REVENGE is SWEET.
How n Counter Gentleman and SalesIady
Rebuked Their Employer.


The cold. naughty, purse-proud mer-
chant prince who treats his ribbon
counter gentleman and gentlemen's
underwear salesladies with mere civility
or chilling indifference had better be-
ware. The time may come when their
positions may be reversed.
"See here, Jinks," said one of these
arrogant millionaires one day to Il
ninety-pound ribbon counter clerk.
"you want to attend to your business
better, young man, and not waste so
much of your time flirting with that
red-headed underwear girl across the
aisle, mind that"
Enraged and humiliated, the down
trodden ribbon counter serf VOWS and
seeks revenge. His time comes soon,
aye, that very night!
The purSe-prbud, cold-blooded mer-
chant prince goes to the theater He
buys an admission ticket and stands
up, being of an economical turn of
mind.
Let us pass. SIR" says calm. cold
voice at his side. He looks down and
beholds the ribbon-counter clerk in the
magnifcence Of full dress, with the I'M
dcrwear girl in flowing robes and six
teen-button KIDS hanging to his arm.
The eyes of the men meet. but there is
no sign Of recognition on the part of
the ribbon-counter clerk, only cold,
naughty, fixed stare as he passes proud
" on to the three-dollar seats reserved
for him and the underwear girl, while
the snubbed and Inundated merchant
prince stands on in the midst of his
own bitter reflections. Detroit Free

THE GOLDEN ROSE,
An Interesting Papal Custom of Consid,
able Antiquity.

An Interesting PapaI Custom of Consider
able Antiquity.
One of the features of the ceremonies
at the Vatican is the blessing by the
Pope of the Golden Rose" This rose
is an ornament, blessed every year on
the fourth Sunday in Lent, "Lare Sun
day." and afterwards sent by the Pope
by some Catholic ruler, male or female,
to noted churches or sanctuaries, to
great Generals. to illustrious Catholic
cities or republics, or to great bencfac-
tors to the Church. 1t is not known
under what Pope the present practice
began, but the idea seems to have orig
mated in the thirteenth century.
! Originally it took the form of single
ser of wrought gold, which was
eSlored red; then the petals were orna-
mented with rubies and gems; finally
the form took the shape of a thorny
branch, with several flowers and buds
on it, the principal one being of pure
gold, richly chased and displaying all
possible ornamentation of the gold
smith art. The practice of sending
this present seems to have been an
evolution of the old custom of the
Popes from the earliest times to send
presents to friendly potentates. Greg
DRY the Great, used to send golden
keys filled with filings from st. Peters
chains; BOniface Y. sent q shirt with
golden ornaments TO Edwin. King OF
Northumbia in 626, and a gilded silver
comb and an ivory mirror to Ethel
berga, his Queen; Urban V. sent a
Golden Rose to Joana, of Naples, in
1866.
Among other historical records of the
presentation of the Golden Rose are
the following: Henry VIII. received it
from three Popes as ga defender of
the faith" the last time from Clement
VII in 1924. Julius III. sent it to
Queen Mary in 1855. Plus ". sent it
in 1864 to the Republic of Lucca, and
Plus V. to the Latcran Basilica in 1867,
and it was sent to the Sanctuary OF
LOretto, by Gregory Kill, in 1854.
Clement TX. in 1868 bestowed it on
Maria Theresa, Queen of France, and
Innocent XI. OH Mary Casimir. Queen
of Poland, her husband. John Sobieska,
having recently defeated the Turks in
the battle of Lepanto. In 1852 Bene-
dict XIII. sent the Golden Rose to the
Cathedral at Capau. and in 1888 Greg.
DRY XVI. sent it to the Basilca of St.
Marks, Venice. Plus TX. gave it to
III. and to Isabella of Spain.
The present Pope sent it to the late
Queen Mercedes and to Mrs. Ellen f.
Sherman, wife Of General w. T. Sher-
man, the only American who ever re-
ceived the honor-DeS M0jnes Register.

BEARDED BEAUTIES.
Women With HirS"te APPENDICES Who
Were known the World over.

Bearded women have always at
tracted considerable public attention
in France, and some interest therefore
attaches to the fact that the doyenne.
or eldest member of what may be called
the galaxy of Gallo femmes barbe,"
has just departed this life in little vii
lage in the Pyrenean department of the
Ariege. She had exhibited herself ut
fairs for the space of sixty years. and
was supposed to be the woman who in
spired the celebrated cafe-concert re-
frain of Theresa, "Cest moi qui suis la
femme barber Her early successes
caused a legion of imitators to spring
up, and women with boards and
whiskers were sought for everywhere
by speculative Barnums with as much
energy as was displayed by the agents
of Frederick the Great in their hunts
for giants who were to be enrolled in
the Royal Guards, The lady from the
department of the Ariege, however,
long held her own, because she was a
genuine article, while many of her
rivals were unmitigated frauds, who
were popularity supposed to have
either false whiskers or to have cult
waited diligently their originally slender
hirsute appendage with artful UNI
guents. Therefore she amassed little
fortune, on which she lived in comfort
in her native village for the past few
gears. Nowadays Parisans, and even
provincials. have become rather tired
of bearded ''beauties'' there have been
too many of them. One of the most
remarkable femmes a barbc of recent
years was IN Alsatian called LA Belle
Catherine" who used to make capital
not only out Of her beard, but out of the
conquest of Alsace. She was won't to
say to her visitors in u Franco-Gcrman
iargon: "At5issieurs ct mesdames. chat

