TAPESTRY $500 YEARS OLD.

EARLIER than any known paintings
some tapestry discovered recently al
Deir-el- Bahari, near Thebes is among
the oldest specimens of human art eX-
tant. with the exception of the prehis-
toric drawings on the bones of eN-
tinct animals by the river drift men
which, of course, are incomparably
older. But these paintings represent
the period in which the art of Egypt
was at its zenith, the eighteenth dy-
nasty. and consequently date back
about three thousand five hundred
years.
There are three specimens, all with
a similar subject, the goddess Hathor
receiving the sacrifice of her wor-
shippers. 1t is believed that they
originally adorned a temple or the
shrine of some distinguished family
and that they were hung on the walls
very much as Gobelin tapestry Is to-
day. The material is a coarse linen
cloth. canvas in fact, for painting on
which the examples in question form
the only known starting point.-New

AN INSULT TO WOMEN,

The Portland business men" who
recently signed a statement that the
effect of equal suffrage would be
detrimental to the development and
Industrial interests of Oregon. have
insulted every intelligent woman in
the state.
D Are the noble women of Oregon so
low, so uneducated. so inferior in
spirit and character to the business
men of Portland that the ballot will
be degraded by woman's handling?
Are the business men" of Portland
such superior beings. such noble ex-
amples of piety and intelligence that
the state depends wholly upon their
sacred guardianship?
In the Oregon land frauds, two
women have been implicated with
over 100 men-many of the men be-
ing public officials and prominent"
citizens. In the penitenuary of Ore
gun dlt DuN ANO NOlllNAl anu cNNl wv
men-an example of the superiority
Of the safe and sane" male sexl
This hasty and unreasonable state
ment of the Portland business men"
is an insult to Oregon and Oregon
noble pioneer women. What an in
finitesimal part in the development
of Oregon have these flippant "busi-
ness men" Of Portland taken, in COM
parison with the services performed
by the pioneer mothers of this state
who helped to lay It's very founda-
tions, in peril and privation?
How should such commercial char
latans be rated, in comparison with
the splendid womanhood which in
vaded Oregon with the pioneer men
and with their own hands and in
domitable spirits made it possible for
these money-loving "Johnny-come-
latelys" to live and thrive in Oregon
1t is an insult that should be a
boomerang to Portland in the future
Such an insult should be resented by
the splendid manhood Of oregon.

HOW FLOWERS WERE NAMED.

Camilla was named from mis-
sionary in the orient KameL ON his
return to France he brought with
him some gorgeous specimens of a
flower which is called the rose OF
Japan.
His friends, however, gave it his
name, camellia. Dahlias were brought
from Peru by one Andre Dahl
Fuchsias were named for theis dis
coverer, Leonard Fuchs.
Magnolias received the name OF
Prof Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful trees from
Asia and America to France. Anem-
one means to tremble with the wind
Lavender so called because the Ro-
mans put a spray of it in the water
to perfume the hands. The Latin
word to wash is ''lavare."

is fortunate for the city OF Pendletor
that the cost OF legal advertising Is
low, in these days of street improve
ment."
1t will be remembered that the
Tribune was given the contract for the
city printing two years ago at six
cents per inch. when the East Ore
gonian bid but five cents for the
same work, and the Tribune increased
the cost to the city by extending the
length of legal notices by using larger
type than was necessary.
In view of these facts 1t is in bad
form for the Tribune to comment on
the subject.
Thinking a republican county court
would permit it to graft the county
the Tribune put in a bill of $40 and
Sl1 per 1000. for printing the pri-
mary ballots this spring, when the
work could nave been done Tor ABOUT
So and SO per 1000. The county
court refused to be grated and the
bill of this jealous partisan organ is
now held up awaiting an investiga-
tion.
The Tribune evidently believes in
making politics pay" and ito he'll
with the people," and taxes. 1t does
not share in the taXpaying for its de-
linquent taxes for the past six years
now amount to over $3.50, which i:

In view of these facts it is in ex-
tremely bad form for the Tribune tc
