Crowns by Wholesale.

1t is told Of one of the ancient kings
of Egypt that his coronation process
sion occupied whole day in passing
through the city of Alexandria and
that 1920 crowns of gold were carried
by the servants. One crown was three
feet in height and twenty-four feet in
circumference. There were also car
r1ed In the procession sixty-four suits
OF golden armor, two boots of gold
four and half feet in length, twelve
golden basins, ten large vases of per-
fumes for the baths, twelve ewers,
fifty dishes and a large number Of
tables-all Of gold. Twenty-three Of
the 5000 crowns were valued at 1884,
400, and it is not surprising that the
procession was guarded by 10000 SOL
diers.-St. James Gazette.

A Strange Coincidence.

While blowing in field in October,
1908, W. n. Hopkinson of Derby lost
a valuable watch. The field was har
rowed and planted to corn the next
spring, but nothing was seen of the
watch, Last fall it was plowed again
and this spring sowed to oats and
stocked down. While rolling the field
last Saturday Mr.. Hopkinson saw the
watch. He picked it up, rubOed eff
the mud and wound it aud the faith
full timepiece began to run as though
nothing had happened. Mr.. Hop
kinson has had the watch II years
and his father used it IS years. 1t is
of solid silver and when found the
cases were not furnished.

Holly as a Medicine.

Few birds, except the missed thrush
when sharp set, ever touch holly ber-
ries, which are violently emetic" and
remain on the bushes for months Our
Incorporate ancestors used to swallow
holly berries after Christmas to cure
the effects Of their gargantuan fes-
tivities. Years ago some French ply
stefan pronounced a decoction of holly
leaves or an extract from the bark
called ''ilicine" to be superior to qui-
nine as tonic. Owing to commercial
and other difficulties the boom died
away, and ''ilicine" no longer appears
in the materia medica.-London Mail.

Seven Thousand years ago there ver,
trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon
and so strict were their rules that i,
some cases the penalty OF death wa
inflicted for infringing them Each
mans work was strictly defined. ant
even the number Of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated in the
charter of his guild or union Later
exactly the same state of affairs ez-
listed in Pompeii, and Inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap-
pointments OF officials to trades unions
The most powerful of these appears to
have been the Fishermen's guild.

The Clarity of MacauIax.

"Macaulay never wrote an obscure
sentence in his life," said John Morley,
and this is partly due to his exact use
of words. There is never any doubt
about his meaning. Macaulay began
the use of Latin words at an early
age. When four and a half years old
he was asked if he had got over the
toothache. to which question came
this reply: THE agony is abated."-J.

present wet season, IA inches, is equal
to the normal amount for the entire
IL months.
According to stockmen there has
never been time within the memory
of the white man when the range
conditions in the mountains and the
foothills were so good as at present
They say they never have seen such
grass as is now to be found and with
showers coming every few days the
grass will undoubtedly stay good for
several weeks to come, In che foot
hills and it will be good all summer
in the mountains.
Last season the summer range was
considered the best it had been in
many years but it is said that the con-
ditions this year are so far ahead Of
last year that there is no comparison.
The good grass conditions are not
due altogether to the spring rains, for
the snow which came early and staid
late not only furnished an abundance
OF moisture but it also supplied a
covering which protected the grass
from the frosts and enabled it to get
a good start before the snow disap-
peared. q

PROMISE OF GREAT
CROP THIS SEASON
OUTLOOK BRIGHTER THAN
TT EVER HAS BEEN
All Conditions Are Such That Bump
er Yield is Assured-Both Fall and
Spring SOwn Grain i'm Perfect
Shape-Range Conditions are Ideal.

1t is doubtful If there has ever been
a time in the history of Umatilla coun-
ty when the crop outlook was as
bright at this season of the year as
IL is at the present time. According
to reports from every section Of the
county the general conditions could
not be improved upon and the excep-
tions are so few as to be insignificant
and not worth considering.
There may have been seasons in
which the fall-sown grain was more
free from weeds and where the stands
were heavier but it is not believed
that there ever has been a year in
which both fall and spring-sown
grain so universally gave promise Of
an abundant harvest. The weedy
fields and those with thin stands are
said to have been those which were
sowed after the cold rains and which
in the language of the farmer
were "mudded in" Those who seed
ed their fields before the first hard
rains came, also have some weeds to
contend with but those who gave the
weeds a chance to start before putting
their seed in the ground and thereby
destroyed the weeds that had started,
report the cleanest wheat they have
ever grown.
The Helix country, one Of the BAN
ner wheat sections of the county is
said to be remarkably free of weeds
and judging from the reports receiv-
ed 1t is believed that the number of
weedy fields is comparatively small.
But it is the spring-sown grain that
is so much better than usual. This
is due to the ideal weather conditions
which have prevailed since the last
of February. There has been plenty
of sunshine and at the same time
there has been an abundance of mois-
ture. Showers have come whenever
needed and at the present time the ex-
cess precipitation is nearly three

EMPRESS STILL HOPES
FOR NAPOLEONIC ERA

Paris-Empress Eugenie, widow of
the last unfortunate ruler of the house
of Bonaparte, has given proof that she
still clings to the hope Of seeing a
descendant of the great Napoleon on
the throne of France.
Through her private secretary she
has few days ago made an an
'nouncement which will bring glad
ness to those old army veterans who
took part in the campaigns of the
second empire. An old Alsatian SOL
dier appealed for assistance to the
empress private secretary, and has
received a lengthy letter from the lat
ter.
The communication sets forth that
the empress intends to remember the
faithful soldiers Of the Emperor Ma
poleon III. There will be only one
condition attached to her majesty's
generosity, it is thus set forth
"As her majesty admits thai every
old soldier Of the empire has remain
ed faithful to the sacred cause, to the
imperial eagles, it is necessary, so
that her majesty may be assured of a
devotion Of which she, or rather the
legitimate heir to the throne, will per-
haps have need sooner than one
thinks, that she receives from you a
letter in which she will find the ex-
preston Of your unshakeable devotion
to the memory of Napoleon III, and
to the imperial cause. as well as the
expression of your mistrust of the
present regime"

agents. These receipts when properly
countersigned will entitle the visitors
to one-third rate on the homeward
trip.
