GOLD CAMP OF TODAY.
Vivid Description of New Town In
 the West.

In Harper's Magazine for April, Philip Mighels gives vivid picture of western mining camp as he saw it on the night of hls arrival: "It was twilight when we came in sight of the brand new mining camp, built In natural amphitheatre formed by the square-cut table mountains. It was a thickly studded constellation of tents, with struggling domiciles and dueouts scattered about over space of ten square miles. In their whiteness and squareness the tents resembled countless dice at rest where the toss of fate and chance had left them to grasp at foot hold.
 "The darkness closed in as we drove Into town. Our teamster swung his animals at once Into large corral where hundreds of mules dozen cows. scores of men, great dusty wagons. and piles and heaps of baggage. lumber, cases,

CONVERTING CREEK INTO LARD.
How stagnant Stream Near Chicago g Is Transformed Into Fancy Rrand.u

From ''The Private Car Abuses" by Sam

 April.
 There Is a stagnant little stream in the stockyard district of Chicago which finds It's ultimate outlet in the South Branch of the Chicago river. The packing houses have found this stream convenient as sort of cesspool; into it they dump that part of the refuse of their slaughter houses which cannot by any known pro- cess be utilized In making up their mar ketable products. This refuse consists mainly of animal matter, and, as this pu- trefyng material in the water gives off gases continually which find their way to the surface scum in the way of bub- bles the stream has come to be known

The Brides
Roses
By EMMA GARRISON JONES

T HIS grand and ancient temple,
which was built in the far-gone
days of the old British regime, stands
amid the low-lying hills that encircle
the ~swift-fowing Rappahannock. with
the dim spires of Fredericksburg shin
ing in the distance. and the ~everlast-
ing pines, for which Virginia is so
noted, standing in thick files on either
hand.
Centuries upon centuries have ex-
pended their storms upon the massive
walls, and yet they stand, mute yet
most eloquent monuments of the
strength and durability of old-time
architecture.
One can even yet discover some
traces of the old altar stones and the
tablets wherein the names of the dead
and gone vestrymen are recorded; and
the pew, once occupied by Washington
and his relatives, is still reverently
pointed out to every sight-seer who
turns out of the beaten tnoroughfare
of travel to have a look at this sacred
and venerable pile.
But the brides rose, have you seer
that?' questioned u guide, as we
were making our way out over the crum-
bling heaps of motar.
THE brides rose? Why, no, what
Is it?"
Our guide was a woman, a gray and
gaunt old creature, who lives in a little
hut near at hand, and earns an honest
penny now and then by showing trav-
elers over the ruins c. old Potomac
church.
She turned back on the instant, shak
ing her gray head slowly from side t.
side.
"Ah, you must see the brides rose,
she said; come along!"
We followed her back, owe heaps o
dehris, undar the crumbling arches O

Come away, come away, away,
From the prisoning walls of town
And the structures that beetle and frown,
To the reaches Of plain and the win and

Where the glorious sun goes down.
Come away come away, away,
Where the westering grasses grow
And the boisterous breezes blow =
And the meadowlarks wing as they joy

And the herd boys are crying; "Oh, hot"
Come away, come away, away
Where the cranes and the curlews fly
And the wolves n the coyotes cry
And the garter snakes glide n the prairie

And the cattle go laundering by.
Come away, come away, away,
Where the red man In days long g
Went afar with his CULVER and bow,
But the rcd man has fled and the sound Of

And the sagebrush Is dusty and dry,
Where the hreweed burns and the compasA

HOW THE TEACHER TAUGHT
An Example of the Original View Of
Things a Child May
Take.

In their efforts to teach children, pa
rents are often surprised by the original
views which the youngsters take, and by
their presentation Of views which, while
they may be but partial, are at least cor
rect and discriminating so far as they 60,
saws Edwin J. Prindle, in st. Nicholas.
II occurred to a father, who noticed q
carpenter hammering upon the roof OF
a distant house, that he would give his
little son (eight years old a lesson in
physics. by calling attention to the fact
that the blows of the hammer could be
seen before the sound made by them
could be heard, and explaining that the
difference in time between the seeing Of
the blows and the hearing Of the noise
was due to the fact that light travels
much faster than sound. He sought to
introduce the subject by asking the boy
If he understood why it was that he
could see the hammer fall before he could
hear the noise of the stroke. He was as
tcnisbed to receive the reply: Eyes; its

