Regarding the Tacoma tournament
The AsToRIAN has a word to say,
which is that the coming contest is
going to be no picnic, and if the As

have to send one of their old time

is sure, provided they send winning
team. 1t will not be won though, by
experimenting with greenhorns.

The unaccountable rise in the wa
ters of Harrison lake and river, an
nounced in these columns few days
age, says the Nanaimo Columbian, has
brought several theories to the front,
the most probable one being that the
immense salmon run has been
the cause of it. The theory is quite
likely to be correct, for reports say
that Harrison river is simply a mass
of salmon moving so thickly that the
water is black with them from shore
to shore, and boats have simply to
plow a road through the fish in order
to obtain a passage. The millions
that enter the lake every day must
necessarily displace a large quantity
of water, and, consequently, cause the
lake to rise. The lake is about forty
miles long and several miles wide
most of its length, and therefore the
number of salmon required to raise
the water three feet in four weeks
must have been something enormous.
1t it generally conceded that the sal
mon theory must be correct.

Coming in on an 0. X. l. n. car from
eastern Oregon the other day sat a
gruff middle aged man. much resem-
bling a bear. He was reading a news
paper. Behind him sat man with a
pale face, who held in his arms a
baby. He evidently was not in the
habit of managing babies. At all
events he failed slgnally in this in
stance. He had a bottle of milk,
which he offered the baby when it
cried, but the baby refused it and
only cried the more, Finally the bear
turned in his seat and inquired in a
loud voice if there was no way to quiet
that baby. The pale faced man said
that he had found no way. The baby
cried all the more, and the bear grew
fierce. After telling the pale faced
man several times that the baby was a
nuisance he inquired: Where in
thunder is that child's mother? l
wish she would come and take care of
it." The mother Of this baby" said
the pale faced man, ''is in a coffin iii
the front car" Now. then" said a
passenger, looking al the bear, IF
yOu don't hush YOU will he pitched
out of the ear" The baby cried and
fretted all the rest of the way, but not
another word was said by the bear

READING AND WRITING.

How to Increase tho Happiness and Pleas
ures Of the Home Circle.
Those accomplishments are the most ex-
cellent and most worthy Of cultivation
which contribute most largely to the happi-
ness Of others, says the New York Ledger.
I place that Of reading well before every
one of the arts which usually are 20 desig-
mated; and, certainly. had the fairy's
power to bestow ON those I loved the gift
which should most endear them to others
not, ofcourse, including good principle, good
sense and good temper-I would give them
the power Of delighting their own family
circle by reading and talking well The
former art especially is cultivated far too
little for the health as well as the happi-
ness Of young women; so much Ii 1t neg
iected that probably twenty can sing pleas
ingly for every one that can read agreeably.
Yet we can not doubt that q voice for sing
ing il comparatively rare, and that almost
any one who chooses to do 30 can
read so as to give pleasure. Per-
haps there are two reasons for the
general neglect Of this charming accom-
plishment. In the first place, we are far too
apt to cultivate most carefully that which
is to please in society, and to neglect those
arts which can contribute to domestic hap
piness. We sing for our acquaintances TO
excite the admiration, or, it may be, the
envy of people who see us but seldom, and
would not greatly care II they never saw US
again. But in being able to read well q
good book or paper, we are only likely to
give pleasure to an invalid father or
brother, or perhaps . group Of younger
brothers and sisterA But to increase the
happiness of but one Of our home circle
ought to be a source Of far more satisfac-
ton to us than the applause Of any stranger
whatever. To while away the dreary
hours Of pain and sickness-to charm
