attitude o. Pres. Toward Religion.


1t Is frequently claimed that the
daily newspapers do not devote the
space they should to matters Of re-
ligion. 1t is also said that the
newspaper is essentially an echo, not
an originator; that 1t must cater to
public demands, Well, some person
has attempted to fad out the
attitude of the secular press
towards religion. One result is
rather surprising Chicago Is be-
lieved to be prominently wicked,
irreligious city. Yet more space is
devoted by her dailies to religions
news than by the press of any other
city. The Monday papers in the
Windy city give up many columns
to reporting sermons and addresses
of that character It is true that
the greater part Of these represent
the Independents and free lances.
But 1t shows that there is more OF
a religious spirit there than one
would suppose, even though it tends
toward liberalism.

PRODUCTS OF THE ROSE.

Countries Where the Odor Is Extracted
for Commercial Use.
In treatise on the rose and its odors
some interesting facts in relation to
that popular flower have been brought
TO light. Numerous costly varieties of
roses are grown in America for orna-
mental purposes, but in most other
countries the cultivation is carried on
for the sake of the manufacture of es-
sences. The art of distilling roses orig
mated in Persia about 1912, and In 1854
it is certain that the altar of roses Was
made on a large scale at Shtraz- At the
present day the odorous products of the
rose are extracted In Bulgaria, France,
Germany and, to some extent, in India,
Persia, Tunis, Algeria, Morocco and
Egypt, In Bulgaria the red damaslr
rose is the favorite, while In the south
of France the Provence rose--the cab
bage rose of England-is cultivated
commercially. But while much atten-
ton is generally given to the develop
ment of the color, form and size of the
flower, the great possibilities of the
beautiful petals in the generation Of
varieties of perfumes have been hitherto
but imperfectly understood. There are
experienced gardeners who can discrim-
mate many species of rose in the dark,
recognizing them by their perfumes,
and it is found that exquisite effects
can be produced by the crossing of va
rieties having special odorous charac-
teristics. In fact, scents are almost as
amenable to scientific combination as
the notes of the musical scale, and the
result of happy blending Of odors by
cultivation is often as distinctive and
charming as the sound of rich, 10
mantle harmony.

4 LONG SWIM.

Aftoat for Four Hours Upon tn6 At
lantic in December
When the conversation fell upon
the Elbe and Gascogne and the mar
row chance of escaping alive from a
wreck in the wintry sea, the man
from far northern British province
was moved, says the New York Sun,
TO tell the story of his piano tuner.
The piano tuner earns his bread by
travelling from point to point in the
far northern province and tuning
the few plan os owned in those parts.
Something in bis hearty manner
and strong figure led one of his
patrons to ask q few questions con-
corning his life, and piano tuner an
swered in effect thus:
~ am Manxman, and I have in
herited rugged constitution. I
seldom wear gloves, even in your
winters, and much Of the time ] go
without an overcoat- For many
years l followed the sea, and / had
one adventure that few would have
lived to tell Of. 1t was q midnight
of Decemberwhen was ordered aloft
to stow the main royal, and before l
knew what / was about fell from
the yardarm into the sea. ~.
mo one on deck had noticed nv
fall, and apparently no one had
heard my cry, for the ship kept
right on. There was, with heavy
boots and heavy coat, alone amid
the waves of the Atlantic. You
may not believe me, but I did not
feel greatly alarmed. / managed to
get out of my boots and coat, and
then / began to swim to keep myself
afloat. Somehow / felt that should
be saved. We had passed vessel
about sunset, and / thought she'd
come along and pick me up. I had
been good swimmer all my life,
and kept afioat till daybreak, when
that other vessel did come along and
fish me out, four hours after / fell
in. We got into New York three
days after my ship arrived, and
when came aboard, as she lay at
her wharf, my mates took me for a
ghost"

TVS MODERN OYSTER STEW



Stew of Before che War.
when l was boy, before the war, I"
said middle-aged man 80 New York
Sun reporter, ''the price of an oyster
stew In a good, ordinary restaurant was
twelve and one-half cents. The price
has gradually gone up, until now in a
good restaurant an ordinary stew costs
twenty-five cents In the old restau-
rant there WAS a cloth upon the table,
but this cloth, unless you happened to
find it when Just put on, was very
apt to be frescoed with coffee stains.
There were catsup and vinegar, and
50 on some of them, perhaps, In BOTTLES
IN caster. Perhaps the waiter gave
You pickle OF two The light was not
very bright. The waiter brought the
stew In an oyster plate, and as the hot
broth washed about o little In the plate
as he carried it and set It down you
were afraid It might burn his thumb.
But the oysters were good Let me
pause to remark that the oyster Is
something to be grateful for 8f
To-day the table, without cloth,
perhaps, Is of cherry or mahogany,
finely polished For cloth there Is
spread before you napkin of ample
dimensions and bright and fresh The
pickle is chopped up celery, and very
good You get two kinds of crackers,
and plenty OF them, and n generous
portion of French bread The but
ter comes In slightly little cone, The
table furniture Is all good-dishes,
glass, everything; the spread before
you Is agreeable TO the eye and the
whole scene Is brilliantly lighted with
the modern incandescent electric lights.
The stew comes in an oval dish that
rests upon plate. don't like TO eat
out of such dish so well as do out of
@ plate, but you know, at least, there's
no danger burning the walters thumb.
The oysters are good, the whole ar
rangement is away beyond the stew
of the war. It costs more, but are we
not better able TO pay for It? For gen.
eral get up and get, and dash and style
and comfort, the old stew couldn't be-
gin to compare with it. The modern
oyster stew is one of the many things
that we do an everlasting sight better
than we did"

Furious Storm Comes Up With
out Warning.
WORK FOR The LIFE SAVERS
Small Craft on the Lake Overturned and
Numerous Reports OF Other
Casualties.

Chicago, July Tone Of the most
furious wind and rain storms known
in this vicinity for years passed over
the city about 6 o'clock this evening,
coming from the northwest. The day
had been intensely hot. and there were
many people out on the lake in saik-
boats, and as the storm came on very
suddenly, it is feared that several lives
have been lost. The different life saw
ing crews have been busy all the even
ing tracing rumors of capsized boats,
people clinging to planks. etc, and up
to 10 p. m. have brought in the occu-
pants of three capsizeu boats, all in an
exhausted condition. The police at Cot
tage Grove avenue station on the south
side claim they distinctly saw a sail
boat with three occupants disappear
during the highest Of the gale and moth
ing was seen Of it again during day
light. The life savers from the south
side cruised around that locality for
some time, but found no evidence of a
wreck. 1t is probable that more miss
ing will be reported from various sub
urbs at later hour.
Up to within 20 minutes of the de-
scent of the storm upon the city the sky
had been clear and bright. Suddenly
heavy black clouds began to gather in
the northwest and a few minutes later
a terrible gale of wind. accompanied
by a perfect flood of rain and furious
thunder and lightning was sweeping
over the city.
Several houses in the outlying dis
tricts were struck by lightning and
were wrecked. Two small residences
were wholly destroyed. Luckily no one
was injured. A signal tower beside the
Panhandle tracks at Ada street was
blown over and the tower man, August
Boedlow, was fatally injured.
At IL p. m. the police and life savers
think that the fatalities will not ex-
coed half a dozen. Charles Klein, John
Ross and Charles L. Shook are believed
ave been drowned. They were
