Starting a New Rose Jar.

The time for replenishing an old roso
jar or starting new potpourri will
quickly be here, so the following from
a New York exchange may help some
one: Put half peck Of freshly gathered
rose leaves into jar having cover.
Strew salt On the bottom Of the jar and
among the leaves, using about pint Of
salt and leaving layer upon the top.
For 10 days stir the leaves thoroughly
twice in the % hours. Now add ounces
of crushed allspice and an ounce Of bro
ken cinnamon sticks and turn the mass
over daily for a week. Then add an
ounce each Of powdered cinnamon and
cloves, 2 nutmegs coarsely powdered
half an ounce Of aniseed bruised. 8
ounces of powdered orris root, half .
pound Of Lavender flowers and some hita
Of orange and lemon peel. Essential oils
and fine cologne are frequently added
also. Shake and stir the jar twice .
week and open it only while it Is in
use. This is the stock. A few fresh rose
leaves with the salt and spice should be
added each year

PROFESSOR ANDREE STARTS FOR

In the beginning of 1895 Andree made
a contract with Lachambre of Paris for
a silk balloon rs feet high, which might
carry to an elevation of 492 feet three
explorers, their provisions and equip

was $4,000, was finished in May. last
year, and exhibited In Paris.
DR.. Ekholm and Nils Strindberg met
Professor Andree at Pike House, in
West Spitzbergen, opposite Danes is

equipment was ready there June %. The

The English MunicipaI Service.

Compared with other professions in
England, the municipal service is on the
whole fairly well paid. Salaries of town
clerks range from e300 in towns OF a
population of $4,000 to 81, $50 paid by
Manchester, which has population of
500, 600, while municipal engineers are
paid all the way up from e200 in towns
of 90, 600 to 81, 900 year paid by each
Of the municipalities Of Manchester,
Liverpool and Newcastle.
For these salaries the councils usually
demand all the time Of their servants.
A lawyer or an engineer may do better
as a private practitioner, but in the
municipal service he is sure of his posi-
tion and his pay, and it will be his own
fault if he has not so organized his Office
and trained assistants that he can hold
on to his position well on into an old
age. Advancing years may tell against
man for appointment to municipal
office, but old age is seldom made the
excuse for getting rid of a town clerk or
a municipal engineer. Most of them die
in harness, drawing full pay.
The subordinate clerkships under the
municipalities are not much better paid
than clerkships in law and mercantile
offices. The reason why these positions
are priced is that in such position
man regards himself as placed for life
and is consequently in the enjoyment OF
that feeling of settlement and that abb
sence of worry as to the future which
are so dear to middle class Englishmen.
Excellent men of their class hold these
positions. Their abilities and their re-
spectability would bring them the same
salaries elsewhere, minus only the fxity
of tenure which attaches to all grades
of the municipal service These subor-
dinates, like their superiors in the paid
municipal service, vote at all elections
like other citizens. They never attempt
to conceal how they vote, but the recur
ring elections give rise to no pleasurable
expectations or disturbing apprehensions
Of any kind ON their part. They are new
er active in the municipal campaigns
and would as soon expect TO encounter
ahighwayman in the town as a collect
or seeking contributions to campaign

to hurl his line up the slopes among the

the sound Of the Austrians moving
around to his right, where he had the
corps of Dayoust in waiting to protect

The order was given to Soult at
O'Clock in the morning. His soldiers
were compelled to climb steep hill to
reach the table land, on the hither edge
of which rose the heights, crowned with
cannon. Across the wide plains these
cannon swept the advancing lines. The
combat around the guns was fearful,

fires. After the battle Napoleon said to
Soult, Marshal, consider you the

THE DUTY ON LEAD ORE.


Washington. June 30.--After tedious
consideration of the tariff bill the 7sn-
ate wound up with half hour Of I've
ly and amusing colloquy between Sen
ators TilIman of South Carolina ana
Chandler of New Hampshire
The former had proposed an amend
ment to the tariff bill providing a $I0Q
head tax on immigrants, and restric-
tion against all those not coming to the
United States to become citizens.
Mr. Tiliman made an earnest speech
on the depressed condition Of labor. but
he was soon diverted from his theme by
MI Chandler. The latter, adopting
style OF mock gravity. directed the dis
cussion toward Mr.. Cleveaand's admin
istration.
This in turn brought from Mr.. Till
man a vehement criticism Of the late
president, while Mr.. Chandler drolly
protested against these assaults on NJ.
Cleveland by a member OF his own
party.
When the fun had been fast and fu-
rious for some time, the Tillman amend
ments were defeated-yeas. 3 nays, 4s.

When Soult's lines reached the plain at
the. top Of the heights, the Russians
dashed among the battalions Seeing
that, Napoleon gave the order to the
cavalry to charge. The brave Rapp was
at the head of the advance guard and
said to his men: Soldiers, see how
they are sabering your comrades. Let us
fly to their rescue. = Breaking from a
trot into gallop, the French horse
rolled with irresistible fury upon the
Russians, and fearful combat between
mounted warriors ragged over the plains.

for the first time that day Napoleon be-
came excited Ordering in the last re-

the Duke Constantine with many of the
Russian noble guard As the masses
were about equal in number neither
side would give way, and the combat
was reduced to hand to hand struggle
with sabers. The infantry on the right
and left of the cavalry was fiercely en-
gagged, and for time the issue hung
upon the sabers in the center. At last

sieres poured his squadrons into their
