In Their Own Language,

A parsonage almost as widely
known in the ecclesiastical world as
his most reverend master was the
late archbishop OF Canterbury's
coachman. He served DR.. TAFT also
before his elevation to the archie
piscopate, while as yet he occupied
the see Of London. Scores OF stories
have been told Of the peculiarities Of
this individual. and the following.
among others, was often related with
the keenest relish by his grace One
day when, as the bishop Of London,
his lordship was returning from
some meeting in the city, the car.

Sealed Letters Thrown Overheard.

The practice Of throwing over
board from ships letters inclosed in
sealed bottles is centuries old. Hol.
low copper spheres aud oaken barrels
have also been used as sea letter
carriers in attempts to trace the
direction Of ocean currents or to send
word from persons at sea to friends
on land. Barnacles readily attach
themselves to these drifting letter
holders and sink them. Only a very
few OF the many messages that have
been thrown into the sea have ever
been recovered.

Birds and Trees.

1t is remarkable fact. says nat.
uralist, that, Notwithstanding the
voluminOus literature that has been
written on birds and their habits, no
writer has noticed the preference
certain species give to certain trees.
Jays and rocks are found in the
greatest number In oak trees:
fnches, in lime trees; and blackcaps
among laurels. The nightingale is
always found in the greatest num-
bers in nut groves; while the thrush
evinces a decided preference for
birch and ash. The beech is the
favOrite tree Of the woodpecker; and
the numerous families of tits are
generally found in the greatest
abundance among the blackthorn.

y HE GOT HIS ITS CENT"
The Superintendent OF Lincoln Park and
His Setting Hen.

It's generally conceded that Super

has an eye to economy in expend-
lures, and in negotiating for the
park he is credited with usually
getting the best at the lowest rates
But certain Lake View hen fancier,

knowledge that Lincoln park was in

said Teuton's ears, he straightway

said the keeper, and while the old

the matter. Mr.. Pettigrew, remark

demand Is cents for an old setting

highest sum he would add to the
debit account OF the park in ex-
change for the bird When given
the superintendent ultimatum the
old TeutOn exclaimed:

He was granted admission to the
Office, and. ambling up to the desk
and looking the superintendent
directly in the eye, he began:

HOW FAR BICYCLISTS GO.

Few people, who are not active
bicyclists, have any notion of the
great distance travelled by men and
boys on their wheels on Saturday
afternoons and Sundays. Bicycle
riders are accustomed to relate
stories Of the distance covered, but
their tales are not always received
with evidence Of belief. There is a
sort Of good natured theory afoat
that such stories should beaccepted
just as the fishing tales Of favored
members IF the family are received
by indulgent audiences. AS a
matter Of fact, however, the runs Of
bicycle enthusiasts verge upon the
marvellous. New Workers think
nothing Of going to Coney Island
and back on Sunday, and this not
only means journey Of 30 to 40
miles, but is made over all sorts
and conditions Of roads and pave
ments, and is usually, says the
New York Sun, made by men who
are not in prime condition. Three
schoolboys started out toward
Newark on Sunday on their wheels
from Seventy-sixth street, and
when they returned at night they
had penetrated far into New Jersey
and had rolled up so miles in the
course Of the day. They were slim,
well-built lads ranging between IA
and 16 years Of age, and they came
home after the journey perfectly
fresh and strong. The run from
New York to Philadelphia a few
days since, in which over 100 bicy-
clists competed, including a num-
Der Of women, went through sue
cessfully and without a hitch. The
distance travelled was upward of
100 miles in the course Of the day,
and oil the starters, including the
women, finished in goodform.

A Mine sold for $50. GOO.

The mining people will be interested
in learning that the valuable quartz
mine belonging to Birdsey, Knott 4
Swinden situated in the Blackwell
district, near Gold Hill, Jackson
county, was recently sold to Chapman
Bros, Of California for $4,000. The
ledge is 81 feet wide, and shows much
free gold, some Of the rock rivaling
in richness the famous Gold Hill rock.
There are 40 tons Of picked ore, on the
dump,which 1t is claimed, will assay
$50 to the ton. Several hundred dollars
have been taken from this ledge, and
the original company has q lot Of sacks
Of rich ore which were not included in
the sale, and which are expected to
reach into the thousands when crushed.
The purchasers intend to sink 100 feet
into the ground at once, and itpreserves
its width and richness at that depth,
they will put up l0-stamp mill and
operation will be commenced on a
large scale.

Another Farmer Runooad

A Polk county farmer was In Port
Ind the other day consulting with an
old friend of the legal persuasion, in
regard to extricating himself from a
bud scrape, Recently he wished to
borrow $1,000 and received a note from
a party in Salem, offering TO loan him
the money. He went to the capital
and made arrangements for the loan.
He even went so far as to put his
name to a note for 5000, and left II
with the "capitalist,n till he should
take his wife to sign 1t and the other
papers the next day, when he was to
receive the coin. When he went to
cnnsumMate the transaction, the
capitalist" had no further use for
him, and declined to discuss a loan or,
any other subject with him, and most
particularly to give up any note.

unusually heavy. Fall sown wheat Is
IN the dough. Spring wheat is head
Jg. Oats, barley and rye are coIoring
and hops have most prolific growth,
Hop lice have made their appearance;
but due to the extensive system OF
spraying there will be but little dam
age from them. A larger acreage OF
potatoes than usual were planted and
they have excellent growth. The
perry crop is ripening rapidly. some
few localities report fruit still dropping
off. The general fruit outlook is not
disconraging. The latter few days Of
warmth have been of material benefit
to gardens.

IF IT'S WAR, LET IT COME.

Will the coming month develop
a revolution or not? Thousands
of American citizens are turning
this question over in their minds.
Organized labor and organized cap
ital have thrown down the gaunt-
let and it looks very much like a
fight to a finish. One cannot exist
without the other, and if the pres.
ent situation will result in deter.
mining the middle ground upon
which both can stand, no one will
regret the Inconvenience caused.
The paralysis Of business result
ing from the strike has spread like
a plague into the small towns Of
the country and the people of the
country have been brought face to
face with the problem.
1t is bringing them to think that
government ownership is the onl,
thing which will prevent future
complications. If this strike il
repeated government control will
be demanded by the people.
The strike is the effort Of organ
lied labor to dictate the price Of
human work. Capital, like an
absolute monarch, has had the say
in the past. Labor unions are
but the result Of the organization
Of capital and the sympathies Of
the people should not be given tu
either side until time has passed
and the facts in the case have been
fully considered. The disobedience
Of the law by either side should be
punished, if it takes the standing
army Of the United States to do it,
This country must be preserved
and handed down to the coming
generations intact.

The great railroad strike now

the fruitgrowers Of Middle and
Northern California. Deciduous
fruits ripen rapidly at this season
# the year and during the last few

Of thousands ofdollars has perished
for want of transportation to mar
ket. 1t is hard understand what
railroad employees gain by these
frequent and indiscriminste strikes.
However, it is easy to see that
"bad Blood" mutual suspicion and
distrust is engendered; a disposi-
tion to tyrannize on the part of the
employer and defiant feeling to
rebel on the part Of the employe, is
the natural consequence of such
action. Differences between EN-
ploper and employe should adjudi-
Gated in the open court Of reason,
Justice and common sense. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that both
parties have mutual grounds Of
complaint, and a lresort to force
will never settle these antagon-
isms.
