Tbe town of Lebanon in Linn county
has a woolen mill in successful operation
that cost (120,000.
The Chinese suppose that the number
of blossoms on a "China lily" indicate
the degree of good luck in store for its
possessor in the new year.
The Eugene Guard makes a lfttle kick
at the idea of The Dalles gettiug $100,
000 from the government for a public
building. The Guard is needlessly
wasting its strength. It will be time
enough to kick in earnest when the ap
propriation is made.
. The Chronicle taliavna
McKinley spoke the sentiments of the
ast majority of all classes and political
creeds west of the Mississippi when ha
" said : "There is one thing that they all
might as well make up their minda to
down east: That they can't have wool
free when it comes from the sheen's
back rnd put a tariff on it when it comes
on our backs. They cannot have wool
come into their factories in New Eng-
land free, and come out of their factor
ies with a tariff to the American people."
Some folks are poking fun at the
Chronicle reporter for saying that the
grounds around the Joles mansion were
now beautified by the presence of "a
pair of peacocks a male and a female."
Now really all the Chronicle did was t
follow a very common usage of the word,
as iny one may see by consulting Web
ster, and apply it to the species instead
of the sex. However the blunder is not
ibalf so bad as that made by a country
anan of the writer who was at one time,
and may be yet an alderman for one of
the wards of New York City. At a
meeting of the council a question came
-up for beautifying Central Park when a
Mr. Murphy arose and said : "Misther
President I am jist afther payin' a yisit
to Ynrrip an whin there I spint some
time in the city of Venice where I wus
' mightily taken with the beautiful gon--dolias
that they hiv on the bay and I
move you sur.that we send over for a
dozen of them an put them in the Cin
tral Park lakes'. Before the motion was
put our friend arose and said, "I would
loike to ax me frind Murphy how much
these gondilias would be likely to cost,"
Mr. Murphy replied that he though
they could be laid down in New-York
for about 200 a piece. "In that case"
replied the Irishman I objict to spindin'
so much money on thim and I move as
m am ind merit that we send for a couple
-of them, a male and a female, and let
mature take its coorse."
What a, Baby I11 Za One Hour. -
TtJncle Will, the good natured bachelor
of the family, was left in charge of the
baby one day while every one else was
out, and out of curiosity he made a list
of what the baby did in one hour. Hera
it is:
Yelled fifteen minutes without taking
breath. (Uncle Will declares solemnly
that this is a true statement.)
Pulled out enough hair from his uncle's
head and whiskers to stuff a sofa pillow.
Crocked the wall paper as high as he
could reach with the poker. .
Broke a stereoscope by sitting down
on it.
Swallowed six buttons and a good
part of a spool of thread.
Emptied the contents of his mother's
workbasket down the furnace register.
Tried to squeeze the head of the cat
into a tin cup, and was scratched -badly
in the attempt.
Knocked the head off of a fine wax
doll belonging to his older sister by try
ing to drive a tack into a toy wagon
with it. .
Fell off the edge of the whatnot add
brought down with him two costly vases
which were ruined.
Broke two panes of window glass with
a cane which uncle let him have.
Fell into the coalhod and spoiled his
new white dress.
Set fire to the carpet while uncle was
out of the room hunting up'something to
amuse him.
. Crawled tinder the bed and refused to
come out unless uncle would give him
the molasses jug.
Got twisted into the rungs of a chair
which had to be broken to get him out.
Poured a pitcher of water into his
mother's best shoes.
Finally, when he saw his' mother com
ing, he ran out to the porch and tumbled
off the steps, making his nose bleed and
tearing a hole a foot square In his dress.
And yet Uncle Will thinks that boy
will makv something yet. Youth's Com
panion. ;
no Dewcmduil of Two Sisters Aro avt
the Bead of Many Conatriea.
It is not generally known that the
reigning houses of Europe, with few ex
ceptions, are descended from two sisters,
the one being the mother of almost all
of the Catholic princes and princesses,
and the other of the majority of those
of the evangelical confession. The late
Frederick Theodore Bichter, the his
torian, first discovered this interesting
historical fact in 1876. The genealogical
records of the various families in proof
of the assertion of Bichter, however,
have been published for the first time by
Dr. Ottokar Lorenz, professor of history
in the University of Jena.
The parents of .the two sisters whose
descendants have, become so powerful
were two German rulers of comparative
insignificance: Duke Louis Rudolph of
Brunswick-Wolfenbnettel, who died in
1735, and his wife, Christine Louis, who
departed this life in 1747 a daughter of
Prince Albrecht Ernst of Oettingen.
The elder daughter of the ducal pair,
the Princess ; Elizabeth Christine, after
her conversion to the Catholic cfturch,
married in 1708 the subsequent Emperor
Charles-VI of Germany. .
. The - Empress Elizabeth Christine,
through her daughter,' Maria Theresia,
the ancestor of the houses of Habsburg
Lothringia, Tuscany, Sicily and Modena,
and through the marriages of female
descendants the reigning families of
Portugal, Brazil and Italy (Savoy-Ca-rignan),
Saxony, the present reigning
families of .Spain and Bavaria, the Span
ish Bourbons and all of the Orleans fam
ily. These descendants number all told
about 400, and belong in the majority of
instances to the Catholic church.
The second daughter of the ducal pair
mentioned above, the Princess Antoi
nette Amalie, married her cousin, .Duke
Ferdinand II of Brunswick-Bevern. The
fruits of this marriage were three daugh
ters, the Princesses Louise, Amalie and
Julianne, and one son, the Duke Carl.
From Princess Louise-Amalie, who mar
ried Prince August William of Prussia,
a brother of Frederick the Great, and
thus became the mother of Frederick
William II, is descended the present
royal house of Prussia. Through the
marriages of other female descendants
she is also the female progenitor of the
reigning families of Russia, Mecklen-burg-Schwerin,
Baden and the Nether
lands. The second daughter of the Princess
Antoinette Amalie, the Princess Sophie,
became the wife of Duke Ernst Friedric
of Coburg-Saalfield, and the ancestor in
the female line of the entire house of Co
burg, and through it of the ruling fami
lies of England, Belgium, Hesse-Darm
stadt ana Portugal.
The third daughter of the Princess An
toinette Amalie, the Princess Julianne,
married King Frederic V of Denmark.
From her are descended the reigning
houses of Denmark, Holstein-Gluecks-burg,
Hesse-Cassel and Greece.
Finally, from Duke Carl of RmnnW
who died in 1780, the only son of Prin
cess Antoinette Amalie, was descended
the house of Brunswick, which became
extinct in 1883 bv the death of r.n lata
duke. Thus Antoinette Amalie, who was
gathered to her ancestors in 1762, has had
365 descendants, who, with few excep
tions, profess the Protestant form of be
lief. Duke Louis Budolph, who died in
1735, has had up to the present time al
most 800 descendants, including almost
all of the ruling families in Europe.

