Man "wets" his new hat, but nature had it in for the Easter bonnet Sunday.

It is to be noted that the saloon-keepers of Chicago are strongly in favor of closing the Fair on Sunday. Requests for information about Grays Harbor are on the increase. It is about time for Gabriel to blow his trumpet over the board of trade. Carter 11. Harrison seems to be a hard man to down.

He was elected mayor in Chicago Tuesday against a combine of the republicans and citizens. Tacoma is spending $3,000 to have a painting of the town made, when she might have it done in far brighter colors for a hundredth part of that sum by some promising young man. We print elsewhere the bill passed by the legislature, providing for scaling logs. It should be read carefully by every logger. If you object to the scale, remember you must make your objection at the time.

A tempest in the tea pot has been Btarted in Tacoma by a minister thanking God that some young lady was better than her creed. It is just such controversies that bring creeds into reproach. Certainly if the young lady was better than her creed, it was a matter to be thankful for. Surely the creed, under such circumstances, should not feel offended or hurt. It would be a cause of universal thanksgiving were we all better than our creeds.

The supreme court of Washington has decided that where the capital of a corporation is fixed in its charter the corporation has no authority to begin business until the whole amount of such capital has been subscribed. Hence it follows that members cannot be required to pay assessments until the full capital stock is subscribed. The court decides further that under the existing laws of this state one corporation cannot subscribe to the capital stock of another corporation. Those papers who rejoice much over the recent decisions of Judges Taft and Ricks are the very papers that oppose most strongly governmental control of railroads. Yet these papers fail to see that these decisions go farther in the direction of socialism than any previous act of our government.

In a sense, our system of railroads was brought within the scheme of the general government by the inter-state commerco act. But these decisions go much farther, and is a long step toward the nationalization of railroad. The population of Washington is roughly one-third that of the city of Chicago, yet it is a state with an acre for every man, woman and child in the United States, and with resources as diversified as Pennsylvania, California, Michigan and the Dakotas. Washingtonians are just beginning to realize its possibilities, and when we realize that the state is capable of supporting and will support a population of four of five millions, it is not difficult to see that the Grays Harbor country, as one of the best sections of the whole state, will come in for its full share of prosperity. Olympia ib pushing ahead for terminal facilities; Aberdeen wants the Northern Pacific to come there; lloquiam believes that great wealth would flow into the Grays harbor region if the railroads would penetrate the Humptulips country; Ocosta is growing; Clallam county is clamoring for railroads.

It looks as if the Olympic region would be opened this summer. New settlers have been going into the Quillayute, Humptulips and other valleys of that section in large numbeis, and Mason county is adding to its population. The increased activity in the lumber trade will largely develope the country to the west and northwest of us. Theie are virgin forests of remarkable timber there. In spite of the depressed lumber market last year, Grays harbor is credited with shipping 000 feet of lumber, against 59,258,000 in 1891.

It would be well for Tacomans to keep a close eye to the westward. Ledger. Condemnation of Private Following is the text of senate bill No. 21, approved by the governor: Municipal corporations, except cities of the first class, are hereby empowered and authorized to acquire, condemn, take or damage private property fcr public corporate uses, and for such purposes may proceed to acquire, take or damage the same in the manner provided in chapter IX, of the laws of 1890, relating to "Appriations of lands by corporations, to regulata proceedings for," entitled "An act to regulate the mode of proceeding to appropriate lands, real estate or property by corporations for corporate purposes, and of ascertaining and securing compensation therefor, and repealing laws in conflict with this act, and declaring an emergency; approved March 21, 1890." All laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. The Scaling of Logs.

Following is the text of house bill No. 285, approved by the governor: That section 2,650 of the code of Washington of 1881 as amended by act approved November 20, 1883, entitled "An act to chapter 207 of the code of said territory relative to the inspection and measurement of logs and the foundation of lumber district," be amended to read as follows: Section AVhen any logs cut, boomed or rafted in any of the lumber districts herein designated shall have been scaled or measured as herein provided, the scale bill of such measurement, made and certified as herein provided, shall be delivered to the owner of the logs scaled or measured, and it shall constitute the basis on which the quantity of such logs shall be determined, and unless the purchaser shall dispute the correctness of such scale bill so certified as provided by section 2,353 of Hill's code, and cause such boom or raft to be again scaled and the quantity agreed upon before such boom or raft has been removed from the place where the logs were boomed or rafted, said purchaser shall be stopped from disputing the quantity contained in said boom or raft as shown by such scale bill and certificate. There is an emergency clause." April ti, 189 a The meeting of the editors of Chehalis county at Westport last week was a great success. The Vidette says: "There were many causes whicli served to make our stay in Westport a delightful occasion, but by common consent everyone steps aside to give full credit foi the successful management of the affair to W. F.

