Double Sashes for Railway Cars.

In consequence of the decided addition
to the comfort of travellers of double
sashes in passenger cars by reason of the
prevention of the admission of cold air
in winter and dust in summer several
railway companies have decided to use
double windows altogether in the future,
and this conclusion has probably been
FASTENED by the fact that many of their
best day coaches and chair cars rival
special cars in the richness of their
pushes and interior decorations, and
they cannot afford to have such fittings
rapidly destroyed by the dust.
The comparative ease with which a
car fitted with double windows can be
heated in winter is also a consideration.
They not only prevent cold air leaking
in where it is not wanted, but they also

air between the warm air i'll the car and

Bathing in Paris.

All fashionable Paris is buying new
volume entitled CORRECTIONS for Wonan's
Toilet" and the publication of such a
book in France is not without signifi-
cance as a sign of how ideas are pro-
crossing in that country.
"Unhappy ages" says the author, "in
which people were ignorant of the use
of water, "a thousand years without
BATH as Michelet puts it in one of his his
torical works. Bad pestilences and other
horrible maladies desolated poor hu-
manity-in fact, only to read how the
courtiers of Louis XIV neglected their
persons makes one sick with disgust"
Even in the unwashed ages gone by
the noted beauties found out the secret
of preserving their loveliness by ablu-
tionary aids. Isabeau of Bavaria heard
that chickweed was good for the skin
and had enormous decOctiOns brewed
and bathed in them daily. Diana of
Poitiers was another Of the cleanly
coquettes and plunged into Il tub of rain
water every morning.
The Eighteenth century beauties like
wise went in for tubing, and put all
sorts of funny decoctions into the water
to improve their skin, such AS the bouil-
lion in which veal had been broiled,
water distilled from the honey extracted
from roses, preparation of almonds,
lemon juice, the milky juices Of green
barley and inseed distilled with Mexi-
can balm dissolved by the yolk of al
egg. These rather nasty sounding con-
coctions were freely used by the ladies
who summed themselves at the courts of
Louis before the revolution.
Queen Marie Antoinette made liberal
use of "tub," putting into the water
wild thyme, laurel leaves, marjory and
little sea salt. Marie Czetwertynoska.
the Russian beauty who exercised so
great an influence over Gar Alexander
I, used to bathe in Malaga wine. after
which the wine was sold to persons
about the court for their table consump-
ton without disguise as to its previous
use.-Paris Letter.

Men Should Wear Corsets.

1t may sound awful to say SO, but do
you know think that men ought to
wear cOrSets: Not steels, stiff whale
bones and strong iacings and all that,
but something to remind them that nat
uTe intended them to stand straight, and
that they should lay claim to a sugges-
ton of a waistline. When man gets
to be 80 CT "a little more he goes all to
pieces in looks. unless he is made Of un-
common metal. At 80 man is married
or gives up the idea. Whatever his con-
dition. his main object in life is to take
comfort. He takes comfort.
In Il year or two his shoulders, that
were firm and square, take on pathetic
droop. The coat that was buttoned up
with so much pride and showed off the
symmetrical back and waist in such fine
lines is apt to swing open, the smooth
front becomes a wrinkled nonentity, and
that waist line. that was SO symmetrical,
is lost in what Is called stomach" l
know some men take great pride in that
comfortable looking stomach. 1t does
show that life is worth the living, but it
also proves that a man is getting on in
years, and each year adds several inches
to the waist measure, and-and-it isn't
graceful if it is comfortable
Now, a corset or band. say eight or
ten inches wide, made with heavy cords
stitched in solidly to give tirmness, in
the front several pieces of silk elastic
tape and the back provided with buckles
and straps. would not be uncomfortable
to wear and would be q support for the
stomach that cannot stand too much
comfort without /. sacrifice OF symmetry
and grace.-Chicago Herald.

They've Lost Millions.


