In trade the rose is very valuable, as
the affairs of India and Persia sell at
q very high price, and there are large
districts of rose gardens in which men
and women are employed, the harvest
months being March and April In
Turkey also rose farming is largely
carried on, and very fine altar is got
from the rose grown in Kashmir.
Even rosewater is a luxury which is
by no means to be despised as to price,
but the altar of roses is immensely
costly, and it takes an enormous num-
Der of flowers to distil even few
drops.
The altar is said to have been first
discovered by the favorite wife of
Jehan Jeer, through whose garden ran
canal of rosewater, on the surface of
which the begun found few drops
of the precious altar or oil floating,

In London and throughout the tight
little island the words "up" and
down" have peculiar significance.
In going to London from any part of
England you go up" In travelling in
any direction from the capital you go
down" So in London itself every.
thing goes "up" if ii goes in the direc-
ton of the banl-that is, the Bank of
England-and going from that center
toward any of the points of the COM
pass Is to go down"
The word bank, which is not only
always spelled with a capital 3D." but
is always uttered with an impressive
ness that suggests an initial letter of
the largest type, may be said to be in
sense interchangeable with city, a
term of equal dignity and value in the
eyes of Englishmen, and likewise in.
variably adorned with capital &C."
The City does not mean London by
any means. 1t means a certain lin.
tied section of London, the part where
business is mainly carried on and
where the great financial institutions
stand.
