In introducing his paper on
Washington; the Evergreen
State" in Hsrper's Magazine for
September, Julian Ralph says: II
have called Montana the Treasure
State, and have shown that it is
vastly larger than Pennsylvania,
with prosrectively many times its
wealth in minerals and in the variety
OF its resources. But much that we
find promised in Montana is ampli
fed within the territory of Washing
ton. The hopeful inhabitants of
tie former boldly adopt the motto.
The last shall be first, as to sag
that amid the riches of which they
find suggestion and promise all
around them, they see for themselves
a greater wealth-producing future
than is boosted at present By any of
the other states. | cannot follow
them so far. There is certainty
that Washington has more varied
resources than Montana, and |
think that, with or without irri "a
ton, Washington will support a
larger population but with both
states it is too early for closer com
parsons.

Considering what very poor things
cigarettes are, it is surprising that
they should have got such a hold on
the community. But, bad as they
are, they are extremely fascinating

deleterious extent. OF course it is
primarily because they are SO cheap
that they appeal so generally to
boys bnt even with boys, who
ought not to be allowed to smoke al
all, it is not so much the tobacco in
the cigarette that does the mis-
chief as the pestilent and insinuat-
ing practice of inhaling the smoke.
An ordinary boy of wholesome appe.
tites won't smoke cigars OF pipe
tobacco enough to 10 him serious
damage, even if he can get them.
Nor would the cigarettes he might
smoke be so serious menaee to his
welfare if he could only smoke them
as he would smoke cigars. The
trouble is that as soon as he gets
used to cigarette smoking he begins
to inhale the smoke, and presently
is fixed in habit that plays the
mischief with him.
Whether anytL ing besides tobacco
goes into ordinary cigarettes is a
much discussed question. The eff
feet they sometimes produce on the
brain is 50 different from that due
to tobacco in other forms as to favor
the theory that many Of them con-
tain opium or valerian; but this the
manufacturers deny, usually assert

siye to put into cheap cigarettes,

bacco obviously goes into them, and

RAILROADS ACROSS THE ANDES.

1t will be good news to intending
travellers to Chill. says The South
American Journal (London), that
the trans Andine route is now so far
available that arrangements are be-
ing completed by the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company for regular
through traffic during the next sea
son, beginning ia October. The
route has been open now for some
time, and has been used to con-
siderable extent, but there has al
ways been some little trouble attend
ing it, as there was no regular
service Of mules or carriages
between the termini of the Argen-
tine and the Gillian sections of the
trans-Andine railway, and each
party of travellers had to make their
own arrangements for transport.
However, in the future during the
summer months, October to May,
there will now be regular commune
cation. We are informed also that
there is some intention on the part
of Messrs. J. E. & Nj. Clark, the
contractors of the railway, to erect
series of shelter huts at short dis
tances apart that it may be possible
to keep the route open Throughout
the entire year. Whether this
proves TO be practicable or not re-
mains TO be seen, but there can be
no doubt that henceforth, for the
summer months at least, many of
the passengers to Chill will prefer
this route to that via the Straits of
Magellan. In view Of this the d.
rectors of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company are arranging to
issue through tickets from South
ampton to Valparaiso, which we
learn will be at the following rates
First-class, single, f40 or ESQ, ac-
cording to cabin; 6rst-class, return,
Ell los. or ESQ; second-class,
single, f30-that is, second-class
by steamer and frst-class by rail

The Luag- Of a Plant.

One of the prettiest microscopical
studies is the examination Of the

microscope, every leaf viii show

Interesting.

1t was decided that Mr.. Wright
must administer stern lecture to
his 4-year-old daughter Florence.
The little girl had been naughty,
but she did not seem to appreciate
the fact, and Mr. Wright reluctantly
undertook "scolding."
He hated to make the tender lit
tie heart ache and see the dear child
cry, but he forced himself to speak
judiciously and severely. He re-
counted her misdeeds and explained
the why's and wherefores of his
stern rebuke. Mrs. Wright sat by,
looking duly impressed.
Finally Mr.. Wright paused for
breath, and also to hear the small
culprit acknowledge her error.

with admiration TO her mother and

The India Rubber Worm.

