The Scenery of Washington.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. "a, 1899. The
scenery of Western Washington alone is
''worth going many miles to see." West
ern Washington comprises about one third
the entire area of the State and is sepa-
rated from Eastern Washington by the
Cascade range OF mountains, which stands
barrier between two climates almost as
distinct as those of the North and South.
Eastern Washington is a prairie coun-
try subject to the extreme of heat and
cold, while the climate of Western
shington--controlled by the Japan cur
RENTS mild and equable. The mercury
never drops to zero, and s. in the shade
in summer is unusual. The nights are
always cool and restful. Generally the
atmosphere of this section is charged
with smoke from clearing Of lands, thus
obscuring much of any but nearby objects
Fortunately for the present brisk travel
from the east, the air is cool, clear and
transparent as one could wish. The Gas
cade range, the Olympia in the West; the
far-spreading Sound; magnificent and
eternal snow capped Rainier standing
nearly fifteen thousand feet above the sur
rounding country, and only seventy five
miles away to the south, while in the
north and less than fifteen miles from
the northern boundary, is Mt Baker,
another snow-clad peak-a panorama of
beauty unsurpassed, as we think, any
where.
Majestic Snoqualaie Falls are 80 miles
East of the city, now being harnessed to
the city's industries. These falls drop a
sheer distance of 270 feet and form the
subject of many magnificent piece of ar
lists canvas.
The forests of Washington are among
the grandest of earth, and the giant trees
but typify the magnificent scale on which
nature seems to have endowed the leading
features which combine to make Washing
Union.
One does not need to go hundreds of
miles North of here to see wonderful gla-
ciers. About Rainier, Mt Baker, and
throughout the Olympics, glaciers abound.
True, one may not sail along their base as
with the ice piles of Alaska, but The adj
venturous climber finds them plentiful and
grand.
Just now the "Mazamas,'' a party of
mountain climbers are exploring the
wilds of Lake Chelan, up among the Okla
hogan mountains. The original mazama
is a species of mountain goat, from which
the society takes its name. To become
member, applicants must first qualify by
climbing to the summit of some snow
clad peak. In ascending Mt Rainier two
years ago prominent member fell over
precipice and was dashed to death. This

=5 sssss the Of 1Mzzzz7w
Names Vital Statistics.

Registrar A. G. Young of the State
bureau of the registration of vital statis
tics has issued his annual report for the
year 1897. The number of births regis
tered for that year is PSI smaller than in
the preceding year. The number of
births recorded in each of the registra-
ton years thus far, 1892 81, is, respective
ly, II, 02S, IA, 604, IA, 607, -, 40, Is, 429,
and -, AZ.
The number of marriages (number of
couples married) in 1897, was 1881, a
number 246 smaller than in the preceding
year. The number of marriages register
ed in the State in each Of the years 1892
81 is, respectively, 5,726, 5, 795, 5,594,
5, 729 and 1881. In these figures we
have undoubtedly, an disqualification of
the fact which has been worked out in
other States and countries, where the
statistics of longer series of registra-
ton years is available, that the marriage
rate is influenced very largely by the
financial stress or prosperity of the
country.
In 1891 the number of deaths recorded
in the State was II, 23G, number go
larger than that Of he deaths registered
in the preceding year. The number of
deaths in each year thus far recorded, is:
in 1892, II, l4I; in 1898, II, 1874; in 1894,
II, OH; in 1895, 10, 464; in 1896, 10, 626; in
1897, IL, 23G An investigation of the
causes which have contributed to the in
crease in the general mortality of the
State reveals the fact that it was due
chiefly to an increase in the number of
deaths from influenza, pneumonia, dis
eases of the nervous system, and diph-
iberia.
AS the total number of births register
ed in Maine in the year 1897 was Is, 143,
and the number of deaths was II, 236, the
natural increase of births over deaths
was 3, 906.
In the year 1896, II, 142 births were
registered in the State, including still
births IA, OBS in 1892, IA, 604 in 1898, IA, :
607 in 1874, Is, 430 in 1895, and Is, 429 in
1860
The number of living children born was
IA, 430, and the number of still births was
712.
Of the whole number of living children
of which the sex was certified, 1892 were
males and 1927 were females. In II
births, the sex was not stated. For each
100 girls born there were 1923 boys

ELEPHANT Hunting In Nubin.