Thompson, "creator of the World." He it was who called the meeting and carried it through to a successful ending. This required several weeks ol arduous labor, to the sacrifice of every business interest of his own. A handsome line of printing, much of it elaborat, and all attractive and tasty, was furnished by him. Wednesday was large devoted to a business session of the association. Permanent organization was effected by eleeting the following officers: W.

Divilbiss. Coghlan. M. Moore. E.

Thompson. It is believed that as a relult of this meeting and the foundation of this organization, some practical results will be obtained, which will be to the best interests of the entire county. A better understanding between the editors themselves no doubt exists, and while no one need expect that every editor considers his contemporary an angel, it will probably be at least a week or more before one says anything really mean about another. One thing may, however, be expected, and we believe the people of the entire county will rejoice over it; in the future nothing disparaging of any town or community will be found in the columns of the county press. A movement was also started which if the citizens of the county will give it the encouragement we predict, will do much towards bringing to the attention of the people visiting the World's Fair, the advantages, resources and possibilities of Chehalis county.

The association submits the proposition, and will use every effort to make it a success, but everything depends upon the interest and liberality of the people. Briefly the idea is as follows: To offer a valuable prize for the best, fullest and comprehensive article on Chehalis county; such articles r.ot to contain less than five thousand words; when a duly accredited committee shall have decided which article submitted is the best, it shall be published in each newspaper in the county which stall be done free of charge. Afterwards, this article, perhaps with other matter, to be printed in suitable form and distributed where it will accomplish the greatest good, the idea being to have it ready for the World's Fail. With this in view the following committee, to be known as the World's Fair advertising committee, whose duty it is to solicit funds to carry out this plan, was appointed: Westport, R. E.

There will be a meeting at Fairfield's rink in Aberdeen on April 22, 1893, of all the settlers upon lieu lands in this county, to discuss the steps necessary to take to secure title to the lands. Come everybody. The EASTER. Bulcs Governing This Old and Movable Festival.

The festival of the resurrection of Christ probably derives its Teutonic name from the festival of the Goddess Ostara-m Anglo-Saxon, the Saxons of old were wont to celebrate about the same searson at which the Christian festival of Easter occurs. In the second century a dispute arose as to the proper time for celebrating Easter between the eastern and wratern churches. The great mass Christians celebrated Easter on the 14th day or the first month or moon, considering It to be equivalent to the Jewish passover. when Christ was crucified. The western Christians celebrated it on the Sunday after the 14th, holding that it was the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus.

I lie council of Nice, A. D. 325, decided in favor of the western usage. At the time of the introduction of the Gregorian calendar it was debated whether Easter should continue a movable feast or whether a fixed Sunday after the 21st of March should not be adopted. In deference to the ancient custom the ecclesiastical authorities decided to adhere to the method of determining the day by the moon.

It must be understood, however, that it is not the actual moon in the heavens, nor even the mean moon of the astronomers that regulates the time of Easter, but an altogether Imaginary moon, whose periods are so contrived that the new (calendar) moon always follows the real new by two or even three days. The effect of this is that the fourteenth of the calendar which had from the time of Moses been considered full moon for ecclesiastical generally on the fifteenth or sixteenth of the real moon, and thus after the real full moon, which Is generally on the fourteenth or fifteenth day. With this explanation, then, of what is meant by "full that it is the fourteenth day of the calendar moon rule is that Easter day is always the first Sunday after the paschal full the full moon which happens upon or next after the 21st of March, and if the full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday after. One at a Time. Oh.

hurries and flurries and worries! Oh, scoldings and sulkings and smears! Oh, Jumbllngs and tumblings and grumblings! Oh, tempers and tantrums and tears I Would you cheat them or meet them and beat them. As merry as linnets at prime? Then grasp, I Implore yon, the duties before yon One, one at a time. "One sack at a time," says the porter, "I'll carry each sack in the stack; Though all in a heap might seem shorter, Alack for the crack in Ay back!" "Now, one at a time," says the wrestler; "To shrink were a shame and a crime. Make ready and nerve yon; I'm ready to serve But one at a time." gaze not far out on the distance; Look down at the land where you stand: Begin with a cheery persistence The duty that's next to your hand. One stoDe at a time rose the steeple That shines in the sunlight sublime, And tasks are surmounted and conquests are counted One, one at a time.

