WASHINGTON FLOWERS

Western Washington is the natural
home of flowers. Even the pansy is
fragrant here and grows to unequalled
size. No part Of the union can show
this flower in greater variety or in
equal richness of color. The rose is in
its glory and will probably be made to
blossom twice year like the roses of
some places on the Mediterranean-in
May and September. The English
violet will, doubtless, Guido itself, in
sweetness, in our cool, moist nights
and well-tempered days.
Some one should experiment with
the chrysanthemum, the finest of late
blooming flowers, to be had in great
variety. Think of some of these
bringing $500 for a single plant, at a
flower show.
The tear of Narcissus, the dafrodil
as it is now called, the jonquil, jap.
onica, and especially the tulip, thrive
here. There is no more healthful on
elevating employment than to make a
garden. Any one may do as
Virgil's old man, by the dark stream
Galesus, who made himself a garden
that "leveled the wealth Of kings tc
his thoughts" A man thus employ
ing his leisure will, perforce, become
a gentle-natured man; any house
keeper will find it a way to forget her
cares.
And II there be one maiden here OF
homely face and bad complexion" who
will initiate her Creator, and plant

be free from nursing infants and
everybody will be much happier.
We love the children and we believe
we are doing them vast amount Of
good when we say their health would
often be better if they were asleep at
home instead Of being awake, and go
ing from warm rooms into the night
air to take cold, and from the exposure
die. And then the parents find fault
with Him who created all things, for
removing the helpless creature, when
the disaster was really the result Of
their own ignorance.
Common sense is about the best
thing people can have and the world
would be much better off if there were
only more of this desirable article.

THE VISITING KNIGHTS

The eight annual session OF the
Grand Lodge, Knights Of Pythias will
be memorable one for many reasons.
Fairhaven, as a representative city of
grand state, has accorded that body
hearty welcome. Her latch string is
out to not only belted knight, but
booted squire as well. They can judge
of her hospitality, her citizens and
herself. The inhabitants of a city are
a pretty good index of the city itself,
and when comparisons are instituted
it is worth only that counts, merit that
wins. 1t is safe TO say that our visit
ors will carry away with them the
most favorable impressions, not be-
cause such has been sought but that
it is our due.
The annual session of great fra
ternal and benevolent institution, such
as the Knights of Pythias, can be pro-
ductive Of nothing but the greatest
good. 1t is representative and DELHI
eratiye. In its ranks are found men
foremost in the various walks and
professions of life. The merchant,
the lawyer, the doctor, the artisan,
meet on the broad grounds Of univer-
sal brotherhood.
Man being by nature an intensely
social animal, Graves the sympathy
and support, the succor and assistance
of his brother. His thoughts are
widened by contact, his mind en-
lightened, and his whole nature up
lifted. As isolation breeds distrust,
so, fraternal gatherings, interchange
of thought and opinion tend to
cement friendship, and bind men more
closely together.
There is a work for each and all of
these fraternal organizations. In
them, though often grossly misunder-
stood, the individual right and libei-
ties Of each is protected and men are
made better and sequently happier.
Anything that has a tendency to
promote the happiness of mankind
should be encouraged and this order is
one OF the factors striving to estab-
lish the universal brotherhood Of man.

OUR ISLAND KINGDOM

The time must be near when the
islands of the lower Sound will take
on new life. All the advertising has
been of the main-land; every tourist
who has written of this region has adj
mired the islands, but none seemed to
have the knowledge that they are
cultivated and inhabited.
These make up a third estate, as it
were. We have the dry and prairie
region in the eastern part of the state;
wet and timbered region in the west
ern part, and in the islands a climate
a little different from any other
These promise to be our choicest fruit
growing districts. In addition to
many kinds to which the conditions
present in the islands are already
known to be most favorable, it is prob
able that some of the islands will be
found to yield excellent grapes. Some
of the lands of Orcas, for instance,
seem to be adapted to this fruit. The
waters surrounding this island, to-
gether with its east and west Sound
absorb the warmth of the sun by day,
which is given off by night, making
the temperature somewhat constant.
The waters having parted with their
warmth during the night are cooling
to the airs which play over their sur
face, and so the grape there grown, in
climate yet moist, must be high fla
vored but not sweet, juicy but not
sour. From this either an excellent
white wine may be made or a fine
champagne. Some of the finest French
champagnes are grown on the wooded
slopes of hills, with native growths Of
trees to protect them, and so it might
be on the islands. Being so far toward
the Suns greatest northern declna-
ton the waters and the earth are so
well warmed up that the season is
well prolonged and grapes may fully
mature, but the damp air and the
equable temperature will prevent the
developing of two much saccharine
matter. And although some grapes
may have been tried there with only
moderete success there are many
kinds, some of which may suit the
island kingdom. 1t behooves the
islanders to find out.

Why Don't He Build the smeltsrsP

juncture point of the coal and iron is

standpoint they cannot well go elsewhere.
His belief is that it is folly to talk of haul

more cheaper He was deeply impressed,

THEY SAY
A Kentucky Plank

Even the Kentucky Democrats are OPP
posed to Cleveland's anti-silver views.
At their state convention last week they
put this plank in their platform: "Recog-
nzng the fact that the United States is
the greatest silver producing country in
the world, and that both gold and silver
were equally money of the constitution
from the beginning of the republic until
the hostile and fraudulent legislation of
which unduly contracted the circulating
medium of the country, and feeling that
the great interest of the people demands
more money for use in the channels of
trade and commerce, we tender our graft
tude to the Democrats Of the last congress
for their almost unanimous vote in both
houses in favor of the free coinage of
silver and demand its restoration TO the
position of equality before the law, given
II by our fathers.

THE SHELTER At SEATTLE

We violate no confidence in saying
to Mr.. Blewett, Mr.. Brooks, and the
other capitalists who are looking for a
site for a smelter, that they will lose
nothing by looking into the advan-

With some personal observation of
smelters, the writer will back this
propinquity against any other. We
have, at our very doors, lead ores, dry
ores, coal, charcoal, lime, and every
necessary thing to make the business
successful.

the children at home, where they will
be much better of and happier.

EPISCOPALLANS, PYTHAGOhEANS
BOSTONIANS AND BEANS

Was it not mild improperly for
the ladies of the Episcopal church to
serve beans at their luncheon?
1t was st. Ernulphus, one of the
leading Episcopalians of his day, who
thought out and set in order that re-
nowned, compound, polyglot curse
which bears his name; and he first did
it for the inconvenience of the bean of
Shawmut, cursing it in its birth,
growth, death and in all its ways and
times. Now, the Congregational or
Orthodox church, as it is called in
New England, is the hereditary enemy
of the Episcopal church, and to it the
bean is particularly dear; in fact, is
one Of the tenets of its faith, just as
in secular life it is a certificate of
good political principles and current
evidence Of good character-especially
in Boston or Shawmut. When the
| founder of the Orthodox church began
his work he took the bean and blessed
it, saying, "ThOu art Peter; and upon
this rock will i build my church"
None can deny the soundness of that
judgment which dictated this selec-
ton. 1t is difficult to say how much
this hardy lentil has done for civiliza-
ton; it has impaired its hardness to
the native of New England; likewise a

book used by our English cousins,

regret to omit allusion to the fact
that the BOstonian's cult Of the fdbd, as
he calls it in his temples, and thinks
Of it in his heart of hearts, grows out
of the doctrine of Pythagoras-whC

received in the best society-that the
