of this condition is that Republican

Under the Rose.

This expression took its origin from
the wars between the British houses Of
York and Lancaster. The parties re-
spectively swore by the red or the white
rose, and these opposite emblems were
displayed as the signs of the two
taverns, one of which was by the side Of,
and the other opposite to, the Parlia-
ment House in Old Palace Yard, West
minister. Here the retainers and serv-
ants of the noblemen attached to the
Duke of York and Henry VI. used to
meet. Here, also, as disturbances were
frequent, measures, either of defense or
annoyance, were taken, and every trans
action was said to be done "under the
rose," by which expression the most
profound secrecy was implied. Accord
ing to others this term originated in the
fable of Cupid giving the rose to Har-
pocrates, the god of silence, as bride
to prevent him betraying the amours OF
Venus, and was hence adopted as the
emblem of silence. The rose was, for
this reason, frequently sculptured on the
ceilings of drinking and feasting rooms
as warning to the guests that what was
said in moments of conviviality should
not be repeated; from which, what was
intended to be kept secret was said &c
be held "under the rose" Roses wer.
consecrated as presents from the Pope
In 1926 they were placed over confess
ionals as the symbols of secrecy. Hence
according to some, the origin of tbs
phrase.

Too Much Music in Poetry.

One poem. ana one poem only do I
know, the effect of which in its vague
ness, in its appeal purely to the emotions
and to the Imagination, may be COM
pared with music, and that is 'kubla
khan;" but the exceptional circum-
stances under which it was written, and
the fact that there is none other like it,
at any rate In the English language,
would seem to show that here, as ever,
the exception proves the rule. Is there
any other poem of which it can be said
that the only true criticism is that of
John Duncan: ''It's very fine. but
don't know what it means?" No; as a
The poet who has given the most prae-
teal effect to the doctrine of music III
poetry is Edgar Poe. Struck with the
beautiful harmony to be obtained by the
use of repetition, and especially of that
species of it called the refrain, he DELHI
erately made this the foundation of his
poetry. And Is not this nearly this
whole of his poetical capital? There is,
indeed, sort of weird pathos in tho
Craven" but its chief beauty lis the
refrain. The "Bells," too, give me con-
siderable pleasure, but it is mere
intellectual pleasure-the pleasure which
successful imitation always gives. But
,'Ulalume" and "Annabel Lee. " are they
anything but a senseless jingle? No;
poetry is not to be made, like pudding,
like receipt. Take refrain, says
Edgar Poe, composed of the finest
sounding words to lie had, add plenty of
ALTERATION and repetition, favor with a
little sentiment, and serve as hot as
possible But it is the misfortune OF
poetry made in this way that it invart-
ably comes up cold, and people like cold
poetry about as well as they like cold
soup Edgar Poe's poetry is, in short,
solemn warning against making poetry
by rule, against starting with musical
effect and then looking about for
thoughts or emotions to match it. 1t Is
to the level of ''Ulalume" that all poetry
of this sort must at last sink. Mr..
Swinburne's poetry has happily not sunk
to this level, but it is in great danger of
it. For all poetry in which the splendor
of the versifcation is not sustained by
the underlying emotion, in which the
rhythmical effects are used so unsparing
ly, with so little concealment that they
become mere trick, is In danger of
this. Some of the most beautiful pas
sages in poetry owe much, no doubt, to
ALTERATION, but they do not altogether
depend upon it, and they never suggest
the feeling that the sense has been sac
rifced to it. But is line like this Of
! Mr.. Swinburne's-
The deep, divine, dark dayshine of the sea,
anything but mere string OF adiectives
beginning with 'd?" Would not

A Highlander and a Sheep.

A Highland drover was taking drove
of sheep from Tobermory to Glasgow In
the steamer; and, while sitting on the
windlass, he got sleepy and began to
nod. The patriarch of the flock, taking
it for a challenge drew back, butted at
him and knocked him sprawling upon
the deck; whereupon Dugald, moro
pugnacious than wise, seized the old
fellow by the wool, and threw him
overheard. But he got more than
he bargained for by this counter
movement, for the whole flock, feeling
bound in all cases to follow their leader,
popped over after him, and Dugald, be-
ing several miles from land, was obliged
to get the steamer stopped, and with
much difficulty recovered them again.
He concluded that be had had the worst

who Is not Il member OF the board. There
Is no set of men more honorable in the
performance of their contracts than
members of the board of trade of this
city"
Only few seem 10 know that board OF
trade contracts have the following clause:
This contract is subjust in all respects to
the rules and regulations of the Board of
Trade of the City of Chicago" The brok-
to which the rules were wise or otherwise,
but the point is made that they constituted
| the conditions and terms on which contracts
| for July spring wheat were made and those
conditions were not such that the sellers of
the property under the circumstances
could consistently decline to specifically
| perform contracts, but could iquidate
their obligations by selling on the basis of
the true aid legitimate value of the prop
erty on the maturity of the contracts, and
that, he said,is just what the sellers proposed
to do. Not a man of them thought to
evade his legal liability; not a man desires
to repuduite his contract, but all were will
ing to pay all legal and just damages
if any, resulting from their default He
claims that the buyers were the guilty
parties, inasmuch as they in violation of

the terms of the contract, did all they
| could to prevent the delivery OF wheat on
the contract: that they engrossed the
market for the express purpose OF putting
it beyond the ability of the sellers to OBJ
tain the wheat that the buyers might de
mand eXorbltant and fictitious damage
for its non-delivery. He also claimed thai
the other clique did not want the wheat
for which they contracted; that they
would have been ruined had all the wheat
bought been delivered them at contract
prices. Ii they had wanted wheat, why
did they not accept on contracts choice
No. red winter wheat of a greater legiti
mate value that was rendered them? II
conclusion he said if there was any bat
faith exercised in the July wheat deal. i
was on the part Of the buyers who violated
the rates of the board, and this broke tn,
terms of their contracts, and thereby CAV
the sellers the just and legal right to claim
a settlement Of the contracts on the basi
of the just and true value of the property
to be determined i'll accordance with tn
provisions Of the rules.
