William MicheU The CiiRONict.K Las no need lo say hat its editor lias "always been in full sympathy with any effort that ever has been made to improve the grade on Tygh hill. When he lived near it and had to it Use he worked. at various times aa hard as any one to that end. Nor has he ever failed, since he took charge of this journal, as its readers will bear wit ness, to urge the claims of the people living Bouth of Tygh to assistance irora without to build-the road. But he -thinks it hardly fair that the county court should get all the blame for the fact that the road vis still in the same condition it has been in for the last twenty years. - If we are rightly in formed there is limit beyond, which the county court cannot go, in the onat ter of rendering assistance to county roads. - The , court -we believe would at any time have given some assistance, if the people themselves had exhibited emergy enough to. start the work. Tbe court was willing enough to pay for a omi.j uui ii mo iruui iliuhi oe toiu n had neither authority nor , means - to grant an appropriation sufficient to be f any appreciable benefit. The case is different now. An addition of two mills has been added to the county levy for road purposes exclusively. . This will raise a fund amounting to. between five ' And fllY thmiHflnfl Hrtllufa atA .. added to the amount anuually appro- curt to grant a handsome appropriation for the Tygh hill grade.. It is proposed to) distribute the amount among .the various road districts in proportion to their necessities as well as to the amount of taxes contributed. The court assures the writer that the funds will be ap propriated to the districts as fcoon as possible after the winter breaks. Jf he. work on Tygh' Hill will-be let by con tract under the supervision of the court. But the funds available will not he sufficient, to complete the work, after the largest contribution the court " can give, without the help of the people, in terested. They should therefore set -about taking up subscriptions in. labor nA n4nnn.. u .. . : e A:wi : 1. 1 road may be opened against the time of oiext narvest. 1 here is no time to be lost. God helps, those who help them selves, and any good sensible county court is built that way too; but the people of Tygh, Wainic and .Wapinitia must get a move on themselves now if aney want tue road by next fall. ""' "The Interstate Artificial Rain coin pany, of Kansas have entered into a con tract with parties in Tulare county, Cali fornia to produce, during a period of thirty days, an average rain fall of not lest than tlye inches, within a radius of twentvnve. utiles frem the point of operation the. amount of said rain fall to be determined bv true and fnrrwt. ruin gauges located at different points within said radius. The consideration is $3-500 and in case the party of the first part fail to bring the rain according to con tract, then, in that case they shall re ceive no compensation for any work they may have done. The proposition is fair enough on the face of it so far as. Tulare county is concerned and. the contract was only let after one of Tulare county's leading citizens had visited the home of the rain makers and had seen them at work.' - The ver best friends of the Dalles Portage railroad can scarcely hope for an. appropriation from congress for that purpose. Of course Mrl Hermann will do all he can but, he is fighting again too great odds. The vindications are that the bill will sleep in committee the sleep that knows lio waking. The Chronicle lias not the slightest concep tion that the bill will ever pass. Our only hope, therefore, is in the home leg islative. It will ome to this sooner or later and parties seeking legislative hon ors at the next election should know that no man whose record, in connection with an open river, is Suspicious 'or . doubtful can be sent to Salem from Wasco countv.

A Mistake. ,;- . .r " These curious personal reeemblaricee, which are , .no" ujMXrainori,r hav giveji rise to the popular belief that every man has his double somewhere in the world. It appears, .that the- double of a .well known professor of ;tne Bosh Medical college is a hairdresser, whose shop is situated in the immediate neighborhood of that institution, and who, well aware of - his likeness - to : the learned " doctor, carefully copies the latter in dress, bear ing and demeanor. A few days ago the professor was walking homeward from his lecture room, when a gentleman, en, tirely unknown to him, stopped rnrn, in the street, saving: "Follow me to my house. I want you to cut. my hair. 7 ' - The amiable professor, one of whose principles of life it has always been never to withhold from a fellow creature any service that it might be within bis power to render, meekly accompanied the stran ger homo and there addressed himself to the task thus imperatively prescribed to him ... , . Lacking professional ' scissors he picked up a pair of shears, used for cut ting paper, from a writing table in the dressing room to which he had been con ducted, and with . this implement . pro ceeded most -conscientiously to cut his victim's hair down to the very roots.. , : When he had cleared about half .the skull he .accidentally stuck the point of his shears into the scalp of his patient, who, springing to his feet in great pain and wrath, exclaimed:. "Can't you take care what you're about? Do you call yourself a hair dresser?" "A hairdresser!" returned the aston ished sage. "Certainly not. I am only Professor Blank, very much at your service, as yon perceive." Chicago Inter