The Very Earliest Rose.

The earliest certain trace in Greek
literature OF the rose as cultivated d
flower is to be found in Herodotus, in
his account of the rise of the House
lof Macedonia. The sons of Temenus,
he says (Bk. viii, 1887 fed into an
other part of Macedonia, and took up
their abode "near the Gardens OF
Midas. In these gardens there are
roses which grow of Themselves
that is, we suppose, without much at
tention to pruning or budding-''so
sweet that no other can vie with them
in this; and their blossoms have as
many as sixty petals apiece"
Every rose grower will at onco rec.
ognize in this the most venerable of
all rose records, the original rosa GEN.
tifedia, still, more than two thousand
years afterward, one of the sweetest
in many an old English garden-the
old Provence or Cabbage Rose. And
it is curious illustration of Herod-
otus's accuracy in unsupported details,
that Pliny describes the same rose as
found principally in much the same
district, in the neighborhood of Phil
lppi, the people of which, he says, get
it from the neighboring Mount Pan
gaeus. and greatly improve it by trans.
plantation. In the long history of
roses, the Provence or Hundred-leaved
Rose seems chiefly to have formed the
backbone of continuity. Quarterly

An AmphibiOus Craft.

The only vessel of its kind in the
world was built at Christianstad, in
Sweden, in 1890. 1t could be pro-
PEELED on land by means of its own
engines, and was intended for the
traffic on two lakes close to Boras.
which were separated by strip OF
land. Rails were laid between the
two lakes, and the steamer was to run
itself across from one lake to the
other. When tried at the works, the
vessel fulfilled the tests very well.
The engine was of ten horse pc wer,
and the boat could accommodate some
sixty passengers.
Another original craft was the
steamship Louvre, built Mt Nantes, in
France, about three years ago. She
was the first ocean vessel provided
with two central propellcrs, which
were placed underneath the middle oi
the hull, instead of at the stern. II
was claimed TINT by this means a
steamer could remain at sea during
the most terrific weather without any
danger being incurred. The Louvre
ran regularly between Paris and
Nantes, calling at Brest. Quite re-
Gently patent was granted in London
for ship, the propulsion of which
was to be insured under all circum-
stances, being fitted with both screw
propellers and paddle wheels, driven
by independent engines. while an

CUTTING TIMBER.

For strength, beauty and durability
I have found August, September and
October the best, and February, March
and April the worst months to cut wood.
A red maple cut in September will
keep in II round log perfectly white
and sound until the next August 4;
while one cut in March will begin to
blacken and decay by the middle or
last of June. This is not copied from
any scientific work, but is what I have
found to be fact by many practical
tests, says writer in an English pa
per. Gray birch cut in September
will keep in good condition until the
next September, if left in the woods
cut in four foot lengths; while if cut
in March and left in the same way it
will be nearly worthless by August l.
at least, such is the result on my land.
White pine, like red maple, keeps
white much longer if cut in Septem-
Der then If cut in March, and is not
injured by the worms SO much. 1
have found that wood dried slowly in
a low, cool place is better than dried
quickly in the hot sun, even though
cut in summer. May this not, in a
measure, account for wood being bet
ter cut in autumn, it having the cold
winter to dry in?

BOARDING-SCHoOL COMFITS.
The girls of one of our Eastern col
leges have novel method of candy
making, which deserves to be known
outside their magic circle-especially
as the results are particularly de-
licious.
They take sheet of heavy glazed
writing paper and turn up the four
edges to depth of about three-fourths
of an inch. Into this box they pour a
cupful of white sugar and very little
water, and set on the top of the stove.
One would think the paper would
burn, but it does not. The sugar
boils up charmingly and looks tempt
ing enough in its dainty receptacle.
When. it is nearly done drop or
two of favoring is added, or just be-
fore taking from the fire some nut
meats are strewn over its surface. 1t
is then taken of the stove and set to
float in its paper box in q bowl or
basin of cold water. Whom cold it
should be brittle and then the paper
can be peeled off. and dainty square
of toothsome candy is the reward.
1t is great fun to make, and will sur
prise your friends if they chance to
see it boiling in its paper box.-St.