A Curious Indian Custom.
In the original settlernenfa in RHHsh
Columbia a peculiar institution occa
sioned erala times for the red men nmv
and then. This was the "nottatoh "
thing to us so foreign, even in the im
pulse of which it is begotten, that we
have no word or phrase to give its mean
ing. It is a feast and merrymakim? at
the exrienseof some man who lma au-iwi
or saved what he deems considerable
weaitn, and who desires to distribute
every iota of it at once in edibles and
drinkables among the people of his tribe
or village. He does this because he as
pires to a chieftainship or merely for the
credit of a potlatch" a high distinc
tion." Indians have been lrnnwn s

How Auclenta gqsared tbe Cirel.
The rule criven bv AhinnnrftnnirM that
the diameter of a circle shall be short
ened by one-ninth, and a square erected
upon wis snortenea line. The area of
such a square approximates the area of
the circle, but, of course, is not exact,
and is not even as close a result as that
at vThich other geometricians have ar
rived. ,
. The Babylonians, who were also great
mathematicians, had a solution, to which
a reference in the Talmud has been
traced. The Babylonian method, how
ever, was not a quadrature, but a recti
fication of the circumference. All the

. Homo Mad Dolls Cheaper.
A "doll with real hair" is the desire of
most small girls. As a rule, only the
expensive varieties of dolls are so en
dowed. "But," suggests a close shop
per, "1 buy a seventy-five cent doll, for
which I get a good kid body with bisque
arms and feet; and then at some small
hairdresser's I get the jute curls replaced
with a wig of real hair at much less ex
pense than I could buy the doll thus en
dowed in the first place." New York
Times.
Hoofprints of the Musk Ox. -
Vasey Bays the hoofprints of the musk
ox resemble those of the barren ground
caribou so closely as to easily deceive
the unaccustomed eye. The external
hoof is rounded, the internal pointed.

A Vleiooa Hwt.
An Auburn businesa man and a trimA I
were out nuntmg tbe other day."-, A big
hawk flew over their : heads and they
blazed away at, him. The shot broke
the bird's wing and he came to the
ground, alighting on bis back. 1 He was
unable to turnover and get upon his
feet, but was lively just the same, as the
Auburn hunters found before they suc
ceeded in killing him. -
The business man placed the ramrod
of his gun in the hawk's big, grasping
claws, all of which straightaway closed,
like the jaws of an enraged mud turtle
snapping at a stick in the hands of mis
chievous boy. With the claws thus
taken care of the business 'man's friend
proceeded to wring the bird's neck. In
the earlier stages of the operation the
harder the friend worked the tighter
would the hawk grasp the iron ramrod
and flap its wings.
All this was fun for the hunters, who
after a long struggle declared them
selves winners of - the scrap. They had
hardly so proclaimed when the bird got
bis wind, and leaving the ramrod vi
ciously attacked his persecutors.
As fate would have it, the business
man's friend, being nearest, was the first
to catch it. The hawk lighted on bis
wrist, and the way he stuck there was a
caution. One claw sunk deep into the
hunter's wrist, and he called loud and
long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some
thing must be done at the risk of his
life, finally went to his friend's rescue.
He got a good hold on the sunken claw,
braced his feet against a rock, and was
successful in pulling it out. As the
claw came out, the hawk fell back and
in a moment was still in death. They
found that the bird's .wings measured
three feet and ten inches from tip to tip.

Giving: Wood a Good Color.
Many hard woods of superior color
and grain may be greatly improved by
treatment. The graining or marking of
the wood is always a beautiful feature,
and it can be greatly improved and ac
centuated, if faint, by giving the entire
piece one coat of raw oil, and then with
a camel's hair brush going over the vari
ous lines and veinings several times.
Each coat increases the color. A slight
coat of varnish will help to keep the
color. New York Tribune.
