they have not gained a single battle
of any consequence since the re

ONE OF THE UNsoLvED PROBLEMS.

In a late Royal institution lecture,
Pref. Dewar stated that in Prof
Langley's researches the spectre
scope has been made to discrimi-
nate between luminous and non-lu-
minous radiant heat, with important
practical results. For example, can
die, oil-lamp and gas-jet gave IS per
cent of heat to only 2 of light. The
numbers for arc light were 80 and
10, for magnesium SIS and Is, sun
light 70 and 80, and the Cuban fire
fly 1 and SO. A great problem is to
alter the proportions IS and 2, and
80 and 10, and get as near the fire.

electing San Antonio as their next
place of meeting, had occasion to
pass that city en- route to Arkansas
Pass, and were shown Mo courtesy
whatever by city officials. The
local Bohemians, however, treated
them royalty. San Antonio's repu-

viable one by any means, and we
therefore predict a slim attendance
at the next meeting of the Press

ST. /OSEPHS HOSPI7Z.

One of the best and most important
institutions in Aberdeen is the hospital
established here this last summer by the
Dominican sisters, OF New York, an in
stitution that is calculated to do great
good on account of the accidents resulting
from the many mills and logging camps
that are in continual operation in this
Grays harbor country.
The sisters at present occupy three
frame buildings, but tie plans have just
been completed for a large and commo-
dious brick structure that will be built
at once This building will offer every
accommodation possible for the sick, and
be an ornamen. to the city.
From October LIST to December 31st,
twenty-one patients were treated in the
hospital, coming from all parts of the
harbor. m almost every instance the
patients were suffering from accidental
injuries.

THE CENZRAL CITY

Aberdeen is the central city and the port
of entry for the Grays harbor country.
1t is situated at the apex of that pear
shaped bay, where the waters of the har-
Dor are united with those OF the
Chehalis and Wishkah rivers, sixteen
miles from the bar. The incorporate
limits of the city contain eleven square
miles of land and water, lying on both
sides of the rivers just named and the
bay proper. The site is principally level,
but back of the level portion
rises gradually to an elevation of fifty
feet or more. The Wishkah river
divides the city little east of the center.
This river is navigable for some distance
for the largest ships and for steamers as
far as sixteen miles above its mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven OF eight years ago,
but its commercial growth has been mat
ter of only three years. The first corners
thought of little but the advantageous
location and exceptional natural facilities
for saving and shipping lumber,
but these two very important factors have
gone to make up a location favorable for
other industries, and a realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

SECRET SOCIETIES AND OTHEH
ORGANIZE TONS.

An important factor in the building up
of any new community, hand-in-hand
with the schools and churches, are the
secret or fraternal societies; of these

SHIP YARD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship timbers in the
world, with well-equipped foundry and
machine shop, and plenty of deep water
in which to launch her vessels, this city,
in time, is destined to become one of the
largest ship-building points in the cohn-
try. Last September, from this ship
yard was launched a large three-masted
schooner, the ~. M. Weatherwax,"
which is one of the finest vessels Of the
kind on the coast. The building of this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed $4,000.
Since then the steamers "City of Aber-
DEEM and "Clan Mcdonald" have been
built and launched.

HARBOR CHARGES AND LNSLIR
ANcE ON SHIPPING.

On account of the ease of entrance and
the accessibility of the harbor ports to
the ocean, the towage ratey are much less
for vessel bound from this city than for
one bound from Portland or ports on
Puget Sound The towage rates on the
harbor for lumber laden vessel is fifty
cents per thousand feet of lumber for in
and out tow, and twenty cents per ton for
incoming freight, while the towage rates
on the Sound are much larger, as the dis
lance to be traversed is longer.
Tie insurance rates on lumber and
merchandise leaving the harbor ports are
likewise lower than the Sound rates on
the same cargoes. The highest rate from
Grays harbor to San Francisco being
three-quarters per cent. lower lower than
the lowest schedule rates from Puget
Sound, the lumber rates being also three
quarters per cent. in favor OF Grays
harbor.

LIGHT AND WATER.

The streets, business houses, public
buildings, and many private dwellings of
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur
nished by the Aberdeen Electric Com
pany, home corporation, having paid
up capital stock Of $4,000. The plant is
one Of the best and comprises both the
incandescent and arc system of lighting
The charges are reasonable and the quail
ity of light the best.
The people, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale of which has pro-
vided money for sueh an improvement Of
the system as will furnish supply OF
pure water sufficient for population Of
forty thousand. This system is now in
operation.

