The consolidation Of several minor
departments ofthe Sunset line at Hous-
ton, recently, looks like an effort to atone
for the removal of the general offices
from that city to New Orleans. But
possibly the great State of Texas should
be thankful for that small favor in re-
turn for the many broad acres of land
given to that corporation.

since the first of January the number Of
malefactors lynched in the United States
is ninety-nine. OF these ninety-six were
males and three females; tifty-eight were
white and torty-one colored. The South
is credited with seventy-6ve Of the num-
Der and the North twenty flour, while among
the States Texas leads with thirty-ono. As
to the offenses for which the criminals were
expedited, iorty.four were guilty of mur-

fourteen rape, three incendiarism. two
train wrecking, two 'murderous assault

A good and perhaps true story ia
told of Bob Ingersoll and Secretary
Lamar. Bob called at the Interior
Department and asked TO see the Sec
rotary.
"Dc scc'tary is occupied, sab, with
members and Senatahs only. Won't
see nobody else now, sah," said the
colored messenger at the door.
Bob waited a moment, with his hands
In his pockets Then he pulled out
half dollar and dropped it into the
lanitor's hand, after giving a few whis-
pered instructions. A moment later
the messenger walked into the Secre-
tary's room, where large number Of
Senators were assembled, and address
cd the Secretary:
Mr.. Sec tary, Mr.. Bob Ingersoll am
at dc doah. He says he understands
that dis am dc time when you won't
sec any but members and Senatahs,
an he wants to know when you re-
ceiye gentlemens.

, retary. - Washington Stv.

ALTAR OF ROSES.
An Account Of the Manufacture of This
Costly Substance.

The following account of the manu-.
facture OF this interesting substance is
coSiensed from a paper in the United
States consular reports. Tho annual
product in the district referred to
reached three tons in 1884, selling
for S5OO,0OO. In 1854 the product
was 1900 pounds, but the cost of man.
ufacture has been greatly increased in
recent years and it sold for 1926, 600.
Altar OF roses is produyed on large
scale in the province Of Roumelia, on
the southern slopes Of the Balkans, and
1t is only the altar Of these districts
that is Of any moment. Small quaint.
ties are produced in India and Persia,
but they are used for home consump-
tion, and the same is the case with the
altar of roses produced in the south of
France, which. although OF good quail
ity, forms only very small part Of the
consumption, Of these producing
places. The altar of Tunis Is of the
best quality. but the quantity produced
is comparatively small and the price
high. Very little Is exported.
The altar produced In Roumelia IS
made by distillation from rosa darias-
''ho' "h'oN SO'oh as iulV,
red; ii is sometimes, but rarely, white.
1t Is not very full as a flower, and
blooms in May and June. The rose
trees, when full grown, reach height
OF about six feet, and are planted in
rows. They have to be tended very
carcIui from the autumn to ths time Of
gathering. The flowers when in bloom
are plucked before sunrise, only in
such quantities as can be distilled on
the day they are plucked. The distil-
ling apparatus consists Of plain
timed still, from which o long curved
tube is directed through tub filled
+; with fresh water, and empties In big
bottle. Several such apparatus are usu.
ally standing on stone hcarths, by the
side OF each other, and, II possible,
close to brook in the shade Of trees.
According to the size Of the appa-
ratns, the still, may hold from twenty
! five to flfty pounds Of roses. on which
about double that amount Of water is

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New JeISey 6enate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were 30 weak raised blood. . Nobody
thought could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While In this condition I
commenced using Mishlers Herb Bitters,

Somehow, Mishlers Herb Htten gives

as nothing else does, and I must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and If any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and l will make affidavit TO 1t, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret Of the almost invariable relief
and cure Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that il contains simple
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor.

in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed BY physicians and drug

I poured, and is boiled brskly for about
half An hour The distilled liquid Is
collected in the bottle that stands at
the mouth of the cooling tube, and tho
altar of roses, which separates from
the water appears on the surface,
where it is skinned. The distilled
water is again used for distillation, and
constitutes ultimately the rosc-watcr
which enters into trade.
After sufficient quantity Of altar is
produced it has to bc totally freed from
the water, aud is kept in copper cans,
timed both on the inside and outside.
The rose trees attain their maximum
producing capacity in their fourth year,
say from 1900 10 1000 pounds per
acre They are very sensible 10 cold;
fogs and rain are also very fatal to the
blossoms. But the yield depends most
upon the weather during time OF distil-
latiou; the latter lasts sometimes ten
DAYS only, when the weather is warm
and clear, whereas it may require a
month aud more If the sky is cloudy,
especially ii rain falls ut intervals. In
the first case the yield i almost always
unfayUrablc, as the roses are blooming
at the same time. and, as there is no
time to gather and work them all, the
odor OF the flower soon vanishcS. and
the Weld in altar is much less in conse-
lucncc, so that 5000 to 1000 pounds
OF leaves are needed To give one pound
Of altar When the weather is favor
able and the buds bloom gradually
1900 to $500 pound of leaves will give
one pound.
Pure Ntar of roses when distilled
with due care is at first colorlcss, but
soon takes n yclluwish color. No GER
tain method is known to detect falsiii-
cation. AdmiNturcs OF alcohol for the
purpose OF increasing the freezing ca
puCiiy. or admNturrS of spurmaccti,
neither Of which, at least in the whole
sale trade, is now rcsOrlcd to, are. OF
course, easily detected. But the most
important iatsliylng medium is oil Of
gcranium, viii II some dealers order
even at Constantinopie to be sent to
kNHuuIiN, to bc distilled over again
with rose leaves, and to mix with altar
of roses. Moderate additions of this
oil defy detection. The surcst method
of testing is by smell, but it requires
much training, and can only be acquir-
ed by many years patience. 1t is still
n widespread belief, although an er-
roneous one, that The quality of the
altar of roses CORE ponds exactly with
the degree of its freeing capacity.
"The "stcaroptcn, which is the freez-
ing agent of the altar, is devoid of any
smell whatever. and has, therefore, no
bearing on the flavor or the purity of
the altar. a certain freezing capacity

The Cleveland Plain Dealer dem de-
votes q whole column of rank stuff with
great gusto over the fact that an ex-Con-
federate soldier is already on the Govern
ment pension list. That he is there by
the grace Of the Democratic party now in
power the p. ID. admits, but exultingly
lays the blame upon Abraham Lincoln,
and thus holds the Republican party re,
sponsible for it. The p. d. seems to be
afflicted with blindness if it cannot see tha,
it has the wrong end Of this thing as is usuaI
with the blunderrng Democrats. The
facts are that during the war many of the
captured rebel soldiers asked the Govern
ment to allow them to enlist in the regular
army as they did not desire to be ex.
changed They could not, on account OF
their former oath, fight against the ton
federate army, but President Lincoln de,
vised an expedlent and sent them to fight
the Indians on the frontier, thus relieving
regular soldiers to be used against the
rebels. One man out OF that number has
become so disabled as to be entitled to q
pension, and this is all there is about it
| If he has served the United States as an
| acceptable soldier since he was a rebel sol
der there is no reason why he should not
be pensioned. Here is scheme to pave
the way for the pensIoniag of all rebel sol
ders, and is brought forward as prece-

are greatly dissatisfied with his course, and
it is the almost universal opinion that unless
he retires from his present pastorate there
will be an eruption in his church. They do
not propose to countenauce movement, the
