Perfume.INakIng n the sOuth.

Since writing an article on flower
farming and perfume-making, several
months ago, a widespread interest in
this subject has been created. Expert
tnents are going on in various sections
South and North. This industry need
not be confined to the South by any
means, and 1t opens up to women and
children possible means Of easy and
lucrative employment of easy accom-
plishment,
DEMONSTRATING, to obtain an abunds
ant supply of odorous flowers for maxi
ing perfume, has been carried ON for
ages During the past two centuries
1t has been revived and improved in
Southern France, until that country
now holds almost q monopoly Of the
Work. Our Minister to France In 1885
urged the trial Of this enterprise in
America. Epurred on by his dcscrip-
ton, ] have read all the works could
lind upon the subject. / have writ
ten for various periodicals and have
replied to over two hundred letters
asking advice, | have succeeded In
enlisting the earnest assistance OF sem
sible, practical women from New
Hampshire to Louisiana. Prominent
perfumers to whom l submitted for
their crucial test samples of pomades
made by ladies possessed of meager
knowledge and tho crudest imple-
ments on one sample reported it to be
of superior grade.
Minister Mason cites ono instance
to prove the lucratiyeness of this
work, vis.s One Madame D'Estrange
owned seventeen acres of olives, yield
ing an annual rental of about $l15.
This being destroyed and planted to
tuberoses, violets, ionquils, roses and
mignonette, after four years yielded
nearly $4,000 net profit. In Florida
there Is already company which has
planted 200 acres in tuberoses. while
Jacksonville T. Moullie has not only
made the pomade, but has manufact-
ured a high grade of essen
tial oils therefrom, i. O., per-
fume. The houses required to
make perfume are expensive, but
the implements required to make
pomade are very simple, cheap and
within the reach of the humblest
purse, the only other requisite being
an abundance OF flowers. One lady in
New Hampshire has used 800 water
lilies daily in her experiment, which
yield from 224 per cent. down, while
roses yield about 1871 per cent. am
now growing three acres of tuberose
bulbs (about 100000, twice that
quantity of jonquils, and have engaged
10000 roots of violets, with the object
of further experimenting in this field
next season. Mrs. j. S. r. Thomson,

HERE AND THERE.

The first six weeks of the life of q

Warmth will do more at this season
than food to give the fall pigs start.
1t will soon be time for the ewes
to lamb and they require warm place,
1t should be provided now, when the
work can be done at leisure.
Prof Stubs, of the Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station, cautions Southern
farmers against investing in so-called
new varieties of cotton. In twenty-five
of these varieties he found there was
no decided difference.
Every new fact discovered about
the diseases OF farm animals, empha-
sizes that these diseases are owing to
impure drink from ponds and sluggish
creeks more than all other causes
combined.
During the winter is a good time
to arrange the fowl yard and coops
for spring. A good breeding coop is
necessary, one where the young poul-
try can be fed without interference
from the old poultry.
If provided with comfortable
shelter and we'll fed. ducks will begin
laying very early. They should not
be fed SO as to get too tat but it will
pay to feed sufficiently to keep in a
good condition.
Milk is one of the best feeds that
can be given to poultry. It can be
given to them to drink; be made into
curd and fed in this way or be mixed
with meal. bran or table scraps. For
young or old it can, in many cases, be
used with more profit than to feed to
the hogs,

Amusing lrdian Fables.

The Indians of North America had a
large stock Of stories resembling the
fables of Esop. They are stories of
animals, and many of them are in form
as II first told by animals, not unlike
that of the Georgia negro stories pop
ularized by Uncle Remus. Mr.. Gordon
reports the following from New Bruins
wick:
The clumsy butt OF all the other ami.
mails was always NIuween, the bear.
and the cleverest were the panther.
Shoks, and the fsher-marten, Pekouan.
but these had not the same rank with
the tortoise, who, 10 my surprise, was
considered the great lord and chief
among the beasts, although his awk-
wardness and helplessness led him into
many and unpleasant and ludicrous DO
sitions.
There was one very comical story of
his going out hunting, drawn on a sled
or tobbogan by two moose. OF course
he met with many misadventures. The
boughs swept him off his sled without
It's being perceived by his steeds; he got
entangled in creepers, and finally his
team became so tired of their load that
they made a hole for him in the ice,
and left him there. But by dint of
subtlety, he shot the moose OF which
they were in search, whilst his compan-
ions returned empty-handed. On an
other occasion he fell into the hands of
enemies, and escaped from them only
by a series of clever stratagcms.

