plain that Luby had an off day. and the wny

New England churches; Mary Fisher and Anne
Austin taught publicly the doctrines of Friends,
Barbara Heck was called "the real founder Of
American Methodism,' as the English sect had
been largely established by Susanna Wesley and
the Countess of Huntington. Oberlin college
sent out, some forty years ago, its first woman
graduate In theology, but has only just printed
her name such for the first time In its triennial
catalogue; and her ordination in 1853 was the
first bestowed on any American OF her sex. There
seem as yet to be no trustworthy statistics as
to the whole number of women ministers in
this country, The Society of Friends has about
$50 the Unircrsalise Register for 1889 contains the
names of IS, the Congregational Yeav Book S, and
the Unitarian Theological school at Meadville
has had 16 women as pupils The Disciples Of
Christ have Is women preachers. The Free-will
Baptists, the Primitive Methodists and the Pro-
testant Methodists have also ordained women on
q small scale, and the institution of deaconesses
is being revived among the larger denomina-
tions. To illustrate how the clerical functions
of woman may be regarded in her own family,
the Rev. Ada C. Bowles gives the following dia-
logue, perhaps from her own nursery. The little
daughter having announced her intention OF
"helping mamma preach" whenever she should
be old enough, her younger brother stoutly de-
clared that he would do the same. On this the
sister, looking at him with some doubt and mis-
giving. yet finally assented in these terms, Yes,
mans do preach sometimes"

A WORTHY EFFORT.

Mr.. Chas. T. Conover, the well known
broker, has undertaken to organize here q
society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals and to that end invites meeting
of citizens at the Chamber Of Commerce
next Tuesday evening. The meeting will
be an open one and all who are interested
in the humane effort are requested to at
tend.
There could not, certainly, be more
worthy effort than this which proposes to
lift from thousands of dumb creatures q
burden which the carelessness or the
cruelty of man now puts upon them.
There is special need in Seattle for such .
society as Mr.. Conover proposes. Our
local conditions make the city hard place
for animals, especially for horses, and in
stances of cruelty come daily under the
observation of everybody who goes much
about the streets. 1t is believed that an
organization of humane sentiment will do
much to cure this evil. 1t is at least worth
trying. There should be . large attend
ancc at Tuesdays meeting.

Admiration for Our Big Fir Stumps.
Port Townsond loader


rather good story on Mrs F. II. Prince, wife
Of the Boston director of the Oregon Improve
ment Company, comes from Anacortes. MT.
Prince is son of ex-Mayor Prince, one of the
beSt-known public men in the Bay state, and
her first trip West.
When the ladies were in Anacortes on Tues
day they spent great deal of their time stroll
ing around on the vacant lots, armed with 'ko-
daks," while the gentlemen were talking rail
road with the town lot boomers. Mrs. Prince
was quite enthusiastic over the scenery in and
about the city, and gave frequent expression to
her wonder and admiration. She was especially
impressed with the big fir stumps. These trees
had been perhaps couple of hundred years at
tanning the growth which left them the OBJ
served among all that mighty forest, only to be
cut off in their career by the ak Of some unap
preciative woodsman.
"What large stumps those are?" said Mrs
Prince. "And what magnificent trees must
have grown on them! It is too bad they were
cut down. really wish they had been left to
grow, they were surely SO handsome. At any
rate they should have left . few of them grow.
ing in each lot, they would have looked SO
nice" And Mrs. Prince heaved q sigh as she
thought OF the magnificent monarchs that had
been SO ruthlessly cut down, while all the other
ladies seemed to feel as bad as she did over the
unfortunate state of affairs. After . few min.
utes' pause, she looked at one of the stumps for
few seconds, and her face suddenly frightened
up as she turned to the ladies and said: sob,
well; they will grow up again in short time. -
Then they all looked relieved as they went their
way.

Of the fact7 If he does know it, Why does
he, and why do others similarly situated,

On his own statement il is clear case
that every dollar obtained for that farm
would be clear gain to him, whatever it
might be to the party Of the second part in
the trade. But no doubt he can obtain
something, at least for the Improvements.
That and the 81 900 which his stock and
tools are worth would bring him to WASH
ington and give him start, which is all
he needs. What he has been paying an
nually to fertilize his WORKOUT soil will
support him in comfort, and here from
virgin soil he can produce twice, thrice or
quadruple the crop, and obtain twice,
thrice or quadruple the price for it, pound
for pound or bushel for bushel.
And instead of having to house and feed
his stock for six or seven months of the
year, he will not have to do 50 for as
many weeks. Here he will have as good
green feed for them in January, of spon-
taneous growth, as there by cultivation in
May. And he will not have to work seven
days in the week, nor sixteen hours day.