also n considerable giantess, and was in
the habit of calling the attention of

as contrasted with the girth and vast
ness of her body. There is curious
story told of another bearded woman
named Jacquelin Doublin, who fell in
love with an actor. She had seen him
in the Chatelet theater one night, and
from that moment she only exhibited
herself during the day. When night
came she put on male attire and re-
paired to the theater, whore she con-
tented herself with looking on and APP
plauding the man of her choice. One
night she was recognized, and the peo-
pie laughed at her, so she rushed Off to
the BARRIERS and had her beard shaved
and her face well powdered. Neverthe-
less. she was again recognized in the
theater and was heartily hooted by a
cruel crowd. In despair Jacquelin went
home and died of q broken heart. -

PROEI ABLE TREES.
Cedar and Pine Plantation for Poor ana
Sandy Soil.


Sandy Soil.
AS red cedar and yellow pine are very
valuable, the first for stakes, posts and
beams, and the latter for boards,
greater attention should be paid to
their growth, particularly on poor.
sandy soil, where they succeed better
than any other trees. Coming into
possession in 1866, of some acres of
poor white sandy land, found nothing
growing on it but few scattered red
cedars, showing reasonable thrift.
Judging from these that others could
be grown there to more profit than any
thing else except pine, l went to the
edge of a forest where young trees
were abundant, and took up cedars and
pines from twelve to eighteen inches
high and set them in this sandy soil
These trees have too long taproot to
insure their being safely transplanted
much larger than this and SO the plant
ing was confined to such small ones.
They were lifted from their place of
growth with half spadeful or so of
soil beneath their roots and put care
fully on the floor of q cart; and in set
ting them out, they were lifted in the
same careful manner and set in the
holes dug for them. These holes were
roomy enough to hold their roots st full
extent, and thus prevent all cramping.
After setting, the ground was tramped
solid around each tree. AS there
was not sufficient time to trans.
plant all required in the spring. the
work was continued during the whole
summer. All my neighbors advised
against this late transplanting; de-
clared that not II tree would live; but
l believed that taken up SO carefully,
with all the soil that was attached to
them, and set down in the same care
full manner, they would grow on as
rapidly as if left in the soil where they
came up. The result proved l was
almost entirely right. for not ten per
cent. of the trees were lost continued
this transplanting for several years, till
all the vacant ground desired was COW
cred. and the summer months were
oftener used than the spring, for my
men had more time then for the work.
One can not expect rapid growth of
any thing in poor white sandy soil.
destitute of all but slight trace of veg
etable matter, but these trees now
stand from eleven to eighteen feeAhigh.
and the trunks of some will soon be
sufficiently large for ordinary posts.
Where proving too close together in
growing up. numbers have been cut fol
grapevine stakes and bean-poles, for
which purpose they last longer than
any other timber except locust, We
have millions of acres of sandy soil.
Much of'this land is quite unproductlve.
1t could be cheaply planted with rcd
cedar and pine, which would attain
growth enough for large lumber in
forty to fifty years, which would then
render the land highly valuable. Some
hesitate to make such plantations, say
ing they might not live long enough to
cap any benefit from them. Well.
suppose they do not. their heirs will,
and there is q high qualification in
knowing that the land could not other
wise probably have been put to so
profitable use. "A. D. ALICtl, in NJ "

SlXTY-FOUR.

Years so many! Sixty-four,
All come knocking at my door.
FIRST, the tiny baby years,
Ripe with smiles and ripe with tears.
Then the buoyant, childish ones,
Rejoicing in the summer suns,
Needing not the winters cold
While wrapt in loves protecting fold.
And now the youthful maiden years,
Timid joys and trembling fears,
Hoping for a future bright,
Without the gloom of sorrows night.
Then como the years of woman's life,
Sometimes peace and sometimes strife,
Fond caressing, trials borne,
Sad nights following brightest morn.
Mothers cares and wifely love,
Blessed by God in Heaven above,
Lisping prayers and baby smiles,
Shielding ona from Satan wiles.
And last, the years OF ripe old age,
Gazing down on memory page
At deeds and thoughts of other years,
With joys all passed and dried up tears.
Thus. thus they gather all around.
Years so manv to me bound;
They are now but sixty -four
Win any more knock at my doors
