! Apropos Of the relative merits of
/ wives of English and other nationalities
which have just been discussed in your
I columns, | may draw the attention of
your readers to the complaint which Is
made in an amusing and interesting ar
ticle published by a Partisan contem-
porary that the daughters of the French
peasantry now undergo 50 much in
struction at school that they are loath
to cOndescend to the performance OF the
duties of the household and the farm,
to which their mothers and grandmoth-
ers before them devoted the whole of
their time and attention, says a Paris
letter.
The writer sketches a picture of a
'model housewife" whose home is q
pattern OF comfort. and whose garden,
eggs. butter and cattle are the best in
all the country round. Her daughter
comes back from school, and is asked
by her mother to take a hand 1t the

she has a novel to finish. Then, too.
the water will spoil her skin. Soon
afterward she is requested to boil some
milk, but again she declines declaring
that the fire will damage her complex
ion. The village life IS intolerable to
her, and she wants an easy time
and good wages in town. She dis
gusts her mother and is dis
gusted in her turn. and finally
she resolves to leave her home on the
following day aud try her luck else
where, The moral which the writer
while raising a laugh-wishcs TO point
is that all the education TO which cOun-
try girls are now treated IS gradually
diminishing the strong race OF French
menageres and replacing 1T b. frivoi-
Gus generation Of denoiselIes, who do

A Close Call.

Mr.. j. T. Blaize, an extensive real estate
dealer in this city, narrowly escaped one o
the severest attacks of pneumonia while in
the northern part of the state during the re-
cent blizzard. Mr.. Blaize had occasion te
drive several miles during the storm and
was unable to get warm, and inside of ar
hour after his return he was threatened
with severe case of pneumonia, or lung fe-
yer. Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got a bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large doses.
He says the effect was wonderful and that IN
a short time he was breathing quite easily.
he kept on taking the medicine and the
next day was able to come to Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply won.

LIABLE TO BE Law SUIr.-It will
be remembered that about two years
ago the Corvallis board of trade or.
dered 10000 pamphlets printed for
advertising Corvallis and Benton
county. The order for the printing
was sent to Portland house and in
due time the pamphlets were printed
and delivered. The printing amount
ed to some 1915, of which all but
$40 was paid. This $14O remains
unpaid, Notwithstanding that numer-
GUS requests "please remit" addressed
to the president, for the reason that
the Corvallis board of trade has not
been In existence for more than a
year. But printers, as rule, are per-
sissent fellows, and they have to be,
if they get what they are justly en-
titled to. w. H. Hairless, the late
president, received letter from the
Portland firm to the effect that if the
money was not forthcoming at once,
suit would be instituted against each
individual member of the board for
their portion of the amount, which
would amount to a trifie over So.

CITY I4HPRO VEMENTS.

In the few short articles written in
relation to the city charter and public
improvements the writer has not en-.
deayored to take an outside view, OF
to create a picture in darker colors
than the subject required, but has with
held much that would have made a
stronger showing and perhaps deeper
impression had not other reasons sug.
gested the treatment adopted.
1t is no chlld's play to wlestle with
the problems arising in the govern.
lnent of city. The more perplexing
too it becomes when efforts of econ
omy and success is the aim, at the
same time having large majority of
the citizens feeling at ease under
their management. So, when we read
OF the various projects the city coun-
Gil is empowered to furnish to its con-
stltuents, we are astonIshed a5 the
daring of its ambition. There are
those among us who neither see, nor
care for either difficulties, OF impedi-
ments, who talk as glibly and act as
If they had been running municipal
governments for many years it is,
however, to the successful men we
look for that which is the safest, the
best and the most required. And no
doubt many of those last mentioned,
have often cogltated upon the better
ment of things Pertaining to the city
of what to do, OF how to do it, have
become wearied before satisfactory
solution could be obtained.
An eminent writer recently CRITICS
ing the municipal government of the
city of New York, says: "In a heathen
land three things are supposed to be
the pillars of a moderately decent gov
ernment They are, regard for human
life; justice, criminal and civil, and
good roads," The first two of the
propositions we are not now con-
cerned, but the roads, we would it
were otherwise.
Of the roads, the writer has often
pondered over the difficulties in the
way which are, the great extent of
territory to the population, the great
width of the streets, absence of mate
rial for curb and gutter, of expert la
Dor with its high rate of remuneration
and of the utter impossibility OF get
ting what you expect and what you
pay for.
The difficulties above mentioned
may lastly be overcome with resolu-
ton, and good management would
suggest one thing at a time, and if
we inquire of our citizens what we
most need. the answer most emphat
cally would be "good Streets" R.

by the resignation of J. D. Clark, and
the other to serve the regular three

EXPLOSION AT SEA.
COAL STEAMER BLOWS UP.
ierrlhc Explosion on the Ship St Charles
A%o Miles from Yaquina.--Nar-
row Escape of the Crew

Intelligence was received in this
city yesterday that while the En-
glish ship st. Charles, laden
, with coal and explosives from
Nanaimo B. G. enroute for San
Francisco, was in latitude As de.
grees % minutes north, longitude
126 degrees west, Or about 100
miles west of Yaquina at S O'Clock
ON the morning of the 18th a ter
rifle explosion occurred, serious
ly lnjuriug the captain, second
mate and two seamen. The shin
took fire Immediately after the
explosion, and the captain and
crew consisting of eighteen men
barely had time to make their
escape in the small boats. After
being tossed about at sea for two
days and one night they succeeded
in making a landing at Cape Foul
weather about five miles north of
Newport late Wednesday evening.
The captain was taken ashore in a
dying condition, and the crew
were destitute and objects of pity.
They were taken under the care
of the lighthouse keeper and
given as comfortable quarters as
possible, word was Immediately
sent to Newport for medical assis-
tance, and every thing possible
was done for the comfort of the
unfortunates.
The st. Charles is registered to
carry 1900 tons. Her cargo con-
sisted mainly of coal for John
Rosenfeldt & Son of San Francisco
the value of which is estimated at
from $4,000 $4,000. The vessel
and entire cargo will be total
loss.
Later Thursday evening the res
cured crew were still at the cape,
the injured seamen are in criti-
cal condition, there is little hopes
of the captains recover. The ex-
plosion was caused by coal gas.
Some of the, crew had occasion to
go down in the hold of the vessel
and as they opened the hatch way
the gas ignited from their lights
causing the explosion.
