AToniA is destined lo become a
largo and prominent city in the near
future, and while no one can prevent
tins, yot every one can do something
to ltneleu the day, and the more
united the effort, the sooner -will the
result be nltaiued.
Gekm.vnt shows a commendable
spirit in proposing to erect a monu
ment in memory of her sailors who
perished in the hurricane at Samoa.
Well may the query be raised why the
Tinted States cannot do the same
thing for the brave Americans who
also perished there.
CnoiiBUA is raging in Yokohama
and other places in Japan, as evi
denced by the latest news from there.
In China, people are selling members
of Uieir famih to save them from
'arvuiE, but even this is not a strange
thing for Chinese, as mothers and
futhorc often sell their own daughters
for purposes of prostitution. And yet
-ome of our eastern friends often
wouder vh we are opposed to Chinese
lnnmgraiioii to the .Pacific const.
Axong the cranks of these latter
days a "miracle doctor" in Galicia is
certainly entitled to a place in the
ftut rank of that vast army. He pre
cnbed as a cure for typhus fever the
burniag of the bones of a Jew in the
Indent's room. His benighted fol
Iwere dug up Jewish children from
their graves and burned the bones.
The "doctor" was given five months in
prison to ruminate on his foolish at
tempt to fool . other fools. Bead the
article iu this issue, on another page.
Afstkaija pays yearly a subsidy of
$12Ti.0O0 to the line of steamers be
tween that country and this, yet the
1'uitcd States pays the same line only
7.000 annually. Naturally enough
Australia demands that we pay as
much as tho. or their subsidy will
lx stopped entirely, and then the
steamers Anil be withdrawn. Uncle
Sam is surely as well able to pay one
half of the total subsidy which would
1k 100,000 as is Australia to pay a
like amount, and it should be done, :is
a matter of national pride if for no
oilier reason.
Amid all the numerous strikes on
nearly every great railroad line in the
rnitod Slates. J lie Southern Pacific
has been :s free as any. General
Manager Townc, now one of the vice
presidents, roe fiom the osition of
ltrakeman. and understands fully the
m silts mid claims of the men, from
ivrsonal experience. To his able and
judicious management, the success of
tliat great corjMiralion with its thous
ands of miles or lines, and its immun
ity from strikes is doubtless largely
attributable. Kven the impending
strike by the hrakemen will doubtless
be averted by his pleasant and uni
versally jnecessrul methods.
The Taeoma Kcics, (-peaking
tr the availibility of Green river water
for city use aays: "There might be
an ingredient in the water that would
lc detrimental to health. This
wouldn't be a serious objection to us
Democrats who can do without water
in a pinch, but the Prohibitionists and
the Mugwumps, what would become
or them? Without them we should
lack the humorous side of life and
after all, that is the real leaven of ex
istence. Besides there are some who
can't afford perfume after a bath, and
it is highly desirable that the water
for bathiug pnroses should not have
to go through a sieve. Just lo make
assurance doubly sure suppose a carc
rnl analysis be made of Green river
water.'

I AX ASTOKIA TABLE
One bright summer morning a beau
tiful speckled Trout lay in a deep,
dark hole in Bock creek and chatted
ploasanlh with his friend, the Sucker,
and tried lo cheer him up a little.
'It makes me feel sorry,' said the
Trout, "to see you going around with
your lip hanging down that way like
n motherless colt Why don't you get
a move on and eniov yourself.
There! See that nice fat grasshopper?
Watch me take him in," and the
Xtout made a herce rush at the un
fortunate hopper and was wound up
in -Mac s reel.
The Sucker mournfully shook his
head and told an Eel who had come
up that he knew the Trout would not
last leng: he was too fresh. "You
never see mo talcing any such chances:
now here comes a worm there is no
danger in worms. Watch me pick it
up," and the Eel saw him stretch his
mouth a foot or two and pick up a fat
worm, in wnose carcass was niutlen
one of Grandpa Hess' ringed Kerby's,
and he too left the wetness.
Loft all alone the Eel fastened to a
wash boulder aud fell to meditating,
until after considerable effort he ar
rived at the following
meral:
It makes little difference whether
one is a Trout or a Sucker, there is
always something lie will bite at
And if you can't catch a person with
one bait, uso another. xfchaiem

PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.
The Rosy anil Bnxom Women of the
Rural District.
In the remoter districts, away from
the villages, among the peaty bogs
and the hawthorn hedges, the roses
bloom red in the cheeks of the Irisb
peasant girL However she manages
it on the stirabout and potatoes, she
grows lush and vigorous and full of
sap, like the green tilings that fill the
island.
The colleen bawn is straight, she is
not infrequently tall, her shoulders
are broad, her waist large but supple,
and she lool:s as strong as a young
man. Her hair is brown, perhaps
with a shade of chestnut; sometimes it
has a ripple in it, but of tencr it is lus
terless and straight, and, very possi
bly, so heavy as to be almost mop-like.
I have seen peasant girls with braids
that were like clubs, the tresses when
unbound reaching the knees.
Her forehead is low, and the wave
of hair is drawn back to leave it un
covered; her eyes arc frank and blue,
her complexion clear, though exposure
to the weather has darkened it and
put into shades of yellow-brown, and
the red in her cheeks is as deep as in
the poppies that brighten the wheat
fields. It is a splash of color, daring,
as if an artist had Hung it on a dark
spot of his canvas more brilliant than
one ever sees in the drier climate of
what they are here pleased to call
"the states,' spreading its warm
blush quite from cheekbone to chin.
The peasant girl is often fine look
iugsometimes superlatively handsome,
but never what an American would
consider any delicacy of beauty. She
has few of the soft curves of more
luxuriously nurtured young woman
hood. Her arms arc not rounded; they
look muscular and hard. Her bust is
fiat, like an Amazon's. She is not
dimpled, but she is sturdy, jis be
comes a scion of the ''foinest pisanthry
in the world." Her greatest charm is
her fresh and splendid vitality.
She wears a red kerchief over her
head or folded .about her shoulders,
and a petticoat of brown or dark
blue sluir, which she weaves herself
and which stops Ifalt way between
her knees and her ankles. Six days
in the week her feet are brown ;uid
bare. Thev are largo feet and look
belter in their naked shapeliness than
when disguised for Sundays and holi
days under coarse yarn stockings
these she knits and the cheap laced
shoes with the peculiar combination
of thick soles and high heels, which
conio lo the small market towns. For
defense against the weather she has a
long black cloak, gathered at the neck
and provided with a hood, and which
is probably ihe most characteristic
article left of ihe old peaant costume.
The Los Angeles Express says: In
boring an nrlcsi.m veil in Lompoc
valley a log was bliuck 150 feet below
the surface. This indicates that the
valley must have bi.cn a very deep la
goon. This log is now about seventy
feet below sea level, The mystery iu
this, at what period was this an arm of
the sea, sufficiently deep to float the
largest sized ships, eight miles back
from the ocean?
j-gl have brought myself, by long
meditation, to the conviction (said

It is said that on the Mexican Gulf
railroad in Mexico the ties are made
of the finest mahogany and the bridges
built of marble. These materials were
the cheapest to be had, since they were
