The Rose.

Sappho vowed in rythm that the
rose was queen of all flowers, and
Anacreon, Bion, Theocritus, Apollo
dorus, and every other poet since their
time has joined in the chorus of praise.
Often the tales OF the rose gave it a
certain magical value, as where
Lucius, in the Metamorphoses of
Apuleius, is restored to human form
by eating wreath of roses, says Mar
vim Dana in May LippincOh.
The poetical insistence Of the rose
rs symbol of silence had its origin in
a quasi-religious employment. After
the original dedication of the rose to
Aphrodite, Cupid delivered it over to
Harpocrates, the god of silence, in the
hope that by this means the amours
of the goddess of love might be kept
secret.
Religion and poetry have united to
make the Persian stories the most ex.
quisite of all that owe their origin to
the rose. The Persians have a feast
of roses, beginning when the buds first
open and continuing throughout the
season. The Bulbul Nameh lauds one
rose as Gods own flower, and adds
that he has set the nightingale to
keep ward over it. Whensoever rose
is plucked, the bird gives forth a cry
the sweetest and the saddest cry that
mounts to heaven. In the spring
time the nightingale hovers over the
fragrant petals until it swoons in &
perfumed ecstacy. Nor is the flower
less faithful than than the bird, for il
does not bloom until the nightingale
sings to the bud. Then at the mar
velous strains the flower unfolds it,
glories to the waiting air.

The Art of Washing Flannels

COlu from Lne sudden changes.
The Art of Washing FlannelS.
Our friends may not agree with me
in CHASING laundry work among the
arts, but those who have sent fine
clothing to careless washerwoman,
and had their flannels shrunken and
daintily colored fabrics faded, must
admit that the knowledge OF the pro.
per methods of doing such work is
very desirable. The writer has found
it an excellent plan to have it done at
home, and to superintend it if it is i'm
possible to do it herself. We do not
wash on Monday for various reasons.
There is usually an empty larder on
that day which must be replenished,
the Sunday clothes must be brushed
and hung in their places, and other
little tasks fill the time completely.
The soiled clothing is sorted and
mended Monday afternoon, and every
thing got in readiness to begin early
the next day.
A boiler of soft water is heated until
it is as warm as you can bear your
hand in comfortably. Into this is
poured a little soap jelly, made by
shaving ivory soap in a saucepan Of
water and boiling q few minutes. A
stir of the hand makes q fine lather
when enough of the melted soap is
used. In this suds place the white
or light-colored flannels, taking care
that all the garments are covered with
the water. Place the washtub on the
top of the tub and cover with a blanket
or quilt, folded so there are at least
four thicknesses. Let them soak half
an hour, then wash with as little
rubbing as possible. Rinse in soft
water of the same temperature as that
in which they were washed, and hang
in a shaded spot, where breeze will
blow through them. They will not
shrink when washed by this method,
and will be beautifully soft and clean.
This plan answers equally we'll for
wooden garments, shawls, blankets,
ETC., and the work is easy. When all
the dirt is not removed in the first
water wash in another prepared the
same way. Try it, We housewives, who
are tired of having your fannels fulled
up and ruined by washing in the ordi.

TORPEDO boats at best arc but frail
structures in which everything is
sacrificed to speed. Even a voyage
across the Atlantic is perilous, and
they are of no use whatever unless
accompanied by coal supply. The
protection against torpedo boats is
provided by number of rapid-fire
guns, and when we consider that one
shot would be likely to destroy the
motive power of one of these little
crafts We can understand what a

ters of Gen. Grant and Gen. Meade.
In 1881 Mr.. Doren became president of
the American Gable Construction Com

PROCTOR OFF FOR HAVANA.
Senator Says His Visit Has No Po-
iticaI Significance.

Kew West. Fla, Feb. Ex-senator Proc
tor will leave tonight on the steamer Oil
vette for Havana. He says he goes to Ha-
vana merely on pleasure trip and for his
health.
Senator Proctor is among the Mascotte's
Messengers. Before sailing he was shown
a dispatch published here saying there is
considerable excitement in Havana over
his expected visit. He read it, laughed,
and said: Absurd
In reply to a request for detailed state
ment regarding his visit, Senator Proctor
said: tits all simple and straight as day.
I've been to Havana several times before,
and have many friends there. I've been
fishing several days in Florida with Col.
Parker, a business man of Washington,
and a friend of mine, and we have decided
to go over to Havana.
The correspondent CT the Associated
Press suggested that some of the people
might think Havana strange place to go
for fish just now
Senator Proctor replied: TO tell the
truth. we are just going over there to see
what's going on, TO be where the excite
ment is Does not everybody want to go
there? Don't you? There is not bit of
political significance about It, l may stay
in Havana a day or a week. l have not
the remotest idea how long"
Commander Clifford H. West, chief of
Admiral Sfcard's staff, also sailed on the

visit to Havana, he replied: 81 cannot say
anything for publication.

tbem until Col. Cook informed him that
aysrvtbing was on the field for inspection.
Con Merritt invited the gentlemen pres
ont 10 make the inspecting tour with him.
The invitation was accepted and a rapid
march was made across the field.
Cen. Merritt was followed by Col. Cook
Mai Taylor, Capt. Brown, Lieut.. Adjt
Clarified and Lieut.. Nomoyle. Following
these were Capt. English, Mayor Collier
and the officers from the Fifth Regiment
Georsia Volunteers.
Gen Merritt went to the head of the
column. He was saluted by the bugler
ocd the band played Hail to the Chief
He commenced his march down the long
line of seven companies, while the band
continued to play. After a march around
the regiment, Gen. Merritt had it march
before him in review. The handsome body
Of troops has never shown to better ad-
vantage and Gen. Merritt was very much
ro,-od with the anDearapce
As the colors passed all heads were un-
covered in respect to them.
Col Cook asked Gen. Merritt if he
would like to see the physical drill and
upon a response in the affirmative the
drfl was given. The drill is considered
one of the prettiest parts of the tactics
of the army and the sun shining on the
bright arms of the soldiers made them
gasten until the effect was dazzling.
Gen Merritt made a close inspection of
the quarters Of the soldiers hospital and
the medical department, the mess hall
and kitchen and commissary and quar-
t-rmaster departments, and often repeat

clean condition. Every room was kept as
neat as a pin.

and pleasure at the order and the method
thai was practiced in every department.
The quartermasters department is not

improvements were badly needed
The guard house had a number of pris-
oners in it. and these, with the building,
Were also inspected.
After the inspection was finished guard

a very pretty part of the tactics, and the
execution of it to-day was excellent in ev-
cry respect.
The more Gen. Merritt saw of the post
the better he liked it. He luuched with
Col Cook, where he met number of the
officers Of the post, and it was an enjoya-
bic social occasion.
In the afternoon accompanied by Col.
Cook and several members of his staff,
with Capt. Brown and Lieut.. Strothers,
ade-de-camp to Gen. Merritt, he came
into the city and made preparations 10
leave for his next pest in his territory,
which is Fort Barraucas, near Pensacola,
Fla. He left this afternoon.
This IS Gen. Merritt's first trip into
Georgia, South Carolina or Alabama.
