The persistent attempt to change the name OF
some prominent object or locality always calls
forth protest, especially when it Is done tor
mere advertising purposes, as is the case in the
effort made by Tacoma and the Northern Pa
cite railroad to appropriate Mount Rainier.
The discoverer Of a mountain, river, cape or
lake, certainly has the right to christen IL. and
this right should be respected unless there be
good reasons for not doing 30, or unless other
rights conflict In the case OF Mount Rainier
the right of Vancouver to name 1t cannot be
questioned at this late date for 1t bore that title
undisputed for ninety years, until real estate
boomers undertook to steal the glory OF the
mountain to brace up the price of corner lots.

The state supreme court yesterday de-
cided the bond case, sustaining the city
in every point 1t will be remembered
that on June LIST the city voted to issue
bonds in the sum of $4,000 to cover an
Indebtedness created after the fire in ex-
cess of the then limit of Indebtedness. On
various grounds three property holders of
the city contested the validity of these
bonds, and this decision disposes of their
objections. The bonds can now be issued.

Gov. Pennoyer, of Oregon, is getting
good many hard ticks for declining to act
upon Gov. Ferry's requisition in the Cush-
ing case, but there was really nothing else
for him to do. He simply followed an es-
tablished principle oflaw and is, therefore,
not to blame. 1t is, however, unfortunate
that criminal should escape justice
through technicality, but the state is
quite as well without Cushing as with
him

THE WORLD Is FULL OF BEAUTY.

There lives voice within ms-a guest angel Of
my heart,
And its bird-like MARBLES win me, till the tears
a-tremble start;
Up evermore it springeth, like some magic mel
And svermore it singeth this sweet song Of songs
"This world is full of beauty, as other worlds
And, il we did our duty, it might be a. full of
love-
If faith, and hope, and Kindness passed Is coin
twixt heart and heart
Up through the eyes ear-blindness. how the
sudden soul should startl
The dreary, dim, and dssolate, would wear .
sunny bloom,
And love should spring from buried hate like
flowers from winters tomb,
This world In full of beauty, as other worlds
above;
And, if we did our duty. it might be a. full OF
love.
Were truth our uttered language, spirits might
talk with men,
And God-illumined earth should see the Golden
Age again;
The burthened heart should soar in mirth like
morn's young proprietary,
And misery's last tear wept on earth quench
hell's last cunning spark:
This world is full of beauty, AZ other worlds
above;
And, if we did our duty, 1t might be as full of
love.
We hear the cry for bread with plenty smiling
all around;
Hill and valley in their bounty blush for man
with fruitage crowned.
What merry world it might be, opulent for all
and aye,
With its lands that ask for labor, and its wealth
that wastes away
This world il full of beauty, az other worlds
above;
And, If we did our duty, it might be as full of
love. Gerald Adsseu

Pointers About Pianos.

Of the thousands of pianos in New York
at least so per cent. are harsh and tin
panny." In the majority of cases this is
not SO much the fault of the owner as it is
that of the manufacturer. A piano must
be cared for constantly if you even expect
it to give satisfaction. Dampness is the
pianos most dangerous enemy. If the in
strument is placed in damp room or left
open in draft of air the result will be that
the strings, the tuning pins and other
metal parts will become coated with rust
and the cloth used in the construction of
the keys will become swollen.
The matter of tuning should not be neg
lected and should never be intrusted to
any other than an experienced person. In
capable tuners often work irreparable in
jury to the most perfect and costly instru-
ments. During the first year a piano
should be tuned three or four times After
that is will only be necessary to have it
tuned at longer intervals. Ordinary prac-
tice, whether by child or grown up per-
son, will not injure piano in any way. 1t
is not necessary 20 be professional piano
player and TO know with what force to
strike the keys in order to keep the instru-
ment in good condition. In schools and
institutions where the instrument is used
continuously for ten or twelve hours day
the felt portions soon wear out and the
pianos become worthless.-NeW York Tel

Tanning q Zebra.

