\ Lemon Squeeze.

The following description OF Il lemon
squeeze is taken from the Olympia letter
to the Post-IntelligcnCer. As has been
stated in the columns of the ARGUS, the
Young ladies of st. Paul's will have a
squeeze on the S0th inst:
The wealth and beauty of the capital
city turned out en- masse last Tuesday
evening, to enjoy few hours at the de-
lightful home OF Mrs. T. Z. McElroy, by
invitation OF the ladies OF the Episcopal
Church. \ "lemon squeeze" was an
nounced as the principal attraction, and
this proved TO be a very unique and in
teresting part of the programme, indeed.
Each guest was requested to bring
"a lemon, which request was very
generally obeyed. During the evening
each guest was required to cut open his
lemon and count the seeds which ii con-
tanned This being done, the ten or fiji
teen guests whose lemons contained the
greatest number of seeds were pre-
sented with elegant presents, and all the
balance received bag OF delicious home,
made candy, and were required to make
the lemonade for their more successful
competitors. no. l in this seed contest
was Prof w. H. Roberts, and he re-
ceived an elegantly made handkerchief
case. During the evening games ot
various kinds were INDUCED in, and N
elegant lunch was served. Delightful
music was furnished by Prof. w. II
Roberts, Mrs. 5. +. Joacs and Henry
Harris, which added greatly to the
pleasure OF the guests. \ collection wa.
taken up during the evening, and e.
handsome sum was added TO the churcl

From Tnursonn,ana1Ir.

Port Townsend is musical If nothing!
This fact Is demonstrated at every ap-
pearance OF Il musical combination or at
our local G.ee Club concerts. aud we
doubt If there Is n city in the country
tie size of Ours that could organize a
club of fifty members with such excep-
tionally fine voices rs those OF its mem
bers. We have been at loss to under
stand why, with so much musical talent
as exists in our midst that it has been
necessary to send to other cities for
music and musical instruments. Prof
Melville aud wife have decided to open
music store in the room now occupied
by Smith aud Ellis in the Pontius- -HalIer
building, and in so doing they will fill a
much needed want. Prof. Melville has
secured the agency for the Cbickering
Hallet Il Davis and Kimba pianos, the
acknowledged finest instruments extant.
The new venture is an assured success.
and the new firm has our best wishes.

THEY tell good story about Post
master General Wanamaker. When
he began to build his church in Phila-
delphia, it is said, he told his Sunday
school boys that he wanted them each
to have personal interest in the new
building, and he, therefore, expected
that on the morrow every one of them
would bring nice new brick. The
brick were forthcoming, but, in view of
the fact that boys are not in the habit
of buying such things, and also in con-
sideration of the sudden depletion of
sundry brick-piles in divers parts of
the city, Mr.. Wanamaker had to listen
to many insulating comments upon
the brick business as connected With
the building of church edi6ces.

1T is evident from the tone of two or
three articles on Giordano Bruno,
which are found in the English month
lies for August, that the act of the
Italian Government in allowing a
statue to be erected in his memory is
regarded as direct challenge to the
Roman Catholic Church, and that the
Roman curia has SO interpreted it.
The English Tablet thinks that the
Italian Government has compromised
itself. 1t cannot get rid of the Pope
without inviting difficulties which are
greater than those incurred by his re-
naming at Rome; and if it dare not
compel him to leave Rome, what is the
use of putting such a thorn into his
side as the honoring of Bruno, when
the church has branded him as here
tic for three centuries? The present
political and religious antagonisms in
Italy are chronic and bitter.

A LETTER intended for Ruskin has

It was posted in Leith on NOVEL,, 1887,
with this address: "The Learned Mr..
Ruskin, the Famous Author, England.
Then from Edinburgh it was for.
warded to Kendall, and there Mr..
Ruskin had never been heard of. The
Kendall Postmaster tried London, and
there it was thought that Mr.. Ruskin
lived at Rye Lane, Peckham. From
Office to Office the letter went in
the southeast and south districts OF
London, but all to no purpose, and il
then occurred to the Postoffice that
Ruskin might be neighbor of Joseph
Chamberlain, but from Birmingham it
went to Carlisle. From there is was
again sent to Edinburgh, and this time
q happy though occurred. The Edin.
burgh Postmaster wrote on it: "Christ
Church College, Oxford" and the
postal authorities there knew the cor.
rect address to be Brentwood.

THE unwonted scarcity of news in

led an ambitious reporter to take a five

He came forth looking as though he

Indiana district. But his heroic soul
was filed with the joy of triumph. At
the risk of his life, he had found some
thing in Philadelphia dirtier than

years, testing clays in New Mexico,

discovered you have permanent and

1ently Ill in short time, and the older
girl died that night. The younger
fingered in great agony until next
morning, and then died. Investigation
showed that the roses were full of little
green insects, and these we're supposed

munching growing things wherever
found, should take timely warning
from this sad calamity.
