MAKING ALTAR OF ROSES.
From the New York Press.

"Oh, Henry. deeh. I'm going to make
some perfunlery. What do you SUP
pose? Altar of roses. You know now
very. very expensive it Is in the shops.
Why, l nave paid as much as-oh. I
can't tell. but an awful rice for a tiny.
tiny vial. Our lovely roses are losing
all their leaves. and l am determined to
make use of them. ont you think it
q capital idea? We can surprise Mrs.
Nc by presenting to her a whole
bottle of altar made out of u ownest
own La Frances, Jacks, Baron De Bon
American Beauties. Baby Ramblers,
Magnafranos. Teas, Bridesmaids and
Lady Ratterseas.' With his encourage
men the little wife began industriously
to save the falling petals In fruit jars.
She had only twenty rose bushes all
told. At the end Of ten days three
quart jars were filled with'petals and
h little woman got ready to make
her altar. Henry was to buy a small
still. Professor Heffner came out for
dinner, and was delighted to hear about
the scheme. All in a fiutter she ex-
hibited the three Jars. Have you
weighed the peals?" he asked. She had
fish scales, and. at his request, a square
yard of cheese cloth. The roses were
tied in the cloth and found to weigh
five ounces gross. my dear Mrs."
said the professor, sorrowfully. I'm
afraid you won't make a great deal Of
altar out Of these roses. In Arabia and
Turkey it takes 800 pounds Of fresh
roses to make n ounce Of attar-one
ounce mind you. It would be impos-
sible to calculate the inflnitesimal
amount you would derive from the dis
tillation of our Ave ounces of petals"
The professor Is now persona non grata.
He is known as 'horrid old thing"
And Mrs. Nc will wait yet awhile for
her whole bottle Of altar"

His roa,nlngs had begun and continued

gained without any seeking or his part.
Five long desperate years had passed
since the blow fell upon him. and time
was doing Its work. He had begun to
forget her. to promise himself that. this
present enterprise accomplished, he
would eliminate the past and lead a
newer and different life. and yet there,
on the most unlikely corner OF Gods

whom she was never parted.

The unexpectedly heavy output Of the
Goldield mines was s7,026,l54, an in
crease Of over $1,000, 900 over the pre-
oedinR year. The Tonopsh district in
Nye county, produced 81 ,304 SIT in gold,
an output not very different from that
Of zoos. Lincoln county furnished, in
the ~Searchlight and DeLamar (Fepgus-
on) district an almost equal quantity OF
gold. Elko and Storey are the remain.
ing counties whose output exceeded 81,
GOO 1000. Elko, in the northeastern por-
ton Of the State, yielded a considerable
output OF silicious ore from several dIR.
tricts near or north OF T%uscarora. The
Comstock output was diminished TO al.
most 5000 900. The product is obtained
almost who'll, from silicious ores Of high
average grade. The placep contribute
n value Of only $4,000. An increase III
the gold production OF Nevada Tor 1907
seems probable.
The silver output was 6,570,6Il ounces
an increase Of 2sS $50 ounces, which is
pretty evenly distributed over all the
counties, the distribution corresponding
TO the general increase in mining activ,
ity. Only the Comstock mines in Stor
ey county and White Pine show a de

PANICS COMPARED

shows some marked differences. The
