"Maadenfng Potted Phrase,» We have protested against the “fault- ; ess even dress’’ of the hurried descrip- , writer, since evening dress is the only male attire tint excludes the possibility of error. But a long list could be made of the phrases—tinned and stale—which all writers use who write like enterprising and hurried builders, building with ready made doors and' window panes. For example, one nevei reads an account of a railway accident from the Ups of the “badly shaken” passenger witi.out finding that “all went well until"-the t>g happened. But perhaps the mo/: maddening of these potted phrases is “the rash act.” You will read how Mr. Smith or Mr. Brown sat down and wrote several long letters to his relatives, how he had with great care arranged his affairs, how with the utmost deliberation he purchased poison, a revolver, a new razor ami a ball of twine: how he sent his family away for a holiday, went to his room and conscientiously poisoned, strangled, sliced and shot himself. “No reason, runs the inevitable comment. Is assigned for the rash act,” which was as deliberate as the movement of the Rhone glacier.—London Chronicle. I'lirkiwli Altar of Rouen. Turkish attar of roses is mainly pro duced in Bulgaria and is carried on in the fertile valleys on the southern slopes of the Balkans. The rose bar vest in Bulgaria begins about the third week in May and lasts about a month The second great seat of rose farming in Europe is the space between th* Maritime Alps and the Mediterranean in the extreme southeast of France. This is, in fact, the great scent farming and perfumery making center of Europe, the town of Grasse being the emporium of the district. Os course attar of roses is also produced in India. Persia and Asiatic Turkey under the climatic conditions desired, but the great bulk of the supply is furnished by the European regions already noted. The roses employed for attar making in Europe are: In Bulgaria the red damask rose and in the south of France the Provence rose, a hybrid or variety of the hundred leaf rose, to which also be longs the well known cabbage rose. A Dream With a Moral. A rich lady dreamed that she wer» to heaven and there saw a mansion being built. “Whom is that for?” she asked of the guide. "For your gardener.” “But he lives in the tiniest cottage on earth, with barely room for his family. He might live better if he did not give away so much to the miserably | poor folks.” Farther on she saw a tiny cottage being built “And whom is that for?” she asked. “That is for you.” “But I have lived in a mansion on earth. 1 would not know how to live in a cottage.” The words she heard in reply were full of meaning. “The Master Builder is doing his best with the material that Is being sent up.” Then she awoke, resolving to lay up treasure in heaven.—Chicago Posh Her SmnKKled Necklace. Women who are the soul of rectitude In all other things will not hesitate to evade the law when it comes to smug gling. For some reason or other they do not consider smuggling dishonest, but rather as an exciting sort of game to play. Every woman who goes to Europe spends hours of her preparation to return in devising means of bringing things in without paying duty. Men are much more honest about the things they bring in. and not long ago I heard of a case in which a man humored this smuggling tendency in his daughter, but took good care that she should not be discovered evading the law. His daughter had purchased a valuable diamond necklace in London and announced her determination to bring It in without paying one penny of duty. There was no reason in the world why she should have chosen to do this, as her father was a very rich man and could have paid the duty without noting its absence from his bank account But she wanted the excitement, and her father agreed to let her have her j own way. She brought the necklace in In a small bag, which her father asked her to let him hold for a moment or two. and it was not for nearly a year shat she found out her father had declared the ornament and paid the duty on it. At any rate, she had had her amusement. —New York Post. A hoßttfn Propowd. “Emersonia, shall we merge our j twain existence into one?” “I am not averse to such a consumI mation.