alton 10 Cured---The Method.
From The Herald, Boston, Mass.
Like thunderboIt from n clear sky. a
stroke OF paralysis came TO Mr. Frank T.
Ware, the well known Boston auctioneer and
appraiser, at 235 Washington street. He
went to bed one night about six years ago,
seemingly In robust health. When he awoko
his left side was stiffened by the deadening
OF the nerves.
The interviewer sought out Mr.. Ware 10

ticulars In his own way:
Ihe nrst shock came very suddenly whilo
! was asleep but 1t was not lasting II its ef
iects, and In few weeks l was able to be
ABOUT. "A few months after, when exhausted
by work and drenched with ruin, went home
IN very nervous state. The result was u
second and more severe shock, after which
my left arm and leg were practically helpless.
My grandfather, who was Il soldier In the
Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in tho
struggle for American independence, died
, finally OF paralysis. My father also died OF
paralysis, although 1t was complicated with
other troubles, and 80 had some knowledge
OF the fatal character of tho disease which is
shock took warming, for. in all probability,
third would carry me off.
almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and tried all the reme-
dies that seemed likely to do any good,
electricity, massage and specialists, but to
no effect
''The only thing found that helped mo
was Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and verify be-
lieve that II 1t hadn't been for those pills
would have been dead years ago.
"Yes, l still have slight reminder of the
last attack six years ago. My left arm is not
as strong as the other and my left foot drags
little, rs the paralysis had the effect of
good distance, talk as easily us ever, and
my general health Is splendid. l AIN really

ally taken to be twenty years younger than
that.
"The Pink Pills kept my blood in good
condition and believe that is why am so
well. although cheerfulness may help.
II have thought Of it a great many times
and honestly believe that the Pink Pills
have saved my life"
MIR. Ware has every appearance of per-
fectly healthy man, and arrives at his Office
promptly ut eight O'Clock every morning,
| although he has reached an age when many
retire from active life. His experience is
well known to great many people in Bos-
ton, where his constant cheerfulness has won
him hosts Of friends. He says that in his
opinion both his father and his grandfather
could have been saved If Pink Pills had been
obtainable at that time.

Consul Tingle says that with beef
from fifteen to twenty-five cents q
pound, and other first-cla moats
upon . corresponding scale Of prices,
It is only on the rarest occasions that
tho average European workman, earn
ing seventy-five cents or 81 q day, can
furnish his family with the kind Of
meat the American workman cats. The
German workman's task is, however,
just as exacting as that of his trans
atlantic contemporary. dHe must, if
he would keep up his bodily strength,
have as much nutriment, even il it is
of coarser nature. The demand ex-
listing. therefore, the supply has been
found. It is horsehesh.
"1n Germany" the Consul reports,
"the prejudice against horse meat is
fast disappearing. The workman has
found that for seven cents pound he
can procure food excellent in every
particular, and as the knowledge
grows, the demand for horsefiesh
grows with it. But it is beginning to
be difficult to keep the supply up to
the demand.
formerly the German butcher
procured horses which were either
worn out or injured so as to be useless
for working purposes for from $5 to
$40 each. The supply of horses OF
this character has been we'll nigh ex-
hausted. however, and he must now
pay from $35 to $50 for his horses.
The consequence is, that just as people
have become attracted to horse meat
because of its exceeding cheapness in
comparison with beef, the butcher
finds he must increase prices"
Consul Tinge says that the meat is
used in Germany salted, smoked and
fresh. He suggests that shipments
from America be made "on the hoof, F."
for in that way horses are admitted at
tariff of $4.75 head, and doubt
about the purity of the meat is
avoided. He says the German butchers
pay $35 head for worn out horses,
and that fresh American horses would
be worth more. However, if but $50
a head was received for live American
horses, he says there would be profit
in the shipment, because. allowing
$4.7 rs for duty and So for transporta-
ton, it would leave $25.25 to the pro-
ducer of the animal in America. Chi

