ROSE NOMENCLATURE.
The Fearful Names of Some Imported

Some day. too. we may have a nornen-
clature committee. who will meet the
French roses at the portals of our coun-
try and rechristen them with a pro
nouncable name before presenting
them. for which we all most devoutIy
thank them in advance A rose by any
other name than '.MademoiseIle Suzanne

Just as sweet and we would not miss
our train trying TO tell our neighbor
what il is called. 1t is to be hoped that
she Young lady changed her name and
that !, was shorter one. Provision
should be made in such a case for a
like change in the name of the rose
The man who called rose 'Grande
Duchesse Heritiere Marie Anne de Lux
embourg" had no consideration for the
poor gardener or florist who would have
to write it on a four-inch label with
stump of a pencil. They don't write
il. They simply say the rose is no good:
it is relegated TO obscurity and so they
have their revenge 1t is a pity that the
French raisers cannot see the absurdity
of calling roses such long names and
above all of calling them after ever

stranger.
Book dealers have their troubles as
well as other people. They probably
answer more questions than a railway
station agent or the bright young man
of information Office, says the Dallas
(Tex.) News.
A Main street dealer was not sur
prised, therefore, the other day when a
clerical-looking stranger walked into
his place of business and began to look
around.
Have you got The Woman in White
by CoIlins?" he inquired.
OF course the dealer had it, and was
only too anxious to make sale.
Have you got All Alone which is
also by Collins?" the quiet stranger
continued.
Sure the dealer had it. and by this
time he became interested.
Il forgot the author. but there is
book called In the Dark that is said to
be very fine
By that time the dealer had all the
books on his counter and was prepar-
ing to wrap them up.
Never mind" said the stranger. '.I
don't want to buy. 1 merely want to
suggest that if you have The Woman
in White All Alone and In the Dark
that you have good thing. Good day,
sir"
And the dealer is looking for his min
isterial visitor to kick him around the
block.

mAsoN FRUIT JHRs--hHRoE QUANTITIES
New Industry.

"A new mill and other apparatus for
the manufacture Of cider. vinegar, Jelly,
and apple butter, will be valuable in
dustry for Canon City. especially for
the fruit growers. There is always IA
certain amount of apples that cannot
be marketed, but the owners of the
same may now make good use of their
surplus supply.
Messrs. j +. Eichelberger and F.
Cherry have placed the machinery nee
essary TO the the manufacture of the
above mentioned products in the Can
ming Factory building, 10th Water Sts.,
and will commence active operations
tomorrow. Both gentlemen are well
qualified for the work and their plant
is equipped with modern machinery.
The cider mill and hydraulic press
will be operated by steam power and
have IA capacity of from 100 to 400
bushels of apples per hour. With this
press, gauged to Il pressure of 700
pounds TO the square inch. they will be
able To get from four and half to five

is from one and half to two gallons
more juice than can be saved by the ordi-
nary hand ress method. The press is
connected by elevator to a hopper Oh
the outside of the building, into which
the apples or other fruit can be shoveled
direct frem the wagon. You can get
your cider while you wait, not over
twenty minutes being consumed in
extracting the juice from fifty bushels
of fruit. Apple butter and jelly are
two other products that will be turned
out. the former requiring but thirty
minutes from the raw to the finished
product. This saving of time over the

How an Empress Reduced Her
Weight.

Extreme plunfpness would be a.
voided If the rocking chair were given
up. If women were less lazy they
would not grow SO stout. No woman
can reduce her flesh who lacks courage
The woman who is inclined to be stout
can gain pound quicker in a day
than the slender woman can in year.
1t is said that when the beautiful EN-
press of Austria discovered that her
waist was growing larger and that her
beautifully modelled chin was losing
its curve, she, the finest horsewoman
in the world, gave up riding and took
long walks every day and IN all sorts
of weather. To grow thin you must
exercise. Walk if you can, but better
still, work; keep mind and body busy,
Above all, renounce everything that
comes from the confectioner. Eat
moderately of UNDERGONE meat, green
vegetables, salads and those fruits that
are slightly acid. Drink but little
battle regularly, taking tepid bathes
Constant work will do more to reduce
ones flesh than anything else.-May
