-. .sc1ration. There is no man in
the world who can in some matters
give such sound practical counsel at
heart and who discovers more by in
stinct and profound course Of reason
ing the best thing to do. 1t is rare
advantage in a man, in whatever pur-
suit he is engaged, TO have as an ad-
wiser sensible, practical woman. In
her is found that rare combination of
subtle delicacy of tact and plain sound.
ness of jugement that you so seldom
find in an equal degree in man. A
woman friend is a wisescounselor.S he
looks at all sides, has fine regard for
mans honor in any affair, and will
never give him any advice that will
lnjure his character or reputation. She
is so anxious to be proud OF him that
she will never urge him to any action
that will cause her to think otherwise.
Beside all this her womanly timidity
makes her sufficiently cautious to not
push him into anything without weigh
ing we'll each phase Of the matter,
whereas a man would rush in, hit or
miss, and too frequently would find
himself very wide of the mark, owing
to his lack OF premeditation. Many a
woman, however, who forms cou unselor
jumps at conclusions from her hearts

OF worldly judgment, and it only proves
that this earth IS not irretrievably bad
when you find how otter her views are
correct, even when opposed to the
calculating longsightedness of more
material minds.
The best adviser man can possess
is the one he so frequently thinks it
unnecessary to consult, namely, his

THE ROSE WOULD BLUSH.
BY EBEN X. REXFORD.

All through the sweet, bright springtime
l dreamed OF perfect day
That would come to the world in summer,
The rose would blush red on its spray;
The sky would be bright with sunshine
That never a shadow knew;
The bird by its nest be singing
In the joy of dream como true.
A day like n tiawless,-
Periecton's seal and sign,-
There'd be no hing to miss or mourn ior
In this perfect day of mine.
Days came that were full of beauty.
And all the world was gay,
But always something was lacking
To make the perfect day.
In the sweet midsummer music
There would suddenly come Jar,
A blot on the roses brightness
Something to spoil or mar.
But held to my faith and waited
The crowninS day of the year,
Without sight or sound 0 I sorrow,
AT last thought it here.
How the rose glowed in the sunshine.
How the birds sang in the tree,
What grandeur covered the mountains.
What glory was on the sea.
The day was wonderful poem
Set to tune ofgOld.
My heart was abrim with IA rapture
No words have ever told,
But, ah! as l breatheIed the fragrance
From a rose whose time was brief,
read earth's old, old story
In sere and yellow leaf,

SWEEPING A ROOM.

The preparation OF room for sweep
ing and the arrangement of the furni.
ture after the room has been cleaned
are by far the greatest part of the work,
writes Maria Parloa in the Ladies'
Home Journal. The first step is to
dust all the ornaments and place them
on firm table in another room. Next,
dust all the plain furniture, using a
soft cloth and removing the lighter
pieces from the room. Now beat and
brush all the stuffed articles, using
brush to clean the tufting and creases.
When everything movable has been
taken from the room and all the large
pieces covered dust the pictures with a
leather duster or cloth; then cover
the pictures. Brush the ceiling and
walls with long feather duster or a
soft cloth fastened on broom. Brush
all dust from the tops of the doors and
windows. Have the windows open
all the while. If there be portieres
and window drapenes that can be
taken down put them on the clothes
line and shake them well.
Take up all the rugs, and, if you
have grass IN the yard, lay them upon
it, right side down, and beat we'll with
switch or rattan; then shake. If
you have no place where you can
spread them, hang them on the line
and beat them well. Have a good
broom, rot too heavY,r5 the carpets.
Sweep in one direction only, taking
short strokes. Take up the dift with
dustpan and corn broom. Whenthe
dust settles, 60 over the carpet once
more, having first freed your broom of
all lint, thread, etc. When the dust
has again settled, dust the room with a
soft cloth.
Put three quarts OF warm water and
three tablespoonfuls of household
ammonia in a pail. Wiring clean piece
old flannel out of this, and wipe every
part of the carpet, wringing the cloth
as it becomes soiled. Now wash the
windows, and wipe off any marks there
may be on the paint. Remove the
coverings from the pictures and furnl-
ture, being careful not to scatter the
dust. Bring back the rugs and hang
lngs, and arrange them.
Finally, put the furniture and orna-
ments in place. If one has proper
covers for the pictures and heavv
pieces of furniture in the room, a
amount of trouble can be save

On Monday evening, January
25th, a concert was given in the old
School House, better known as Hale
aloha. The stage was very pref
tily arranged with hangings and
decorated with banana trees, bread
fruit boughs and pot ferns. An in
teresting programme was prepared,
to which both Hawaiians and for
eigners contributed, this no doubt
accounted for the vast audience
which filled the spacious hall to
overlooking. The proceeds, $50,
are to be given to the Lahaina and

HOW CONSUMPTION IS COMMUNE
GATED.

