The country about Kisanlik, Burgaria, is the main source for the oil of rose. This is the perfume of the rose in concentrated and permanent form. This oil, or at- tar of roses, is obtained by distilling rose petals with water. A drachm of attar represents over 3000 times its weight of the delicate rose petals, The old centifolia and damascena roses remain the richest in fragrance. These are the most desirable for mi- lady’s potpourri; also for the manu- facture of sachet powder and rose- water. Delicious as is the perfume of the rose, upon some it acts as a poison. producing headache, fainting and even hysteria. The leaves of the centifolia, or “cab- bage rose,” as it is commonly called, are laxative, and are made into a syrup. 0f the common wild rose, the pulp is mildly astringent. Red rose leaves are mild astringents and tonics. In Arabia, physicians regard a con- serve of red roses a highly valuable remedy in phthisis. glowing admiration, the enthusiasm, the passion, but he must also have the tenderness, the thoughtfulness, the reverence, the kindness of love. The crest of the rose cavalier bears the in- signia "semvpe-r fidelis.” Through storm and calm he. is loyal. He pays homage on bright summer morns, when all earth is a glorious dream. But his ardor does nOt wane when bloom is gone, leaves are sere and winds are chill. Our heart’s love is lovely everâ€"in any grab, in every phase. Likewise, to the successful rose-grower, he who has roses in his heartâ€"the rose-bush is ever a thing of beauty. The artist’s secret of success is this. He loves his art. “Semper fidelis" again. The successful rose- grower loves his roses. Be cultivates them as fondly as does the aritst his art. “Semper fidelis” and the roses of the earth are yours! IL is a mistake that roses are dif- ficult of culture. They are not. Love your roses, be kind to them, and they will reward you with a wealth of. bloom and fragrance. He who would have beautiful roses in his garden must have beautiful roses in his heart. He must love them well and be faith- ful. To win, he must wooâ€"through heat and cold. He must have the To-day we have about 4000 different varieties of the rose, a result of scien- tific study and culture. Man has greatly aided nature. It took years to produce the perfect rose. Consider the simple Wild-rose of the fields, with its five petals. Look at the Ameri- can beauty rose! W’hat wealth of petals, fold upon fold, each sprinkled with rarest perfume, note its luxuri- ant foliage, its long, graceful stem. ”What a stride from the field rose to this rose of civilization! And yet the field rose has its peâ€" culiar charm. There are moments when the heart yearns for the simpler type of rose. That dainty pink rose of the fields, with, just five petals and no more. Dripping with dew, it sways in the breeze. How it appeals to heart’s hidden emOtions! The dainty wildling of nature smiles and nods and beckons. "Come, pluck me. I bring love and joy, and peace and rest.” What a sermon in the rose. Every petal is a tongue to proclaim the pro- gress of science and civilizationâ€"or to feed the heart on tender sentiment and sweet memories. Twelve spiders are placed above a reel to which their threads are attach- ed and the reel is gently revolved while they spin the thread. They are allow- ed to spin some forty or. fifty yards before stopping to rest. The united strand is washed to relieve it of its ‘sticky envelope and then united with others, until a tiny cord, light but very strong, is the result. Satire is a sort of glass wherein he- hblders do generally discover every- body’s face but their own, which is the chief reason for that kind reception it meets with in the world.â€"Swift.- The peculiar: industry is carnea on at Chalaxsâ€"Meudon, near Paris. SPIDERS SET TO WORK. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. Green Cucumber picklesâ€"Wash and wipe 50 freshly picked tiny cucumbers, and lay in a jar. Make a cold brine strung enough to hear an egg; pour it over them. and stand aside for 24 hours. W’ipe each pickle as taken from the brine and; pack in a clean jar. Measure enough strong vingar to cover them, and put it in the preserving kettle with half a cupful of sliced horserad- ish root, one tablespoonful sliced gin- ger root, one small slice of onion, one heaping tablespoonful of broken cin- namon, and half a dozen each of whole cloves and peppercorns. Set over the Sliced Plumsâ€"Select red or blue plums that are a. little under-ripe; wipe, weigh, prick each twice with a silver fork, and lay in a. jar, shaking often to fill the interstices.

