ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

Why Is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable and
attractive thing about an attractive
woman is her womanliness. Everybody
admires a womanly woman. She must
have health OF course. because without
it she would lose the brightness OF her
eyes. the fullness OF her cheeks. and
her vivacity. Real health must mean
that woman is really a woman. That
she is strong and perfect in a sexual
way, as we'll as in every other. That
she is capable Of performing perfectly
the duties Of maternity. Some are born
with what is called constitutional
weakness Some who do not enjoy
perfect health. need only take the prop
er precautions and the proper remedy
to become perfectly well and strong.

GETTING READY.

When the snow Is on the mountain
And the ice is on the pool.
And the children with a merry shout
Come trooping out Of school;
When the snowbirds Ill the gardens
And the trees are brown and bare,
And the frozen windows glisten
In the icy winter air;
While the children stand in wonder
AS they gaze within the pane.
And whisper TO each other
Santa Claus has come again"
"oh. l wish had that dollyr'
wouldn't baby like ball?"
What shall get for papa?
He's the hardest Of them all"
Il have made my gift for mamma.
Don't you think she will be glad?
7 spent all my change for grandma's.
Every penny that l had"
I'VE have made our cake already.
Bridget has il on the fire.
Sisters helping trim the chapel.
Brother Ben is in the choir"
Thus the merry sound of voices
Sends the echo far and near.
And the joyful greetings tell US,
Christmas time is almost here.
And the cold old earth grows kinder
And the snOw-fiakes gently fall,
And the very breezes whisper
Peace on earth-good will to all"

II the Chamber Of Commerce was up
to its business it would send a vigorous
protest to the postmaster general on the
subject Of the irregular mail service
now afforded Astoria There Is reason
to believe that if the department we're
advised Of the way we are being treat
ed, steps would be taken to set the mat
ter right Immediately. Astoria is too
large and important a part Of Uncle
Sans domain to be cut of the way we
now are from all communication with
the balance Of the country from early
Saturday afternoon until an uncer-
tain hour in the late afternoon or even
ing Of Monday. We are quite sure that
when the contract for the mail was let
to the present carrier it was not con-
tenrDEted that it should be subordi-
mated to the interests Of other business
agreements which the contractor might
see fit TO enter into later. This thing
OF occupying an entire day and some
times fully twenty-four hours to trans
port the mails distance Of one hun
dred miles is not 20 be tolerated in an
era Of rapid transit If the contract
under which we are now receiving our
mail is for six days service only, then
our business men should insist upon
the letting Of a separate contract with
some Of the steamboat companies
whose boats do not tie up on Sundays:
and when the old contract expires, II
it is one that has admitted of the gross
Irregularities complained of. it should
be seen to that the renewal contains

II is a misfortune that the numerous
shipwrecks on the Washington coast
should be confused or confounded with
the entrance to the Columbia river 1t
may De true that these vessels were en-
deavoring TO make the Columbia river,
but they were all far out OF their
couse, or otherwise they could not have
gone ashore on the Washington coast.
That the Columbia river is one of the
easiest OF the worlds great harbors
to enter, when the mariner knows or
takes the pains TO ascertain his where
abouts. is illustrated by the entrance
in an unusually rough sea OF the o. p.
and n. Co.'S large steamer State Of
California. at 2 a ock yesterday morn
ing. There have been no wrecks on
the Oregon Coast in the vicinity Of the
Columbia river for years, and the safety
and ease with which the largest ships
sail into the river and clear TO their
anchorage grounds in front Of Astoria,
without the aid Of tug, and some
times even without a pilot, is a constant
subject of wonder and remark by the
sea captains who frequent this port.
