At the session of California Council last Tuesday night, J. H. Mcguire was ini- tiated and four applications werereceived. During the evening the announcement fas made of the death of J. J. Lerri, a member of the council, one of the off, cers of Alameda County, who was killed by the powder explosion at Melrose last week. Under good and welfare there were a number of addresses and some story telling by members, and songs.
 On the night of the 16th inst. three can didates were initiated for Pacific Council.
 The same night the San Francisco Cabi- cisco Council and while the attendance of members was not as large as was ex- pected, Dr. Mulberry, the president and other officers did all in their power to make the evening an agreeable and in- teresting one, and in that they suc- ceeded.

Bradstreet's, which is absolutely
non-political, in its last issue says:
AT present the situation in the mar
ket for skilled labor is one of much
firmness. There are some strikes and
reductions in wages, and shutdOwns
mar to some extent the industrial
outlook; but these latter are, as a
rule, due to seasonable causes, and
are fully compensated for by the num-
Der of favorable features already de-
veloped or developing. A glance at
the situation reveals numerous vol

employed in various occupations this
year than We're found at work last

THE PURITAN.
h Is Doubt the Finest
Fighter I'm the Navy, Her Men
and Officers All Agree.

One of the warrant officers of the
United States monitor Puritan, which
is with the blockau:ng squadron off
Cuba, gives in a letter to a friend in his
city some interesting observations on
the Puritan's work, says the New York
Sun.
I'VE are all convinced" he writes,
that the Puritan, under the proper cir
cumstances, is the finest fighting boat
in the navy; but she has her ~restric-
tons. There is no question about the
high defensive qualities of the mont
tor type for harbor work. Our low free
board makes us d small target for the
enemy, and our l2-inch gun make us
very dangerous to an enemy. Capt.
Harrington and Lieutenant Commander
j. Russell Seifridge have worked our
crew into fine condition., and there is
no question as TO the loyalty of the men
or their skill with the big guns. Our
low freeboard, however, precludes any
possibility of our coaling at sea with
safety, and as ourcoal capacity is com
paratively small. unless . lee is af-
forded, so that the monitor may open up
her deck seuttles with safety. we must
return to a coaling station. Such was
the case off Matanzas. where there is
an open sea to windward and no protec-
ton. The Puritan did good work al
Matanzas, as you probably know, ana
our guns were very effective. I notice
that some of the newspapers comment
ed on the fact that our fire was slow.
This was according to orders to prevent
waste of ammunition. We didn't want
the gun captains to throw away shots
carelessly in their frs: brush. Every
thing on board moved like clockwork,
and our men behaved splendidly."

English Diet.

A London correspondent of a London
paper says: English diet affords an
example of the antiquated mode of life
in England. Nothing could be more
primitive than the preparation of Eng
lish dishes. They consist of a huge, fat
piece of bullock, sheep or pig. If the
meat is lean. as in poultry. fat is sup
piled by punches of bacon. The motto
of these conservative islanders is:
What our f~orefathers did and flourished
on is good enough for u.s."

The wool market in Montana this
year opens well. There seems to be
a well-founded conviction that it is
going to reach still better figures.
Montana fieeces are the most desir-
able of all the territory woods, and
from the prices current in Oregon and
Utah for this seasons crop of wool
the sheep man of Montana is justified
in expecting a considerably better
price than he has received for a good
many years. Our woods of the choicer
grades are to a considerable extent
used in place of tie foreign woods,
and there will be keen competition to
get them. The w~oolgrower OF North
ern Montana can afford to be pretty
independent this year when it comes
to fixing prices. In Boston n feel
ing is general that higher prices must
be looked for in the near future, and
the Montana wool man, after a good
many years of hard times, is likely to
be able to sell his product for a fair
price this year. The outlook is ex-
ceedingly satisfactory from a wool
growers point of view.-Great Falls
Tribune.

PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY.
The Pleasant Way I'm Which the
Sentiment Is Taught the
Youth In school.

In Germany they teach patriotism in
the popular schools; in England we do
hot-at any rate, not officially, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. In Germany the
kaiser's birthday, the anniversary of
Sedan, and other national landmarks
are celebrated in the national schools.
They have feasts and music and eXcur-
sions; but the children have kept clear
iy before their eyes the reason for their
rejoicings. Indeed, the law impresses
upon parents and children that all VOL
untary absence from these school feasts
is an offense. There were parents who
kept their children back. especially
from the Sedan commemoration, and
this on conscientious grounds. But now
mo longer; for" says the magistrate,
''any uneNcused absence from patriotic
festivals established by the school shall!
be considered as voluntary non-attend-
ance, and inspectors, teachers and the
authorities concerned are hereby in
structed 10 this effect"
Patriotism a Ia pedagogue, perhaps,
but patriotism none the less; and the
children of a great empire might per-
haps do well to take a leaf out of a book
made i'll Germany. Let us imagine the
establishment of the English child if he
were told that he was to have a holiday
and a fete for the sake of some great
event in our own history. But Germany
has these patriotic school feasts, and
France the emblem of the republic in
every schoolroom, because they actual
ly imagine the patriot is made as we'll
