A Good Manager.

A bareheaded woman, with a faded and
ragged dress, solicited aims the other even
ing of gentleman who was crossing the
City Hall park. He came to a halt and
asked:
''Is it for drink?"
"No, sir; it's for food"
"But don't know how you live. have
to practice economy in order to have mon
ey in my pocket. You may be recklessly
extravagant for all know. How much
money have you spent today?"
"Well, sir, I've made seven cents run
five of us on cold potatoes so far; and if I
can get three more We'll top off with bread
and water before we go to bed. Might leave
out the bread, sir, if can find bit of tar
somewhere to thicken up the water and
deceive the children. Can you draw it any
finer than that, sirP"

Taking Up Indifferent Husbands.

A little man asking how it happened that
many beautiful ladies took up with but in.
different husbands, after many fine offers,
was thus aptly answered by a mountain
maiden:
A young friend of hers, during walk,
requested her to go into delightful cane
brake, and there get him the handsomest
reed; she must get it in once going
through, without turning. She went, and
coming out brought him quite a mean
reed. When he asked if that was the hand
soonest one she saw, "Oh, no." replied she,
II saw many finer as I went along, but l
kept on in hopes of much better, until
had gotten nearly through, and then was
obliged to select the best that was left" -

MY GUEST.
Az early dawn I woke,

Az early dawn woke,
heard robin and looked OUT
Beneath my window, where the roses bloomed,
Love stood In blushing doubt.
His smile was very sweet
But yet his lips did not his name disclose.
I knew him not, and soon he went away,
Bearing one crimson rose.
Beneath the high noontide
met him by the shady garden wall;
Wespoke of many things he clasped my hand
One kiss, and that was ALL
Alas! knew him not,
And yet he wore my rose upon his heartl
But still the perfume of his kiss remains,
Though 1 let Love depart.
The day wanes. Toward the west
lift my eyes-and lol he comes once more.
He comes a victor, for know him now,
And open wide my door.
My rose is now his sword,
My will to conquer and my pride to slay;
But song and sunshine fill my happy heart
For Love has come to stay.

Writing Advertisements.

Writing advertisements has become a
speciality and is one of the fine arts. Ger
tain men in the business who have pecu-
liar aptitude and experience make very
handsome incomes. J. E. Powers, who
was for five years with John Wanamaker,
charges SIS a day for his services and gets
it. Rogers, Peet & Co. supply special

vertisements of that firm himself 1t isn't

A Wonderful Clock.

A new French clock contains novel ap-
plication of the magnet. The clock is
shaped like tambourine, with circle Of
flowers painted on its head. Around the
circle two bees crawl, the larger one re-
quiring twelve hours to complete its cir
cult, while the smaller one makes it every
hour. Different flowers represent the
hours, and the bees, which are of iron, are
moved by two magnets behind the head OF
the tambourine.-St Louis Republic.

special committee, consisting of Mr..
Thomas w. Prosch, and the legislative COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, has
sent the following letter to the members
of the Washington congressional delega-
ton:
Your attention is called respectfully to the
tonnage bill now pending in the House Of Rep
resentatiyes, and your advocacy and support of
that measure, amended in one particular, are
asked, if upon investigation, you find the bill a
good one. An amendment, desired in the inter
est OF your constituency. is lengthening OF
the sailing distance for which subsidy is to be
paid. from seven thousand miles to ten, twelve,
or fifteen. Seven thousand miles is sufficient for
all trades in which our ships are likely to Ell
gage. except that from Atlantic ports to Pacific
and from Pacific ports 10 Atlantic. This now
amounts to about 100000 tons per annum, more
than one-balf this vast quantity representing
exports in wheat and -four alone During the
past for years direct commerce in ships has
been inauglirated between Puget sound and
New York, Philadelphia, and leading
European ports. Regular lines are now en-
ployed and many ships are constantly coming
and going, loaded to their utmost capacity with
railroad iron, cement, fire brick, tin, general
merchandise. lumber wheat, -four, salmon, etc
New channels of trade are opening in the far
south and East, the control of which passes
wholly, and the benefit of which passes almost
wholly into the hands OF foreign ship owners
and merchants. The object OF the bill referred
TO is Mt least to divide the control and to give
our own people greater share of the beneiits.
ship building is prospectiycly one OF the great

in the trade OF Asia, Africa, Australia and
Europe is one of the most dearly cherished am

THE BUSY POSTMEN.
Enormous Increase of Business
at the Local POstoffice.
BIG REVENUE FOR UNCLE SAM
Work, Receipts and Disbursements of
the Office From January 1 to

