The evil of mounpnliea and ring was
known to oiicieiita, Arietotle referring
to tbein in bia "Politic," and then, as

them in clunk by leginlution. ' Tbe mo

they are now. At Athena a law lim

have was a corn "ring."
There is an ancient tradition that tbe
king who uiudo Joaejib bia prime win

entire admiiiietrMtiou of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi waa one of the shep

Egypt aa Joseph's pharnob. anems to

and bartered corn Mn-wwdvely for the
Egyptian money, cattle and lund, and,
taking oue-ilftb for pharaoh, made him
suprvmoly wealthy. It was not merely
a provldeut act, but a very politic one,
bis policy being to centralize power in
the monarch's bands. London An

There is a waiter In a Dearborn street
restaurnut who has discovered the sci
ence of reading man's occupation by
bis manner of eating. He can look into
tbe calm eye of a costoiuer engaged la
disarticulating a "ham and" and de
termine with wonderful accuracy
whether tbe man is a scissors grinder or
State street merchant.
Of course one most be a close observer
to do all tbis, and it isn't everybody
that is afforded a lunch counter for a
field of study. Yet if the student will
avail himself of opportunities while
seated at tbe mahogany board be will
find that when the business man is at
tbe table some habit acquired in tbo
luily pursuance of bis profession will
be sure to show itself.
For an instance, the banker may come
In and order wbeat cakes. If be does,
tbe waiter declares bo will invariably
dip his fingers in tbe water and run
over tbe cakes to see if there is a mis
count. Tbe gambler will look around to see
if any one is watching and tben palm a
slice of bread. If be orders flapjacks, be
is sure to slip thorn one by one from the
bottom as he eats them. Tbe clothing
salesman will hold bis flapjacks np to
the light and feel the texture, while the
keen observer will notice that the jew
eler, upon ordering pie, will bold it to
his ear, shake it and tben listen, after
which he will lift off the top crust with
tbe point of his knife and examine tbe
insides.
During an interivew tbe other day
tbe waiter statod that be called bia new
science "eatistry."
"I have not mastered my science
yet," said be, "and seldom a day passes
but that I learn some new point. Oh,
it's a great study, and I think in time
it will take its place along with palm
istry and phrenology and other kindred
sciences,"
"Have yon ever made a mistake in
judging a man's occupation?"
"Only ouce, and thwj could hardly be
called a mistake, for I made no decision
aa to the man's business. I confess I
was stumped. The follow came in and
ordered his dinner. Of course I gave
him a glass of water. He looked at it
with some surprise and said, 'I didn't
order that.'
" 'It costs yon nothing,' says I, 'and
yon don't need to drink it unless yon
want to.'
"He thanked me, and what do yon
think he broke his bread into it and
then ate it with a spoou. I didn't know
what to make of it, and for tbe life of
me I couldn't determine what his busi
ness was. When he was leaving, I tap
ped hira on tbe shoulder and asked him
outright what he did for a living.

OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY
The factory towns of the East are noted
for affording the best market to the neigh
boring farmers and gardeners in proportion
to the population of any of the towns in
that section. The reason for this is that
the people of these towns have a fixed in
come upon which they can always depend,
and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy
ers, paying cash for all their purchases.

Used by a Lawyer aa a Paperweight For
Years.
In the course of a lecture at the Ap
prentices' library A. E. Outerhridge,
Jr., relutod an interesting incident that
serves to show how mnch more careful
Uncle Sam is iu the destruction of old
dies for coins than he used to be. "Some
time ago, " said Mr. Outerhridge, "I
was visiting tbe office of a friend who is
a lawyer, when I noticed upon his desk
a little metal object, covered with three
or four coats of red paint, which was
apparently in use as a paperweight It
was a government die for a silver dollar
of 1809, and for my friend to have it in
his possession was a penal offense. He ,
did not know whnt it was until I told
him, and he informed me that it had
been around the office as a paperweight
as long as be could remember 40 years
at least. I gave him a silvrr weight in
its place and informed the authorities
at Washington of the circumstance, also
forwurdiug my friend's affidavit as to
what ho know about it
. "At that time, though all dies were
suppled to be destroyed when discord
ed, the system wus rather lax, and they
sometimes found their way into the pos
session of juuk dealers. Iagreod to turn
over uie did upon condition that it
should not be destroyed, bnt kept in tbe
numismatic collection at the Philadel
phia mint and that I might borrow it
at a future time to illustrate a lecture.
The conditions were agreed to, and I
have brought the die with me tonight
to show to you. I had to write a very
toraul letter to et it, stating the pur
poso for which it was to be used, and it
must be returned tomorrow morning. "

This is proven every day by the number

selling their produce, who, until just the
x last few years, sought the markets of other
towns. The system of macadamized roads
that is being built into all parts of Clack
