THE GOLDEN ROSE,
What 1t Is, Where 1t Is Made and How 1t
Is Bestowed.

What 1t Is, Where 1t Is Made and How L
Is Bestowed.
The Golden Rose, which the pope
presents as good mark at intervals
of generally one year to the best-be
haved royal princess of Europe, is often
talked about, and yet very little is
known as to what it really is. 1t has
been variouSly described as an order,
ribbon and n brc, ct, but it is virtual
ly none of these; and, as it is said that
The pope proposes to confer the Rose"
next year on Archduchess Margaret
Elizabeth, niece of the emperor Of
Austria and wife of Prince Louis AL
bert of Wurtemberg, it will be of inter
est. to many people to know what the
gift really is.
1t is made in a jewelers. shop which
has stood for more than three hundred
years in the shadow of the dome of st.
Peters. The :tem of the flower is of
massive gold and is forty inches in
height. The chalice of the flower is of
delicate mosaic, on which are chased
the name of the pontiff, the date of the
presentation and the titles of the re-
'cipient The leaves of the rose are
powdered with diamond dust to repre-
sent the morning dew, and the whole
is inclosed in magnificent white satin
case, adorned with silver rosebuds.
The total expenses which the pres
entation entails are calculated at not
less than ten thousand dollars.
The gift must be carried to its desti-
nation by two ambassadors selected
from the Roman nobility, and car
riage, garlanded with white roses,
awaits the ENJOYS at the station of ar
rival. The elder of the envoys must
bring the white case into the palace
on his head, and deposit it In the room
appointed on table covered with
a linen cloth.
After solemn mass in the chapel, the
queen or princess to be honored by the
gift takes her place under dais in the
state apartment, with bishop at her
side. After the younger envoy has
read aloud letter from the pope. his
colleague waves the rose aloft three
times and hands it to the bishop.
The queen falls upon her knees before
the prelate, he places the emblem over
her heart, the choristers intone the

AN ELECTRICAL DETECTIVE.
The Novel Manner In Which IA Murderer
Was Brought to Confession.

| The Novel Manner In Which IA Murderer
Was brought to Confession.
| Those who are accustomed to fire.
| quent the courts in which the murder
cases are tried find themselves drift
| ing into the habit of attaching great
significance to actions, gestures and
| expressions which, under ordinary cir
cumstances would escape notice. A
prominent electrical journal relates
how this habit led to the conviction of a
murderer through the aid of electric
1ty. The murder had been one of un-
wonted atrocity, and the prisoner ap-
peared absolutely Indifferent. In fact.
1t was impossible for the keenest eve
to detect any change in his counte-
nance or attitude during the examina-
tion of the witnesses, who gave the
most damaging testimony against him.
The prosecuting attorney, however.
noticed that he never once relaxed his
hold on the arms of the chair in which
ne sat, but seemed to support himself
py the pressure which he brought to
bear on them. Knowing that under
intense mental excitement, no matter
how ontwardly calm an individual NAV
be, the hands will involuntarilv con-
tract and relax according to the
intensity of the emotion and the sus-
ceptibility of the person affected, the
counsel saw here u chance of securing
evidence of great value. He thoupht
that If the arms of the chair could onIv
be made to communicate the pressure
OF the invisible contractions of the
muscles of the hands and arms of the
witness, an important light mipht ba

The NECESSARY Fnn.

Fans have long since gone beyond
the stage of strict use, and are now re-
garded as part of the finished toilet
of the we'll dressed woman. For this
particular summer the black fan holds
the highest place in the regard of fair
woman" The kinds most in favor are
those of plain black silk, mounted on
various colored sticks, or else the span
gled ones. A few years back the only
spangled fans were of silk, but we have
now the daintiest creations in gauze
and net Toone skilled in the manipu-
lation of one of these useful little arti.
cles its absence creates sort of void.
1t is so useful to fill up the pauses in
an awkward conversation, or lend an
emphasis when words fail BY all
means have black fan, and learn how
TO use it etfectively.-Chicago Tribune.

