Hide and Seek.

A pastime In which all the cats de-
light is hide and seek behind the pill
lows Of bed or sofa. In the drawing
room there are some old fashioned d.
vans against the wall with several oush-
Ions set upright, which have been the
playground Of generations Of pets; the
mothers begin by playing with their
kittens, the kittens keep IL up together,
and teach IL to younger sets. The point
Of the game is which shall see the other
first and surprise her by cuff on the
nose, which stands for ~ spy" When
two play, 1t is simple enough. but when
there are three or four one always re-
mains outside the cushions to seek, and
by degrees the little pink nosed white
faces peep between the cushions with
the inimitable and provocative express
sions Of kitten at play, and the seeker
is surprised by tap. II she be on the
alert, the hider sometimes vanishes, and
sometimes they try which can get with
in the others guard and give the first
whack.
Miss was particularly fond Of hide
and seek, and established q mode Of
playing 1t with us while we were at
dinner. She would hide on the window
sill behind the long winter curtains
which are dropped in the evening, and
would peep out at one side or between
them and new, popping back again az
we called, II see you" She never tired
Of this slipping unseen from window to
window to vary the surprise until we
had more than enough Of it.--Temple

The Daily Times makes an utterly I'M
provoked and scurrilous attack on the
state fair commissioners for giving The
HERALD the privilege Of printing the fair
premium list. The Times, while dis.
claiming that 1t was in the field as bid
der for the work, allows itself to be made
the cats-paw Of an INSCRIPTIONS fellow
and the writer of the article, who was
endesvoring to secure the work. His
proposition, however, was not as salts
factory az that made by THE HERALD,
and the commissioners could take no
other course than that which justice and
the best interests OF the state dictated.
Neither friendship nor politics bad any
thing to do with the award. 1t was sim
ply matter of getting costly piece of
work for an advertising concession, ia
which the fair is partner in any profits
which may accrue, and the commission
ers took advantage of the liberal offer.

Sage Remarks.

Northwest Magazine: The best possible
disposition of the great irrigation enter
prise on the the Yakima, which the late
Paul Schulze left in financial distress,
would be to place it in the hands of the
land department of the Northern Pacific,
which can advertise 1t, manage it and at
tract settlers to it without loading it with
more debt. The Sunnyside country is the
best general fruit region in the United
States, and it is a pity that its develop
ment should be crippled 10y a receiver
ship. A half million OF additional capl-
tai, with active and efficient direction,
would put the whole enterprise on it's
feet, and would in four or five years bring
1t forward to position of solid success.
The prices OF lands should be reduced,
and the management of the big canal
and its laterals should be such as to
command the approval of the settlers
Water is the life OF all irrigated districts
and there should be capital enough and
the right kind of practical engineering
talent to make the water courses that sup.
ply the orchards and fields of the Sunny
side settlers flow as steadily and reliably
as the blood in a mans veins. This is
the first requite for prosperity, and the
second is for the right kind of immigra-
ton effort.

Beginning the Day.

Sometimes even the most fastidious
woman forgets that the keynote OF dain-
tiness is struck by the morning toilet--a
model OF all that she should be at other
times, her breakfast apparel gives every
outward evidence of haste and leaves
much to be desired.
The precious FIVE minutes nap in which
one guiltily INDUCES after the getting up
hour has arrived is frequently the begin
ming of domestic jar and fret, and causes
the first little rift within the lutte.
A woman who has made hasty morn
ing toilet is by no means thing of beauty !;
therefore she who is wise valiantly fore
goes the joys OF the forbidden nap; she
rises betimes, supported by the thought
that of such stuff martyrs are made, and
after her matutinal dip, as she arranges
her hair as becomingly as she would later
in the day, for luncheon or shopping
expedition, she finds herself at peace with
all the verdi, even including the cook!
It's only little thing in the days do
ings, but it tells. The woman who pre-
sides at the breakfast table, neat, fresh
and rosy, is fulfilling part of her mission
in life--her lord is as much stimulated
by her presence as by the fragrant cup
of Mocha which she dispenses, and
though seemingly absorbed in his news
paper as he sips his favorite beverage, in
reality he sees every detail of the dainty
toilet, knowing that it was made for his
eyes alone, and man like, approaching it
all the more for that very reasonl

