Its Early HiStOry--FlOwer Fields of
SiciIy--Persumery from France.

Sicily-.Persumeryf from France.
The manufacture of perfume from flow
ers has been carried on more or less since
the beginning of the historic era, says the
Baltimore News. The ancient Egyptians
seem to have understood the process of dis
tilling affairs from various flowers and fruits.
During the middle ages we read of per-
fume known as Hungary water which was
first distilled from rosemary in 1870 by
Elizabeth, queen of Hungary, who obtained
the recipe from hermit, and by the use of
it is said to have preserved her beauty to
old age. Catherine de Medicis, when she
came to France to marry Henry H.. brought
with her a famous Florentine perfumer,
who had the art of manufacturing oils
from flowers. both by the process of en-
fleurage and by maceration, though of
course his methods were rude and unscien-
ttic as compared with those OF to-day.
From that time the French have paid great
attention to the cultivation of flowers for
this purpose.
The greatest number of the materials,
amounting to twenty-eight, is obtained
from the south of France and Italy, which
is the chief center of manufacture for per-
fumery materials. The East Indies and
China furnish about twenty-one, Turkey
two, Africa two. North America six. South
America six and England four. The only
articles named from the United States are
peppermint, sassafras and wintergreen.
The chief places for the growth of the
sweet perfume producing flowers are Mont
pelier, Grasse, Mines, Savoy, Cannes and
Nice in France. 1t is there that the jas
mine, tuberuse, cassia. rose and violet grow
to such perfection, and that the processes OF
enfleurage and maceration are commercially
worked.
Nice and Cannes are the paradise of vio-
lets. producing annually something like
$50 tons of blossoms. The variety culti-
waited is generally the double or Parma vio-
let. which is so productive that the flowers
are sold at about pence per pound, and
we all know what sort of bouquets pound
of yiolets would make. The abundance in
Sicily of every flower which in our climate
is most highly priced recalls the traveller in
the story who arrived in country where
the children played pitch and toss and mar
bIes with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and
other precious gems. These are doubt
less the sons of some powerful king" he
said, and bowed before them. The chill
dren, laughing, made him soon perceive
that they were the street boys, and that the
gems were only the pebbles of that coun-
try.

The uorauIs and the MONKEY.

4 nobleman had favorite monkey, a
large orang-outang, which you know is the
largest species of monkey except the gorilla.
This monkey was very much attached 10
his master and to the baby, who was the
pet of the whole family.
One day suddenly fire broke ont in the
house. and everybody was running here
and there to put it cut. while the little boy
i'm his nursery was almost forgotten, and
when they thought of him the staircase
was all I'm flames. What could be done?
As they were looking up and wondering.
a large hairy hand and arm opened the
window, and presently the monkey APP
peared with the baby in his arms, and
carefully cllmbed down over the porch and
brought the baby safely To his nurse.
Nobody else could have done it. for a
man cannot climb like monkey and is not
nearly ~ strong. You may Imagine how
the faithful creature was praised and petted
after that. This is a true story. and the
child who was saved was the young Mar
ouis of Kildare ChiIdren's Treasury.

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR MATTER.

in regard to convict labor and other matters
of mutual interest. a discussion followed
in regard to the second penitentiary
TO be established by the state, the general
opinion being in favor of reformatOry.
A committee of i've was finally appointed
TO join with similar committee from the
st. Paul assembly i'm an investigation of
the matter. The boycott against Grun-
hagen and Kuhnen, the cigar manufac-
turers, was Endorsed. Considerable bust
ness of a routine nature was transacted.
