Church Service by Telephone.

Gable correspondence New York Sun.
The telephone is being made to serve the
cause Of religion in the south of England The
South ofEngiand telephone company has put
telephone wires into one of the Congregational
churches in Tunbridge Wells, and last Sunday
sixteen subscribers were connected with the
church. These included doctors and apothe-
carries, clerks working in various parts of town,
an Invalid lady who has been obtaining conso-
lation from the telephone for several months,
and some lazy club men who went into the
thing presumably more from spirit Of expert
ment than devotion. Wires are being laid to
Maidstone, and soon subscribers living there,
in Rochester, in Strood. and Chatham, will be
able, without leaving their houses, to attend
service in Tunbridge Wells

The PhonorraDh In Paris.

correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, in writing about the Paris exposition,
says: While was wandering among the ma
chinery, saw q great crowd before Edison's
exhibition. / approached and saw the famous
Photographs little box, not bigger than a
small musical box. polite gentleman offered
the ends Of two India rubber tubes to place in
my ears. / did so, and Immediately tie noise
of the engines of the great hall ceased to be
perceptible, and l heard instead q march
played by brass band as clearly as il it had
been behind my back. This march" said the
gentleman to me, WAS played four months ago
in New York" The ph0nograph is one of the
greatest successes of the exhibition. Every
body is amazed by it-those who do not uuder-
stand it. and. may add. also by those who do
understand IL. 1t is simply miraculous"

A similar want of harmony would make President Harrisons administration failure Control was entrusted to the Republican party by the people of the country in all three branches of the national government because they believed the result would be an effective, harmonious administration, willing and able to cope with the issues of the day. The Republican party will stand or fall, &C., cording as they fulfill the reasonable expecta- tions. The signs, so far as the opening months of the administration can show, are that the people will not be disappointed
 The frequency of fires in cotton cargoes lately has called much attention to the mat ter. A recent investigation by Dr. Dupre, chief of the Department of Explosives at Woolwioh, showed that it would require temperature of nearly 1000 degrees to cause fire in cotton slowed in the vicinity of boil CTS, and that cotton might be slowed on top of the boilers without fear of igniting. He, however, admitted that spontaneous combustion may take place under the follow ing conditions: Where portion of the baled cotton contains large percentage of oil; where 1t is surrounded by 8 bad con- ductor of heat, such as loose cotton; where their is moderately free access of air, and where there is moderately high tempera- ture to start the action. In 1880, when there was sort of epidemic of fires in cot ton cargoes from New Orleans, there was a thorough investigation which resulted in three convictions for incendiarism, and 8 falling off in the number of fires for few years. The general conclusions from this inquiry were that fires in cotton eargoes pros ceeded from accident, favored by the sloven- ly manner in which the cotton was pressed, covered and hoped; and from design en- couEaged by the customs and regulations which enabled interested persons to obtain an undue value for services rendered to ship and cargo in the event of fire.

THE SENATE.

The bill to enlarge the senate of this State provides that that body shall be composed of not less than thirty-fve and not moro than ffty-one members, to be elected as at present. The legislature, which meets in January, 1893, shall divide the State into senatorial districts not less than thirty-fve nor more than ffty-one; each district to elect only one senator; the district to be compos- ed of contiguous territory, and in forming them regard shall be had to the population in the several districts, that the same be as nearly square as possible under the imita- sions of this amendment. Neither the whole nor parts of one county shall be joined to the whole or part of another county to form a district; no town shall be divided unless such town shall contain more population than is requisite for one senatorial district; no county shall have less than two senatori- al districts wholly within it's limits. The districts when established, as hereinafter provided, shall continue the same until the session of the General Assembly next after the completion of the next census of the United States.
 Even if this proposed change is made 1t will take SIX years to make It, for being constitutional amendment it must be acted on favorably by two legislatures and then accepted by the people. The plan of enlarg- ing the senate is founded on the idea that if it were a large body it would more fully represent the people and be harder to inhu- ence by the promoters of ''schemers." There may be something in this idea, but the fact l. AL AL if not always, been a very intelligent and re- liable body of men. It has often saved the State from foolish and misohisvous legisla- ! ton set on foot in the "popular" branch. Nothing that has happened in the past makes any imperative need of a change, and there I is much that can be said against it. It is l usually good thing to let well enough alone.