Ocean. " . - Tight Lacing Once More. It is a trite but correct remark that, as the human form has been molded by nature, the best shape is undoubtedly that which she has given it. To endeav or to render it more elegant by artificial means is to change it; to make it much smaller below and much larger above is to destroy its beauty; to keep it cased up in a kind of domestic cuirass is not only to deform it, but to expose the in-, ternal parts to serious injury. Under such compression as is commonly prac ticed by ladies, the development of. the bones, which are still tender, does not take place conformably to the intention of nature, because nutrition is necessa rily stopped, and they consequently be come twisted and deformed. - - Those :who wear . these appliances of tight lacing often, complain that they cannot sit upright without them are sometimes, indeed, compelled to wear them during all the twenty-four hours; a fact which proves to what an extent such articles weaken the muscles of the trunk. - The injury does not fall merely on the Internal structure of the body, but also on its beauty and on the temper and feelings with which that beauty is associated. Beauty is in reality but an other .name for expression of counte nance, which is the index of sound health, intelligence, good feelings and peace of mind. All are aware that un easy feelings, existing habitually in the breast, speedily" exhibit their signature on the countenance, and that bitter thoughts or a bad - temper spoil the human expression of its comeliness and grace. New York Ledger. A Negro Servant's Wit. A copy of the Salem (Mass.) Gazette of Aug. 12, 1788. contains the following anecdote: A gentleman in the state of Connecti cut regularly attended public worship on. the Lord's day with all his family; on the Sunday evening he always cate chised his children and servants on the principles of religion, and' what they heard the minister deliver from the pul pit.' L ". . - He' had a negro man who never could remember a note of the sermon, though otherwise smart. At last his master peremptorily told him he would on Mon day morning tie him up and flog him. Next Sunday evening, when interro gated, he had forgotten all. On Mon day morning his master executes his threat so far as to tie him up. . .' - - The feMow then cried out, "Oh, mas ter, spare me, for 1 remember something the -minister said." . "What is it?" said the matter. The fellow replied, suffice at this time." This much may I I - The master was so pleased with his wit that he forgave him. Too Modi Lynch Law.

Weir Mitchell, i The Greek Dress for Women. j It is not to be wondered at that those! women who care for their beauty rather1 than for style in their attire should again and again revert to the idea of in-; troducing among English ladies the graceful fashions of ancient Greece. The flowing draperies and cunning folds in which the robe of the Athenian lady was arranged formed the very ideal of a suitable attire for women, if they! studied only the art of making them-! selves appear charming. - That the Greek is really the only mode of attire suited to the form feminine ia' sufficiently attested by the fact that no' woman of taste wishing a life size statue of herself to be made would think of, arraying herself in any other fashion of clothing. How would the bodice, short or long in basque, according to the pre-! Tailing style, the full straight skirt or! the flounced petticoat, the tight laced waist and the peaked shoulders appear whenchiseled -in marble or rendered in' bronze. ; So far, however, . the demand for classic ideals has been made in vain.. The attempts to revive the beautiful fashions. of the Greek women have been desultory and infrequent, and the few ladies who have tried the experiment have either been soon tired by the extra trouble involved and annoyed by the no tice they excited, or they, have not pos sessed sufficient social importance for their example to be largely followed.' Lady, -'-- -- , - - - To Catch Those Shamming Deafness. "That no man is proof against the love of money is evidenced by the ease with" which a physician can expose a man who is feigning deafness," says Dr. Wal lace Smyth. .."A man can. pretend to be deficient in any one of. the senses, and it is sometimes necessary to subject him to an .electric shock to break down his. self erected barrier. But if a man who is pretending to be deaf is approached from behind while standing on a. stone floor or sidewalk and a coin is dropped so as to ring, he will invariably turn sharply around with a view to picking it up. . .'.'This- simple device is frequently re sorted to in countries where conscrip tion is the rule and where deafness or any other infirmity relieves a man from, army service. - I saw it tried in Paris on six alleged youths, and, much to the 'ex amining physician's amusement, it suc ceeded in exposing the sham every time." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. We Are Larger Than We Used to Be. 'It is a grea mistake," says an archi tect, "to suppose that men are becoming smaller physically. When I was in Eu-j rope,.in Munich, we gave a grand ball and the city authorities decided to let the artists have the use Of the mediaeval armor stored in the museum there.) There were only two suits of armor, which could be. worn by us. These were, the suits of giants of that time. The rest, which belonged to the ordinary sized, strong mediaeval soldiers, were too small for us.. Would not this tend, to show that we are larger than our ances-j tors were?" Detroit Free Press.