Ike a Man.


There are foes for you to fght,
There are wrongs for you to right;
Do some good where'er you can,
And face your fortunes like a man.
Not for poverty or pride
From your duty turn aside;
But be ever In the van,
And face your fortunes like man.
Let no doubts your heart assalL
Let no fears that you may fail,
Interrupt your noble plan
To face your fortunes like a man.
Now's your time TO show your pluck;
Strive each day for better luck;
Threatening troubles lightly scan,
And face your fortunes like q man.
Other folks the prize may gain
You were anxious to obtain,
Join the disappointed clan,
And face your fortunes like o man.
Wear no frowns upon your face;
Poverty Is no disgrace;
Work-and do the best you can
To face your fortunes like a man.

She protests. but il is of no avail, until the
chief of the Imperial Tigers. who il in love
with the Pearl Of Pekin, concerts with the
two women measures to relieve him OF his
dire and bigamous responsibility. AND
finally it is arranged that the Pearl OF
Pekin shall assume the costume OF
Finette. the Frenchwoman, and the
latter shall assume hers in the final cere-
mony. In this way Ty-Foo, the mandarin
is deceived. But in the third act he dis
covers the impOsture that has been prac-
ticed upon him, and as, according 20 Chi-
nese laws. no one can have more than one
wife for fwenty-fOur hours after the cere-

as was testified by the enthusiastic ap-
plause ard the frequent recalls throughout:
The ladies were charmed with the feast OF
silks, Of color. and embroidery and the
rainbow-tinted satins which abounded on
the stage.
Mr.. Louis Harrison's impersonation Of
Mandarin Ty-FOo is the decided hit Of tue
piece. The girls are all shapely and win
some. Miss Aida Jenoure as the Pearl "
has a sweet voice, and is an excellent &C
tress. Miss Bertha Fisch as Finnette. the
wife Of the quartcrmaster, is pretty,
sparkling and as audacious as the VIVIAN
dier. which she is. ought 10 be. The four
French maids are pictures Of graceful mo-
ton and the eight lively soldiers and as

chorus. Mr.. Edward Webb as tie quarter
master, Mr. Gilbert Clayton as Sosorlkl,
Mr.. f. l.. Hill as Paul Mattiot, and Mr.;
John G. Leach as Sing High were All
that could be desired in their amusing rates.
Mr.. Harrison as Ty Foo is irTesistibly

buToonerv is pleasant because It bears no

THE PEARL OF PEKlN.
A Fine Production Witnessed by a Large
Audience.

Audience.
One Of the largest. most fashionable, and
critical audiences of the season, and which
included all our hrst-nighters, gave warm
and cordial reception 10 that charming
comic opera The Pearl of Pekin as
rendered by Rice's company at the
Academy Of Music last evening. This
opera has even more pronounced
flavor than Gilbert and Sullivans Mi
kado." 1t is full of bright humor and wit
ticisms. the music is melodious and catchy,
and the wardrobe is a magnificent display
of rich, gorgeous and picturesque cos
tunes from the rising to the gong down
of the curtain-in short. a revelation OF the
Oriental splendor Of the imperial court OF
Pekin on some great gala-day.
The plot of the opera tells OF young
Frenchman, the quartermaster OF man-of-
war stationed st Pekin, who happens TO
succor a Chinese maiden. whose father IS
the principal Mandarin Of Pekin. He has
n lively wife named Finette, who
keeps a restaurant on the docks for the
foreign soldiers and sailors. The quar-
termaster's name is Pierre, and upon res
cuing the Madarin's daughter he kisses
her. According 10 Chinese law any one
who has seen the uncovered face OF Chi
nese girl must marry her, or II obstacles
intervene must suffer death. La such a
dilemma the Frenchman is seized and car
