AN exchange has discovered that
has vanished before its later reputation
as the month of brides. And it is
about right. The especial and osten-
sible object of June used to be the pro-
duction of roses; now brides are the ul-
innate product of the month and the
roses flourish for the adornment of the
brides. There is no one who approaches
them in Importance-nOt even the
babies whose mothers were brides last
June. They are as delightful to look at
and quite as unmistakable as roses. A
rose may stand up very stiff and tall,
but that does not make it hollyhock,
neither does hiding its head turn it into
a violet. No more can a bride conceal
her identity; she may take innocent
pleasure in thinking that she does, and
the world enjoys the joke, but refuses to
be deceived. Her bridehood is as patent
under a macintosh and Tam o'ShanteI
as it was through the wedding veil; and
every one she meets Immediately recog-
nizes her as a member of the great sister
hood that abounds in the land, anC
wishes her godspeed. The other half Of
bridal couple no one ever regards; the
husband of a bride is always insignifi
cant; he is merely an indispensable con
dition. So are rose stalks; the worlC
paws them little attention, but the roses
know their value and are CT nteIt

HE OWNS THE JAIL NOW.

to Private Citizen.


to a Private Citizen.
CLEVELAND, July In the United
States Court Judges Taft and Kicks
rendered decision whereby the Mahon-
ing county court house and Jail, valued
at 500, 900, becomes the property of
Charles c. Young of Whitestown, N. Y.
In 1902 John Young, an ancestor of
the pla intitt i'll the present case, decided
two lots Co the city of Youngstown, Ito
be used as public burying ground"
In 1875, when the county seat of Ma
honing county was changed from Can
field to Youngstown, these lots were
selected as a site for the court house
and Jail. Charles Z. Young then began
suit to recover the property, on the
ground that it had been perverted from
the use for which it was originally
dedicated to the city, and a decision in
his favor has been rendered here.
By this action OF the court Young be-
comes possessor not only of the land,
but all improvements upon it.

Tho Oldest Piece of Music.

The most ancient piece of music which
is still in existence is called the ''Bless-
ing of the Priests" and due to the ma.
ton which has produced the greatest
number of musical composers of the
first class that the world has known.
This song or chant was sung in the
Temple at Jerusalem, and is still to be
heard in the Jewish synagogues in Spain
and Portugal. The "Te Deum Lauda.
mus" of st. Gregory the Great dates
bacle to the sixth century.

Snnriona Indian ReIics.

Beware of Indian relics if you have a
weakness for collecting them, says one
who is posted. The supply has in
creased suspiciously of late years, and
it is asserted that the demand can al
ways be met by the willy red man and
his INSCRIPTIONS white associates, who
in some cases are the post traders at
the agencies. On the Northern Pacific,
near Bismarck, for instance, there is an
Indian store that does a 'land Office"
business with gullible tourists During
the last winter 1.-The arrow that slew
Custer was twice sold to English trav-
elers, although it is well known that
Clusters body was untouched by ar
rows. Navajo blankets from Massa-
chusetts and Indian pipes from Connec-
ticut are common articles of sale. The
tom-toms eagerly bought up as relics
are often nothing less than government
cheese-boxes covered with sheepskin.
Pipes which the Indians exhibit and sell
in their tepees for seven and eight dol
lars may be bought at the post traders
for two dollars. The Apache no longer
has any use for a spear, and there are
few genuine ones to be found, but he
still makes them out Of long poles and
boiler iron to sell to the tender-foot-
So also he now uses the Winchester in
place of a bow and arrow, but he
spends many Sunday making bows
for collections which he disposes of for
an exorbitant sum as heirlooms that
were formerly used in the chase by his
father, Plenty-Bear, or some other dis
tinruished warrior

after the Sailors Reunion. Interest
in the reunion will be heightened by
the presence of the White Squadron

THE Household.
To Renovate a Carpet.

Any carpet that has pile such as
Wilton or Brussels should always be
swept with the pile, and not against it
Sweeping against the pile makes the
carpet rough, so that it soon looks bad =,
and wears out unevenly. Bits Of dampen,
ed paper scattered about over the floor,
just before sweeping, will assist in tax
ing up the dust, and make the carpet
brighter. After carpet has become
a little dingy it may be considerably
improved By sweeping it with broom
dampened with water in which a little
ammonia has been poured. Have the
water in basin or pail, dip the broom
in it, and shake off the drops of water.
Then sweep down the carpet for three
or four yards, and dip the broom as be-
fore. If the water becomes very dirty,
as it probably will, it should be changed
two or three times during the sweep
ing.
An old carpet which has become
soiled may be cleaned and made to
look almost as good as new by washing
it with warm water and fresh beef's
gall, using a pint of gall to gallon of
water; or by scrubbing it with warm
soapsuds. In either case, the carpet
should be first we'll beaten, so that it is
free from dust, and properly laid on the
floor. Scrub with an ordinary scrub
bling brush, with and against the grain,
over a small space, and Immediately
wipe it as dry as possible with rough
cloths. Of soapsuds be used, rinse
quickly with clear water) If done
quickly, the water will not soak through.
Leave the windows open, and do not
use the room for few hours, or until
the carpet is dry.
