Altar of Roses.

Tradition hath it that altar of roses was
first used by Nourjehan, Moore's Nourmanal,
otherwise Light of the Harem." Walking
one day in her garden, through which ran a
canal of rosewater, she spied upon its surface
oily particles that excited her curiosity. In
sheer idleness she collected them found them
SO deliciously fragrant that she at once cried
for more, with the result of setting up new
industry among her husbands loyal subjects.
Once the precious essence was worth its
weight in diamonds now it fetches but S.
the ounce.
Turkey supplies the most and purest of it.
That which comes from India is usually adul-
terated with oil of lemon grass. Bulgaria is
the Turks greatest rose garden. There,
upon the long, cool north hill slopes he plants
the hundred leaf rose and tends it assiduous.
ly. The plant is tickle and capricious as any
coquette. Upon one hill it will bloom and
broaden magnticently, yet wholly lack scent,
while on another not half mile it will fairly
intoxicate you with its perfume.
May is the time of harvest. Then there are
flowers by the million. They must be picked
before sunrise, as soon as they open, else they
lose more than half their sweetness.
The leaves are put into clay stills with
twice their own weight of water. What
passes over is the rosewater of commerce.
The altar floats on top in oily globules that
are hardened by exposure to the cool night,
air, then skinned off. Sixty pounds of good
leaves will yield an ounce of altar.

Ladies as Journalists.

The writer is tempted to tell a story at the
expense of lovely and gifted lady who be-
gan few years ago career as society re-
porter. Every week her copy went to the
editor beautifully written and faultless, con-
sdered as copy from the printers point Of
view. But any little suggestion she wanted
to make, she ran it along with the article in
the following fashion: Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
Smyth gave on Monday an elegant blue din
ner of IA covers. For goodness sake, spell
her name Smy--last week it went in Smi, and
she was as mac as hops about it. Mrs. In

Anecdotes Of Carlyle.

The following amusing anecdotes appear
in an able work, entitled, "Glances at Great
and Little Men" II never knew Carlyle,
says the author, Except by sight. To tell
the truth, / did not greatly covet his acquaint-
ance in those last days of his, when alone
could have known him. was even not
withouta certain dread OF this roaring apos-
tie of taciturnity. Once, however, finding
myself opposite to him in g Chelsea omnibus,
l ventured to address him. l tried the
weather--the recognized conversations
aperent-but in this case it failed OF its usual
effect. He gave no answer. but sat there
leaning on his staff in brooding silence, and
with interpretive eyes, until he reached his
ing not to know him, asked the conductor
who he was. The latter had touched his hat
to him.
"Oh, yessir, l know him well enough
e orften rides in my bus. 'E's what you
call littery gent-writes books wot nobody
can understand"
"The conductor paused, as fmentally sum-
ming up from his superior standpoint-the
footboards-poor Carlyle's characteristics,
and then added with q touch, half Of pity,
half of contempt in the voice:
"'E's bit off his chump, like many OF
those gents; but he amt bad sort if you
take him the right way
Apparently had not taken Carlyle the
right way, but the conductor did not explain
what the right way was. However, he
went on to tell me little anecdote.
Zone night, just as the omnibus was about
to start, a poor woman came up and asked
the fare to Hoxton.
"Sixpence," answered.
"Oh, please, couldn't you take me for
thruppence9 It's all I've got, and want 30
very bad to get there"
Couldn't be done" said
"Then Carlyle, who was in the omnibus,
spoke Jump in, woman" he said.
at shall cost you nothing"
"And he didn't even take her thruppence,
added the conductor with genuine admira-
ton for disinterestedness 30 far beyond his
ideal.
Still, even this may have furnished, in his
eyes, another proof that the great writer was
a little off his chump.' The phrase itself
tickled me, as did also the mental attitude
that prompted the use of it. If the educated
ridicule the ignorant, the ignorant have often
a genuine contempt for the educated.

How the Fog Affected Observations.

A new story is told about the sharpness
and briskness of the captains of the transat-
lantic steamships. On a recent voyage Of
one of the well known vessels plying between
here and Europe, one of the passengers, q
woman, pestered the captain to death with
unnecessary questions. Some heavy wealth
er set in, and owing to the fog and rain the
ships officers were unable to make their usu.
al observations. When the captain came
down to dinner on that afternoon his perse-
cutor was waiting for him.
Rough weather, captain" she said.

lady came to see me and wanted her full

When the lady came to look at the picture
she gave cry of disappointment.
"'Why, that's not at all like me, she said +;

Wouldn't Call Her "Lady.r

LOST HIS LIFE IN A VOLCANO.
Brazilian Falls Head Foremost Into
the Crater at Mount Vesuvius.

Dispatches from Naples give mea-
gre details of a. terrible accident
which occurred Thursday on Mount
Vesuvius, by which Brazilian
traveller lost his life. Another Bra
lillian was rescued with difficulty.
Mount Vesuvius, it has been re-
corded, has for some months past
been showing signs of activity at in
teryals. Within the last week or so,
however, Vesuvius has been some
what quieter, but yesterday renewed
signs of activity were noticed and
travellers were warned that it would
be advisable not to ascend to the
crater. In spite of this warning two
Brazilian travellers accompanied by
guide, determined to make the
ascent. They did so and reached
the top of the mountain In safety.
There they were noticed to be stand
ing near the crater, gazing into its
mysteries. Suddenly the whole party
was enveloped by dense cloud of
sulphurous smoke, which so stupefied
the travellers that one of them reeled
about for a moment, then staggered
forward and fell head foremost into
the crater. The guide who accom-
panied tho Brazilians had in the
meantime caught hold of the second
traveller, and half..dragged, half push>
ed him into a position where the
crater fumes could not affect him
thus saving the travellers life.
The victim of Mount Vesuvius was
DR.. Silva Jardin. He was highly
esteemed journalist of Rio Janeiro.
He fell ITO feet sheer into the glow
ing lava. He left a wife and family
in Paris.

CbicagO's Chicago Fair.

When Chicago gets through, this
country will know a good deal more
than it did before about how not to
hold a Worlds Fair. 1t IS something
like fifteen or sixteen months since
this city was given the location. In
that period the official machinery
has been put together, site has been
found, and a hole has been dug.
That is precisely the sum total OF
positive accomplishment. But in a
negative. way the results have been
far greater. Progress cannot be
measured so much by what has been
done as by what it has been decided
should not be done. Where Com
missioners and directors have spent
one day in doing they have wasted
five days in undoing. Globe
