It London Telegraph, Tracing the origin of tho rosary back to times and places far remote. Father Thurston, who reid a recent paper before the members of the Applied Art Section of the Society of Arts, pointed out that It would bo a great mistake to suppose NEW ITALIAN CHURCH AT FOURTH' "WHICH "WILL BE DEDICATED TOD that tho use of beads for counting pray ers was peculiar to the Catholic church, or was of comparatively modern date. To determine at whit time the name rosary (rosenkranz) was introduced is oxtremely difficult. Garlands of roses, implying a ,reforenco to the term rosary, were a con spicuous feature of pictures and tiblets of tho 15th century, but before this no clear examples aro forthcoming. At that epoch it was common for both men and women in ordinary life to wear garlands" of flowers, and to place them as a mark of respect upon the lieads of persons and statues. Father Thurston is strongly in clined to believe that its application to the particular dev6tlon now under discus sion was mainly duo to the popularity of a certain story of a- garland, which can bo traced very much earlier than the word itself in almost .every part of the Christian world. The name must havo come from the story, and the story was not evolved out of an already" pre-exlst-lne name. The legend in question Is briefly this: A youth was accustomed to make a. wreath of roses or other flowers every day, and. to place It upon the head of Our Lady's statue. Ho became a monk, and In the cloister his occupations no longor permit ted him to observo this pious practice. Being much distressed, he asked counsel of an aged priest, who advised him to say his Aves every evening, which would bo accepted by Our Lady In lieu of the garland. This the yoiing man faithfully observed, until one day, while on a Jour ney, he had to pass through a lonely wood, where robbers were, lying in wait. Quite unsuspicious of their presence, he suddenly remembered that his Aves were not yet said, and forthwith stopped to say them. Then, to their surprise, the rob bers saw & most clorlous lidv stand be- t fore him, and take one after Another from the lips of the kneeling monk 50 beautiful roses, which she wove into a garland and placed upon her head. The robbers, conscience-stricken at the -vision, were all converted to n. better life, and themselves soon after entered the monastery- No Business ef Mine.

The recent communication appearing In The Oregonlan defaming the good citizens of Charleston, S.

The article In question was not written by a staff writer, and I am surprised that a person who claims to have the good of Oregon at heart would offer such for pub lication. Lest Oregonlans and Charlesto- AND MILL AT nlans be deceived, it is best to state that tho author of the article which has given offense to Charleston and greatly Injured Oregon was not In any manner connected with tho Oregon exhibit at Charleston, but was there as a private Individual, representing a private Interest, whose headquarters are in another state. The article as republished In the News- nnd Courier. Charleston. S.

The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta lizing almost beyond endurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red skin keep one thoroughly uncomfortable and miserable night and day. Eczema, Tetter, and diseases oi thistype are caused by acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm into life and renewed activity.