Salt added to new milk will curdle It !;
therefore, in preparing porridge, custsrds
or gravies, do not add the salt until the

Clover tea is excellent tor purifying the

moving pimples. Dried clover may be
used for the tea.
Do not wash oilcloths or linoleum in
hot soapsnds. Wash them with tepid
water and wipe with cloth dampenad in
equal parts of cold milk and water.
To remove the finger marks from var
nished furniture rub them with cloth
dampened with sweet oil. To remove
them from oiled furniture use kerosene
oil.
To prevent a bruise from discoloring
apply Immediately hot water, or il that is
not at hand, moisten some dry starch
with cold water and cover the bruised
place.
When baking cake, on removing from
the oven place the tin containing the
cake on damp towel for a moment, and
the cake may be readily taken from the
tin without sticking.
To set color and prevent delicately col
ored fabrics and dimities from fading
when washed, dissolve five cents worth
OF sugar of lead in pail OF cold water
and soak the garment in it two hours;
then rinse and wash.
To stain wood to look like ebony take
a solution OF sulphate of iron and wash

A Deep ro,l,lonlGnme.

General Clarkson Is playing a deep
game. He knows as well as he knows to
pray that the first choice of the conven-
ton will never be nominated for the
reason that the nomination cannot be
effected ON the first ballot, and, therefore,
second choice man is bound to carry of
the prize.
Proceeding on this beautiful theory,
the General is working night and day to
prevent Mr.. Allison from becoming first
choice man. Whenever he observes an
indication that his candidate il becoming
too popular, even in the smallest degree
he SHES brick at him, 30 to speak, and
keeps him within the proper limit. This
accounts for the fact that more states are
not coming out openly end declaring for
Mr.. Allison. 1t is, indeed, to prevent
this sort OF demonstration that General
Clarkson has been speeding across the
continent from sunrise to sunset and back
again. Whenever he hears OF the likeli.
hood OF great popular uprising for his
man, the swiftest train is all too slow to
bear him to the scene, and once there he
proceeds without a moments delay to
beg the people, if they love him, not to
go too far in their approval of the dis
tinguished Mr.. Allison.
In this way he has managed to keep
his candidate just where the convention
cannot miss him when it decides upon
second choice man. 1t is the prettiest
politics this country has ever seen.

THE EIGHTHOUR MOVEMENT.

1t is most hopeful sign that at q re-
cent meeting Of the executive council of
the American Federation Of Labor that
body frankly confessed, in a formal re-
port which It adopted, that "before We
can undertake general simultaneous
stand for the eight-hour day thorough
and complete organization Of every craft
and occupation in minor trades lines il
needed"
This is sound sense. Organized Ia
Dor" to-day forms but small fraction OF
the entire phalanx of labor in the United
States, and with hundreds of thousands
of workingmen and women searching in
vain for employment, even on half time.
1t would be the climax Of folly to inaugu-
rate an eight-hour strike. The movement
would be doomed to overpowering defeat
from its very inception. Even il the
country were reveling in industrial pros
perity, such scheme would probably go
down in overwhelming disaster.
A general eight-hour movement would
be doubtful experiment under any cir
cumstances, but even II ii does succeed 1t
will be when it is recognized that shop
keepers. physicians, accountants, news
paper writer's, commercial travellers, ''the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker" and host of others are entitled
to an eight-hour day as well as those
workers who now monopolize to them
selves the term "labor." No "class legis-
lation" among toilers.

The invention consists Of prepara-

thin sheets by hydraulic pressure. These
sheets are then waterproofed on one side

serted into the boots as middle soles.
Asbestus being nonconductor of heat,