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Every farmer should keep books,
and set down oil the items of receipts
and expenses.
Sheep will eat great many plants
which cattle reject, and they Craze
close to the ground.
Young and tender weeds are delica.
cies to sheep, and they, therefore, as
sist in Kidding the fields of such pests.
Every farmer should have few
sheep in order to save much of the
material grown that would be wasted.
A small flock of mutton sheep
should be kept, if for no other pur-
pose than to supply the family with
choice meat.
Whole oats are not the best feed for
hens that are laying. They are not
concentrated enough, and wheat, which
contains much the same elements of
food as does the grain of the oat, is
much better.
For young chicks there is no better
food than ground oats sifted SO as to
take out the coarser chaff, and make
it into cake. This will be eaten
readily, and it will make the young
fowls grow thriftily, even while pro.
ducing feathers, which is always the
most critical period of their growth.
Farmers do not have that knowl
edge of their affairs that they should,
MS many OF them keep no books.
When the census is being taken they
can give but little information in re-
gard to the number OF bushels of grain
grown each year Or the value of their
live stock, hence much must be de
rived from estimates rather than from
facts presented.
There are many old pastures which
can be much improved by narrowing
with forty tooth drag that will cui

THE COLOR OF FRUIT.

Northern fruit growers know that
the color of fruit is largely dependent
on the amount of available potash
which the soil contains. This with
sunlight aids in the development Of
both color and fine flavor. A Cali
fornia orange grower, Mr.. G.. w.
Prescott, has found that iron hight
ened the color of his product and
made it more salable. His oranges
were originally very pale, but by
using five pounds of iron filings
around his trees the color has been
changed to dark yellow, with in
creased quality of fruit. So much
iron filings probably made the soil
m ore open and porous. If the iron
served as plant food small quantity
would have been sufficient. Boston

IMPROVING THE FLAVOR OF BUTTER.

IMPROVING THE FLAVOR OF BUTTER
Professor II. G. Conn, says Food
and Sanitation, has for the past two
years been experimenting in the
direction of discovering and cultivat-
ing the proper bacteria for improving
the flavor of butter, and recently ex-
periments have been made by him in
the production of creamery butter
AS result of such experiments, it is
now stated that Professor Conn has
discovered species of bacterium to
which he has applied the insignificant
name of "Bacillus No. A." and which
has given the most promising results
as an organism for the artificial ripen-
ing of cream in butter making. These
experiments, as carried on by him
were thoroughly satisfactory. and
were made in the following manner:
One-half pint of milk was sterilized,
by incessant steaming, during period
OF three or four days. Then this
bacillus No. Al, which had been cul-
tivated in the archaeological labora-
tory of Wesleyan University, was
inoculated into the milk, and for two
days was allowed to develop. The
large creamery ut Cromwell, Conn,
was then visited, and six to eight
quarts of cream were put into metal
vessel and "pasteurized. The cream
was then heated to 158 degrees Fab.
and left for ten minutes. The vessel
was removed and cooled quickly by
means of cold water, and when the
temperature had dropped to eighty
degrees bacillus No. Al was poured in
and the mixture stirred thoroughly.
The vessel was then covered and put
into the ripening room. After couple
of days the cream WAS churned, and
the buttermilk remaining was set aside
for future use. These six quarts were
ripened for the purpose of increasing
the number of bacteria, and securing
strong culture for use in the large
cream vat of the creamery. The
buttermilk was then inoculated
into the days cream supply, and this
cream allowed to ripen in regular
time, ut warm temperature, and
churned as usual. Before churning a
quantity was set aside to use for inoc-
ulation in the next days supply, and
in this manner continued indefinitely.
The effect was always uniform. The
first six quarts of cream produced
moderately good butter, but not quite
of the flavor wanted. The first large
churning was O tride better, and each
days product was an improvement. A
delicate flavor also developed, which
seemed to deteriorate after two or
three weeks. This deterioration was
renedied by fresh incubation from
the laboratory. Two vats of cream,
from, which Juue butter was made,
were taken. One quantity was inocu-
lated, and the other was not. The
butter produced by each was of high
quality, but that which had been in.
oculated with bacillus No. Al had an
aroma stronger and more pleasant
than that without. 1t was also su.
perior both in toste and odor. One
lot was sent to Mr.. Beck, in Massa-
chusetts, who makes the highest grade
of butter, and who commands o very
high price in the Boston market. Mr..
Beck used the culture and reported q
decided improvement. 1t is the pur
pose of Professor Conn to introduc.
this incubation process in all the
large creameries in the United States
within the next year.
