CuStCre nnd Riches.

If one-tenth as much attention We're
devoted to the fools among the middle
and working classes as is devoted to
the fool sons of the rich, we should be
in danger Of believing with Carlyle
that the people are mostly FOOLS" 1t
Is true that the culture Of the suddenly
rich Is cruder and narrower than the
culture Of those who have had genera
tons Of wealth and leisure, but culture
Is relative. The culture Of the most
cultured classes in the old world is the
result OF large wealth possessed for
generations. Culture is matter OF
growth, but it never grows in poverty.
The cheapness Of the culture Of the
very rich in this country as compared
with that Of the aristocracy Of old
countries Is simply the difference be-
tween youth and age, o difference Of
experience There is comparative
cheapncss in the culture, bearing and
manners Of the people Of the west
as compared with those Of the east,
and for the same reason. The aristoc-
racy Of the south and Of New England
have a refinement quite unlike that Of
the newly made rich in New York and
Chicago and the west. They have been
longer in the making.-Gunton's Maya

tions of everything. How can he
in the midst of a world Of per-
picking problems which puzzle
older heads avoid those mistakes
that often lead to disaster?
Surely not without wise and
friendly leader who will guide
his thoughts out and away from
himself to the right understand
ing Of the relation which he sus-
tains to all the world of things
and the universe Of truths.
Do not expect him to accept
any statement about good or evil
as the end OF investigation nor to
be satisfied with your belief that
a thing is true. Your expert
ence will not count very much
with him. Do you think it ought?
Then quarrel with Him who
made your boy an individual in
his own right, but do not fret
at the child. Your experience
has a positive value to him; he
has a right to it, and will use it
probably as a basis of operations;
but he will not accept it as just
as good as his own; and you
should not wish that he would,
for Gods way is the best, and it
is His way for every individual
to pick up Character by his own
experiences with both good and
eviI.-Mary Henry Rossiter.

Shaving the Bridegroom

The shaving Of the bridegroom on his
wedding day is a Bulgarian custom
which, handed down from pre-Chris-
tan days, is still observed with due
formality, especially in country dis
tricts. While the barber is at his
task a dancing crowd Of young folks
surrounds him and the bridegroom.
As the latter's hair is cut the snippings
are carefully collected by some Of the
girls for preservation in one Of the
brides chests. The barber, when his
work is done, receives o small white
linen cloth as a present and also a
triding sum Of money from each person
there. Then the bridegroom kisses the
hands Of the girls, washes his face and
dons his wedding dress, which must
first b. carefully weighed three times
by one ,e the boys.

Highland Makeshifts.

A few years ago accommodations IN
the highlands Of Scotland We're very
primitive. It Is related that the young
Duchess Of Gordon, on tnQuiring how
the late duchess managed to entertain so
much company at kinrara, where there
seemed no room, was told a. the butler
that for weeks at a time he had slept
on the top Of the kitchen dresser. 4
niece and two other young ladies were
known to have slept in the duchess
bedroom, which probably was not large,
for they were sent out to wash in the
neishboring brook. Miss Macdonell OF
Glengarry, who told this, said also that
there was waterfall near Ochtertyre
which the late Sir William Murray and
his brothers used as their shower bath.

glad to have you distribute as equally
as YOU can among the people OF your

largest number and do the most good.
If anyone who has not received seed
will write to me. I will try to supply
them. -,
I will esteem it a courtesy if you will
publish this letter in your regular issue.
With best wishes.

CROWDED THE HOUSE,
The Successful Scheme OF Theat-
rfcu1 Press Agent.

qhe Successful Scheme Of q Theat-
rtcnl Press Agent.
An agent who was in despair owing
to his failure to get any advertising
that had not been paid for found him
self in big western city with his at
traction playing to strong competition
and something desperately needed to
attract public attention to his show.
In one scene Of the play pair of hand
cuffs figured. The agent had an in
spiration. lie had the star snap
handcufr on her wrist, and then the
agent concealed the key. saying 1t mad
been lost. The star was compelled to
finish the act wearing the handcuf
dangling from her wrist. The audi
ence knew it should not be there, and
comment was aroused. Between the
next two acts the agent drove the ac-
tress swiftly to police headquarters,
near at hand. The police captain was
mysteriously called out. BE was in
formed that the actress must have the
handcuff removed at once and secretly,
as she did not wish news Of Ter pre-
dicament to get out. The chief brought
out big bunch Of keys, and finally the
handcuff was removed, but not until
a dozen alert reporters had snuffed
"story" and were plying the reluctant
press agent with questions. Finally
the whole story was pumped out Of the
agent, the star having returned to fin
ish the play. Next morning the first
page of every local paper had fine
story, descriptive Of the plight of the
actress who had accidentally fastened
a handcuff to her wrist. The public
was interested and focked to see the
play, and the resourceful agent went
on to the next town wondering what
new thing he could spring on the SEN
sation lovers there.-William LOTUS in

A FAMOUS PERFUME.
Delicious Altar Of Roses Is ChieSS
Made In Bulgaria.

