D NcHhAND PARIsH, IA, June 1915.
Edi'TsT The Pc1coal
Genticmen.-l have beard many discus.
Sons among various poorje IN our Parish a,
10 the iairesi mode If making nominations toy
larish otIiccrs-whciLer by convention n,
primary election. I have consulted viii
n2ny parties from different wards and all
agree that the Primary Election is tie best
for the reason: there are many Radical yolcr,
who will vote fl- y certain man On ,I,e
democratic '!cb", f1r office ~ = primary eI.c-
ton (and pledge themselves to vote ror I'm,
IN the general clccriou) who would NOT vote
Tor Sny other han a the tic,ct: and If HAT
man missed the nomination by convention
fhe whole vote would he cast with the Re-
publican party. IL we have true men, s,ropr
enough To carry the lul democratic vote and
divide the Radical vote. why should we no,
give them lie anayaul.ge Of the vojrs Of the
people. The peoples choice are what we
are aite' 'or the Democratic ticke, and we
want the strongest man. Conventions are
generally ruled by Few from each ward;
Out the Primary Election viii give voice Of
lhe people. So les have an election.
Yours trVly, &c

WESTMINSTER, MD. SATURDAY, JUNE IL 1875

in the eleventh century. The benediction
was pronounced with particular solemnity
on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and the
golden rose thus concentrated was given
as mark of the Sovereign PontifF favor
to some prince or princess. Alexander
Ill, who had been received with great
honor during journey which he made in
France, sent the golden rose to Louis the
Young as sort of graceful compliment
Subsequently the giving Of the golden rose
became an authorative act, by which the
Pope officially recognized the rights of
Christian soyereigns. Thus Urban ".
gave the golden rose to Joan, Queen Of
Sicily, in 1868, thereby preferring her over
the King of Cyprus. Henry Will, of
England received golden rose both from
Julius IL, and from Leo X. Towards
the close Of the last century the golden
rose appears to have been given almost
indiscriminately to any travelling prince
who would pay sum equivalent to about
f400 in fees for it,--PdH MaR Gasetie.

LITTLE CHILDREN.-People who habit
ually put children out Of their hearts, and
close their doors upon them, have no idea
how much comfort they set aside-what
pleasure, what amusement. OF course the
little creatures meddle with things, and
leave the traces Of their fingers on the
wall, and cry and "bother'' little but
when one gets into the way Of il, as moth
crs and other loving relatives do, those
things become of minor Importance. Chill.
dren say such pretty things, and do such
funny things, the touch of their little hands
is 50 soft, the sound of their voices 50
sweet, their faces are 20 pretty, their move
ments so graceful and 50 comical, the
whole family goes baby mad--aud 1t is no
wonder. No book was ever written that
was half as interesting as little child that
is learning to talk and to think, that is
developed from tiny animal into being
with a conscience and heart.

The Ne,oark Daily says "A promin.
cnt lawyer recently gave the following
definition of the law; SIT is simply an
effort to shift the responsibility Of the
decision. The jury of laymen, befogged
by the pleadings, make up their verdict
with the understanding that if there is
anything wrong about it, the Supreme
Court, composed of lawyers, viii make il
all right. The Supreme Court settle it
according to law, with the understanding
that the laymen Of the Court of Appeals
viii adjust the equity. The Court Of Err
rors order new trial, and It comes back
to where it started, and begins again with
the jury of laymen. 1t i simply mill
that goes round and round and grinds up

"Vexillo, the new form assumed by the
game Of crOquet, is pronoupced by many
a decided improvement. The game is
made interesting by the introduction Of
flags upon the arches. Each player has a
flag to play which may be taken from him
by bis opponent. When player reaches

Of flags wins the game. "vexillo" differ

NIGHT

OH sweet aud beautiful Is Night when the silver
moon Is high.
And countless stars. like clustering gems, hang
sparkling In the sky.
While the balmy breath OF the Summer breeze comes
whispering down the glen,
Aud one fond voice alone is heard,--oh Night is
lovely them
But when that voice in feeble means of sickness and
and Of pain.
But mocEs the anxious car that strives to catch It's
sounds IN vain;
When silently We watch the bed, by the taper's
fiickerinG light,
Where all we love is fading iast--how terrible is
Night

Rosewood.

1t has puzzled many people to decide
why the dark wood SO highly valued for
furniture should be called rosewood. Its
color certainly does not look much like a
rose so We must look for some other
reason. Upon asking, We are told that
when the tree is first cut, the fresh wood
possesses very strong, rose-like fragrance
hence the name There are half a
dozen or more kinds Of rosewood trees.
The varieties are found in South America,
and in the East Indies and neighboring
islands. Sometimes the trees grow SO
large that planks four feet broad and ten
feet in length can be cut from them.
These broad planks are principally used
to make the tops of piano-fortes When
growing in the forest, the rosewood tree is
remarkable for its beauty; but such is its
value in manufactures as an ornamental
wood that some Of the forests where it
once grew abundantly now have scarcely
single specimen. In Madras the govern
ment has prudently had great plantations
Of this tree set out, in order to keep up
the supply.