When Mamie breaks your prettiest glass dish, St0p to investigate whether it was by accident, carelessness or in wanton mischief; punish if punish- ment is deserved, but do not harp up- on the gravity of the offence day in and day out until the offender grows callous. When Johnnie ruins his overcoat coasting, and Susie tears her school dress climbing fences, remember that children have a right to be children, and do not mourn aloud over the mis- hap every time the coat or dress is worn thereafter. Let the child feel that the carelessness is culpable, but do n0t act as though the sin were past pardon. To wear the mended garment if the money be not forthcoming wherewith to purchase anather, or to give up something to compensate if a new coat or gown is purchased, may be a salutary lesson in the duty of carefulness; but when that is done let the matter rest as something which no regret can remedy. Nasturtium or horseradish leaves will also prevent mould. Pickles of all kinds should be kept in a cold, dry place, and sour ones inspected often lest a. white scum form on the top. “'HOLESOME PICKLES. Pickles made of sound fruit or vege- tables, pure cider vinegar and spices, and in porcelain-lined agate, or earth- enware vessels, are not more injurious than sweets. Taboo l'rass kettles, alum and turmeric, and use only a moderate allowance of harmless spices. Properly-made cucumber pickles will be tender and crisp without the dele- terious action of alum, and a bed and t01_i-covering of horseradish, cabbage or grape leaves will impart a fresh green color. If Ned is lame, do not grieve tohim over his infirmity; teach him rather that brain is more powerful than mus- cle. and that no one who has the use of his ’hands need ever be helpless. Show him how much of the world’s 'oeSt work has been done by cripples, and beach him to understand how mind can triumph over matter. When your husband has made a mistake in busi- ness and times are hard do not wail over the mistake. Gather up the fragments and stand by to [help him. If you can do nouhing else you .can at least pretend that you do not mind; can' show him that you believe in him still, and prophesy that better times are coming. NOthing so chills a man’s courage as the damp spray of a wife’s tears. If a child has an unfortunate bodily defect, not to say deformity, do not magnify the misfortune until its shadow clouds all the sunshine of the young life. ”Mamie, poor child, can never be pretty with that awful birth- mark, but is beauty the one good thing which a woman can possess in this life ‘3 Besides, will all your worry ever efface the mark? On the contrary, will it serve any purpose Other than 'to render her morbidly sensitive on the subject, and so cover her, cros with prickles? } Women whose lives run in such deep grooées and continuous hnes that any effort to get them out threatens destrucnion to everything concerned. W'omen whose washing must be done on Monday ; ironing, Tuesday; baking, Wednesday, it the skies fall; whose floors are spotless and whose tinware is a marvel; whose weekly mending is never a day behind; who would not let one of her children go with a button off his; shoe for a thousand dollars, nor take time to tell them a story [or two thousand; who follow their husbands about with a mop lest they leave a track on the entry floor; whose home their children’s playmates shun, and whose own children find the barn far pleasanter than the house, yet who would be greatly aggrieved if they were n01; called model math-ers. \Vorrying is an essentially feminine failing, and there are women who do it in spite of themselves. If you. chance to be such. a one, fret all to yourself in the privacy of your chamber, provid- ed you have any privacy. But. under any circumstance do not empty your basin of cold waterâ€"or worse, your bottle of tearsâ€"over the sitting- room fire. HOUSEHOLD LLAC‘HLNES. i, October 26, 1899.

If no better way is provided he should be carried into another room occasionally, and the windows opened until the air is purified. When the room is then sufficiently warm he may return. A little child should not be taken through draughty passageways or kept in open doorways without having a woolen shawl thrown over him.

The little thin white dresses whcih the baby has worn through the sum- mer are not warm enough for winter wear unless his underclmhing is heavi- er, but he ought to be dressed in flan- nel throughout and subjected to no sudden changes. His hands and feet should be especially well taken care of. How very often do we find on taking the little one up that his hands and feet are almost numb. .That may of- ten result in serious colds. The floor may be the most convenient place for the baby’s playground, but there is al- ways a strong draught there which any one may feel by only placing the hand there for an instant. And be- sides, the atmosphere near the floor is that higher up, so the baby, it al- lowed to roll on the floor, is constantly always several degrees colder than in a cooler atmosphere than the grown people. The proper temperature is about seventy degrees. It is not well to have it so cold that one shivers or so hot that a puff of cold air will make one sick. use, and should be tieâ€"d. in little cloth bags and boiled in the vinegar.