Delicious Altar Of Roses Is ChieSy
Made In Bulgaria.
Tie far famed otto (or attar) Of roses
is chiefly made in Bulgaria. Kasanlik
is the center of the rose growing coun-
try. Red roses only are used in max
ing the perfume, but white roses, which
grow more freely, form the hedges of
the fields.
The trees, which grow to great
height, are separated by paths nine
feet in width to allow the oxen and
plow to pass. The perfume is obtained
not only from the petals, but also from
the stalks and leaves. These give q
peculiar scent, which adds greatly to
the delicacy Of the perfume Of the
petals.
October, April and June are the
months for planting branches Of the
old trees. Wedding, pruning and digging
are necessary for three years, when
they are full grown and repay the labor
spent upon them By bearing for twenty
years.
The discovery Of the delicious altar
was quite an accident and took place
three centuries ago. The Persian Prin-
cess Nour Djihan was strollirg through
the splendid galleries Of her palace
with her betrothed Cthe Monaghan
Prince Djihanguyr) and noticed in the
rosewater basins about the passages
an ugly, yellowish oil floating on the
surface. Orders were instantly given
to remove the unsightly fluid, when it
was discovered the perfume was also
removed. Thus the virtue Of the essen
tal oil was found out, which IS still
called in Persia "Attar Djihan."

WARREN TALKS ON
 LAND QUESTION Has No Objection to Having the Lands Taken Up IT IS WHAT THEY ARE 20 The House Passes s1e Pension Bills In two Hours-Many Other
 Minor idatters Are
 Disposed Of.
IT IS WHAT THEY ARE 20 5

Washington, April 2.-Mr. Warren occu- pied the greater part of the senate's time today with a speech attacking the Gih- son bill to repeal most of the existing land laws. He contended that the land laws were beneficient and in the main, honest ly administered and urged that there was no demand for repeal
 MT. Mallory concluded his speech on the old age disability pension order of the bill was completely slde-tracked for the day.
 A conspicuous feature in the senate chamber was a large easel bearing upon 1t series of pictures showing the ef- feet of irrigation, and the Wyoming tract of irrigated land, which has been the subject of inquiry in connection with the debate upon MT. Gibson's bill for the re- peal of the land laws. The easel wa. placed In the chamber at the request of Mir Warren, who had given notice of his intention to address the senate on the bill
 Mir Warren did not, however, find op- portunity to speak at the beginning of the days session, Mr Mallory continuing his speech on the Carmack resolution looking to an inquiry into the legality of the old pension order of Secretary Hitchcock. He said the order was a usurpation of legislative authority and unjustified. He declared that there had not been any evidence to justify the orig inal ruling that seventy-ave years was evidence of total disability nor any in the present, case to show that sixty-two years was evidence of half disability.
 Warren Proceeds With Speech.
 When MT. Mallory concluded the land law bill was taken up and MT. Warren proceeded with his speech. He took a position in opposition to the wholesale re- peal of the land law, and said the de- mand for a change already had been met by the senate in its action upon the tim Der and stone act He also called atten- tion to the fact that the President had endorsed the recommendations of the Richards commission which were in the interest of modification if not for the re- peal of the law.
 MT. Warren expressed the opinion that we are in no danger of the absorption of the public domain.
 What is the public domain for he asked, 'if not to be absorbed?' He added that he would be pleased to have 1t taken twice as rapidly provided it be taken by settlers. He said that more than one-third of the total area, including Alaska, Is still public, and concluded that the government should offer liberal enc courage1nent to settlers
 At 4:5o D. m. MT. Warren concluded and the senate adjourned.

Diamonds for Breakfast.

From the New York Press
 If any one thinks diamonds in the morning" are an evidence of bad breed ing, a musical morning In the Waldorf's grand ballroom would convince him to the contrary. All the women of fashion are laden with gems, and, although tiaras and dog collars are tabooed. diamond chains and glittering brooches are used freely. It is a bit ncongruous when woman wears a 5000 corsage ornament with cloth walking suit. But the wo- men who buy the boxes for prfncely sums and whose names are high in the list Of persons of fashion in New York have is- sued the decree. One woman carried chain of diamonds and several pins or great value. Another woman whose name is linked with every charitable en- terprise wore a strand of pearls of suffi- cient worth to keep five families in com fort for a year. Jewel experts say pearls should be worn morning. noon and night, and this seems to be the excuse for, the women who wear their pearls for break fast The morning attire of the modern New York woman Is not different from that for the late afternoon. Velvet gowns with deep cuffs of lace are in general favor. and the tone of luxury is desired above all things. A.
