! A writer in the Culver tells Of the
etiquette to be observed in preaching
before the Queen. No personal refer
ence to her Majesty is permissible, a
pure gospel discourse being the rule,
delivered as though she was not pres
ent. Many have tried to evade these
rules. The Queen likes and enjoys a
plain, practical discourse, selected from
the lessons or gospel of the day, to oc-
cupy about twenty minutes in delivery.
Questions of the day and, above all,
politics must be entirely excluded. A
celebrated clergyman broke this rule
one Sunday and preached a strong po-
litical sermon; but it was his last op-
portunity-the royal pulpits have neith-
er of them been filed by him again.

CIDER is GOOD FOR INvALIDs.
Carefully Made, 1t Cures Many Ills
that Flesh Is Heir To.

"For many years I have recommend
ed cider as useful beverage for in
valids generally, and especially for the
gouty," writes an eminent physician.
'The great practical difficulty lies in
the fact that such cider as the sick-the
gouty, for example-require, can hardly
be procured at a marketable sale price.
l am compelled to procure their cider
privately and by favor of some farmer
who makes his own beverage and for
this reaSon-that it is a fundamental
condition of success in the manufac-
ture OF cider for medicinal purposes
that only apples of a single sort should
be used in the production of the must,
and that the fermentation should not
be arrested, but allowed to proceed un-
til the whole of the ferment is exhaust
ed and the fermentable material broken
into its elements.
No inconsiderable part of the SER
vice performed by good cider in the
cure of disease and the preservation of
health is due to the same elements
obtainable from the bark of the stem
and root of the apple, the pear and
certain other trees. This phloridzin-
a glucoside-was some fifty years ago
submitted to criticism as a probable
substitute for quinine. It was not
found to answer the purpose assigned
to 1t, but experiment then and Subse-
quently proved that it possessed two
remarkable properties one of so
acting on the digestive functions that,
after two or three weeks use of this
phloridzin, persons who could not ap-
propriate certain elements of food nee
essary for their nutrition were able to
do so; the other Of acting in such fash
ion on the glycogen accumulated In
muscular tissues for work. but which,
when overaccumulated, causes at least
one form of the trouble called 'rheu-
matism,' as to convert it into sugar and
thus get rid of it.
Now, ordinary cider would be per-
fectly useless for the beneficial pur
poses covered by the above specifca-
tions. If physicians are to have q val
liable addition to the beverages they
can recommend to their patients and
the consumers Of cider are to enjoy the
advantages Of this valuable natural
product there must be no attempt to
arrest fermentation at the right. point.
There is no right point at which to ar
rest fermentation, either in the must Of
the apple or the juice-I avoid the tech
useful cider must be absolutely nat
ural and so must champagne. Lon

"And so this is Jonas Hogg's wife?'
said Uncle Sim Porter cordially, as he

He certainly did bear 1t in mind, but
his manner of introducing his boarder

There's Money In Rats.

When Louise Michel was in prison
she was permitted to have three Of
her cats with her. But she soon dis
covered that she would have the COM
pany of other animals as well, for
some rats paid her visit.
Their first visit ended badly for
them, as the cats attacked them and
slew one and wounded another. Mdlle.
Michel nursed the wounded rat, and
her kindness made the other rats her
friends. They "called" upon her twice
every day and behaved excellently.
She found them respectful to tho old,
kind to the unfortunate, and full Of
family feeling.
The governor of the prison sent them
food from his table, and sometimes
came himself to see the. Mdlle Mich
cps example of treating these crea-
lures with kindness was copied by
other persons, who agree that the rat
is capital animal for the Snowman.

Water After a Heavy Rain.
A short time ago peculiar fish was
picked up under unusual circumstances
on bed of sand near Estover, s. G.
There is no stream or pond of water
anywhere near that spot, but one day
after a severe rainstorm the fish was
found there, apparently dead. The
finder carried 1t home, a distance of
two miles, and placed it in a jar Of
water, when 1t revived and yet lives.
The peculiar find has attracted much

CROPS,
Oregon's Usual Big Record.
Grand AII-'round Prospects, Large
Yield Of Everything.

Weather-The warm weather con-
tinued to Friday, when 1T became
cloudy and cooler. Some light show
ers fell on Fridly and Saturday along
the coast and in the northern portion
of the Willamette valley, amounting
IN from a trace to 10 of an inch. The
weather became clear Saturday after
noon and Sunday, with a rising tenn
perature; the maximum temperatures
of the week occurred today, which
ranged from 80 degrees to 80 degrees.
The mean temperature for the week,
65 degrees, is the same as the preced-
ing week, and is the normal for this
period of the year. The day temper
atnre averaged "A degrees, and the
night I56 degrees. The amount of
sunshine has been about normal.
Crops.-The weather has been ex-
ceedingly favorable for growth: The
general crop conditions can be sum-
med up as excellent. Hay which on
June 1st was thought to be a short
crop, now is considered an average
crop, the weather has been favorable
to curing and putting away the hay.
Considerable wheat and oats hay still
remains to be cut. The second crop
of alfalfa is being cut.
Harvest of fall-sown wheat is in full
progress and an excellent crop is re-
ported. Correspondents report that
never before was the grain such a
good crop. The heads are large and
well filed, and the berry is large and
plump. Fallsown oats will be ready
to cut this week.
Sprlng-sown wheat and oats are ex-
ceeding all expectations in growth,
developement and prospects, and as
now they are beyond injury, a very
large yield of an excellent qualify is
assured.
Corn is silking out, and the CORE
spondents report the best corn crop
ever grown in Oregon. Hops are in
bloom. The dry weather and sun
shine have checked the deYelopement
and ravages OF the hop l0uie, with the
result that the hop prospects are i'm
proved. Buckwheat, barley, fax for
fiber and sugar bcets, all are making
fine growth.
Garden produce is unusually plenti-
full; the growth has been wonderful,
even fer Oregon. Potatoes are heavy
crop in every section. Watermelons
are ripe in the southern counties; they
and all other melons are more than
an average crop. Berries are more
plentiful than ever been before. Early
peaches, apples, and plums are ripe
and very plentiful.
The prune, apple and pear crop will
be far superior to what was expected,
and the total product will, as reported
b. larger than ever before.
The weather conditions are favor
