PERE-lA-CHAISE
Famous Resting Place of the Great
Dead of France.

Famous Resting Place of the Great
Dead of France.
In the center Of the most populous
and hardest working part of Paris lies
Pere-la-C haise, the city of the dead.
All fetes Of the faubourg beat against
the walls of this spot, which has it's
own fete twice a year. Within less than
a century this cemetery has become
the abode Of at least 100000 dead. 1t
formerly formed a part Of the domains
Of the bishopric Of Paris under the
name Champ Leveque. Under Louis
XIV. 1t was known at Mont Louis. At
last, May 81, 1904, the official opening
OF the new metropolis took place.
The white m~ausoleums among the
green trees remind the visitor Of an
oriental city. but 1t Is estimated that in
twenty years there will not be space
enough for one lone dead man. A cal
culation has been made which would
point to the fact that the sum Of $780,
100000 Is represented in these last
sleeping places of Even though
the French may not always be grateful
during the life Of their illustrious chill
dren. there Is a mighty attempt after
death to prove appreciation. Among
the famous men who are today lying
calm and beloved in Pere-la- Chaise are
Rossini, Bellini, Chopin, members Of
the famous Carnot family, Moliere, La
Fontaine, Delacroix and Balzac.
Here the tomb Of Heloise and Abe
lard is visited continually by large num-
bers of pilgrims, and there Is never an
end to the sentiment around the Gothic
monument rising from the bright hued
geraniums and roses. Notwithstanding
the iron railing, many a lover carries
from the hallowed spot a petal blown
across by the obllging breeze. Except
for one section, where a considerable
number Of artists and authors, brothers
In beauty and inspiration, are grouped,
the tombs succeed each other without
much order. There Is a single monu-
ment erected by the state to the SOL
diers killed In the siege of Paris.

cup,
Refused to drink her portion up.
Bhe turned her little head aside,
Dfsgusted with the taste. and died.

4 ROSE or JERICHO.

tier Plants.

u - the original Of All the
tien Plants.
Several varieties Of the 50 called
resurrection plant have appeared
among the novelties offered by florists,
but the original IL the rose Of Jericho.
Along the shores OF the Dead sea, far
enough away to be out Of reach Of the
death dealing vapors and the salt
spray. grows this rose, a little plant
famed In many a legendary story,
which, when ripened, rolls up its sprays
and branches into a curious little brown
ball.
The desert winds snap or its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
q f~eatherweight. After it chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days. the moisture has wrought a mira
Gle. for the once. dead Is alive again,
green and growing.
The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land, told wonderful tales Of It's
power to bloom out on Christmas day
and gave 1t the name Of resurrection
flower. Another old legend names it
st. Mary's rose, because it Is said that
when Joseph and Mary were fleeing
from Egypt one of these flowers grew
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
its seed, and from these 1t may be cul-
tivated as an annual. To resurrect
these dry balls 1t is simply necessary
to keep them standing In glasses Of wa
ter, Immersed about halfway to the
top Of their branches. The expansion
Is merely a mechanical, spongelike
process.
The botanical name of the rose Of
Jericho Is anastatica, from anastasis,
resurrection. There are other species
Of resurrection plants, but they are not
30 attractive as their Dead sea relative.

beauty, has an honored place among
