are always purchased with fearful
forebodings as to their wearing

Distilling Altar of Roses.

Genuine altar of roses remarked a
New York chemist, ''whiiss, made in In
dia and Austs,- -, costs $160 an ounce at
the plaeeg distillation. 1t takes $4,000
rose blooms to yield an ounce of altar.
They are the common roses, and grow in
great profusion in California, where the
distillation of altar could be made a very
profitable industry. L have seen hedge
rows near Samona, in that State, so dense
with these roses that the odor from them
on warm, sultry day, caused feeling of
peculiar faintness and oppression in the
passer by This is the effect of the altar
that is distilled by the heat and moist air,
and is held suspended, as it were, in the
atmosphere ''There is money in that
cause of faintness and Incidence, but in this
country not only the sweetness, but the
great value of the flowers, is wasted on the
desert air In northern India the roses
are regularly cultivated. They are planted
in rows in fields, and require no particular
care When they begin to bloom they are
picked before midday. The work is done
by women and children, who seem to regard
it more as a pleasure than pursuit of
labor The rose leaves are distilled in
twice their weight of water, which is drawn
off into open vessels These are allowed to
stand over night, being covered up with
cloths to keep out dirt and insects. In
the morning the water is coated with Il
thin oily film. This is the rare altar of
rose 1t is skinned off with fine feather
and dropped into walls. The process con-
tinues daily until the bushes cease to bloom.
So it may well be imagined that any essence
or oil that requires the distilling Of 10000
roses to fill an ounce vial has right to
have a good price set upon it.

The Backyard.


Many back yards are denominations to the
eye and nose One finds in them all sorts
of litter and refuse, from oyster cans to old
boots. Here the Stops of the kitchen are
poured to increase the odors which ought
to warn every thoughtful person of the
malarial influence breeding there, to break
out eventually in fevers or diphtheria. If
any member of the family dies from one of
these diseases, his death is probably lamen-
ted as mysterious dispensation Of Provi-
dence," but the minister would say if he
were to visit the backyard that death was
caused solely by violation of hygienic laws.
A very strong argument against dirty
back yard is the spirit of deception which
it is apt to foster in the young members Of
the family, for it is constant deceit to
present clean and attractive 'front.' yard to
the gaze of the passers, while the back
yard is not fit to be seen. Children should
be taught to be clean for the sake of clean
illness, and not because outsiders are likely
to criticise them. The best plan is to have
a hogshead or large box fitted up in one
corner of the yard, and make it a rule to
throw into this old cans, boots, broken
dishes and all such rubbish, and when there
is a great accumulation, to bury or burn it.
Do not allow anything to be thrown about.
Have drains made to convey all Stops en-
tirely away from the house. Make good
walks, and let the ground have a fine COW
ering of grass, not weeds. Put up strong
supports for the clothes line. Keep the
fence in repair, and plant currant bushes
near it. Set vines about the refuse barrel,
and train them over it until it is hidden.
If you have receptacle for ashes, let it be
something which can be shut up, not a
row of old barrels to offend the eye and
give out cloud of ashes every time the
wind blows Make it rule to have the
backyard at all times as clean as the front
one.

A Mistake Often Made.

Boys and young men sometimes start out
in life with the idea that ones success de-
ponds on sharpness and chicanery. They
imagine if man is able always ITO get the
best of bargain" no matter by what de-
ceit and meanness he carries his point. that
his prosperity is assured. This is great
mistake Enduring prosperity cannot be
founded on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a
victim, soon or late, to the influences which
are forever working against him. His
house is built upon the sand, and its foun-
dation will be certain to give way. Young
people cannot give these truths too much
weight. The future of that young man is
safe who eschews every phase of doubt
dealing and dishonesty, and lays the foun-
dation of his career in the enduring prin-
ciples of everlasting truth.

The oak in the middle of the forest
which is surrounded on every side by trees
that shelter and shade it runs up tall and
sickly; put away from it its protectors,
and the first blast will overturn it. But
the same tree, growing in the open field
where it is continually beat upon by the
tempest, becomes its own protector. So
the man who is compelled TO rely on his
own resources, forms an independence Of
character to which he could not otherwise
attained Therefore, prefer rather

key or stem-winders, solid silver cases, worth
$50. The club is to consist of twenty mem:
bers. each member paying the sum of one
dollar per week for the term of 20 weeks. As
soon as twenty names are on the list, each
members name will be put on slip of paper
and all the names be put in box together,
when some disinterested person will draw one
from the box. The person whose name is
drawn will be entitled to the first watch; said
person gives security for the payment of one
dollar per week and takes his watch. Same
programme to be continued each week until
all the names are drawn and each member has
a watch. There is no gambling about it
whatever. Each member gets full value for
every dollar he pays in. All wishing to join

Bonner's Advertisement.

Robert Bonner, shortly after he started
the Ledger, contracted with Fanny Fern
for a story, agreeing to pay her fabulous
sum for the same. He had only few
hundred dollars capital at the time, but he
spent it all on full-page advertisement in
the New York Herald Rev. John Hall,
who was an intimate friend of Mr. Bonner
was almost paralyzed when he saw the ad-
vertisement. He ran down to Bonner S
office.
"Say, Robert, have you gone crazy ?
What do you mean by using whole page
in the Herald ?"
II mean to attract the attention of people
to what | have to offer
"But man, think of the expense. You
will bankrupt yourself. Couldn't you say
all you have to say in a half column ?"
ayes, certainly. But if I had only used a
half column, would you have run down
here at this hour to see about it? Would
you have taken much notice of it?"
"Well. n-no, | suppose not. But"
'But nothing. You see your excitement
over this thing is the best evidence | could
have that I am justified in advertising as
| have done A hundred thousand other
people will be surprised at the audacity of
the thing, and it will make an impression
on them, and get them to talking about me
and my paper"
That's advertising. That advertisement
was the beginning of the success of Robert
Bonner, a man who has made over two
million dollars out ofa newspaper that was
introduced to the public by advertising.
