be charged a small sum sufficient to cover
expenses.
There will be a school for the English

taught how to make a living Boys and
girls will be taken from the Baptist Or

ALTAR OF ROSES.
Six Billion Damasl> Buds Gathered
Every Year to Make 1t.

Six billion DamnSl< Buds Gathered
Every Year to Make 1t.
From London Public Opinion.
Since the emancipation of the Balkan
provinces the manufacture of altar of roses
has become a great industry in Bulgaria,
and has been taken up on a large scale in
Germany. We have all been accustomed to
connect the fabrication of altar of roses
with Persia and Syria, and even now India
and Constantnople furnish probably the
largest markets for it; but, although the
art of making it was discovered in Persia
the manufacture has now nearly or quite
died out, and the center of the business is
now the country about KaZanlik, on the
south slope of the Balkans, close to the
Shipka or Wild Rose pass, famous in the
history Of the Russo-Turksh war. The
rose-growing belt is situated at an average
altitude of 1000 feet above the sea- and eX-
tends to length of about seventy miles,
with an average breadth of ten miles. On
this ground are produced annually from
five billion to six billion rose blossoms.
The number of varieties cultivated is
very small Ninety per cent of all the
blossoms are taken from bushy variety
known to our gardeners mainly as the an
cestor from which the infinite variety of
hybrid perpetual roses derive a large part
of their blood. OF the remaining 10 per
cent a part are gathered from the white
musk rose which is frequently planted as
cena, while the rest are furnished by a
dark-red variety of Damascena. Other
sorts of roses have been tried, but some
yield no altar at all, and others give an
essence having the perfume of violets or
pineapples or hyacinth, rather than of
roses.

Women in This City.

From tie New York Times.
Washington is often called the colored
mans paradise, but it might still more
truthfully be called paradise for women,
especially the spare ribs of society The
government departments furnish employ
ment for thousands of women, the greater
portion of whom, of course, are not I'M
married, but through the force of circum-
stances are obliged to support themselves,
and who find themselves as much alone as
their single sisters. Society, too, offers
many attractions, and nowhere are women
so independent as here. If she wants to go
to the theater or opera, it is perfectly
without the escort of the messenger boy,
which is about the limit she has attained in
other cities. Ifsshe is invited to a dinner
or a ball, though 1t might be very pleasant
to have an escort, there is not the slightest
reason in the world why she cannot go
alone.

The transaction which attracted most at
tention was that involving the sale, or
rather exchange, of the property at the
southwest corner of Broadway and 18th
street. Mr.. Meyer Kahn, who owned it,
was rather handicapped, as he thought,
by the fact that he obtained it at bar
gain price in May, 1893. 1t cost him S315,-
coo, and he determined not to sell 1t for
less than $50O,OO0. The plot contains an
area of 1925 square feet, and cost Mr..
Kahn. therefore, at the rate of about 5000
per square foot. At $5OO,OOO the price per
square foot would be about s71. The rates
obtained for Eearby property are interest

bought the northeast corner of Broadway
and 21st streets, containing 2,O9O square
feet, for s13S, $50, or at $G62S per square
