While, therefore. all the ottar and rose

The beauty Of this valley will lie best

the average annual yield Of Ottar, and
which represents a value Of eO.OCO Ms.

Observation-Disclosures best on sandy, sunny
ridges. The planting of the rose trees
takes place in the spring or autumn,
and the crop is ready in May or the
beginning Of June. As a rule, every
peasant in the ottar.prOducing district
is more or less Of a rose cultivatOr, and
he is generally distiller too, unless he
chooses to sell his roses to the large
producers at the price of 80 to 90 paras
per ounce-1Ed to Id per pound. The
distilling has to go through two pro
cesses; first the rose petals with pure
fountain water are put into the retelt
and distilled; then the liquid thus OBJ
tanned is mixed with the petals which
have undergone the first distillatiOn;
the mixture is distilled in a waterfall
and pure rOse-water is obtained. The
rose water is collected in medium-sized
glass bottles and allowed to cool down.
During the cooling process the ottar
contained in the rose water, being of a
specific gravity, rises to the necks
of the bottles, from where it is taken
out by means of q funnel-shaped spoon.
and poured into small flagons. The
quality of ottar thus obtained depends
entirely upon the soil upon which the
roses we're grown and on the weather
they had experienced. Moderately dry
and sunny weather is generally most
for the quality of the ottar,
which, if obtained in the billy parts of
the district, is much stronger than if
produced in the plain. Good qualities,
however, are seldom sent pure into the
Western markets. Exporters complain
that the perfumers in the West never
pay the price of the best qualities if it
is offered to them unmixed. For this
reason superior qualities are generally
mixed with inferior, while both are
often a~dulterated with the oil of gera-

A Valuable Medicine.

Buchu In various forms has for many wears
been one Of the chief articles ia the Ma,eris
Medica for the treatment Of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary, digestive, and circulatory organs. The
difficulty that was long experienced In obtain
ing q preparation Of this valuable drug that
could always be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led TO the intro
ductiOn Of Helmbold's Extract OF Buchu,
which for the last quarter Of a century has
been extensively used bOth by physicians and
I'm house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like every
other thing, has been extensively initiated. and
those who have use for 1t will do well to see
that they obtain the genuine "Helmbold
Buchu," the only pure and reliable preparation.

Another thing Fanny excels in is the ac-
acknowledgement Of courtesy, which is itself as
great n courtesy as the performance of kind
ness. II she is invited to a lawn party or a

presses her pleasure or her regrets; and she
pays it with promptness and not with tardy

been making weeks visit away from home,

her enjoyment of the visit, ms soon as she is

PREVENTION or CRIME. The society in
New York city for the prevention of crime,
of which DIR. Howard Crosby is the president,
has, in its present phase, only one object
the closing of the tippling shops. The New
York State law of 1857 forbids the sale of
spirituous liquors, to be drunk on the prem
ises, except in regularly licensed hotels. The
society seeks TO enforce this law by obtaining
evidence. indicting the law breakers, and see
ing that their places are closed. 1t employs
legal counsel and an agent TO collect funds for
its work 1t is managed by an executive COM
mittee which is sub-diyided into law com
mittee and a finance committee. 1t seeks to
enroll, as its supporters, all the prominent
names in the community. By the oneness of
its aims il is able to unite in its work all class
es of honest people, however they may differ
on abstract questions, or on theories of tenn
peance. Therefore it urges the formation of
like societies in every town throughout the
State, that by an overwhelming opinion thus
expressed in action, the groggery nuisance
may be forever suppressed, and the appalling
pauperism, crime and taxation which are its
consequences may no longer oppress the COM
munity. This is, in our judgment, one of the
most hopeful and sensible movements for the
suppression of intemperanee that has ever
been inaugurated, and we are rejoiced to hear
that it is now in successful operation. Ener-
getic committees of the highest character,
with well-chosen agents, are at work, and
their action is so purely legal and so entirely
free from touching any debatable ground that
it has the almost universal favor of magis-
trates and citizens. Prosecutions have COM
menced and penalties have been imposed by
the courts in all the cases thus far reached

SAFETY IN TRAvEL.-It takes the French TO
get up statistics. One of their learned men
skilled in that line has demonstrated the great
improvement which has taken place in the
safety of travel in modern times. He says
that in the old diligence days a man had one
chance of being killed in 3O0,OOO trips, and
one chance of being injured in 10000. On
the railway between 1885 and 1855 there was
one chance of being killed in 1000, 900 jour
neys, and one chance of being injured in
100000. From 1850 to 1873 one chance of
being killed in making G,OOO,OOO journeys,
and one chance of being injured in 600, 600.
Now the chances Of being killed are as one TO
$1,000 900, and of being injured one to l ,OO0.-
600 Consequently person travelling ten
hours day at the rate of forty miles an hour
would in the first period have had chance of
escaping destruction during 32l years; dur
ing the second period during 1O1i years and
between 1872 and 1875 during 7l3o years.