urrection. It is not really rose, however.
 A tradition reported that it marked every spot where the holy rested during the jour- ney to Egypt.
 The Syriana regarded the rose as an em-
 blem of immortality. Chinese plant it over graves, and in the Tyrol it is seid to produce sleep. Germans call the rose of Jericho the Christmas rose, and it is supposed to divine the events of the yearjf steeped in water on Christmas eve.
 There are many other superstitiens about the rose. It is said in Persia that there is a certain charmed day in which the rose has a heart of gold. Another tradition relates that there is silver table on 8 certain Mount Calaesy, in India, and on this table lies sil- yer rose that contains two beautiful women who praise God without ceasing. In the center of the rose is the triaDgle-the resi- dence of God.
 And when the bell hath sounded,
 The rose, with all the mysteries surrounded,
 The holy hlll itself, with all thereoH, dlssoves
 away.
 One of viahnus wives is said to have sprung from 8 rose. In Germany the rose has been favorite flower. It is one of those mysterious blossoms, like the "forget- me-not," that unlocks treasures concealed in caves or castles The rose was a favorite flower of Holda, the Northern Venus, and in Christian hands became the "Merienroschen" of the Virgin. The white rose is usually Mary's emblem. Shs dries her veil on a rosebush, which bears no more flowers there. after.
 It is probable that rosebuds were the larger beads in the Catholic rosary, the German Rosenkrantz or rose wreath. It is said that If white rose blooms in autumn, an early death Is pIognosticated, while an autumn-blooming red rose signifies marriage. The red rose, it is also said, will not bloom over grave. Rose leaves are sometimes thrown on 8 fire for good luck, and 8 rose bush may be made to bloom in autumn by pruning it on St. Johns day. Here, well as In France and Italy, it is be- Eeved that rosy cheeks will come to the lass who buries drop of her blood under rose bush. In Posen young women assure the fidelity of their lovers by carrying rosebud in the breast. Rose leaves are chosen for di- vination in Thuringia the maiden having several lovers scattering leef named after each one on the water; the leaf that sinks last is the true lover.
 Charms for stopping hemorrhsge are con- nected with the rose. One of these used in Germany runs thus: "In Gods garden bloom three roses-blood- drop, blood-stop and blood-still; blood, pray you, cease to fow."
 The TOSS was potent ingredient in love philters in England and Scotland century ago.
 In the Saenundr Edda Brynhild is thrown into trance, from which Sigurd arouses her by blow from the 'sleepy thorn" in the hands of Odin. In the German tale of Dornrosohen, or the sleeping beauty, the thorn hedge that surrounds the slumbering heroine bears only roses to the true prince.

THE LEGEND OF THE ROSE.
A Wonderful Halo Of Romance
 CroRninE she Queen Of Flowers.

From All the Year Round
 There are several legends to account fox the origin of the rose. Here Is a very beau- tifu1 one: A certain Jewish maiden, Zillah, rejected the advances of lover, Hammal, 8 degraded and cruel man. In revenge he ac- cused her of offenses for which she was con- demned to be burned at the stake. When brought to the spot the flames did no harm to the maiden, but consumed the false lover. "And the Tyre began to burne about hire, she made her prayers to cure Lord and anon was the fayer quenched and cute, and brandes that were brennynge becomen white roses, and thsise were in the first roseres ! that ever any man saughe." The burning brands thus become red roses-the other ones white.
 According to Greek myth red roses were white ones tinged with the blood of Venus, who wounded her foot on thorn while has, l tening to the aid of the dying Narcissus. | According to another legend they sprang l from the bath of Aphrodite. later Chris 1 tian tradition asserted that the Grown of thorns was one of the rose torn, and that the
 red roses sprang from the blood of Christ:

Men saw the thornS on J el But angels saw the roses.


 still different origin Is given to the s'queen of fowers' by Mussulman tradition. According to 1t white roses sprung from the sweat of the prophet Mohsmmed during his journey to heaven, and yellow ones from precipitation dripping from the mane of Al Borak, his steed. It is further reported that the red flower is colored with drops of his blood and the faithful will never suffer one to lie on the ground. There is an Arab tra- dition that a certain King Shaddad planted a field of roses in the desert, which are still fiourishing, but no man can find them.
 The rose has always been an important flower in folk legends. 1t has several en- blematic meanings. It is, to begin with, a symbol of beauty:
 whatsoer of beauty
 YearnS and yet feposes
 Blush and bloom and sweet breath Took shape in rose Anciently it was the emblem of silence. Eros gave to Harpocrates, god of silence, a rose to keep the secret of Venus. On the gers that what was "sub-rosa" was not to be repeated, was anciently sculptured a rose. Red as the rose of Harpocrates. For the same reason 1t was placed over coufessionals in 1600. Doubtless its place on Greek and Roman tombs was given to it as the flower of silence. It was the symbol I of the mystic Roicruian (sub rosa crux) As | diplomacy is sweet it became national em- blem, Roman soldiers bore 1t as an lnsign1s i on their shields. Adopted as an emblem oi England, and each political faction having selected his color, the rose figured conspicu' l ousIy in English history. The wars Of the | roses lasted thirty years, with the white rose as the badge of York and the red one o1 Lancaster.
 The rose of Jericho, also called the rose oi the Virgin Mary, became the symbol Of res

Women as Drivers.

"Why is it that women never learn
to driver" said one citizen to another
as they held up the postoflice and
watched a woman drive buggy
around the corner on one wheel.
Because there never was a woman
yet who would acknowledge that she
couldn't drive. It's wonder to me
they ever get anywhere, or ever get
back again. They will take hair
breadth chances that would brighten
a man, and think nothing of them"
did you ever notice one thing"
asked one of the solons. when a
woman drives she will always let the
lap robe hang over the wheel. Now
look there-look therel"
The woman who had driven around
the corner was coming back. Only
her hands were visible at the side of
the buggy, but they reached to the
dash board, and sawed the reins in a
manner that made the horse take both
sides of the road at once. She drew
up to the curbstone with flourish.
Guess she knows you," said the
man who had last spoken.
Yes. It's my wife," said the
other sheepishly as he stepped into
the buggy and let his wife drive him
home. Free Press.
