THE ADMIRAL DEWEY ROSE.
New Flower Which is Sure to Be Popular-Beautiful Liberty Rose.

PCpular-Beautiful Liberty Rose.
 Of the many things named for Ad-
 miral Dewey since the victory at Ma
 nila it is probable that nOne is more worthy of the distinction than the new rose which has lately appeared. It is
 of a light tea shade and Is very fra grant Its principal characteristic. and the one which has enhanced it's value in the eyes of florists, is it's lasting quality An Admiral Dewey rose will retain it's freshness for as long as ten days. The rose has been in ;he mar ket for little over three months. but the supply is yet very scarce. It is grown by a florist at Bayside, L. l., who, it is said, paid $15,000 for the original plant. The rose in some re- spects closely resembles the bridesmaid rose, although of Q much richer color
 Another new rose on the market iS tho Liberty. It is an importation from England, $35, 900 being paid for six plants by florist who saw a chance for speculation. Although no Liberty roses will be sold until next year, those already exhibited have won the admira- tion of florists, many oi whom are of the opinion that it is the finest rose on the American market. It's claim for Such ulSunctlon IS III US color, WHICH is genuine ruby red, every rose being almost an exact match in color of the finest gem. No other rose approaches it in this respect, it is said In size the Liberty rose compares with the Brides maid and has heavy, thick stem. One of the largest florists on Broadway re- gently exhibited Q few Liberty roses in his window, in another part of which were some of the famous Lawson pinkS The exhibition drew an enormous crowd, but the rosessapparently came in for g greater share of admiration. l. will be some time, it is said, before many can be purchased as only 800 roses will be prcpoSated next season.

U. PATTON AND ORGANIZATION.

"Agitate! agitate! agitate! ," was the advice given by the marquis of Angelsea, when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to the Irish people that they might make their wrongs known to the world. Parnell changed this counsel to Organize! organize organize! Both agitation and organization are necessary to bring anything into effective publication. Parnell was right to insist on organization as the first essential. But when once a merchant has organized his store system and methods he should then begin that ceaseless agita- ton known to the modern world as advertising. - Philadelphia Record.

In a book on the Spanish war by Stephen Bonsan and George Kennan the following paragraph appears: For our own part, we believe that General Shafter was net only a poor selection for the post to which he was appoint ed, but one of the poorest that possibly could have been made, and this opin- ion we share with the vast majority of our fellow citizens" The conceit of some ofthese war correspondents, who were among the greatest obstacles Shafter had in his campaign before Santiago. is amazing. Shafter was sent to Cuba to perform a specific and difficult work. He did it promptly, thoroughly and skillfully. Somebody else might have done it a day sooner, but nobody could have done it better unless he performed a miracle or hyp- notfzed the Spanish commander Is the statement of these war correspon- dents, who appear to have taken a careful census of "our fellow citizens, ? explainab1e by the fact that Shafter preferred mapping out his own cam paign to accepting pointers from re- porters on how to do it?

Lawyers appear to think it a grave question whether in dealing with old hotels that are fire traps the authori- ties can go any further than to compel the erection of fire escapes and the providing of adequate extinguishing apparatus.

Trees In New Zealand.

The kauri is the monarch of the New
Zealand forest, an indigenous pine,
growing TO enormous height, frequently
so feet, before it sends out a bough,
while its average diameter is from eight
to nine feet. 1t is said to be 500 years
in reaching maturity. There is no IN
derbrush in kauri forest, the prince of
trees permitting no rival within his do
main. The tOtara is another species of
pine, which, however, has none of the
characteristics Of the coniferae of other
countries, either in habit or in appear
ance.
The most singular of all is the rata,
a peculiar tree with somewhat the ma.
ture Of parasite. If it springs up near
a rimr pine, it winds about it like a
huge vine, its Tightening coils gradual
ly crushing the life out of the unfortu-
nate pine. When ii reaches the top, it
sends out branches and stands hollow
shell. its coils knit closely together by
a dense network Of fibers, which appear
in the last stage Of its growth. II has a
like affinity for its own species, and

earlier growth will absorb and DESTROY

Available Testimony.

