On Saturday night, August 10Th, the
Wild West parade will take place. II
will form on Exchange street in front
OF Foard & Stokes hall, They expect
to have in this parade 100 wagons to
carry the people that take part in il
and a cordial invitation is extended to
everyone to take part in this and make
it the largest and best parade ever
seen in the city.
Everybody taking part in this Wild
West parade must be masked
The parade will start at 8 p. m.
sharp. The fun will be fast and
furious. Done in the open, the pass
ing show. 1t will be all day in the
daytime, and day all night in the
nighttime, for there will be no night
in Astoria, the night OF the Wild
West parade" So says W. K. Mac
beth, the man upon whose shoulders
the responsibility of the Wild West
show rests.
The first craft OF the Portland feet
to round Tongue Point and bear
down on this city, for Regatta week,
was the dandy sloop "Peekaboo," OF
the new yacht club, the Willamette,
at the metropolis, under command OF
Captain Bonny Barr, with crew of
four young gentlemen, towit: Messrs.
Jesse West; Harry Larson, Kenny
Wren and Chester Wheeler. They
left out on Wednesday, August 10Th,

Captain Wicklund, of the Point
Adams life-saving station, was in the
city yesterday on matters Of business,
Mrs. Wicklund accompanying him,
and he reports that his crew will
figure in the Regatta events on Thurs
day and Saturday, giving The usual
and interesting drills of the
service; and that the Cape Disap-
pointment crew, under Captain Stuart
will figure prominently, along the
same line, on Friday One Of the
older and lighter boats of the service
will be put in prime order for the dis |
plays, as the motor boats are too
heavy for the work in mere course of
display. It is needless to say the ex-
hibitions will be as fascinating as ever
in the hands of these highly trained
and clever crews,
Commissioner c. S. Dow is very
anxious to have brilliant display of
cut flowers as part of the exhibit he
Is in charge Of at the court house; and
to this end, he will, tomorrow, dis

and advise him of her purpose, and

be generous response to his call.

 Bring me chicken pie-one of those little individual pies."
 A few minutes later 1t was set be fore him, brown and hot, and with a smile of anticipation he broke the crust, to find, just beneath, three inch feather.

Crop We'll Worth Raising

A crop that will produce $15,48e tt the acre has been discovered in Brazil according to a report to the departmen, of commerce and labor from United States Consul General George K. An. derson at Rio de Janeiro. It Is the Bra. zllian linen and several experimental plantations are making an effort te put It into practical use
 According to the consul generals re port the plant grows twelve to eighteen feet high and somewhat resembles hemp. It natures so rapidly that a field will produce three crops a year The fiber has strength, firmness, Hexi. bility and adaptability for bleaching and dyeing.
 It may revolutionize the linen indus try of the world and become an impor- tant competitor of cotton. An acre will produce seventy-seyen tons and the product includes not only the various grades of fiber for fine or coarse linen but stems and roots can be used for making paper.
 The suggestion Is made that the agri- cultural department should investigate this wonderful plant and see If it can be produced In the portions of the Unit. ed States that are free from frost. The plant is said to be absolutely hard, re sisting alike the dry or rainy season, hpa ring e0ually up,l on dry ar uat mil and not prey to insects or mlldew."

sPKLLING NAMEA
Therewas No Doubt About Hannah When the English Lady Finished.

A bygone generation witnessed an acrimonious controversy in the Irish family of 0'Conor in County Roscom- mon as to the right of any branch of the ancient race to spell tho name | thus-with one 'n." That right. it was maintained, was held only by the l O'Conor Don as head of the house. l So prolonged was the contest between the partisans of the O'Conor and O'Connor titles that it was called the "N-less" (standing for "endless") cor respondence. Finally the question was referred to Sir J. Bernard Burke. the Ulster king of arms. His decision | coincided with decision in a certain other matter-namely, that much might be said on either side. The tive dis putting families had a common origin, king of Connaught, and could with propriety and In accordance with tra- | dition spell the name one way CT the other. Fortified by this "award,e the two families have continued to spell their name with one n" up te the presen: hour.
 Equally firm on the question as to how his name should be spelled WAS the witness in a case tried in the king s bench few years ago. Asked his name, his prompt reply was "John 'Awkins." Do you queried counsel. spell your name with or without an H:' The emphatic answer was, "J-o-h-n." As rule, however, as we have said, variety in the spelling of the names of people. as in that of the names of places, owes Its origin to peo- pie not being so clear as was our friend regarding how a name should be seell- ed.
 Two stories in illustration of this occur to us. In the first Mrs. Culver ful was having christened her latest baby. The old minister was a little deaf. What name did you say?" he queried. "I said" replied the mother, with some asperity, Hannah" Do you," said the other, mean Anna or Hannah?" Look 'ere," exclaimed the now thoroughly exasperated lady, "I won't be hexamined in this way. I mean 'Haitch-hay- n-hen-hay. .haitch'- Hannah!'
 The second incident to which we re fer is this. Here also there was "a lady in the case" She was on an er- rand, and she had to deal with the name of another party. In brief, she had bought a pair of sleeve links for her fiance when the shopman asked, Any initials, mis:' The rest msy be stated thus:
 She-Oh, yes; forgot. Engraye a "U" upon them for his first name.
 Shopman-Pardon me, is it Uriah or Ulysses? Names with "U" are rare, you know.

