There is an attorney in town who
is telling of a little experience ht
lately had with an odd character from
the rural districts, says the Mime
apolls Journal. 1t seems that the
granger went to the lawyers office
for the purpose Of getting a deed
made out for some swamp land he
was selling. The listener of woe:
heard the old mans request, and
then, picking up his pen and paper
he proceeded to jot down the particu
lars in the deal. "Your name?" from
the attorney. "Philip Ward" from
the farmer. "What is your wife!

as many bald women as there are bald
men, and for these there are all sorts OF
devices for covering up their misery.
The great difficulty Is In the parting that

Is all a mess 1t is sure to look like what
IL is-a wig. But this fillet Is just the
thing. Many women are not entirely
bald, but their front hair Is tn n. They
cannot have q really nice bang. They
are thin at the temples and scraRgly In
the middle. For these there is bang
that will fasten onto the fillet, and the
whole will go on together and look Just
too sweet and natural for anything. The
wise girl who does not have to put her
fillet to such use, will be careful to
clasp it about her head just above the
part. But the other girl need not mind.
She will not be suspected unless the
other girl tells.
Little girls are their mothers dolls,

of eyes seems scarce sufficient TO be up

THE progress of the new Territory
of Oklahoma, as shown by the annual
report of Gov. Seay, is remarkable
even in these days of remarkable
things. 1t was in the spring Of 1890
that the Territorial bill passed Con-
gress, and since that time the popu-
lation has more than doubled, being
1873, 100 in 1892 as compared with
GO, 41O in 1890, not counting the In
dams who still maintain their tribal
relations. The taxable property OF
the Territory, exclusive OF six coun-
ties where assessments have not yet
been made, is given at Gil, 4S5, 1872,
which is an increase for the year OF
"a, 6O6, 233. The real and personal
property is estimated at $40, 600, 600,
and there are five national banks,
four incorporated banks, and four
teen private banks, the national
banks having deposit account Of
$3.50, 900. The school population is
81, 926, an increase for the year of
1888, and the schools are said to be
in excellent condition. A Territorial
University also has been established.
The farmer of Oklahoma has no ca
son to complain, as the soil has dem
onstrated its adaptability for pro-
ducing large crops of all the staple
cereals, vegetables and fruits, while
the 16O-acre farms will average fifty
acres each in cultivation. Evidently
the new Territory has great future
in store, and it is little wonder thai
it's people, .elated with all these eyi
dences OF its astonishing growth anC
substantial conditions, already are
beginning to consider the proprietl
of asking Congress for admission Il
the Union.

In the final encounter at Boston
between the champions of the first
and second series" of the baseball
year the bean-eating professionals I'M
mistakably proved their superiority
over the professionals from Cleveland
by winning their fifth consecutive
victory and the pennant. Thus ends
the base ball year of 1892. Now that
it is over, the most obvious comment
is that it hasn't been much Of a year
after all. Indeed, unless the next
year shall offer better things we shall
have very small hopes for the future
of the national game. We leave the
"magnates" to diagnose their own
case; but so far as can be judged by
the uninformed public there has been
little too much fine figuring and too
little old-fashioned baseball to suit
popular taste.

The Rose I'm Commerce.

In trade the rose is very valuable
as the affairs of India and Persia sci
at a very high price, and there are
large districts Of rose gardens, in
which numbers of men and women
are employed-the harvest months
being March and April; in Turkey,
also, rose farming is largely carried
on, and a very fine altar is got from
the roses grown in Cashmere. Even
rose-water is luxury which is by nc
means to be despised as to price, but
the altar of roses Is immensely costly,
as it takes an enormous number OF
flowers to distil even a few drops.
The altar is said to have been first
discovered by the favorite wife OF
Jehan Jeer, through whose garden
ran a canal of rose-water, on the sur
face of which the Begun found few
drops of the precious altar or oil
floating.
The petals of the tea rose, a species
of Noisette with a very fine fra
GRANGE, are used in China as flavor
ing for teas. A mild astringent
syrup is made from the petals Of the
French rose; and the hundred-leaved
rose, a variety well known to the
ancients, and originally found in the
Caucasus, is also used to make rose
water and a medicinal syrup. A vim
egar made from roses Is used FOL
headaches; a conserve OF roses and
sugar is given incidentally to chill
dren, and the fruit or hip is also used
as a medicinal conserve; while on the
continent dried hips are used tt
flavor soups and stews, and one ever
hears of them being preserved II
sugar or made into q kind of jelly.
The first cultivated rose is said tx
have been planted in Britain In A. ID
1922. The damask rose was brought
from France in 1873, the moss ross
about 1724, and the China rose some
fifty years later. Wild roses are
however, natives of all parts Of Brit
ain. In Withering's British Bot
