PUGGIE'S TOOTHBRUSH.
Luxurious Habits of the Pampered lap
Dogs of Society Women.

Dogs OF Society Women.
There is more to the pug-dog habit than
appears to those who simply observe the
luxurious habits Of the little animals as they
are borne about on the laps of adjoining mis-
tresses. six-mon ths-old-baby can not be
compared to them.
A girl who never owned any pugs, but
who had a great liking for them, offered
= to take charge OF one belonging to a
friend who was about to 90 on a Journey
where she could not take her pet, says Clara
Belle in the Chicago Tribune. The offer was
gladly accepted, andfhe next day an express
wagon came with a big packing box con-
tanning the effects of dear puggie
There was rattan basket for him to sleep
in, bath-tub, sponge and towels with his
name embroidered ON them, and a cake of
pure CASTLE soap on a silver dish; an ivory
comb and brush, beautifully hand-painted:
a decorated plate for his food, and bowl
for milk or water; several pounds of dog
biscuit in beautiful fancy box and a bon
bon basket filed with confections to be
given one after each meal for desert; a case
of homeopathic medicines for use should he
be taken i'll; blanket for his basket and
another finely-embroidered one to cover
him with, and there were two sets of these,
that they might be washed and renewed
each week; then there was a blanket coat
for him to run out of doors with and thin
ner one for the mildest days; blanket to
wrap him in after his bath and one as an ex-
ira cover on cold nights; little harness to
put on when he should go out to walk, and
chains of gold and silver; three or four col
lars and dozen or so of different colored
bows for his neck; silver whistle to call
him if he should stray; ball for him to
play with, and an embroidered hair pillow
for him to curl up on in the daytime.
:" / have not sent his exercise box or his
tooth BRUSH" the friend wrote at the end of
a long letter of instructions; "please buy
him soft one and use it every morning.
The exercise box was afraid would be in
the way, and as you are always well 1
know you will take him out to walk every
day."

Rmilrnrinn1 OF me sexes.

In. Europe there is greater excess Of
women in the north than IN the states Of
middle Europe and the east, in some Of
which the women arc in the minority.
ThroughEurope as whole, the number Of
women is very definitely in excess of that
of the men, and the excess appears to be
increasing. 1t was very great after the
Napoleonic wars; then the numbers grad
ually tended toward equality, and nearly
reached it CS47 to 1850, 1908 to 1,00O) then
they diverged again, and stood in $50, 1,037
to 1000. The phases OF increased difference
are generally Observable after wars, and,
latterIy, appear TO be the result partly Of
the enormous emigration which has taken
place to other quarters OF the earth. In
America, as a whole, and in Australia and
Africa, on the other hand, whittier this
emigration with its preponderance Of males
is tending, the men are in excess, and the
excess is Increasing with the constant ar
rival Of new parties Of emigrants. Never
theless, a near approach TO equality prevails
over the earth as whole, and this whether
we regard the white, black or red races, or
their mixtures.

The Women again in Tribulati0p.

The question Of woman suffrage WAS
before Judge Nash, at Spokane Falls,
on Tuesday last, on u test case. He
decided the act unconstitutional,
Judge Nash, in delivering bis opinion,
said:
81 had intended to write an opin-
ion in this case, but as the decision
will probably be reviewed by higher
court, will only say, in a general way,
that the federal congress, in legisla-
ton on the question OF the Territories,
and in granting the right to them in
the organic act to confer suffrage, had
all the time in view males only, and
has at all times, by every possible i'm
plication, excluded females from oc-
cupying and holding office. | regard
this as the all controlling point in the
case.
A similar principle has been de-
cided in Massachusetts,, in passing on
the question of the admission of wo-
men to practice law They are, in
that state, undoubtedly citizens, but
not contemplated as such by the law
when made comforting the right upon
citizens to practice law
80, also, in the Dread Scott de-
cisiOn. Scott was native.born Amer
lean, but the Supreme Court of the
United States held that he was not a
man within the meaning OF the con-
stitution OF the United States.
There are four kindred cases. All
the legislation of congress on the sub
ject of suffrage refers to males only,
and excludes females. The atmos-
phere and ideas that surround a leg
islative body at the time a law is made
are supposed to permeate and enter
into the law, and remain with it until
changed. No matter how much pub
lie opinion may change on the subject,
public opinion does not change the
law. 1t must be construed by the in
tention OF the lawmakers, as it ex-
listed at the time of making the law.
There are other points. For in
stance, the proviso attached to the law
inimical to the organic act; hut the
main point Is as above stated. have
never yet heard the most fanatical adj
vocate of woman suffrage but what il
forced to admit that congress now and
always has been opposed to woman
suffrage. As an Illustration, when our
Supreme Court decided the act un-
constitutional the first time, congress
was appealed to to validate tpe act
and refused.
In conclusion, and as a summary
OF the whole question. the organic act
does not confer power upon the legis
lature to confer suffrage on women
, 1t was not so intended by the Law
makers who framed the act.

Frank Mossman, the "Dick Tur-
pin" of Puget Sound, signalized his
presence, Saturday night, by disorderly
conduct in Mr.. Dolan's saloon, and
was promptly elected by the pro-
prietor. A few moments afterwards,
he appeared at the door with num-
Der of rocks which he threw at Mr.. /
d., slightly wounding him on the !
wrist and breaking costly mirror be-
hind the bar In effccting his arrest,
officer McClelland was assaulted by
the young desperate, and it was only /
after much difficulty that he was
placed behind the bars. Monday he |
was brought before Judge Ready on a
charge of resisting an officer and held
i'll the sum OF $500 to appear at the
next term of court. In default of |
bonds he languishes in the steel cell. /
Merchants report business brighten
ing, more goods sold and an increased |
percentage of cash sales. They also |
speak of having sold numerous bills |
of goods to strangers who have come
us. With her natural re-
sources and advantages there is no
reason why Thurston county should
not receive her full share of the enor-
nous immigration attracted toward
Oregon and Washington Territory at
the present time, unless it be her lack
OF advertising. Portland has spent,
and is spending, large sums of money
to attract the flood Of immigrants to
that city. Pendleton in Eastern
Oregon, Is also flooding Eastern
points with advertisements of charms
and advantages which she possesses
only on paper. Spokane Falls, the
of the Northwest, is by
no means behind, and although she
does possess advantages, they are
greatly overrated. Timber districts,
both in Oregon and Washington Ter
ritoIy, are attracting more attention,
seemingly, than the prairie country.
A class of people are coming here
who recognize the vast wealth of our
timber districts, and have both money
and nerve to overcome the difficulties
always to be encountered in heavily
timhered country and turn their la
Dor into profits. We need some OF
these men, and should put forth an
effort to obtain our share of the pre-
sent tide Of immigration.
