He DIDN'T Recognize the Poem.

New Editor Ito Old Schoolmate)-It hurts
me, old fellow, to wound your feelings, but
really we are so Overstocked with poetry that
it is useless to read yours. We can only ac
cept what shows unmistakable genius.
Old Schoolmate-Well,j just read that poem,
and tell me what you think of it. 1t may
prove better than you imagine.
New Editor (having read the poem)-It is
as feared, the poem shows no promise what
ever. Pardon me, but it is simply absurd.

verses you wrote in my autograph album,

PASSING.
Throueh ths dsrk valley thou wilt nns. .,

Through tbs dark valley thou wilt pass to
night:
To the drear labyrinth of troubled years.
The trEitisss signs, the unavailing tears,
AT las' tbs end grows slowly into sight.
Death doth but wait for days retreating light.
For that tranced hour when ewes first beacon
peers,
And vespers gently fall on iaded ears,
To give thy soul the signal for its flight.
Then. with brow unclouded as of old,
A heart no longer scathed by Sorrows scars,
Out of Life's mists and Vapors manifold,
Into that CLINE no shadow ever mars
Thou Wilt emerge, and rapt communion hold
With the beloved, long gathered to the stars.

Chino beet sugarie. The license is
an deliberately engraved affair and

June 80, 1892.
Though called a license, it is more

tory named is entitled to the benefit

is the first to receive a certificate.

ORA WING JURIES.

The drawing of juries is an important
business that needs the vigilant scrutiny
of an honest judiciary, which, however,
is something it has not always received.
There are many things going on in this
world which cannot have demonstrative
proof applied to them, but their existence
is so obvious that proof is needless. We
cannot, for instance, always prove that
our jury-boxes are tempered with, but
we know that they are because of the re-
suits they give out. When purpose and
design are clearly observable in the ac-
complished work, we know that there
must have been master mind at work
at some stage OF the operation. When
we see number of men brough together
on a grand Jury whose connections, in
terests or sympathies lead them all, or
nearly all, in one direction, we know
that something more than an accident
has occurred, and that a dark designer
has had his hand in somewhere. For
long years something more than sus-
picion has attached to the drawing of
both grand and trial juries. Ii it were
known that men with money or a politi-
cal pull we're likely to be accused before
grand jury it has been pretty safe &c
bet that somehow or other a jury would
at the right time be found adapted to then
case exactly. The business has been ar
open secret for years around the courts
| If Judge Wallace's new departure, fol
which he de erves the thanks of al
honest men, is to be maintained as the
settled practice of himself and col
leagues, the greatest judicial reform has
| been entered upon that this city has
witnessed in many years. Men will
breathe freer when they have confidence
in the integrity of the jury-box. Wher
we witness grand jury with the cour
age to do right regardless of influences
pulls and such things, we shall know
that the Judges in the first instance pu
honest names in the box, and that they
subsequently took care to see that they
came out again. At present the marve
is as to how certain names that come GU
ever got in. Each one of the twelve
Judges supplies his quota to the box. L
would be interesting to know which ant
how many OF the Judges are responsible
for putting in the names of disable men
That class of jurors is always ready t.
serve, whilst honest business men ar,
generally anxious to be excused. Thu
it comes that the unfittest survive
Judge Wallace should follow up his goot
work by refusing to excuse desirable
jurors, and by giving undesirable one
eager to serve a hint that they are no
wanted. No man could do that NOR
delicately than Judge Wallace. H
would find more virtue in the suggestion
than perhaps he imagines.-S. F. New
Letter.

The Ohio Republican Conven-
ton for the nomination for Cover
nor and State officers was recently
held at Columbus. Immediately
after the organization of the conven-
ton, Major Mckinley, the author
of the tariff bill, was nominated on
the first ballot, and amid the Wild
est enthusiasm, which seemed to
carry everything before it, backed
by strong belief that the nomina-
ton will be followed by a most
decisive victory. The speech which
he made on accepting the nomina-
ton was a clear exposition of the
principles of protection to national
industry, with bold determination
to nail the flag to the mast, and to
stand by it till the victory is won.
Of the twelve resolutions adopted
all relate to national issues, except
one, which refers to state matters

abouts of the slice, in return for
the surrender of the narrow strip,
from the Sc deg. north latitude
to a point of intersection with the
al deg. west longitude.
But this is exactly the strip of
coast thirty miles wide from Mt.
St. Elias to the Simpson, with the
numerous islands just off the coast,
and it includes Sitka itself and the
Stickeen river the only portions of
Alaska hitherto of any mercantile
value. So 1t is scarcely likely that
the United States will part with
this piece of coast for any slice the
Canadian or Imperial Government
are likely to offer.
The British Columbian Premier
wishes the dominion, through the
Imperial Government, to invite the
United States to join in an inter-
national commission, and mean
while a Canadian survey party is
to take "preliminary look over "
the ground this season.
To trace a meridian of longitude
from seventy to sixty degrees north
is no easy undertaking, and the
drawing of line thirty miles in
land from difficult coast is little
easier.
Some modus vivendi must be
agreed on by which both parties
shall agree that no new permanent
post or fort or settlement shall be
established within a certain dis
lance of the supposed boundary
without fixing It's geographical
situation to the satisfaction of botf
governments.

