brought back with him as many as possible of the red roses, known then as the roses de Provins, which was easily corruptei into roses of Provence. So passionately fond was he of these flowers, and so devoted was he to his beautiful wife, that he adopted the red rose as his heraldic badge and as his armorial bearings and was wont to describe his consort as the lovely
 Rose of Provence" By his followers, however, she was known as the Rose of Lancaster" They both lie buried in Westminster Abbey and their tomb is covered with seulptured roses. His descendants naturally retained both his badge and his armorial bearings, and thus it was that the rose became identified with the royal house of Lam caster, from which the present reign ing family of England is descended. Let me add that the ruins of the castle of ProVins still exist and that it's gar dens are to this day crowded with crimson roses, descended from that single plant which Trfbaut, the ''troub- adour'' count de Champagne, brought back from the Holy Land at the close of the last and ninth crusade.

TIE ROSE 0F LANCASTER.
EMBLEM OF ENGLAND.
How the Flower Came to be Adopted by the
 British.

 Vorl- 1rrihupaN

('Marquise de Fontenoy" in the New
 York Tribune.)
 While everybody knows that the rose is the floral emblem of England and figures as such in the insignia of her orders of knighthood and in the herald ic devices of her reigning family, yet few are aware of the origin of the connection between England and this particular flower, which halls from the Orient l will, therefore, offer a few words in explanation of the subject, thereby complying With the requests from some readers, whose interest in the matter has been arousei by the announcement that at the banquet gtv- en by the St. George Society of New York the other day, the members and their guests had worn boutonnieres of red roses in honor of the fact that their principal guest, Ambassador Bryce, had been on two occasions chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. The rose was unknown in Europe prior to the ninth crusade, but was brought back by Thi5aut, count of Champagne, from Palestine, where it flourished on the plains of sharon and on the slopes of Carmel. to his castle of Provins. Throughout all his weary wanderings from the Holy Land to his home in France, the count carefully tenied this plant, namely, a red rose, and man aged to aoclmatize it in the gardens around his castle, where it multiplied exceedingly The fame of the flower spread througout France, and by req son of its having come from the Holy Land was regarded as so sacred that it was in great demand for altar dec- orations and for bridal wreaths,
 Before Count Tibaut died he gave his daughter as wife to Edmuni, duke of Lancaster son of the famous John of Gaunt. After the counts death the duke Of Lancaster had to fight for his wife's inheritance, and when he return ed to England and settled there he

HUsTLING TROLLEY WORK. New Line Between Naugatuck and
 Beaver Falls Nearly Done.


 With the exception of stringing the trolley wire, the new line of the Nau- gatuck-Seymour trolley, from Nauga- tuck to Beacon Falls, is practically completed. The trolley wire for the transmission of power has been car ried to a point south of Egypt brook, and it will reach Beacon Falls in a few days
 Nagatuck people expected the com- pletion of the line as far south as the Beacon Falls road at the cemetery be fore the close of 1906, on promise said to have been made by John E. Sewell. This would have probably been done had not the work been held up by the laying of the South Main street sanitary sewer, in the Rubber borough, which blocked some of the trolley work for several months, IL is now understood in Naugatuck that cars will not be run beyond the pres ent terminus prior to the erection of ehe overhead wire all the way to Bea- con Falls.
 The work in Seymour is being pushed with great rapidity. The tracks are laid through the town, with the ex-

QUICK THOUGHT SAVED SHIP.


 The Russian war frigate Olaf, prior to the outbreak of the war with Japan, which had accompanied the yacht ot the czarowitz to Copenhagen, was iy- ing at anchor among hundreds of other ships in the harbor when a fire was discovered in a coal cellar below, which was only a few feet from the powder magazine. There was m time to put out the fire before it could reach the magazine, and an explosion of the large stores of cartridges and gunpow- der contained in 1t probably would have destroyed rot only the Olaf and the surrounding ships, but part of Copenhagen itself.
 Captain Rehbinder, the commander of the Olaf, saw at once that the only thing to be done to prevent a catas- trophe was to sink the ship. After sending away the crew, with the ship s papers, cash boxes and most valuable instruments in boats, he ordered the carpenters and engineers to make a leak in the vessel, and half an hour afterWard she sank in shallow water.
 Nexth day she was raised again and sent off for repairs.
 The court-martial unanimously ex- pressed the highest praise of he cou- duct of the captain and his subordi- mates. The emperor appointed him his aide-sle-camp, which is one of the nigh est honors conferred on Rus siaa naval officers, and the officers and men re- ceived gratuities from the enlperor's privy purse.-Sunday Magazine.
