Fire Out the Rubbish.


Don't keep accumulations with the vague feel
ing that some time they may be wanted. Most
of US have quantities OF halfworn garments,
piles OF old magazines, books in miscellaneous
collection, and all sorts Of accommodations In gar
ret and closet and store-room that are of no pos
sible immediate use, and yet are too good to
throw away. Now, there is q place for each ar
ticle Of this sort, be- it book. or haltworn gar
ment, or OutOf-date periodical. Besides the
valuable service all reading matter will do at
our hospitals there are the asylums for the
destitute, where clothing of all kinds can be
utilized, and most OF US are poor, indeed, in OBJ
not know OF Individual needs that these accu-
mutations could meet. Before the season opens
again let US see " 1t that we have q new order

huous article to the place where it can do the

A Theological Domestic.

FROM the Detroit PreSS
Not ali the domestics in Portland, Oregon, are
Cinnamon. Mrs. Scott, of that city, rejoices in
the assistance OF an excellent Scotch girl by the
name of Martha-an ancient and pious female
Martha is a jealous theoIogian and an ardent
exhorter. Her religion, moreover, is of the
practical kind that shines all the brighter under
the rub of everyday temptations. She is hon.
est, truthful, industrious and obliging, but that
she is not always coherent the following anec-
dotes show:
A few days ago, Mrs. Scott was screwing
the cover on the last of long row of patent
seli-sealing, indestructible fruit jars, She re-
the last OF the Strawberries, I'm thankful to
say
''I'hen it viii be raspberries or something
else" replied Martha. "Still what a beautiful
world we live in. and YETI are born TO die and
shapen in iniquity.'
The next day Mrs Scott said: well Martha
We have a chocolate pudding for dinner-the
recipe just got, you know
lord, ma am said Martha, show many
new things There are and yet how soon We
pass away into never never ending eternity
where our tate is sealed for ever never, ever
'never."
But it is not always that Martha carries off
the honors of controversy. On one occasion
she was fairly fioCred by Aunt Phoebe "a good
old colored woman of the Methodist persua-
sion. Aunt Phoebe had been giving an expla-
nation OF the Methodist doctrine of falling
from grace, TO which Martha had listened
at last interrupted by saying: "If believed
like you, that / could fall from grace forty
times year ana get up again and nothing
said about il I'd lie an steal an do everything

''Lor' bless yer heart, honey" said Aunt
Phoebe, in her soft, unctuous tones, cob course

1t seems to be the general impression that the
Department of State made a mistake at the
start, In connection with the Cutting case, and
it Is reported that in endeavoring to make
graceful back-down the department will
make Consul Brigham bear all the
responsibility and will recall him at
an early day. The Department officials
do not acknowledge, however, that any
false step has been made but express implicit
confidence in the final amicable settlement OF
the trouble. So far fr m desiring to blame Con-
sui Brigham, the officials of the department are
outspoken in their praise of the manner In
which he has filled his position. They say that
he has performed his duties in the most salts
factory manner, and his course during the
recent troubles with Mexico has been all that
could be desired.
No information has been received at the State
department regarding the report that Cutting
is TO be released as soon as he has entered upon
his term OF imprisonment. 1t is confidently
expected that his release will be shortly effected
in an ahlicable way. With Cutting out of the
way the administration will endeavOr to secure
the abolition Of the claim of extra territorial
jurisdiction In the future on the part of Mexico

OVER ONE HUNDRED PERSONS DAILY WHO
CLIMB 70 THE TOP OF THE MoNUMENT-THE
ELEVATOR TO BE READY IN OCTOBER.
The Washington monument is visited daily
by over one hundred persons, who have no hest
fancy in attempting the arduous climb, being
satisfied that they will be repaid amply for
their trouble by the magnificent view to be OBJ
tanned Through the windows at the top of the
shaft. A great many of these visit
ors are ladies, but when they
are in the party the advice Is
always given to carry 81 light, as the ascent Is
very dark. During July 1888 passes were
issued at the monument office to persons de-
string to make the ascent, and 50 far this month
over ], 800 permits have been granted. These
passes will be continued until the elevator is
transformed into passenger car, and
can be utilized. The contractors, Otis
Brothers, are to have it completed by the 10Th
of October The work OF transferring the old
boiler to the new boiler house and OF providing
new boiler Is in progress, and is to be COM
pleted next month. 1t is probable that nothing
will be done towards preparing the mound
which is to slope from the base Of the monu-
ment for some time.
The work necessitates the filling of Babcock
lake, and this is not to be done until after the
1st of december, by which time the carp will
be transferred. An inventory is now being
made of all the materials and tools on hand
after the completion of the monument, with q
view OF dispOsing of them at auction.
