A CITIZEN expresses his veiws in
reference to the condition of the
streets in card in another column.
His statements are absolutely true
aad his suggestions as to the method
of tire itment is the same as favored
by the press of this city. With the
natural gravelly condition OF the soil
paving is useless expense. However
there is one point that should he
made, this muddy condition is due
largely TO want of sufficient surface
drainage. With good drainage there
would be far less of the nasty slush
of which so much fault is found.

The tornado has commenced it's
work Of destruction in the East, and
the first of the season Is frightfu in
its effects. Mt. Vernon, small, but
handsome interior town Of Illinois,
only few miles east of st. Louis, was
the target for the cyclone in this in
stance, and the result is not only ter
rible destruction of property, but
what is far worse, frightful loss OF
life. To add to the horror of the
storm fire broke out in the ruins, and
many who were but injured by the fly
ing debris were roasted The scene of
the wreck and holocaust begears des-
cription. 1t is one of the most appal-
ling catastrophes in the history of the
country, and the particulars as gwen
in our press report are blood curdling.
The proprietors considered the
news OF such Importance that the re-
port was issued in tire shape OF an ex-
ira at an early hour yesterday after
noon. This early appearance of the
tornado will have its effect in causing
people living in the-belt of country sub
jected to such visitations to turn their
faces westward in search of homes
where there is some protection to life
and property. No man can consider
himself or family safe where such
storms are common, and rs they seem
to be growing more frequent and Sc
we're eve-y year, there will be general
exodus from that part OF the country.
To all those who are living in those
states where the cyclone is a part OF
the summer weather, we recommend

that the streets of Spokane Falls are almost
impossible. This sends abroad wrong inn

RUMoR is busy handling the names
of various individuals for the several
municipal offices TO be filed this
spring. All are good men, hs the
average run of citizens goes, but the
people should exercise some judgment
and not be influenced too much by
personal friendships in this matter OF
making selections. The moral as
we'll as business interests of
the oi,y must be considered in the
selection of a candidate, and the fit
ness OF a men for certain offices
should be carefully weighed. The
city is at that stage of its growth when
men acknowledged capacity and abil-
ity should be selected to fill the posi-
tions. Men OF action, not figureheads
are wanted. 1t is impossible to make
selections that will suit everybody, but
the people owe it to the welfare of the
city to elect only those fit to co iduct
the growing municipal business.

Charles Lambs devotion to his insane sis
ter was one of those Instances of self abnega-
ton which are as a silver lining to the darker
and more sinister traits of human nature,
but it is, perhaps, more than equaled in some
respects by an instance of unselish devotion
on the part of a man in one of the institu-
tions near New York such as is rare outside
of the pages of fiction. 1t is the case Of a
man and wife. They lived happily together,
but by one of those strange visitations of
fate the happy wife became insane. Cases
are not rare where a husband has shown de
votion to an insane wife. There are others
in which the husband has sought to play the
role of Mr.. Rochester in "Jane Eyre,n and
ignore a tie which he speciously argued had
been snndered by a stroke of fate, though in
most, if not all, of our states, at least, insan-
ity subsequent to marriage is regarded as a
disease, and no more a ground for divorce
than consumption or any other ailment.
Butin this case the husband forsook his
home in New York, where he had lived on a
small income received from wealthy parents
in Europe, and sought and secured a position
as bookkeeper in the workhouse close by the
insane asylum where his wife was confined.

her fixed delusions across that dark mental
gulf which separates the Gehenna of mad
ness from the relative paradise of sanity.
His only thought is to soften the blow to his
wife as much as possible, to ameliorate as far
as may be her sufferings, a pathetic attempt
to make the hand of fate seem like velvet
instead of iron. For seven years he has re-
manned faithful in his devotion to his men
tally dead wife, sepulchred, so to speak, as
a hopeless lunatic in the cemetery of the
mind, an insane asylum, a man not, perhaps,
endowed with the intellectual qualities which
command the admiration of men, but illum-
ined by unselfsh devotion as with a sacred
nimbus.-Oscar W~iloughhy Riggs.

