PUGET SOUND BEAUTIES.
The Grandest sight to BE Seen Anywher
In the World.

The Grandest Sight to BE Seen Anywhere
In the World.
A tourist who has but recently re-
turned from a prolonged trip through
the Northwest, speaks in the following
enthusiastic terms of the great Puget
Sound: Il have travelled pretty much
all over the world, said he, land CON
slider that Puget Sound is in many re-
spects the most beautiful sheet of water
that | have ever seen. 1t penetrates
into the heart of Washington, and al
though but eighty miles in length, 1t is
diversified with innumerable bays and
inlets, so that its shore line can not be
less than five hundred miles. The
sound is divided into two separate arms
or inlets, between which lies long
Jagged mountainous peninsula. Seattle
and Tacoma are on one arm, while
Olympia, the capital of the State, is at
the extreme end of the other. The wa
ters of the sound are very deep and
blue as sapphire, reminding one strong
ly of the blue waters Of the Mediter-
ranean along the southern coast Of
France There is six hundred feet OF
water close by Tacoma and that is
eighty miles inland. In fact there is
great difficulty III getting an anchorage
at all in many portions of the sound.
The shores are rocky and precipitous
and clothed with an almost i'm
penetrable growth of iron frs and
pines upon which the woodman' SAKE has
hardly. as yet, made an impression. al
though numbering operations have been
IN progress for twenty years. At times

for days a a time and then again it is
transformed into a most dangerous and
empestuous seattle irregular shore line
makes the winds very variable and nav
cation at times both difficult and dan
eerous. The sound is also the sub ect of
"a most curious tide phenomenon. Owing
to it's narrow mouth the tide makes but
slow progress inland and upon its ebh
meets the following tide about half way
down the sound. When the two bodies
OF water meet, there ensues miniature
uaelstrom, the waters surge and boil
while trunks of trees wrcckage and
Dir ftwood almost obscure the surface,
and arc held there for many days by the
currents. East of the sound
are the Cascades, with Jagged. snow-clad
peaks, while Mount Rainier. with its
rounded peak, although fifty miles
away, is plainly visible. On the western
side issues the lofty Olymp an range
seemingly shelving down to the very
shores Altogether the sound is
grandly beautiful sheet of water and
people who once visit it are never salts
fed till they see it again. "-Minneapo

THE FIRST CABLE.


Sen Message to Europe.
"Nhen llc first cable was laid it came
to Cape Race, near St Johns, New
foundland. The Newfoundland Tele-
graph Company had a cable across the
Bay of Newfoundland, and the telegraph
line was extended to meet it. The ice
i'll the Bay of Newfoundland caused so
much trouble with the cable that the
cable company was obliged to buy out
the telegraph company, whose wires CON
nected with it's line, and tear down the
wares, The Atlantic cable was then
brought down to Cape Breton between
the Gulf of Canso and the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, where connection was made
with land lines. The development of
the cable business has been great. The
gross revenue from the cables are now
much larger than they were four years
ago, when the rate to Europe was 80
cents word. The present rate is %
cents, but not SO many messages are
sent as when the rate was II cents.

body that it worked. The first cable

Value Of the lesh-Brush.

1t is well known that muscles put to
any unusual or severe strain are likely to
suffer lameness and soreness. Some
times this paves the way for rheumatism.
A brisk rubbing of the parts that have
been overworked will save subsequent
lameness. If the lower limbs are treated
in this way after an unusual and fati&u-
ing walk. the naturally-expected lame
ness will be quite sure to b missed the
following day. Those who find it diff
cult to get to sleep at night should try
the experiment of giving the body a
brisk and thorough rubbing just before
retiring. using the palms Of the hands,
or moderately stiff towel, or fesh-brush.
while the effect of freeing the pores Of
the skin from deleterious matter would
be beneficial to the general health.
With babies, gentle but thorough rub
bling of the whole body with the hands
at night not only quiets the nerves and
renders the little ones generally comfor-
table, but induces refreshing sleep This
is a fact with which many mothers are
unfamiliar, but which, II followed,
would add much to the comfort end

children. Harsh or leng-oontinued fric-
sion is to be avoided, since this would
irritate the skin and cause discomfort
