A Perfume Garden

A very little space will suffice to raise the sweetest of the perfume plants-the term being understood to mean those plants which in their flower. branch or root furnish a permanent fragrance, in form inn mediately available for use, says Grace Tabor, in Woman's Home Companion for April.
 Lavender comes at once to ev- eryone's mind in this connection, the famed sweet lavender of an. cient linen room and press being probably the most widely known of all these plants, familiar even to those who have little idea how it grows.
 The seed is listed. but it is better to buy the plant already started. for seedlings do not run true to variety. The lavendula were is the true sweet lavender. Give it an open light. rather dry soil and full sunlight and free air.
 It is shrubby and grows from 2 to 3 feet high; it's blossoms come in July and August and are equal ly fragrant Cut the flower stock with plenty of the surrounding green-the fragrance is in green corolia and even in leaf and branch in clear weather, in early flower and early in the morning before the dew is off the plant, and hang immediately to dry.

Everybody has a Day but Father

Governor Augustus E. Wilson of Kentucky has written Governor Mills of New Mexico the following letter. says the Morning Journal:
 My Dear Governor Mills:
 Il thank you eincerly for send- ing me your Mothers day proclaim ation. I did not issue one this year and Mrs. Wilson says was wrong. and ] fear that settles it, but I thought we would need next a grandmothers' day, and get around finally to place where everybody would have day but father, but it could not have done any hurt and would have pleased Miss Jarvis and pleased whole lot of people, and I think Mrs. Wilson is right that I made a mistake in not issu- ing a proclamation"

Need of Ranger Service

Always along the border line there are many opportunities for the carrying across the line of stolen property from one country to the other, and the old ranger force which was abolished by the last legislature had a good effect in put ting a stop to such things. At present there appears to be an epi- demic of horse stealing and it seems to be almost useless for the local officers to try and put stop to it, for the line is so long and unguard- ed in places that it is a compara- lively. easy matter for few men to do lot of stealing and then disap- pear in the wilds of Sonora until they have the opportunity to dis pose of their plunder. While the ranger force may not be of any use to the people in the upper part of the territory, still 10 those who live on the border it has always been recognized as necessity, to prevent the carrying of stolen stock across the border iuto Mexico, and it looks as if reorganization of the rangers would be very good thing to break up the gangs who are proving such a nuisance in this part of the territory- Wilcox Range News.

He Did Not Know Any Better

We heard young man making sport of religion in front of our office the other day. His nous tache had just begin to sprout and judging from his talk his mental faculties were not as we'll developed as his moustache. During our brief stay upon earth we have seen many just such young men cold in death. We have seen the atheist at rest in his casket, but before being con- signed to their last resting place they have all been carried through the doors of a church and had prayers said over them. This young man could scoff at religion in his strength and beauty of health. but if the dark angel should get after him he would instinctively regret what he said and look into the future with fear and trembling.
 When one stands before the open door of eternity his desire to scoff atreligion vanishes. We admit there are bad men in the church, but even these black sheep in the flock might be blacker if they were out side. No young man, or old one either, should condemn the noble efforts the army of Christian men and women are making towards bettering the condition of things. and whether we attend church or not, but few of us would desire to live in a community where there was no church.-Ex.

Man and the Earthquake.

Nothing shows the courage or forgetfulness of man more than the way in which he defies earthquakes perhaps the most terrible of our globes phenomena. The city of Cartago. once the capitol of Costa Rica, has been destroyed for the fifth time by a great shake. As soon as the tremers die away the people are sure to go back and rebuild it once more, living normal lives un- til the sixth wreck comes.
 Many of the great classic cities were subject to earthquakes, but they were not abandoned on ths { account. Antioch, in Syria, in it's day the third city Of the Roman Empire, was thrice laid in ruins with terrible loss of life, but it was invaria ply restored, and it never fell into decay until the Persians and Barbarians took it. Greece, Sicily and southern Italy have al ways been subject to earthquakes, but classic civilization never halted for such convulsions. nor indeed did classic combat. It is recorded that at the battle of the Trasimene Lake between Hanibal and the Romans many of the soldiers were thrown to the ground by a success sion of violent shocks, but they got up again and went on with the bat tie.
 Man, with all his faults, is crea- ture of courage. Even disasters the causes of which he cannot ia. thom do not terrify him long New York World.