Postmaster Brookes has compiled a
statement of the business of his office
from January 1, 1890, to November 30, 1880.
inclusive. Tt demonstrates the fact that
Seattle has grown far beyond the capacity
Of the present force of the postofiice. Tho
business transacted is enormous, and the
force under Mr. Brookes is worked from
sixteen to eighteen hours day in order TO
keep the Office from becoming swamped
The business of the year about ending is
considerably more than double that OF
last year, and the Office is earning
an enormous profit for the govern
ment. Its revenue would justify the
employment of force double the size of
the present one The trouble is that the
state of Washington, and Seattle especially,
is growing so rapidly that the postoffice
officials fail to comprehend the matter.
The population Of Seattle today is un-
doubtedly more than 500 greater than on
June / last, and if the census
was to be taken now the city
would show not less than 5000
people. Postmaster Brookes is of the
opinion. based on comparisons of the sta
tisties of his office. that Seattle's popua-
ton will at present exceed that figure. In
the report, under the head of disburse-
ments, are two items, one a payment of
S3,575.05 salaries to railway mail clerks,
and $40 for weighing mails, that do not
properly belong TO this office, and is an ex-
pense that it should not be compelled to

superintendent Pratt Resigns HI
Office.

At the meeting of the board OF public
works Yesterday superintendent Pratt of
the water-works called the attention of the
board 10 his letter of resignation and asked
that it be acted upon. After consultation
the board decided upon motion of Mr..
Hebron to accept it.
aI suppose" said Mr.. Hebron, ''you
will continue to hold office until your sue
cessor has been appointed"
~ shall be ineligible tomorrow, replled
Mr. Pratt, ION account of failure to flie u
bond"
Il move then" said Mr.. Hebron, "that
the secretary be placed in charge tempo
rarily."
At Mr.. Pratt's request a committee con-
sisting of Mr.. Hebron and Secretary
Valid was appointed TO examine his ac-
counts.
The only name mentioned in connection
with the office is that of Mr.. w. I. Chalk,
the resident engineer OF the Union Paclnc.
He is at present in Portland, but Is cx-
pected back IN day or two.
Major Rinehart reported against grant
ing John Leary's petition for preliminary
survey, on the ground that one house had
no power to order expenditure without the
concurrence of the other. Mr.. Hebron
did not agree with him altogether; he
thought it the duty of the board TO furnish
information asked by either house.
Contractor Quigley asked the board TO
accept Stewart street upon his Hing bond
10 complete the work when the council
ordered it done.
The following final estimates were
passed: South Twelfth street, cost, So,
241oS; payments, 81 .26l-99; balance, $40;
915.04. They were referred to the council.
Contractor Williams reported completion
of Depot street bridge and filed claim for
1878. The board asked him what alI-
thority he had. He replied that the work
was added to the Banner street contract
he got his orders from Scurry IL Owens.
Mr.. Hebron said the board needed better
authority before passing the bills and sug-
gested that he procure their authority TO
submit TO the board.
Mr.. Williams replied that Scurry d
Owens were not friendly to him; he had
already lost s., 900 through them.
Mayor White, who was present, was
asked about the matter, but he replied
that his memory on the subject was not
distinct enough to warrant him in attempt
ing to offer an opinion.
1t was resolved TO ask Scurry d Owens
under what authority the orders were
given.
Mr.. Mcdonald. who built the hose cart
recently accepted. complained TO the board
that he had made a cash bid, but was paid
in scrip. The board will investigate. Sew
eral matters of minor interest were consld-
cred but no final action taken.

REVISING THE TAX LAW.
Chamber of Commerce Committee Meets
Tonight-Changes Proposed.

At $50 tonight the Chamber of Com
merce committee which is revising the
tax law will hold another session.
The changes in the law proposed by the
committee are:
The abolition of taxes on mortgages.
Bringing under operation of the statute
of limitations taxes which the county has
not tried to collect for certain number
of years.
Making it necessary to file certificate
of the payment of taxes whenever deed
is recorded.
Having the city and county assessing
done in the same Office.
Having the city and county tan collect
ing done at the same Office.
The committee will also suggest change
in the constitution by which the state can
issue bonds up to a certain per cent. OF the
grand list. This, the committee believes,
will cat the tax rate from mills to 1, and
save the county $4,000 annually. The
committee will take up number of minor
points. All who are interested are invited
TO attend the discussions.
