Davis & Turner Sanatorium. =fi= [Original.] Out In the golden state of Colorado a prospector sat alone in the shade of a tree reading a letter. His clothes wet's in tatters, bis shoes were minus the principal pnrt of their soles, and of his felt lint there was little left but the brim. He had thrown off his hav ersack and laid it on the grass beside him. It contained no food, for be laid eaten the iust morsel that morning for breakfast. Hut it did contain all the prospector possessed in the world ten pounds of gunpowder and a fnngnii.v- ing glass. The former lie kept to turn up ground, wherein lie hoped gold might he hidden, the latter to examine speci mens of ore. This was the letter he read: Lieur Ted—I hsve had no word from you since your letter h month ago, which was full of despondency. 1 hope you have done nothing rush. You soy Colorado Is full of sink holes eomiueinorntihg blighted hopes. You must remember that there ale a few hobs commemorative of tin niiliua- tlon of slid dreams. There Is an old say ing. "When you have put your hand to the plow never look hack." 1 am sorry that you fill const rained to mult i tain a line of work with so great an element of luck In It; but. since yon have, stick to what von have undertaken Don't Ut- spalt till you Itati hunted all met the statt.

I may net Itave bun wise In doing so. but I have "put in,\ hand to the plow, and I'll never look back." Your loving lA’OY. The .voting 1111111 folded the letter and put it ill bis pocket. “The mistake was in the beginning," he mused. "The old uifiii wouldn't cousent to an en gagement on m.v going to work in the regular way because, he Haiti. I would j slave all my life, and if success euine i it would not t'oiiie for many years.

Two Legend* of the Orlirln »f Thla Beautiful Flower. There are two traditions as to the origin of the roue. According to Sir John Mandevllle, a Jewish maid of began to kick dirt and dry leaves into I Bethlehem (whom Southey names ZU- tlie bole, not stopping till he had eov | hill) was beloved by a brutish sot crcd it. After this he went to the tree) named Hummel. 1 lie maiden rejected , , 11 1 1 I this suitor unit he. ill l'cvullge, HC- <vii under which he bad lain and carved 1 ibis suitor, and he, in revt cused Zillnli of offenses for which she his iiiilials, looking carefully about him and taking note of Ills surroundings, llis next move was to wrap his nugget in bis rugged coat, and. having taken cure of everything, lie set off to a town tey miles distant, whence In- sent the good news to l.ney. The girl laid the matter before her father, who had some means, and lie took the first train for Colorado. Together he and the prospector bought the properly on which the discovery had been made, then went east and organised a com puny to work it. Such is the origin of the famous "Hot- tom Luck" mine, one of (lie richest In the Li tv I creek district. ASA BllOWN DAI.I.KTT. rutliiu From I-'Ins mid !leni|i. In a h'rencli scientific review It i stated that a Hussion engineer bus dis- ' of roses covered a process by which the filter of ttax and hemp can be transformed into a substance similar to rotten by being treated with the residuum of naphtha. This causes the filler to decompose and to acquire the appearance and quali ties of cotton. I bis substance cun then be worked with cotton spinning ma chinery, and the mnnufnetured article lias all tiie qualities of cotton tissues. No preparation of the ttax is necessisi'y. The plant can be used just as it Is pulled out of the ground. was condemned to be burned alive. When brought to the stake the flames refused to hurt Zlllab, lint burned Hummel to a cinder. There she stood lu a garden of roses, for the brands which had been kindled became red roses, and those which hud 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 his Journey to heaven the sweat which fell on the earth from the prophet's forehead produced white roses, and ttiat which fell from the animal lie rode upon, named AI Boruk. produced yellow ones. At the present day the sellers ill 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 a rose." THE MANNA TREE.

In some parts of Sicily trees ; are Hauled especially for these sub i stances which they yield. Just as In some parts of our country the sugar ! maple Is phiuted for its sugar. The ash trees are tapped when about ten years old. A transverse cut Is made about one third of the circumference of the tree, a 11 mil her of these transverse cuts being mfide one above the other. As many as forty five euts are fre quently marie In one large trunk. In some countries where mnnna la collected It Is done by Inserting tubes.