GRAYS HARB0R.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Grays harbor,
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
nayigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor on the coast. The bar car
ries depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, winch
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isabout a
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to point at its eastern end, where it is
met by the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.
In the harbor there are three well defined
channels offering ample anchorage room
and merging into one broad, deep channel
or roadstead, near the head of the harbor.
These channels are separated from each
other and from the shore proper by ex-
tensiye IL ad flats up to the point of their
conveyance, where the volume OF water,
being more confined, has swept them
away, and the water is deep up to the
very shore line. At the head OF the har-
Dor the channel is over two thousand
feet wide, carrying depth of 40 feet.
Theexpense of continuing this width and
depth to the sea would not be great, and
no doubt will be done as soon as proper
surveys can be made on which an estimate
of cost can be based. Once these i'm
provements are made, the flow of water
is sufficiently strong to keep it from shoal-
ing. The harbor is land-locked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from Jour to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acct
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten years the harbor has been
used as deep water port not a single
vessel has met disaster going or coming.
This harbor is three hundred and fifty
miles nearer San Francisco than are the
cities of Puget Sound, and six hundred
miles nearer Oriental ports than is San
Francisco. Tacoma, Washington, is about
sixty miles by land from the eastern end
Of the harbor, while the peninsula, around
which all vessels must 60 to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
Of it; thus passenger from San Francisco,
bound for Tacoma, saves more than
fiue hundred miles Of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
of rail. Distance is time, time is money.
These facts are thoroughly undersIc.S. "
the railroad companies, who are now hur-
rying to completion their lines to this
point. Their especial concern will be
the transportation of coal and wheat
from Central and Eastern Washington,
with which the halbor has now direct
railroad communication. Nature has, in
deed, made here an unequaled gateway
to the ocean, to the commerce of the
world. /, 1t only remains for men to i'm
prove the opportunity.

school houses are well equipped with the
most improved furniture and apparatus.
The graded schools of Aberdeen have
already become noted for their efficiency.
Preparation is being made for the erection
of new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,
1891, had an average attendance of two
hundred pupils.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

Beside the public school, Aberdeen en-

bic school, conducted by the Domin can
sisters Of New York. Together with its
common branches they also instruct their
pupils in instrumental music and draw
ing. They now have an enrolment Of
ouer sixty pupils.

MzvYzE1cTURLNG.

Chief among the industries OF Aberdeen
is that of numbering, including logging,
saving and shipping. Not less than five
hundred men are employed in the woods
in this vicinity. Four mills are in opera
ton with a combined daily capacity OF
400. 900 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
siyelv devoted to the local trade, while
the largest share of the product OF the
other three is shipped to California
and foreign ports. For several rea-
sons Aberdeen can and does supply
lumber cheaper than either the Columbia
or Puget Sound mills. AS shown else
where, our port charges, towage and other
items of ships necessary expenses are
much less. Legs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was 80, 1000, 900; the home consumption
being about 9,OO0,O0 On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
900, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.
WOOD-WORR E.STABLLSKXkENTS.
After numbering, the next important
industry is that Of the sash, door, blind
and general woodworking and turning
establishments. Three of these are now
in profitable operation, and there is room
for more. The raw material is cheap and
the market convenient.
A factory for furniture exclusively
would be a most profitable investment
here, as has been amply proven by the
work in that line being done at the sash
factories. Two shingle mills and a box
factory will be ready for business this
spring, and almost any number OF indus
tries Of this kind can find good locations
near this city, where material is easily
obtained.

The most fashionable sleeves of the mo.

from the shoulder to the elbow, with tight
gauntlet to the wrist, but a newer kind
has a cuff which turns downward toward
the knuckles and almost hides the hand.
1t is to be hoped that this will not gain
any special favor. It is neither comfort
able wear nor pretty to look at. 1t makes
the forearm look too long and interferes
with the quick movement of the hand.

Stuffed Cabbage.

The following is an excellent way tocook
cabbage; Choose a firm, nice cabbage,
pick Off the outside leaves and plunge the
cabbage into boiling water, pressing it
down in the center to allow the water to
penetrate and loosen the leaves. Then
place the cabbage on meat board and
open each leaf gently until you reach the
center. out Of which cut piece about the
size Of an egg. Fill this space where you
have cut out the heart with a mixture Of
minced cold meat or chicken, chopped
bacon and two we'll beaten eggs; bring the
nearest leaves well over to reform the
heart and fill each space between the leaves
with a thin layer of the mince, bringing
each leaf back as nearly as possible to its
original place. Lay two strips Of bacon
sideways over the cabbage and tie it all
around with thick thread so 1t cannot fall
to pieces. Make q nice brown gravy and
pour over the cabbage; in this simmer the
cabbage gently for four hours.

The fact Is, there were so many more IN
teresting things to think of than snoring
lean boys. For instance, teacher" said,
"Now, babies"--they ranged from two and
half to three or four years, suppose
"now, babies, we'll play The Babes in the
Wood shall wef" Then some babies
made a circle in the open space in front Of
the teachers desk. They were the trees,
and two other little babies were the Babes.
They lay down and we covered them with
handfuls of imaginary leaves by little
robins, who kept saying, POO Babies,
Poo Babies" and wiping their eyes with
very dirty fingers. Then the robins few
away, or the trees ran away, and the
Babes shook Off the imaginary leaves and
tidied themselves and adjusted their hair

success. Simple kindergarten exercises
and singing helped to pass the remainder
of the afternoon, during which time the
teachers reigned over these little children
with the most patient interest. When the
school was over the mothers and elder sis
ters called for the little ones and took
them home