Origin of the Name "Cur." Here is an ingenious if not a strictly historical story of how the name "cur" originated: A cur is a dog of low degree and mean extraction, such a cheap animal as the villeins in feudal England could afford to keep, very different from the blooded dogs of the gentry. But when tho gentry went hunting with their hounds, the villeins went along with their dogs to do the dirty work, and in the chase the dogs mixed in democratic fashion. The bloods wanted their quality dogs to have the credit of bagging the game, but at a distance the dogs could not be distinguished. 80 the gentry ordered the villeins to cut off the tails of their dogs, and they were called "cur-tails." This was too long a word, and, in talk, they cut across lots and said "curs." That is, the men dropped the word tails, and the dogs also dropped their tails. THE'COUCH IN A COZY ROOM.

A. Narcotic That the Sight, Steadies the Nervea, Lightens the Heart. A room without a coach of some sort is only hall famished. Life is full of apsacd downs, and all that saves the sanity of the mentally jaded and physically exhausted fortune fighter is the periodical good cry and momentary loss of conscidfisnees on up stairs lounge or the old sofa In the tting room. There are times when so many of the things that distract us could be straightened out, and the way made clear if one only had a long, comfortable eouoh on whose soft bosom he could throw himself, boots and brains, stretch his weary frame, unmindful of tidies and tapestry, close tired eyes, relax the tension of his muscles and give his harassed mind a chance.

Ten minutes of this soothing narcotic, when the head throbs, the soul yearns for endless, dreamless, eternal rest, would make the vision clear, the nerves steady, the heart light and the star of hope shine again. There is no doubt that the longing to die Is mistaken for the need of a nap. Instead of the immortality of the soul businessmen and working women want regular and systematic doses of dozing, and after a mossy bank in the shade of an old oak that succeeding seasons have converted into a tenement of song birds there is nothing that can approach a big sofa or a low, long couch placed in the corner, where tired nature can turn her face to the wall and sleep and doze awajr the gloom, says Hall's Journal of To Keep the Feet Comfortable, Etc. Few things are more refreshing and invigorating after a long walk or getting the feet wet than a tepid bath, clean stockings and a pair of easy shoes. Being so much confined to boots and shoes the feet require frequent and regular bathing, also on account of freely perspiring.

If you are worried with too much colorin your face and nose, The Housekeeper advises bathing the feet in hot water in which borax has been added, to draw the blood downward. After bathing in hot water pare the toe nails. If you are troubled with burning, aching feet, nothing relieves them so quickly ns a plunge in cold water, as cold as you can possibly endure. A handful of coarse salt added is excellent. Wear good stockings and easy, well fitting boots.

Frequent bathing of the feet in a strong solution of alum water will prevent the coming of chilblains and swelling of the feet. The toe nails, on account of being so much confined, are more liable to Irregularity of growth than the fingernails. Tney should be pared at least every two weeks. The nail on the big toe has a greater tendency to grow into the quick than any other. To avoid this, pare the nail toward the center and cut out in the shape of a V.

It is always well to have plenty of wear, as frequently changing the shoes keeps the foot healthier and less inclined fp Knot A ROOM OF CEREMONY. Social Laws and Good Form That Blake the Library an Inviting Retreat. To the inmates of that charming sanctum, the home library, Mrs. Oliver Bell Bunce offers, in Good Housekeeping, the following words of sound advice: "It should be acknowledged bp every well regulated family that there are times for converse tion, and thai the library is a room granted to be a room of ceremony, where intellec tual desire should be treated with respect. Every guest should observe the propriety of silence.

It the displacing of these little instruments of usefulness that disturb the disposition, irritate the temper and are among the causes of the hasty word and the unkind borrowed book." What a text for a sermon, said a clever author.

If books are borrowed, mar them not; neither turn down the leaves, and, above all, be careful to return them in aa good a state of preeervatlon as when borrowed. To write on the margins is unpardonable, vulgar, ill bred. And so the library bu Its etiquette, social laws and good form. In this inviting place the inmates enjoy the calm repose, the new books, the firelight's sparkle. Here they pen the loving words, and in this sanctum our intellectual life grows, spreads and digests.

Beryls In New Hampshire. Several varieties of precious stones are found in New Hampshire, but the ones attracting the most attention are the beryls found at Acworth. Acworth, says The Jewelers' Circular, has become famous on account of the many large and valuable specimens which have been sold to go into cabinets in all parts of the world. There is one 8 inches in diameter in the royal cabi net in Vienna, represented as coming from Acworth, and its description tallies with the one reported to have been sold in New York for $15,000. Origin or the Word Grninerey.

The word Gramercy, used to designate the locality' Gramercy park in New York city, is, according to Waist, derived from "der Kromwe See," which is the name given to that district on an old map. The word became famous in American politics through the sobriquet Gramercy Sage, or Sage of Gramercy Park, applied by his admirers to Samuel J. Tilden, who lired in that neighborhood. N. Y.
