Battling with gales and head seas,
the trip of the Royal Mail steamship
Miowera from Vancouver and Victoria
to Honolulu was anything but pleas

vessel kept good Roadway.
Owing to the belated trains with the
English mails the steamer was unable

who was reported as having been lost
at sea went overheard, he managed

patent log was attached and then

The Cost of Building.

What it means in money TO make Il
start toward the reconstruction OF San
Francisco takes on definite expression
in the shape of estimates for the first
new structures-30 in number. which
will be under way as soon as men and
material can be assembled for the
work: S14.102. 000-over fourteen mil
lion dollars, And the total floor space
exceeds SO acres. Combined in one
vast structure the plans would equal a
building the size of the famous Palace
hotel 200 stories high. or twice the
height of the Eiffel tower.
This is only the beginning, and re
fers only to high class structures. Up
TO date about 500 applications for build
ing permits have been filed. figures
which will be largely increased as soon
as adjustment of the insurance is made.
Contracting agents report that all
buildings planned are invariably SUI
perior in class. finish and equipment
to buildings destroyed by fire.
a feature of many of the new
buildings is to be the installation of an
absolutely fireproof vault in the base
ment, which will be arranged to ac-
commodate each tenant with a separ-
ate compartment, similar to safe de-
post vaults.

Tariff Educ alton for the Farmer.

A campaign of tariff education in

the farmer many things which he sees
now only in dim outline How much
the Dingley tariff adds TO the price of
his OvercOat. of his wifes dress, of the
crockery on his table and the carpet on
his floor. is something that every farm
or and every voter ought to know be-
fore he makes up his mind whether he

the farmers of that state will have
high educational value in other states
of the west. which have been too much
in the habit of sending republicans to
congress.
Mr.. Harris has promised, in his letter
of acceptance, to show the farmers of
Kansas how and to what extent they
are robbed by the extortionate protec-
ton which the Dingley tariff extends to
the producers of every conceivable
manufactured article. He is apt to
find in the farmers of Kansas ready

Like the farmers of Iowa. Minnesota.

PRAISE FOR THE CORSET
Surgical Expert Says Use of the
Stny Is COnducive to Health.

DR.. Heather Bigg of London. a sur
spinal curvatures, in which he speaks
in high praise of the corset In the
course of an exhaustive review he
says:
The women of all dominant and civ
iliZed races always will wear and with
advantage always have worn, some
form of corset
The native Indian has learned to
grid his IOins for labor Elijah grit bis
loinS when he ran before the chariot of
Ahab from Carmel to JeZreel, pretty

ern chimes. With men. of course. it was
only the loins that were girt, and one
can still see this done by men of today
by navvies at heavy work or by sol
diers at stable duty.
"A good corset should take a very
firm hold around the hips and loins, it
should support or stay the back, it
should leave the body free from any
undue pressure across the abdomen
and the chest. and the top Of the bust
should never be allowed TO press upon
the lower end of the brcastbone.
The women of classic times did not
use corsets for fashion purposes. as
their flowing garments did not permit
them to display the outlines of their
figure. They simply wore corsets be-
cause it had been found by centuries of
experience that they We're conducive to
health and serviceable in eXertion.
But why should the whole history of
the world show that such eXtraneOuS
support is beneficial? The answer is
extremely simple. even il Darwinian.
Man is a creature built on the quadru-

instead of on two. BY morphological

Drumming With Autos.

Commercial travellers are getting so
they travel great deal by auto and
find that that mode of getting about
the country serves their purpose better
than any other. There is no waiting
for trains. and the drummer as soon as
he is through calling on the trade in
one town is ready to jump into his We
hicle and speed away to his next stop.
George Readman, an enterpriSing
drummer of Sacramento, gets about in
this way and sends out postal cards
containing a picture of him and his
auto ready for business. He mails
these to his customers and tells them
when they can expect him. And, by
the way, he seldom disappoints them.
for he finds his auto a good deal more
reliable than trains.

If the plan Of President N. B. Hamilton of the Graduate Nurses association of Birmingham materializes number of graduate nurses will be placed at the dis losal of the physicians of the city to be placed among the families where sick ness is, and where financial difficulties prevents the employment of such skillful service.
 Miss Hamilton has addressed a letter to the several fraternal orders In Bir- lningham, and set forth her plan at length She states that in case the ord-. CTS will lend aid, and the physicians of the city, the churches, and good people generally will rally to the work, the as- .,clation can place four or five nurses uside for work in poor families.
 As soon as the plan has been worked awhile this number can be increased until whenever a physician finds that family needs a skilled nurse and is un- able to pay for such necessary service, Gle can be furnished free of charge
 It is learned that several fraternal ord- CTS looks with favor on the plan, and that committees have been appointed looking towards its realization. The prom Ilent secret order men seen on the sub ,eet state htat the scheme is good one, and openly congratulate President Cum nipghani on her good intentions.
