rig in whiskers; all vessels before com

booms and whiskers and pumpkins,
and the lower and topsail yards be brac-

It has often been stated that the rise
in the price Of wheat does not anect
Clatsop county, but it does, neverthe-
less. For instance, the turkeys receiy-
ed this year are much poorer than those
of last season. A year ago wheat was
down and market turkeys were fat but
this year, with wheat up to 70 and 30
cents, 1t does not pay to feed it to tur-
keys. The best turkeys now obtaina-
BILE are those raised on small farms.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived Beyond the ocean lay a vast world Of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, tine combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth conni7ed at this covert mar itime war both before ard after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition ard give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire. the Rrit- ish navy. .-

 More Than Twcnty-T i've Cents.
 There is postmaster in q little town not far distant. who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked g pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Approximation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired q suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for a penny, can't IT" Certainly" salc the man at the window. "Then give me g. one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in tine meantime, and were impatiently. wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer Kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.
