MARY SrUART'S APPAR1T1ON.
Its Last Appearance MS Witnessed
by the Countess of
CaithueS6

The frequent mention of the recent
restorations in Holyrood does not
seem to have reminded anybody of the
last apparition of Mary Stuart with
in the precincts she is said to haunt,
says the London Chronicle. Some 20
years ago the late countess of CATH
ness, who managed to combine spirit
ualism with Catholicism, induced the
marquis of Hamilton to allow her to
pass the. night in the apartments once
occupied by Mary Stuart, in which the
murder of Rizzio took place. 1t was
lovely moonlight night, and the count
ess, who was very romantic, deter.
mined to- visit the chapel, which she
did by descending the staircase up
which the conspirators assembled when
they assassinated Queen Mary's Ital-
ian secretary. She proceeded to the
raised altar before which Mary was
married Ito ~Darnley.~-
Suddenly the apparition of the I'M
fortunate queen appeared before her,
holding her severed head in her hands,
and, Notwithstanding the inconveni-
ence she must have experienced from
the singular position of her head, gave
Lady Caithness lengthy answer to
the charges brought against her. The
countess shortly afterward wrote .
small book containing the information
she received, a copy of which she pre-
scented to Queen Victoria, who re-
marked to the Late Lord Ely that sit
was very interesting, and so amusing"
When the spirit of the queen had, dis:
appeared Lady Caithness wished to re-
enter the palace, but found the door
closed. The sentinels, seeingsome one
wandering about in an unaccustomed
place at so late an hour, reused the por-
ter, who, doubling her ladyship's ac-
count OF. herself, locked her up for the
(srest. of tie night in his lodge.

Fnds in Portrait Painting.

One of the newest fads in portrait
painting is to portray the fair sitter
under the shade of her parasol. She
must seat herself in garden chair
and must hold her parasol over her
head, so that its shade falls upon her
face. None of her features is hid
den, but she is as under a becoming
canopy. A famous society painter of
England is making . speciality Of
these portraits, having done one Of
Princess Victoria and another of !
famous court beauty.

Kidnapped.

w. S. Cox, of the Brainerd Arena,
has been leading rather strenuous
life lately. Only few days ago he
was chased up a street by an irate poll
tician into a butchers ice box. A few
nights later, while visiting some
friends, three men called and forcibly
took him away to secluded spot about
two miles from town, and while one
of the men held revolver the others
poured tar over his head and shoulders.
Mr.. Cox claims that he knows two of
the men, and results will follow.

Object of Forestry.

Forestry is not the planting of trees
Tor ornament or for shade. It is the
science OF raising crops of trees for
profit on waste land-land that is too
h1lly' too rocky or too sandy for cult
walton. On such land, and including
elevated and exposed situations, the
pine will reach merchantable size in 80
years, and by its growth earn an aver
age net revenue of per cent. But
this is too long for individuals to wait
for a crop, and the state should buy
such tracts and keep them permanently
in revenue yielding coniferous forest.

of dollars of taxable property to tho
states of Louisiana and Texas, and,
in consequence, there are many VIII
lagos and thrifty towns scattered over
the country where few years ago
cattle ranged and the land was consid-
cred almost worthless. When the salt
water runs into the ba yous, the planter
must dig wells from which to irrigate
his rice fields, and as this is almost a
yearly occurrence it will be seen that
rice culture is attended with more
chances for failure than perhaps any
other crop. The rice farmer cannot
replant, for the water is too high, and
long remains so. Lands in the rice
belt that sold for Is and Is cents an
acre ten years ago, when the Illinois
and Missouri farmers began coming,
are now selling at $40 and $25 an acre.
1t has required energy, persever-
ance and experienced farming to bring
about this wonderful change-trans-
forming marshy prairie lands into
waving rice fields, and country of
wild grass into one of prosperity and
wealth. immigration agents are at
work in Iowa, Kansas, Illinois and
Missouri, securing farmers for tho
Louisiana and Texas coast country.
Experience has shown that they are
more desirable farmers than from
most other states, as they seem to un-
derstand better the cultivation of
prairie lands. Colonies of Japanese
and Chinese are also being brought
here, as they are much better field
hands than the negro. They seem to
stand the hot climate better, and are
more Industrious, and their industry
is stimulated by the amount of wages
paid. Many of the negroes work only
for their present needs, and, that is the
main trouble with the labor market.
The Chinese are not quarrelsome.
neither do they drink Intoxicating
liquors.. They will smoke opium, how
ever, but that Injuries only themselves,
and, unlike whisky, so stupefies the
victim to the habit that: he is powe r.
less for crime; consequently he is Of
no expense to the community. So far,
the importation of Chinese has been
in small colonies, but, like the Ber-
muda grass, when he. once gets foot
hold he is hard to uproot. They are
favorably received, however, the: peo-
pie looking at the matter as one of e x
pediency-they want the labor and do
not care for the color or nationality of
the man-machine that performs it.
Chinese are quick witted and learn
readily. They have their supersti-
tions, and so has the negro, who car
ries a rabbits foot as a guarantee ot
good luck, and kills his enemy who
places a dead frog under his door
steps. JIM. scANLAND.

2. Are the citizens of Oklahoma
