Queer Skirts In Ysp,

In the island Of Stone Money" Dr.
W. II. Furniss tells Of the female fash
ions of the natives Of zap, the most
westerly Of the Caroline islands, and
expresses wonder that the women are
so rarely burned to death.
"In the first place, their skirts are
composed of four or FIVE layers o.
dried leaves and strips of bast and are
so voluminous and distended that they
stand out all around the body, outrivai-
ing the old fashioned hoopskirts. Even
when sitting down the women are sur
rounded by mound of veritable tin
der. In the second place, they are for
ever striking matches to light their
cigarettes; nay, worse even, they carry
about with them, for the sake of econ
omy, the glowing husk OF cocoanut,
and neither to matches nor husk do
they give the slightest heed, striking
the one recklessly over their own skirts
or absentmindedly resting the other
against the skirts of their neighbor,
Yet in spite Of this utter recklessness
never did l see skirt catch fire. One
month at longest is the life Of q WON
ans dress; then the old skirt is burned
and a brand new one plated. with no
tedious fittings at the dressmaker's
nor depressing bills to pay.

Establish Polecat Farm.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 14.-Martin
J. Vessels, superintendent OF exhib-
its at the Spokane Chamber of. Com
merce, is negotiating with eastern
parties for stock to establish a pole
cat farm near Spokane. where the
animals will be raised for their pelts.
He has a tract of 10 acres of land
with virgin trees, which will be
fenced to provide a habitation for
the animals. He has received much
encouragement in the enterprise
from fur dealers in Chicago. New
York, Boston and points on the At
lantic Coast, who say they will pay
the highest cash market prices for
I'll the pelts he can produce. Black
hides are eagerly sought by collect
ors, the price ranging from SIS to
$50 each, according to size and
color. He will begin with Indiana
bred cats, crossing them with those
of the north woods. Skunk farming
is being practised in several middle

the owners are receiving dividends

Use Short Words.

Literary aspirants should religiously
eschew r.olysyllabic photography. The
philosophical and pathological substruc
ture of this principle is ineluctable
Excessively attenuated verbal sym
bols inevitably induce Unnecessary
complexity and consequently exagger
ate the obfuscation Of the mentality Of
the peruser Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the furthermost
minimum Of simplifcation and COM
pactness, besides contributing realistic
verisimilitude, constitute much less
onerous handicap to the readers per
spicacity. .
Observe, for instance, the unmistak-
able and unacceptable expressiveness of
onomatopoetic, interjectional, mono
syllable utterances, especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more ap-
pealing is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity Of elongated yerbiage.-Life.

GRANT COUNTY IS
CUT down
-
Lack of Sufficient Popula-

18th Glass.

Ephrata, Wash, Dec. 26.--The
county auditor has received notice
from the State Board of Supervision
that as the census shows Grant coun-
~ to have population of only S69S
according to the last enumeration it
reduced the county to the seven
teeLth class and that the attention
OF the county commissioners should
be called to the fact that they might
fix the salaries of the officials to
correspond to the new class.
This will affect the salaries of the
officers to a considerable extent, the
reduction being quite marked for
some of them. The auditor receives
S1450 year and under the new
classification will be reduced to
1880. The sheriff has the same
salary and will have 500 cut from
his salary The clerk has, a $3.50
reduction and will get $1100. The
treasurer is reduced from $1400 to
$500. The school superintendent
is hit hard, his salary dropping from
$1,000 to $3.50. The engineer does
not fare so badly; his salary of ST.
400 is annulled and he is placed on
a salary of S. day for the service

FRANCE WANTS No
MORE STRIKES
Government Formulates a
Measure Forcing Compul-
sorry Arbitration.

The text Of the government meas
ures formulated for the purpose of
preventing general strikes with par
ticular reference to the employees of
the public service corporation has
Just been made public, states a Paris
dispatch.
The measures constitute a compre-
hensive plan for ending the strike
evil on the railroads and in other
public service by means of concil-
iation commission composed of rep
resentatives of the men and COM
panies. The commission will meet
at regular intervals, and, when con-
citation fails, compulsory arbitration
is provided, the principle being in
PRODUCED that where the arbitral SEN
tence imposes an additional charge,
the corporation car indicate the
method whereby the railroad or 9th
er service can secure compensation,
either by raising the rates or by
other means
The report accompanying the
measures is a remarkable document.
1t quotes the declaration of the
rights of man to prove that public
services have been instituted for the
public good, not for the benefit of
those to whom they have been con-
fided, from which it deduces the
conclusion that the interruption of
public service is a crime. At the
same time it admits that public
service employees, like other work
ers, have a right to amelioration OF
situations, and in cancellation and ar
bitration it is proposed to give them
a weapon las powerful as the

#ty like thfs the engineer has to put
in straight time and this will mean
a raise in the salary for this officer.
The prosecuting attorney Is reduced
from $1,000 to $500. The assessor
receives 81 day, as do the county
commissioners.
The lowering of the class is caused
by SO many Of the homesteaders of
the county being away at work in
other parts of the state when the
ENUMERATION was taken. There are
over 5000 bona fide citizens of
Grant county. more than enough to
keep it in it's original class, had all
been officially counted.
Being short only 500 in the re-
quired population will make quite
difference in the payroll of the
county, provided the county commits

claim they will be.

cOAXING SLEEP.
Simply Question of Will Power and
Self Suggestion.

Self Suggestion.
Ordinarily we do not sleep by acct
lent or haphazard. We simply resolve
to sleep, and self suggestion plays a
great part in the production of sleep.
We go through a variety Of actions
all suggestive Of a change from our
normal waking condition. We un-
dress; we place ourselves in a COM
Portable position; we close our eyes:
we believe and expect we are going to
sleep, and the result is-sleep.
One Of the great preventives Of sleep
is the fear Of not sleeping, but writer
in Harper's Bazaar says that once this
fear is broken down we sleep anyhow.
The insomnia worries about his in
sonnia, and this very worry deepens
the mischief; hence the sufferer should
suggest to himself again and again.
eff l sleep, well; If ! don't sleep. 1
will at least gain rest by keeping my
mind calm and my body relaxed"
In a word, our chances of getting
sleep increase if we assume the ex-
ternal physical attitude which CORE
spends to sleep IL we relax every
muscle and let it stay relaxed, if we
breathe lightly and regularly, If we
call up the imagination Of sleeping
person and talk and think sleep to
ourselves, repeating silently and in a
quiet, dreamy fashion such formula
as this:
"There is no reason why I should
not. sleep. Therefore l can sleep.
Therefore I will sleep. My mind Is at
peace. Sleep is coming. am getting
sleepy. l am about to sleep. am
asleep"

Our policy has always been and

have his money at the expense of
his friendship. We want both
your money and your good will,
however, and are gratified to
know that we have thousands of

We spare no pains or expense
to grow and deliver to our custo-

can produce and we stand back of
our stock.
We are nurserymen. That's our
business. With the brains. ener-

could make twice the money in
