of prestige enjoyed by Salency. *There the
rosieres, independently of the honor that
always fell to their lot, were certain, in the
e0111$0 of the " sue.ceeding tiselve months,
however Insinide their condition might be,to
find a husband. And it is a fact well worthy
of note that when the festivities were reviv-
ed in the eighteenth century the inhabit-
ants of Salency were good people, honest,
sober, and. industrious. They mustered
about 500 and could boast 150 homes. They
did not work with pow, but all miltivated
their owe small piece of and. and they were
happy. •.Never was there a case of erime
committed at Salency by an inhabitant of
the village, not even of any evil eonduct,
still less any weakness on the part, of the
gentle sex, while the peasants of the neigh-
boring villages were as brutal and yicious
as atlywhere in the country.

Nanterre is a village situated about seven
miles west of Paris at the foot of Mount
Valerien and is equally celebrated for its
slaughter houses, its prieon, ito cakes and
its rosieres. It e au old village dating
from the time of the Druids and. is said to
be the birth pla.ee cif Saint Genevieve.
The well from Nvbich Genevieve's parents
drew water is to be seen at the present day
and visitors walk to its brink and look
dowp into it because the saint is said to have
restored her mother's sight by bething her
eyes in ita waters.

Making Elaests Comfortable.
La Belle Rosiere.
In France with the month of June comes
the season of rosieres, or as IMMO per -
SOPS persist in ceiling le he 'business of
the rosieres." What, is o rosiere? rosi-
ere is ayoung girl on whom a wreath ef
moi
o s bestowed annually et a eertain
epoeh, for what the French call "Sagesse."
Segesse 1 Dear me, another Gellle term to
define, and no easy one either. If I am not
mistaken, 1 think that the Anglo-Saxon
words "moral excellence" will convey, in
this particular ease, the signification of sa-
gesse. The custom of crowning a rosiere
is observed nowadays but in a few villages.
So molent and chavining a practice com-
mands respect ; let us therefore revive a
tle chivalry for the oceasion and allude to
the ceremony as n swoon. After all it is
difficult to believe that the graceful corn'
petitors can possibly look upon the affair in
at le3aott.11 er light than that of a. »friendly con -
The origin of the rosieres is strangely
enough, attributed to St. Medarcl, Bishop
of Nettie) and seigneur of Salency. who
lived in the fifth century. The first rosiere
was crowned, it appease towerd the year
525, and on that memorable °onion the
worthy Bishop awarded the prize to his
own sister, whoun history tells ue, public
opinion also designated as the mot
virtuous girl in all the country round.
Ali 1 those days of yore. The modern
0)nm:cipher must indeed regret not
having been born many, many hundred years
sooner, at en epoch when ho could have eon-
tentpleted a bishop and all the members of
his dioese in eomplete unison. All 1 those
happy days: of yore. The good Bishop of
Noyon in question handed over the sum of
twenty-five 'French pounds and a wreath of
roses to his awn sister, who, in the estima.
tion of all, was the girl residing in the do.
main of the Lord of Saleney who enjoyed
the highest reputation of moral excellence.
The edict of the Bishop tiot forth that not
only was it necessary that the conduotof the
rosiere should be blemeleseand her morality
and. integrity unimpeachable, but also, and
this was by far the most exacting portions:
of the decree, that the character of her
father, mother, brothers, sisters, and other
parents as far back as the fourth generation,
ahould be certified irreproachable ! Soh a
condition was harsh filth° extreme. It was
unjust, decidedly, for it poor girl, the issue
of vicious or guilty parents, haa certainly
more than ordinary merit in living a life of
virtue with such antecedents.
Then the Bishop of Noyon died, the new
lord of S'eleney adopted it new system and
granted unto himself the right to choose the
rosierefrom among three girls eelected by
the village and presented to him. The 8th
day of June was the day adoptedfor crown-
ing the rosiere, that day being the Saint
Mader& The lucky more was robed in
white garments; her hair was allowed to
flow in large curls over her shoulders, and
accompanied by twelve young girls and as
many swains she walked through the village
to the chateau of Salency, stecompanied by
whatever inueic the couutry folks were in
positionto provide Inc the occasion. The
scene for the following act was laid in church,
where a special hymn was sung for the glory
of the departed Saint aleilard and alto it te
doinn Later on in the day a frugal meal
was partaken of by all those who had parti-
cipated in the ceremonies.
The rosieres had been forsaken for a long
time when, toward the close of the eigh-
teenth century the custom was revived.
suddenly and rendered more brilliant than
it ever had been before. At that epoch, it
should be borne in mind, economists and
philospbers had undertaken is sort of rappel
a la patine ; rustication was to be the order
of the day. The drams sounded the alarm,
the heralds proclaimed the fashion, and as
usual, the public, ever eager for se change,
responded to the call. Agricaltere, the green
fielde and the meadows gay, village fetes
and to' noticed society" came into favor once
more. It was bon ton fon the nobility to
play the country squire. A few wealthy
lords, fed -seemingly on Rousseau diet, re-
solved to re-establish on their estates old
customs and cast-off traditions. The most
antique sotiveuirs were brought to light
agam, and Preron, notably in his " Annee
Litteraire," gives it resume of the principal
historical features of the feasts, after some
old documents he discovered at Noyon.

