Evening Dress at the Table.

Nothing is more common at European
health and holiday resorts. and also at
some of the more fashionable watering
places on this side of the Atlantic. than
to see men appear in the public dining
room of the hotel, got up from head to
foot in conformity with the latest fashions
in evening dress. In European resorts of
this kind the incongruity OF presenting
ones self thus arrayed is rendered all the
greater by the fact that men of the highest
social rank in Germany, England, France
and Austria do not deem it good form to
display evening suits, dazzling shirt fronts
and jeweled studs at the table d'hote of
the average hostelries. They may be seen
gathered around the common dinner table
of any frst-class hotel wearing the plain
est Of morning costumes. This may, it is
true, derangethe habits or ruffle the sus-
capabilities persons less refined than
themselves w9h whom they may casually
be brought into social contact during their
sojourn at the hotel, but this ought not
to be Of consequence.
Any violent contrast between dress
worn on such occasions are extremely of
fensive to all persons of good taste, but
the most decidedly Objectionable, from an
aesthetic point of view, is that offered by
costumes of redundant and untimely
magnificence, indicating . conviction on
the part of those who wear them that they
are socially more distinguished and inn
portant than the persons with whom cir
cumstances compel them to temporarily
associate.

Be sundered in the night of fear;

A deeper voice across the storm.
Oh, yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of i'll,
To pangs of nature, sins of will.
Defects of doubt, and taints of blood:
That nothing walks with aimless feet:
That not one life shall be destroyed.
Or cast as rubbish to the void
When God hath made the pile complete:
That not worm 10 cloven in vain:
That not moth with vain desire
Is shrivelied in a fruitless fire,
Or but subserves another's gain.
Beholdi We know not anything;
can but trust that good shall fall
At last-far of-at last to all,
And every winter change to spring.

Irrigation in whitman County.
From a Census Bulletin.

from census Bulleun.
Whitman county ID ON the eastern edge OF
Washington, south of Spokane county and north
of the Snake river, and includes the greater part
of the high, rolling lands traversed by the Pa
louise river. This stream and its tributaries rise
in the mountains Of Northern Idaho, and flow
westerly into Whitman county, where the river
turns toward the south, and, forming the SOUTH
western border OF the county, hows into the
Snake. The surface OF the country as q whole
falls from the mountainous region on the East,
slopine in general way westerly out toward
the great plains of the Columbia. It IL broken
however, by innumerable hills, rising gently
from heights of from 100 to several hundred
feet above the valleys. The drainage Channels
have been deeply carved into this high rolling
country, and the streams for the greater part of
their course are in deep .gorges. The eastern
half Of the county has an abundant rainfall,
and the yield of crops can rarely be surpassed
by that of any other area The western half, be-
ing out toward the plains of the Columbia, IL
somewhat drier, and seasons OF deficient rain
fall prove more serious. Losses. however, are
generally prevented by thorough cultivation.
The soil of the county is very rich. consisting
largely of a deep black loan. and the yield Of
most OF the cereals Is extraordinarily great No
irrigation Is required, - there 10 usually ample

Snake river are few irrigated areas. Here the
soil Is sandy and the temperature is higher than
on the upper lands, SO that crops and
fruit trees require the application OF water

are locally known a. "bars' or FLATS" They
are nor continuous, but are separated from each
other by rocky points which extend dewn to
the rivers edge. This 10 sometimes known a.

point there is difference of opinion. Water 10
usually obtained by sinking wells to a depth of
from ten to fifty feet. although in some cases it
is necessary to so deeper. At Pullman there
are reported to be eight flowing wells OF depth
of from seventy to $50 feet The cost of these
wells ranged from 50 to 81 per foot The wells
are from three to six inches In diameter, and
are reported to deliver 800 gallons per minute
There are also two flowing wells at Moscow, in
Latsh county, Idaho, about ten miles east OF
Pullman. These wells supply water mainly for
domestic purposes, none being used for trriga.

opinion to prevail that Mr.. Gladstone be-

in q home rule bill which will contain
provisions that will create such relations
between Ireland and Great Britain as may
be hkened to those which the state OF New
York has with the federal government.
Not in all respects; that would be

bill will be. That il . subject upon which
he is giving the most intense thought.
But the Independence Of New York state,
30 far as its purely local affairs are con-
cerned, and yet its indissoluble relation
with the federal government Of which it
is an integral part, will doubtless be found
to furnish fair comparison with the Glad
stone home rule bill.
