down an opinion in the case of the Town
of Elma VS. J. J. Carney ct al, dismissing
the cause at the cost of the plaintiff.
The plans, profiles and specifications to
grade Third and Fourth streets called for
a six-inch sidewalk bench OF earth on
each side of the streets, but the town

adduced to show the extra expense de-

The Salmon Pack.

The total pack OF salmon for the Column
bia river up to the LIST inst. is 239, 612
cases, and of this 145, 500 cases have been
put up in Astoria canneries. The pack
to date, at a careful estimate, includes
100000 Chinook salmon, besides 900, 900
small fish. 1t is now certain that the
total pack of the season will amount to
from 275,0O0 to 2S2, 1000 cases, or at the
best $4,000 cases short of last year. ALI
the canneries on the lower Columbia will
this year pack fall fish. They will start
to work again on September 10 and run
continuously until November l. In addi-
ton to the river pack of silversides, work
will be carried on at Nehalem, Tillamook,
Grays harbor, Coquille and Suislaw, and
the total fall output will probably be
$4,000 cases. This will be the first year
since 1887 that fall fish have been packed
on the Columbia.

CHEHALIs COUNTY HAPPENINGS

From MontesanO Vidette:
James Arland had two ribs broken
yesterday morning by falling from load
of hay, on his farm west of the city.
John La Pointe has finished burning
a fine kiln of brick which will be used in
the construction of the city sewer

Application was made by John Candy
in Justice Bignold's court, to have his
twelve-year-old son, Ruby G. M. Candy,
sent to the reform school at Chehalis.
The boy is uncomfortable, and has COM

be unusually hardened for one of his age.

pan ana III Is admirably adapted to slim
ulate an intelligent interest IN study of
the worlds great story books.
In the storm OF recent materialistic
denunciation OF classical education, the
debt that we owe to the classical litera-
lures has been repudiated. In asserting
that Greek and Latin are OF no use in the
affairs of every day life, it is sometimes
forgotten that the Greek element has al
ready entered into the life OF every art,
should no student ever again learn the
tongue, he would still be under Greek
influence that through long centuries
has been coloring his Anglo-Saxon fiber.
In discussing this question we are not,
therefore, considering whether our COL
leges shall allow Greek to influence the
training OF the students, that has been
decided; but whether the student shall
be allowed to trace the influence, that
he feels, to its source; whether he shall
mistakenly attribute all the beauty and
strength that he finds in his native liter
AZURE to local genius, or be allowed to
find it's remoter, purer springs. That
this should depend solely upon his natu-
raj aptitude for and interest in the sub
ject, is the only reasonable answer. 1t
is not that those who even most strenu-
ously oppose the teaching Of Greek and
Latin in schools wish that America may
have no more poets nor scholars, only
money-grubbers; for they, too, have
more pride in Lowell and Bryant, CLASH
cal scholars both, than in the most sue
cessful pork-packer who learned nothing
at school that he did not put to practical
account. When it is shown that boy
need not graduate in Greek in order to
learn that he has no use for it, it will be
equally clear that it IS mistake to allow
an imaginative lad of scholarly tastes to
thirst for what is Withheld by mechani-
cal decree that in no sort fits his peculiar
requirements. The course in English, OF
which "Greek Poets in English Verse; -
is intended as a part, will serve as an
admirable test of mental bias, giving to
the non-classical student no more than
he needs for an intelligent conception o!
old world life and literature, and opening
the way for study OF the original to the
few to whom that study will be vital
necessity Of intellectual growth. Think
what such volume OF Cal efully selected
translations, accompanied By notes
tracing the influence of the Greek mind
upon writers of our purest English, would
have been to the boy Keats!

Hints on Social Calls.

In the evening a young society
man should don his best suit of
clothes and most attractive bouton-
Mere and go to call on some charm
ing young lady friend; arriving at
the house and making himself thor
oughly comfortable upon a divan
bolstered up by artistic cushions, and
as the result of an active day Of
business life which he has left be-
hind he should yawn, 'twould be bet
ter to so well disguise it as not to be
seen, But having felt all the relief
one can feel from having a good
old yawn," and having been OBJ
served by his hostess. then he
should. with all the fortitude born
of an emergency, yank himself from
the too comfortable divan and re-
solve himself by all the gods not to
yawn again. Not having done 80,
perhaps the aforesaid charming
young hostess would conclude she
had made a greater success at enter

Scottish Longevity in Las. Century.

In spite of a low scale of comfort
In Scotland during the last century
health was fairly well maintained,
and there were many cases of ex-
traordinary longevity. Govan, in
1875, was village of 224 families,
and though water was allowed to
stagnate on each side of the highroad
that served as the only street, the
people were healthy and lived long.
At Forgan, in Fife, there lived man
over ninety on st. Fort, the estate Of
Colonel Lindsay. The colonel asked
him how many lairds of st. Fort he
had seen, when he replied, six, and
! hope to see the seventh" What

"Oh, no, but suppose there would
be no objection to the coming home

II the Husband To BlameY

do not agree with so many who
pronounce the genial. pleasant hus-
band myth. He is not, but he is
sadly in the minority. Without be-
ing partial to my sex believe it is
generally the fault of the husband
that the wife lacks animation when
in his presence. A woman to be
agreeable, charming, delightful must
have an incentive, and there is no
greater. one TO be found than the in
nate feeling that the person with
whom you are thrown is waiting
anxiously for your opinion and
watches your every expression and
gesture with loving glances.
Why, have known the harshest
voice and most abrupt mannerisms
to soften and refine under such tute-
lage. Lovel 1t is all powerful-a
woman needs it; must have it to
grow and develop. What does she
care about politics if she feels that an
expressed opinion is likely to subject
her to ridicule9 What interest is she
going to take in the current events Of
the day when she must needs go away
from home to discuss them7 Strang-
est of all strange things, once upon a
time this woman's word was law,
and the man who does not now care
a ha'penny what she thinks, in days
gone by hung upon her words as if
they were so many pearls of wisdom.
Undoubtedly the women have a
right to complain, for mans indif-
ference to the woman whom he has
chosen for life partner is made to
furnish a background for two-thirds
of the word pictures drawn. The
stage seems to revel at the fact. Un-
wholesome jests are tossed about in
airiest fashion. Poetry and prose
have many a fling at the luckless
being who has wagered her all in
the chance game of matrimony only
to lose. Cincinnati Commercial Ga
