ROSES AND THEIR USES.

ROSES AND THEIR USES.
Since the days when the ''sweet singer
| of Israeli sung the praises of the "Rose
of Sharon" the rose has been so trans
formed by the florists art that the flow
ers seen in the rose gardens of today beai
but small resemblance to the humble lit
tie blossom which the tourists who visit
the Holy Land see growing in that vi
| cinity.
The rose, with its constantly-increasing
beauty, has also increased in usefulness
| and the rose rest cure is the last mode
of usefulness to which the flower has
been put.
The rose held high place in the esti
nation of the Greeks and Romans. who
originated the idea Of regarding it as
symbolical of silence and reminder OF
the confidential nature of any informa
ton obtained when partaking of hos
pitality.
A: rose was suspended above the table
and the guests who We're breaking bread
stood the mute reminder. of the loyalty
that enjoins silence regarding any infor
| nation obtained under such circum
stances. From this usage grew the ex
| preston Sub rosa" with which many i'll
diyiduals precede or close any informa
ton which the bearer is not to repeat.
The rose is also supposed to be emblem
these depending on-the color Of the bios
som bestowed. The pink rose symbolizcs
love. the white rose youth and the yellow
jealousy
\ pretty legend ascribes to an angels
gift the extra beauty possessed by the
moss rose, yelled with its mantle OF
green. The angel, grateful for the pro
lection OF rose bush, asked the rose
what gift it desired in return. The rose
desired the angel to bestow another grace
upon it. and the flower in a moment was
covered with moss.
OF the flowers lineage an old legend
says, Il came of nectar spilled from
scmane, where Jesus sorrowed alone, the
rose doomed as it still does in fragrance
and beauty.
One of the most extensive industries to
which the rose contributes is the making
Of perfumes. The center of the perfume
II ~ try is said to be at Grasse, which
is IN the southern part of France. Won,-
en- and girls gather flowers daily between
the hours of and II o'clock a. M, and
on their return to the houses pluck the
leaves from the blossoms The rest of
each day is passed in preparing the leaves
for the process of extracting the oils con-
tanning the perfumes The season TO,
of May until the end OF June, and DURING
that time roses are collected in sufficient
numbers to make the 100000 Kilograms
OF rose leaves used each season. The
perfume known as altar of roses is also
made there in large quantities 1t re-
of the oil.
The Beers in the Transvaal are fond of
roses, and in Pretoria the streets are
bounded by rose hedges, which for all but
three months Of each year are fragrant
and beautiful with blossoms. Ali the

has been chosen as the floral emblem of
several states, Including New York, Iowa

Country Prosperous and Happy.

Markets have been increased and mort
cages have been reduced. Interest has fall
en- and wages have advanced. The public
debt is decreasing. The country Is we'll to
do. Its people for the most part are happy
and contented. They: have good times and
are on good terms with the nations of the
world. -
There are unfortunately those among us,
few in number, am sure, who seem to
thrive best under bad times and~who when,
good times overtake them in the United
States, feel constrained to put us on bad
terms with the rest Of mankind. With them
I can have no sympathy. 1 would rather
give expression to what believe to be the
nObler and almost universal sentiment of
| my countrymen in the wish not only for our
peace and prosperity, but for the peace and
prosperity of all the nations and peoples of
the earth.
After thirty-three years of unbroken
peace came an unavoidable war. Happily
the conclusion was quickly reached, without
q suspicion of unworthy motive of prac-
tice or purpose on our part and with fade
less honor to our arms. / cannot forget
the quick response Of the people to the
country's need and the quarter of million
men who freely offered their lives to their
country's service. 1t was an impressive
spectacle of national strength. 1t demon
strated our mighty reserve power and
taught us that large standing armies are
| unnecessary when every citizen is min.

tiOnal defense.

There can be no Imperialism. Those who
fear are against it. Those who have faith
in the republic are against it. So that there
is universal abhorrence for it and unan-
is that those who do not. agree with us have
no confidence in the virtue, or capacity, or
high purpose, or good faith Of this free peo-

that the century of free government which
the American people have enjoyed has not
rendered them fafthless and irresOlutc, but
has fitted them for the great task of lifting
distant peoples who have through the issue
of battle become our wards.
Let us fear not. There Is no occasion for

Nations Trials and Probe ms.

Out of these recent events have come to
the United States grave trials and reSponsi-
bilities AS it was the nations war, so are
ton rests upon us all. it is too serious to
stif1e. It is too earnest for repose. No phase
or catchword can cancel the sacred obliga-
ton it involves. No use of epithets, no as
persion Of motives by those who differ will
contribute to that sober Judgment so essen
tial to right conclusions. No political outcry
can abrogate our treaty OF peace with Spain
or absolve us from it's solemn engagements
It's determination is written out in their en-
lightened verdict. We must choose between
manly doing and base desertion. 1t will
never be the latter. 1t must be soberly set
tied in justice and good conscience, and it
nation, must control in it's solution.
No great emergency has arisen in this ma
tion's history and progress which has not
been met by the sovereign people with high
Mnflinching fidelity to every honorable OBJ
legation. Partisanship can hold few of us
against solemn public duty: We have seen
mark unerringly what it will be in the flu
ture. The national sentiment and the ma
tional conscience were never stronger or
higher than now There has been a re-
union Of the people around the holy altar
fed by common sacrifices.

HOW TO STEER CLEAR OF
COLDS.

