Altar or Roses.

The oil yielded by roses is very
little; hence il Is said that twenty
thousand blossoms are required 70

which sells for ten pounds sterling,
little fact which may suggest to the
lady that the real. Oriental altar
which she bought IN the Stamboul
Bazaar for ten shillings the ounce
was not quite what the M0siem
merchant so loudly swore by the
prophet II was. In reality, the true
altar Is almost invariably adulterat-
ed with sandle-wood oil, or diluted
with sweet salad oil, even In the
Indian bazaars close 10 the tar fam
ed rose gardens of Ghazapore. This
seems almost parionable when We
remember that. during unfavorable
seasous, il will take az many as one
thousand roses TO yield two grains
of the oil. In the forenoon the
blossoms are gathered by hand and

He Wasn't Dead.

A good story of Judge Bond, of the
United States District Court, Is told
by one of his Western friends. II
occurred in Boston, in 1871 The
two went TO call on medium. They
were shown many wonders. and at
last the Judge was told to write list
Tof names on a slip of paper, which
being done be was instructed to run
his finger down the list and stop
when the accustomed rap OF the Ia
bic was heard. When he got to the
middle Of the list a violent blow
was struck upon the table. There
upon a long conversation ensued be-
tween the Judge and the materializ-
ed spirit, in which were rehearsed
many astonishing facts most of
which the Judge had ingeniously
managed to drop in the opening OF
the conversation with the medium.
Finally the exhibitor suspected
something. and the spirit abrupt
ly departed.
Then the Judge fell into a brown
study, from which it was difficult to
arouse him. Suddenly looking up,
he said with the most admirably as
sumed tone of astouishment and
conviction
This is the most remarkable
thing ever dreamed Of | almost
doubt the power of Omnipotence to
equal It
~Ah," SAYS the medium, can
show you greater things than that ,
Further conversation ensued in a
similar strain. when Judge Bond
burst out with
- But | tell you, sir. I challenge
the Almighty to do such a thing.
Why, sir. can you believe it? | left
that gentleman not twenty minutes
ago on the steps of the Parker
House =
At this the medium became natu-
rally furious, and exclaimed:
= | told you to write the names of
the dead men on that list"
No" replied Judge Bond, with
a look ofchildlike simplicity, You
did not; you told me to write the
names of friends, and l did 80.
There isn't the name of single dead
man On that list.
II l. needless to add that the
Judge and his friend departed with
out ceremony.-Baltimore AmeTi-

after a moment she shook her lead,
and then, reading the questioning
look in those keen eyes, she said,
while the color deepened in her
face:

The door opened, and the brake
man called out the name OF the

the next moments were spent in
together her belongings.
He helped her of the train, and
her hand heartily as he
stood one instant there, and said

moving train, and she walked away

days to come The Current.

The Care OF . Watch.

A watch should be oiled once q
year and cleaned at least once in
three years. fla jsweler tells you
that there is very serious trouble or
q break in your watch. which viii
cost several dollars to get repaired.
ask him to take the watch down
and let ycu see the trouble. It is
better to wind your watch in the
morning than in the evening, since,
if you wind your watch and expose
it to cold, the chilling of the tightly
wound main spring may break it.
Frequently empty out the dust that
accumulates in your watch pocket.