Mr* Di«rnell'« Economy. Os the rigid economy practiced by Mrs. Disraeli there is one very good story told: Mrs. Disraeli and her bus band had come down from London t< spend the Easter vacation at Hughen den and had called on the varioustradesmen at Wycombe to order the groceries and other requirements foi their ten days' or fortnight's stay. Ii so happened that their sojourn was rather abruptly shortened, and Mrs Disraeli was seen calling ai the gro cers and other purveyors, taking out o the carriage the nonconsumed ware and asking the shopkeepers to receivi them back and have them reweighei and so to make a reduction in their ac counts. The great statesman, with folde arms, was leaning back in the carriage perfectly nonchalant, but evidently desirous to have no share in the fruga transaction. Such rigid economy wa no longer required after the old lad: who so admired his books died and left him her entire fortune, amounting to over £4o.ooo.—London Tit-Bits. Flight of the Woodcock. Some writers have claimed that th*woodcock is sure in his flight, never becoming entangled in briers or creeping vines when in swift flight through close cover. That may have been their experience, but is not mine. I have seen woodcocks when flushed in such spots become so entangled that they were forced to cease flying and drop to the ground to again make a new start in flying. I remember one old fellow that sat hidden before the stand of one of my setters until I almost stepped on him and then, rising nearly into my face, got tangled in a clump of ironweed and fell at my feet. Had I been so disposed I could have caught him in my hands, but my desire was to see if he was injured, and a moment later he proved that he was only a badly frightened woodcock, as he darted away through cover while I watch ed and laughed at him.—Amateur Sportsman. How He Proponed. “How did he do it? What did he say?” inquired a girl impudently. Then, seeing her friend turn away' with a smile upon her face, she went on: “I knew you wouldn't tell. Nobody ever will. You will never get a girl to tell just how her sweetheart proposed to her. She'll tell you anything else you like to ask her. If they’ve had a quarrel she may often in her indignation let out the horrid things he said to her, but she’ll keep as silent as the grave about the way he proposed. When I asked my sister she said that when 1 get older I shall realize that a proposal from the man you promise to marry is one of the things no woman could ever tell another. And I’ve found this quite true, although no one minds telling me what ‘he’ said when they didn't want him to propose at all.”

A DIFFICULT PENANCE. Pilgrims to the Skellig Roeki RisXc Their Lives. Ten miles off the coast of Kerry, in the west of Ireland, lie the Skellig rocks, one of which has been for years the scene of a difficult penance. A zigsag path leads up some 700 feet to a lighthouse, but 700 feet more must be climbed before the summit is reached, where stand the ruins of St. Finian’s monastery and a cross of St. Michael. Here on the anniversary of St. Michael devotees risk their lives in performing their devotions. First they have to squeeze themselves through the Needle's Eye. a tunnel in the rock thirten feet long, the passing up which is like the ascent of a chimney. Then they creep on all fours up the Stone of Pain, on whose smooth surface one false step is fatal: then, getting astride the Spindle, a rock 1.500 feet above the Atlantic and projecting some ten feet, .each pilgrim must "ride a cock horse to St. Michael's cross.” say a Pater noster and shuttle back as best be can. —Pearson’s Weekly. Hams. A mother sent her twelve-year-old daughter to the pork butcher with money to purchase a ham. “Tell Mr. — that I want a ham exactly like the last two I bought,” she said, and when the little lady arrived at the shop she delivered the message thus: “Mr. , mamma says she wants another bam off the same hog as the last two she bought.” How many of us wish that when we accidently pick up a first rate bam the same hog could keep on producing its like for time and eternity! As the butcher says: “Hams run peculiarly. We may have ’em all fine for a month or two; then they suddenly get tough and dry and hard and altogether disappointing.” — New York Press. Antiquity of Brewing. The ancient Egyptians under<D*>d »nd practised the art of brewing several centuries before the Christian era, as did also the ancient Greeks. Spaniards and Britons made a fermented drink from wheat, which was used in Spain under the name ceria, and also In Gaul. Tacitus tells us that in bis day. about 100 A. D.. beer was the common beverage and that the Germans understood how to convert barley into malt. Six hundred years later Charlemagne gave orders that the best brewers should always accompany bis court. A Continnous Ronnd. “Blivens seems very proud of the fact that he has a bank account." "Yes: it has developed him into a financier of the continuous type.” “How is that?" “He e' e- ks I is mon® out just for the p e.isnre of putting It back agiiP.” —Cle-ehmd Plain Healer ir a man'.- fortune does not fit film.
