In view of the threatening aspect of affairs in

well qualified TO judge; and there are. we be-

RosEwOoD.-It has puzzled many to decide
why the dark wood, so highly valued for pianos
be called rosewood. Its color, certainly, does
not look like that OF rose, but when the tree is
first cut the fresh wood possesses strong, rose
like fragrance; hence the name. There are
half dozen or more kinds of rosewood trees
found In South America and in the East Indies
and neighboring islands. Sometimes the trees
grow SO large that plankS four feet broad AMI
ten feet in length can be cut from them. The Sc
broad planks are principally used to make toos
for piano-fortes. When growing, 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
aoundantly, now have scarcely single sDect-
men. In Madras the government has prudeatly
had great plantations of this tree set out in Or
Ger TO keep up the supply.

WIDOWED BRIDE.-A fortnight ago the Rev.
Dr. Gottheil married Louis ROSSin and Rachel
Rosenfeld In the presence of a large gathering
OF their friends; this morning he viii read the
burial service over the groom. Mr.. Rossin was
a Canadian by birth and a member or the
tobacco-house Of RoSsin q Co. His engagement
TO Miss ROsenfeld, who is daughter of Mr.
Isaac Rosenfeld, a prominent merchant, was an
event in Jewish society last summer The we'd
ding was one OF the most brilliant of the season
On Thanksgiving Day Mr.. ROSSin and his bride
started on their wedding trip TO Philadelphia
The next Monday Mr.. RosSin was taken i'll at
the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. For
three days his wife nursed him without alarm
ing his relatives in New York, but as he grew
rapidly worse word was sent to Mr. Rossin's
family, who fastened to see him. He rallied
for short time, but On Monday had relapse
and died on the evening OF that day. On Tues
day, just two weeks from the time of his mar
rage, Mr.. RoSsin's body was brought home
reaching his house at the hour at which his
wedding had taken place. To-day, at $50,
the friends who two weeks ago congratulated
him and wished him 10y will follow his remains
