Russia's Industrial Progress.

A great impetus has been given to
Russian industries within the last ten
or fifteen years. Thus, in 1875, all the
cotton mills of that country contained
about 100000 spindles. while there
are now, according to the latest reports,
! 1000, OO) spindles, divided between
sixty-seven mills. The number of cot
ton weaving establishments in Russia
is said to be 4S8. giving employment to
more than $4,000 hands. the total an
nuA production being estimated at S..
10000 rOubles. There are also sixty
eight mills for spinning wooden warn.
employing nearly 5000 hands, and
producing goods every year valued at
between five and six million roubles.
The carpet manufacture employs some
800 hands, with a product valued at
half million roubles or more while 100
works. averaging 100 operatives each.
are engaged in producing light wooden
tissues. The flax industry is also pros
porous, and there are twenty-four
spinning mills. in which 21,OOO hands
are employed, and which have nearly
100000 spindles. Silk manufacturers
have been greatly developed and i'm
proved of late years. The province of
Moscow counts about $50 silk factories.

BuIlfrogs as Bird-Eaiers.

Once while out after snipe. not far
from Montreal, Canada, with Mr..
Frank Livingston, well known sports
man of Toronto, we suddenly came
upon a spot where some dozen birds or
so were scattered about feeding. Mo-
tioping to Frank to get ready, we both
raised our guns and fired Simultaneous
ly, Frank killing two and myself one.
My snipe was knocked over into the
water and what was my surprise when,
on reaching the bank to secure him,
saw an enormous bullfrog shoot sud-
denly from the water, seize my game
and make off with it under my very
nose. To say l was fabbergasted or
thunderstruck would be mild way of
expressing establishment at the au-
dacity of this marine robber, but rails
ing my gun and taking rapid aim let
him have a charge of No. 8, which
effectually stopped him in his plumber
ing career. He had swallawed whole
the legs, body and all but the head of
a snipe one-half the size of himself.
While returning one summer afternoon
from beach bird shooting on the shores
of Long Island. a companion shot a
bank swallow, which fell on the margin

column of troops appeared in the valley
below us, coming from the right-a mere
dark streak upon the white snow, but no
one in the battery could tell whether they
were friends or foes, and the commander
hesitated about opening fire. But now an

sweeT-sCENTEp NOTES.
A Glance Into Some of the Secrets of the
Perfumer's Art.

Perfumer's Art.
The export of find perfumery is prin-
cipally from Grasse, Nice, Cannes and
Bremen. The business is divided into
two parts. The manufacturer extracts
from the flowers their essential oils.
The perfumer buys these oils, pomades
and extracts, and compounds them in
several ways. Only about a dozen of
al the fragrant flowers in the world
are used in the manufacture of per-
fumery, viz: The violet, rose, orange
flower, jasmine, tuberose, cassia, laven-
der, thyme, rosemary, geraniums. jon
quill and fennel. The rose and the
orange are the most valuable. Of the
numerous varieties of the rose, only
one is used-the Provence rose, single.
pale, pink, the most sweet smelling of
roses; not hardy. Picking for per-
fumery occurs in almost every month
Of the year.
It is a paradoxical fact in the bust
ness that the bitter orange yields the
best blossoms for perfumary. One ton
of blossoms yields two pounds eight
ounces of oil neroli. The fruit of the
bitter orange yields very fine essen
tial oil, bigarade. 1t is used in many
scents. The orange tree, cultivated
for its oil, lasts, with care, over
two hundred years. One ton of
the distilled leaves of the scented
verbena geranium yields from twenty
four to thirty ounces of the essential
oil. The flowers of the jasmine are
picked just after sunset in July, and in
the morning, as soon as the dew is off,
in August. The jasmine is peculiarly
delicate flower. Its essential oil is so
volatile that it can not be extracted by
distillatiOn, the heated water decOm-
posing it so that only faint tinge Of
the perfume is left in the water that
passes through the refrigerant. Like
the jasmine, the oil of the tuberOse
can not be extracted by distillation.
The perfume of the cassia is much
used in compounds. The process of
manufacturing perfumes is in itself
very interesting, especially to the
ladies. A ton of roses yields only two
ounces of the altar, Ottar or otto. II
kept at temperature below 600 altar
crystallizes; if kept open to the air and
light it is easily volatilized. Perfumed
oils are made by putting fresh quanti-
ties of flowers into the finest of virgin
olive oil. from twenty to thirty differ
ent times. The essential oil of flowers
has strong affinity to lard or grease.
The latter, rendered as white as snow,
is perfectly saturated with the flowers.
The process is repeated MANY times.
In this way we have pOmade of rose,
orange. cassia and violet. The affinity
of the perfume of flowers for alcohol is,
however, stronger than that for grease.
Pomades, immersed in alcohol, are rem
dered into extracts, the grease leaving
the perfume. Troy IN. W Times.

In Order to Thrive, Little Ones Must Be

Happiness is the natural condition of
every normal child, and if the small
boy or girl has a peculiar facility for
any one thing it is for self-entertaln-
ment; with certain granted conditions.
OF course. One of these is physical
freedom and few rude and simple
playthings. Agreeable occupation is
as great necessity for children as for
adults. and beyond this almost nothing
can be contributed to the real happi-
ness of child.

"Why, she simply lets her children

practicable, upon their own resources,

How to Cure the Gapes.

