A BUNCH OF ROSES.

At a regatta ON Lake Lucerne the
whole surface of the lake was strewed
with roses.
The rose has through all time been
the symbol of the purity and charm Of
girlhood.
Spartan soldiers after the battle Of
Cirrha refused offerings of wine unless
it was perfumed with roses.
The rose seems to have long been
the symbol of silence. 1t has been
suggested that the utter inability to
set forth the charms of the rose has
admonished to silence.
Sweet as the fragrance of garden
is the Persian fable of the lump of
clay which gave to the air perfume
that tloated over the garden walls of
fair Iran. Il have been dwelling with
roses" said the clay.
In Bulgaria and Roumania, which
are great centers for the manufacture
Of altar of roses, damask roses are eX-
clusively used. These are gathered at
dawn. just as the buds begin to unfold,
and the essence is distilled from them
before the sun sets.-Circle.

CHINESE USE TIME STICKS
Each Will Burn Throughout a Period
of Twelve Hours.

The Chinese have several contriv-
ances for keeping the time of day. The
water clock has often been described,
but the use of burning sticks is less
familiar These are described by Colo
mel Bridges in his book, Round the
World in Six Months"
We bought small bundle of time
sticks. The sticks, each of which is
thirty-two inches long, are used, as
their name more or less implies, for
the purpose of measuring time. For
use by day some are especially made
while others for service by night are
particularly constructed.
Each burns during period of twelve
hours. OF these king Alfred's can
dies" as some Of our party termed
them, we bought two and from print
was at the same time handed to us by
the man who sold them we learned
the following particulars:
The materials from which these time
measuring sticks are made are pre-
pared according to the directions of
the official or imperial astronomers or
astrologerS. The duration of each
time stick is adjusted according to the
clepsydra or water clock, so that the
time which it indicates when burning
may be regarded as correct.
Time sticks which are manufactured
to mark the hours of the day must be
lighted at day dawn, when the lines
on the palm of the hand are just Wis
ible, while those which are constructed
to mark the hours of the night must
be lighted at dusk, when the lines on
the palm of the hand are not discern
ible. Each stick when burning must
be placed in a perpendicular position.
1t is also necessary that it should be
placed In a room free from currents
of air.-Youth's Companion.

Protoplasm.

All life on the earth appears only in
connection with one substance-a wa
terry jelly-closely related chemically
to egg albumen-and this substance is
known as protoplasm. Every living
thing is built Of this one substance

thing that lives. Biologists have sue
ceeded in doing some wonderful
things. Five or six starfish eggs have
been fused into one, from which a
monster starfsh has been produced.
Other starfish eggs have been separated
into eight pieces. from which eight
dwarf startish have been brought forth.
Grabs can be made to order, with the

The Great White Shark.

The man eating fish par excellence is
the great white shark. 1t Is otherwise
known by the name of man eater. Oc-
casionally specimens are seen ON both
coasts of the United States, though its
more customary habitat is in tropical
waters. This frightful creature attains
4 length of nearly forty feet, and it Is
able to swallow a man whole. This
fact is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond of making when such
shark is captured. The skull being
preserved, they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended Jaws. 1t would be unsafe to
do this, however, when the head has
been freshly cut off. because under such
conditions the jaws will snap together
fiercely for some time afterward IL
anything IS placed between them. The
skull of Il big shark, by the way, is al
ways salable owing to the demand by
museums and curiosity hunters. A
young sea lion weighing a hundred
pounds has been found in the stomach

that in the future whenever he used
such terms he would explain them. On

hyperbole and added: "As agreed on,
beg to explain this word. Were 1 to
say that at this moment the whole of
my congregation are sound asleep it
would be hyperbole. but if 1 say that
One-half are asleep that is no hyper
bole, but the truth" The next day the

minister need not explain technical
terms. The people would learn their
meaning from dictionary.-Rochest
