His Own Manuscript.

George AIDE, in the early days of
his career, before the FABLES in
Slang had brought him fame, called
one morning in Chicago upon a Sun
day editor on a mission from a theat-
rical manager.
81 have brought you this anu
script"-he began, but the editor,
looking up at the tall, timid youth,
interrupted:
Gust throw the manuscript in the
wastebasket, please" he said. "I'm
very busy just now and haven't time
to do it myself
Mr.. AIDE obeyed calmly. He re-
sumed:
81 have come from the theater,
and the manuscript | have just thrown
in the wastebasket is your comic
farce of The Erring Son, which the
manager asks me to return to yot
with thanks. He suggests that yot
sell it to an undertaken, to be reaG

Then Mr.. AIDE smiled gently anC
withdrew.

York, have been visiting the camp.
These gentlemen are extensively in
terested in several properties, par
ticularly the Tonopah. Belmont. They
visited the principal mines Of the
camp, and were much impressed with
the great amount OF development
that has been accomplished in the
short time time during which work
has been in progress.
In speaking Of the financial condi
tons in the east, they emphasized
the fact that industrials, railroads
and other stocks have suffered a
loss of prestige amongst the specu.
lators and investors generally; tina
the aggregate ~shrinkage has beer
excessive, and hat liquidation has
been very geueral-thus restoring
the financial atmosphere to its nor

not so inviting, they said, while many
Of them go begging. The result i!
that there is more money willing Il

on this for a while:
A and B have each 80 apples; c

cents. Together they sell their so
apples for % cents. G sells his at 5
for 2 cents, receiving "a cents for the

Now, if A and B sell their total

sells the same number and receives
only "a cents2 In other, words what
became of the ! cent difference, and
how is it to be accounted for2 1t will

Senator NewIand's Omaha
Speech.

At a J~acksonian Dinner in Omaha
the other day Senator Newlands
made a rather memorable speech.
1t was a plea for u~nification of the
eternally warning factions in the
Democratic party, and, strangely
enough, he admitted that the corpse
Of Imperialism ought not longer to
be disturbed by the ghoulisa demo-
Gratis who seeking to oppose the will
Of the people respecting commercial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT had evolved a
political ~scarecrow and called it I'm
perialism. In reviewing the tariff
and trust monopoly regulations his
recommendations are strikingly in
harmony with those of President
Roosevelt, and yet the good Senator
is a democrat. The usual platonic
platitudes placating the working
classes were revamped over an old
last, and a few hob-nails driven into
the worn down heel OF the shoe. The
speech in general, however, is filled
with admonitions and sound advice tc
his few stricken party.

Shaving the Briderroom.

The shaving of the bridegroom on his
wedding day is a Bulgarian custom
which. handed down from pre-Chris-
tian 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 a small white
linen cloth as a present and also a
trihing 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 be carefully weighed three times
by one of the boys.

CuIture and Richen

lf one-tenth as much attention were
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
tions 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 q 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, a difference of
experience. There is a comparative
cheapness 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 Maga-

The wicked multiplication Table.

A minister was hearing his Sunday
school repeat the catechism one Sun
day preceding confirmation when
boy from the class of small children
ventured to ask a question of the min
lister.
Turning to the clergyman, the boy
inquired in an anxious tone, "Why
does the multiplication table make peO-
pie wicked"
The minister thought at first that
the child had taken occasion to pro-
pound a cOnundrum at a most unscem-
ly time and was about to reprove him
when the earnestness of the expression
in the upturned face assured himsthat
the question was asked in good faith
and required a reply.
"Why do you ask such a question,
John? I never knew it to do So" be
said.
John turned to his catechism and
read from it with a mystified air the
question, did man grow worse as he
began to multiply?' and the accom-
panying answer, He did"

the late duchess managed toentertain so

seemed no room. was told by the butler
that for weeks at a time he had slept
on the top of the kitchen dresser. A
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
neighboring brook. Miss Macdonell Of
Glengarry, who told this, said also that
there was a waterfall near Ochtertyre
which the late Sir William Murray and
his brothers used as their shower bath.

that only a modern rifle could reach

are, however, trapped by the natives

. FAMOUS PERFUME
DelictOui Altar of Roses Is Chiefly
Made In bulgaria.

Made In bulgaria.
The far famed otto Tor attar) of roses
Ii 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 a 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 a
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 strolling through
the splendid galleries of her palace
with her betrothed (he Mongolian
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 unsightIy fluid, when il
was discovered the perfume was also
removed. Thus the virtue of the essen.
t1al oil was found out, which is still
called in Persia Altar Djihan."

Hon. Geo. r. Carter, Governor, Terri
tory of Hawaii, City.
Sir:-Some time ago. you asked me
to have an Investigate ton made of the
bridge on the other side of the Nuuanu
Pali. and have thought that possibly
you may be interested in reading a
portion of the report of Mr.. Howland
ssof the conditions as found by Mr.. c..
H. Smith, one of the engineers of the
Assistant superintendent Office. The
investigation was made on Saturday,
November 5th, 1904.
".Ry the use of a swing over the outer
edge of the bridge, the steel I-beams
could be examined. The rust was re-
moved from one of the 12-inch beams
and a hole drifled through the web
halfway between the fanges, and the
thickness of same measured with the
results as shown on the sectional draw
ing on the accompanying blue print. 1t
was found that all steel members that
were exposed We're very badly rusted,
so that from Is to 80 per cent of the
cross section was eaten away by at
mospheric action. At the connection
where the main beams are brought to-
gether and also where the smaller cross
floor beams join the main girders, the
metal work was in very bad condition,
with the exception of the bolts which
were in excellent condition due to the
fact that they were heavily coated with
oil.
Assuming that the bridge was built
according TO the plan and making COM
putations for fiber stress, the 15-inch
I-beam is subject to 47400 pounds to
the square inch under the dead load
only, and that on the 12-inch is 45,50O
pounds: these figures bring the dead
load fiber stress within a few thou
sand pounds of the ultimate strength
of steel rolled at the time this bridge
was erected. The condition of this
structure is such that it will be nee
essary to either build new structure
or better. in my opinion, to cut out an
additional width of roadway in the
solid rock. so that no structure is
necessary Temporary repairs could be
made at this time by putting in wood |
en- posts or columns in the proper places |
and supporting the main steel cutters |
A concrete three-arch structure could |
be built in place of this present one, |
though 1 believe such a structure would |
cost just as much as the necessary ex-
cavation in solid rock to obtain suff- |