Zebras can never be tanned, unless the
process is begun while they are still very
young. f. A. Dryden gives an instance
OF tragic fate which befell one of them,
captured when he was or years old.
He had Joined a troop of horses belong
ing to one of the authors friends, and
finally allowed himself to be driven with
them into haai or Enclosure. It was
then determined TO keep him, and If pos
sible to domesticate him.
For this purpose he was lassoed and
tied to tree, but so ferocious was he in
the presence of man that the greatest
precautions had to be observed in ap-
preaching him. All possible means were
taken to induce him to feed. When cap
tured he was in splendid condition, and
his coat shone in the sun. Heritage was
brought from the mountain tops where
he had been used to Craze, and every
conceivable food placed before him, but
in vain; he steadily refused to eat.
Water he drank greedily, and would
dispose of three bucketfuls at a time.
At length, after three weeks Of vain
endeavor to tame the noble creature,
during which time he subsisted entirely
on water, he died.-Youth's Companion.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

The Crescent society gave program OF
exercise in High school chapel yesterday
afternoon which was quite interesting.
This society as well as the Emersonian are
organized and Independent of the school.
Last year they were part of the school
exercises. The exercises were as follows:
Recitation, go 1t Alone" by Ezra
Beard, was we'll spoken.
Original poem, Excelsior" by Hubert
Levy, was good and amusing.
The Iris" was edited by Miss Aletha
Randall and highly commendable to the
young lady. She paid beautiful tribute
to the memory of Senator Plumb.
Miss Mary Burd read an essay on ''How
to be Happy" which demonstrated the
study of human nature to be familiar
subject with the writer. 1t was a highly
creditable production.
Miss Flora Caswell and Miss Lucy
Guthrie rendered an instrumental duet in
fine style termed The Laughing Bellies. !"
Erwin Taft had an Grafton, subject,
"Retribution." This was well considered
and possessed some rare and beautiful
thoughts.
The Ship of Faith" was recited by Miss
Laura Spaun, and if she had been behind
the curtain one would have thought it was
the old colored preacher himself, she did
it SO perfectly.
The society has chosen Clydus Brown
for president Miss Bella Snyder for secre-
tary and Hubert Levy for critic.

Why Sunsets are Red.

A shower Of a remarkable character
occurred in Sicily on April "a, s;781. On
the morning of that day every exposed
place within an extensive district was
found covered with a gray water, which
being evaporated left deposit nearly a
quarter of an inch in thickness. 1t was
determined that this solid matter must
have come from Mount Ktna. 1t is GER
tain that vast quantities of solid SUBJ
stances are constantly afoat in the at

of the dust from the mighty eruption in

women travelling with their husbands,
most of them for Chicago business firms,
although few represent h ses in this
city and Boston. The lines f goods
they carry vary from stationery and
maps to hardware and jewelry. One
couple are travelling through the coun-
try with horse and wagon, dealing in
sewing machines, while another couple
are employing the same method to carry
lines of gloves, mittens, etc. One wom-
an said that the number of women who
had taken to commercial travelling with

this business as well as any other?" she
demanded. And why shouldn't they

BEYOND THE STARS.

Beyond tbs stars, beyond our sight,
Above those silent worlds of light,
There is so much for which we care;
Our best and deepest love is there,
In that vast realm that knows no night.
Cold, glitt'ring orbs of radiance bright.
Look down in pity from your height,
And tell US of that land so fair.
Beyond the stars.
Death knows not mercy in his might;
His hand earth's fairest bloom does blight;
But still we trust and kneel in prayer;
There is no SHINING, no despair,
But perfect safety-all is right,
Beyond the stars.

A General who Prayed Before Battle.

Stonewall Jackson's negro servant said
he always knew when there was going to
be battle, because his master got up so
many times in the night to pray. And he
at once packed his haversack, for he knew
that ne would call for it in the morning.
When he was riding to battle and spoke
not word, his lips were observed TO be
moving in prayer. Thus relying upon a
higher power, how could he help looking
upon success as the answer to his prayers,
and say, what he fervently believed, that it
was mot by mis- own might or power" but
that it was God who had given him the
victory2-Rev. Henry N. Field, D. D.. IN

The French baker is not only required
to conform to laws regarding weight,
but he is also told at what price he must
sell his bread. He is further required to
deposit certain sum OF money in the
hands of the municipal authorities as a
surety of good behavior. In the large
fortified cities he has to keep specified
quantity of flour on hand to provide for
warlike emergencies.
In Germany laws of similar import are
in existence, and are enforced with such
severity that no baker ever dreams of de-
flying them.-Baker's Helper.

Halloween are named for two lovers.
Should they lie together and burn to-
gether. John and Title will be happy
husband and wife, but should the nuts
bounce and iy asunder, the sign is a
bad one.-New York Herald.
