Llama niatanoa Laundrx.

Some Of the smart set Frenchmen Of
today send their linen to London to be
washed. Their ancestors used to go
even further afield in search of good
laundry work. So far back as the six
tenth century Frenchmen had their
washing done in Holland, where the
soft water of the bikes was supposed
to impart special gloss to linen. This
practice appears to have lasted until
the close of the eighteenth century, for
Sebastian Mercier, in his "Tableau de
Paris" published shortly before the
French Revolution, protests against the
patronage by the rich Of the Dutch, to
the exclusion Of native laundresses.
Still more remarkable is the fact men,
toned In the Memories du Comte de
Vaublanc," that wealthy merchants In
Bordeaux used to send their linen all
the way to San Domingo to be washed.

iron With Their Fact.

One OF the most curious sights which
beheld In Cairo was men ironing with
their feet, says a writer In the Wide
World Magazine. They had not been
mixing their drinks. 1t is simply a
custom Of the country. These men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments Except for a long
iron handle, the irons were shaped like
the ordinary fiatiron, only larger A
solid block of wood rested on the top
of the iron, and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron in the direc-
ton desired by means of the handle.
For the sake Of convenience the IRON
ing boards were raised only a few
inches above the ground. The men
ironed with great rapidity, and, how
ever strange the method may seem to
our ideas, 1t certainly does the work
very well and expeditiously.

PAIRING on For Dinner.

The custom Of walking to the dining
room arm in arm, taking lady in to
dinner" strange though 1t may seem,
Is comparatively modern. as prior to
the middle of the eighteenth century it
was the custom for the hostess to go in
to dinner first. the ladies following in
order of rank and the gentlemen after,
all In single file, also in the order OF
rank, the host being last. This. how
ever, gave rise to so many duels on
questions Of precedence both among
the ladies and the gentlemen that the
custom of pairing or was begun in
order that no dispute might arise, 1t
being one of the customs Of society
that no duel challenge could be given
In the presence of the lady concerning
whom the dispute had arisen.-New
York American.

AsphaIt and an Acoident.

Asphalt, with which so many roads
are paved, was found by accident
Many years ago in Switzerland natural
rock asphalt was discovered, and for
more than a century it was used fol-
the purpose Of extracting the rich
stores Of bitumen it contained. In
time 1t was noticed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed a mar
velousIy fine road surface when assist
cd by the heat of the sun. A proper
road of asphalt rock was then made
following upon the discovery, and in
1854 an experimental roadway was
laid in Paris. From that time the use
OF rock asphalt for the making OF
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries.

HIGHLAND TO GET
GOOD BOAT SERVICE
Two New Steamers Being Built to
Handle Freight and Passenger
Business This Fall

Says the Richland Advocates:
Authentic information was received
this week regarding Inauguration of
daily boat service for the handling
of freight and passengers on the
Columbia river between Pasco and
up-river points.
J. w. Green, a Spokane capitalist,
gave out the statement the other
day to one of our citizens who visited
him in the Falls City that he had
let a contract to Seattle ship build
ers for the construction of two boats
to be delivered at Pasco the latter
part of next month.
The vessels will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 each, and will
be fitted up with every convenience
for the handling of the work for
which they are intended. Upon
delivery by the builders schedule
and tariff sheet will be issued for
the benefit of shippers.
It is the intention to make freight
rates so low that at this point they
will be almost equal to the terminal
rates now existing in the sister towns
of Pasco and Kennewick.
Mr.. Green stated that he had
already entered into traffic arrange
ments with the Northern Pacific,
which company has a spur track
running down to the river in Pasco.
He also said that a dock and
ware house would be built here,
a permanent man put in charge to
look after freight and express and
make all local traffic arrangements.
If, as represented by Mr.. Green,
the Inauguration of this new mode
of transportation out of and into
Richland of both passengers and
freight will be equal to any railroad
service we could hope for here, and
it will do much to allay the long
desire the people have had for the
sound of the iron horse in this valley.
1t is hoped by the promoter of
this enterprise to have everything in
readiness to begin business early in
October.

PUPILS MUST MAKE
DEPOSIT ON TEXT BOOKS
School Board Adopts Rule to Obviate
District Annual Loss Through
Scholars Carlessness

At a meeting of the school board
held Wednesday evening it was
decided to require deposit from
all school children this fall before
books would be issued to them. The
amount determined upon was small,
half a dollar in the first six grades
and one dollar in the seventh, eighth
and high school grades. The de-
posits will be returned to the child
rem at the end of school, or when-
ever they leave school, provided they
return all texts to the teacher in
proper condition. In cases where
books have been obviously misused
fines will be deducted and the bal
ance turned over to the child max
ing the deposit.
In adopting this ruling for the
Kennewick schools the board is
merely applying here rules which
have long been in operation in other
places. Pasco requires deposit on
all texts before they are issued to
children; the same is true of the
Spokane high schools. Prosser and
Richland also requires deposits.
The reason for the ruling lies in
the fact that many children leaving
school and having at home texts
belonging to the school will not re-
turn such books unless they are re-
quired to do 80 in order to insure
the return of their deposit. This,
together with the careless misuse Of
texts, causes considerable loss to the
district every year; loss of such pro-
portions as to justify ruling of this
kind in an effort to obviate it. The
amount required by the board as q
deposit, while not nearly covering
the value of the books issued to the
children, has been placed this low
so as to cause as little inconvenience
as possible.

new FACTORY NEARs COMPLETION

Work is being pushed along rapid
ly at the ice plant where the 4Ox6O
addition is being put up to house
the grape juice factory. Carpenter
work is nearly completed and ready
for the painters and the cement
floor will be laid next week. A
consignment of machinery has been
delayed in transit but is expected
within a few days. The big tanks
which were made locally, are ready
to be put in place, two carloads of
bottles have arrived and two thou
sand grape boxes have been made
up for the growers use.
Manager Church states that he ex-
poets to be in shape to handle about
12O tons of grapes this season, al
though if he can get bottles and
storage room enough to handle SO
or 90 tons more, he may do so.
About so tons will be secured from
this section, the balance being
shipped in from various points in
the upper Yakima valley.
