The announcement that Spokane

subscription of S175,OOO to purchase
stock of the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern railway company, in consid-
Grafton of the prompt commence
ment and construction of a forty
mile section of the road eastward
from that city, while gratifying, ex-
cites 40 surprise. 1t is foregone
conclusion that if Spokane decides to
do thing it will be done. The rapid
completion of the subscription-quite
large for a city of 10000 people-is a
guaranty that within eighteen or
twenty months at the farthest, Seattle
and Spokane will be united by an in
dependent railway line constructed
economically, with comparatively a
light bonded debt, and therefore able
to serve both cities and the interven-
ing territory, at living rates with a
good profit-TimeS.

We have Just been reading about the

On the first 200 the stereotypef loses six
cents per copy, the publisher loses
eighteen cents, the suthoT loses ten cents,
tha printer loses his time and ths reader
loses his patience. You see there isn't
really very much made on the FIRST J. 600;
the profits develop more fully on the sue
ceeding thousands. Suppose, for instance,
you decide to publish an edihon of S. 900;
you lose 500 on the nrst ], 900. Then
you change your mind and don't publish
the other 200. You make 800 en- them,
a clear profit Of $500 net. You can't see
it? Well, don't you ever publish book,
then, that's all; you haven't the real
authors instinct; you hRvs no genius.--

Soap in tho Holy LeuI

The introduction Of soap Is doing much
to civilize the people Of the Holy Land.
A large soap factory has been established
on the site of the ancient Sechem, and the
people are beginning to use it on their
persons instead Of trying to eat it as they
did at first. Along with the introduction
of soap other reforms are going on.
Dcthelehem has been rebuilt, and the
streets are lighted with gas. Cesarea is
having q building boom. Nazareth is
becoming the headquarters of big olive oil
spectators. Corner lots in Joppa are
going up with q rush, and real estate In
Mount Carmel is largely held by specu-
lators for an advance. The ladies OF

4 Priest with q Mustache.

At the opening of the church at Cannes
built in memory Of the late duke Of Al
bany, the priest who read the lessons wore
a mustache. The primes of Wales, tc
whom he was introduced, observing the
hirsute appendage to the clerical upper
lip, suggested that the ornament should bl
removed. The suggestion was carried
out The royal rebuke Of O modern Gus
tom which somo persons have adopted Of
wearing a mustache or shaving eitheI
cheek or chin or both Is commendable. A
priest should either shave clean or not
shave at all. He should certainly not trim
his face like a dragon, attractive though
it may be to the female portion Of his con,
gregation- London Truth.

The terms of arrangement with
the Canadian Pacific and the govern
ment for the abandonment of the
monopoly in Manitoba and the
Northwest have at least been made
public. The Canadian Pacific rail
road agrees to abandon the monop-
oily and the government agrees to
guarantee an ISSUE of their bonds

for which the Canadian Pacific rail
road gives security on its lands in

to expend the money TO be raised on
such guarantee in extending certain

of rolling stock for the main line.
Tho arrangement is said to be re
