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-

few. The commonplace goes to the maii.t.

consequently 1 partake of your condition.
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

The .voting 1111111 folded the letter and

BIRTH OF THE ROSE.
Two Legend* of the Orlirln »f Thla

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-

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.

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

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."

Few know that manna Is a specie*
of gain which exudes from the ash.
Thu true manna ash Is the FraxInns
ornus. It Is a beautiful tree and hm
much handsomer flowers than any oth
er ash. 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.
Just ns Is the case of collecting the
maple sugar, but where these cut# are
made the gnui- runs down the trunk
