never fail to be cognizant of each others
temper" AS to a husbands fortune, it
is not SO important as the qualities
which lead to characterization, deter
mination, industry, thrift; and position
such a man may attain for himself. In
education a man should be at least his
wife's equal. Undoubtedly there is some
subtle affinity between opposites. Yet
there MI be likeness as well as I'M
likeness. The latter will lend piquancy
which is pleasant, but the former Will
give peace which is essential. At first
love itself will be all-suficing, but a
little later the individual characteristics
reassert themselves, and then in the
absence of comprehension and sympathy
in ones pet tastes and theories a barrier
springs up, slight, unconfessed perhaps,
but still impossible, and in one sense at
least man and wife are not "one," but
distinctly two"
II find great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms" said a we'll
known sculptor recently. 1T is astonish-
ing how few women there are with arms
that conform to the standard. A perfect
arm, measures from the wrist joint to
the armpit, should be twice the length of
the head. The upper part of the arm
should be large, full and well rounded.
There should be a dimple at the elbow.
The forearm must not be too fiat, not
nearly so fiat as a mans, for instance.
From a well-moulded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long, graceful
curves, to a well-rounded wrist. It is
better to have an arm that harmonizes,
oyan 10 tho owl 40 not onnforpn IN tho
generally accepted lines. For instance, a
full, round, upper arm which is Joined
to a fiat or thin forearm has a very bad
effect. Perhaps it is only a little worse,
however, than a graceful, well nodded
forearm tackled on to a thin, scrawly
upper arm.
CORRECTNESS of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power of express
sion with her arms. American women
are deficient in this as a rule. Those
nationalities which show the most ex-
preston in their arms are the Spanish,
French and Italians. The warmestA adj
mirers of Sara Bernhard would not claim
that she had beautiful arms, yet no one
can say that the divine Sara ever appears
%ungainly in consequence. Much more lies
in the faculty of arm expression than is
generally supposed"
The business of chaperoning has become
such an art that those who taxi it up
call it THE training of an heiress." 1t
embraces proper patronage around the
world, the introduction to court circles
and every educational advantage.
To chaperon an heiress a thorough
knowledge of the etiquette of all countries
is absolutely imperative, and the thou
sand personal graces and delicate refine
ments of accent hat are the marks of fine
breeding and worthy wealth. Little won
der that society women of not very great
fortunes accept such posts, and smaller
wonder that nom but those of extra at
tainments can fill them.

How to Improve Ones Time.


/ knew a deal old lady once
Who always used to say
Don't waste a single moment, child,
In ljfe's uncertain day.
"Our time on earth is all too short
To idly sit and dream;
So do not waste one moment. child.
However hard it SEEM"
And, do you know. she spoke the truth,
And though her hair was gray
Sh seldom let a ONE fly
Unheeded on its way.
Like her. We should improve our time
And study while we can;
A woman needs good learning now,
The same as any man.
1t cannot harm you anyway,
And some time it will bless,
And learning is the fairy key
To business mems success.

The only imperial officer there is the
Judge. A large German trading and mer-
camille compan is located at Matiepi, a
little island in Blanche bay, and the seat
of government is located at Herbertsholes
just opposite.
A full blood Samoan woman, educated
in Samoa by the missionaries, because or
her great wealth and natural shrewdness
is probably the most influential person
with the natives.
Little did the missionaries know when
they were educating Mrs. Forsythe, now
Mrs. Kolb, but who has had a dozen huss
bands before and made money at it, that
they were preparing for satan's vineyard

now has an income of SO, 900, or $1,000,
a year. She employs 800 natives and runs
four schooners in the trade of the islands
She owns vast tracts of land, but the Ger
mar government was about to take ii
away from her, when, freeing herself OF the
old husband, she married a German sub
ject to secure her title to all her possess

This woman is actively engaged in the
slave trade from all the islands in THAI
part of the Pacific and actually sells OUT
right or will rent for SO much per month
women to men. She takes orders ahead
for this sort of service and delivers the
goods the same as any kind of merchan-
disc.
1t is known by some people that this
woman is indirectly interested in the hui
man flesh trade, but this is carried on
very quietly and consequently brings big
prices.
A market day is held once a week at
Herbertshole, the little German trading
station in Blanche bay, and there some OF
the adjacent bushmen meet the coastal
tribes to barter and exchange their wares.
Taro and yams, breadfruit and other prod-
uce form the marketable assets of the
hillmen, while the tribes on the coast have
for sale salt Ia much priced commodity,
lime, fish, shell ornaments, etc., to trade
away on their part. There is another del
icacy brought down by the country people
which is carried by stealth and sold with
much mystery and p~recaution. A sudden
raid on the innocent looking, palm plated
market baskets often reveals a human arm

