Fat PEG pie Easily "Sunstruck.

Fat people are not only liable to sudden
death from heart disease, apoplexy, etc., but
statistics show that they are more liable than
others to 'sunstrokes' and affections arising
from extreme heat. An extensive experience
in the treatment of corpulence has resulted in
the introduction of Allans Anti-Fat, a safe,
certain and speedy remedy for the cure of this
terrible condition. Its use insures reduction
of from two to five pounds per week. If cor
pulent people who are exposed to the rays of
the sun value life, land comfortable existence,
let them use Allan's Anti-Fat. Sold by drug

This happened every day.
We think it is wonderful cure.
We do not say he is cured, but he is in a fair way
to be cured to say the least. Yours truly

Acres of Perfume.

Some idea of the magnitude of the business
OF raising sweet-scented flowers for their
perfume alone, may be gathered from the
fact that Europe and British India alone con-
sumo about $780, 900 gallons of handkerchief
perfume yearly; that the English revenue
from French eau-de-Cologne of itself is $40,
600 annually, and the total revenue of Eng
land from other imported perfumes is esti-
mated at 5000, 900 each year. There is one
great perfume dstillery at Cannes, in France.
which uses yearly about 100000 pounds of
acacia flowers, lac, 900 pounds of rare flow
er leaves, 1900 pounds of jasemine bios
SONS, and 10000 pounds of tuberose blossoms
together With an immense quantity of other
material used for perfume Victoria, in
New South Walt S, is noted place for the
production of perfume-yielding plants, be-
cause such plants as the mignonette, sweet
verbena, Jasemine, rose, lavender, acacia,
heliotrope, rosemary, wallflower laurel, or
ange and the sweet-sc-nted geraniums are
said to grow there in greater perfection than
in any other part of the world, South Aus
tralia, it is believed, would also be a good
place for the growing of these perfume-pro-
ducing plats, though they are not yet Guilt
waited there to much extent. The value of
perfumes to countries adapted to their pro-
duetion may be gathered from the following
estimate of their growth and value per acre,
as given in the London (Eng.,) Journal of
Horticultewe: An acre ofjasemine plants,
$4,000 in number, will produce 5000 pounds
OF flowers, valued at $3.50; an acre of rose
trees, 10000 in number, will yield 1000
pounds of flowers, worth 1915; 100 orange
trees growing on an acre will yield, at ten
years of age, 1000 pounds of flowers, valued
at $3.50; an acre of violets, producing 1000
pounds of flowers, is worth $500; an acre of
cassia trees of about 300, will at three years
of age yield 900 pounds of flowers, worth
$3.50; an acre of geranium plants will yield
something over 1000 ounces distilled otto,
worth $4,000; an acre of lavender, giving
over thirty-five hundred flowers for distilla-
ton, will yield value of 81 ,50.-Boston CuI-

SOASOAOS'
These old-fashioned plants are really very
fine ornaments of the garden when properly
treated. The principal object is to procure
good seed, otherwise the labor is lost, for the
ordinary plants with small, struggling combs,
possess but little beauty. The seed should
be sown early in a hot-bed to obtain fine,
large, snowy heads, but even as late as this
large and handsome specimens may be OBJ
tanned. The seed should be sown in pots,
we'll drained, and filled with light soil; make
the surface perfectly level, and scatter the
seed thinly over the surface, cover very
lightly with seed and portion of the soil
mixed with it, Place the pot in hot-bed
where the temperature is about 65. or 70o
and in few days the plants will be up. AS
soon as they are of proper size pot off into
three-inch pots, one in each, and return
them to the bed, where they can be kept
growing without any check until the wealth
er is warm enough to plant out in the open
garden, which is usually the first week in
June. They make very handsome orna-
ments grown in pots, and to have them in
this way it is only necessary to give the
plants shift into larger pots, giving them
good, rich compost, made of three-quar-
tiers loan and one-quarter old COW dung or
well-rotted hot-bed manure, with slight
sprinkling of sand. The last shift made may
be into sevcn-inch pots, which will be large
enough for a handsome specimen. Keep
them plunged in a good bottom heat until
well established. when they may be removed
to the house for the decoration of the win
dow or verandah.-Boston CultivGtor.

STABBED IN THE BREAST.

An ARRAY on the Steamboat e. j. Gay.
At quarter past 5 o'clock yesterday. on board
the steamboat Edward j. Gay. lying at the head
of Bienville street, a difficulty occurred be-
tween two negroes. named respectively
Henderson Green and one Frank. which
resulted in the former being stabbed In
the right breast and dangerously wounded with
knit in the hands Of Frank.
The accused, after committing the Decd fed
from the scene and effected his escape. The
wounded man was Immediately conveyed to
the Charity Hospital, where his wound was ex-
amined by House Surgeons Miles and Pratt
who expressed the opinion that the knife had
penetrated the right lung, and that his life was
hanging by thread.
The wounded man was visited at the hospital
by the reporter. to whom he made the following
statement:
Il was trucking freight and had Just rolled my
truck by the wheelhouse when I met Frank, who
said to me: Who In the hi are you looking
at replied, I am looking at you He then
drew his knife and / made a bluff to draw mine !;
1t was bluff, for had none. While was max
ing the bluff he gave it to me right here, in the
breast, and then ran off,"
As the boat backed out q few minutes after the
difficulty, having on board all the witnesses. it
was impossible to obtain fuller particulars. a
description of the accused has been telegraphed
to the various police stations, and the officers
are now hunting him.
