Turning Up the Trousers.

l doubt not through the ages one in
creesiny purpose runs, and that is why
/ have always felt sure that there must
be some reason for the astrornary and
ascentric" behavior of people wpo turn
up the bottoms of their trousers in dry
weather. The New York exquisites who
copied the fashion from London will be
disgusted at the vulgar origin Of the
practice, for / understand that it had
its rise In the inventive brains Of some
bank clerks, who used TO go down to the
city ON those bad old "rasor back"
buses. They found that their neither
garments got frayed by rubbing against
the woodwork under the seats until one
dny one of them exclaimed, go to, and
let us turn up our trousers. And they
did so And having turned them up it
didn't seem worth while - turn them
down again, SO the custom became orys-
tallized. II only somebody would now
inform us why we wear silk hats and
have pockets In our coattails which we
never use, we might even yet be moder-
asely happy. London Figaro.

Scotch Term. and Customs.

Everybody knows that the word mac
pronounced in Gaelic machR) means
con, so that, for example, Macdonald
literally means the son Of Donald. But
it is not generally known thar when
woman is spoken Of the highlanders
substitute for mac the feminine mich,
which means daughter; that the voca-
tive of mac is vicbk eve spell phonet-
icaliy), which always replaces mao
when a person is addressed, and that
the nominative plural is michk (sons)
or claun {children). Sir Walter Scott's
ignorance of Gaelic frequently led him
into error upon these points. both In his
poetry and In his novels.
The meaning of the Gaelic word clan,
as just stated, is children, and the obe-
dience which clansmen owed to their
chief was considered by them rather as
the aHectionate obedience due by chill
dren to father than ss thatoue by sub
jects to ruler They believed them
selves 10 be Ll blood relations descend
ed from common ancestor, of which
their chief was the living representa-
tive. The olansman who hesitatod TO
save his chiefs life at tho expense of
his own WAS regarded as coward who
fed from his fathers side in the hour
Of peril. On the other hand, the chief
was expected at all tirses TO acknowl
edge the meanest Of his clan as his re-
lation and 20 shake hands with him
wherever they might happen to meet.
Subordinate TO tho chief and generally
related to him were the chieftains and
tacksmen. London Spectator.

The free trade democrats are in the
saddle this week, and they have ridden
rough-shod over their democratic coll
eagues in the house who wanted pro-
lection for the leading industries Of the r
districts and free trade for the rest Of
the country. The adoption Of amend
ments to the Cleveland tariff bill, abol-
lshing the proposed sliding bounty on
domestic sugar and placing all grades
of refined sugar on the free list, were
apparent. but not real, defeats for the
democrats of that committee intended
from the first to betray the sugar IN.

knew perfectly Well when they adopted
that sliding bounty clause of the bill
that a majority o. the house would
strike it out. The free traders of the
house also won victories by defeating
the amendments to put duty on coal
and on iron ore.
That the object Of the free traders is
to force The income tax through the
house, IN spite of democratic opposition,

are making lot of noise, it looks as

progressive steps towards free trade are

Many eyes are looking longingly and
hopefully to the opening Of that fertile
tract Of land. the Nez Psrce Indian res
ervation. Toe HERALD is in receipt Of
many inquiries from parties il the east,
and other points of the compass, all of
whom are anxious to become owners of
a quarter section when Uncle Sam an
nounces to his subjects that the reser-
walton is open for settlement, The SEN
ators and epretentatiyes Of both Wash
ington and Idaho are hard at work at
the national capital in an effort to bring
abont this very desirable move, and IL is
thought that the land will be opened
during the coming spring,
The Mex Peroes reservation extends
south and east from Lewiston in the
shape Of five pointed kite, tifty-Gye
miles long and from twelve to thirty
five miles wide. Altogether it contains
over l 900 square miles, including all
the valley of the main Clearwater river,
Whan chosen for a reservation it was re-
garded as the choicest tract of land in
all that part of the country, and still
holds that reputation,
The upper levels of the land are de-
scribed by those who have travelled
through it as "the southern extension
of the Palouse," soil and climate being
much the same as that Of Whitman
county. There are some stretches of
woodland, with huge trees of the best
timber, and other sweeps of clear, roll
ing land such as the famous Camas
prairie. This upper land was long ago
shown to be suited. to almost any kind
of crop, wheat oats, barley, vegetables
or apples, and probably prunes,
The Clearwater river twists about
just within the borders of this reserya-
ton for more than sixty miles. 1t fol-
lows low valley from half a mile to
three miles wide, sunk hundreds of feet
below the general level of the reserve.
If the upper country is like Whitman
country IN climate the lower is said to
be even warmer than Wala Wala and
Columbia. This all the old travellers
have named 1.-THE fruit land .and even
the majority of the Indians have been
careful to retain little of it for orch
ards and small fruits. The soil is moist
and sandy and while not. SO rich as that
on the upper lands, is regarded as well
adapted to any kind of fruit culture.