DR.. w. II. Chappell in the North
An1e1icGn RevfeaO declares that consump
ton is not hereditary. He adds that it is
communicated and that the accumulation
of such evidence is becoming so great
that every physician of experience feels
forced to share the belief of the communi-
cability of consumption. There are also
few physicians who have not had one or
more cases that for years they had thought
had been contracted in this way. How
else than by communication are we to ac-
tion amongst savage nations, where this
disease was unknown before civilized
people began to visit them? This is true
of our own American Indians, the in
habitants of Central Africa and many
other countries. nter-marrying, or any
other condition which might make hered-
itary transmission possible cause, cer-
tainly could not account for its rapid
progress. Besides, some of the best OBJ
servers and Investigators believe that
consumption is not hereditary, and there
is much positive evidence in favor of
this view. With such evidence of the
possibility of inhaling the bacilli, the
question would naturally be asked-How
do the bacili get into the atmosphere,
when they are not found in the breath of
Sr1f IF l.,
lively that in these cases bacilli are pres
ent in the mucus which is raised after
coughing. In its moist condition it is
impossible for it to be inhaled, but when
it dries and becomes dust it is blown
about, and it is in this form that it be-
comes dangerous"
If this is to be accepted as the truth,
and we believe that medical science con-
cedes it, it would seem to be the necessity
of the case that consumptives should be
sequestered that they shall not commune
cate the disease to those who cannot
guard themselves against it.
The people innocent of dangerous ex-
peetoration may well claim that the per-
son who is not shall not be permitted to
frequent public places for instance, and
thus spread the disease, and shall be so
removed and SO required to conform to
certain rules, as to render the spread of
the disease by the means described un-
likely. 1t is a subject of very serious
concern, and it is not improbable that in
the interest of common humanity re-
straint may yet be put upon the move
ments of consumptives. If by their ex-
pectoration they charge the air with dis
ease germs it will be as wise to sequester
them as the smallpox patients.

But while this question is pending, and
which, it is to be hoped, viii be decided
In favor of the mining interest, The case
of which is exceptional, and will not, we
think, constitute precedent for Govern
ment assistance to private industry, the
cause of river Improvement is in condi-
ton to encourage the expectation that the
Government will, if not now, at no great
distance of time, do for the nayigable
rivers of the State what is asked for
them.
The proposition of the mining interests
TO pay So out of every 500 taken from the
mines. to be put into restraining works,
goes long way toward forwarding the
plan for the revival of the mining in
dustry, and the release of from s., ,0OO, 900 to
Sl0,000,00O year of the precious metal for
the uses of commerce and trade and the
promotion of industrial activity.
The Government, it is conceded on all
hands, ought to deal with the question of
river Improvements; that is settled, and
all that remains is the question of means
and time. There would seem to be equal
strength in the proposition that the Gov
ernment should also deal with the ques-
ton of mining. 1t is, in large sense,
national question. one that concerns the
people as does that of storage for irriga-
ton, the preservation of forests and the
promotion of exports and ship-building
by Federal aid and encouragement. The
Government is to receive back in many
ways more than any output it will be
called upon to make. 1t will be a bene-
ficiary under the stimulation of mining,
precisely as it will be by the revival of
shipping and the restoration of the carry
ing trade to American bottoms.

THE MINING BILLS.

The proposition to construct works that
viii permit the resumption of hydraulic
mining is not meeting with the favor at
Washington that the friends of the min
ing industry hoped for. The question is
raised whether the Government can af-
ford to set the precedent of establishing
means for the conduct of private busi-
ness. But it would seem that this might
well be met by the answer that the Gov
ernment gave title TO the mines with
knowledge of the method to be en-
ployed, and that whatever works are con-
structed will protect and enlarge river
navigation, and are in line with the re-
-training works to prevent accumulated

OF PoLLING PLACES.

