How Vaccine Virus is Obtained.

A Greenwich, Conn, correspondent
writes: In Il cowhouse at the side Of
the old turnpike road, in the quaint vii.
lage of Cos Cob, two calves can be seer
on almost any day strapped to bench,
their feet sticking up in the air and
lots OF quilts protruding from theil
bodies. Around the room are razors,
knives, bundles of quilts and ropes. A
man is usually in attendance. This is
a vaccine factory, one of tho first es.
tablished in this country. The quilts
remain for short time in the flesh OF
the calves. As soon as they become
filled with mucus-vaccinc, as it is call.
ed-they are pulled out, sealed up air.
tight, and in time do duty all over the
world, finding their way to Germany
and Australia. Some people imagine
that calves are killed by the process, OF
are injured 50 rs to be unfit for use.
This Is not the case, but it is claimed
they are made more healthy by having
these sores, Tor that is all the harm
done to them. They seem to suffer
very little, and after few days frisk
about as lively as ever. Calves of two
colors are preferred at the factory,
white and red, and only strong and
healthy ones are selected.
"Oltentimes people come to the fac.
tory 10 be vaccinatcd," said the attend.
ant "They are so afraid they won't
get the right stufl-pure calf vaccine.
| am not doctor, and the doctors
don't like it very well just take this
knife that cut the calves with; so cut
the arm rs cut the calf, Ipull quill
from the calf and put it in the cut OIL
scratch They smile, take look at
the calf, and go homo sure that it's
took. " There is more demand for vac
cine at the present time than at any
previous period during the i've years
past.

Special Odnrs ufthe Orange.

The orange tree usually cultivated
for the perfume of its flowers is the
Bigarardier, the fruit of which is bitter
and non edible 1t is species unknown
in America. But of all kinds of nom
producing orange the Bcrgamot is real
ly the best. Its essence is the softest,
the most exquisite. The color of the
essence is clear green, which yellows
as it gets older. 1t is tho heaviest of
all the perfumes of the orange flower,
and the most cvanesccnt, unless care is
taken to change the flask or other YES
sci from time TO time, when it is found
to preserve lis odor tho longest. 1t
dissolves in alcohol at % degrees. The
essence is extracted in Sicily or at Reg
gio, opposite Messina, by the following
method: The men or women habituat-
ed to the operation take in the hand a
piece of the fine bark, which they COM
press with two fingers. In the other
hand they hold sponge with which
the oil is taken off by repeated applica-
tions. When the sponge is saturated
the oil is expressed into vessel ready
to receive it. The essence of bergamot
is employed in medicine to strengthen
the body or correct the odor of offensive
ingredients. 1t enters into various
odorous compounds and pomades, and
toilet waters are made of it. The bark
is also taken a little before maturity,
dried, and sold for variety of prepa-
rations.
Perfumers use it as the base of per.
fumed powders, 1t is considerably
used for preserves and bonbons. Or
ange leaves, especially those of the
bigararder or non-ediblc orange, are
gathered and used for infusions. The
trees are not despoiled especially for
this purpose, but only the branches or
twigs cut off in the process of care and
cultivation. They are dried in the
shade and then put on the market In
1913 dried orange leaves were sold at
20 francs to two hundred pounds, This
utilization of a product which can not
be used in the present state of the Or
ange culture in California is another il
lustration of the extreme economy of
the French agriculturist, which permits
nothing to be lost. Cor San Francisco
Chronicle.

Judge +. r. Hoar says that the
president is exactly right in his posi-
ton with regard to the senate's demand
for papers. When he was attorney
general under Grant, he took the same
view and refused unrequivocally to
yield to the senate. In fact there has
never beer in all American history a
president or cabinet officer who has
done what the senate demands. Nei-
Their Edmunds nor his followers in the
debate have been able to cite single
instance of the kind.
