PEEruMERy.-The amount Of per
fumcry used by people with cultivated,
or uncultivated noses can only be I'M,
derstoOd by glanciny over the figures
relating to this great scented subject.
Europe and British India alone consume
about 100000 gallons Of handkerchief
perfume yearly; the English revenue
from French eau dc Cologne of itself is
340.~ annually, and the total revenue
Of England from other imported per-
fumes is estimated at 5000, 900 each year.
There is one great perfume distiilery ut
Cannes, in France, which uses yearly
about 100000 pounds Of acacia flowers,
100000 pounds of rare flower leaves,
$1,000 pounds of jasmine blossoms, and
10000 pounds OF tube-rose blossoms.
together with an immense Quantity of
other material used for perfume. The
value of perfumes to countries adapted
to their production may be gathered
from the following estimate Of their
growth and value per acre: An acre OF
Jasmine plants, $4,000 in number, will
produce 5000 pounds of flowers, valued
at 1880; an acre of rose trees, 10000 in
number, will yield2O00pounds of flowers,
worth 1876; 800 orange trees, growing
on an acre, will yield, at ten years of
age, 5000 pounds of flowers, valued at
$3.50 an acre OF violets, producing 1900
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 gera-
MUM plants will yield something over
1000 ounces distilled altar, worth $4,000 !;
an acre of lavendar, giving over $500
