R. & Nv is now making the inal Burvey between Rondowa and Lewiston and in a fe w months will have all the data necessary for letting con struction contracts. , Troy is on the west bank of the rande Ronde at the mouth of ths VVenaha river. AH north country roads lead to Troy. The county put in a ridge across the Wenaha two years igo, and a $10,000 steel bridge across lie Grande Ronde is under construction this summer. Troy is the center of the finest fruit region in all the northwest. Tens of thousands of acres of bench land on which grows the finest apples, pears, peaches, plums and prunes, are tribu tary to Troy. Millions on millions ol feet of the largest and best timber will be manufactured into lumber at Troy. These are only a partial list of the vast natural resources tributary to this new town. So far, 94 lots on five ' streets, : com prising eight blocks, have been laid out. The streets are 60 feet wide and on the large blocks the alleys are 20 feet wide.

Presumably It was uot ever so. for Invitations to breakfast were ouce commou enough, and uot so long ago eltlier. Mr. Uludstiuie used to have guests to breakfast every Thurs day morning ns recently as 1S84, uud It was thought sullkleut to supply teu aud coffee, oggs. bread and bultcr and perbnps some cold meat. Hut the really solid breakfast bad come Into fashion long before then, and It Is said that the English learued the fash ion from the Scotch. Motley, when be was ambassador to Kiiglnud, found that the substantia! breakfast was grievously opposed to the simpler cus toms of his own country. He says, "When I reflected that nil these peo ple would lunch at and dine at 8 I bowed my bead In humiliation, uud tbe fork dropped from my nerveless grasp." Argouaut. Big Clocks. The big clock of tbe Metropolitan tower at Mudlsou square. New York, la by long odds the costliest aud most elaborate public timepiece ever con structed and is tbe only great clock in tbe world operated wholly by electric ity without the touch of human bands. Some of Its other Wonders are Its size, being the largest four dial tower clock and the third largest clock of any size la the world, and its altitude, which Is tbe highest of auy clock lu tbe world. It lias also the btggest and heaviest striking bell. The other three largest clocks are the one face dial of the Colgate fac tory In Jersey City, which Is forty feet across, the next In sbr.e of mammoth public chronometers being the dial at St. ftombort's. lu the old city of Ma llues. In Belgium, whleb is thirty-nine feet across.

A Wond.rful F.it. In Its review of Pierre de Vasslere's book "Le Mori du Hoi" the Neueste Nucbrh bteti dwells upon the account of the last seven minutes of Louie XVI. as described In the book. These were betweeu 10:13, when the king ar rived at the foot of the guillotine, and 10:22. "when a shot tired at the end of tbe Champs Klysees. uo one knows by whom, gave notice (bat the head had fallen."

In tbe village of Elstow there is abundant material that la visibly asso ciated witb Jobn Bunyau. Tbe isolat ed church tower contains the very bells in tbe ringing of which Buuyan rejoiced and afterward- trembled. Above all there must be mentioned tbe wicket gate which figures early Id the story of ' Pilgrim' Progress." The wicket gate of "Pilgrim's Progress" Is commonly represented as a garden gate or a turnpike gate, but really tbe term denotes a small doorway cut out of a large door. Concealed behind a tree at the west end of Elstow church is Just such a small doorway in tbe broad wooden surface of tbe great door. Through this lowly opening Bunyau must often have passed wben a boy. Harper's Weekly. The Major's Value. "Major Bunks." said a veteran, "was a pompous chap. The boys bad a good deal Of fun ouce over his exchange. 'it seems that ou a very dark night a stalwart Confederate. took the major prisoner. This fact, together with tbe uarrutive of the prisoner's return to camp, was signaled to headquarters tersely: ' 'Major Bunks, raptured ' during night march, exchanged later for two plugs tobacco.'" The Lilies. Two thousand years ugo It was sup posed that water lilies closed their flowers at night and retreated far un der water, to emerge again at sunrise. This was Pliny's view, and It was not Impeached until the , English botanist Just about now 'AS we get along toward midsummer in the clothing business, we begin to look forward to the coming fall; the new goods are ordered for you for fall and winter; and that means that we ought to clean up our spring and summer stocks and dispose of all the goods we have on hand. Now, that means that we must offer some sort of extra inducement to you to come in aud buy; an in ducement that will make it worth while to buy, even if you've already bought summer clothes; you'll never have.more than enough of our kind.

"My Lord Sandwich this day writes nie word that be hath seen at Portsmouth the comet and says It Is the uiost extraordinary thing be ever saw." Again, three days later, be writes. "Having sat up all ulgbt till past 2 o'clock this morning, our porter, being appointed, comes and tells 08 that tbe bellman tells him that tbe star Is seen upon Tower bill, so I and my boy to Tower bill. It being a most line bright moonshine nlgbt and a great frost, but no eoniet to be seen." Later tbe same day, however.
