Ash "Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday is so called from the
curious custom of strewing ashes on the
head as sign of penitence. 1t was prob
ably instituted by Gregory the Great,
who was pope from 500 to GOA. Origi-
nally the ashes We're consecrated on the
altar before mass, sprinkled with holy
water and signed three times with the
cross. During this ceremony the priest re-
cited these words, 'tMemento quod cinis
es et in cinerem reverteris- (Remem-
Der that thou art dust and must return to
dust. The ashes thus consecrated were
then strewn on the heads of the officiat-
ing priests and the assembled people.
The ashes were usually obtained by
burning the palms consecrated on the
preceding Palm) Sunday.-St Louis

ROSE o HAILORAN- could not be de-
xeioped anywhere else than beneath their
own sunny skies. They have the advant-
aoe. too, of being able TO receive instruc-
ton from woman who has gained con-
siderable reputation as an astronomer
and gained it in spite of obstacles that
wculd have seemed insurmountable TO
INV less courageous spirit.
This Is Miss Rose O'Halloran, the
orfy woman member of the Astronom-
zeal Society of the Pacific, an honor
which was accorded her ON the nouina-
ton Of Professor Holden of the great
Lick observatory. Miss O'Halloran de-
Eotes her life to the scientific study OF
the stars, doing great deal Of original
work and gaining a livelihood by in
structing ambitious young women in

She has a small III inch Brashear re-
>fracting telescope TO assist her observa-
tons, and her observatory is an ordinary
room with two WINDOWS, one OF which
has northern view, and the other an
eastern exposure. When Miss O'Hallo-
ran desires TO extend her horizon she
moves her telescope out upon the roof
OF the back kitchen, where she has an
unobstructed sweep in three directions.
With no better conveniences than
these Miss O'Halloran's zeal has accom-
plished some excellent results. On every
favorable day during the past three years
she has made observations of the spots
ON the sun, and she was among the ear
hest, If not the very first, to discover
the great spot group of January and
February, 1892. AT night Miss O'HaI-
loran looks after variable stars IN the
constellation of the Scorpion, about

has already published several notable
articles IN IEss,azines and scientific Jour
mails, thereby considerably augmenting
her slender income.
Miss O'Halloran Is an Irish woman
of gentle birth and received an early ed

LABOR'S LOST LOVE-.

Most Minnesota people know some
thing of the Minnesota Iron company,
some knowing more and some knowing
less, but all knowing something 1t is
known, for instance, that It came to the
legislature some years ago, Ill its in
fancy, making very poor mouth, sand
pleading for the exemption of its lands
from taxation because it was young
and promising industry, which, in its
development. would give employment to
large numbers of men whose wages
would be sphnt in the purchase of the
products of Minnesota farms and fac
tories. 1t succeeded in getting a sub
stituted tax of one cent for each ton of
ore it should mine in lieu of taxation OIL
its properties.
Later the state decided not to sell its
mineral lands in the iron region, but to
lease them to persons who would de-
yelop the ore and pay the state royalty
of % cents a ton OIL the ore taken out.
Following this was the effort to increase
the tax on the output of the Minnesota
and other companies su bsequently
formed from one to three cents ton.
and it will be remembered how their
agents III and out of the legislature re.
sisted this. using, as one of their argu-
ments, the statement that the increase
of tax would compel reduction of the
wages they paid their men. This. or
some more potential argument, pre-
vailed and the tax was not increased.
Then came the proposition of the Will
son bill to decrease taxation, and every
body recalls the excited condition of the
minds of the iron companies. They
| howled in unison that this would ruin
| them and throw their poor miners on
| the charities of cold and heartIess
world, or, at the best, it would obise
| them to reduce the wages paid. In fact.
| so apprehenSive were they that ore
| might be untaxed they began at once
| the process of reduction of wages. Rep
resentative Baldwin came in for full
share of the Indignation they stirred up,
which found partial vent in burning the
representative in effigy.
| Recalling all this solicitude for the
| poor workingmau, the dis patch from
| Duluth the other day announcing that
Minnesota Iron company had put in a
steam ore loader al its stock piles that
took the place of 100 men. who were
thrown out of employment by it, is in
teresting-to the lab0rer. The special
tells US that the machine is easily load
ing 100 "a ton cars a day, the loading of
which required the labor of 100 men at
least. 1t IS only the same old story
The workingman is the buffer TO be put
between the company and the public,
when the latter would make the former
bear its share of the burdens of the
state, or. in other instances, when the
public would withdraw the privileges
out of which these favored people coin
wealth, but consideration for whom is
never permitted to come between tile
company and its profits 1t should set
the thinking apparatus of the working :
men going, and it should have the
effect to make these employers OF labor
drop their cant. of loving solicitude for
their men.

OUR WOOL IN ENGLAND.

While the preservative senators have
robbed rhe Wilson bill of nearly all its
chief dlstinctively Democratic features,
free raw material. by some chance of
good fortune they have allowed wool to
remain on the free list. While some
wool growers are looking witlFdismaY
OH this discrimination against them,
and our Republican friends are prepar-
ing their arguments for the congress
sional campaign for use among them,
new movements are taking place in the
wool markets which are significant of
the future of that staple.
Claude Meeker. our consul at Brad
ford, notes in letter to the DEPART
ment the arrival since Feb. of large
quantities of American wool on that
market. where Ohio wool brought from
% to % cents, according to grade. Our
wool there brings the same price as
English woods OF similar grade,~and is
preferred by manufacturers for hosiery
and is substituted for other grades more
suitable for dress goods. 1t commands
about the same price as the best Tas-
mania, which sold at lid.
The Bradford wool merchants, he
says, take the same view of the future
of wool under free trade that the free
traders of this country have long main
tanned. They are all of the opinion
that its price here will revive as soon as
it is made free of tax, and they back up
their Judgment by making large pur.
chases in Boston and Philadelphia in
anticipation of the passage of the act
and of the ris e here which they predict.
This will come from the greater use Of
our wool by our manufacturers to mix
with the finer foreign goods. in the de-
creased use of shoddy and other adulte-
rants, and the increased use of cloths
made here, while the substitution of our
woods abroad for their wool in making
hosiery yarn will absorb whatever of
suplus we may have. and. by creating a
demand for it, enhance its price.
Another feature of the situation is the
direct shipment by State Senator Hurt.
of Wyoming, the largest wool grower in
that state, of his clip to factors in Eng
land. The home price is Ga cents a
pound. and he expects to realize bet
ter price by his shipment. If he does,
the report states. all the Wyoming clip
next season will go directly to foreign
market. The senator. it is added. is a
pronounced free trader, state of mind
which one would think would be that Of
every wool grower who has seen the
steady decline of prices ever since the
government undertook to protect wool.

The most striking feature of the mis-

ton of the Armenian women, whose So
cial position seems to he even more de-
graded than that OF their Turkish sis
tiers. With the native Armenians, as
with the Turks, freshness adds much to
the price of wife. The wife of mis-
sionary is to them an object both of
wonderment and contempt. AS she
walks along the street they

fairly under way, lie received letter
from two of the girl students at Welles-

signature. One of the letters was signed
Katharine Lauderdale. TO this aad

was given. But the name haunted him.

novel he was writing. He sent Miss

She permit him to call his story
