objections to these things ara tie following They are
greasy and dsagreeabet to hsde; they require TO be
applied frequently; most Of them have little or no
counter rritant effect the odor is often unpleasant
and they are apt to soil the linen clothing
Bensons plssters agreeable to the senses they re
in the highest degree neat elegant cleanly their ac

medicinal qualities insure quick and certain cures
Compared with all other plasters Benson's show

improvements ever made in porous plasers While all
Others dull slow and unsatisfactory Bensous are
prompt and positive One of them is worth dozen of

train boy, just Us group of ladies were passing
down the platform. "What was that which
was so awful? Has anybody been killed? Has
there been terrible CATASTROPHE? What did
they do with the wounded; When did the col
lision take place. Such were a few of the
questions that assailed the youth. "'Twant
no collision, ladies; but it was awful all the
same What was it? Don't keep us in sus-
pense.' well, you see ladies, a gentleman
was standing right here on the platform, and
Just as the train started he gave a jump"
And was crushed beneath the wheels and his
mangled corpse was strewn for miles along the
track" Not exactly. marin; but the train took
his head right off" Instantly the air resounded
with cries OF horror from the feminine group.
When the boy could make himself heard. he re-
marked: II don't see anything horrible about it,
ladies' The train took the mans body off, too.
But he came awfully near being lett AS the
ladies turned to move on the words ''disgusting

She had ayerted her face to hide her fearful

he drew her toward him great tide of unspeak-

When they were both calmer she told Of the
heavy grief that had fallen upon them. They
must leave their dear old home which had
passed into the hands ofstrangers
''Of strangers, Marion? Do you call me a

He looked surprised in his turn.

AS Marion crossed the threshold the clock

proposing on a Street Car.
From the Philadelphia Record
The bleak and uninvitng interior of street
car, with the thermometer twenty degrees be-
low freezing point, was the scene Of a proposal
OF marriage last evening. The hour was half
past 9, the car one of the amber-hued chariots
of the 18th and 18th streets line, and the inter-
ested parties trim-built, pretty girl of about
nineteen summers with dark eyes and rosy
cheeks, and young man OF two or three and
twenty, arrayed in double-breasted overcoat
with sealskin collar. a Fedora'hat and a large
diamond scarfpn. that if the young man was
not hotel clerk was probably paste.

evidently what is known in the language of love
as spoons" and the eyes of both fairly beamed
with atfectionate glances of the first water

railways. 1t was bound north. Pine. Spruce
Locust and Walnut streets were passed in rapid
succession until the flashing glare of the electric

He then glanced at her in loving way. looked
across at the reporter who was apparently

giving one or two coughs said. with a smile:

conductors feet upon the icy platform. Then
She slipped her hand into his blushed even

A Talk About Perfumes.

C. f. Haynes In the Northwest Trade
GLOW many flowers are used in the manufac-
ture of perfumes!"
THE principal ones are roses orange-fowers
tuberOses, the jasmine, cassa and violet
Aside from the roses the flowery perfumes are
produced in France, where farmers and garden
ers devote themselves to the cultivation of
flowers for the purpose. The pOmades, which
are sort OF vehicle for carrying the essences
are shipped to perfumers In all parts of the
world. These pomades are all made in the
same way. Several new processes have been
devised, but none have proved as good as the
old method. Imay also say that perfumes are
everywhere made from the raw material by the
same process"
The perfumer took down another curious
object from the shelf. 1t was an OXhOrn with a
Cloth tied across the open end.
This Is the original In which civet Is shipped
from Egypt. Clvet Is an animal Odor and is OBJ
tanned from pouch on an animal Of that name
In which it is secreted. The best known of ami
NAL OdOrs Is musk, which Is obtained from the
musk deer. China furnishes the best quality
Twenty-Five pods or sacks are packed in obong
boxes composed Of plates of lead inclosed in q
caddy made OF Dasteboard, The caddy Is deco
rated with curious looking Chinese characters
Musk is obtained from Assam Siberia, the Altai
mountains and other parts Of northern Asia
London is the depot for all varieties Of musk"
what is ambergris3"
THAT is another animal odor It's secreted
In tho intestines of the spermaceti whale A
very curious fact Is that ambergris Ia only accu-
mulated by disease-that Is, 1t is only secreted
In sick whale. 1t is hard, of light gray color
and Is found In quantities varying from twenty
to fifty pounds. 1t is worth $50 an ounce. So
you see If a party Of sailors strike this kind of
whale they can make for shore. Spermaceti
whales are found near the island of Sumatra,
Molucca, Madagascar and In the China SEAS"
