HOP MERCHANTS ARE
= NOT TALKATIVE NOW

Hop merchants Of Salem are today
lounging about and smiling, They re-
fuse to talk They seem to have "some-
thing ON the inside" so to speak, and
they are holding out this information.
Just what the nature Of the advices
are, can only be guessed, as when a
merchant won't talk, it is difficult to
even form an opinion as to which way
the cat will jump in the near future.
The local market is quiet, however,
and the growers are not showing any
great desire to unload their crops. New
ertheless, hops may go a hopping sky
ward again at any moment, and the
merchants evidently forsee something
of this nature. The few growers seen
today only grin and remark that they
do not need the money just yet, and are
willing to rest on their oars.

PAID WITH A FLAG.
Rich Ducal Estates In England With a
Curloua Rental.

II is not generally known that on
the anniversary of Waterloo each year
June ls. 1915, was the original day
the Duke Of Wellington is required to
present the sovereign with new flag
bearing the French colors as an ac-
acknowledgement that his grace holds the
manor Of Strathheldsaye at the will
and pleasure of the king, that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as a national gift for his success over
Napoleon AT Waterloo,
The ceremony Of the presentation Of
the dag is today much shorn Of its
ancient glory. for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horsebar'' and personally offered 1t
to the monarch. Nowadays 1t Is sent
by deputy. however. and is then placed
by some appointed equerry in the po-
sition assigned to it-namely, over the
marble bust of the old Duke Of Wei
lington that stands on It's pedestal In
the guardroom at Windsor castle. The
flag which has rested there during the
preceding year is then taken down and
returned to the dukes messenger.
1t is on the special condition of thus
rendering this annual tribute Of feudal
service. as we may call It. that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. II
he omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates.
The same principle applies to the
beautiful domains of Blenheim held
by the Duke of Marlborough. who sim
ilarly has to send a new Gag on each
anniversary Of the battle (Aug. 10,

Wrote His MASTERPIECES.

And the Atelo hoom IN Wnio" w
Wrote His Masterpiece.
A graphic description OF visit TO
Victor Hugo in Guernsey and Of his
quaint home there is given by the late
Sir william Butler in his autobiogra-
ply:
"Of the many curious things to be
seen In Hauteville house the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. he
had built it on the roof between two
great blocks of chimneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resemDled
ladder. Quite half Of the room was
glass, and the view from 1t was mag
nificent. The isles of Jethou and Sark
were in the middle distance, and be-
yond lay many mile of the Norman
coast. Alderney lay to the north. and
beyond it one saw the glistening win
dows Of the triple lighthouses Of the
Casauet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was a small camp
DeuSLcdu, VIII bubic VI ShO oANS "
II and small desk chest Of drawers
on the other, with pens, ink and paper
always within reach.
"Near the bed stood a small stove
which he lighted himself every morn
ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait; then work began at the large
table which stood in the glass alcove
few feet from the foot OF the bed.
This work went on till 1t was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room on the ground floor already de-
scribed. As the sheets of writing pa
per were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor, to be
picked up, arranged and put away in
the drawer desk at the end Of the
mornings labor. He called the writ
ing table his carpenters bench and
the leaves which fell from 1t his shaw
/ ings'
at was at this table and in this airy
attic that most of the great work of
his later life was done. Here were
written Les Miserables,' Les Travel
leurs de la Mer' and many volumes OF
| poetry"
