The Greek Dres. for women


1t is not to be wondered at that those
women who care for their beauty rather
than for style in their attire should
again and again revert to the idea of in
Producing 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
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 is
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-
syailing style, the full straight skirt or
the hounced petticoat, the tight laced
waist and the peaked shoulders, appear
when zchiseled 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 Dos
sessed sufficient social importance for
their example to be largely followed

"a Negro Servants wit.


A copy of the Salem (Mass.) Gazette
of Aug. 12, 17S8, contains the following
anecdote:
A gentleman in the state of Connecti-
cut regularly attended public worship
on. the Lords 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 pull
pit.
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 fog 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 fellow then cried out, ..Oh, mas
ter, spare me, for remember something
the minister said"
what is it?'' said the master
The fellow replied, '.This much may
suffice at this time"
The master was so pleased with his
wit that he forgave him.

The very best friends of the Dalles
Portage railroad can scarcely hope for
an appropriation from congress for that
purpose. OF course Mr.. Hermann will
do all he can butshe is fighting against
too great odds. The indications are
that the bill will sleep in committee the
sleep that knows no waking. The
CHRoNIcLE has not the slightest concep-
tion that the bin will ever pass. Our
only hope, therefore, is in the home leg
islative. 1t will come 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

The Interstate Artificial Rain COM
pany, of Kansas have entered into con-
tract with parties in Tulare county, Cali
fornia to produce, during period of
thirty days, an average rain fall of not
less than three inches, within radius
of twenty-five miles frem the point of
operation the amount of said rain fall to
be determined by true and correct rain
gauges located at different points within
said radius. The consideration is $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 oil
the rain makers and had seen them at
work

STATE OFFICIALS.
COUNTY oFFIClALs.

The CHRONICLE has no need TO say
that its editor has 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 as
hard as any one to that end. Nor has
he ever failed, since he took charge oi
this journal, as it's readers will bear wit
ness, to urge the claims of the people
living south of Tygh to assistance from
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 is 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 mat
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
energy enough to start the work. The
court was willing enough to pay for a
survey but ii the truth must be told it
had neither authority nor means to
grant an appropriation sufficient to be
of 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 fund amounting to between five
and six thousand dollars, and this sum
added to the amount annually appro-
priated for roads ought to enable the
court to grant handsome appropriation
for the Tvgh hill grade. 1t is proposed
to distribute the amount among the
various road districts in proportion to
their necessities as we'll as to the amount
of taxes contributed. The court assures
the writer that the funds will be ap-
propriated to the districts as Soon as
possible after the winter breaks. The
work on Tygh Hill will be let by con-
tract under the supervision of the court.
But The funds available will not be
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
and money SO that if possible passible
road may be opened against the time of
next harvest. There 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, Wamic and Wapipitia
must get move on themselves now il
they want the road by next fall.

no Catoh Those shammIng peafness.

THAT no man is proof against the love
of money is evidenced by the ease with
which physician can expose 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 man who
is pretending to be deaf is approached
from behind while standing on stone
floor or sidewalk and a coin is dropped
so as to ring, he will invariably turn
sharply around with 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. l saw it tried in Paris on
six alleged youths, and, much to the ex-
alnining physicians amusement, it sue
ceeded in exposing the sham every time :"

We Are Larger Than We Used to Be

s'It is great mistake, says an archi-
tect, Ito suppose that men are becoming
smaller physically. When was in Eu-
rope. in Munich, we gave a grand ball
and the city authorities decided to let
the artists have the use of the medieval
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 medieval soldiers, were too
small for us. Would not this tend to
show that we are larger than our ances-
tors were?"-Detroit Free Press
