The Manufacture Of Perfume.

In the manufacture ofperfumes art has i'm
proved on nature, and the perfumer must be
a good chemist. Such odors as Jockey Club"
"West End" "Millefieurs" and a host OF
others have no counterpart in garden or
grove The delicate heliotrope, for instance,
is scarce and Improbable to the perfumer.-
He detects in its odor, however, the aroma of
vanilla combined with the sharper scent of
bitter almonds. Therefore he adds 10 the
tincture of vanilla small quantity of the otto
of bitter almonds and rose and orange flower
essences, and thus easily makes extracts of
heliotrope.
The magnolia perfume is initiated without
using the flower at all, which is too large to
macerate with success. Indian lemon grass
likewise gives Extract of Vcrbena." With
the rose as foundation, and dash ofverbe-
ma, the perfume of the delicate and fleeing
"Sweetbriar" is obtained. Many of the spices
enter into the making ofperfumes with high
sounding names:

An Old Song Revised.

"a boy attending one ofour public schools
came home the other day humming school
song" said Commissioner Allen to Utice
IN. W Observer reporter. "The tune attract
ed the fathers attention. and he asked him
to sing the song. The boy did 30. 1t was q
rollicking sailor song, and in the chorus,
keeping time with the tap of the parents
boot the boy sang: "Well fill our bowls and
eat the toast" At this point the father
stopped him and asked where he had learned
the song. The boy replied that he had learn,
ed it at school. Il once knew that song"
said the father, "but l never knew it ran !:
"We'll fill our bowls and eat the toast" 1T

Succeeding Decades.

DR.. Wendell Holmes, in his latest essay
points out how every decade is the defence
of the one next behind it. At thirty the
youth has sobered into manhood, but the
strong men of forty rise in almost unbroken
rank between him and the approaches of old
age as they show in the men of fifty. At for
ty he looks with sense of security at the
strong men of fifty, and sees behind them the
row of sturdy sexagenarians. When fifty is
reached, somehow sixty does not look so old
as it once used to, and seventy is still afar
off At sixty the stern sentence of the burial
service seems TO have meaning that one did
not notice in former years. There begins to
be something personal about it. But if one
lives to seventy he soon gets used to the text
with the threescore years and ten in it, and
begins to count himself among those who by
reason of strength are destined to reach four
score, of whom he can see number still in
reasonably good condition. The octcgenar-
ian loves 10 read about people of ninety and

Laces Of England.

Ia England peasant women still 60 about
peddling the lace which they make as they
walk along the road A Buckipghamshire
woman was, when / saw her, working along
the road, and when she applied to me | set
her at work in the kitchen, where in two
days she made me twelve yards of some pref
ty two-inch lace.
She told me some of her knowledge OF
"Catterns day." and how they have as in
Northampton, a custom of sending and Civ
ing "Catterns's cakes" in honor of the Queen,
and that in places, too, where the lace max
ing is nearly extinct. When Katharine of
Arragon burned her laces to give an order for
new to the poor, all the ladies of the court
! followed her example, and the lace trade re-
vived the hopes and the hearts of the humble
pupils.
A lady writes: "ln tina palmy days of
trade"-this was in Bedfordshire old
and young subscribed to a sum of money
to buy cakes, and all after their repast dane
ed and made merry, and at night they had a
supper of boiled stuffed rabbits, smothered in
onions"
In Buchinghamshire children were put to
the lace school at the age of five years, at the
age of eleven were self-supporting, and old
men-even young men when they could get
no other trade-made their existence by it.
The lace made at Newport Pagnal has re-
ceived the highest praises of any Bucking-
hamshire lace and in the eighteenth century
was said to be wrought to as great perfection
as the lace of Flanders. These English laces
are very much admired by French women,
who at the present day wear more English
thread lace than the English themselves.
This fact has been observed by many travel
lers, and know of my own experience that
the shops in French Canada keep good as
sortment of real English laces, and that one
in particular in Notre Dame street, Montreal,
has larger array than any have seen in
much larger London shops. l got some
beautiful English thread lace there-a lace
much liked by the French gentlewomen Of
Canada-that have not been able to match
in London. 1t is not expensive; it is very
desirable, and hope that some one with in
fluence may revive the taste for it to be ia
shion. The narrow lace in fine linen makes
the most recherche ruff1ing one could desire.

Properly Planted and Cared-fOr
Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pref
tiest Fence I'm the World.

