GOOD ADVICE.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the well-known
poetess. recently won prize for the best
answer to the question, "What shall we do
with our sirls?" The answer is a gem in its
way and one every mother should commit
to memory. Though the answer covers con-
siderable ground, the gist of it lies in the
following:
The foundation OF society rests on Its homes
The success Of our homes rests on the wives
Therefore, first OF all, teach girls how to be
successful wives. Begin in their infancy to de-
YeloB their characters. Teach them that ieal-
ousy is an Immortality and gossip vice. Train
them TO keep the smallest promise as sacredly as
an oath, and 10 speak OF people only as they
would speak 10 them. Teach them TO look for
the best quality in every one they meet, aud to
notice other peoples faults only to avoid them.
If it is objected to this advice that it is
directed to the development of good wives
and does not therefore, provide for the
giIls that may not become wives, the
answer may be made that there would be
fewer single girls if all were thus taught in
childhood. But il it is urged that there are
comparatively few men who are really
worthy of such wives as described, the
answer is that it is true, and pity tits tits

THE PANAMA CANAL REPORT.

The report of the special committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the present condi-
ton Of the Panama Canal estimates the
cost of completion at 900, 600 900 francs. The
estimate as to receipts is that for the first
fouF years not more than 100000 francs
would be averaged, but in the fifth year
the income would rise to 10000 600 and
thereafter remain at 81, 10000 francs. The
cost OF operating the canal would be about
100000 francs year. If this report
could be rallied on as correct, there would
be no trouble abont getting the 900, 000, 900
francs required to finish the canal With
an annual revenue Of $40. 900, 900 after OPP
Grating expenses are paid, interest could be
paid on larger sum than is required to
finish the canal. Allowing that 500, 00o, 600
would finish the canal, the interest account
at per cent year would be $1,000, 600
year. While no private company could
borrow at per cent, bonds guaranteed by
either France, England or the United
States bearing that rata of interest would
be eagerly sought for. the trouble in tho
way of the canal is the former estimates.
De Lesseps was so wild in his coniectures
as TO the probable cost of the canal that
capitalists are shy Of an enterprise in which
so much money has been wasted. The
canal might be finished as national enter
prise. In that case, il $500. 100000 were not
enough, $500, 900 would be forthcoming.
But the United States would not consent
to the completion of the canal by the
French Government and the construction

A CATTLE PARADE.

The Fresno Budget thinks it too bad that
the Examiner could not get the Fresno
band-boys TO turn out at the head Of the
Examiners cattle parade. The objections
of the Fresno band-boys to marching by the
side of short-horns, long-horns and fillies
were not overcome by the promise Of the
Examiner agent to "write the band up in
the page of that journal devoted to self
Advertising" The Budget thus concludes
a facetious article which will not probably
be copied by the Examiner:
Is not $500 Electoneer filly as high in the
social scale as cornet-blower, and should the
man who plays the cymbas be too proud 10 walk
with $1,000 Aberdeen bull? Then there's that
$500 Jersey caf-if drummer is too stuck-up
TO march with such magnificent animal he's too
good to go TO heaven. IL is, indeed, to be re-
GREETED that our band-boys were not humane
enough TO make il pleasant for the Examiner
flles, lOng-horns and short-horns by gratifying
their love for music.

INSPECTING FIXTURES.
The Supervisors Favor Quarterly
Examinations.

At meeting of the Supervisors Gas
light Committee yesterday afternoon, FL
lert's order providing for monthly inspec-
ton of gas fixtures in hotels and lodging
houses was taken up for action. Consider
able time was devoted to discussion of
the construction of the various gas keys
used by gas-ftters. The inferiority of the
gas keys used, Supervisor Ellert asserted,
was the principal cause of death by asphyx-
iation. The passage of the order would
compel hotel and lodging house keepers to
keep their fixtures in good repair and the
public would thus be benefited. He re-
garded the order as public necessity.
The clause of the order compelling hotel
and clearinghouse keepers to do the inspec-
ton at their own expense Supervisor Pill
ster thought would work great pecuniary
hardship upon the poorer ones
Supervisor Kingwell considered a quar-
terly inspection sufficient for every purpose.
but Supervisor Wheelan believed that the
inspection to do any good should be made
weekly as many hotelmen were extremely
careless, as the recent APPROPRIATIONS demon
strated.
The quarterly inspection was approved
by Supervisor Bush, who regarded that as
care enough.
After some further discussion the COM
mittee decided to report in favor of the
passage of the order amended so as to APP
ply. only to hotels and lodging houses hay
ing more than ten sleeping-rooms and pro-
Ylding for quarterly inspections.

LOOSE TIES.

There is too much talk of dismember-
ment in Canada to be the result of local
dissatisfaction. Now it is one province
and now another that proposes to set up as
an Independent State or come squarely over
to the United States. The latest report is
that the province of Quebec has under con-
sideration the alternative of becoming a
French colony or State in the American
Union. Quebec is French in feeling, ana
has for long time been impatient of its
English sends. When any Canadian prov
inee separates itself from the Dominion
Government it only becomes question of a
short time when it gravitates to the Union.
Trade relations would bring about annexa-
ton to the United States even if there
were no sentiment prompting such course.
When no public odium attaches to dis
union talk the conclusion is warranted that
the ways and means is the only real Ques-
ton to be discussed.