The latest triumph of Yankee in
ventive genius is an India rubber
FISH worm. 1t is said to be a re-
markable good imitation Of the com
mon earth worm, is indestructible,
and in actual use proves as alluring
TO the fishes as the genuine article.
The old fisherman will be quick to
perceive its advantages. One can
equip himself for a days sport
without digging over whole garden
in his search for bait. A handful
of India rubber worms viii last him
a whole season, and there will be no
necessity for pulling up the line
every few minutes to see if the small
fry nibblers have left the hook bare.
Possibly the greatest admirers of
the new bait will be the feminine
fishers, who, however expert with
the hook and line, have never
reached the point where they can
impale AL angle worm without Sc
ries Of shudders. The only one who
will find it drawback will be the
girl whose chief delight in fishing
comes from the excuse it gives for
keeping some young man at her side
to handle the horrid worms. The
invention of the rubber worm turns
angling into an exact science, with
no room for flirting accessories.
Doubtless the india rubber worm
is only a beginning of the marvels
in this line. From artificial flies
and artificial worms it is only step
to other kinds Of artificial bait. The
time is not far distant when bogus
frogs, crickets, bobson, snails,
grasshoppers and grubs will form
part OF every sporting outfit, with
perhaps artificial trout and bass for

A selfish Church.

The wealth of the Russian Church,
says an intelligent Russian, is almost
incalculable; it could pay the Rus
sian national debt (some $500, :
900, 000) and would then be enor-
mously wealthy. Yet this same
church has not been heard of during
the great distress prevalent in so
many provinces; no soup kitchens
have been opened by it; no contri-
buttons. Christian at Work.

A SILVER-LINED CLOUD
THE BLAND BILL HAS A FORE
BODING ASPECT.
The Bright Side of 1t Is Not visible-It
Threatens to Create Stormy Times in
the House-The Silver Fight to Be
Resumed and Fought to Finish.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Bland
silver bill still impends over the house
as cloud whose presence makes possi-
BILE storm which may disturb the prog
nostications of those who endeavor to
form an accurate chart of the course of
the legislative ship.
Owing to the absence of Catchings OF
Mississippi and the desire that there
shall he full representation of the
members of the house when the rule
making the Bland free coinage bill
and the pending amendments special
order, is taken up, the rules committee
will not report and call up the much
talked-of special order until Tuesday.
TheSsilver fight will then be renewed
and fought to finish, one way
or the other. Tomorrow will probably
be devoted to measures relating to
the District of Columbia. The remain
der of the week, not devoted to consid-
Grafton of the silver question, will be
consumed either in debate on the tariff
question or consideration of regular ap-
preparation bills. No decision has vet
been arrived at as to whether or not the
tariff discussion shall be further inter-
rupted. There are three appropriation
bills, namely, the naval. the consular
and diplomatic and the sundry civil,
ready for action by the house in the
order indicated. The river and harbor
appropriation bill has been agreed upon
by the committee. but will not be re-
ported to the house until next week.
Interest in the proceedings of the sem
ate this week will turn upon the dispo-
sition to be made Of the Bering
sea arbitration treaty. In the
course OF legislative business, the Indian
appropriation bill will be further con-
sidered and there is more to be said
upon the subject of employing army
officers in the capacity OF Indian agents.
The West Virginia direct tax bill is as
signed for debate on Tuesday, on which
day Senator Stanford will also, accord
ing to notice, address the senate on his
bill to determine the value of the legal
tender dollar. 1t is expected that the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up afterward, and as this
is measure in which the senators feel
much interest, owing in part to the fact
that many of them own homes in this
city, the debate upon the provisions of
the bill will likely occupy the senate for
some time.
