The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1884-06-26

Genuine altar of roses, which is
made in India and Australia, costs
800 an ounce at the places of distil-
lation. 1t takes $4,000 rose blooms to
yield an ounce of altar They are the
common roses, and grow in great Iro-
fusion in California, where the distilla-
tion of altar could be made !, very
profitable industry. 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 pleasure than a pur-
suit of labor. The rose leaves are
distilled in twice their weight of wa
ter, 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 thin oily film. This is the rare
altar of roses. 1t is skinned off with a
fine leather and dropped into vials.
The process continues daily, until the
bushes cease to yield.

As an instance of the wonderful ra-
pidity with which words and measures
can now be transmitted to the various
commercial centres of the world, we
may mention the fact recorded in the
London Electrician, that conversation
had been carried on between an opera
tor in London and another in Calcutta,
at the rate of twelve to fourteen words
to the minute, over wire extending
some 1000 miles, by way of CONSTANT
nople to Teheran, in Persia, thence to
Bombay, and finally to Calcutta; the
interveningispace between London and
the capital of British India may be
considered now practically annihilated.
AS further illustration of the rapid
way communications now pass be-
tween merchants, message of twenty
words was despatched by a London
house recently to Wyborg, in India, at
midday, and the same afternoon an
answer was received.

Mexican crowds afford curiously
interesting study for an American
visitor, writes one of the latter class.
The first thing that strikes one is the
absence of jostling, the regard for the
rights of every one by every one
There is no loud or boisterous talk,
no elbowing of the weak and poor by
the rich and strong. Whatever in
firmities of temper or character the
Mexican people may possess, their
street manners are model for US.
Women may walk the mlst densely
crowded thoroughfares with greater
certainty of immunity from insult
than is the case in Boston or New
York. The rowdy, the rude "masher,"
the jeering loafer, are not seen. A
deferential courtesy is the rule The
commonest poems lift their hats to one
another. The tone of voice is univers
ally low, and you do not hear the
nasal falsetto of our great north ern
cities.

1t is said that Mrs. Robert L. Stewart
OF New York, who is one of the me-
tropolitan millionaire widows, not be
ing able to prevent by law Colon
lngersol's lectures, has put aside
$4,000 for publishing tracts refuting
his statements. Whenever and wheI
ever Ingersoll lectures, men stand in
front of the house with their arms fui
of tracts, which they offer to every
one who goes in or comes out. The
replies to Ingersoll thus disseminated
are brief and direct, sometimes quite
personal, and even approaching his
own denunciatory style.

The fine fibre obtained from the in
ner lining of the palmetto bud, says 4
Jacksonville ( (Fla.) correspondent Of
the Savannah Neps, is now manufac-
tured into substance so closely re
sembling human hair that it is EN-
ployed as substitute for the genuine
article. The fibre may be obtained at
any length and is capable of taking
any color. This being true.ladies may
now indulge in black, brown, flaxen,
or auburn tresses without any feeling
of squeamishness with regard to the
origin of the false locks which assist
their natural charms.

any previous month. At the beginning of
the month just ended, we announced that
the department which had the least number
of eases of hardness would be dismissed one
hour and a half earlier on the last day of the
month than the others, and also that the
highest per cent. attendance on the enroll
mem would also receive the same reward.
The Principals department had the smallest

month the same reward will be given for at

ance, provided the number of eases OF tardi-
ness diminish 40 per cent.

Dear Sr-Several of our young ladies have

At the close of his brilliant lecture here on

being thanked and complimented muchly, he
came to the front Of the stage and said he
could only give the gentlemen his thanks,
the ladies his love, and to the pretty little
girls the was very particular about the size
of the girls) he threw kiss, and-weIl, this
Partially is the ground Of our complaint.
We appeal to you. Now, was it not little
mite wanting in gallantry in him, to limit
his parting gift to the pretty little girls?
Please express your mind about it.
Yours truly,
A PRETTY LARGE GIRL.
