Acres of Perfume,

Says the Boston Cuhirator: Some idea of
the magnitude of the business of raising
sweet-scente,l flowers for their perfume
alone may be gathered from the fact that
Europe and British India alone consume
about 80, 900 gallons of handkerchief per-
fume yearly; that the English revenue from
French eau de cologne of itself is S4O,0 900
annually, and the total revenue of England
from other imported perfumes is estimated
at 5000, 900 each wear. There is one great
perfume diStillery at Cannes, in France,
which uses yearly 100, 900 pounds Of acacia
flowers, ITO, 900 pounds of rare flower leaves,
81 900 pounds of Jasmine blossoms, and 90
600 pounds of tuberoSe blossoms, with an
immense quantity of other material used
for Derfume Victoria. in New South Wales
is a noted place for the production OF per-
fume- yielding plants, because such plants
as the miSnOnette, sweet Veroena, jasmine
rose lavender, acacia, heliotrope, rosemary,
wall flower, laurel, orange, and the sweet
scented geraniumS are said to grow there In
greater perfection than in any other part of
the world. South Australia, it is believed,
would also be a good place for the growing
| of these perfume-producing plants, though
| they are not yet cultivated there to much
| extent The value of perfumes to countries
| adapted to their production may be gath
cred from the following estimate of their
growth and value per acre, as gwen IN the
| London (England) journal Of Horticulture:
An acre of jasmine plants, $4,000 in num-
| Der, will produce 5000 pounds of flowers,
| valued at 81 go; an acre of rose trees, 10,
900 in number, will yield 1000 pounds of
| flowers, worth 1878; 100 orange trees, grow
| ing on an acre, will yield, at ten years of
age, 1000 pounds of flowers, valued at $3.50;
| an acre of violets, producing 5000 pounds
| of flowers, worth $500; an acre of cassia
trees of about 800 will, at three years of age,
yield 900 pounds Of flowers, worth S45O; an
acre of geranium plants will yield some
| thing over 1000 ounces distilled otto, worth
| 800; an acre of lavender, giving only $500
flowers for distiilation, will yield value OF

Hard VS.. Soft Water

It may be pleasant to those who live in a
region of our country where nothing but
hard water is to be had, to be informed, by
so good authority as DIR. Tidy, the we'll
known chemist, of the results of his obser-
vations on the Use of hard water for culinary
and domestic purposes
G) Hard water is the best dietetically,
because of the lime.
CD 1t makes better tea, although not SC
dark colored, owing to the fact that soft
water diSSolves the bitter eXtractive matters
which color the tea, but ruin the aroma.
(3.) 1t relieves thirst, which soft water
does not.
(4) 1t does not dissolve lead or organic
matter, which soft water does
(5) 1t is generally good colored, soft
water being rs a rule dark colored and I'M
pleasant looking; hence, in places like Man
chester, supplied with soft water, they
always put it Gin hotels) in dark bottles, t.
hide the color. A soft water, however, is :
better detergent, and requires less soap
| For Il residential town water which ha:
over ten degrees of hardness would be best
For manufacturing towns n soft waite
would be the most advisable, for commercial
considerations only.

Some of the Devices of Thieves,

As bright an example of perverted inge-
nuity as can be imagined was developed in
Paris during the Exhibition. Three per-
sons it seems, are necessary to carry out the
trick, the modus Operdndi of which is as fol-
lows: y man, accompanied apparently by
his wife and daughter, enters n shop in
which the articles lie about a little care
leSsly, and the gentleman at once goes up to
the head assistant behind the counter and
makes confidential communication. 81
must warn you" he says, " that my wife is
afflicted with kleptomai;. BE so good as to
watch her, hut do not say anything to her
which might make her think you have any
suspicious" The elder lady is consequently
watched with great care, all the shop being
on the alert. Some article is pilfrred in due
course, the theft noticed, and the gentleman
on going out quietly and promptly pays for
what has been taken. While the shop
keeper is congratulating himself on the hon
esty of the husband, the trio are making off
with valuable booty secured by the young
er lady, whose movements had not been
watched at all. But the best part of the
Stratagem remains to be told. In case the
disappearance of the articles really stolen
should he received Il little too soon, and the
party be followed by the indignant shop
keepers, nothing is easier than to express
regret and surprise that there should have
been other mistakes, and to return the artl-
cles with profuse apologies. by this ruse a
considerable degree of safety is insured even
if the Swindlers are baked of their booty;
the scheme provides for escape as well as for
success.
Thefts by means of any kinds of ruse are
bad enough, but when they are committed
under the cloak of religion they are i'm
meaSurably worse. A Sister of Charity
called on family in Paris to enlist their
sympathes for the poor; she was most pleas
ant and attractive in her manner. Eventu-
ally she induced those present to join with
her in an act of devotion, and the party
knelt side by side in the drawing room
while the Sister offered Il prayer. From the
time of her entering the house, and during
this act she had kept her hands crossed
upon her bosom. When, therefore, in the
middle of the prayer n lady felt somebody S
hand in her pocket, it required some nerve
to seize the sister and accuse her of theft.
This she nevertheless did; and then the
mystery was solved. The crossed arms
We're Of wax, and, being partially hidden
under the sleeves, seemed real, while the
actual hands were at liberty to enable the
lady to pursue her fraudulent calling.

Breadth of the United States.

Few people are aware that the proU'
boast of Englishmen that the sun nevc
sets on the British Empire is equally ais
plicable to the United States. Instead &.
being the western limit of the Union, S21
Francisco is only about midway between
the Aleutian Isle, acquired by our pug-
chase of Alaska, and PASSPORT, Me. On,
territory extends through 1917 of longj-
tude. or 10 more than half way roun,l
the globe. The Rocky lHOuatain Prest.'-
teridn. in commenting on this fact, says.
When the sun is giving its goodnight
kiss to our westernmost isle, on the con-
fines of Behring's Sea, it is already flood
ing the fields and forests of Maine with
its morning light, and in the eastern part
of that State is more than an hour high.
