INVEST Now.-The fact that the
Southern Pacific company have
decided to extend their road to
Astoria, making it the terminus of
another transcontinental line, is
one of the many evidences that
that place is sure to become city

ber of real estate transfers made
every day, not only in business
property but suburban lots.
Hairless & Davisson are offering
great inducements to those who
invest their money now in either

will be greatly enhanced in value
within the next few months. This

THE CHILD's LIFE OF CHRIST.
introduced by Rev. J. L. Hurlbut, D. d

introduced by Rev. j. L. Hurlbut, D. ID.
The writer of successful Juvenile books
can command almost his own price-in fact,
such is the demand for this class of litefa
ture that many of the leading writers of
the present day are devoting their talents
exclusively in this direction. Everywhere
people, authors and publishers alike, are
beginning to realize the fact that it is of the
utmost importance that good, wholesome
books should be placed in the hands of the
young, and to-day hundreds of thousands
of copies of books of this kind are sold
yearly. Recognizing this fact the great
London publishing house of Cassen Com
pany, one of the largest concerns of the
coyers over an acre of ground, haye been
for months engaged in the preparation of
"Life of Christ" which should be especially
adapted for the.young. That they have sue
ceeded in producing work of rare beauty
and practical value in the household will be
seen at glance. Eminent writers have
been engaged to prepare the letter press, a,
large force of the ablest artists have sub
mitted designs for the illustrations and for
the covers of the book. and out of all these
the publishers haye selected in the neigh.
borhood of 300 as in their judgment worthy
of q place in the work. The book contains
700 pages, the print is exceptionally large
and clear-as it should be-the paper finely
calendered, and the binding elegant and ap-
propriate, English silk cloth with gold and
antique side stamp. A beautiful feature
being representation stamped in gold on
the side of the book of the Savior blessing
little child by the roadside. 1t is impos.
| sible to estimate the real value of book
like this to every God.fearing man, woman
or child. We seem to be actually present
and viewing with our own eyes the wonder
| full panorama of the Bible and Bible lands,
also all the remarkable events connected
Herewith. All classes of people, and es-
pecially the young, will read this book with
as much enthusiasm as they would the most
| thrilling story of adventure, and in doing
SO they will unconsciously acquire a
thorough knowledge of the Bible. In this
way thousands of young people will be in.
| duced to become Biblo readers who would
| otherwise never look within the sacred
pages.
We predict for this work the same phe-
nominal sale in this country that it is being
accorded in England. 1t is not only book
which will in our judgment sell readily, but
| one which deserves to sell-the engravings
alone, constituting as they do complete
Biblical art gallery, are worth the price of
| the book, and it ought to be in the hands of
the children in every home in this country.

fishing house of 723 Market Street. San

Glass Telephones.

Jerome Prince of Milford has lately
been gra nted patent on a new tele-
phone of his own invention, saws the
Boston Herald. His invention con-
sists in the transmission of sound by
the vibration of glass, and his atten-
ton was directed to the subject in a
peculiar way. While waiting in Boston
one day he chanced to wander into one
of the dime museums, and as he
entered he noticed a young girl play
ing tune on tumblers, each tumbler
being partly filled with water. Mr..
Prince instantly thought if the vibra-
ton of glass can be made to give forth
such varied and musical sounds by the
manipulations before him, why can not
this vibration of glass be brought to
some practical utility, and with these
thoughts and expectations he set to
work. The new telephone consists of
a diaphragm or transmitter of simple
glass resting on a number of glass
rods, and these communicating with an
ordinary wire. The line in operation
at Milford extends from grocery on
Main street to the residence of one of
the proprietors, distance perhaps of
some thirty rods passing some five or
six angles before reaching its destina-
ton. Over this wire the ticking of a
watch can be distinctly heard and a
whispered conversation carried on with
no difficulty whatever. The distance
that sound can be transmitted with the
new telephone varies according to the
thickness of the glass transmitter. The
one in consideration allows whispered
conversation three miles, and by using
a thicker glass a much lOnUer distance
1t makes no difference how many
angles the wire takes in reaching its
destination, the sound is transmitted
just as readily. Another popularity of
the invention is the increased intensity
of the sound that is transmitted. Each
vibration seems to gather strength and
force from the vibrations behind it,
and when the sound reaches the ear OF
the auditor it is wonderfully clear and
distinct. The transmission of these
sounds without the aid of electricity
would seem to be dependent upon
princip les not hitherto well understood.

WHEN the W. c. T. U. was organized ii was
for a certain definite object-the building up of
the whole nation in temperance and Christianity.
Its organization followed the tervent power of
the crusade, in which all sectaran lines and po-
litical divisions were forgotten, and diverse
creeds fused into one, whose tenets were only
love, devotion, labor Individually the mem
bers of the Union were Presbyterians Metho-
dists, Baptists, and so on; ; and individually they
were Republicans Democrats and Prohibition
lists. But as an organization, they knew neither
sectariaan or party lines.
Until 1884, when at the ST. Louis convention
the magnificent and irresistible National W. c.
T. U. became an annex to political party! 1t
is not that it allied itself to the particular party
it chose, but that it bound itself to ANY party.
That noble organization, made up of the flower
of American womanhood, and founded on the
rock of Gods own power, to forsake its high
place and settle upon the shifting sands of party
politics Alas! what divisions, what heart
burnings, what struggles have followed that fatal
step!
Let US not be misunderstood. We do not
deny the perfect right of the National President
and every member of the Union to individual
partisanship. 1t is the selling of the organiza-
ton to party to which We cannot submit In
the dissenting faction, as we are called, are
also represented all shades of political belief.
There are among active third party women
at the first; but their partisanship is individ-
ual- AS members of the organization they know
no party lines. They believe the Divinely given
commission of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union to be above all party or sect.

HOnOred.

Old Elder k was one of the ''odd
sticks one often heard of in the Con-
necticut valley half century ago. In
his younger days he preached the
gospel with great vigor and in a man.
ner calculated to strike terror to the
hearts of all evil-doers; but as he grew
older his mental vigor waned with his
physical forces, and it began to be
whispered around that Elder k
wasn't exactly right" which was a
polite and indefinite way of saying that
his mind was going from him. He in
sisted, however, in filling the pulpit he
had so long filled until his friends were
compelled to keep him away by force.
One Sunday morning, when his sue
cessor was about to begin his sermon
Elder k surprised the congregation
by marching down the aisle and up to
the pulpit where he began haranguing
the congregation, regardless of the
rights and presence of his scandalized
successor.
Here was a dilemma. The four
deacons and others of the brethren
hastily consulted together and Elder
k was gently demonstrated with,
but all to no purpose. He fatty re-
fused to leave the pulpit, and kept right
on preaching terrifying sermon.
Finally the four deacons, vigorous
men in spite of their years, walked in
to the pulpit, seized the struggling and
rebellious elder, and started out with
him on their shoulders. When half
way down the aisle, he still further
scandalized the congregation by bawl-
ino out satirically:
How much better, after all, am l
treated than my blessed master, for he
had but one ass on which to ride, while
l have four! Hallelooyern'-Detroit
