SLEEPING APART.
A Great Mistake Made By
Married People.
How THEY GROW ALIKE.
The Interchange of Individual Elec-
tricities and the Absorption
of ExhalatiOns.

Married people sustaining the Mono
gamic relation especially, make a great
mistake in allowing themselves to sleep
together. The practice, in a measure,
leads to uncongenality. From five to eight
hours bodily contact every twenty-four
with one person, not only causes an equal
ization of those magnetic elements which,
when diversed in quantity and quality,
produce physical attraction and passional
love. but it promotes permanent uncon-
genality by making the married pair grow
alike physically. The interchange of indi-
vidual electricities and the absorption of
each others exhalation leads direct to
tempermental inadaptation, and to this
cause may doubtless be ascribed one of the
chief reasons why a husband and wife
manifest such tendency TO grow alike
after many years of matrimonial compan-
ionship. There is nothing that will so
derange the nervous system of a person
who is eliminative in nervous force as to
lie in bed all night with another person
who is absorbent in nervous force The
world is overrun with afflicted people from
the effects of nervous exhaustion and
physical decay. To such DR.. Darrin invites
them to try his electromagnetic treatment,
so successfully applied to thousands of
our citizens, who have languished in the
throes of disease and now enjoy the bless
ings of health and happiness.

PROPOSED PLUMBING INSPECTOR.

SEATTLE, Aug. Q, 1891
To THE EDITOR: In your issue of the 9Th
inst. notice a scheme on the part Of the board
of health to impose . fee on parties building
houses, etc, for the inspection of plumbing.
Now, / claim this is an outrage and to put 1t in
plain terms nothing more than a system OF
biackmail. II the public derived any benefit
from these oficiels Ii would be q different mat

for nothing more than to find positions for po-

not for their ability to fill the Office, but for
their political pull-and then boast of 1t. have

1t is to be hoped that the city will taboo this

offices. Rather let them abolish some now in

Mr.. Benezette Williams continually
makes the mistake of confoundlng the
duties of the engineer with the city coun-

devise methods of sewerage and it is none

from direct tax upon property benefited.
Mr.. Williams got himself into trouble in

she 10 today, state within hierarchy,
who would deliver its vote to the party
that offered the highest bid in shape Of
legislative perpetuation or enlargement of
its present rule. The transplanting of this
Canadian thistle of endless controversy to
the United States would only furnish our
statesmen with another hard nut to crack;
nut so hard that we might break our ma
tional jaw trying to crush 1t.
Canada, we repeat, is in bad way, with
small prospect of getting a government
that will make her inhabitants q very
prosperous and happy people. With q
vast territory, sparse population, which
is likely to decrease rather than increase
in the future; with vast debt in proper
ton to her population and resources; with
bitter quarrel of race and religion on her
hands; with an expensive, cumbersome
government, corrupt in its civil service
and political methods of administration;
with people who are not practical or
pure enough 70 reform their government
to the end of commercial success and pros
porous growth, and who are too pig
headed or sentimental to consent to an
nexation, what reasonable hope or expec-
tation of improvement does the future
contain for Canada? None whateverl
All talk about her capacity to be-
come great and Independent nation like
the United States is the dream of political
delirium. She has vast territory, but
much of it is too far north for rapid settle
ment or development. Beyond the lati-
tude of British Columbia on the Pacific
coast; the valley of the Saskatchewan and
the fertile portion of the old Hudson bay
territory as far north as Port Nelson,
Canada cannot expect ever to be peopled,
and, with the exception Of British Column
bia, there is no portion of this territory
that is likely to rapidly be filled up for a
great many years to come. The Canadian
immigration to the United States is more
likely to increase than decrease; the trade
and commercial outlook for Canada il not
promising. Her best market lies in
q country with a hostile tariff,
and neither in population or general
wealth and prosperity has Canada much
to hope for. She will never develop into
great independent nation unless her
people increase not only greatly in num-
Der, but in capacity for free constitutional
government, vigorously and uprlghtly adj
ministered. There is small prospect of
any improvement; matters are likely to be
very much worse with her before they are
better. Repulsing annexation to the
United States, unequal to independence of
Great Britain, Canada Is more likely to
step backward than to go forward, and be-
come deteriorated and debt-paralyzed
country. She does not like the United
States; the United States views her with
compassion blended with good natured
contempt; while England, despite the
maudlin loyalty of Canada's language,
treats her as cold and austere father does
homely girl that nobody wants to marry
and can't support herself.

THE AMrkrCAy BOG ABROAD.

Uncle Jerry RUsK is in a pardonable
state of exutatjou because the German
authorities have opened the gate which
has so long been closed against the
American hog. But his exuitation does
not prevent mis- being Just to a political
opuonent. Gen. RUsK on Saturday
wrote to the Hon. w. HATCH, Demo-
cratic Representative from Missouri,
that the thanks of the farmers of the
country are due to Mr.. HATCH for his
efforts in their behalf, and especially
because of his advocacy before the
House Of Representatives Of the Meat
Inspection bill, without which the re-
moval of the German prohibition could
not have been obtained.
The credit for whatever value there
Is in the removal is, therefore, shared by
both parties. But it is possible that the
value is overestimated. Though the
prohibition has been removed, the duty
levied by the German Government
has not, and il is severe-90 marks per
hundred kilos on meat and 10 marks per
hundred kilos on lard, or about two
cents a pound on meat and one cent
pound on lard. Adding this duty to in
land and ocean freights and other
charges and profits, it would appear
that American pork must be rather dear
eating in Germany. This is the tariff as
Il stood in 1887, and it is presumed TO be
still in force. If the German govern
ment really desires to furnish cheap and
wholesome American food to its people
who are threatened with hunger by the
failure of the European crops, then il
should let down the tariff bars severa
pegs.

WEST VIRGINIA AND THE WORLDS
FAIR

The West Virginia end of the Worlds
Fair is of more than ordinary impors
lance, as may be seen from the company
in which she is placed in the general
plan of the site at Chicago, a section of
which we reproduce THIS morning.
West Virginia is punched with the most
important States of the Union. The
West Virginia Commission, which held
another meeting in the city yesterday,
Is doing all in its power to make West
Virginia's exhibit worthy of the impor-
tant place which the energy Of our rep
resentatives has secured for 1t. West
Virginia can furnish an exhibit which
will be among the finest and most in
teresting Of the lot, if we but half try.
The Worlds Fair will present an op-
portunity to West Virginia to advertise
her great natural wealth and advant-
ages, which it is doubtful that she will
ever enjoy again till another Worlds
Fair is due. In no other way could
she place her riches so prominently
before the whole world for the same
amount of money. Other States will
do their best and we must not be be-
hind.
II the people will join hands with the
Commissioners in the work of making
West Virginia's exhibit the finest we car
put into the space allotted, it will bt
fully worthy of the prominent position
it will occupy among the State exhibits
The meeting yesterday was called t
consider, more especially, the details in
connection with the construction of the
West Virginia building. A picture o
the proposed building will be found
elsewhere. 1t will be handsome one
and the people of West Virginia shoulC
take pride in making it and its content
as representative of the inexhaustibl
wealth Dame Nature has bestowed OIL
us, and as interesting to the world
which will visit it in 1898, as possible
