ANTIQUITY OF THE ROSE.
Over a Thousand Species Known to
BOtanists.

The antiquity of the rose is so great
that all account of its origin has been
lost. 1t is not mentioned in the Bib
ical writings earlier than the reign of
Solomon, but the allusion to it then
made is such as to indicate that the
flower had already been known. for the
essence of roses was extensively used
in Jerusalem and Judea during the
reign of the luxurious and much-mar-
ried king. In Egypt the rose is de-
picted on number of very early mon
uments, believed to date from 1000 to
$500 =. c., and in the tomb of an
Egyptian princess, disinterred year
ago in the south of Egypt, several her
medically sealed walls were found,
which, when opened, contained gen
nine altar of roses. so that the modern
claims for the discovery of this deli
cious perfume are vain. Rose water, OF
the essence of roses. is mentioned by
Homer in the "Iliad." Homer and Sol
ONION were nearly contemporaneous.
Both the Greeks and Hebrews probably
borrowed the idea of it's manufacture
from the Egyptians, and these, for
aught anybody can tell, may have had
it from the Indians or from the Chi
nese. for the latter claim for each of
their discoveries and inventions a most
marvellous, not to say incredible. anti
guilty. The rose is one of those flowers
which by the people of every land are
taken for granted as so well known as
to need no description and hardly men
ton, for it is singular fact that every
continent on the globe, with the soli-
tary exception of Australia, produces
wild roses. Even the frozen regions
of the north. where the summer lasts
but two or three months. and is at best
a season which may be described as
very late in the fall, produce their wild
roses. and travellers through Greenland,
Kamschatka and northern Siberia
found, in the proper season. an abund
ance of blossoms, while the crews of
whaling vessels which call at Spitz-
bergen come off shore with bouquets
of the native SpitZbergen rose. All
wild roses are not of the same kind, for
there are over 1000 species of the wild
rose known to botanists, and the va
rieties are innumerable.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

DO We Need Big Musclese

By no means. Persons of herculean build
frequently possess minimum OF genuine
vigor, and exhibit less endurance than very
small people. Real vigor means the ability
to digest and sleep well, and to perform a
reasonable amount of daily physical and
is because a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters enables the enfeebled dyspeptic to
resume the allotted activity of every day life,
as well as to participate without discomfort

corporal LEARY's LEAP.


wonderful Exhibition Of Nerve.
Corporal Leary, the limberest man at
Fort Sheridan, took the chance Of break
Ing his neck and tumblfng the storming
pyramid of forty-one soldiers in a
bruised heap Saturday as he sprang up
ward from the shoulders of Private Mil
Ter, caught with three fingers Of his left
hand the top of high wooden wall be-
hind which lurked the enemy, hung for
one perilous instant and then gallantly
pulled himself to the top, seized his rifle
and sprang into the midst of the foe on
the other side of the improvised parapet
In the Coliseum gallery, says the Grand
Forks Daily Courier.
The human pyramid swayed, but held
its sturdy place while gallant infantry
men swept up the stalwart shoulders
and over the thirty-one foot wall to
Corporal Leary's support, while pla-
toon of twenty-five men kept the enemy
away in front of the wall.
1t was at this time that the regular
army officers who were watching the
fray from the Coliseum gallery, led the
applause, for Corporal Leary and his
comrades had broken the worlds escal-
aiding record by three feet. AS partial
reward fer his daring feat Corporal
Leary will be recommended by Lieut.
Percival G. Lowe, in command of the
camp, for promotion.
When Corporal Leary climbed to the
apex of the pyramid and stood on the
shoulders of the men in the top row the
tips of his fingers lacked five inches Of
reaching the top of the wall. The high
est wall that ever was escaladed before
was % feet, and the men who climbed
over that, in the military carnival
at New York. broke the worlds
record then. The wall at the Coliseum
was thirty-one feet high and it took just
four minutes to scale it.
Eighteen OF the heaviest and strongest
men in the regiment formed the base of
the pyramid, ten mounted on their
shoulders and leaned against the wall,
six stood on the shoulders of the ten,
four on the shoulders of the six, and
three on the shoulders of the four. Cor
poral Leary scrambled up this escalad-
ing pyramid of blue and stood on the
shoulders of the top three, braced
against the wall.
When he stretched out his arms, and
found his fingers would not reach the
edge of the wall he crouched, and then,
as the human mountain swayed dizzily
beneath his feet with the mighty and
yet delicate effort of the trained athlete,
he sprang bodily five inches upward at
the edge of the barrier. He tried to
grasp the top Of the parapet with both
hands, but only three fingers of his left
hand went high enough. The pyramid
under him was still swaying. He held
to the hazardous edge by three fingers
for an instant, and then with heave
and a twist, pulling his whole body up,
caught the wall with the other hand.
An instant after he was on the enemy's
side of the barricade.

The Irish Wife.

I would not give my Irish wife
For all the danes of the Saxon land
I would not give my Irish wife
For the queen of Frances hand.
For she to me is dearer
Than castles strong, or lands, or life
An outlaw-so I'm near her
To love till death my Irish wife.
o what would be this home of mine
A ruined, hermithaunted place,
But for the light that nightly shines
Upon it's walls from Kathleen's face?
What comfort in mine of gold
What pleasure in royal life,
If the heart within lay dead and cold,
If could not wed my Irish wife?
l knew the law forbade the banns-
knew my king abhorred her race
Who never bent upon their clans,
Must bow before their ladies' grace
Take all my forfeited domain,
I cannot wage with kinsmen strife
Take knightly gear and noble name,
And will keep my Irish wife.
My Irish wife has clear blue eyes,
My heaven by day, my stars Dy
might
And twinlike truth and fondness lie
Within her swelling bosom white.
My Irish wife has golden hair
Apollo's harp had once such strings
Apollo's self might pause to hear
Her bird-like carol when she sings.
would not give my Irish wife
For all the danes of the Saxon land
would not give my Irish wife
For the queen of Frances hand
For she to me is dearer
Than castles strong, or lands, or life
In death would lie near her,
And rise beside my Irish wife.
