Children in Poorhouses.

There are six hundred children in the
poorhouses OF Illinois. Other states
allow the same abnormal outrage to
continue. With them are some of the
most debauehed OF adults, insane as
well, in some states. immortality OF the
grossest sort is openly practiced, and

When l learned that a boat would
leave late Saturday night for Victoria, l
decided to grasp the opportunity and
spend Sunday with our Canadian cousins.
After such a warm, MINDLESS day as was
Saturday, it was 4 surprise to find the
water in the straits as rough as 1t was !;
people who were never known to give up
anything did so ON this occasion, but re-
luctantly, We are forced to believe, from
the groans which came forth from the
state rooms.
To describe Victoria would be to tell
nearly all of our citizens what they al
ready know, and TO say that it is one of
the most beautifully located cities on the
Pacific Coast would be simply concurring
in the opinion of every one who ever
visited it. As u residence spot it cannot
be surpassed, but as business location
it does not in any way compare with our
own little Port Townsend. The people

The question is asked every day,
"what steps are being taken toward get
ting better telegraphic service TO Port
Townsend" That chap would gladly
answer the question, but until some def
mite stand is taken by the people the
city is apt TO continue suffering under
the lash OF this one beastly monopoly.
1t is not only the fact that exhorbitant
rates are charged on the present line,
but because it is not to be depended
upon. One never knows when the line
is going down." and it frequently hap
pens that our merchants lose large sales
through their inability to reach their
customers. There are capitalists here
who could build line without incon-
venience to themselves, and pay hand
some profit on their investment after the
first years business.

Time to Reform the Calendar.

An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
has moved reorganization of the cal
endar. Winter, he contends, should be-
gin on Jan. and include March; spring
should commence with April and in
clude June; July, August and Septem'
Der should constitute summer, and the
fall, beginning with October, should not
end till after Christmas. His new cal
endar would play the mischief with ira
ditions, but it would come nearer to &C
tual experience than does the present
Anticipated European article. The pro-
cession Of the equinoxes is too slow alto
gether,for the American climate. Facts
are on the side of reform, and if the
weather does not speedily repent and
bring forth fruits more meet for repent
ance than rank grass and dropsical pota-
toes, the newly established department
of agriculture will be called on to revise
the calendar.-Brooklyn Citizen.

Friendly Advice,

came across trio of reminiscent

hear the following, which the narrator,
Ben Stern, of the Carleton company, says
he has never seen in print:
candy McKaye was managing The
Seven Ravens when they got stranded
in Chicago. He didn't lose his appetite
over the event, however, and he sat in a
restaurant eating one night when Vain.
rata, the rope walker, who was one OF
the company, came in in great distress
and asked McKaye how ON earth he was
to get back to New York. 1t was the
first time he was ever stuck in this way
and he couldn't stay in Chicago and
starve.
We'll, there's nothing to keep you
from going back to New York. said Nc
Kaye; the company's broken up and the
way is OPEN
"'But, great heavens haven't cent?
"'Now, look here said McKaye;
aren't you the greatest wire walker In

"'Well, there are wires all the way
from here to New York. I'd advise you,
by the way, to travel at night; the tele-
graph company charges only half rates