and IRIS being life size. These are most
ly in the softer qualities of silk, Ike
surah and liberty. Persian designs,
where the palm leaf pattern is lar
ger than ones hand, are seen, and SO
artistically are the colors blended that
they 80 not look at all glaring or
tawdry. These will be used for tea
gowns and some for afternoons. but at
present it is not thought they will be
worn in the street. They may possibly
be made up int light summer dresses
and trimmed with lace and ribbon. The
quality is thin and pretty.
The illustrations shows two of the
pompadour effects in high necked
gowns. The pompadour waist is one of
the certainties. We are told that be-
fore summer is over our ladies will be
wearing the regular Dolly Warden
dresses. It il quite a long step from
the tightly fitting skirt to the punched
up p~cionaise of Dolly Varden's time.
Yet I have seen changes made quite as
radical in as short time. There are the
printed india and surah silks, soft and
in the well known old chintz patterns
OF pretty flowers on dark grounds, and
there are challies in the same designs,
There are new silk grenadines figured
in much the same way and there are
calicoss, or rather p~ercales, bearing i X
patterns. who lives will see.
The separate waists are as complex
as ever when in silk, velvet or wool,
and the variety Is beyond description.
Light taffetas with guipure and other
rich lace applique arc the most elegant.
Many Of the taffeta waists have velvet
collars, cuffs and belts. All are more
or less full in front. some decidedly
bagEy. That reminds me that the point
I'd belts are in favor again.
Some of these are made as plain as
possible and covered with bias black
velvet, others have row of jet and
steel or all steel beads and still others
are almost covered with beads wrought
In various fanciful figures, flowers or
arabesques. There are some beads
which resemble nail heads very closely.
They are made Of steel, but made iri-
descent by some process until they are
beautifully colored. These are put over
black. Violet, pink, blue, green and
yellow velvet pointed belts are made to
match different costumes, n the effect
Is beautiful. Many ladies take pleasure
in making these belts for themselves.
The belt fastens at the sides with a
couple Of hooks and eyes and is cut
from stiff buckram REINFORCED by hair
cloth and stayed in front and back,
where the points are, by whalebones or

Railroad Employee Drowned.

Herman Clinker of the Northern Pa
ci6c construction crew was drowned in
the Potlatch Thursday afternoon. The
unfortunate man was working at the end
of the track at the break attending the
pile driver. 1t became necessary to
adjust platform on which Clinker was
working. A plank which was balanced
ont over the water was caught by the
current This condition formed lever
that hurled Clinker to his death. The
middle of the plank was against the pile
driver and the swing end struck the man
with such force that he was stunned.
He was rolled, jostled and crushed by the
terrible current till his life was gone and
he sank.
His body has not been recovered. The
large construction crew which was as
sembled in the work of repairing the
break i'll the track watched the mar
drown not being able to render assistance
The terrible current of the swollen stream
baified human effort in its fury.

The Latest from Buffalo.

Ezra Baird to-day received from G. X.
Reed the report that Bert Rigley had re-
tnrned frou Buffalo, where he had gone
after the startling Sweeney report was
published, and that he had thoroughly
sampled the Big Buffalo ledge at the
bottom of the shaft. and that those SAM
plies showed the highest values ever OBJ
tained from the mine.
Mr.. Rigley, who is an experienced
mining man, and he is competent to take
fair sample, is Thoroughly reli-
able. He is the principal original owner
of the property and he took the test for
his own information and those of his az
sociates and the average of the sam
pies taken by Mr.. Rigley assayed $l63.
This is better than ever shown from such
sample.
| The people of Grangeville are elated
over this showing. The statements OF
Lane Gillian and Clayton Miller, the
men of all others, aside from Mr.. Rigley,
most competent to testify ,corroborate this
report. The fame of the old Buffalo is
higher than ever. The reaction of senti-
ment has come and confidence III the f,i-
lture of the camp is unbounded.
The present style of development OF
the Big Buffalo makes it the greatest
quartz proposition ever discovered. The
values are Unprecedented in large de.
posits. Let the ore be base or free the
mine and the camp will still be great
1t is ouly question of fraction OF the
value in excess for extracting the ore
A body of base ore distributes more
money for labor than a free ledge. The
value of the mine is but slightly effected
by the more costly processes.

A New Industry.

Col. Frank Parker takes a keen in
terest in the growth Of lint fax for the
manufacture of grain sacks. The Wash
ington factory at the Walla Walla pen
itentiary has been making practical ex-
periments in this line. The fax has
been made into grain bags at that place
and the experiment was altogether sat

The soil of walla Walla county and
western Washington generally is not
suited to the cultivation of fiber fax. The
sample bales which tests were made were
received from Oregon. The reservation
and the Palouse country are emmently
suited to the growth of this variety of
flax
If this fiber should be substituted for
the Cbilian Jute in the manufacture oi
grain bags the result would be new

of the fax is as valuable as wheat for {

the value of the crop would be more thar
