And here is another view of the matter:
No minister ought to give up one church and
take another with the idea of using that

tiers are forced to do because of the demand
made upon them by the double sermon

Old maids are useful. They can
cook, sew and take care of the child

Old maids are amia1le If one

Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
snub children, despise babies, and hate
young mothers, and are always so bus
lily employed in seeing that other
people take good care Of them that
they have not moment to give to
anyone else.
Old maids are nice looking and
young for their years. Old bachelors
generally have red noses, rheumatism
in their knees, bald heads and mouths
that turn down at the corners.
Old maids can make home of one
little room, and they cook delicious
meals for one over the gas Jet in cum

all their own wardrobes. Old bachel-
ors need an army of tailors, walters,
cooks, distant relatives, and hotel
landlords to keep them comfortable.

When old bachelors are ill they 60 to

When an old maid travels she takes

Acres of Perfume.

Some idea Of the magnitude Of the bust
ness OF raising sweet-scented flowers for
their perfume alone may be gathered from
the fact that Europe and British India alone
consumes about $780, 900 gallons of handker-
chief perfume yearly; that the English rev.
enuc from French eau de Cologne of itself is
$40, 600 annually and the total revenue of
England from other imported perfumes is
estimated at $500, 600 each year. There is
one great perfume distillery at Cannes, in
France, which uses nearly about 1907
pounds of acacia flowers, l4e, 600 pounds of
rare flower leaves, 1000 pounds of jasmine
blossoms, together with an immense guam
tity of other material used for perfume
Victoria, in New South Wales, is q noted
place for the production of perfume yielding
plants, because such plants as the mignon-
cite, sweet verbena, jasmine, rose, lavender
acacia, heliotrope, rosemary, wall flower
laurel, orange and the sweet scented gera-
NUNS are said to grow there in greater per-
lection than in any other part OF the world.
South Australia, it is believed, would also
be good place for the growing of the per-
fumo producing plants, though they are not
yet cultivated there to much extent. The
value of perfumes to countries adapted TO
their production may be gathered from the
following estimates of their growth and
value per acre, as given in the London Jour-
nal of Horticulture: An acre of jasmine
plants, $4,000 in number, produce 5000
pounds of flowers, valued at 81, 250; an aero
OF rose trees, 10000 in number, will yield
1900 pounds of flowers, worth 1876; 30l
orange trees growing on an acre will yield,
Mt ten years of age, 1000 pounds of flowers,
valued at $3.50; an. acre of violcts, produc-
| ing 1000 poundssof flowers is worth, $500,
an acre of cassia trees of about 300 will, at
three years of age, yield 900 pounds of
flowers, wort $3.50; an acre of geranium
plants will yield something over 1000
ounces distilled ottar, worth "a, 900; an acre