Harold and the Bird.

1t is interesting to study the simple
reasoning of children with their
strange interpretations and conneo
tions of words.
Harold was but five years old, and
could not understand how his mother
knew of all his misdemeanors. When
questioned she usually replied: "a lit
tie bird told me the tale"
One day he was left alone in the
nursery, and to the dismay.of the fam
lily he captured a pet canary and re-
moved every one of its tail feathers.
When called to account, he said:
But l didn't want birdie to tell
tales on mel!

Thoy held the heights at Bunker Hill,
And with defiant shout,
Dared King George then, and all his men,
To capture the redoubt.
But when the day of battle dawned,
And hope of peace had fed,
With martial din the troops marched In,
And fortified the shed
The gunner, at his gun, stood fast;
The swordsman smiled at fate;
The bugler, too, his loudest blew;
The guardsman held the gate
''They come! the hated red coats comel"
The general loudly cries;
''Aim lowl Don't fire until you see
The white spots in their cyesl'
And every valiant minute man
Stood firmly at his post;
No towards here, no sign of fear
In all the mighty host
But for the boasting Britishers-
Full sorry was their plight,
For OH they say, that awful dcy
They ran before the fight

This new cathartic is the most de-
lightful form OF laxative that has
ever been offered to the public. 1t is
in the form of an ordinary gum drop,
but has no medicinal taste, and can
l,e eaton like piece OF confectionery
The results, too, are pleasant. 1t is
tine most complete remedy for dyspepsia
summer troubles, biliousness, headache
and nll those maladies for which the
ordinary cathartic is prescribed. 1t
acts MS gentle sbimulant, not violent,
hut perfectly safe, and certain. In this
respect it is far superior to the ordin-
ary pill, with the additional merit of
not being disagreeable TO take. 1t is
just the thing for children on this ac-
count and for people with weak
stomachs. Those gum drops are put

THE TREE OF LIFE


In his mothers sacred eyes,
Lit from Gods own altar place,
Earth grows heaven, and gray time dies
In this Infants smiling face.
From tho shroud Of withcrcd years
Love and hope come young again,
Ard the heart awakened hears
Songs that make the life of men.
Childrcn's lightsomo laughter rings,
Dull, waste places hear their tread.
And the CLEAN Of gracious wings
Lights old chambers of the dead.
All bright shapes of memory,
All glad dreams OF youth and love,
Meet about the Christmas tree,
Underneath the Mystic Dove.
Timo and fate are babbling words,
Vain vibrations Of the tongue,
Since the song Gods singing birds
Ger the Babe of Bethlehem sung.
Child of death that was to be.
Child OF love and life with men,
Round the holy Christmas tree
Make us children, too, again.
Eyes that are loves doathless shrine
Where our holiest prayers arise,
Blest and blessing. dear, divine
Little children's happy eyes.
In your light the dark years change,
From your light all foul things flce,
And all sweet Hopes sonr and range
Round the Christ Chfldts Christmas

NEW YORK, May 16.-Florence Won AK,
VINO failed to establish her claim to be the
widow of Carl Won AK of Baltimore, is not
the widow of Jacob Halsted either, accord
ing to Judge Dugro. He has dismissed
her action to recover dover in the million
aires estate. This decision was given on
the motion Of John NJ Bowers, counsel
for the Halsted estate, who said that the
claim was the result of conspiracy, as
she had not married -Halsted He read a
deposition of Helene D'Enghien, plaintiff
maid, taken ut Portland, Or, denying that
there had been marriage. Plaintiff said
the marriage occurred on April 4, 1889, at
356 West Fifty-sixth street. The witnesses
were George Ballard, plaintiffs music
teacher, who was alleged to have read off
some marriage ceremony. He is dead.
Helene was the other alleged witness.
Helene's testimony, Mr.. Bowers said, was
the death of the action. 1t was in the
winter of 1887 that the plaintiff claimed to
be the widow of Carl Won AK, on the
strength of an alleged common law mar
riage. She did not succeed but has re-
tanned the name of on AK.
