What Victoria Could Do.

As matter of fact, our sayereigns
have rarely taken any active pant in
politics since George Ills time, but
they could still do some very astonish-
ing things if they chose. The queen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from the commander III chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy i'll the same way,
and sell all our ships, stores and arse
nails to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely ON her own re-
sponsibility, she could declare war
against any foreign country, or make a
present to any foreign power Of any
part ofthe empire. She could make ev-
cry man, woman and child i'll the coun-
try peer of the realm, with the right,
i'll the case of males who are of age, to
a seat in the house of lords.
With single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be in
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and liberate all the criminals in our
lails These are few of the things the
queen could do If she liked but it is
not necessary to say that her majesty
never acts i'll matters Of state except ON
the advice Of the government for the
time being. London Tit Bits.

New Zealand has become sheep eater,
having changed to this article of feed
from purely vegetable diet. The kea
has proved serious source Of annoy
ance to the New Zealand herdfmen, and
methods have been taken fer the destrue-
ton of the species. These gay colored
little birds will eat almost any kind of
meat, but 1t Is sheep that they prefer.
They have been known to kill as
many as 200 i'll Il single night and have
done serious harm to the f0cks. The
tradition Of the island is that at enc
time these parrots were unable to OBJ
tain their usual supply of vegetable
food and that in desperation they invad-

er came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable In Iceland almost all the
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. In England sheep are known
who delight i'll snails. The observation
of this fact is not new; it dates back
$50 years.

of insectvorous birds become grain eat:

TILE COON TIMES

Although cyclones, foods and excess
sive heat have inflicted great damage
on the cereals in various parts OF the
West, it is certain that "a tremendous
grain crop" will be harvested. The
railway managers are making prepara-
tons for handling unusually heavy
shipments Of grain. Inasmuch as agri-
culture is the basis Of existence it muA
inevitably be the foundation of bust
ness prosperity. These great crops and
the prospect of remunerative prices af-
ford good ground for the belief that the
business revival which has been stead
lily growing for months will continue to
grow.
Capitalists engaged in the iron indus
try, which is second in Importance only
to agriculture, and which furnishes a
reliable gauge of business in general,
have no doubt that good times are hero
and that better times are coming. Ii
