o TIRE WAGONS.
There Is No Reason Why They Should
Not Re Used Every where.

While the subject of good roads is
being agitated in every part of the
country those most interested in the
subject are doing their best to make
bad roads still worse by using narrow
tires on their wagons. Heavy loads are
drawn over our mud roads on these
narrow-tired wagons and deep ruts cut
into them, that in wet weather make
them almost, and sometimes entirely,
impossible. 1 have a sort of a pity for
a man who urges his team along a
muddy road, all the time grumbling
about the badness of it, when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one
third to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper. 1t is to be hoped that the
first legislation looking to the improve
ment of the roads of the country will
be in the way of encouraging the use
of wide tires, for n~arrow-tired
wagon will do more damage than a
dozen with wide tires if the roads are
at all soft. No one disputes the philos
ophy of wide tires, and no one seems to
have any good reason to offer why
they should not 81 used. Our farmers
simply follow precedent and go on us
ing narrow tires because their fathers
did before them. Lumbermen and
freighters use wide tires almost uni
versally and saw money by doing so,
but it seems that farmers do not care
to economic in this direction. The
condition of our roads costs us more
than any other single item of waste in
this country, and the common use of
wide tires would reduce this waste of
energy to a large extent.-Americar

Sleeves Still Growing

Sleeves have grown rather than d.
ninished in size, but they are so often
pressed down sby epaulets or shoulder
frills of various kinds, or caught down
on top with rosettes, or bands of let in
butterfly fashion, that the extra full
ness is not so noticeable. The mutton
leg shape is still the ~favorite sleeve,
and it is usually finished at the wrist
With a narrow turnover cuff, which. is
often supplemented by another of
white batiste, edged with narrow
valenciennes lace; or the sleeve is some
times trimmed with folds of silk or lace
insertion put on in rows the entire
length, from armhole to wrist. There
is a hint of an old-time flowing sleeve
in a model which flares a little at the
wrist, displaying adainty under-sleeve
4 lace and satin.-N. Y. Snu.

REVIVAL OF r
Lawns and Muslins VIII BE Laundered In
the Old Way.


the Old Way.
The recent fashions which bring
back to use the old-fashioned lawns,
dimities and organdy muslins in which
our g~randmothers delighted have final
ly brought back the starched white
petticoat of years ago. The flaring
skirts of the present time demand
starched petticoats. The la~undresses
of to-day have almost forgotten the art
of the clear-stretcher, So little starch
has been used. The chief use of starch
has been in mems laundry work. The
laundresses of to-day must learn again
if they have forgotten the starching of
muslins, lawns and other goods, so they
will not rattle" but Will hold out
in clear, crisp folds. The secret OF
making q starch that will hold with
out a paper-like rattle at the least
movement of the wearer depends to
some extent on the cloth. Sheer mus
Inns do not give much trouble in this
way, starched with fine starch. There
fore it is better to make new white
skirts of Victoria lawn, a suitable
quality of which may be purchased for
twelve and a half cents a yard. This
lawn is heavy, yet sheer, and wears
well. The glue starches are more sue
cessful than anything else in giving
the necessary stiffness to sheer dimi-
ties and organizes, without the unde-
sirable rattle. This starch is made of
proper consistency by simply melting
a tablespoonful of common white glue
in boiling water, and thinning it grad
ually by adding half a gallon of water,
quart by quart, and testing it by
starching a sample in it until proper
consistency is reached. Gum-arabic
starch is used in the same way.-N. Y.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion Of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-
stitutional remedies. Deafness iscaused by
an nf1amed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have arumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and thistube
restored to its normal condition, hearing Will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION

REPREsENTATIvE HENRY of this
county has introduced bill into
the legislature to divide Kootenai
county with Bonner's Ferry as the
county seat Of the new county.
The dispatch states that the pro-
position will meet with strong OPP
position. If the bill is for an equal
division of Kootenai county it is a
meritorious proposition, although
we do not believe it will meet with
a great deal of enthusiasm outside
Of localities interested in the county
seats. If the proposition is one
that we have heard talked over
that is to divide the county into
three parts with county seats at
Rathdrum, Harrison and Bonner's
Ferry, we do not believe it will
meet with the appreciation Of the
taxpayers of the county. To divide
the county into three parts would
give each county about 100000 of
taxable property, and experience
has taught that new counties can
not keep up expenses with less
than 81, 100000 of taxable property
without running behind even at an
increase of the tax rate. If the
county is to be divided, we trust it
will be divided right-in the inter
est of the taxpayers of the proposed
new county and not of the Office
seekers. The columns of the HER
AID are open for discussion Of the
matter.
Since the above was put in type,
the information as to the main
features of the bill have come tc
hand and will be found on another
page of the HERALD.

A Sad Accident.

The Ceur d. Alene Miner records
a most pathetic accident at Burke.
1t seems the Fireman's ball was in
progress with all its gayety when,
suddenly, from the dressing-room
came a cry of dispair, and those
nearest the scene knew that the life
of a little child had been crushed
out. Mr.. and Mrs. John Bresahan
had taken their little daughter
Geneveive, eleven months old, to
the ball and had laid her to sleep
in a corner of the cloak room.
While the merry maskers held high
carnival, glad in their revel and
fun, some lady thoughtlessly set
down upon the sleigh and crushed
out the innocent life of its precious
occupant. 1t is needless to say
that the festivities were brought tc
an abrupt termination. The Joy
of the occasion was at once turned
into mourning and the masker;
sorrowfully departed for then
homes.

.THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
AstOria's Population Over Nine
Thousand.
Some Interesting Facts in COnnec-
tion With Mr.. FergusOn's Report
on AstOria's School Children.

School Clerk H. b. Ferguson has Just
finished his annual school census and
the report contains some interesting
facts. He has tramped from one end
of Astoria to the other, visited every
house, and dn his affable way, secured
information that makes the census val
liable in more than one way. Every
person, male or female, between the
ages of 4 and 20, are liable for school
attendance, and in his research Mr..
Ferguson found 1884 persons on this
list. OF this number 967 are males and
917 females. These figures include l22
Chinese, four of whom are females. In
comparing the census Just completed
with that of last year, 1t was found
that there has been nine deaths, four
of which were from drowning. An in
teresting fact which goes to show that
Astorias educational advantages are
appreciated by people residing outside
of the city, is that number of fami-
lies are moving to the town from the
Washington side of the river, the OBJ
ject being to give the children am OPP
portunity of attending school. One in>
stance is cited where three families
having is children have recently re-
moved from the neighboring shores of
Washington and taken up their resi-
dence here.
Taking the number of school children,
1884 and multiplying by the usual five.
it win be seen that Astoria's population
is 1920
