ORIGIN OF THE ROSARY.
An Interesting legend Associates Il
With q Garland OF E3osea.

with . Garland OF Roses.
Tracing the origin Of the rosary
back to times and places far remote,
Father Thurston, who read paper
before the Society of Arts, pointed
out that it would be agreat mistake
70 suppose that the use Of beads for
counting prayers was peculiar to
the Catholic church or was Of COM
paratively modern date. To deter
mine at what time the name rosary
(rosenkranz) was introduced is ex-
tremely difficult. Garlands of roses,
implying a reference to the term
rosary, were conspicuous feature
OF pictures and tablets of the ff-
teenth century, but before this no
clear examples are forthcoming. At
that epoch it was common for DO th
men and women in ordinary life to
wear garlands of flowers and to
place them as a mark Of respect
upon the heads Of persons and stat
ues. Father Thurston is strongly
inclined to believe that its applca-
ton to the particular devotion now
under discussion was mainly due tc
the popularity of certain story OF
q garland which can be traced very
much earlier than the worditself in
almost every part of the Christian
world. The name must have come
from the story, and the story was
not evolved out of an already pre-
existing name.
The legend in question is briefly
this: A youth was accustomed to
make wreath of roses or other
flowers every day and to place it
upon the head Of Our Lady's stat
ue. He became monk, andain the
cloister his occupations no longer
permitted him to observe this pious
practice. Being much distressed,
he, asked counsel Of an aged priest,
who advised him to say his AYES ev-
cry evening, which would be accept
ed by Our Lady in lieu Of the gar
land. This the young man faithful
ly observed until one day while on a
journey he had 20 pass through a
lonely wood, where robbers were
lying in wait. Quite unsuspicious
of their presence, he suddenly re-
membered that his Aves were not
yet said and forthwith stopped to
say them. Then, to their surprise,
the robbers saw most glorious lady
stand before him and take one after
another from the lips Of the kneel-
ing monk fifty beautiful roses,
which she wove into a garland and
placed upon her head. The robbers,
conscience stricken at the vision,
were all converted to better life,
and themselves soon after entered
the monastery.-LondoA Telegraph.

THE GIANT OF THE FORCE.
Terror inspired by "a New England
City's First Policeman.

Terror inspired by a New Enaland
city's First Policeman.
Some of tho old inhabitants OF a
small New England city were ex-
changing "Reminiscences the other
day about the establishment Of its
police department. The force was
small in numbers, but one of it's
members was almost giant in size.
9 feet 41a inches tall and broadly
built. There chanced to BIO hitch
about the delivery of the mems uni
forms, so that only one was received
promptly, and the Goliath of the
force stalked forth in his splendor
clone.
Naturally he created a sensation.
AS he patrolled the long, winding
street that ran the whole length Of
the place there were many COM
ments upon his personal appearance,
most of which were discreetly ut
tered after he had passed cut of
hearing.
At length, however, a shambling,
shabby, sly eyed, crack witted ne'er
do we'll stepped up and touched the
gorgeous figure on the arm.
"Say, mister" he whispered hum
bly,, "tell me the safest law to break,
and I'll break it for the honor of
walking down Main street with
them buttons"
The information requested was
not vouchsafed, and the giant
marched on in his buttons and his
dignity. But little farther along
a small boy who was playing in the
front yard was no less impressed,
although more bewisdered, by the
glittering and mighty apparition
He gave one look, eyes and mouth
at their roundest, and then indoors
crying to his mother:
"Oh, mamma, look, look! Is he
war or the circus ?"
Even after he had become q ia
miliar figure to the citizens the huge
guardian of the peace retained som,
Of his impressiveness. To one pris
oner at least he 80 embodied the ter
rors of the law that the man sub
mitted to an arrest which a few
words of explanation at the tim
could have averted. When in cour
he did at length explain, the judg
| inquired III astonishment why h
had not done 80 before. Smilin
confdentially at his honor, the &C
cused replied:
sWell, judge, it's like this: Your

RHEUMATISM.
me pesrair and Reproaeh Of Tho
Medical Profession.

the DESPAIR and Reproaeh Of tho
Medical Profession.
1t was by rheumatic twinges in
his joints that Adam was able 20
yo.eeast foul weather, and it was
rheumatism which Tortured Noah
during the damp days Of tie deluge.
Cld as this malady Is known to. be, /
it still remains the same stupendous
and battling mystery and the same
despair and reproach of the medical
profession. Now, as before the
Christian era, its treatment is en-
pirlcal and its prognosis blind guess
work. OF all the manifold afflic-
tions which restrain tho natural
gayety of mankind this elusive dis
ease is the least about which the
doctors have any right to dogma
tize. Their proper attitude toward
rheumatism is one Of humility and
awe. However, with arrogance which
approa9aes shameless effrontery,
they have recently affirmed that It
ls contagious; that person Of the
most blameless life may acquire its
seeds by consorting with q rheu-
matte friend or neighbor under IA
yoring circumstances. It may be
so; but, considering their appalling
ignorance of its causes and its ma
ture and what tissues it involves,
they can show no warrant for any
such alarming announcement.
Surely it is enough that the rheu-
matte sufferer is without the hope
Of human aid, is the victim of the
physicians impotence and is al
ready summed by the sensitive as q
center of moral pestilence without
his being prescribed as source Of
physical infection. Pugnacity, ir-
ritability and sometimes even pro-
family are characteristic Of acute
rheumatism. The moral descent of
a good man in the throes Of this all
ment is as pathetic as it is deplora-
BILE, SO piteous, indeed, that con-
siderate friends who are expert at
lodging often leave harmless mis-
siles within his reach that he may
vary the monotony Of pain with the
pleasure of personal assault. To
proclaim that rheumatism is con-
tagicns Is to drive from the pres
ence Of the victim eli sympathetic
friends and condemn him to the ex-
elusive care of the hardened profes-
sional nurse.-New York Times.

THE PRODUCTS FROM MILK.
TRANSFER OF INDUSTRY FROM FARM
TO FACTORY.

Washington. July q (specaD.-one of the most
striking features in the history OF dairy farming
n the United States is the transfer of this industry
in large part from the farm to the factory, as
shown by the experts of the Twelfth Census The
COWS and milk continue TO be farm property and
products, but constantly increasing share of the
labor Of converting milk into marketable form is
done at creameries cheese factories and conden-
series. The products OF these establishments come
into the realm of manufactures.
This change has taken place during the last half
century, which covers the period OF development
Of associated and cooperative dairying in America
When the milk produced more farms, or
the cream from such milk is brought together at
one place to be condensed, made into butter or
cheese domestic industry ceases the place becomes
g factory, and its output a manufactured product.
The United States census OF 1850 noted the exist
snee OF eight cheese factories The number in
creased little until after 1850 but In 1870 there
is1s reported, including both cheese factories and
butter factories. generally called creameries. The
census for 1880 reported 392 and that for 1890 gave
the number s.712 The returns for 1900 include
the statistics OF 1855 butter cheese and condensed
milk factories. These central plants have under
their control 2.o5o skimnnng separating stations
and 747 other branches
DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY.
The enormous development OF the industry IS
shown by the following table:
