There is no plant or bush belonging
strictly to the Horticultural family which
is perhaps so long-lived as certain varie-
ties of the rose. We have heard of rose
trees-for really trees they were--in Eng
land which had grown to remarkably
large size, such as we never see here, in
consequence of the later settlement of the
country. some three or four hundred years
old, which covered about five or six hum
dred square feet of ground. and that
still appeared to be in perfect health and
bloomed regularly every year. To show
that we have some rose bushes here of
considerable age. we can say that a few
days ago Mr. Henry B. Drummer of this
place presented us with a cluster of very
old roses, one of which was particularly
So having been brought to this country in
1860 by the first of the lowering family
who settled in Roxborough, from their old
residence on the Prussian side of the
Rhine and was called Roxana, after the
wifes name. 1t is not a variety of much
size or especially attractive in appearance
but it is unusually fragrant and a constant
boomer. and on this account is highly de-
sirable. The longevity of a rose is owing
20 its being able to Withstand the extremes
of heat and cold The well-known vari-
ETY. called Hermosa is one of the hardest
known to our home list of roses, and,
though a constant bloomer, il is neither
attractive nor fragrant one of this kind
we have had growing in one place that
was set out in the spring of 1886, and
continues as thriving as ever.

A CENSUS or THE EARTH.
Comparative Figures of the worlds
Population.
From the Chleago Trlbune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The greatest undertaking OF It's kind in
the history of the world was recently set
on foot at the meeting OF the International
Statistical Institute in Berne Switzerland.
1t is proposed to take census Of all the
inhabitants Of the earth, and TO publish
the results at the opening Of the twentieth
century, Jan. /. 1901. The New York World
outlines the scheme and at the same time
gives some valuable statistics.
The enormous difficulty Of the work only
becomes apparent, IL says. when one con-
siders that at least two-thirds, and per
haps three-quarters Of the inhabitants OF
our planet dwell in lands none OF which
have yet been fully civilized. and many OF
which still remain In a condition OF bar
barism and even of savagery Yet the
purpose is, as far as II may prove possible
70 do, to include In the enumeration every
human being on whom the sun rises on a
particular day in the year 1900. II may
turn out impracticable to have the cen
sus made everywhere on the same day but
at any rate, such is the intention.
According 10 the scheme explorers and
census-takers are TO be sent to every at
tainable point on the globe and on the
chosen day as the sun begins It's course
rising over the yellow plains Of China. the
pencils Of the enumerators will commences
their work, and, keeping pace with the
daybreak as II runs westward round the
globe, they will record the existence, n NOT

Mango and Cauiiaovver pickles.

To pickle caulihower. select white. Nose
heads, sprinkle them with plenty of salt
and let them stand in an earthen dish
twenty-four hours Then drain, break up
in rather small pieces. and wash thor
oughly I'm cold water. Steam a few at a
time until they are tender; then put in
glass jars, or small stone ones. Make
a pickle by adding one-half pound of su-
gar, one ounce Of white pepper. and one
ounce Of whole mustard seed to half a
gallon of vinegar, and bringing II to a
scalding heat. Fill the Jars and cover
closely. To make mango pickles, take
small green musk melons, and cut piece
out of one side. then scrape out the seeds
carefully with a teaspoon. Make a strong
brine with salt and let the melons stand
In II twenty-four hours. Chop a head Of
white cabbage and four good-sized on
ions; add half a teacupful of grated horse
radsh. two tablespoonfuls OF white mus
tard seed, one tablespoonful OF cloves. Mix
all well together and put In a large-mouth-
ed jar. Pour scalding vinegar over them.
Let them stand four days. Pour Of the
vinegar and re-heat. Do this three times.
then throw away the vinegar and add
new. Green peppers can be substituted for
the melons II preferred.

A proper soil is composed of a turfy

top; press the soil down as it is placed
in, and afterward give It watering, and set
the pot in a cool place in the shade to
allow the roots TO start before the top
growth commences. During this time give
only sufficient water to keep the soil from
drying out When top growth commences
place the pot In a light place, and attend
TO watering as the plant appears TO need It..

DISTRICT COURT.

The term Of court this month is an
unusually quiet one. The usual rout-
inc business was gone through with
and only two jury cases were tried, one
of which, however (State vs.. Kathren)
excited considerable interest. The case
was first set for Thursday, February 4,
but it did not go to trial until Friday
afternoon, The jury before which the
case was tried consisted of the follow
ing persons:
). A. Stout, &C. Harmon,
J. |. Davis, Il. d. Brakey,
Lafayette Thomas, J. .Woollomes,
A. J. Howard, George Nay,
P. B. Cole, Guy Sparks,
g. Il. Taylor, r.. Taliaferro.
The case went to the jury at about 8
O'Clock on Friday afternoon and at
about l o'clock on Saturday. morning
the jury was discharged after having
agreed to disagree. The jury stood
nine for conviction and three for ac-
quittal. The case VIII consequently be
retired at the May term of court pro-
vided it is neither compromised nor dis
missed.
The defendant is charged with hay
ing given intoxicating liquor to VIM.
Morlan, minor. c. Wells, county at
torney, prosecuted the case and E.
Sample and G. NJ. Martin appeared as
counsel for the defendant.
On Saturday morning the case of
Field q Standiford VS.. Knowles, of
Wellington was tried with the follow
ing jury:
). a. Stout, Albert Bishop.
j. L. Davis, r. D. Brakey,
Layfayette Thomas, G. w Urton,
j. c. WOolomes, A. j. Howard,
u, L. Evans, Henry Warnstaff,
Geo. Nay, Jasper LittelI.
The case went to the jury shortly af-
ter noon and remained out until after
midnight when the court discharged
them as hung jury. The jurymen
were very nearly evenly DIVIDED. In
this case the plaintiffs sue the defen-
dant for commission for selling him,
or rather finding person to sell him a
bunch of cattle some time last spring.
1t seems that Mr.. Knowles asked Field
x Stamford to look up bunch of cat
tie and they did so and finally made ar
engagements to either purchase or direct
Knowles to bunch from Riley Lake.
Soon afterwards Knowles came down
from Wellington and brought about a
deal with Lake himself. The conten-
ton on the one hand is that Knowles
did the work himself and owed Field e.
Stamford nothing, aud on the other
that Field & Standiford were the per-
sons who brought about the deal and
are therefore entitled to the usual com.
mission. The case will probably be
brought up again at the next term of
court.
The jury was discharged for the
term on Saturday evening, and Monday
and yesterday were devoted to court
matters. Court will adjourn today.
