Turkish Altar of Roses.

Turkish altar of roses is mainly pro-
duced in Bulgaria and is carried on in
the fertile valleys on the southern
slopes Of the Balkans. The rose har-
vest in Bulgaria begins about the third
week in May and lasts about a month.
The second great seat Of rose farming
in Europe is the space between the
Maritime Alps and the Mediterranean.
in the extreme southeast Of France
This is. in fact, the great scent farming
and peFfpmery making center of Eu-
rope, the town Of Grasse being the en-
pOrium Of the district. OF course at
tar Of roses is also produced in India,
Persia and Asiatic Turkey under the
climatic conditions desired, but the
great bulk of the supply is furnished by
the European regions already noted.
The roses employed for altar making in
Europe are: In Bulgaria the red damask
rose and in the south Of France the
Provence rose, a hybrid or variety Of
the hundred leaf rose, to which also be-
longs the well known cabbage rose.

In the strain and excitement Of trad
ing on Wall street the brokers, says
Mr.. E. @. Stedman in the Century
Magazine. often relapse into wild mer-
riment and play boyish FRANKS. On
one occasion an old Indian with a
young brave, boy and two squaws
entered the gallery. At once the floor
put forth every effort to break down
their stolldity. A war whoop had no
effect. A war dance did not arouse
even a smile.
At last a baldheaded man was thrust
into a ring OF young fellows, his hands
held behind him. a knife drawn around
his pate, and the mummery of a futile
attempt to detach his scalp was en-
acted.
This was at last too much for the dig
nifty Of the aborigines. The boy broke
into a broad laugh, in which the squaws
joined; the young warrior grinned in
spite of himself, and at hast the SEM
blance of grim humor overspread the
face of the ruthless old chief, who may
have been the perpetrator of as many
atrocities as Geronimo.

WILL ASSUME
COMMAND HERE
ADMIRAL RoRLEY d. EVANS
WILL RELIEVE ADMIRAL BAR
KER IN PENSACOLA.

Speaking of the commander-in-chief
of the North Atlantic Squadron, the
Army and Navy Journal of recent
date, contains the following regarding
the date that the command will be
transferred:
Admiral Robley d. Evans, who will
succeed Rear Admiral A. S. Barker IS
commander-in-chief of the North Al
lantic feet the latter part Of March,
will sail for the south between the
Goth and 25th of March. He will as.
sumo command of the fleet at Pensa-
cola and will take the Maine as his
flagship. In the event that the re-
cent changes in the Maine have not
resulted in reducing her smoke, it
viii be necessary for the battleship
to return to a navy yard, where her
smoke stacks will be cut down. If
this is necessary Admiral Evens viii
be obliged to transfer his flag to the
Kearsarge, which is at present the
flagship of the fleet. The selection
of the Maine in place of the Kear-
sarge was due to the fact that she is
a newer ship and has quarters for a
chief OF staff. Capt. John z. Pills
bury mas been selected for this duty,
and will go south with Admiral Evans.
His successor as assistant chief of
the Bureau of Navigation has not yet
been selected by Rear Admiral Con.

The habit of swearing is net as com.
mon as it used to be in this country.
Gentlemen no longer use the language
with the uuvarnished freedom Of the
days of Sheridan, when a gentleman
was accustomed to consign himself,
collectively and in sections. to the low
est depths Of perdition in the presence
Of ladies while paying tribute to their
charms. Undoubtedly many youths
who were not brought up to swear
do swear now and then under provoca-
ton, but there is, all things consider
ed, an increasing respect for the Eng
hsh language-Wa Washington Times.

London English a Base JargOn.


The vigor and purity of a language
can only be preserved by the fashion
able class, the class whom I'm matters
social everybody initiates, speaking 1t
well. But how can English be well
spoken when some of the greatest la
dies speak the idiom of Massachusetts
through their noses and n large pro-
portion Of the men cough the idiom Of
Frankfort from their thFoats? The
constant babbling OF broken English
at dinner tables and in drawing rooms
is becoming quite fatiguing, and as a
result the English speak their tongue
worse than it was ever spoken before.
Everybody knows the temptation to
speak a sort of baby pigeon English
to a foreigner in the strange hope that
it may be more ineligible to him.
This and the slang taught us by the
Yankees have reduced the English lam
guage as spoken by smart people to a
base tsrgoR.-Saturday Review.