When large number of chicks have
gapes it is a difficult task to handle
each one separately so as to force a
feather tip, or horse hair into the
windpipe in order to pull out the
thread-like cape worms, though such
is the usual practice, as cures are not
always reliable without physical aid
The best remedy is to give each chick
a drop of spirits of turpentine on a
bread crumb. If the chicks are nu-
merous, mix teaspoonful of spirits OF
turpentine with quart of corn meal,
make into a stiff dough and feed to the
chicks. A Wholesale method of curing
gapes is to put the chicks in box
with wire partition; on one side OF
the partition the chicks are to be
placed and on the other side of the
wire a hot brick or stone. Pour a
little carbolic acid on the hot brick.
shut the lid of the box and compel the
chicks to breathe the fumes OF the
carbolic acid 1t will cure the gapes
at once, but care must be taken not to
suffocate the chicks. This remedy is
also excellent for roup, or where adult
fowls are suffocating with the we'll
known difficult breathing. Once Or
twice at practice will enable you to
handle the chicks just as it should be.
To prevent gapes, keep the chicks on
clean, board floors. and Fire

THE NAVY IN WHITE.
American War Vessels to Have Color All
Their Own.

Their Own.
The vessels of the United States navy
are hereafter to be painted white. The
order was received at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and every one who heard
the news was delighted to think that
at last the American navy was to have
distinct color of its own.
The cause of the order has been the
satisfaction arising from painting the
Boston and Yorktown white. The new
order reads in substance that in future
when iron and steel vessels are to be
painted the hull above the water line
on the outside and all paint work on
the inside shall be painted white. The
masts, yards, head, booms, doublings
of masts, and tunnels shall be painted
a straw-yellow color. the paint for
which is to be prepared by the Bureau
of Construction and Repair. With a
view to economy the other vessels of
the new navy not now painted white
will not be painted until their present
coat of black becomes shabby.
1t has been found that iron and steel
vessels when painted black have been
unnecessarily hot, and to do away with
this scomfort as we'll as to improve
the looks of the vessel white has been
decided upon as the color for the navy.
Especially is this cOlcr considered
serviceable one when cruisers are doing
duty in tropical climates. The coat of
white will do much to prevent the alb
sorption of heat that these vessels are
liable to. and thereby greatly increase
the comfort of officers and crew and
improve the sanitary condition of the
vessel.-N. Y. Times.

Lie of the Loco Weed.

No other plant in the fora of Texas has
exjoyed a greater notoriety than the ia
nous loco" or crazy weed" Popular
superstition has accredited it with a most
remarkable property, and that is. the
power of producing insanity in man and
beast. Botanically, the plant is known
as Astragalus molissimus The extrava
CANT stories that have been told about it
recently led Mr. James Kennedy to inves
tigate its properties and determine what
physiological phenomena result from it's
action.
As the result of his investigations and
his experiments upon animals feeding in
pastures, Mr. Kennedy finds conclusively
that the plant is non toxic and innocu
GUS and possesses none of the properties
long ascribed to it by popular snpersti
ton He thinks that the immense de
struction of stock with which it has beer
charged may have been caused by some
poisonous plant heretofore unsuspected
or if the loco" really has produced death
it has done so by reason of the tough
fibrous and indigestible character of the
plant acting as an irritant, and not as 6
poison. American.

TIE zlNGAR, RACE.
Homes of the Mysterious People Who
Wander About the Earth.

Homes of the Mysterious People who
Wander About the Earth.
There is fascination about Gypsy
lore" which is perhaps increasingly
felt now that these nomadic insurgents
are being gradually-slowly, it may
be, but surely-absorbed by the en-
vironing civilization. The altered
conditions of modern society make
their wandering life more difficult,
their language is invaded by gaujo
elements, mixed marriages alternate
the strenth of Romany blood, and
dotted over the map of Europe there
are now little stationary colonies of
house-dwelling gypsies, who no longer
take the road or /" fold their tents like
the Arabs"
The gypsies have been clearly visi-
BILE in Europe for four centuries and a
half. They have been the Ishmaelites
of the modern world. If at the pre-
sent day the law has ceased to treat
them harshly, the social pressure Is
probably greater, so that it is
now or nevec for those who
wish to make scientific
study of these wanderers. A volume
entitled, 1.-The Gypsies," by Adrian A.
COlOcci, forms an excellent introduce
ton to such study. The persecu-
tons of the Zingari have been many
and bitter. Even in the last century
they were accused of cannibalism! To
their foreign appearance and strange
mode of life they added the practice of
arts that were regarded as irreligious
and heathenish.
It will be news to many to learn that
it was not until 1856 that. by the abo-
lition of ROmany slavery in Dacia, the
freedom of the Zingari in Europe was
completed. Colocci agrees with other
observers in regarding the gypsies as
practically destitute of religion, al
though willing to adopt nominally the
prevailing faith of any country in
which they may be sojourners. In
England they are Protestants, in Tur-
key Mohammedans. Morally they are
unframed children, Indifferent to
every thing but the satisfaction IF the
desire of the moment, whether that
desire be the offspring of love, or
greed, or hate.
While there is but little gypsy
poetry among the English tribes, the
''gift and faculty divine" appears pro-
fusely both in Spain and in the re-
morter parts of Europe; and one of the
most interesting portions of the book
is that which gives specimens of the
ROmany muse. The pieces are mostly
short, often strange in form, but not
infrequently inspired by genuine poetic
! feeling This sometimes finds express
ion in modes so unexpected as to have
almost the quality of genius. The
/ gypsy sings the beauty of his sweet
heart, apostrophizes the sun and stars
with heather fervor, and celebrates
the success of the knavish ruses by
which he has gained IN advantage
over the busno. Filial affection, also.
finds place in his songs. While he
shops the frankest enjoyment of the
material side of life, there is often a
spirit of profound melancholy mani
tested in these lyrics. The Zingari
have always been famous for their
love of music. The estimate which
gives the gypsy race a million souls
is probably far below the truth
