How To Make otto OF Roses.

At this time of the year. when so
many rOse-leaves fall 10 the ground
and are wasted, every lady can. if she
chooses, manufacture delicious
perfume at Il cost of less than fifty
cents, and i'm a few minutes time.
Take Il two-gallon glass jar and fill
full of clean, freshly picked rose
leaves. Then cork it tight. and take
Il two ounce phial and fit the neck
into the cork of the two-gallon Jar.
Cut some sponge into narrow strips;
soak them III good oil. free from
smell or rancidity: put the strips in
TO the small phial, turn it upside
down, and put the neck into the
bung OF the large jar. Place them
in the sun for four days and the heat
will distill the rose leaves, and the
aroma will ascend and saturate the
oil in the sponge. Put i'm fresh
leaves about four times, and you will
nave small phial OF the finest otto
of roses that can possibly be made
and in quantity sufficient to scent the
clothes and handkerchiefs of family
for year. Pure otto of roses costs
$50 per ounce. Be sure and keep it
well corked, or it will evaporate.-C C.

A Terrible Revision.

Who shall fathom the divine depths
of "a mothers love? Who can tell
the workings of woman's mind?
The other day stately dame on Wa
panseh avenue heard a rumor that
her son, the heir to her wealth, and
whom she loved dearer than life it
self, had gone and proposed to a
beautiful, accomplished, but penni
less girl, on the North side. Sum-
moning the young man to her pres
ence, she obtained the girls address,
and called upon her MY poor son."
she said, has been so misguided as
to propose for your hand in mar
riage, Though why, l am sure l can
not see,) and have come to say that
this match cannot be allowed to be
concluded. Your position is such"
Il beg your pardon, Madame" re-
piled the young girl in "a clear. bell
like voice, but have rejected your
sons offer" Rejected his offer?"
almost gasped the old woman Yes,
madame, replied the beautiful girl;
Il told him that / could not for mo-
ment entertain any offer from him."
80, you did, did you?" rejoined the
old lady, with freezing sarcasm; 20,
you did, you bandy-legged viper
And wasn't my son good enough for
yon, you wall-eyed Jezebel, you?"-

A New Methodist Hymn Book.

The Methodist Episcopal General
Conference has voted TO have "A new

tee of fifteen to be divided into three
sections of five each, to 90 over the
whole work. with instructions not to
make any changes, either by omit
ting old hymns or by admitting new
ones without a three fifths vote.
This matter of hymn books has be-
come a very important interest of lit
erature and finance, as we'll as of re-
ligion, in America, and we have as
rich. scholarly and edifying hymn
books rs any nation in the world, and
are likely to go beyond any other
nation in the number and size of our
collections. The recent cOmplica-
ton of Drs Hitchcock and Schaff is
said by good scholars to be equal to
any in Christendom. and valuable as
a collection of poetry, as well as d
manual of devotion.-N T. ECening
