Miles of Rose Plantations.

The railroad companies in Lower Eun- gary are successfully making use of the Provence rose for hedges by the sides of the railways to protect the tracks from drifting snow. The writer, in imagina- ton, pictures the scene of a ''summer's journey gladdened by the glory of roses, shining to the right and left of swiftly gliding steam chariot. while the sur rounding atmosphere is fraught with faintiy subtle scents which superinduce a soft languor in the fortunate traveller"
 Between Tatar Bazaar and Adrianople the horseman following the post road on a sultry June day rides mile after mile through enormous rose plantations blaz- ing with scarlet and crimson. and giving out odors well nigh as overpowering as that of the altar distilled from their gor- geous blossoms. In those fields of queen flowers he may gaze to his fill on ''the Damask rose, whose rare mixture doth disclose beauties pencils cannot feign. " The uncounted millions of roses grown in Roumelia are not merely turned to ac- count by the rose farmers for sale to the preparers of that powerful essence which. iliclosed in long, slender, carefully stop pered bottles letteTed with gold, is still 50 popular throughout the east, although it has quite gone out of fashion in this country, Many tons weight of their leaves. gathered ard packed while they are freshly fallen. are converted into rose jam, one of the exquisite conserves which. under the generic name of ''dul- chatz," are so admirably confected in Turkey, Greece and Roumania, and con- stitute leading feature in the light but toothsome reflection offered to the casual visitor in every well to do Oriental house hold. -Vick's Magazine.

WIn of an Eccentric Doctor.

A curious custom was that which was observed quite recently in the parish church of St. Ives Hants. On table in the church at the chancel steps were placed six Bibles, and near them box and three dice. Six boys and six girls, solemnly watched over by the vicar, Rev. E. Tottenham, and a crowd of parishion- CTS, threw dice each three times to see which should have the six Bibles. Three went to the boys and three to the girls. The highest throw was made by the smallest girl, 37.
 This remarkable custom dates from 1878, when Dr. Robert Wylde bequeathed $2.500, of which the yearly interest was to De spent in buying six Bibles, not to cost more than seven shiIlings and six pence each, to be cast for by dice on the communion table every year by six boys and six girls of the town. A piece of ground was bought with the money, and IS now known as Bible Orchard. The legacy also provided for the payment of ten shillings each year to the vicar for preaching a sermon commenting the ex- cellency, perfection and divine authority of tho holy Scriptures. The will of the eccentric doctor was exactly observed. and for more than two hundred years dice were regularly cast upon the com munion table. Lately table erected on the chancel steps was substituted, the bishop of the diocese having considered that the communion table was not for throwing dice.-Boston Transcript.

Ga,vanizine Wooden Tyne.

A recent French invention is reported Of a process by which wooden type is galvanized as to the top of the letter only. It seems to be of a curious, rather than a specially valuable character, but by ap- pication to large type, the process does, it is claimed, result in the production of a strong type only trifle heavier than the naked wood. It is also claimed that the coating of copper which is applied to the letter has the effect of making it as strong as one of type metal, and so serv- ing to- preserve the finest lines-s diff cult thing to do with the wood. The galvanizing process is simple, for the type is placed in the ordinary galvano- plastic bath, but h is not explained just how the operation is confined to the top of the letter.-New York Mail and Ex- press