The question of cost, no matter what it
is, cuts no special figure in the case COM
parable with preservation of the purity
of the elective franchise and the means
for its free and unobstructed and per-
feetly secret exercise. The law should.
therefore, be complied with, as nearly as
may be, to the very letter, which requires
that no election precinct shall embrace
more than 275 voters.
With, say, $500 voters in Sacramento,
there should be twenty instead of fifteen
precincts. The division of the voters into
groups of 275 is to be done ''as nearly as
can be ascertained,' says Section Il29.
With the whole number of electors rea-
sonably known, division by 275 gives the
precincts necessary. The remaining task
is the adjustment of bounds, and this
ought to be capable of achievement so as
not to embrace at the utmost more than
800 voters within any given lines. The
purpose of making small groups of elect
compliance with it should be made the
special aim of the officials.
In Tuesdays election there were two
precincts with over 400 votes, six with
from 315 to S9S, six with nearly the right
number, and one with less than the
maximum. Seven out of fifteen, there
fore, complied with the law, while two
had more than half again too many, and
the others in excess had from 40 to III too
many. There is no intention to be cap
tious in the matter. For first attempt,
a very near approach to proper division
was made, but with the experience of this
week there will be no excuse for too large
groups next fall when general election
is to be held, and there will be far more
excitement about the polls and greater
time taken to ascertain results.

DISREPUTABLB POLITICS.
Very Sensible Talk from a woodland
contemporary.
Woodland Daily Democrat.l

Woodland Daily Democrat.l
Tuesday evening, the closing incident
OF the municipal election in Sacramento
was the murder of a resident of that city
who rejoices in the sobriquet of big
Neck"
1t is not our intention to deal with the
incidents that led up to the shooting. We
are not disposed to forestall a judicial in
Vestlgatlon by expressing an opinion as
to whether the murder was cold-blooded
anG unprovoked, or whether it was neces-
sary in self-defense. 1t is not prejudical
to the case of the defendant, however, to
say that If he had been at home, if he can
honestly lay claim to such a habitation,
and attending to legitimate business,
this murder would not have stained the
annals of Sacramento history.
The killing OF Patrick Brannigan is the
natural result of the disreputable meth
ods of modern politics, especially as they
are practlced in large cities. The mass of
voters are too Indifferent about the man
agement of party affairs. They too often
permit the machinery and organization
OF the party to fall into the hands of dis
reputable and INSCRIPTIONS characters,
with whom they would be ashamed to
associate.
1t IS not an infrequent occurrence for
jail birds and eX-convicts to figure prom
lnently ia preliminary organizations,
primaries anu even conventions. Many
prominent and good men owe their polit-
Ical advancement to influence they would
not like to acknowledge. Every citizen
has right to go whenever and wherever
he pleases so long as he obeys the law,
put IN view of the disreputable character
OF the man it is pertinent to inquire why
big Neck'' Smith, who is supposed to
be hd6ftue of the slums of San Fran
cisco, always makes it convenient to be
IN Sacramento whenever municipal
election is to be held. 1t goes without
saying that he was not there for his
health or on legitimate business. In fact
he has no legitimate business He is
professional plug-ugly, prize-fghter
and all-round bully. For years he has
made it business to create election dis
turbances and intimidate honest voters.
He has no political convictions. His
brutal strength and blasphemous tongue
are for sale TO the highest bidder. He may
have killed Brannigan in self-defense
but the fact still remains that he had no
business there.
The murder ought to serve one good
purpose. 1t ought to cause the indigna-
ton of the people. 1t ought to result not
only in landing all such cattle as big
Neck" Smith in a felon's cell, but it
ought to drive out of public life every
man who is an accessory to the crime of
hiring bullies, bruisers and prize-fighters
to influence public elections.

ANOTHER PEST.

The English Sparrow Said to be De-
stroying the Fruit Crop.
The man who is responsible for the
English sparrow nuisance III this State
deserves no better fate than he who
first suggested the planting of carp and
catfish in California waters.
The Placer Republican says that in
various sections Of that county the Eng
llsh sparrows are making sad havoc with
the fruit buds. They pick the buds from
the trees and do not seem to eat them,
but let them drop as fast as they pull them
off, and the ground beneath some of the
trees is almost covered with fruit buds.
Nearly all varieties are attacked, but
apricot trees seem to suffer the most.
