THE ROMANCE OF a ROSE.
lClncinnati Tlmea.l

A story comes fresh to ne from the coal minee
OF the Lackawsnna Valley-a simple story, but
| rich with Immense possibilities. In the "Dia-
mond" shaft there was no steadier, harder
his money was long q mystery-he had no
wife, no family, no relatives that any one knew
OF, and yet no savings bank account 1t was
learned later that ell but the little needed for
ms daily wants went for charity-fonnd its way
quietly, unobtrnsively, into the huts of women
and children whose husbands and fathers had
gone down in the crush of falling tim bers or
como forth black and crisp from that scorchiug
nre- damp. There was something about Gsr-
diner that suggested former life of higher
grade He talked but little, but that little was
In words well chosen and Of choice dialect.
His dress was as rough rs the toughest, but he
carried 1t as man who bad been used to face
the world smilipgly. They called him " Gen
tleman Jim " in the mines, bat they ali liked
him a man who always played fair aud asked
no odds. In the accident of last April when
the roof of a part of q mine fell in, Gardiner
was killed. 1t appeared in the evidence that
there were few seconds during the crack of
timbers before the roof fairly came down, and
in that brief time, in thoss few beats of The
pulse, Gentleman jim" had caught two boys
with bis lion-lke strength, and tossed them
clear ont of the fatal chamber into the safe
main-alIey. Then he went down with tn roof
When his body was recovered the next day
they found him with his right hand thrust in
side bis vest and casping tight little pocket
book. There was nothing in it save 8 card, on
which was fastened, with o drop of sealing
wax on the stem, all that remained of O roee-
bud and two geranium leaves. Underneath
was written. in woman's hand, "Marie-IoIte
q tei-June 4. 1867" Just below was written,
in q mans hand, "June, 1S70-aH tCitkered-e1.
cept the thorn" 1t is tale for o poet-we have
given the barest outlines 30 they come to MS.
But our informant adds that the face of the
man as they found him, unmarried by the crnel
rocks W hich crnshel his chest, was placid as
that OF Sleeping child.

TWO GREAT CROPS.
louisville Commercially

The United States produced last J ear q cot
ton crop worth ahont $3.50 900 0G0, and u corn
crop worth about 1888 600 600. OF a total
agricultural product of 81 600 0O0, 900 the corn
crop forms the largest item, being largely
more than double the value of the crop which
u,ed to be called the King of American CON-
merce. The King has now laid aside his pur-
highly respectable citizen, who is we'll received
every where, bat The whole of his estate is far
less than that of his plebeian eighocr, Indian
Corn, w DO enters Into the business of society
in q wonderful variety of forms. His guests
sit down to u homely bill of fare, Offering
homipy, griddle cakes, egg bread, roasting
ears, pudding, Johnny cake, popcorn. He
shows with pride his well-tilIed stock yards of
corn-fed beeves and porkers which supply the
in the world, from the sweet beafsteak to the
fragrant sugar-cured ham, fit for the table of q
king. He has immense factories employ ed
making starch and syrup, consum ming millions
of bushels. He runs great distilleries, which
send out alcohol enough to float a feet of
war vessels, furnishing material to the arts
revenue to the government rascality to the
whiskey riugs, and themes to the temperance
lecturers
The developments and applications of the
great Western crop being SO much greater til an
the Southern crop, it is not strange that the
former is the stronger of the two. The principal
use of cotton is for clothing; and while it has
an excellence for that purpose, there are many
substitutes for it, and its extinction would be
q serious but not an irrepsrable loss to COM
merce.
The ex tin ction of the corn crop would not
only take from commerce q merchandise of
more than twice the value of the other, but it
would revolutionize many departments of
trade.

There is a vast deal of worldly wisdom in
the remarks attributed to Brother Gardner in
the following dialogue reported by the Detroit
Free PreSs!
Brother Gardner was seeking job around
the Central Market yesterday, when he came
across Q young colOred friend who was rugged
out in new suit of clothes and lot of flash
jewelry. After lengthy survey of the outfit,
the old man asked:
my friend, what is your income at the
present timep
"'Bout six dollars q week" was the answer.
cam you is putin all dat glory on dollar

"Hasn't de right to war good clothes If

"No, sab, you hasn't. De proper way for
you to do is TO fro all dat brass jewelry away,
put on common clothes, an go round lookin'

PAPER FLOUR BARRELS A firm at Syracuse,
n. Y F., are now manufacturing novel flour
barrel. The barrels are composed of straw
paper pulp, which is run into mould made in
the sh ape of one half of barrel cut vertically.
The pulp is subjected to a powerful by draulic
pressure and, when reduced to the required
thickness, the ends of the halves cut off at
the ends. The pieces then placed in q
eteam drier, and the sides are trimmed evenly
and the substance thoroughly dried. 1t comes
from the drier ready, for making up into bar
rels. There are three heavy wooden hoops and
two hoops fastened together; and into grooves
cut in the slaves the paper halves, which have
an average thickness OF three sixteenth of an
inch, are slid The ends of the barrels are
made of paper of similar thickness, con-
struoted upon the same principles the sides,
and protected by heavy wooden ones. The
advantages of these barrels over wooden ones
are lightress, cheapness durability, and the
prevention of four sitting out while in transit.
They are constructed entirely by machinery,
and the halves are cut 80 true that any pieces
of the same size will readily fit together. They
will not cost more than one-third the price of
wooden barrels, are lighter, and fl SO nicely in
the grooves that there is no chance for our to
sift through, which loss is quite heavy per-
centage in the use of other kinds.

A PERFECT HOSTESS The art of en- tertain-
ing company successfully is well worth Quilt
waiting, and should engross much of the atten-
ton of our ladies. The pleasure of society de-
ponds more upon females than others. Gentle
men expect to be entertained; children are out
of the question, and, therefore, it rests upon
women what society should be. The pleasure
of an evenings entertainment, therefore, is
graduated by the capacity of the hostess to
interest her visitors in each other, aud make
them forget their own identity, or TO be lost in
the effort to make every one at ease. That is
the great secret of true epjoym mont. Some
ladies will enter drawing-rcom or . social
circle, where every person's nei2hbor appears
like an iceberg, and the atmosphere is chilly
aud constrained, and by their genial nature
and well-timed playfulness throw Sunshine
and warmth all over the room, till all COM
mingie in that easy yet dignifed cordiality
that ever characteriz9s true gentility. As q
lady aptly expressed it, the hostess is the key
note, and upon her depends the concord of
sweet sounds and their sweetest melody. Your
truly elegant woman is paturally an excellent
hostess, and contrves to surround her guests
with her own atmosphere"

Enmittsburg would form an admirable sub
jecG for local history. connected With the
origin and progress of the Catholic religion in
Maryland The old log chapel at the Elder
Station was pnt up before the Revolution. The
village dates back to 1888. TIE church in the
village was built in 1884. The Nom tain
Church in 1866. The Rev. DR.. Dubois assem-
bled the people upon the site OF the Mountain
Church, November 10, 1905. and felled the first
tree himself After the first days work was
done, a barbecue was held. The Elder House
stood for many years surrounded by the prime
val forests. 1t was the place of worship for
many years of the Catholics in that part of the
country. the Elders, Brawners, Livers. and
others of English descent. 1t was an influx of
Irish Catholics which caused the church in the
village to be built. When Mass was fret said
at the Elders station, the priest came from the
lower part of St. Mary's County. The first
priest at the village was the Rev. Matthew
