The pure bred sheep In Bbetland are
-not shorn, but plucked. The f-ocess
takes place generally In June, when
the fleece Is "ripe" sud the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain.
This Is ni 11**1 "rooltig" and la much
less damaging to the young fitter than
clipping with Sheers. The wool when

n<-ss. so that any one of experience can
tell whether the material of a knitted
article has been plucked or shorn. It
ripens first upon the neck and eboul

In some sort a poodle that is clipped.

Tha Tronic Home.
White men'e homes In India, the
West Indies, west Africa and other
parts of the tropics to which dvillza
tion has penetrated are usually run on
the principle of having as much air
and as little furniture aa possible.
Carpets, rugs, cushions, hangings and
portieres are banished. Tablea and
chairs are made of light wlckerwork.
bamboo or cane. The floors are pol
lahed with cocdanut busks until they
become as slippery aa a good dancing
floor. Indeed, they are uaed for that
purpose nearly every evening in any
aettlement where there Is eociety. A
ball in the tropics requires no prepara
tlon. After dinner it is only necessary
to move the light furniture to one cor-
ner of the spacious room, send some-
body to the piano and start dancing.
The ballroom la practically "in the
open air. for wooden "Jalousies" form
most of the wall space and are opened

higher class of Romans before the be*

class of heaters was fixed and immova-
ble, besides being In Heveral other re-
spects wholly different from the mod-
ern «tore. In Oerinany and Bcandlna
Via they were nsed In bath rooms and
Hothouses during the middle age*
They weré usually constructed of
brick, atone or tile and were of I'm
meiise size. They sometimes covered
the whole side of a twenty or thirty
foot room and often extended out Into
the room us much as ten feet. In which

Well Will Not Likely be Bored on Certain Much-Exploited
Lands to the Northwest of Orange. Indications of
Oil Good and Numerous in Several Places* but
It Will Take Means to Develop Wells.
There are good reasona for the belief
that the Citizen's Oil Company wili
not sink a well on the tract of land
Just northwest of Orange which has
been exploited so much in tbe press
as having oil indications of a remark-
ably fine nature on' its surface.
The reasons for this statement are
varied.
One of the "best reasons for the
belief that the company will not drill
age Is small or where they can not
secure a, donation of at least 100
acres of land from the owners for risk-
ing their money. No conservative oil
company which has had any experi-
ence in wildcatting—(and drilling In
this or any other untried field is wild-
catting pure and simple)—will drill
a well for anything less than a 200
acre donation and an option on more
at. current market rates for real estate
In the field In which the proposed
on this land lies In the fact that they, drilling is to be done. This is only
cannot secure what they consider a
reasonab'e donation of land from the
owner of this particular tract or the
lands adjoining It.
Another reason—and a potent one—
lies in the fact that oil indications in
other portions of the county are as
good as on this particular tract and
the owners of land in these other por-
tions of the country are—as atated in
yesterday's paper—willing and anxious • tlon of land to Justify the sinking of
to have drilling begun on their prop- a well. They seem to be unable
erty and are backing their belief in ¡ to understand that the signe of
their lands by offering as much as one i oil do not give land a valuation any
half of large tracts If any one will; more than ito value as agricultural or
just to a company or individual who
is willing to risk sinking from 16000
to $8000 in a hole which may prove a
duster.
"The great trouble with your land
owners here seems to be that they
have placed an altogether fictitious
value on their holdings and are not
disposed to offer any responsible party
sufficient bonus in the way of a
OSara of Flawcra.
It is a remarkable fact that although
there are nearly or quite 100.0UG flow
erlug plants known tbe relative num-
ber having odor is wonderfully small,
not more than 10 per cent In fact. In
connection with this it is noteworthy
that because one species of (lower la
endowed with sweet o.!or It does not
nece«HMiily follow that all or nearly
all or even a fair proportion of the
other species of the aarne family will
be as favorably endowed. Au.Illustra-
tion of this Is found tn the familiar
mignonette. There are some tlfty «pe-
des of this genus known, and of them
ail, but one has any fragrance. Nor la
it certain that the most liiHtgnlflcant
looking flower has tbe greatest fra-
grance or the most gorgeously colored
likely to be without odor, thue seem-
ingly disproving the theory that color,
and fragrance are given flowers for
tbe purpose of attracting insects to
assist tn cross fertilisation.
#arla« a wife.
In Uganda a man can buy a hand-
some wife for four bulls, a box of car-
tridges and six needles, and If he has
the luck to go a-woolng when woman
happena to be a drug in tbe market he
can buy a suitable damsel for a pair
of sboee. A Kaffir girl Is worth, ac-
cording to the rank of her family, from
four to ten cows, and in Tartary no la-
ther will surrender his daughter uniese
he geta a good quantity of butter in re-
turn. and in certain parts of India no
girl can marry unless her father h*
been pacified by a prseent of rice and a
few rupees.

