A reference to the local columns of
the HERALD for the past few weeks
will show the Importance of Belling-
ham bay as port of shipment for the
mineral and other resources of British
Columbia, which find their most con-
venient outlet at this point, the Cana
dian Pacific road being the connecting
link between the base of supply and
tide water shipment. That these min
erals should pass through Bellingham
bay to be smelted at Tacoma, despite
the admirable facilities in the line of
coal, lime and coke to be found here, is
an evil the remedy for which will be
found in the erection of smelter at
Fairhaven during the coming summer.

The Great Pine of Japan.

The great pine of Japan, called Dai
Matsli, stands on the coast of the inland
sea of Biroa, about three miles from
Otsu. The priests who have charge OF
the tree declare that it was mentioned
in the records of their cloister 800 years
ago, and that it was planted A. D.
675. 1t is counted among the eight
wonders of Japan, and its singular as.
pect, as it stretches its long branches
far out on every side over scaffolding
formed by more than 300 poles, has been
pictured in many books of travel. AL.
though it is fully exposed to the wind,
and although its trunks and branches
bear more than one lightning scar, it is
still vigorous, and only gradual thin
ming out of its foliage bears witness to
its great antiquity.
At two feet above the ground the di-
ameter Of its trunk is 10 feet 8 inches,
its height is "a feet, and the diameter of
its widely stretched crown is 242 feet.
-Four houses formerly stood among its
branches, but two of them were ruined
in great storm a few years ago. The
other two are still largely resorted to by
supper parties on summer evenings, and
the japanese take special delight in lis.
tening to the dripping of rain into the
water from the boughs, as they over
hang the sea.-Garden and Forest.

Self Help in Case of Fire.

AS house is never attacked by fire at
the top and bottom at once, if there is a
safe and ready exit at both top and bot
tom very little danger to life is to be
feared. 1t is important that all exits
should be so known as to be easily
found, by day or night, by every inmate
Of the house. If the clothes you have
on catch fire, blanket, rug, or some
such wooden article should be quickly
and tightly wrapped around you. Air
is thus excluded and the fire goes out
A small fire in a room can often be
put out in the same way, in preference
to pouring water on it. In case of fire,
keep all doors shut as far as possible. IL
a room is full of smoke keep low or
crawl, because smoke and hot air both
rise, leaving the floor comparatively
clear.-London Tit-Bits.

Silver Facts.

England, through her colonies, is the
largest producer of gold among the ma
tons. 1t is therefore to her interest to
keep up the price of gold and be mono
metallic for gold as far as the interests
of India will let her. The United States
is the greatest silver producer among
the nations and naturally wants to keep
up the price of silver. These two great
nations are the ones that will decide
what the results of the international sill
yer conference shall be. Except France
the leading nations of continental Eu-
rope are mostly on the side of England
in favor of gold standard. But, on the
other hand, the interests of all the Span
ish-American republics lie with those of
the United States in booming the price
of silver. If these countries were as
strong and influential comparatively as
the nations of continental Europe are,
then they and the United States, stand
ing together, could rule the metallic
currency of the world. AS it is, what
ever the outcome of the silver confer
ence may be, if there is any outcome, it
will practically be a compromise be-
tween the gold of England and the sill
yer of the United States.
The committee appointed at Brussels
to consider the silver proposition of
Banker Alfred de Rothschild repre-
sented with comparative fairness the
various conflicting views. The position
taken by Banker Rothschild is that real
bimetallism-the indiscriminate coinage
OF gold and silver-is impossible to Eng
land, but for the sake of India and the
silver nations she would be willing to
extend the use of silver as money. To
this end he proposed that the nations of
Europe should agree collectively to pur-
chase annually for five years $25, 900, 900
worth of silver and use it, or notes rep
resenting, it as money.
The United States is meanwhile to
agree for five years to continue buying
$50 10000 of silver annually as she has
been doing since the Sherman law of
July, 1890, but if the price of silver mean
while rises above forty-three pence an
ounce in Europe ninety-four cents, that
the European nations will sus-
pend purchase of the white metal. The
price of silver in the New York market
at the time the proposition was made
was eighty-six cents an ounce.
The United States consumes one-third
of all the silver annually produced in
the world. An American banker SAYS
that the European governments are al
ready buying as much as sos, OOO,O 900 in
silver every year for subsidiary coinage,
and that if the Rothschild proposition
was accepted it would make no great |
difference to them.

The Seattle Telegraph publishes the
following sensible protest against the
proposition to devote the first part of
the Evergreen State Souvenir for the
Worlds fair to the state commission /:
The first pages, shown by Mr.. Hest
wood, disclosed portraits of some of the
commissioners. We desire to enter a
protest against any such performance.
1t is true that the Souvenir is sort of
private affair, but as it Is the only au-
thorized publication of the kind from
this state, it ought not to be disfigured
by such an exhibition of provincialism.
We have not observed any yearning on
the part of the world to know what our
commissioners look like. We think
that the world at large will assume
that they average in looks much like
other people, that some of them have
whiskers and some have not, and that
some are older than others. In our
humble judgment the idea of the
commissioners publishing their por-
traits in book intended to be a SOU
venir of Washington is presumption
that would be difficult to parallel, and
we trust that the press of the state will
set down solidly on what will be
thought by every stranger to be piece
of snobbishness."

Tho Latent norm of II Disease.

