ANCIENT PLANTS.
Results Of Inquiry Into the Antiquity
Of Agriculture.

Few people realize what a wealth
of interest is to be found in the study
Of the history OF cultivated plants.
Agriculture must have been one Of the
first steps in civilization. When men
began TO give up the nomadic habit
and claim a permanent residence or
home" Horticulture would follow
at no very distant date, still as an ad.
junct of home, so 1t is no wonder that
the two arts are invariably associated
with that most expressive monosyl
liable so suggestive Of peace. rest and
affection. One eminent botanist, Al
phonse De Candolle, spent years OF
incredible labor and research In his
study, and one of his monuments is
his work on the "origin OF Cultivated
Plants"
AS a single instance of the interest
to be found in this study just glance
for a moment at one OF our cereals
The cultivation OF wheat is lost In the
mgbbciAoun past hhNAShA AsbJ bNAeeh
monuments, far older than the Hebrew
scriptures show that the Egyptians
had grown this plant for so long
time that the cultivation was thorough.
y established They ascribed the
gift OF wheat OF their god Isis. Rice
was grown In China so long ago as rs
centuries before the Christian era, for.
in a ceremony instituted at that pc
riod, the emperor had TO SOW rice once
a year with religious rites. Barley
and millet also go back TO the distant
past of the early men who built the
lake dwellings of Europe; oats fol.
lowed later and later still came the
Of rye Maize was grown
to such an extent that varieties were
recognized when Aztec monuments
were raised Thus the story goes on,
carrying us on to prehistoric, nay,
primitive times, whose records are
only read in the refuse heaps OF the
early farmers OF the wOrld.-current
literature

MCEWEN
AND ELKS
TONIGHT

There are going to be some sur
prises at the Grand Opera House to-
night, and there is going to be some
fun. Professor McEwen arrived this
morning, and is in fine trim for max.
ing the effort of his life. Salem comes
more nearly being his. home than any
other place, for he belongs to the
lodge of Elks here, and as he gives
them a benefit his very best work will
be done. Many tickets have been sold
and the house will be crowded, and,
therefore, enthusiastic. We can't tell
you what the professor will do, for he
has such a repertoire that a whole pa
per would be required The only way
to get any idea of his work is to go
and see 1t, and, if you do, its dollars to
dimes, you will go back every night in
the week. His work is, in one respect
much like kisses-good, and hard to
get too much of.

Gold was discovered in California In
lS4S and in Colorado in 1858. The dis
eovery was accidental in both cases,
and the fact created the impression
that mines We're lying around loose"
Adventures drlfted about in hope OF
stumbling upon mine." Mr.. Thayer
In his "Maryels OF the New West
mentions several instances Of lucky
stumbling" Three men while look
ing for gold in California discovered
the dead body of a man who evidently
had been prospecting Poor fellOww
said one of the trio. HE has passed in
his checks" Lets give him decent
burial" said another. "SOme wife or
mother will be glad II ever she knows
IT," They began to dig a grave. Three
feet below the surface they discovered
signs OF gold. The stranger was buried
In another place, aud where they had
located a grave they opened a gold
mine.
