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

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

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

. - 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.

Or In the stillness of the lonely shore.

To call their kindred comforting anew. - . '
Use well thy dead. They come to ask of thee j
What thou hast done with all this buried love,'
The seed of purer life? Or has it fallen unused
In stony ways and brought thy life no sain? .
Wilt thou with gladness In another world
Say it has grown to forms of duty done
And ruled thee with a conscience not thine

Another world! How shall we And our dead? ,
What forceful taw shall bring us face to face? j
Another. world! .What yearnings there shall

Will love souls twinned of love bring near

This living and that dead, when life was theirs?.
Or shall some stronger soul, in life revered. j

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.'

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."

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. '
