Perfume and Health

IN Italian professor in his inycs-
legations relating to the effects OF
vegetable perfume on the atmos-
phcre, by converting Its oxygen IN
to ozone and thus increasing It's
o~Xydlzlng Influence, saws:
The essences found to develop
the largest quantity Of ozone are
those Of cherry, laurel, clover.
lavender, mint, juniper, lemon.
fennel and bergamont: those that
give 1t III smaller quantity are
anlse, nutmeg and thyme. The
flowers Of the narcissus, hvacinth.
mlgnonette, heliotrope and lily Of
the valley develop ozone IN closed
vessels. Flowers destitute of per
fume do not develop 1t, and those
which have but slight perfume de-
yolOp 1T IN small quantities. Rea-
sonlng from these facts the profess
sor recommends the cultivation Of
flowers IN marshy districts, and in
all places infested with animal
carnations, on account of the
powerful oNydizing influence of
ozone. For this reason, he says,
the inhabitants of such regions
should surround their houses with
beds Of the most odorous flowers

Don't Worry.

Men and women given over to
worry will worry about the strang-
est, the most out -of-the-way, the
most unheard-of, the most laugha-
BILE things it is possible to conceive.
1t matters very little what are
the outward circumstances-thc
will can find something in them to
remind it of its own limitation of
power, and to provoke It's conse-
quent resentment. 1t is curious to
see how people of this habit will
take anything that first comes to
hand-good, bad or Indifferent
and instantly begin to find IN it
something to grow anxious and I'M
patient over, and to pull about first
on this side and then on that, until
an exciting consciousness Of theic
own inability to do anything in the
matter, and an irritating feeling, IN
consequence of it, get the upper
hand of their good sense. What we
have to say upon this subject, by
way of practical suggestion, is just
what everybody says, and says to
little or no purpose. Worry doesn't
do you the least good. 1t relieves
from nothing, it helps nothing, it
qualities for no work, ltconduces to
no desirable result. 1t very gratui-
tously puts an amount of wear and
tear upon the nervous system with

in return any compensatory salts

pleasure and yet lei almost IN

merit of being, III every sense of the

day, while he was being taken by a

PERFUMED STARCH.-Starch,
made perfectly dry, and slfted
through the finest sieve, may be
used, or a few drops of any desired
perfume may be mixed with 1t.
Those who have lavender or other
aromatic flowers can fold them IN
thin paper, and place these, with
LAYERS of starch. in IA box, renewing
the flowers every few days, until the
starch has absorbed sufficient per-
fume. The starch will take UP a
little moisture from the flowers,
and it is best to let it be exposed to
the sun until quite dry, and then If
at all lumpy, be sifted again.
