at prices ast0nishingly low, 10 and
30 cents apiece, according to finish.
The plan Of this work is the most COM
prehsnsive Of any yet devised for any
part OF this region, and II carried ont
according to plan will be simply inval-
liable. The circulars distributed de-
scribe the work SO thoroughly as to
make unnecessary further description
In these columns. Similar maps are
being got up for Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, Portland and other
leading cities of the Pacific slope. Mrs.
Clara ID. Packard has ,harge of the

PArsr's OocUPATros.-From time 10
time inquiries reach this Office from va
rious parts Of the Sound as to the where
abouts of Patsy Carroll, the little,
ragged, bare footed fellow who used to
keep himself before the public by his
frequent appearances in the police
court and various acts OF mischief.

time. Meeting the careless looking lit
tie chap on the street yesterday, a re-
porter said to him, swell, Patsy, what

been catching tomcod on the wharf
lately, and selling them TO Mr.. Richards.

"Oh, I'm going to work for that fellow
who runs the bowling alley. don't
know how much he will pay me, but !
know it will beat fishing, cause there's
no expenses attached to that job. Iquit
stealing good while ago, il always
kept me in trouble, and found out il

New MAIL RourE.-With the soming
in Of the present month service began
on a new and important mail route
leading out Of this city. The route is
from Seattle TO Squak, and the mail is
carried over It twice q week. The CON-
tractor is Warren, the Wisconsin hog,
who seized upon all the little postal
routes be could in the North Pacific
country, who has sub.let il to Messrs.
Hunter, Fairbairn and Poole. The
mail leaves here Monday afternoon by
stage for Laurel Shade on Lake Wash
ington. There II 10 roet by the steamer
Evril and taken across the lake TO Hnb-
bard and Juanita, where IL remains
over night. Tuesday morning il il con-
tinued on to Redmond and SQuak, re-
turning Wednesday to Seattle. Thurs
day afternoon Il goes out again, and
Saturday evening it gets back. The Ev-
ril draws too much water for the slough
connecting Lakes Washington and
Squak, and IL is not improbable that a
light draft steruwheelef will be built to
take her place. This route il one that
should be extended from Squak to Falls
City. Snoqualmie, and across the Cas-
cade mountains to EllensburR.

HURRAH FOB THE WATER WORKS.
McCombs d Co. have completed their
new tank on tho east end OF Union
street, which will hold 256,OO gallons
Of water. This tank is nicely situated
on the side of hill where numerous
springs ara centered. Sufficient land
has been reserved to secure the COM
pany against failure in the supply.
From this tank there il six inch
main for about 900 feet. then Q four
inch main to Front street, with a three
inch branch down Second street to
Madison. Connecting with these mains
there W. II he perfect network of
pipes supplying those residences fortu-
nate enoneh to come within this CON-
pany's bounds. The force Of the water
ON Union street is surprising in its
greatness. Mr.. McCombs, the manager
Of the above company, has also co.,
nected the Union Water Works, which
has Just completed laying about 5000
feet of pipe, extending from Mercer's
addition 10 Pike street, With many con-
venient spreading branches, making it
one Of the greatest blessings the peo-
pie in North Seattle possess. Little
has BEEN said about these companies.
but We viii add that the people should
appreciate them, and We wish them
every kind Of success.

Cerebral GluttOny.
London Graphic.

London Graphic.
Lord Strathnairn once said that he could
tell by young mans manner of ordering
his breakfast in coffee house whether he
was likely to make good officer; and
Lord Palmerston declared that the best
way of getting supply of efficient at
taches for the foreign Office would be to
leave the selection to ladies. Without in
dulging such fancies one may ask what
competitive examinations should be direct
ed to ascertain whether candidate has a
general fitness for the position which he
seeks, and not to the finding out how
much ill digested knowledge he can cram
into his head. The brain is an organ
more delicate than the stomach, and yet
the same men who teach temperance and
abstemiousness to boys for their health's
sake will unhesitatingly urge them to the
widest course of cerebral gluttony. Cases
have been cited in which pupil teachers,
after working all day at schools, have had
to pass their evenings in reading for exam
nations. and many of them doubtless AXE
no Sunday rest. These unnatural calls
upon the brain lead to exam. fever-that
is form of brain fever with complica-
ton of neurosis-a most difficult complaint
to treat, and one which may become
chronic if the patient can not get perfect
rest.

A PRIZE BABY.
Harper's Magazine, December.


On an Atlantic steamer bound for New
York, year Or so ago, the usual entertain
ment for the benefit of Liverpool charity
was projected There happened to be on
board good many professionals" actors
and singers, who all promised to take part
except one, who kept aloof, and stubbornly
declined to assist. AS he, was the star
most desired, every effort was made to
change his mind, and the committee OF ar
rangements at last applied to P. t. Bar
mum (whO was, as usual an inconsplcuous
passenger, and begged him to labor with
the reluctant singer. Mr.. Barnum under
took the mission, and after stating the
case and making his appeal, some what to
his surprise, the man at once assented.
II refused all these people," he said,
'and l dislike exceedingly to take part in
this sort of entertainment, but if you ask
me, Mr.. Barnum, cannot decline. l am
glad to do anything that will please you"
Mr.. Barnum felt much complimented,
but protested little, when the man con-
tinued:
"You did me a great favor once, Mr..
Barnum, and | have never forgotten it.
You may not recall it, but / am under
great obligations to you"
why" hesitated the great Snowman, Il
must confess that don't recall the circum-
stance, and yet your face is familiar. l
