HIMALAYAN WOMEN.
How the Females OF Indian Mountsi
Tribes Dress.


How the Females Of Indian Mountain
Tribes Dress.
On the slopes Of the Himalayas there
are many curious tribes. Some OF the
tribes near Darjeeling reckon a journey
by the number Of guilds of tobacco
which they chew upon the way, and
some Of the most gorgeous specimens
Of Hindoo jewelry have seen | saw on
the women Of Himalayas. ! remember
one mountain pink who had fifty rupees
strung around her neck, and whose
limbs were loaded down with silver.
She had gold plates twice the diameter
Of silver dollars upon her ears, and her
mouth was covered by fiat gold nose
ring. Some of these Himalaya tribes
have one wife to four men and poly
andry is common. Here at Bombay
are the prettiest women Of India They
are the Parsees. With delicate, olive
brown skins, they are tall and we'll
shaped, have beautiful eyes and fine
intellectual faces.
They>dress in silks Of the most deli
cate colors and the dress seems to con-
sist Of one large piece OF silk,
which is wound around the waist
and then carried up over the
body and the top OF the head, SO that
the face looks out and the whole hangs
in a beautiful drapery. Many OF
them, note, have silk stockings and
slippers to match the color of their
dresses, and they are the brightest and
prettiest women l have seen. The
Parsees are sun worshipers There
are only about 70, 900 of them in India,
and $4,000 OF these are here in Bonn
bay. The men dress in long, preacher
like clothes OF black, with hats shaped
like coal-scuttles, and they are very
fine-looking Their dress, when not in
business, is often the whitest of linen
coats and shirts. They are the best
business men in the world. They own
millions of dollars worth Of property
here in Bombay, and are largely inter.
ested in the trade of India. They are
more akin to the Christians than the
Hindoos in their methods Of living.
They believe in spending their money.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Importance of Varieties in tho Re clama.
ton of Soil
MANY soils that have been consid-
cred unfit for certain plants have been
condemned because the proper variety
OF fruits or vegetables were not adapt.
ed to the soil. The fault has been in
the variety Of plants and not in the
soil. In one section Of New Jersey all
attempts to engage in peach growing
failed for many years, yet at the pres.
ent time that same section can boast
to-day of some of the best peach
orchards in the United States. The
difficulty was that the fruit-growers,
in the endeavOr to secure early
peaches, selected varieties that woulG
not thrive with the best of care. In
one orchard where the Troth's Early,
Oldmixion, Cawfords Late and
Stump the World varieties were plant
ed side by side and subject to the
same conditions of treatment, the
Troth's Early trees died, while the
others grew and are now in full bear
ing.
Trees sometimes make excellent
growth and give every appearance of
being adapted to the soil and climate.
but fail to yield perfect fruit. In
stances are known in which the Seek
ell pear tree grows faster than the
Clapp or Bartlett varieties, but while
the latter yield fruit Of the best quail
ity the Seckel pears are rough and in
variably crack before ripening; yet
this variety of pears is almost sure
crop in other sections. The corn crop
is an illustration of the Importance Of
knowing the variety to select, az the
seed from one section when planted in
another fails to produce crop and
the same rule is applicable to trees
and small fruit. 1t requires several
years to learn from experience OF the
merits of the different varieties, and
for that reason the old and tried kinds
should never be changed until expert
ments have been made and the superb
GRITTY of the newer kinds demonstrated.
1t is not the degree OF heat or cold
that causes the difference in climatic
effect on varieties entirely, for some
thing depends on the humidity of the
atmosphere. Some varieties prefer a
dry climate. compared with other
kinds, and the crops that seem to have
the greatest proportion of moisture in
their composition are sometimes more
quickly injured by long-continued
rains, at all stages of growth, than
those that contain less water. The
melon is a case of this kind. 1t pre-.
fers dry, sandy soil, and thrives best
when the summers are warm and the
rains less frequent. While the tenn
perature of tn e United States, in all
sections, may be adapted to the vigor-
Gus growth of plant. all attempts IL
secure perfect fruit from such may
fail. as with the gooseberry, yet by
careful selection and attention devoted
to certain varieties the gooseberry has
been greatly improved. Both the eli
mate and the soil must be considered
in the selection Of variety, and
though one can not always succeed
even after long experience, a selection
OF that variety which has given tie
best results will avoid at least q to al
failure.-Philadelphia Rec ord.

1t is important that newly planted
trees be shaded from the sun. Straw

for this purpose.

The lawn mower will assist in kill

weeds die and disappear if not allowed
to go to seed, but if seed be produced
the weeds spring up next season. By

cut down, and il the work be well done
the weeds will be replaced by thicker

MlNNESOTA'S WHEAT.
The Best Crop Harvested in Six Years-Th
 Figures Given.

The Best Crop Harvested in Six Years-The
 Figures Given.
 ''The wheat crop in Minnesota and the Dakotas will reach S5 ,000 ,0OO bushels. and I think will go to 9O,OOO, ,OOO.' The. cheering announcement of Col. G. D. Rogers, the edi- tor of the ''Market Record" of Minneapolis. ''It will be the best crop harvested in six years," said Manager A. B. Robbins of the Northwestern Elevator Co.," There is conti- dence on every hand and the above are the sentiments of grain men gen. , erally. Two weeks ago a few made pre- dictions of 80 ,O00 ,0O0 bushels, and majority said the claim was too high. Now an increase of 1000 ,OOO above that figure is not regarded as unreasonable. The samples of wheat shown by the various elevator lines from houses widely apart show an almost even uniform excellence. The kernel is bright and plump, in striking contrast to those of last year, which had a dull appearance with shrunken kernel, in some cases almost en- tirely without filling. Ifno accident happens to the crop in Dakota or Minnesota in the next 10 days there will be piled up in the granaries magnificent crop of wheat, the quality of which has seldom, if ever, been equaled, the weight being 60 ponnds to the bushel. It is expected that with no storms the crop in Minnesota will be harvested in 10 days and in the Dakotas ill 15 days.