OPERA HOUSE AGAIN
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
Malay Superstition.

Malays have very much the same
ideas of bad and good luck signs as
prevail in other countries. If one trips
on the steps of his house or knocks his
head against the Intel when starting
for journey he delays day, if posi-
BILE, FOR the accident portends death.
Fearful i'll luck will attend a native
who starts on a journey in the rain, for
the rain signifies tears. As swarm
of bees settling ON or near a house in
England brings good luck, so the result
is the very opposite in Malay districts.
A bird flying into Malay house de-
cidedly benefits the occupier, for, if
caught, smeared with oil and COM
manded TO fly away with all the i'll
luck and misfortunes of the house, all
will be well.
In Singapore we see Malay cottages
around us. here and there, yet few
know the superstitions prevailing with
regard to the building OF these habita-
tons. For instance, if the steps in
front are by an unlHcky chance placed
exactly under the center rafters it will
mean quarrels and fighting under the
roof. A visitor to one of these dwell
ings must never lean against the steps
when talking. That would entail a
funeral from the house. This weird
notion arises from the fact that cof-
fms are handed to men at the bottom
Of the steps.-London Times.

They Hunger For Praise.

"Praise is sweet" remarked a GER
tain toiler, yet is seems to be against
the rule Of many business houses. Per-
haps they fear you'll demand a raise
If they compliment your work. Why,
even a man friend of mine, who is en-
gagged in window decoration, says he
wants to be told if his work is salts
factory. He dreams of it all night
when it doesn't give him a nightmare,
and he works at it all day. He longs
10 be told when 1t is effective. but he
has to be content with the fact that,
as he puts it, he'd be fred if it were
not satisfactory. AS for me, design
these doll dresses and other dainty
things and also arrange them for dis
play. l long for praise when I feel
that my labors have been crowned with
success. But, alas. my firm also pur-
sues the clam policy-perhaps it is the
best policy-in spite Of the fact that I'd
work the skin of my fingers to try to
exceed my best work if only that were
praised. "-Philadelphia Record.

PENSACOLA AMUSEMENT COM
PANY PURCHASES THE PLANT,
AND HAsHABANDoNED ITS PRO-
JEcT TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE.

The Pensacola opera house, which
has been owned by numerous parties
during the past few months, again
changed hands yesterday, when the
Pensacola Amusement Company pur-
chased the property from F. c. Brent.
In making the purchase the new
company, which formerly controlled
the house, abandoned the work OF
building the new Erlanger house at
the corner of Baylen and Chase
streets. ana all of the workmen who
were engaged In making excavations,
were discharged during the day.
Speaking of the deal and what
would be done, Manager Coe of the
old house stated yesterday afternoon
that his company would make many
Improvements in the place before the
opening OF the coming season. In
fact, he said, that many thousand dol
lars would be expended, and that
the entire interior would be remodel
ed, all of the galleries removed, and
remodeled and when the seats were
replaced they would be Of the latest
pattern and Of the finest workman
ship. The house will be made just
as fine as it is possible to make it, !"
was the remark of Mr.. Coe, and We
will not spare money in carrying out
this project"
"As soon as the present season is
concluded" he continued, I'VE will be-
gin the work of remodeling and re-
building the house. We have had this
project under consideration for num-
Der of years, but not being owners we
could not carry out our plans. Now
we can. and propose to do so. and we
propose to give the theatre going pub
lie of Pensacola an opportunity OF at
tending one of the most modernly
equipped houses in this section. Mr..
Smith will remain here during the en-
tire season, instead of visiting the
east and will personally sUperintena
the work which is to be done.
The house will be equipped with
the most modern machinery, including
q plant FOR heating during the winter
and cooling during the summer
months. Ladies' toilet rooms will be
provided-and in fact every appliance
for the comfort of partons will be
provided The house, when it is re-
modelled, viii have a seating capacity
of about. 1,600, if which there viii be
about $50 in the parquet. These
seats win be the best in the house

snnudriftr In Sweden.

The worst snowdrifts experienced by
any railroad are said to be those in
Sweden. Although the cold is not so
intense as in some Of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
tinuous. The snowplows Of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in the
world. There are times, however, when
even this machinery fails TO clear the
way, when hundreds Of men must be
employed to dig out the stalled trains.
