A Wife Il a Luxury.

The English law courts have form
ally decided that wife is not neces-
ity Of life, but luxury. There have
been good many breach of promise
suits before the courts lately, and in
two prominent ones the defense was
set up that the contract was invalid,
because the contracting parties were
minors when it was made, and that no
contract made by minor is binding
at law, except it be for "necc 5sity. !"
In enc cise the defense failed, because
the contract was renawei after the

Whore Six DAKs Make a Week

to run into Chatham Island once
when disabled, and was amused to see
the way IN which the people accepted
their fate in regard to the jumping OF
time. The little island is just on the
line Of demarkation between times
and dates. In order to keep right
with the remainder of the world it is
necessary 10 skip from noon on Sun
day to noon on Monday every Weeh
in the year, and hence the joke that
it IS possible to spenl a whole day at
dinner without eating an average
meal. The island is so near the ant
arctic region that days and nights
are altogether mixed up from the idea
of an ordinary individual, but this
plan of jumping the afternoon of one
day and the morning of the next so
as to keep in line with the almanac IS
something so ridiculous that none
but a saaiaring man eau appreciate 1T,
or understand the necessity. st.

After this is thoroughly dry, cut a
round hole in the center OF the table,
just large enough for deep tin can
to be fitted in. Fill this with water
and then place your flowers within.

81 didn't think l should feel so bad

''He is the wreck, you remember, .
whispered Jennie.
A long pause.

''but never realized how lonely the

"Oh, how lonely" echoed Jennie
"Now 1 must return to my business

just then we very distinctly heard

just then Jennie and stepped UP
another peg, and there was that little
old maid, who would not marry tha
best man that ever lived, hugged close
to the mans breast who wouldn't
marry the best woman that ever lived,
not even to save her life. We came
away then, but my opinion is that
they remained in Just that position till

later.

Jennie.

"Why, Miss Kent, what makes your

sylvanis, Ohio and Indiana--snd the
states have grown so rich that they can
afford to spend money on politics. They
easily dragon into their support all the
small farmers who own from 40 to zoo
sheep by picturing to them the evils
that will occur il wool is placed upon
the free list.
What they fear is that farmers will
cease breeding for wool and go to rails
ing Southdowns, Ootswolds, Shropshires
and Leicestershires, breeds of sheep that
are more valuable for the shambl
than for the loom. Once let that con-
dition of affairs become inaugurated,
and their high prices for merino bucks
will become vague tradition. Thus it
is that extremes meet, and that these
breeders OF rams. who are always clam
oring for pure wool, are having their
lobbyists in congress to work hsnd-in-
glove with the shoddyites, who foresee
the destruction OF their traffic if wool
once goes on the free list.
The experience OF the past 20 years.
at least in the Pacific coast states, is
that tariff on wool helps nobody. In
1871 wool was worth % to 20 cents, with
a moderate tariff. That winter congress
advanced the tax nearly 40 per cent, and
yet, in spite OF that, wool was down to
IL to 10 cents, according to quality, in
the spring of 1872. The high prices of
the previous year had glutted the mar
ket with Argentine and Australian wool,
and prices fell. The Mckinley bill
was terrible blow to wool msnufac-
turers in this state, as it shut out of the
market the Australian wool used for
warp. Oregon and Washington being
water-power states. and having no steam
fuel to buy, could pay the tariff on wool
from Australia and still make a profit.
Wool holds it's head up far above the
tariff. Its price lie simply matter of
supply and demand.

A DEEP-sEA HARBoR.

The fact that this coast lie occasionally
visited by strong gale that renders
shipping unsafe in our open roadsteads
should be strong argument in favor of
congress supplying us with a deep-sea
hsrbor as soon as possible. All the
marine disasters we have ever had at
any of our landings or anchorages would
have been avoidsbls If we had good
deep-ses harbor on this coast, and that
such hsrbor can be secured by the ex-
penditure of $4,00O,0OO makes it mex
cusable that congress should longer de-
lay in making the necessary sppropris-
ton and commencing the work.
Between San Francisco and San
Diego. a stretch of over 500 miles, this
coast is not provided with a natural
harbor where vessels OF deep draft can
be secure against heavy storms. Yet
there are number OF points, especially
along the southern coast, where safe
harbors could be constructed at cost
ridiculously small when compared with
the stupendous advantage they would
be to commerce. Los Angeles possesses
claims upon the government for deep
sea harbor that ought not to be ignored.
1t is the center of vast and growing
interior trade, and its marine commerce
is only second on this coast to that of
San Francisco. In addition to these
important factors, we occupy the place
on the Pacific coast from which starts
the shortest line OF railroad across the
continent, from ocean to ocean. This
alone is q tremendous factor in our
favor, and with deep-sea harbor here
we could shorten the time between the
Orient and Europe by several days.
With Il city of at least 10000 inhsbi-
tants and back country which is I'M
surpassed for the richness OF it's soil,
and extensive enough to support pop
ulation of two or three million, the
maritime commerce Of a safe port
here would become of stupendous pro-
portions. No other government in the
world would leave so important part
of it's country as this is to depend upon
roadstead anchorages and open landings
for the accommodation of it's deep sea
vessels, when it could provide them a
secure harbor at 80 slight cost. We
have, unfortunately. not had the
influence in congress that we ought to
have had, or we would have long since
been attended to in this particular.
The political power of the populous
states has been directed to the advance
ment of their own immediate interests,
and treated us with neglect and indiffer-
ence aB if we were fsr-of province.
Millions and millions of dollars have
been wasted upon impossible harbors in
the lake states, while mere modest ex-
penditure judiciously used on this coast
would have been attended with the
most benefcent results to commerce
and immensely aided in the upbuilding
of the country.
