THE COUNTRY OF ROSES. In the
Bulgarian language, Schipka means
wild rose. The village, which is at the
bottom Of the Balkan Pass, crossed by
the Russians, and which bears the same
name, consists Of about eight hundred
houses, the Inhabitants of which are Oc-
eupied in the cultivation and sale of
roses. The principal towns of the VAL
ley Of Roses, at present ravaged by war,
is kaZanlik, which the troops Of Gen
eral GOurka lately seized on. Count
yOnMOltke, in his letters on the East,
has the following remarks on the region:
"The little town of kazanlik is hidden
in a small forest Of gigantic walnut
trees. Even the minerets do not sue
ceed i'm rising above the mountains of
foliage and branches under which they
are buried. The abundance of water in
that district surpasses all conception;
just 50 in IOmbursiy, all the fields aud
gardens are irrigated Uy bitches and riv-
ulets. kaZanlik is The Kashmire OF
Europe, the Guiiatan Of Turkey, the
country Of roses. That flower is not
cultivated, as with Us, in pots and gar
dens; but in fields and in furrows, like
potatoes. Nothing can be more charm
ing tlau such a plantation of roses.
Millions Of rose leaves are spread over
the bright green Of the rose field, and
yet at this moment not one-quarter OF
the buds are opened. At kaZanlik is
made the oil oi roses which j. of such
great value, and which is difficult 10
procure Unailnyed, even at Constantine

a Detroit husband Of month did not
come home at night, aud, as this was
his first irregularity, his wife sat up
until morning waiting for him. Then,
nervous aud weak-for she ate no break
fast-she went up 10 his Office to look
for him. There she was informed that
he had been on drunken trip with a
woman. She found him at hotel, re-
covering from intoxication, aud profess
edly repentant. She forgave him, and
returned quietly TO her home, but soon
became a raving maniac, and her dis
order is thought to be iDcurable.

AN EDITOR's PALATIAL RESIDENCE.
Wilbur f. Storey, Of the Chicago Times,
is about building for himself a $780,
residence, aud is also creating a mag
niiicent park at the corner Of Forty
third street and Grand boulevard. For
a month past, the man who planted
Grand boulevard has been transpol ting
immense trees Of over sixty feet in
height from Indiana to Mr.. Storey's
land. One old red maple, two feet in
diameter, over sixty feet high, with a
bail Of earth niue feet in diameter and
three feet thick, had to be moved like a
house to a ten-tOu truck, and was
hauled by six horses.

The other evening a sprightly little
girl about seven years old entered a store
on Woodward avenue, and after cOnsid-
cradle hesitation she whisperingly in
quired of a clerk:
DO you keep nursing bottles here ?"
1--WE dO,n he answered, exhibiting
twOOr three different styles, asked which
she preferred. As she was looking them
over he remarked: "Ips for your little
brother, I suppose ?'
"Yes, sir, it is" she stiffly answered.
''YOu didn't think il was for my son,
did you ?"
Her indignant look haunts him still.

Selecting Husbands,

are perfectly hOrrid as soon as they get
married All the latent brute there is
in the heart comes out as soon as a SEN
sitive and delicate being seeks her hap
piness in his companiOnship. The hon
evmoon lasts a very short time; the re-
eeptions and the round parties are soon
over; and then the two sit down to make
home happy. If she has married So
ciety man, he will soon begin to get
bOred-he will yawn, and go to sleep on
the sofa. Then he will take his hat and
90 down to the club and see the boys,
and perhaps not come home till morn
ing. If she has married a man en-
crossed in business, he will be tagged
out when he comes home. He may be
a sickly man, whom she must nurse;
mOrOse man whom she must seek to
cheer; a drunken man whom she must
set up for; a violent man whom she
fearsi a fool, whom she soon learns to
despise; a vulgar man, for whom she
must apologize; in short, there are
thousands Of ways Of being bad hus-
bands, and very few ways Of being good
ones. And the worst of it is that the
poor, silly women are apt to admire in
single men the very traits which make
bad husbands, and look with contempt
or ridicule upon those quiet virtues
which make home happy. Men with
very little personal beauty or style often
make the wife happy-anG sometimes
quite the reverse. The number of
ways Of being a bad husband is almost
as great as the number Of ways of being
ugly. No one can tell, from the de-
meauOr Of a single man, what sort of a
husband he will be. Meantime, she
must marry somebody. Eat it. If you
die, il was a sort Of a tOadstOOl; if you
live, it was sort Of a mushroom.

THE THEORY Is ALL RIGHT.-AIiss
Clara p. Boss, in a Boston lecture upon
''Womau's Kingdom" said: mo wOm-
ans life is complete without a husband
and children. Never was a monarchy
SO absolute, never a kingdom so loyal,
as the flock of little ones over whom a
woman Teigns." The life of Miss Boss
is not yet complete. When "she comes
into her kingdom absolute monarch
Of about ten, with stockings to darn,

THE BLACK LIsT.-The New York
Sun some time since published list of
ninety-six names Of persons who were
in some way mixed up with the count
ing of the electoral votes in the States Of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
and who now hold official positions.
The aggregate of salaries paid to them
is S256, Is year. Some of these per-
sons, however, cannot possibly be sus-
pected of having performed any ser
vice with a view TO reward. Secretary
Evarts, for instance, who is included
because he was Republican counsel be-
fore the electoral com mmissiOn, would
hardly consider his $1,000 office as a
bribe, since its acceptance compelled
him to give up a law practice worth
S5O,OO0 year. Leaving out Mr.. Sew
ards name, and one or two others, the
black list is quite long enough. 1t in
cludes almost every person known as
contributing to the results as declared,
many of whom are so Insignificant that
the public never became familiar with
their names. The list, however, does
not include the notorious name of Mrs.
jerks, for which omission the thanks
of the American people are due. Her
husband gets only a trifling salary of
$1,000 year as mint clerk.
