for the New York HAL and Express.
In the quality and permanency of g
delightful OdOr. 1t is easy by q combina-
ton Of mixtures TO produce perfumerV
that has an odor like a genuine extract.
At hrst It VIII possess the strength and
Pungency requisite to deceive most any
one, but after a while it viii detsriOrat8
and become palpably insipid. Instead
OF an extract from some sweet smelling
flower, it is a decOction not without
chemical merit, but entirely devoid Of
the delicate and delightful scent charac-
terlstic Of the genuine. The reason that
certain brands of perfumery, after they
nave been famous for time, play out
and become worthless, Is that the mar
ket is flooded with counterfeit brands
made up entirely of cheap mixtures. I
have known brands TO be popular for
several years and then all at once to lose
favor. Who loses Why, the honest
manufacturer loses, and the public thinks
his brand has become worthless. Il
takes years and years to build up a sub
stantial and reliable patronage in per
fumery. The least adulteratiOn of a
brand kills it. There are thirty-twO
different extracts, usually designated as
triple extracts: They are made from
those flowers whose name they usually
bear. Their cost greatly depends on
that Of the flowers.
Cologne does not seem to be as pOpu-
lar as formerly. Toilet waters are great
ly used in preference, and especially in
this city. Cologne, though, is still popu-
lar in the rural districts, where the PEG
pie do not like a change. The rural Gus
toners ask for sweet smelling cologne,
the same as their forefathers used. They
do not care about the higher priced ex-
tracts with high-sQunding names"
"In extracting the essence of flowers
what process do you use2"
"Ihe same as that used by the famous
manufacturers in Italy, where the flowers
grow. The United States, I think, will
in time rival Italy and France in the
manufacture Of perfumery. Already the
country around is dotted with green
houses covering acres and furnishing
enormous quantities of flowers of every
kind. The South, perhaps, viii one day
have fields of roses as well as cotton, and
the rose farms will be appraised at q
higher value than the latter"

A SHINING Business.
Wichita Beacon.

Wichita Beacon.
Several men with teams arrived here
direct from oklahoma yesterday. They
were not returning boomers, but men
employed by the 4D Cattle company to
skin the dead cattle whose carcasses
strew the plains of the territory. The
cattle, as is well known, died during the
severe winter weather, and their carcass
es are so numerous as to excite pity in
the most Indifferent breast OurinfOrm-
ant Zone of the skinners) says the silent
herds are so numerous that one who
travels there will be surprised. The poor
animals deprived of food by the snow,
and pierced by the winds, sank in their
tracks, and where the snow was melted
they reached around them for the dry
spears, unable to raise their hips from the
ground. When the last morseI waseaten
that could be reached, they expired, and
many Of the bodies are found in the cen
ters of barren circles about ten feet In
diameter. The Carcasses frOz6 so hard
they could not be skinned for many
weeks. When the weather changed it
became so warm that not half the hides
could be saved.
The party that arrived here yesterday
brought 500 hides, and left about 300 on
facts, we asked the man from the teritO-
"How did youfnd Oklahoma asregards
live cattle?"
"Wen, there are many thousands
there, Of course, and they will soon be
growing sleek on young grass"
''But General Hatch reports to the
government that there are no cattle men
in Oklahoma"
90, you know Hatch is working in the
interest of the big companies and you
bet the cattle men are working to remain
there and keep the boomers out. Why,
we had to get passes from the fOremen of
the companies before we could pass
through to reach the I'D cOmpany's dead
herds. All the territory is farmed out,
and unless q man has a good excuse and
a cattle mans pass, he can't 60 into
Oklahoma"
''You only confirm" said the reporter,
what thousands of other men have as
serted, and now what puzzles me is to
describe the magnitude Of General Hatch
as a militarary liar"
"Say he's the boss of the border at the
business" said the cOW-skiner, "but don't
use my name, for it might interfere with
our contracts on hides"
We parted with the man from the dead
herds, wondering who would be next in
Wichita to give the "bOss of the border"
a brilliant reception,