When the elephant is pursued on foot
it is invariably sought in the depths of
the forest. where it has retired for shell
ter from the monday sun and also for
the short repose it takes during the "a
hours. The hunter. having tracked his
quarry to its retreat, is obliged to use
the utmost stealth in approaching it.

sound
The difficulty of moving through a
dense. thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might be produced by nature. such as
the stirring of the branches by light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf, is greater than can be realized
by any one who has not tried it.

Luxury. Right or Wrong.

Discussing the right or wrong of
luxury in The North American Review
Professor T. Spencer Baldwin, a Boston
university authority on economies,
comes to these conclusions:
.'There are justifiable and there are
unjustifiable luxuries.
I'm general it may be laid down that
a luxury which contributes to the eff
cheney of the individual in the widest
sense and which does not impose on So
ciety for the satisfaction of its demands
an unwholesome and degrading form of
labor is perfectly justifiable.
This sanction of luxury is not to be
stretched TO cover unlimited self in
diligence The part played by rational
self sacrifice in the development of char
acter is not to be overlooked. Constant
self indulgence is demoralizing.
But in general Il man has right to
spend money for anything that enriches
and diversifies his life. and thus aids in
the developing and rounding out of his
personality, provided the labor that is
required for the production of the arti
cles in question be agreeable and innoc
uous.
''On the other hand, a luxury that de-
moralizes the individual or calls for
noxious form of labor is unjustitiable .

How TO Quiet a chiIa.

A little girl frequently fancied she
ziw bears and tigers whenever she hap
pened TO awake in the night Presuma-
bly, she dreamed of some danger, may
be on account of having eaten too much
for supper or having eaten the wrong
kind OF food. At any rate. she frequent
" awoke crying in the night. and in
her fear interpreted the dim outlines of
a dress or a curtain as Il fearful beast
that was about to attack her. The best
thing to do is TO deal tenderly with such
fancies and remove the child as far as
possible from the object that has caused
her excitement
Then. if you can do so without dis
turbing the other children, light the lamp
and let the light fall full on the thing
that has given rise to her fear. Pc slow,
and express your opinion first as a kind
of preliminary assumption that the bear
may after all be mammals skirt or the
curtain moving in tire draft. and when
this comforting probability is under
stood follow up your advantage and de-
clare it to be Il good joke that harm

Cranky Vessels.

Even the best designers never know
how their ships will turn ont when
completed. They may break all records
for speed, or they may be so slow As to
be entirely useless-a mere waste OF
money
Years ago two mud barges Were built
at San Francisco, exactly alike. con-
structed from one design. One of them
was quite commonplace, but the other
raced every barge in the bay and beat
them all; raced every yacht on the Pa
cific coast and beat them. She was so
fast that yachts were built on her lines,
but turned ont mere barges for sloth.
Nobody could see how this craft differed
from her crawling sisters or from the
yachts
In 1851 the America went to Cowes.
England, and raced for prize cup.
She won that trophy. and then an Eng
lishman bought her and improved her
hull, stiffening it with knees through
out. After that she lost every race.

a Sister Lost.

AT one time, when two Cheyennes got
to gambling, one lost, and luck seemed
TO be against him. After he had lost
every piece of property he had, in des-
reIation he put up his sister and lost
her. This aroused great indignation
through the tribe. but no one intimat-
ed that the unfortunate girl should not
go and live as the wife of the man who
had won her in game of cards.
Over 20 years ago the writer was su-
perintendent of the Arapahoe Indian
school at Darlington during period of
five years. During this time not less
than four young Indian women came
to the school. asking admittance and
protection from marriage that was
about to be forced upon them. The pro-
lection was given. and the young wo-
men afterward married according to
their own choice. Since then these
tribes have been gradually breaking
away from their original customs until
