There are two traditions as to the origin of the rose. According to Sir John Mandcvllle, a Jewish maid of Bethlehem (whom Southey names Zil- lah) was beloved by a brutish sot named Hammel. The maiden rejected this suitor, and lie, in reviyigo, ac cused Zillah of offenses for which she was condemned to he burned alive. When brought to the stake the Humes refused to hurt Zlllnti, but burned Hnmmel to a cinder. There she stood In a garden of roses, for the brands which had been kindled became red roses, ami those which had not caught fire white ones. These, according to the tradition, were the first roses that bloomed on earth since the loss of paradise. , Then, according to a Mussulman tra dition, the rose is thus accounted for: When Mohammed took Ills journey to heaven the sweat which fell on the earth from the prophet's forehead produced white roses, and that which fell from the animal he rode upon, named A1 Borak, produced yellow ones. At the present day the sellers of roses in eastern towns cry aloud in the streets, “The rose was a thorn, and the sweat of the prophet Moham med dropping upon it formed it into t* rose."

BILIOUSNESS CONSTIPATION CURED BY THEDFORDS BLACK DRAUGHT P'XDW tbe liver ig neglected people suffer with constipation, biliousness, headaches ami fevers. Colds attack ] the lungs and contagious diseases I take bold of the system. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would lie almost unknown. Thedford’s Black-Draught, is so successful in curing such sickness I because it is without a rival as a | liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may he taken by a mere child with out possible harm. The healthful action on the liver I cures, biliousness. It has an in-1 vigornting effect, on the kidneys. Because tlie liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with tho waste from the bowels get, back into the blood and virulent contagion results. T'inely treatment with Thed ford’s Bbek-Drnught removes tlie dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall tho inroads of Bright’s disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure.