FATE OF A PROVINCE.
omstimes Depends on How the Chic nese Empress Has Been Rouged.

The Empress of China Is rouged ev- cry morning regularly after breakfast until her cheeks flame delicately against the creamy composition with which the rest of her face has been coated. A huge mirror Is then rolled to the couch upon which the source of all power in China reclines. Ts Hsu studies the ef- fleets of the labors of her young ladies 90 critically that 1t Is said to be neces- sary occasionally to rouge her twice or thrice before the technic of the opera tion quite realizes the imperial ideal.
 The monotony is made less tedious by song the narration of court gossip and not infrequent application of her ma jesty's rattan cane to sensitive sur faces.
 By the time the last dash of carmine In the cupids bow of her majesty's upper lip has been made appropriate to the charm of woman at 40, the eunuchs have begun to admit the throngs into the hall of audience. They comprise usually the privileged ones of the court of Pekin-a vlceroy or two In favor supporters of the four candidates for the post of heir apparent and some member of the diplomatic corps bearing a personal message from his sovereign
 The progress of the imperial toilet is bulletined by the eunuchs. The fate of decree abolishing the opium traffic or the promulgation of an edlct for which a whole province is signing may depend upon the skill of the young lady with the rouge brush. Once the wig Is adjusted and the Empress has passed into the hall of audience-not to be confused with the grand apart ment In which the diplomatic corps is officially welcomed-the serious busi ness of Tsi Hsu's day commences. It may be summed up in the word evasion So dexterous has the aged woman be come in the art to which her life has been given that It Is a saying In some parts of Pekin that she has ceased to live, but is evading death.

HER SATURDAY LETTER.
rfffffffFffff
~NNN~~~~


 The pretty school teacher of a small town not long ago became aware, as she walked along the main street from the postofice, where she had just mailed . letter to her fance, of some one follow ing her and calling her name. She turned, and confronted the fat post master, bareheaded and apopletically crimson, puffing toward her with some thing clutched in his outstretched hand.
 Il been chasing ye most two blocks" he panted. Couldn't make ye hear, someways. Here's this letter you just posted-hasn't got his name on, seef
 Well, she must be deep in,' says I to Sam Duckett. This is the second times he's been too mazed to put the address on when she wrote to him.
 Sure it's him.? says Sam.
 "'Course I am,' says I. Hes the only one she writes to reg'lar, Sat days. Her home folks get their letter writ Sundays, and she mails 1t Monday morning on the way to school. Course it's him.
 "Tis, aln't 1t, ma'am? We'll, % l told Sam, and I'd ha' saved all this bother and addressed 1t for ye only for remembering that with scarlet fever and measles prevailing like they be just now, | strange hand might give the pore feller a start. So l follered ys instead. My, but you're q brisk goer Thought I'd never catch ye'"
 I'm very much obliged, I'm sure. and 1t was very careless of me, in- deed," said the girl, handing back tho letter addressed. But you say I've made this same mistake before. What became of my letter them"
 "Oh, there want any epidemics round then,' replied the postmaster, easily. "I just put on the address my self"
 "But-to whom? How could you know whom It was for?" she asked, q little startled.
 "Sat'd'y noon, same's this one," he replied, cheerfully. Tt always is him Sat'd'ys, now, ain't itT'
 The pretty teachers eyes flashed wide, then she dimpled. blushed and laughed. It was not possible to snub this elderly fat Cupid. so openly and lnnocently interested in her love affairs. "Yes,' she admitted, proudly, Sat urdays 1t always Is him. Thank you"

"Deaf Mutes" Talk.

It is misnomer to refer to any one as deaf and dumb" Except In rare instances a child is mute, not on ac. count of any malformation of the vocal organs, but because 1t Is deaf and has never heard spoken language.
 The loss of the sense of hearing should therefore not necessarily mean deprivation of the power of speech also.
 It Is only within recent years, says the Scientific American, that we have come to realize this fact, and in up-to- date institutions the old-fashioned fin ger alphabet Is now unknown. Every child is taught to speak in the natural way by means of the vocal organs.