My children frequently 60 through an
said mother the other day, land l at
tribute their immunity largely to my in
sistcnce that they shall not run about in
their bare feet. All children like to do
this, both at night after they are ready
for bed and in the morning before they
are dressed Few things are more direct
ly conducive to cold than this chilling
of the feet, and to guard against it I pro-
vide the crocheted bedroom slippers for
each child. 1t took vigilance and con
slant reiteration to teach them to wear
them every time their shoes and stockings
were DOTTED, but they are trained now,
and they slip their bare feet into the
worsted shoes instinctively and invari-
ably. Warm and dry feet in winter are
the best preventive of colds that has been

dreams is not too clever. 1t is pleasure
to him to be little superior to his mate
to be looked uD to'-and as the true
woman desires to look up it is clear
that natures arrangements in these mat
tiers are not without design. The most
charming woman of all is she who has
the consummate wit to seem to look up
when really she stands on level with
the man who loves her, or perchance a
little above him.
Zone thing imperatively demanded in
the makeup of the ideal woman is sym
pathy-that all-dividing, all-forgivins
quality which makes the whole world
akin. Sympathy is one of the prime fac
tors of charm. So is humor. A man is
fearfully lonesome when his wife cannot
see his jokes. She could hardly offer him
Il more deadly affront than to laugh III
the wrong place at one of his pet stories
The ideal woman is religious-has the
wise, sweet, old-fashioned notions about
right and wrong. A man is quite capable
of making merry over his wife's scruples
if, in his worldly way, she was guided
chiefly by expedience. He may not say
many prayers himself, but he likes to
know that his children pray at their
mothers knee. Perhaps he sometimes re-
fleets that the nightly petition from limo
cent lips, God bless father may not be
quite empty Of meaning

DAY WELL SPENT,

If we, sit down at set of sun,
And count the things that we have done
And counting find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard;
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went.
Then we may count the day we'll spent.
But if through all the livelong day
We've eaSed no heart by yea or nay;
If through it all
We've nothing done that we can trace
That brought the sunshine to face;
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day us worse than lost.

WHERE WOMEN CAN LEARN
FROM MEN,

Women, when ill, suffer more from the
indiscretion and the observation-disclosures of
friends than do men; they are i'll the
more often, for one reason. Then, too,
men do not visit one another in sickness
so much as women do, not being fond, in
See man call upon his afflicted friend,
and ten to one his wife or other female
mentor sent him, and that at considerable
outlay of rhetoric. Herein a man shows
at once his wisdom and his sel6shness.
Common sense and observation, if not
actual painful experience, have taught
him that man sick is like wounded
animal, which drags itself to some quiet,
sequestered spot to die or to endure
alone; he wants only his family about
him, and he wants them to be unofficious.
He knows, too, that sick man is not
entertaining; and as for stopping whole
afternoon to gossip with any other visit
ors who might drop in, the idea is pre-
posterous; the sick man would never per
nit it, anyway.-Bland Drummer Huddle-
ston in Woman's Home Companion.

But one trouble leaves merely to give
place TO another in this life. Jennie
was disturbed to notice that Mr.. Hard.
wick wat becoming more and more o II
fdential with her. He sat down by her
desk whenever there was n reasonable
excuse for doing so, and he consulted
her on matters important and IN mat
tiers trivial. An advance of salary came
to her, and she knew il was through
his Influence with the board of direct
ors. Although Mr.. Hardwick was sharp
and decisive in business matters, he
proved an awkward man where his
affections were concerned, and he often
came and sat by the girls desk, evi.
IDENTIFY wishing to say something and
yet quite as evidently having nothing
to say, and thus the situation became
embarrassing. Jennie was Il practical
girl and had no desire to complicate the
situation by allowing her employer to
fall in love with her, yet it was impos-
sible to go to him and ask that his at
tentions might be limited strictly to a
business basis. The crisis, however,
was brought on by Mr.. Hardwick him
self. One day when they were alone
together he said abruptly:
"That romance in high life which
you were investigating with Mr.. Cad
bury Taylor did not come to anything"
"No, Mr.. Hardwick."
"Then don't you think we might en-
act n romance in high life in this very
roomH 1t is high enough from the street
to entitle it to be called a romance in
high life" And the editor grinned I'M
easily, like an unready man who hopes
to relieve a dilemma by a poor joke.
Jennie, however, did not laugh and
did not look up at him, but continued
to scribble shorthand notes on the paper
before her.
"Ah, Mr.. Hardwicki" she said, with
a sigh. ~ see you have discovered my
secret, although l hoped to conceal it
even from your alert eyes. l am, in
deed, in the situation of Ralph Rack

hurst, which will haunt me all the rest
of my life, | fear" said Jennie, still
without looking up.
Mr.. Hardwick smothered an ejacu-
lation and was glad that the girls eyes
We're not upon him. There was a pause
of "A few moments duration between
them. He took the path that was left
open to him, fondly fattering himself
that while he had stumbled inadver-
tently upon her romance he had kept
his own secret safe.
IL have no right to intrude on
your condolences, Miss Baxter" he said
finally with an effort, land l hope you
will excuse me for-for'-
''Oh. | have been sure for some days
that you knew it!' interrupted the girl,
looking up, but not at him. IL have
been neglecting my work, l fear, and so
you were quite right in speaking"
mo; your work is all right. 1t wasn't
that exactly-but never mind. We won't
speak of this any more, for l see it EN-
harnesses you"
"Thank You, Mr.. Hardwick," said
Jennie, again bending her eyes on the
desk before her.
The man saw the color come and go
in her cheeks and thought he had never
beheld any II SO enhancing. He rose
quickly without making further at
tempt at explanation and left the room.
One or two ~teardrops stained the paper
on which the girl was scribbling. She
didn't like giving pain to any one, but
could not hold herself to blame for
what had happened. She made mp her
mind to leave The Daily Bugle and seek
employment elsewhere; but next day
Mr.. Hardwick showed no trace of dis
appointment and spoke to her with that
curt imperiousness which had hereto
fore been his custom.