Cana Small Boy Lift Six Tons ?
Mr. Gosse'in "World of Wonders," re-
lates the followhig remeritable story of the
strength of it beetle, and i
gives some ngeni-
ous comparisons . "The three horned
beetle has just astonished inc by proving its
wonderful bodily strength. When it was
brought to ins, havinsit no bOx immediately
at hand, I was at a loss where to put him
uutil I could find time to kill and preserve
him. At lest it happy thought struck me.
There was a quart bottle of milk sitting on
the table, the bottom of the bottle having
a hollow in it and large enough to allow my
prize to stand ereet in it. 1 soon put him
in his glass prison and tamed to my work.
"Presently, to my greet surprise, the
bottle began to move slowly, and then
gradually settled down to it smooth gliding
motion across the table. I instantly divin-
ed the cense. It was being propelled by
the muscular power of the imprisoned in-
sect beneath. The weight of the bottle and
its contents could not have been less than
three and a half pounds, while the weighe
of the beetle could not have been any way
near a half an ounce.
"Thus 1 was welching the strange sight
of a living creature move 112 Urines its own

can convey will be obtained of this feat by
supposing a lad of twelve years to be impris-
oned under the great hell of St. Paul's ca-
thedral, Loudon. That bell weighs six teas.
If a boy of the age mentioned could push
within and cause the bell to glide along the
pavement his strength would not be equal
in proportion to that of the beetle under the

bows span the sky. If we turn to our
Bible ,we shall always find just the word
the circumstances of the hour coll for. We
have passed through a week of sad and
grave experiences: The sad battle of the
toilers in Pennsylvania hat marked the
darkest page in the calendar of the year.
Homes and hearts are desolate to -day on
which the sun shone fair but a week or
two ago. Blood has been shed, life has
been sacrificed, graves have been dug
What word has the Bible for us to -day .
This One word, "Beware of covetousness."
A young man came to Christ with a perplex-
ing legal difficulty; he wanted Christ to settle
it matter between his brother and himself.
But the Greableaolier didanuch better than
that He laid down it prieciple that would
govern all such cases, and if uheyed would
spare such scenes as this week has witness-
ed to the very, end of time. "Beware of
covetousness If the evil spirit of covet-
ousness were driven mit of the hearts of
men, there would be no men in this land
boasting of thirty, forty, and fifty minions
of dollars ; nor would there be the abject
poverty that too much abounds, nor would
there be the hard, rough way of walking,
the ceaseless, catered grind of labor, that
makes life a bertlee, and leads men to ask,
sometimes wholly in agony and half in
despair, if life is indeed worth living.
Beware of covetousness ! It shuts up the
heart and seals all the springs of tender
human love, and makes man the robber and
oppressor of his brother man. Beware of
covetousness 1 It inflames the passions of
those who, stung by a sense of wrong, take
the law into their own hands and scatter
wreck and" ruin far and wide. Beware of
covetousness 1 It may bring the bloody
reign of civil strife if not eheeked in time
With the sad story of the Homestead and
Idaho strife ringing in our ears, we may
well unite with all our hearts in the earnest
prayer; "Give peace in our time, 0 Lord."