KILLING CATTLE.
The Manner In Which ButcherIng is Done
Utilizing the CarCasses,

The Manner in Which ButcherIng is Done
Utilizing the CarCassess
The modus Operandi of killing and
preparing cattle at the stock yards for
the market is described by a writer for
the National L5Us Stock Journal, who says:
zone man, with a good breech-loading
rife, used at very short range, does the
killing. This has been found the surest,
quickest, and most humane way Of ex-
tinguishing the life Of cattle by the firms
engaged In the business here. One con
Germ uses a heavy hammer to deal the
death-bIOW, and a few years ago 'spear-
ing" was IesOrted to. This was, in
appearance at least, a very barbarOus
practice. A man armed with a bar Of
round iron, seven or eight feet long and
sharp-pOinted at one end, would take
his place over the narrow chute through
which the bullock was driven, and plunge
The instrument into the top of his head,
lust back of the horns, sVering the spinal
cord. Generally the spear was effective,
and caused instant death, but in the
case of badly frightened and FESTIVE
beasts it would frequently 60 wide Of the
mark, and MAIN them IN a horrible
manner. After the shooting the animals
are dragged head fOrmeOst by a chain
from where they fell into the main
building and their Threats are cut, the
blood being caught, as 1t hOWs, IN pans.
These are allowed to stand until the
blood cOagulates, when it is removed and
dried, for not only the blood, but the
horns, bones, entrails, tails, and every
thing except the contents of the stomach
and bowels have a commercial value
here. The tail does not go with the
hide at the stOck-yard', but is taken out
entire, and has q market value OF about
I6c. Ox-taiF soup is made from them,
The intestines are all wanted for sausage
castings, and the bones are sold mainly
to knife manufacturers. They are worth
$50 to $50 per ton. There is demand
in some quarters for blood sausage, and
the blood not used In this way is sold TO
sugar refiners. 1t is worth $28 per ton.
Hos blood is used but seldom, except
as a fertilizing material. The visitor is
always amazed at the incredible short
time it takes a practical butcher to
remove the hide from a bullock. The
whole operation OfsKinning and dressing
Is accom- plished at the rate Of one every
Ten minutes to each butcher, or about
the lengeth Of time it takes a farmer to
skin the hind leg Of acoW to her gambreI

A COOL HAND.

The story am about to relate is a very
SIMPLE one, but is a type of a particular
class, how little we detectives have to 90
on, and from what slight evidence will
we sometimes have to act. With this
short prelude, 1 will begin my story.
One morning the chief called me into
his Office, and l saw at once by the look
on his face that he was somewhat trOub-
led.

piece of business on hand. You know

icest fellows that ever lived" said I.
well, there has been a most daring
robbery committed at his house in Park
Lane; but from what I can make out
from his lOrdship's hurried letter, and
from his Wallets statement--he sent the
note by his Valet-the whole affair seems
wrapped IN the greatest mystery"
That is just the kind of a case 1 like, .
replied.
"Ah, thought Sc" he said, with a
laugh. 81 only hope you are not too con-
hdent. His being so high up in power
might make it rather awkward if it be-
came public, and we did not find it out.
Those newspaper fellows like to get hold
of a thing like that-it is capital to
them"
ave all have our little faults, j." I laugh
ed, 'and / think, as a rule, they are very
good fellows"
"That may be. But you had better be
of at once; for, from his lOrdship's note,
/ could guess that the matter is very Sc
riOus."

and dashed of to Park Lane, and was in

let US 90 through this matter in regular
form. In the first place, I should like you
to tell me what you know of this matter.
/ ask you to pardon me, my lord, but the
fact is, 1 have to discover the thief and
recover the property, and therefore must
think more Of means than Of manners"
'By jOve. the fellow says truly !" cried
the Colonel. "Come George, tell him all
about it"
You must know, sergeant, that last
night the bill came before the house,
and the discussion was a very long one,
and owing to the absence Of some of our
party, had to take long and very un-
expected part in it. On returning home
tins morning was thoroughly exhausted
and undressing myself rapidly, drank
some light claret, and went to bed"

should disturb me, until 1 rang my bell.

one afternoon when he reached the

minutes after I did. I was leaning
against the front rail Of the platform,

As far as clothes and tastes are con-
cerned, Garland and Brewster are as far
apart as the poles. Garland pays no
attention atall to his personal appearance
andi VIII not be surprising If he Is found
during the summer attending TO his
business, amid all this art, In his shirt
sleeves and slippers. He has no rufHes
on his shirts, and wears the Old-fashOned
kind which button In the front, and
have the wristbands attached to the
sleeves. His collar is q turnover one,
and that soft silk necktie Of plain black
was evidently tied with his own hands.
Senator Garland looks the democrat all
over. His hair is disheveled, and his
spectacles he wears on the middle Of his