the old English temple = bats and
ghost-moths hurting in our very
eyes, and the hush of the falling twi-
light all about us. Through the main
aisle; out at the great arched door,
down the fallen steps into a little court
yard.
The old woman stopped down and
parted the rank, luxurious growth that
covered the ruins at II feet.
There it u.s." she said; "look!"
We stopped down, and, looking close
1y, saw amid the rank grass a great
cluster of scarlet roses. The shrub
upon which they bloomed seemed to
be small and stunted in it's growth, but
the flowers were a marvel of perfect
loneliness, so large, so fine, so delicate
in tint and texture, more like the Gull
tivated bloom of a dollhouse than the
wild growth of the fields.
stop! You wouldn't touch emp"
cried the old creature, in utter terror,
as we put out our hand to Gull one of
the perfect flowers. Don't, for
heavens sake! 1t is the brides rose,
red with blood, and presently the bride
herself will come and gather them.
She comes every night and gathers
them, and every morning they bloom
again afresh. Don't touch 'em!"
We drew back with an involuntary
shudder, and the old woman rose to
her feet, letting the rank grasses close
around the shining, blood-red blossoms.
Come" she said, in a sort of awed
whisper. you've seen the rose; let's
be going. The dark will be upon us
in a twinkling now, and the bride
walks at dark! We mustn't be here
when she comes! Hark, that's her
voice now! Don't you hear? She
always comes a~-singing, so her lover
will know when to meet her. Don't
you hear?"
With her skeleton finger uplifted and
| her hollow eyes fixed on mine, the old
| creature stood and listened. A faint,
(! sweet murmur, that might have been
the echo of distant song, or the soft
pulsing of the summer air, thrilled the
twilight silence.
Don't you hear?" she cried. in ter
ror. Come away!"
And half in W myself, as l looked
back at the gray ruins over which the
sumner darkness was falling, I fol
lowed her across the green copse,

poINTs ON APPENDICITIS.
Jersey School Superintendent Turns
Loose on Vermiform Mis-
information.

Many a layman has been "stumped"
in trying to master the intricacies Of the
vermiform appendix. But let everybody
take heart, says the New York Sun.
In an aristocratic New Jersey suburb
recently the superintendent OF public
schools was visiting a grade while a lesson
in physiology was being demonstrated
The teacher was explaining the construc-
ton Of the spinal column. She compared
it to a string of beads in order to show its
formation, and drew a diagram for further
illumination.
When the lesson was finished, the super
%intendent suggested that q most impor-
tant feature of the spinal column had not
been explained.
1T is this curious, pointed section at
the base" he said, indicating the end Of
the vertebral column, which is called
the vermiform appendix. You have an
heard of appendicitis? Very good. Wen,
that is the name given to a disease which
is caused by an Inflammation of this ap-
pendix. An operation for appendicitis
means an amputation of this useless ap-
pendix."
There is a new superintendent of public
schools in that suburban New Jersey
town.

NOT THE AMERICAN NATION
The President Finds That Congress
Has Something to Say About
Treaties.

President Roosevelt has suffered an
obvious and deserved check in his San
Domingo plans. Even his protocol"
designed to give him practical control
of a foreign country, had to belaid before
the senate, says the New York Post. In
g%eniously calling it a protocol instead
of treaty does not help matters. The
essential thing is that the president Of
the United States has to consult
bod.l before committing this country 20
a policy fraught with momentous con-
sequences. He cannot make foreign al
~liances, or guarantee the integrity Of
alien territory, or erect his fiat into law,
all eff his own bat. Itmay be a disagree
able necessity for one wise and power
full to have to take the opinion of those
whom he knows to be ignorant and in
potent, but, %unhappily, the constitution
ordains that he must-let all the Gardi-
ners say the contrary to executive Ca
nutes, as they may. The total result of
| this little misery of the administrative
| life will be wholesome, both at home
and abroad. 1t is particularly desirable
to teach foreign governments that MIR.
Roosevelt is not the American nation.
That lesson they may also learn from the
deliberate and overwhelming rejection
by the house committee of the presi-
dents naval proposals. By Is to 4 it
voted that he may have two new battle
ships only, and that his estimated naval
expenditure must be cut by Sis, 900 900 or
so. Foreign naval experts who have
been writing in awed tones of President
Roosevelt's formidable naval pro-
gramme," will please take notice. People
and congress have something to say,
after all. The Army and Navy Journal.
to be sure, declares that "the president
has no patience with those members OF
congress" who are against granting his
demands, and has threatened to "call an
extra session to take up the matter OF
naval increase Immediately after the
4th of March," Doubtless, Mr.. Roose-
welt has used wild and whirling words
on that subject, as upon others; but
doubtless, also, after this session of con-
gress has expressed its mature judgment