Suppose |, as an American author, write q
novel, and arrange with n publisher to bring
it out at the price of one dollar a volume, or
fifty cents paper. If he has confidence in

my share of the proceeds, on the ordinary

The Cost of AN Education.

In speaking Of the relative cost of college
sducations in the great universities in Europe
N comparison with the expense necessary to
complete the course in American institI-
tions of learning a recent graduate of the
Glasgow university, Scotland, said to u re
porter:
THE total cost of a COLLEGE education in
Inc Old country is considerably smaller than
It is here, and especially is it true of the Scot
fish universities, where l imagine the outlay
Is at u minimum, even below that required at
the great universities of Germany. know,
personally, that there are many students ut
Glasgow who are able TO pay all their collegi-
ate expenses, including their living, clothes
and books, for about $3.50 per year, and they
are the envy Of their fellows, many Of whom
are compelled to be content with much less.

world.
In the matter of discipline the speaker
added, "the rules of tho Scotch universities
are the most stringent, and such us would not
be tolerated by the American college student
of today, but | think that the results are bet
ter there than here, for when you find u man
who holds his degree from a Scotch college
you will, in nine cases out of ten, find a

-Four Europeans who had been out after
tiger in the Maimensing district were, saws
a Calcutta paper, returning at the close of a
very long day, and had almost reached the
factory where they were to dine and pass tho
night, when the captain ordered a halt. Tho
'line' at once pulled up, and he said: 81 hate
seeing loaded rifles taken into a house Dit was

where there are children; l propose that we
fire ours Off" "Al right" said another,
"but we nave not had a shot all day; what
do you say to a 'pool'F' 'sThere's nothing to
fire at" observed a third. ''There's that
ghurrah," said the captain, pointing to an
earthern vessel which some ryots who were
working at q little distance had, as usual,
brought their days supply of drinking water
in. VERY good" said the fourth, "but,
what with bad light and the distance, it's by
no means an easy shot. 1 propose we each
put a chick on" GLOW shall we decide as to
the order of fringT said one. "Oh," replied
the captain, generously, commence at your
end of the line"
The mark was by no means an easy one to
hit, for the distance was well nigh q hundred
yards, the guns smooth bores and the light
that deceptive kind which one gets just be-
tween daylight and dark. But, on the other
hand, the hunters were exceptionally good
men, all excellent shots, either Of whom could
hit a running deer from the back of an ele-
plant twice out of three times. "Fire away"
said the captain. No. l grazed the right side
of the vessel, and it was thought must have
hit it. No. > went just over it. No. 5 went
a little to the left. THANK you, gentlemen"
said the captain, 'Tll trouble you for those
II rupees" He raised his gun as he spoke,
and the next moment the jar was covered
with earth; the bullet had cut the ground
beneath it.
Presently the vessel was seen to wriggle
and then TO kick, while n feeble cry pro
claimed it to be a baby. Consideration was
depicted on every face. The elephants

The Popularity Of Pictures.

What will be the result of the popular
ization Of the picture? VIII harm or
good follow, from an artistic standpoint
1t seems reasonable to assume that good
must come. The newspaper cut is laid
before the eyes of thousands daily, who
would otherwise take no interest in pict.
ures of any kind. In the columns of their
daily paper or their weekly journal these
thousands must in time grow to look
upon n picture with increased interest,
and to value it as expressing an idea. a
sentiment, more clearly and forcibly than
types can do this. The child, familiar
lied daily with pictures, must grow to be
an adult to whom @ picture is a necessity.
AS a consequence he becomes a Judge of
pictures and a patron of art, though it
may be an humble way. In time real art
is the beneficiary. The entering wedge to
this state of affairs is the newspaper cut.
