A Perfume of the Old DAYS.

The good, old-fashioned rosewster in
which our grandparents delighted can
be easily manufactured. The ross
leaves should be gathered in dry wealth

take u large bowl and strew table salt
on the bottom; then three handsfll Of
leaves, and repeat until all the leaves
are used, covering the top with salt.
Let this remain Eve days, stirring ard
tarnina euios Aday, whom they shocid

bruised or cosrsely powdered allspice;
one ounce cinnamon stick bruised,
which forms the stock. Allow it to re-
main week, turning daily from top to

one ounce alispioe and adding the stock,
layer by layer. sprinkle between the
layers the following mixture: One
ounce each cloves and cinnamon, two
nutmegs, all coarsely powdered; some
ginger root, sliced thin; half an ounce
aniseseed, bruised; ten grains Of the
finest musk, half pound Of freshly
dried lavender flowers; two ounces Of
powdered or thinly sliced orris root,
and essential oils ad i6itum; also, any
fine colognes, rose or orange flower
water, orange or lemon peel. Freshly
dried violets, tuberoses, Glove pinks or
other highly scented flowers should be
added each year in season. Fine ex-
tracts of any kind will enhance the
fragrant odor. while fresh rose leaves,
salt and allspice. made as at first, must
be added when convenient in the rose
season. Shake aud stir the jar once or
twice week, and open only during
use. The delightful effect produced
throughout the dwelling by the daily
use of these jars is not as universally

Didn't Recognize HIM.

The Boston Sunday Budget tell the
following story: Many years ago there
dwelt in certain Boston street two
families which, although near neigh
bors, had no neighborly relations nor
acquaintance. This grew ont of the
fact that while the head of one house
let us call him Jones--was of somewhat
low condition" the other. whom We
will stylo Pedigree, WAS upper crust,
"a regular patricisn." 1t rather troubled
tho Jones family TO have the Pedigress
treat them as though they did not exist;
but they managed to worry along. and
in due time the Jones boys grew to be
men and entered upou the serious busi-
ness of life, one of them to such good
purpose THAI he acquired wealth, and
became the president of bank. One
day one of the Pedigrees received q
check on this bank and stepped in to
have it csshed. The teller was all po
likeness, said he had no doubt it was all
right, but added that the rules of tho
baiik required that the presenter OF a
check should he identified. Mr.. Pedi-
gree found no fault. and added that he
had no doubt Mr.. Jones. the president
of the bank, could furnish the needed
Identification. just then the president
happened to pass from his private room,
and the teller handed him the check
and stated what was wanted. The
president took the check, examined
the signature and the endorsement
carefully. and looking Mr.. Pedigree
straight in the face, handed it back to
tho teller and said, II" do not know the
gentleman, )" turned Oh his heel and
went about his business.

CIRoUMsTANTIAL EvIDENCE-A we'll
known citizen Of Albany occasion
ally relates an experience OF his
early life to illustrate the danger of a
conviction ON circumstantial evidence.
He had had lovers quarrel, known to
her family, with the lady who has been
his wife now for twenty years. Ono
evening he called upon her and recon
ciliation took place. In the anxiety of
restored love aud confidence she ex-
pressed the fear that he might be as
saulted while passing through disor-
derly part of the city on his way home.
and to reassure her he took a pistol
from lis pocket. told her that he always
carried it. and was explaining its
mechanism when it was accidentally
discharged. The girls parents rushed
into tho room, expecting to discover q
murder or suicide, but fortunately no
harm had been done, although the bul
let grazed the girls face. On his way
home the lover threw his pistol into the
river and has never since carried one.
He thinks that any jury in Chris,encom
would have foand him guilty of murder
ii he had killed his sweetheart, for
against his unsupported denial the
strongest circumstsntial evidence Of q
motive could have been brought.

Weediu and Sullivan Shy Their Castors
Into the Ring and Brutally Maui One
Another.
PITTSBURGH, June S0.-Between six
and seven o'clock last evening not less
than dozen closely covered carriages
turned up Federal street, Allegheny,
and out the Perrysville road. In the
vehicles were forty or fifty members OF
the sporting fraternity, who were wend-
ing their way to witness a prize tight
between Jimmy Weedin and Tom Sui
livan. THE match was made day or
two ago and was for $50 a side.
The Two Bruisers.
The two men are both well known in
sporting circles hereabouts. Jimmy
Weeden is the young Englshman who
has been endeavoring to get up match
with Owen Maloney for $1,000 side,
and whose refusal TO fight was publish
el on Tuesday. Tom Sullivan. the
other contestant, is an old prize fighter.
He was formerly on the Pittsburgh pO.
lice force, and has been in numerous
mills" He is an old man-old enough
to know when to cease fighting. Sulli.
van is a warm friend OF Maloney's, and
Weeden's refusing to fight Owen, prob
ably brought around last nights fight.
At the Ring,
The fight had been arranged on the
"uuiet," and it was not decided where It
would take place until yesterday. The
party drove to Shelf Fairchild's place,
several miles out the Perrysville road,
and passed on back OF his house over
the hill to an orchard, where the crowd
gathered in building known as the
cockpit.
AL Young, well known sporting
man OF this city, acted as referee, ac-
cording to a statement made by bar
tende, OF his saloon. The men strip
ped and entered the ring sometime be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. A cour-
ier drove to the city about half-past ten
o'clock and furnished few particulars
o. the fight.
The Fight.
The men came to the scratch in fine
form, Weeden making the best appear.
ance OF the two.
In the first seven rounds nothing but
sparring was INDUCED in, but when time
was called for the eighth round Sullivan
came up slightly weakened. He rallied,
however, and after several feints on
both sides, Weeden was knocked out oil
time by hard one on the chest.
From this round on the fight WAS
fierce on both sides. Weeden got in
four or five terrible blows and badly
used up his antagonist. On the other
hand, Sullivan succeeded In drawing
the "claret" several times from the nose
of the little Englishman. Matters be-
gan to look bad for the old man, and

sixteen rounds had been fought, both
men being badly used up, the referee
decided to make it draw.

who i0unG them distributed them
around in liberal manner, and as every
child in the neighborhood had one or
more, it Was difficult to ascertain who
the one, that first found the envelopes
was.
Some persons noticing the distrlbu-

A HEROINE.
Brave Act of a Little Miss Near
z Newark, Ohio.

NEwIRE. June 3O.-What might have

IN the loss OF two lives was avoided by
the heroism and rare presence OF mind
of Miss Nav Atherton, the daughter OF

suits, concluded to take dive into the
limpid depths OF the cool stream. Miss
Atherton had teen forbidden by her
mother to go into the water, so she re-
mained in the buggy. Her attention
was called away from the girls, who ad
lust gone into the water, TOR moment,
and when she again looked she could see
nothing OF them, as they had gone down.
She Immediately sprang from the buggy
and into the water, and, although the
water was quite deep, she succeeded in
bringing them to shore. As none oil the
girls could swim, it is miraculous how
they escaped drowning, and Miss Ather-
ton deserves great credit for her courage
in thus saving the lives OF her young
friends.
