A Very Queer Satellite.

The satellite nearest to the planet
Jupiter must be a singular place Of
residence, if there be any possibility
of residents at all resembling human
beings. In the first place, though it
it is bigger than our own moon, the
substance of which it is composed is
less than half as light as cork, so that
it is not very solid place of residence.
In the next place, though the sun
appears very dim from it as compared
with what it appears from the earth,
1T has moon-namely, Jupiter it.
self-whose surface appears many
hundreds of times larger than our
moon.
In the third place, the recent OBJ
servations made of this satellite by
Mr.. Barnard in the great Lick Obser-
vatory make it not improbable that
this satellite is really cut in two, and
that, therefore, there may be two
separate little worlds, probably not
separated by any great distance (for
the total diameter of the two together,
II there be two divisions of the satel-
lite, which was always supposed till
quite recently to be single, is not
above 1900 miles across) revolving
together through space, some even of
the details of one of which worlds
must be visible from the other if
there be anything like telescopes ca
either half
@lf the satellite is not cut in two
Mr.. Barnard holds that there mnct ba
a light belt round it, much like the
light belt on Jupiter itself, and that
this light belt produces the impress
sion OF division under certain cir
cumstances of the orbit. We NAV
hope that the Lick Observatory will
at length solve the problem. Per
haps the residents Of the two halves
OF the planet, if it be in halves, can
really telegraph to each other.

Hollands Little Queer.

The life of little Wilhelmine, the
eleven-year Queen of Holland, is moi
wholly thornless one. The etiquette
of the Dutch Court is very strict, and the
little girl is not allowed to play with any
other children of her own age. One can
we'll imagine that the motherlY heart of
the Empress of Germany was touched at
the sight of the lonely, quiet, little child,
and when she thought of her six happy
little sons at home, it is not to be Won
dered at that she gave vent to her feel
ings in the Inference which provoked SO
much comment at the time; eff she
could only play with our boys, wouldn's
she enjoy it?~

EMPEROR FREDERICK.
a Pretty Story of the Great Soldier Told
by One of the German Papers.

A Pretty Story of the Great Soldier Told
by Ono of the German Papers.
A pretty story of the late Emperor
Frederick is told in one of the Ger
man papers Some years ago, shortly
before the death of the old Emperor
OF Germany, a tall, handsome gentle
man jumped into third-class carriage
OF local railway at Berlin, just as
the train was leaving the station.
| An old flower seller, with a basket of
| newly-cut hyacinths, was the only
other occupant of the compartment.
He asked the old dame to sell him a
| bunch, and, Modified by his suave
manner, she chose the freshest and
largest, and handed it to him. Its
price was penny, but as the gentle
man had no coppers and the old
woman no change, not having sold
any of her goods yet, she was paid
with mark piece, which, as she said
at once, was a thing that had never
been heard of before in a third-class
carriage.
Presently the stranger and the
Hover seller were deep in conversa-
ton, and it turned out that the poor
woman was the only breadwinner of a
family of four. Her son was crippled.
her granddaughter a little school
girl, and her husband had for some
months past been out of work. since
new railway official had dismissed
MIN as being too old to do much
work. The stranger then suggested

ties. That is no good whatever"
she replied, as she wiped her tears
with her apron. of you haven't the
Pope for your cousin nowadays, you
can't get anybody to listen to you"
TRY the Emperor, the stranger went
ON. "Alasl" she sighed, eff the old
gentleman was allowed to see the
petitions that are sent, it might do
some good, but he does not get to
know about us poor people,"
well, then, let your husband write
to the crown prince" Eyes" she
said, she might do that" and she
would tell him so as soon as she had
sold her flowers. BY this time the
train had got to the terminus. The
old dame bundled out her basket and
noticed with establishment that the
officials and the crowd ON the plat
form looked at her carriage and salut-
ed and cheered. whats up?" she
asked. why, the crown prince was
in the same compartment with you"
Then the flower seller held her head
high aud told every syllable of what
had happened to the delighted crowd.
Her flowers were sold before five min
utes were over, and fortnight after
ward her husband was at work again
again in his old Mace.

