49,, 1900, ~
The introduction of leprosy into the
United States must be stopped and the
terrible disease stamped out at once, or
it will be the most unmanageable of all
epidemics that ever visited our land.
There is no longer any question of it's
being communicable. The lepers have
invaded British Columbia, and had such
free access t 0 the Indians that the whole
race of red men is infected. The antag-
onism to Chinese immigration will be
more widespread than ever, and will be
based on something besides race preju-
dice 1t would be far better to stop
q Y ananh AGAINST ~ yellow fever y and
quickly, leprosy devours its victims with
a living death. When will our authori-
ties get well aroused to appreciate the
danger that is coming upon us2-St. Louis

a fs,Iaco of Salt.

The people of Salt Lake City are con-
~templating the erection of a great "Salt
Palace" 1t would be a structure that
would lay in the shade all the ice and
corr palaces ever constructed. The main
part of the structure could be of the finest
specimens of rock salt to be found in the
quarries, chiseied, carved and artistically
arranged; while the interior fittings
should be of crystallized work from the
lake on a grand scale. Such a palace
should be permanent if properly pro-
tected from the winter rains; it could be
made of the most unique and striking
style of architecture; it could be made
one of the wonders of the world. When
lighted by electricity the structure would
have all the sparkle and diamond glitter
of the great ice palaces, and with the
difference in the salt palaces favor. the
heat would not melt or dim its glories in
the least.-Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

Boston,s PRINCIPAL Street.

An Omaha man recently arrived in
Boston at the Boston and Albany station.
The streets of his native city are laid out
with regularity, it is well to state, and
are of u width commensurate with west
ern layishness. The man from Omaha
entered a hack and asked to be driven to
one of the leading down town hotels.
The driver proceeded, IS had been his
wont for years, and had nearly reached
his destination when these words from
the carriage window greeted him with
considerable force and abruptness: Look
here, driver; I'm tired of being driven
through all these alleys. You've done
nothing but go through them ever since
we started. Now, get right o to one Of
the ~boulevards so we can get ahead
The driver had enough self possession to
stammer In reply: why, sir, this is
Washington street, our principal street. /"

On one occasion it came to Mr.. Tenny-

ing behind trees ON either side of the
drive, presumably to have a look at him
when he went out for his ueual walk.
Lord Tennyson, at once seeing a chance
of some FUN, called in his gardener, an
old man. He told MIN of the two men,
and made him put on his velvet coat and
wide awake hat. Then the old man
sailed forth and made his way to the
drive, down which he walked as though
in deep meditation. He had not gone
very far when he heard a mans voice
coming from behind, with a strong
Yankee twang, say: snow I've seen

In a bergamot essence establishment at

Corn and Cob Crusher) 1t should be
borne in mind that the bergamot is
spherical in shape; this machine could
not be used on the lemon, on account of
it's (the lemon's) shape A thermo-pneu-

sour orange, to the bergamot and to the
Mandarin. But very small quantity of
essence of Mandarin is made, and but
slight attention is paid to the extracting
of essence from the orange flowers. The
essence extracted from the flower of the
bergamot is called "neroli,' and is worth
$35 per pound.

clay soil yield more essence and juice than
those grown on sandy or rocky soil.
Dealers sometimes adulterate their
essences with fixed oils, alcohol or tur-
pentine. Adulteration by fixed oils is de-
tected by pouring few drops of essence
on sheet OF paper and heating it; upon
the evaporation of the essence a greasy
spot will remain. Alcohol is detected by
pouring few drops of the essence into a
glass tube in which small quantity of
chloride of lime has been dissolved; the
tube is then heated and well shaken, and
it's contents being allowed to settle, the
essence will float on the denser liquid.
To detect turpentine, pour few drops of
essence on writing paper, and a strong
smell of turpentine will remain after the
essence has evaporated. The essence Of
sour orange mixed with the essence Of
lemon produces an aroma similar to that
Of the essence OF bergamot. The latter
is much used by confectioners in flavor