A third—and perhapa the strongest
—reason for the above statement lies
In the fact that an oil expert haa been
In Orange—came hei'e in fact to in-
spect the different oil signs and make
grazing land would be upon tbe open
market. Tbe setting of a price on oil
indications is like có an ting chlckeaa
before they are hatched. Too may
have a good hen which is willing to
set and a setting of eggs to supply her
a price for drilling in addition to * do- i with, but the fact remains that the hen
nation of land if he struck oil—and
haa stated in no uncertain terms that
one section of the county is about as
good aa another In which to drill and
haa strengthened his statement by ad-
vising his friends here not to drill a
well unless they receive a good dona-
tion of land and an option on more, at
present market rates.
The man to whom this statement re-
fers to Is W. S. Farlsh, who came to
Orange yesterday, on the strength of
what he had heard of oil indications
here, to look Into tbe local situation
and. If proper Inducements were held
out to him, move one of his rigs here
and sink a well He drove to several
points in different parts of the county.
made a close study of the oil signs ex-
isting and returned to Orange without
giving vent to a single expression,
favorable or otherwise, regarding his
opinion of any tract over which he had
been shown. A reporter called on Mr.
Parish at the Holand and asked him
for a statement. He waa courteously
received by the affable oil man and
after a good dinner and a couple of
choice cigars had been disposed of
between them they sought seats In the
pleasant hotel rotunda and Mr. Far-
lsh stretched himself out comfortably
and giving the reporter a quizzical
look, remarked:
"I am afraid that what I have to say
about the oil situation in your county
will throw a damper on your enthusi-
asm, young man. I guess you think I
will tell you there Is only one spot
In your county where the oil signs are
any good and that these particular
signs Indicate the existence of a vast
oil depoeit. but I can't do It. The fact
of the matter is I can not say that any
one tract of land in your county over
which your people have shown me has
any better indications on It than an-
other. Thef^are oil signs in plenty
wherever I have been, but oil signs are
not a marketable commodity. It re-
quires an expensive hole several feet
in depth to be sunk before you can
realize anything on signs and I have
drilled at least a dozen wells on land
where the indications were excellent
and struck only dusters There Is no
man living who can tell you whether
or not oil Is under any certain tract
of land simply because the surface
indications are good. Indications
don't count—you can't sell them.
"As to whether or not I will start a
rig In this county I cannot aay. • One
thing 1 will say. I would not advise
any man or company to sink a well
on any . tract where the available acre-
may leave her nest or the eggs be
bad and if either thing happens yon
get no chickens.
"On the other hand, the very start-
ing of a rig on a piece of land gives
not only that part, but all the land
within a reasonable distance of it, sai
immense speculative value and any
man wbo owns a piece of land which be
holds at even a couple of hundred dol-
lars an acre can well afford to donate
half of it to any company who will
drill on It, for the minute the rig com-
mences to turn his half increaeee to ■
value probably one hundred times ee
much as the entire tract was worth
or even would be worth without an
oil well on It
"I would not advise any of my
friends or those who contemplate put-
ting a rig at work in any untried ter-
ritory to do so for less than a deed
outright to at least 100 acres snd an
option on other surrounding lands at
a nominal figure."
Mr. James P. Roach, secretary-
treasurer of the Citizens Oil Co. waa
seen by the reporter and shown Mr. Par
Ish's statement. Mr. Roach was at first
disinclined to talk but at length eaid:
"I-could tell by the expression
on Mr. Parish's face as he drove from
place to place that he was not aa
favorably impressed with Orange coun-
ty oil Indications as have been some
bf us wbose hopes exceeded their
actual knowledge of oil Indications
and their relative value. I consider
his statement a conservative one and,
knowing the man as well as I do, I
know that he feels perfectly justified
from what he has seen In making tbe
statement which he has.
"I believe that his Ideas as to what
our company, or any other, should re-
ceive in the way of donations of land
are eminently Just and, as far as I am
personally concerned. I am in favor of
our giving up all ideaa of drilling In
the northwestern field uniese we can
get a more liberal donation, for the
company cannot afford to sink a well
without a good acreage donation.
"In my opinion It is better to accept
one of the propositions we have re-
ceived from other sections of the ooun-
ty and after driling la commenced and
the land on which we have an option
has increased in value, as it will when
drilling begins we can dispose of
enough of It to pay for the oujtlay on
the well and then. If we should fall
to strike oil. we are out nothing ex-
cept in the disappointment we would
naturally feel in falling to secure oil
where our well le sunk."

In tbe Kiiaalun post office a watchful
eye is kept ou all uewspapera and mag-

sidered objectionable is ruthlessly
"blacked out." A aiuillar surveillance is
extended to private correspondence.
Tbe taak thus undertaken is a gigantic
one, but tbe Ituaalan official system has
proved Itself equal to tbe undertaking.
lu every post office of iuijiorUiuce
there are officials constituting the
"black cablnot," whoso duty It is to
examine the letters received. According
to the ay stem followed In the Moscow
post office, nil the letters are handed
over to the "black cabinet" Then one
official sorts out all those which are ad-
dressed to suspected families, another
all those addressed in suspected baud-
writings, while a third arranges the re-
mainder in little heaps and then draws
at random several letters from%ach
heap. All the letters selected in these
various ways are then opened and ex-
