Another Flag Incident Causing Talk.

LONDON, May 28.-The news from Ann erica that the authorities of New York refused to raise the British flag on the Queens birthday, has caused 8 decided sensation, as it is, generally considered in England as 8 reflection not so much upon the Queen as the English people, in view of the fact, that other foreign flags are said to be freely exhibited in New York, on the public buildings. It is said that the Conservatives will make free and effective use of the incident as indicating 8 distinct unfriendliness to the English people wherever the Irish have political control, and as an argu- ment, therefore, against granting Homo Rule to Ireland. ...

For Alternate Electors,

ties in Western Nevada rs follows:
Everybody, except the barnaole-
backed, hide-bound partisan who ha.
his eye fixed ON federM Office and
gees nothing else, admits that the re-
monetiEatioH OF silver would double
the population OF Nevada in Year,
ilrcrease She value of property fifty
per cent, make money plenty and
times prosperous. They also admit
that Harrison ia opposed to free coin
age and that the silver producing
States have nothing to expect from
them, yet there are politicians who
urge the people OF the State To vote
for ono or the other Of those rren. No
citizen Of Nevada who is Capable OF
reasoning and who does not expect
political preferment in tho event Of
the election OF one or the other OF the
Wall street candidates., cHn consist
emily think Of voting for either. They
arc enemies of the Stute, opposed to
fits principal industry, and there is no
reason, except the hope OF being re-
wurded by office, why any Nevndan
should vote for Mr.. Cleveland or Mr..
Harrison for President of The United

I'm central and eastern Nevada
over ninety per cont. Of the citizens
are pledged to oppose the election OF

Tho Oldest uerbarium.

The oldest herbariurn in the world is in
the Psychologist museum ut Cairo, and
consists of an inconspicuous collection Of
dried portions of plants These portions of
plants and flowers were taken from wrcaths
and garands in the collins wish muinmies
where they were placed by the ancient
Egyptians rs death offerings, and from edi-
bic plants which were set in earthen yes
sells on the floor OF the sepulcicr rs the
furniture Of the last resting place of their
beloved ones. Many OF these floral re-
mains are so well preserved that, after be-
ing treated with warm water they can be
handled like modern herbarium specimens
The colors, too. are preserved in remark
able way.
The most important matter in connection
with these plants is their age The re-
mains of funeral food are found in tombs
as far back rs 5000 years before Christ.
Five hundred years later grains of mustard
seed, capsules of flaxseed, gourcs, lcntils
beans, figs, pine needles, Juniper berries
and other edibles are found. The richest
acquisitions in leaves and flowers to the
herharum were made from the to:nbs
constructed between the Eighteenth and
Eleventh centuries b. c.
Among the flowers chiefly employed II
floral decorations for the dead were the
blue and white lotus, the red poppy, the
oriental hollyhock, crown chrysanthemum
saiilower, pomcgranate flowers, willow
leaves, grasses and peppermint. Celery
leaves came into requisition later, ant
onions, leeks and garlic played an impor
tant part i'll the offerings to the dead On,
of the general conclusions drawn from Thu
herbarium is that Egypt has sustained IL,
apprcciable climatic changes during tn
last 1000 years.-Gartlcn and Forest.

Ice during the summer weather is re-

which supplies the people with water from

fact that the propriety of public water

You often declare that some floating
piece of intelligence is Il "canard" without
hardly knowing why such word should
be applied to an unfounded story. The
word itself is the French for duck" and
WAS first used in its present sense in the
latter part of the Eighteenth century. hav-
ing its origin i'll Il gigantic hoax About
that time French, German and English
papers were straining every nerve to see
which could publish the most sensational
Items. Their writer's ransaclled the earth,
the sky above the earth and the cavcrns
beneath it's surface for material on which
to found extraordinary stories. At last
Cornclison, one of the Paris competitors.
Stated that IN interesting experiment had
just been carried out in that city which
proved the extraordinary voRacity of ducks
(canarls).
Twenty Of these fowls had been placed
together one morning, and Mt an appointed
hour one of the number was killed, cut in
to small bits, feathers and all, and fed to
the other nineteen. Fifteen minutes later
No. 10 WAS hashed and served to the re-
naming eighteen in the same manner The
experiment was commenced at o'clock in
the morning, the experimenters regularly
"hashing" duck every fifteen minutes,
and at quarter to 10 (noon) there was but
one duck remaining in the pen and he of
course was placed in thcpositicn CT having
eaten his nineteen companions.
This story, pleasantly narrated, obtained
q success which the writer had never even
anticipated. Before the end OF the year it
had run the rounds of all the prominent
journals of Europe. and had even been
translated into Indian, Chinese, japanese
and other languages. For many years
afterward the story of tho twenty ca
nards' was common laughing stock, and
the word itself has ever since retained its
novel significance.-St. Louis Republic.