We claim the following advantages for our
Hedge: 1t is the cheapest fence made. 1t is the
most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.
Floods do not wash it away. 1t does not decay.
Stock cannot rub it down. 1t protects itself. 1t
stops sheep dogs and trespassers. 1t takes but
little room. You can cultivate close to 1t. 1t
lasts for generations. No new material needed
for repairs. 1t is ornamental to the farm. 1t is
mule high, bull strong and pig tight.
The farmer prepares the ground and works the
plants as he would corn. We do the rest and
guarantee a good fence, keeping it in order for
you afterwards at trifiing cost.
Usage Orange Hedge Fences are no expert

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely. sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; TO know that no poisonous, putrid matter
defiles the breath and rots away the delicate
machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel
that the system does not, through its veins and
arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to un-
dermine and destroy, is indeed blessing be-
yond all other human enioyments. To pur-
chase immunity from such fate should be the
object of all afflicted. But those who have
tried many remedies ahd physicians despair Of
relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold TO the
most loathsom me and destructive stages. 1t is
local and constitutional. Instant in relieving,
permanent in curing, safe, economical and
never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CA

sficisl reception given by the head of the
present administration.
Certainly never before has there been at a
White House reception such a large and
distinguished representation from the other
nations of tine world. This was due to the
presence, in addition to the large diplomatic
and consular officers OF other countries, of
the delegates to the International Martin :
Conference and the delegates to the Pan
American Conference. The presence of these
distinguished foreigners was naturally the
leading feature of the reception.
AN INSPIRING SCENE.
The mansion had been specially prepared
for the occasion, and, when the reception
was at its height, presented a spectacle of
unusual beauty and splendor. The full
Marine Band, in gay uniforms of red and
blue, was stationed in the vestibule Just in
side the main entrance, and, with but few
intermissions, played lively and inspiring
music from the time the President took his
stand at the head of the receiving line in
the Blue Parlor until the last of the callers
had taken his departure, period of little
over three hours.
The interior decorations while not elab-
orate, were very effective consisting of a
liberal distribution of tropical and flower
ing plants in all places where they could be
displayed to advantage. The general effect
was also heightened by the brilliant illumi-
nation of all the parlors, the bright gaslight
being reflected from myriads of irridescent
crystals and numerous French plate glass
mirrors. Tall India rubber plants, mingled
with delicate ferns and ivy, lined the main
corridor and filed every alcove.
PLANTS IN PROPULSION.
In the East Room, opposite the corridor.
was large bank of tropical plants tasteful.
ly arranged, reaching nearly TO the ceiling,
and the many broad mantels of the East
Room were ornamented with choice plants

in gilded pots. The Red and Green Parlors
also contained a profIsion of plants and
flowers, but the Blue Parlor, where the re.
ception was actually held, gave indication of
having received the greater share OF atten-
ton from the decorators.
In this room, in addition to liberal dis
play Of rare plants, ferns and smi1ax, there
was q profusion Of cut flowers, including
roses, poinsettas, tulips, camelias, hya-
cinths, azslias, carnations, japonicas and
beg0nias. These were banked in bright de-
signs upon the mantels, and served to form
huge bouquet on the central divan.
The large doorway at the back of tine room
was concealed by q number of tall large
leaTed plants, which formed a beautiful
background tor the receiving party. The
reception proper did not begin until IL
O'Clock, but the Vice President and the
members Of the Cabinet, with the ladies of
their families, arrived shortly before that
hour and were shown directly into the
Presidents presence in the private parlor
upstairs.
THE PERFORMANCE BEGINS.
When everything was in readiness, the
President and partysdescended 10 the Blue
Parlor and took their places in line. The
Marine Band signslled their arrival with
the extremely familiar air. "Hsil to the
Chief"
The party entered the blue room in the
following order; Colonel Ernest and Lieu
tsnsnt Parker, Q. S. n; the President and

Colonel Ernest, of the army, and Lieuten-
ant Parker, of the navy, acted as masters Of
ceremonies, the former making the presen-
tations to the President, except in case of
special presentations, and the latter repeat
ing the introductions to Mrs. Mckee, who
occupied the place next to the President.
The other ladies assisting were ranged next
in order as follows: Mrs. Morton, Mrs.
Window, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Wanamaker,
Mrs. Tracy, Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Rusk.
The toilets of the ladies were singularly rich
and becoming, and were greatly admired on
all sides.
THE TEMPORARY FIRST LADY.
Mrs. Mckee wore beautiful dress of
white armene silk. with square neck and
full elbow sleeves, made La Martha Wash
ington, Che front being embroidered in

were diamonds. Her manner was gracious
and cordial, and added to her delicate
beauty, created q decidedly favorable i'm
preston. She carried large bouquet of
Catherine Mermot roses, and followed the
example of her mother in acknowledging
general introductions by a bow instead Of
by shaking hands.
The President, however, adhered to pre-
cedent and shook hands with each one of
the thousands who called. Back of the
receiving line were a large number of
specially invited friends, including nearly
all the debutantes of the season.
The members of the diplomatic corps were
first received. They were presented by Sec
retary Blaine. assisted by other officials of