WHY NOT COME WEST.

A New England farmer with head for
facts and figures has been keeping for six
years . strict account of receipts and ex-
penditures-down to a penny--on his little
farm, and in letter to the Manchester,
y. H., Mirror and Farmer gives the re-
suits. which that paper publishes. The
showing is as follows: In 1885 his ex-
penses exceeded his receipts in the sum of
S5i.37. In 1856 he had profits to the amount
OF Stills. In 1857 he gained $3.50. In
isSs gained SS4a4. In 1889 lost $500 In
1890. by selling COW for $ls5. his receipts
overran expenditures by s2o3.64.
Thus, exclusive Of the sale of COWS, his
profits for the six years amounted to
S19l.6S. Taking no account of the value of
his farm-if it can be said to have any
value in view of these results-the above
sum represents the interest for six years
on 81, 900 invested in live stock and tools.

How Evolution Has Worked in Spain.
Emilio CASTELAR,, in North American Review

for April
In some parts evolution has succeeded reyolu.
ton with manifest advantages, AZ in Spain.
While we had an intolcrant and exclusive
church, which permitted alongside of it no other
manifestation of religious worship; semi-abso-
lutte monarchy surrounded, unluckily for us, by
crafty bureaucrats persuading themselves that
they were an Asiatic caste; an iniQuity and in
fanny like the piratical slave trade, BIAS
phemously pronounced crime indispensable to
the existence OF our country; an institution as
pernicious and aecursed as slavery which en-
shaved us also, and fettered us to tyranny, can.
not deny the inevitable necessity OF rcsorting in
the last extremity to powder, and even dyna-
mite, against similar cyciopean abuses of priv.
lege. Our political cycle was later than the
French political cycle. We did not enter
the period of evolution until the year
in which we saw that all our republican
conquests had been lost through revolutionary
excuses, the year 1873. Thus we may clearly
put it: 1t began with the restoration of Alfonso
MI. policy based on a slow and gradual eyo-
luton, policy of progress and measured
method. due TO my personal initiative, seconded
and maintained by small number OF co-relig-
ionists, who made up for the smallness of
their number by the abundance OF their ripe
ideas and OF their civic virtues. Strong in our
profound conviction, by the wise and prudent
system OF evolution We rc-established religious
freedom, freedom of scientific discussion free
dom OF the press. freedom of meeting, freedom
OF association. civil marriage trial by jury, uni.
yersal suffrage, self government OF the nation,
with two houses, all the democratic principfcs.
without shedding drop OF blood in our con.
quest of Spain. After such results, the vain en-
emies of so salutary an evolution may cry out
against rs as much as they please. We will
show them the triumph of democratic princi-
pies, and in truth we have not changed the

RAIN AND THE CENSUS.
Distribution OF Population in Accord
ance With Mean Relative Humidity.


ance with Mean Relative Humidity.
From Census Bulletin.
The atmosphere along the Atlantic, Gulf and
Lake coasts and the entire Pacific coast is heav-
lily charged with moisture. It IL especially so
upon the coast of Oregon and Washington,
where the atmosphere is more highly charged
with moisture than elsewhere within our terri
tory. The high mountain regions of the Appa-
lachiAn and to considerable extent those of the
Rocky mountain ranges also have moist atmos-
phere. The moisture Is less in the Piedmont
region east OF the Appalachians and In
the upper Mississippi valley. Passing across the
prairies and the great plains, the amount OF
moisture in the atmosphere diminishes still
more, while the minimum is reached in the
Great Basin, in Utah, Nevada, Southern Arizona,
and Southeastern California. In general way,
the amount Of moisture in the atmosphere in
creases and decreases with the rainfall, but this
Is not always the case. The upper lake region,
with an atmosphere as moist as that of Washing
ton City, has q much smaller rainfall. The
coast of Southern California, with deficient
rainfall, has as moist an atmosphere as the At
lantic coast.
In the following table showing this distribu-
ton the population is given to the nearest thou
sands, as the results aimed at are merely general
relations. The first column defines the groups,