A thief undiscovered belongs as much
to the outfit of a phenomenally famous
singer as her Indispensable rouge pot.
The lack Of Il perfect shape does not sig
Nifty, but the lack of Il thief would be
ruin. Adelina Patti has been robbed by
night and by day, in Europe ana Amer
ica, on shore and at sea, in hotels and on
railway trains. CarlOtta Patti and Chris
tine Nilsson and-but why mention
names.
An incredible amount of diamonds
and jewels have disappeared in this way
without ever turning up again. But the
lady artists are forgiving. They do not
prosecute the thieves. They do not go
to the police. They do not offer rewards.
Perhaps they know that the gold in their
throats can easily be coined, and that
their ripping notes can soon be changed
into rows Of pearls. They are easy go
ing and soon forget their loss. A royal
present to a lady artist which does not
get stolen has missed it's object, and
cases have indeed occurred where pres
ents which We're never given were stolen.

Machinery for Rapid River.

Slowly but surely the Salmon
river country is developing into
prominence, and few years hence
the settlements along that stream
will be as full of population, enter
prise and wealth as the Danube in the
old country. Already the newcomers
in the Rapid river mining district are
moulding the chaotic elements Of
wealth into durable form, and in the
adjoining districts the era of progress
has also begun. There are two
mining companies operating in Rapid
river district, each Incorporated by
Spokane people for million dollars.
One of these companies intends to
have 60, 900 pounds Of mill machinery
on the ground early in August, and
by the spring Of '93 it is expected tc
be running and turning out regular
shipments of bullion. A large
number of people are going in there
this season to prospect, and future
discoveries are more than likely tc
enhance the excitement which pre-
walls now in regard to the richness o.
the mineral deposits already un
covered. We intend to visit thu
camp this summer and write up ou
observations in the f. P. Th,
accounts coming in from that distric
are more and more glowing as tim
passes. -Grangeville Free Press.

For Idaho Surveys.


In the senate last Wednesday the
Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill was discussed. The
matter Of so amending a certain
section that the surveyor general
would receive $4,000 for the clerks
in his Office instead of $4,000, called
forth considerable objection, but
earnest work on the part of Senator
Dubois silenced all opposition, and
the amendment was agreed to.
In brief speech Senator Dubois
said that, according to the report OF
Congressman Holman, two acres of
unsurveyed Idaho land had been
taken up to one which had been
surveyed. In other words one-half
of our people were living upon lands
to which they could not secure title,
About 10,799,017 acres had beer
surveyed and 21, 446, 800 had beer
taken up. In addition to that were
those grants of land which th'
government gave us and which w
cannot have surveyed because w
have not appropriations for the offic
work. Settlers were coming into th
state and were taking up the lands
depriving the state not only of tn
taxes which it would collect when th
lands were surveyed, but deprivini
the state of the opportunity to TAX
up the best lands for governmen
purposes. Statesman.

CALLED TO COEUR D'ALENE 4!
The Weiser Militia Ordered
to the Scene
Of the Great Mining
Troubles.

Great excitement prevailed Monday
evening when the rumor, which de-
veloped into the truth, began to
spread about town that the Weiser
militia were to 60 to Occur d. Alene
at once. 1t was supposed the mining
troubles had quieted down and the
news of the conflict up there fell like
bomb-shell in our midst. Soon af-
ter this news, at $50, the following
telegram was received:
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, |

To Capt. Geo. Degitz:

Then there was hustling among the
boys to get the company together at
the armory. About 8 o'clock the
second telegram was received, as fol-
lows:

Captain Degitz will have his men under
arms, ready to move tomorrow morning.
Ammunition will be issued at the train.

BOISE CITY. IDAHO.
Capt. Degitz: Clothing was shipped tc
you to-day Blankets and equippage will
be furnished by quartermaster on train.

The company was then allowed to
90 home, with strict instructions te
reappear at the armory at 9 O'Clock
the following Tuesday morning
The following morning showed only
one deserter who had skipped thu
town. The balance of the company
with the exception of Frank Harri
and Harry Durbin, who were excused
by the captain, met and donne'
their uniforms and spent the forenoon
in drill. At 2 o'clock the boy