The Chicago Times seems to
have touched high-water mark in
the field of expansive journalism by
the issue of an edition of 124 pages,
the colossal aggregation requiring
a stout rubber band to hold the
sheets of each number together.
The special reason for this eff1or-
escence of enterprise in the tagging
season was the publication of the
delinquent tax list-althou, ID to
speak of it as q list would lie an
excess of modesty. 1t should be
called a tome.

THE BOUNDARY OF ALASKA.

Wherever the boundary line of
two contiguous countries is an ar
bltrary, artificial or imaginary line,
such as a parallel of latitude or,
still worse, meridian of longitude,
or line supposed to be drawn at
a certain distance from such an
other line or spot, there is sure to
be difficulty in determining that
boundary to the common satisfac-
ton of both parties concerned.
Perhaps the worst boundary ever
devised by man is that agreed upon
as the boundary between British
and Russian America. This line,
starting from the shores of the Arc
tic Ocean. runs due south, on the
141st meridian of west longitude
till it strikes Mount St. Elias, near
the Behring Sea, and thence fol-
lows, at thirty miles distance, all
the bends and sinuosities of a pc
culiarly irregular coast line until it
strikes the Simpson river, where it
flows into the Pacific Ocean 400
miles from the mountain.
When Russian America was pur-
chased by the United States, the
boundary remained unchanged, 80
the above description is now that
of the line between Canada and
Alaska.
Such a theoretic boundary, never
ascertained, running in a straight
line through 800 miles of unex-
Plored arctic country, and then
through 400 miles more of scarcely
less arctic, and scarcely better
known mountainous coast, cannot
be surveyed without an enormous
expenditure OF honey, time, and
probably of life.
Between the 141st meridian and
the mouths of the Mackenzie, on
the 13Oth meridian, and scattered
about the space further up the
country, between the Mackenzie
and the boundary, are sundry old
established Hudson Bay Posts,
which are visited every year by
the company's servants, who pro-
vision the posts for the winter
hunting and take away the furs
collected. 1t is important, there
fore, that it should be known on
whose territory these posts or forts
stand, and to whom the hunting
grounds belong.
The Premier of British Columbia
is urging the Canadian Government
to negotiate the settlement of the
boundary without delay. The cost
of the survey is estimated at
$1,500,000. Even then he says
it will be impossible to fix the
boundary following the seacoast at
an actual distance of thirty miles "
from it. He proposes a compro-
mise under which the United
States is to take q slice of Cana
diap territory, indicates the where

0Pe0 ESpEARE.

Fischer's wrought steel ranges
and have had to lose sales be-
cause they were delayed in
reaching us. We're all right
nova warehouse full of them
and every size you ask for.
These ranges merit more
than passing notice, and we
are going to tell you some
thing about them you never
knew before. Housewives
don't like to get new stoves
because therc g a something
about them that's unpleasant.
A sort of dread that the dam
pers won't work, or the stove
will not draw, crops out, and
the good wife prefers to suffer
1.-The ills that are rather than
fly to those they know not OF. .
The term range suggests
bricks and mortar, and a
weeks fuss and dirt in placing
in position. Not so with the
Fischer-there's no bricking
up to do. All there is to it is
to place it where you want and
connect the pipe. Your range
is ready to receive the meats
and in less than the time it
usually takes to cook things,
your food is on the table, more
palatable than it has ever been
before.
You wonder why the Fischer
range should be better than
any other stove! Well tell
you. In this country the mat
ter of fuel is a very large
item of expense. AS you
have turned over a new leaf
and intend economizing where
you never thought of before,
you may begin on your coal
and wood. 1t is a positive fact
that the Fischer range uses
only about one-half the guam
tity of fuel any other stove
does. That's one point.
Every one who uses the or
binary stoves knows that once
in so often the fire bricks burn
, out or break. The fire bricks
:; in the Fischer range are made
] ] of steel, and you couldn't break
! them if you'd let the wheels Of
4 a loaded dray run over them
That's another good point.
The ovens, as with every
other part, are constructed Of
wrought steel, and it is an
acknowledged fact that this
material will absorb the heat
), quicker, more evenly, more in.
i tensely and retain it much
), longer than one made of cast
iron. The heat is more moist
consequently the food, when
prepared, is not so dry and
void of nutrition, besides be.
ing more palatable. Two OF
! three good points in one.
!, The walls of the Fischer
range are double with asbestos
between the two sheets Of
steel, thus making them more
durable, and prevents the rad
iation of too much heat into
> the kitchen, as does the cast
n stove or range. 1t also pro
tects the lining from being
torn out when cleaning the
hues. The joints of the oven
!, are riveted closely, thus, pre-
: venting ashes, dust, SCOT OF
: coal gas coming in contact
with the food and making il
worthless. Now then ! These
are few of the good points
