| HOME MADE COLOGNE. - The only
| perfume which never seems to offend
| any. and which leaves no unpleasant
odor behind It, Is that Of cologne water,
which stimulates while 1t s0othcs the
senses, and suggests n pleasant whole
sOincness Instead Of any siCkIsh sweet
ness, as fine best Of the extracts and CO.
sonccs and bouquets are apt to do. The
best Of all cologne, 1t has been goncr-
ally conceded, Is that which lcgiti-
matcly bears the seal Of Jean Maria Fa-

mula OF this famous preparation, which
ID said by competent authority to be abb
solutcly genuine, and whose trial has
resulted In very delicious product, not
npprcciably different to the senses from
that made In tho ancient city whence 1t
derives its name. 1t calls for rather II
large quantity, the reader will see, but
all the amounts can Of course be divided
and proportioncd. Digest, for three
days, in five gallons Of rcctiilcd spirits,
having first bruised them well, ten
grains Of angelica root, fifteen grains
Of camphor, twenty grains cnch OF

flowers, three ,lrums of rose petals and
OF violets, one ounce each Of baInl-mnt
and Of spcarmint, two oranges, and the
same number of lemons. After these
substances have stood together they arc
to be distilled nj about the end Of the
third day, taking Off only tw0-thirls OF

added one fluid ounce each of the oils
Of jasmine and bcrgamoL, ono dram

of ncroli and ol essence Of nnth0s seed;