The Women of Costa Rica-

The little delays at the various wayside stations afford excellent opportunities of observing the different types of Costa Ricans; for side by side with the travelled gentleman, attired with scrupulous re- gard to the fashions of this last quarter of the Nineteenth century, stand the barefooted men of the peon class, in nearly every case more than decently garbed, but with the silken scarf about the waist and the huge machete which are the insignia of their rank in life. These groups are always picturesque, for the costume of the women alone is sufficient to add a charm to the rapid succession of pictures CT passing in afiuence of color and form before the eyes of the ob- servant traveller.
 These women. even small girls, wear full starched skirts that touch the ground, only displaying their small bare feet as the folds sway in the motion of walking. From living so much in the open air and from the amount of exer- else taken, they nearly all glory in splen- didly developed chests, which, with their rounded arms, are fully displayed by the low, much befrilled waists worn by them all, differing only in the matter of more or less adornment. Still, over their shoulders they dispose the folds of a silk or woolen scarf, or bright colored handkerchief, which usually only reveals the full throat and the graceful curve of the arm and shoulder.
 While referring to the beauty of the peon women it must be added that their pleasing appearance lasts only with the years of their first youth. Whether the exercise and the open air together pro- duce too early maturity, and in conse quence too early decay it is hard to say-the result is there all the same. Side by side with the young and hand some daughter. the picture of bloom ing health, stands the mother-a worn and wrinkled crone-the two pictures of ''She;" and looking from one to the other the heart is moved with the same compassion with which poor Holly gazed upon the awful remains of that imperial loveliness that had wrought such havoc with his middle aged affections.

He Was Ahead.

Gen. George A Sheridan, who has made hit as lecturer in defense of Christianity against the assaults of 'The Modern Pagan" is an effective, witty and eloquent political speaker. On one occasion he was sent by a committee to deliver an address in small town in Indiana on the banks of the Wabash. Sheridan was rather surprised at the elabor ate reception be met when he alighted from the train A great procession, composed of the town military company, various civil so- cieties, the mayor, aldermen, etc., took him In charge and conveyed him to the public square, where an audience of 1000 or 5000 were waiting. Sheridan's bewilderlnent changed to feelings of another nature when the mayor arose and addressed the as- semblage, saying: Fellow citizens, 1 intro duce to you Gen George A Sheridan, and he will speak He is not the Sheridan We ex- pected to hear. We looked for little Phil the hero of Winchester. The committee has played trick on us. This Sheridan Is said to be good speaker, and we will try and forget our surprise and disappointment and listen to him."

 "Mr. Mayor" he said, in his rich but sten- torian voice, "when 1 was informed that an appointment had been made for me to ad dress the people of this city accepted it with pleasure. l pictured to myself teeming city, its buildings triumph of architectural art, its streets busy bazars thronged with well dressed ladies and gentlemen. saw in fancy its libraries, seats of learning, its gal leries of sculpture and paintings. l thought of its many industries and it's commercial greatness, and withal of the refined courtesy of its mayor and representative citizens, and my thoughts were pleasurable ones. What, then, is my surprise and disappointment to find your city collection of wooden shan ties on the swampy bank of dirty river; your bazars of trade to consist of few drug stores selling quinine to your scrawny. leathern checked citizens; few rum grog- geries and two 6ishy country stores; your in- dustries blacksmith's and an undertaker's shop; your art galleries pictures cut from the last years Police Gazette, and your mayor and representative citizens quite fit to wallow in the mire of their surroundings l will try and overcome my disappointment regarding your city and the disgust with the committee who sent me to speak to pop ulation who seem happy and contented with their lot. and will now proceed to address you."-New York Tribune.

A Naturalization Measure.

Senator Blair introduced a bill de claring that hereafter no alien shall be admitted to naturalization until he shall have been a resident of the U. s. during five years immediately preced- ing his application for naturalization papers, nor until he shall prove by two reputable witnesses that during these five years he has behaved as a person of good moral character, and shall also, in presence of Judge, speak, read and write the English language with such intelligent facilityas to prove that he has the capacity to transact ordinary business in that language, and by its use to become we'll informed in the principles of the Constitution and the duties of an American citizen. No naturalized citizen, the bill provides, shall exercise the right of suffrage for one year after receiving his natu1 aliza- tion papers. Judges are forbidden to try more than twenty naturalization cases per day, and false swearing in such cases is declared to be sufficient eau e for forfeiture of the persons right to-sutfrage.
