That One Thiru LACKING.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having q
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over.
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
"Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud
whisper, Och, Pat, If We could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't It have
been hivin'."

blowing across it raises a cloud OF
dust.
A sonorous bridge led the way into
Nebraska, and the train came to a
halt at Omaha. Mallory and Marjorie
got out to stretch their legs and their
dog. If they had only known that the
train was to stop there the quarter OF
an hour, and if they had only known
some preacher there and had had him
to the station, the ceremony could have
been consummated then and there.
The horizon was fairly saw-toothed

preachers. preachers everywhere, and

SterlIIzed Coal.

Coal In the mines is one of the
things freest from germs. Old-time
doctors used to notice coal miners

and besmeared with coal dust. For q
long time II has been thought that
breathing In coal dust caused lung dis
eases in miners. Some experts find
fresh coal Is as good as sterilized. and
say miners have lung trouble because
they do not take the trouble to put
off their damp and sweaty clothing be-
fore going from the mine to their
homes, thus taking cold In the open
air walk. Experts say our miners
ought to put on warm and dry clothes
at the mouth OF the mine. But II
seems the miners have minds OF their
own, and although the coal companies
In some places fixed up hot and cold
water baths and dressing rooms at the
mouth OF the mines the men would
not use them, but went home to wash
and dress, as had been their custom
for generations.

The roses enumerated are such as
! have grown on my own grounds
and know to be satisfactory In every
respect. Before take up the indi-
vidual roses, 1t might be we'll to make
a concise reference to the two grand
divisions Of Queen Rosa's kingdom
and point out the difference between
the Tea and Monthly Roses and Hy-
brid Perpetuals.
The former make constant growth
and new flower buds all through the
summer and are therefore very prop
eriy termed ever-blooming. But the
appellation of the latter is a misnomer,
for they do not bloom perpetually, as
the name would indicate, producing
only one crop of flowers In June, with
an occasional blossom In autumn.
Unfortunately, the tea-roses are not
entirely hardy in our northern climate
and, IL planted at all, require winter
protection. The Hybrid Perpetuals, on
the other hand, are perfectly hardy
and vigorous, and distinguished by
fine foliage and magnificent flowers.
both as regards size of bloom and
color. which explains why they con-
tinue to be the most popular roses.
There Is, for instance, our old Hy-
bird Perpetual friend General Jacque-
minot, Familiarity known as Jack"
which still holds first place among
the dark red roses and is simply a
mass OF bloom when at its best.

shoots four to five feet high In one

would be complete without 1t.
Most rosarians If called upon to des-
fgnate the finest flesh-colored Hybrid