THERE are many kinds of pride,
the pride OF wealth, of name, of birth,
OF social standing, or popular esteem
but none is quite so offensive as that
or an imagined mental superiority.
1t looks down upon others with a
supercilious compassion which awak.
ems all the resentments Of human
nature. Deeper and truer thought
Danishes this delusion, and makes a
man modest as nothing else can; for

NOT IN 1.-THE DITCH.

When the republican party Of this
state put into its platform plank advo-
eating an appropriation by the general
government for the improvement OF the
townsite of Kirkland and the pockets Of
few real estate Spectators that party
forced an issue that had no place in
politics; but which, once made, must be
met and fought out to finish between
the voters Of King county and the voters OF
the remainder of the state Of Washington.
The democratic party can better meet
defeat, if opposing the ditch means de-
feat, at the hands of an indignant contin-
gent Of one locality, than be overwhelm-
ingly condemned by the voters of the en-
tire state. But condemnation of the
canal means victory, not defeat. 1t
means that the state of Washington will
show King that no locality can demand
that the interests of that locality be ad
vanced at the expense of other portions
Of the state.
No locality is jealous OF Seattle's
ditch, ii only Seattle will build it. But
when a private enterprise, that can have
no earthly claim to governmental aid,
stands as an obstacle in the way of legit-
innate governmental improvement, ii
must expect to be blasted by the people.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The republicans have their county
ticket in the field; and if the democrats
expect to beat it, they must, in most
cases, put up unexceptional men.
In some places the ticket is as weak as
in others it is strong.
The candidate for commissioner from
the third district must make the run
upon his record. We feel confident his
record will defeat him.
The candidates for the legislature not
only stand for practice and theory to
which the HERALD is unalterably op-
posed, but their success at the polls
would mean an endorsement by the peo-
pie Of the legislative policy Of the two
last republican Legislatures in this state.
We believe the people propose to con-
denim those Legislatures.
When the other tickets are made up
the taxpayers will, We believe, pick from
them all the men that will best manage
the business affairs of Chehalis county.

RetrencI,nent.

James Stewart, as chairman of the
committee on police, fire and lights,
made the following recommendations to
the council: 'That the city's expense be
reduced by dismissing one night watch
man, and dispense with all electric lights.
To continue these in our present finan-
cial condition seems 10 me an injustice TO
our taxpayers. AS q member of this
council, l would suggest the propriety of
further reducing expenses by abolishing,
for the present, the Office of street COM
missioner, and would call your atten-
ton to the wrong of compelling the peo-
pie of this city to maintain free bridge
to North Aberdeen at cost of $500 per
annum. while the entire property of the
people Accommodated thereby is taxed by
this city at only $18445 per annum.
These items may seem trifling, yet they
would result in net saving to this city
OF $269.5O per month, or 1924 per an

Mckinley Hntes Chcap Cattle

Among the changes in the tariff which
the Mckinley bill has made, that upon
i've cattle is especially noticeable. The
old rate was 20 per cent. ad yalorem. the
new rate being ten dollars per head on
all cattle more than year OLE. Per-
haps the Trainer of this item had in mind
lmportations from Canada, or possibly
high priced bulls from foreign ports, but
he could scarcely have remembered that
mne-tenths of all our imports of cattle
are from Mexico. An average herd of
Mexican cattle of the age specified would
not be worth, delivered on this side of
the Rio Grande, over seven dollars ner
head, while the duty would be ten dol
lars per head. In other words. the i'm
porter OF cattle from Mexico could sell
ms cattle, when he has delivered them on
this side of the line, for about seven
tenths enough to pay the duty. This ap-
pies to an average herd of mixed cattle.
A herd OF all beeves would be worth
much more, while herd of all younp
females would be worth much less.
When this provision went into effect
1t caught many Texans with hundreds
OF thousands of cattle in Mexico, where
they had gone for pasturage. The men
were many of them ruined because this
tariff prohibits them from seeking
United States markets, and they have
been obliged to rely on the Mexican
markets which have never been very
good and are now much depressed
owing to United States prohibition.
Texas has been for many years over
moving with cattle, and many Of her cit
liens have been in the habit of going tc
Mexico with their herds for pasturage,
bringing back the beeves and paying 20
per cent. ad valorem, but at present q
herd OF beeves would bring but trifie
more than the duty.-American Wool
