Reynolds, the alfalfa king 6f Union county, was In the city today, says the La Grande Observer, and stated that he now has 265 acres of alfalfa this year and expects to seed about 75 acres more for next season.

The new church will be on the site The gradual advance of thoughtful ness and good sense in all that Is con nected with death is something to be gratefully noted. Display and osten tation In funerals has long been con sidered in bad taste, and former ex travagances in mourning dress have become obsolete. The hideous and unhealthful crepe veil has dlsappear peared from the heads of those high In the world of good taste, and In many other ways common sense, as well as delicacy of feeling, have assert ed themselves. As civilization advances mourning customs will be relaxed and reformed until all the oppressive rules which have long burdened life will cease. The question of mourning dress has long occuoled the energies of social reform ers. Some women of strong moral and mental balance have discarded the whole uniform and paraphernalia of woe. In this country men have al most entirely dropped the fashion of wearing any kind of reminder of their losses by the great destroyer. Slowly the advance Is made. The world is u more cheerful, a brighter place be cause there are fewer figures shroud ed lit crepe walking around In It. As to the extravagances and ab surdities of popular funeral fashions. how slowly the clock of time moves with them. The poor woman, beggar ed by her husband's death, loads her self down with debts to give the poor relics of mortality an expensive cof fin, and a "carriage funeral." The man who never gave his wife a de cent gown In all their years of mar ried life, spends his few dollars and norrows more to dr.ss her body for the grave, and to carry It to be burled in state. Parents lavish uptfn the dead what Is needed to keep the breath of lifu In their living children. It All! take years and years again tc upioot the customs of centuries, Inforcod, as they are, by human love and grief. But the advance has be gun. The long line of the race, on Its march, will follow. Fashion leads, this time backed by the teachings of wisdom long henrd, but until lately unheeded. It Is a good sign when a good movement is taken up by leaders In social life, If they be real leaders. MERGER IS NOW COMPLETE. OLD TIME TRAVELING. fh lliftMiek Eaclam4 la tfc seveateeath Ceatarr. The Drat stagecoach between the two capitals, London and Edinburgh, ap pears to have been started lu 1638. It ran once a fortnight, and the fare was 4. The time taken to the Journey is not accurately known, but between York and London It was four days. This lavish system of communication was not, however, kept up, as In 1703 the coach ran between London and Edinburgh once a month only, taking a fortnight, If the weather was favor able, to the Journey. In the days of stagecoaches people sometimes clubbed together and hired a postchalse for their Journey as being quicker and less expensive, and Scot tish newspapers occasionally contain ed advertisements to the effect that a person about to proceed to Loudon would be glud to hear of a fellow "ad venturer" or two bent on the suiuc Journey to share the expense. In 1754 a heroic effort was made to improve the Loudon and Edinburgh coach. The Edinburgh Couraitt for that year contained the following ad vertisement: "The Edinburgh stage coach, for the better accommodation of passengers, will be altered to a genteel two end glass coach, being on steel springs, exceeding light and easy, to go In ten days In summer and twelve In winter, to set out the first Tuesday In March mid continue it from Ilosea Eostgnte's. lie Coach and Horses, In Dean streu Riho London, and from John Somorvlllc's. in the Canongate, Edinburgh, etc. Passengers to pay as usual.

Ireland Is rich in castles und ruins. One of the most ancient of these Is the Grlanan of Aileach, a ruin that stands on the heights above the Swllly and which was centuries ago the stronghold of the northern princes. Around this fort many battles were fought. Hosts swarmed over the ad jacent hills or fled down the river, and In those deadly engagements scenes were enacted that often cast a gloom over the whole country and wrecked the social life of Erin. As England gained power she strove emiln nn.l r. avm tin. uuiu wiiu amu iu tin l mi iuuucuw over the sister Isle, but warriors like Strongbow spumed a "foreign" su premacy and when the battle went against them found a safe retreat In the bogs, the valleys and the hills of that lonely country, only to sally forth to avenge themselves anew upon tbelr enemies. The rock of Cashcl, Dunluce castle and many other spots were the center of these fearful combats. The picturesque ruins of Sllgo abbey. built by Maurice Fitzgerald In A. IJ. 1253, and the more imposing propor tions of Donegal castle are silent wit nesses of a progress that proceeded steadily In spite of these disturbances, Pearson's Weekly.

Lewlston Teller. Vital Heat of Vegetables, It will be a novel thought to many that not only animals, but vegetables also, generate a degree of beat by their life processes. It has been ob served that the sap of healthy trees If not affected, as other liquids are, by frost; that the Inner parts of fibrous plants are warmer than the air on cold days, and that snow melts more rapid ly at the foot of living trees than around dead ones. Some vegetable of their own accord grow warmer un til midday and then cool off again hs the sun declines. The act of flowering has also been found to give rise to tin Increase of temperature.
