SrEiarSs AND WHITMAN COUNTIES. -
Our old friend, w. l.. Montague, of
Stevens county, recently spent a day or
two in this city purchasing supplies for
the comm , Winter. He reports every
thing prosperous in that locality, and
predicts bright future for both Ste
vens AMI Whitman counties. Hun
drcds OF settlers have located there
during the present season, and still the
tide of immigration flows on, scarcely
abatod by the approach of Winter. All
kinds of stock are in fine condition.
The recent grain crop was fully up
to expectations. Many persons have
planted fruit trees of various varieties,
and it is hoped that fruit culture will,
ere long, be successfully carried on in
that 10 ton of the Territory as we'll as
elsewhere. A rost-oiiice has lately
been established ut Pine Grove, in the
Southern portion of Stevens county,
which meets the wants most keenly felt
by n large settlement, hitherto without
mail facilities of any kind Whatever
In Il few years, no doubt, that will be
one of the most desirable agricultural
sections of Washington Territory. Real

Always Nice and Clean.

Some folks are very charming at eve
ming parties, bnt surprise them in the
morning, wher not looking for company,
and the enchantment is gone. There is
good sense in the following ADVICE to
young ladies':
Yonr every day toilet is part of your
character. A girl who looks like "fury, F"
or a ''sloyen," in the morning, is not to
be trusted however finely she may look
in the evening. No matter how humble
yyur room may be, there are eight things
it should contain; mirror, washstand,
soap, towel, comb, hair-brush, nail brush
and toothbrush. These are just as es-
sential as your breakfast. before which
you should make good use of them.
Parents whe fail tc provide most of theil
children with such appliances not only
make great mistake, but commit SIN
of omission.
Look tidy in the morning, and after
dinner-work is over improve your toilet.
Make it rule of your daily life to "dress
up" for the afternoon. Your dress may
not, or need not be anything better than
calico; but with a ribbon, or some bit OF
ornament, you can have an air of self
respect and satisfaction that invariably
comes with being well dressed.
A girl with fine sensibilities cannot
help feeling embarrassed and awkward
in a ragged and dirty dress, with her
hair unkempt, should stranger or neigh
Dor come in. Moreover your self-respect
should demand the decent appareling OF
your body. You should make it point
to look as well as you can, even If you
know nobody will see you but'yourself.
