The Profits of Rose-Farming.

In this time of agricultural depression
it is gratifying to know rose-farming is
akin to silver mine-if silver currency
be in boom" At Kezanlik, a cult
vator entered railway carriage with
two small boxes in his hands. The con-
tents represented his harvest transactions
for the year. Good goods are wrapped
up in small parcels. The boxes con-
tanned essence of roses, value for $50, 900
francs. The rose-trees require as much
care as do vines, and only produce at the
end of five to ten years. The leaf-pick-
ing lasts from twenty-five to forty days.
To obtain one-sixth Of an ounce of es-
sence thirty pounds of leaves are re-
CURED and an ounce of essence fetches

Religion, Belief Of III. .,..,.

The Aztecs believed there were three
places assigned as abodes for departed
spirits. Women who died in Childbirth
and soldiers who persisted in battle OF
captivity went to the House of the Sun,
where they enjoyed endless delight.
AT morning they hailed the luminary
with music and dancing, attended him
in his journey to the meridian, where
they met the spirits of women, and with
similar festivities accompanied him to
setting" After years of these pleasures
their spirits were transformed into clouds
or birds of beautiful plunlage and pleas
ant song, but had always power to
ascend at will to Heaven-the House Of
the Sun. The notion of aristocracy was
carried to the other world; for while
kings and mobiles animated gorgeous
birds and dazzling clouds, and foated
through the purest atmosphere, the souls
of common people were doomed to crawl
eternally in weasels, beetles and the
meaner animals.
The spirits of those who were drowned,
or struck by lightning, or who died of
wounds, dropsy and similar diseases,
with the souls of children who had been
sacrificed to Tlaloe, the god Of waters,
went to a delightful place. called Tlalo-
can, where that god resided, surrounded
by everything which could contribute to
immortal happiness. The third place Of
departed souls was Mietlan, or hell,
kingdom of total darkness, ruled by an
evil god and goddess, where their only
punishment was the gloomy blackness of
the realm, cheered by never ray from
sun or moon nor the glimmer Of star.
The ancients located this hell in the
center of the earth, and it may have
been but type of total annihilation.-

Disadvantages OF Our Handwriting.

We have right-handed writing to be
written, with centrifugal motion, in one
direction, across the page from left to
right, writing which taxes the weak
muscles of the hantis. and which takes
four or five times as long as is necessary
for the representation of word, as is
shown by stenographers, who write rs
fast as person can speak. In view of
the increase of writer's cramp due TO the
extraordinary amount Of writing to be
done by bookkeepers, book-writers,
teachers, and savants, it was suggested
that new method of writing should be
intelligently discussed and one inaugur-
ated that should be less elaborate, less
taxing upon the small and weak muscles
Of the hand; handwriting in which the
letters can he formed as in photography,
disconnected. not requiring such precise
and complicated motions to make them
legible, and which can be written from
above downward, from right to left or
left to right. as one may choose.-Detroit

How to Adar... tn. President.

The title of the president is simply
"The President" and when one addresses
him, the proper form is Mr.. President, "
and not Your Excellency." Mrs. Wash
ington always spoke of Gen. Washing
ton as the president" and to have called
him General" or Mr." would have been
in bad taste An invitation from the
president is equal to command. 1t
supersedes all other invitations, whether
accepted or not, and demands an imme-
date reply in writing to the president.
The form of address to be used is The
President: Sir And the president in
answering never uses Yours truly" or
"Your obedient servant" but simply
signs his name.-Harper's Bazaar.

silicious Pebble. with Water Inside.

NJ. Stanislas Meunier has described
some silicious pebbles which are quite
numerous in the quaternary gravels OF
the valley of the Loire, France, that are
remarkable for being hollow and enclos-
ing, together frequently with loose,
stony nucleus, liquid water. They are
about forty-fve millimetres in diameter,
and the water may be heard to strike
against the walls of the cavity when the
stones are shaken. The only way NJ.
Meunier can account for the water get
ting into the pebbles is by its seeping
through the pores, for not sign Of
crack can be seen with the eye or by the
aid of strong glass.-Boston Budget.

Lord Tenuyson has again recorded a
public protest against the epistolary perse-
cution from which he has suffered even
more than most eminent men. The peril
nacity OF these unwelcome correspondents
is the less excusable. as the laureate has
never made a secret Of his short and sum-
mary way Of treating them. All letters
from the legion of Lord Tennyson's unau-
thorized correspondents become dead let
tiers. They not only die, but are buried
out of sight and ont OF mind forever. The
poet himself does not open one Of the thou
sands Of such letters which the post an
nually discharges at his door, nor does he
ever read line Of their contents. The
documents are at once destroyed. Chicago

The wOrkingmen of this country can
be written down as free trade opponents
from one end of the land to the other.
Free trade means equality in trade con-
ditions the world over, and that means
equality in the condition Of labor. Free
trade in the United States means plsc-
ing the labor Of the United States on a
par with the pauper labor Of any and all
other countries, and the workingmen Of
America can not see it to their interests
that such should be the case. As a
theory, free trade is a daisy. but it only
grows in the field Of universal citizen
ship. So long as nations exist with
diverse interests, so long will self pro-
lection be the first duty of nations, as OF
individuals. Self protection in any
trading nation means the protection of
trade, and this is just the reverse Of free
trade.

that the knights of Labor will not at