Active differentiation IN a developed
state is rarely troublesome to the milk
dealers, and very few get milk from
such animals. But nearly every dairy
contains animals that have the disease
in a latent state, and nearly all who
drink milk in cities have some that
comes from cows with latent Tubercu-
losis. The important question is, When
has the disease progressed far enough
to be dangerous, and how can it be
guarded against? No one can tell at
what stage in the disease the milk is
safe, or when it becomes dangerous. 1t
is also true that some are so much more
susceptible to the disease that they will
contract it from milk that others would
be entirely free from. With children the
danger is greater than with older peo-
pie, and child that is born with feeble
constitution cannot stand much milk
that has these germs in it.
Boiling the milk or sterilizing it has
tendency to eliminate the germs, but
not in all instances. This method re-
duces the nutritive value of the food,
which is already low owing to its dis
eased condition, and not great deal is
gained by feeding such food to children.
Nevertheless this is the only preventive
measure for those using milk in cities
during hot weather, and it should be
rigidly enforced. In the future, breeds
of cows may be bred which will not be
subject to this disease, and it is only
along this line of improvement that tu-
berculosis can be stamped out.-Yankee

Much stress is laid on the fact of Mr..
Gladstone's mental and physical vigor
at extreme age, yet an American who
lately died was even more remarkable in
respect to the preservation of his powers
of mind and body. This was Rev. DR..
John Witherspoon Scott, father-in-law
OF President Harrison. DIR. Scott was
ten years older than Gladstone, and
would have been ninety-three Jan. %.
He held clerkship in the departments
at Washington up to the time of the
inauguration of President Harrison,
when he was eighty-nine years old.
1t was said that he was not obliged to
resign from age then, but left office be-
cause it did not look well for a presi-
dents father-in-law to be government
clerk. Forty years ago DR.. Scott was
president of the fashionable finishing
school for the bellies of Kentucky, Ohio
and Indiana. at Oxford, 0. 1t was called
the Oxford Female seminary, and DIR.
Scott founded it. The brave will Of the
doughty old Presbyterian minister kept
him alive and well, with all his mental
powers vigorous, at an age when most
men fall into imbecility and decrepitude.

When TO Call a Man "uister +.

Mr.. Labouchere, of London Truth,
who is able to settle most small dues-
tons, writes about when it is proper to
call man "mister" and when not. For
instance he says that it was belittling
when writer, in announcing the death
of Voltaire, spoke of him as Monsieur
Voltaire." He was so great a man that
his biographer should simply have men,
toned him as Voltaire.
The rule is that if you are Just a re-
spectacle, talented gentleman, entitled
to be looked up to by those around you,
then it is proper to speak of you as, say,
Mr.. Hunkers. But if you are SO over
whelmingly and dazzlingly great that
all the world has heard of you, then you
are Hunkers, the one and only. That
college student made a bad break when,
speaking of the poet Byron, he called
him Mr.. Byron. A still worse break it
would be to allude to the illustrious ia
Their of his country as Mr.. Washington.
There never was but one Washington.
There never was but one Napoleon
Bonaparte, therefore one never says Mon
sieur Bonaparte or even General Bona
parte, but only and always Napoleon.
Louis Napoleon tried very hard to make
out two Napoleons, but he failed inglo-
riously. We do not say Mr.. Lincoln
and General Grant and General Sher-
man. 1t is Lincoln, Grant, Sherman.
Mankind also say Joan of Arc, Maria
Theresa, George Sand and George Eliot.
When an individual become SO great
that his name is known everywhere,
then title of any kind is belittling to
him.

the tenants are paying more than third

The city council of New Whatcom
has acted wisely in granting a fran
chise to the Bellingham Bay & Eastern
Company for the construction of a line
connecting with their road running to
the bunkers on the water front. 1t is
the desire of the company to begin OPP
erations as soon as possible, in which it
is to be hoped they will not be hindered
by the owners of property lying along
the route over which they intend to
build. A just rate asked for the re-
quired right-of-way will doubtless be
paid by the company without caviling,
thus obviating the necessity of con-
demnation suits, but an attempt to ex-
act fancy prices is apt to involve liti-
cation and thus delay an important
enterprise and one which will give en-
ployment to large force Of men. The
Blue Canyon Company has kept inn
plicit faith with the residents of
the Bay and county, and deserves to
be helped in every reasonable manner
in its new undertaking.

GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA.
Reappearence of the Disease in the
Spring Looked For

Reappearence of the Disease in the
Spring Looked For.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Seoretary
Charles Foster said this morning that there
is no foundation for the impression, ap-
parently prevailing In certain SECTIONS of
the country, that the administration had
modified its policy of restriction as a pre-
caution against the introduction Of cholera
He said that sanitary experts declare that
cholera will, undoubtedly reappear III the
spring, and that it will be dangerous for the
federal authorities TO relax their vigilance
in keeping out Of the country all persons or
merchandise at all likely to carry germs of
the dread contagion. The Presidents order
Of Sept. l establishing twenty days quar-
autine against ell immigrants sailing from
foreign ports to the United States after that
date, except in special cases, is still in full
force and effect, and Secretary Foster
said he saw no prospect of Its modification
or repeal in view Of the possible reappear-
ance of cholera in Europe. Under that
order immigrants will not be allowed 10
land in the United States unless it can be
shown to the satisfaction of the treasury
department. that they were booked and as