ESSENCES.
The method employed in Sicily for ex-
tracing essence Essential oily from the
peel of the lemon, the sweet and sour or
ange and the bergamot, is as follows:
With three strokes of his sharp knife
the cutter peels the lemon lengthwise and
let's the peel fall into a tub under the
chopping block He then cuts the lemon
in two and throws it from his knife into
basket. He works with wonderful rap
idity and fills from ten to twelve tubs
with peel a day and=is paid cents tub,
weighing seventy seven pounds. His left
hand and right index are protected with
osnaburgs or leather. Decayed fruit is
not peeled as it's oil cells, being gatrophied,
yield no essence. Fresh peel is soaked in
water fifteen minutes before the essence
is extracted. Peel that has stood day
or two should remain in soak thirty to
forty. minutes, that it may swell and Of
fer a greater resistance when pressed
against thesponge. Theoperative holds
small sponge in his left hand against
which he presses each piece OF peel two or
three times, simple pressure followed by
rotary pressure. The women, employed
in this work, run piece of cane through
their sponges to enable them to hold them
more firmly The outside of the peel is
pressed against the sponge as the oil
glands are in the epicarp. The crushing
of the oil cells liberates the essence therein
contained The sponge when saturated
with the essenceis squeezed into an earth
enware vessel the operative holds in his
lap. He is expected to press the peel SO
thoroughly as not to overlook a single
cell. This is ascertained by holding the
pressed peel to the flame OF candle;
should it neither crackle nor diminish the
brilliancy of the fame thece are empty.
This process yields besides the essence a
small quantity OF juice and feccia (dregs).
The. separation of the essence, juice and
feccia soon takes place if the vessels are
not disturbed; the oil floats on the juice
and the dregs fall to the bottom. These
three products derived from the peelhave
no affinity with each other. AS the es-
sence rises to thesurface tits skinned of,

People are too rough in their treatment OF
the hair, especially those who have long hair
Care should be taken to avoid breaking the
hair. It should be combed gently with a
very coarse rubber or tortoise shell comb,
the latter is the best. Never use brush of
any kind. They only irritate tho scalp need
lessly. Keeping tho scalp perfectly clean is
the most important thing. Shampoo the head
once a week. Produce strong lather and
clean tho whole scalp thoroughly. Then rinse
with clean water-soft water preferred. Now
press tho water from the hair with a dry
towel, taking care not TO rub and break the
hair, and fan it until it is dry. Wait until
the hair is perfectly dry before combing it,
and then handle il rs gently as possible.
At night braid my hair and twist it into
a knot; then put light silk cap over 1t to
prevent lint from getting into the hair, and
to avoid mussing and breaking the hair
People with hair that is continually falling
out, or even those that are completely bald,
can got a good growth of hair by attending
to it properly. Wearing tho hair done up in
tight coil is injurious, and wearing false
hair of any kind interferes with the growth
Of the real hair At times a stimulant Is
needed to soften the skin and nourish and
strengthen tho roots of the hair, but powders
and hair oil should never be used, as they
clog the hair with grease, render it sticky and
musty and obstruct the pores Of the scalp.
All kinds of hair dyes and chemicals for
bleaching the hair are injurious. They de
stroy the vitality Of THO hair, give it a dead
look and cause it to fail out early.-Naomi

one. She is fenced round with all sorts of re-
strictions and formalities. She has no free

the apartment she occupies, in the fact that
she cannot go outside her home without the
consent Of her husband, and in the elaborate
arrangements which are made to secure her
privacy on journey-that her husband has
been taught to regard her as one who is not
to be implicitly trusted. Shut out by her ig-

from the employment Of her mind and hands
in work. she can only waste her days in friv-

from conversation with her husband except
in her own chamber, and by her want of edu-
cation from sharing in his thoughts and from
being his confidential companion. she feels
that she is little nlore to him than a slave