The following story was told by Ma
Jor Mensis Of a Vincennes lawyer who
appeared for the defendant in trial by
jury and put on the witness stand boy
from whose testimony he expected to
gain great deal To the confusion OF
the attorney, the story told by the boy
was greatly to the detriment of the de-
PENDANT, and the attorney set to work to
show that the boy was worthless.
"What is your occupations" he asked

witness replied.

was the attorneys decisive question.
II don't know whether am or not,
retorted the witness warmly
Then the attorney took another tack.
Your fathers a worthless man, isn't
he?"
"Well, he works about the farm. .
The attorney here fastened an eve
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with a glance
from the other and said, "Isn't it true
that your father doesn t do enough work
to prevent his being called worthless?'
The boy had chafed under these I'M
pleasant questions, and, summoning his
courage, he said loudly: IF you want

Illuminated tsHoxa

Another form Of beacon for mariners
OF smaller dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy.
These floating lamp holders, placed in
an estuary where the available channel
is often only narrow one, bounded by
mud or sand banks only few feet below
the surface of the water, are Invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the iIluminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating a high pressure reser-
voir and COMPRISING machinery.
Mr.. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus, has introduced a min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost. The
maintenance Of one form Of lamp can
be kept up at cost Of one penny for "a
hours, and as no COMPRISING machinery
is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost Of the lamp. The
approach to port-suoh as that of Liv-
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through Icng avenue of buoys
could by this invention be almost as
well lighted as city street. Cham

The MARRYING Arc

At what age do people marry? This
most popular time for woman to GET
married is from her twenty first to her
twenty fifth year inclusive. More than
one-half of the women who marry at
all marry in these five years of their
life, and another quarter marry between
the ages of 30 and 20, and not more
than third between the ages of 20 and
3d. The average age Of marrying is Just
over 26 for women and just under 90
for men. These figures include remar.
riages Fer spinsters only the average
age is %, aud for bachelors 2616.
It is a noticeable fact that in the last
ten years the average age of marrying
has, for men and women alike, gone IN

MEN OF GENIUS.

Stature Likes Them Not and Invari-

Through oil time men of genius have
scoffed at and have ridiculed the at
tempts Of purse proud old "richesse"
to create superior orders Of manhood
Nor is this matter for wonder. They
were and are ridiculous. Yet these at
tempts are repeated every hour. Con-
sidering them one would suppose that
wealth, titles, dignities, are talismans
which insure virtue and honor and per-
sonal worth and beauty in those to
whom they descend. Talismans are
Ridiculous, and SO are titles.
Nobility is of blood and not of gar

deal about the nobility Of race. Titles,

A wnrtin,e Hiding PIuce.

J. II. Gore writes an article fer st
Nicholas describing some peculiar Hid
ing Places In Wartimes. Those he
tells about were all in one house in Vir-
ginia, near a town which changed
hands, under fire, 81 times during the
war. Mr.. Gore says:
With fall came the "fattening time
for the hogs. They were then brought
in from the distaut fields. where they
had passed the summer, and put i'll
pen by the side Of the read. And, al
though within ten feet CT the soldiers
as they marched by, they were never
seen, for the pen was completely cover
ed ty the winters wood pile, except at
the back, where there was board
fence through whose cracks the corn
was thrown in. Whenever the passing
advance guard told us that an army
was approaching the hogs were hur-
riedly fed, so that the army might so
by while they were taking their after
dinner nap and thus not reveal their
presence by an escaped grunt or sQueal
Fortunately the house was situated i'll
a narrow valley, where the opportuni-
ties for bushwhacking were go great
that the soldiers did not tarry long
enough to search suspected wood piles
On one occasion we thought the hogs
doomed. A wagon broke down near the
house, and the soldier went to the
wood pile for pole to be used in mend
ing the break. Luckily he found a stick
to his liking without tearing the pile
to pieces. This suggested that Some nice.
straight pieces be always left conyen
iently near for such an emergency. in
case it should occur again.