It was not sent for publication, but after careful perusal it is believed, by me that a portion of It at least should appear In public print: Why, on! why did The Portland Oregonlan. that was represented here by Mrs. Weatherred, give place to such a false, malicious. Insulting article as the clipping I enclose, which was republished in yesterday's paper? Aa you may imagine, it has by do means been favorably received here. No one seems to know who this man is. but we can easily Imagine that he is some disgruntled somebody who may have been inadvertently overlooked In the gayeties, and did. not have sense enoush to know that at such a time no ono would be purposely slighted. JJor does ho have pride enough to conceal his chagrin nor even manhood enough to tell the truth about a place and Its people, although he might not like It or them. It seems a pity about this letter, because we liked the Oregonlans so well, and were so proud of their seeming liking for us. We did all within our power to aid them and every one connected with the Oregon exhibit. They were so good, so kind so accommodating, that we dearly loved them. Also all visitors from. Oregon appeared to be proud of Oregon's representatives here, and wo enjoyed meeting every one of them. Your Congressman, Hon. Mr. Tongue, paid a compliment to our clean streets. The article above mentioned is the only one among thou sands that have been received here that has In sulted us In any manher, and whose author has gone out of his way to make maliciously false statements. You honored us- by bringing tho members of tho National Editorial Associa tion to our city, nnd they all havo had such kind words for us, and oh! we do Mgret that this thrust should have come from Oregon, whose people and whose fair many of us are counting upon seeing In 1007. That vllo article about our cisterns Is so uncalled for. Our cisterns are on top of ground and cemented, and there aro no cellars In Charleston, owing to the fact that the tides will not permit otherwise. AH know that tho good housewife, as ours are, would not let tho water Into the cisterns until the first rains had washed the sheds and gutters clean. The author of that article is evidently endeavoring to stir up trouble somewhere and delights In keeping up animosity between the North and South, or he may be crazy. If the latter, he la to be pitied. . Personally the publication of this- at tack on Charleston and her fair is to be regretted. It was my privilege to have visited Charleston In former years, and to have made two visits during the prog ress of her exposition, and I did not find things as represented In the communica tion complained of. Neither do I find in the communications published by several thousand newspaper people who visited the exposition anything that approaches the description given by the author of the article "As An Orcgonian Sees Us." A staff writer in The Oregonlan In let ter No. 6 did not find things as that other party claimed he-did. Letter No. 6 had this to say: Even old Charleston did something In the way of perking up for company. It was a big Job. Tne city Is something over Vno centuries old, and the marks of age are everywhere upon It. It Is not easy to make a city whose streets are narrow, almost after the medieval patterns, Whose buildings are faf 'every era and representative of half a dozen National types of architecture, and three-fifths of whose J and blisters like- liquid fire. To the skin disease sufferer, summer time brings no joy, but is a season of unrest, sleep less nights and incessant pain, resulting in shattered nerves, physical exhaustion and gen eral derangement of all the vital forces. Scratching is a pleasant recreation to one tor mented and almost distracted by an aggravating itching skin eruption. Some find tempor ary relief in bathing and 'the application of lotions and salves. A few hours respite is gained by such methods, but nothing applied externally can alter the condition of the blood - becomes soft and smooth again. Skin diseases appear in various forms sometimes in pustules or blisters, sores, rashes, or red, disfiguring bumps and pimples but all are caused b- a bad condi tion of the blood, and for which S, S. S. is a safe and effectual cure. No bad effects can come from its use because it contains 110 'Arsenic. Potash nr nthpr "ha-mifnl population 13 black, look smart after modern fashion. The Charlestonlans had the good sensa not to try It. but they did clean up their town, reconstruct Its sewers, mend the breaches la the old pavements, flt bathtubs In the old ho tels, and generally "buck up" for the sake of appearances. The old town, which had a bad name for sloth and carelessness in connection with .Us backyards. Is now very presentable and comfortable. Staff letter No. S says regarding Fort Sumter: "Wisely I think, the Government has not attempted to dignify these places which speak of a family fight, happily past. It is better, unquestionably, that thoy be allowed to fall Into common-place usages and conditions than that they should be preserved in a style which might suggest pride In memories which would best be subordinated, if they cannot be put aside. The reception given the President and party. Congressman Tongue and party, the International League of Press Clubs, the National Editorial Association, the Oregon delegation and other Incidents with which I am personally familiar, and my own acquaintance with tho Charles tonlans, which dates back 16 years, causes me to unhesitatingly brand as false tho statement made that "To a native Charlcstonlan, the word Yankee means all that la mean, low, dishonest and despica ble, and It Is applied to all strangers as well as to everything not from the Imme diate vicinity." The statement that "the exposition has proven a deplorable failure financially as well as every other way" has been spoken, of at length In your columns, but those In a position to know brand that, too, a3 false. I am satisfied that no one regrets tho publication of that article more than the Oregon delegation at tho Charleston Ex position, who, through the columns of the press, have acknowledged themselves the recipients- of many courtesies at their bands. ALBERT TOZIER. GREAT SHIP CANALS. Suez Is the Oldest and 3Iost Impor tant Emperor "WilHnm Next. Washington Stir. The oldest and most Important ship canal is that of Suez, begun In 1S56 and completed in 1S59. It Is 100 miles in length and cost $93,000,000. It was at first 54 me ters wide on top, 22 meters at tho bottom and 8 meters deep, but in 1SS2 $10,000,000 was expended to Increase these dimen sion to 77, 34 and nearly 9 meters, re spectively, and it Is now proposed to In crease the depth to 10 meters. Ships are allowed to pass through it at a speed of 5.35 miles per hour, so that Its wholo length can be traversed In 18 hours. Night navigation is made posslbleby elec tric lights, which were introduced in 1SS7. The tolls are $2 per ton. In 1S70. 4S6 ships passed through the cantl; In 1SS0, 2025; In 1900, 3441.

Its cost was $40,000,000. Its length is 9S kilometers, its depth is 9 meters and It Is traversed In less than 12 hours. Its receipts do not cover expenses. Still another canal connecting the North Sea with the Baltic was opened in 1900. Its length Is 65 kilometers. Its depth only 3 meters, and its cost was $6,000,000. The Manchester ship canal Is S7 kilometers long and nearly 8 meters deep and cost $55,000,000. Amsterdam is connected with the ssa by a ship canal opened in 1S45, and Rot terdam Is likewise connected with deep water by a canal opened in 1S66. St. Pe tersburg also has a ship canal 25 kilo meters long. The Gulf of Corinth Canal was finished In li93. It Is only 6.3 kilo meters In length and cost about $5,000,000. Konlgsberg has a ship canal completed In 1S30, 33 kilometers long, that cost about $2,000,000. There are two great ship canals In America, connecting Lake Huron ani Superior, ind another, the Welland, con necting Erie and Ontario. The canals, at Ste. Marie carried 24,600.000 tons in 1201. more than twlcjo that ot Suez for the same year. Acne, Tetter czema um soriasis as THE ITCHIMG WAS TERRIBLE. Escontwdo, San Diego Co , Cal., Oct 1900. Dear Sirs My body broke out with t rash or eruption. The itching, especially al night, was simply terrible; it would almosi disappear at times, only to return worse tbar ever. I had tried many preparations with out benefit, andhearinijotS. S. S. determin ed to give it a fair trial; a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every blemish and pimple from my body. L. MaRNOt BAD FORM OF TETTER. For three years I had Tetter on my hands, which caused them to swell to twice theii natural size Part of the time the disease was in the form of running sores, very pain ful, and causing ir.e much (liscoinfort. Foui doctors said the Tetter had progressed toe far to be cured, and they could do nothing for me. I took only three bottles of S. S. S. and was completely cured. This was fifteen years ago, and I have never since seen anj sign of my old trouble. Mrs. L. B. Jackson. 837 St. Paul St., Kansas City, Kan.
