The "Changeable Rose of mongolia.

One of the achievements of the
Chinese-the one on which they
pride themselves above all others,
unless it is the art of raising oaks in
thimbles-is the "changeable rose,
a real rose in everything except that
it is white when in the shade and
blood red as soon as the sunlight
strikes it. The words ''as soon' in
the last sentence above do not liter
ally Tean instantaneously, but one
thing is sure, the Transformation is
rapid enough for the wondering eyes
that are allowed the rare pleasure of
beholding such wonderful sight.
After night, or when in dark
room, this curiosity of the rose fam
lily is a pure, waxy white blossom,
the thick, succulent petals much re-
minding one of gigantic mandrake
flowers, with the exception that even
the stamens and pistils are of the
same immaculate color.
When transferred to open air, the
transformation Immediately sets in,
the. time of the entire change of the
flower from livid whiteness to the
most sanguine of all sangWne hues
depending on the degree of sunlight
and warmth, First the petals take
on kind of washed or faded blue
color which rapidly changes to a very
faint blush of pink. The pink grad
ually deepens in hue until you find
that your lily white rose of an hour
before is asred as the reddest peony
that ever doomed. st Louis Repub-

only for an act of bravery 1.-THE next time

This WINS agreed upon. Some days later,

captain jumped over the ships side, but he
was poor swimmer, and instead Of rescu.
ing Aveling he owed his life to the latter.
The commanders report reached the
car, and tho ex-captain was restored TO his
rank. The captain is now an admiral. Tho
other day he celebrated the ilftieth ami

lotteries existed under public control, and
from that time many of the European states

In the United States tho lottery was
from the earliest settling of the country n

state lotteries were generally fairly man

and scandalous abuses to which they gave
rise aroused public opinion against tho

The solemn Chanting Of tho Matin Tn the
Dim Gray of Dawn.

Dim Gray of Dawn.
A postulant fetched me and led me
through labyrinth Of passages TO the
church. Although the building was al
most In darkness, could see that II was in
the pointed style, and that 1t was marked
by cold elegance BETTING its special pur-
pose. The nave was divided near the mid
die by gothic screen of wood artistically
carved, although the ornamental motive
had been kept In subsection. The half that
adjoined the sanctuary was somewhat
higher than the other. and here the Trap
pist fathers had their stalls--the brothers
stalls werp In the lower part.
was led to H place below the screen.
The Office had already commenced. The
monotonous plain chant by deep toned
voices had reached me In the Corridors
Perhaps IL was half an hour later when the
chanting ceased. The lamps were darkened
In the stalls above the screen-in the lower
pnrt there WAS but one very small light
suspended from the vAult-then the monks
knelt each upon the narrow piece Of wood
affixed TO their stalls for this purpose, and
for half an hour with heads bent down they
prayed In silence, while the thunder groaned
outside and the lightning flashed through
the cloister windows.
To the Trappists, who day after day, wear
after year at the same hour had been 60
ing through the same part OF their un.
changing discipline, needless whether the
stars shone overhead or the lightning gilt
tered, there was nothing in all this to draw
their minds from the circle of devotional
routine. / nloue felt as IL was going down
into my grave. The gray light that was
now making the ribs Of the wanting dimly
visible was like the dawn Of eternity break
ing through the brief night called death,
which is not perhaps so dark as it seems
At 3 O'Clock the chill and awful silence
was broken by the white robed prior, who
rose from his low posture, like dead man
in his shroud, aud began TO chant in an
other tone and measure from what had
gone before, aud which had In it the sad
ness Of the wind that | heard moaning In
the pine tops on the moor before the storm
broke. The voice was strong and clear,
but so solemn that II was almost unenrth-
~, and II seemed in some strange way to
mingle with the purity Of the cold dawn
that comes when all the passions Of the
world are still, but which makes the leaves
tremble at the crime and trouble of another
day.-Temple Bar.
