Rose Jars.

New EnSldnu arlner
"Gather yerosebuds while we may"
but better still, let them come into
full bloom and then preserve the
sweetness of their petals in a rose jar.
There is no more pleasant odor than
the scent of dried rose leaves, and it
is lasting as well as agreeable per-
fume. Gathering rose leaves was a
favored occupation for early summer
mornings and evenings by the dainty
women of olden time who could not
so well depend upon the chemist for
the extracts and powders with which
their descendants are familiar. And
now the old fashion is revived of
preparing a rose or pot -pourri jar and
everybody wants to know how to
make one.
The best time to gather the rose
leaves is early in the morning or late
in the evening. Have wide,
shallow basket and holding it under
the roses gently shake the petals from
those just ready to fall to pieces.
Spread sheet or clean white paper
in a warm, dry place and scatter the
leaves over it to dry, keeping each
days harvest by itself. Turn them
over every day and as the leaves
become dry put them away in an air.
tight jar (; a fruit jar is excellent for
the purpose. These dried leaves may
be put into small bags of silk or linen
and put among clothing, table and
bed linen, or if kept in the jar room
may be perfumed by shaking the jar
and then leaving it open few
hours.
The most popular way of making
rose jar is by allowing the leaves to
dry but few hours or until any dew
or rain upon them has evaporated.
Cover the bottom of a jar with leaves
and sprinkle with fine salt; add
another layer of leaves and then salt
and so on until the jar is full then
sprinkle well with pure cider vinegar
and close tightly. This jar left
uncovered in room will perfume it
in short time, and in a wardrobe or
bureau will be as effectiveas expensive
Sachet powder.
Another jar can be prepared using
leaves that have been dried
thoroughly by the method described.
The layers of leaves are sprinkled
with the oil of cloves, cinnamon,
lavender, lemon androsemary mixed.
Close the jar air tight. This is not so
distinctly a rose perfume, but is very
pleasant. The sweet-scented leaves
of other flowers and plants, such as
sWeet-scented geranium, lemon
verbena and even white clover,
which has delicate fragrance, can
be preserved like the rose petals,
with salt alone.
A rose jar intended for ornament
as well as use, may be of china, at
least two feet high, or itmay be short
and shaped like tea-caddy. There
are four hundred different styles of
jars imported and one may cost all
the way from ten cents to 5000, and
be a joy to its possessor provided it is
well filled and kept closely sealed
when not required for use.

The Department of Labor.

Scientific American.
The bill creating a National De-
partment of labor has become a law.
The head of the department will be
known as the Commissioner of Labor,
and his salary will be $4,000 a year.
He is to hold Office for four years.
The duties of the commissioner are to
acquire and diffuse among the peo-
pie of the United States information
connected with labor in themost gen
eral and comprehensive sense of the
word, and especially in relation to
capital, the hours Of labor, earnings
of working men and women, and
the means ofpromoting their mater
ial, social, intellectual, and moral
prosperity. 1t is especially charged
to ascertain, whenever industrial
changes will make it essential, the
cost of producing articles at the time
dutiable in the United States in lead
ing countries where such articles are
produced, under a Classification show
ing the different elements of cost of
such articles in production; to estab-
fish system of reports by which, at
intervals of not less than two years,
he can tell the general condition, so
far as production is concerned, of the
leading industries of the country. He
is also to investigate all controversies
and disputes between employers and
employees which may tend to inter
fere with the welfare of the people,
and report thereon to Congress. The
law virtually expands the present
Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is a
branch of the Interior Department,
into division of the government.
