the essential oil of peppermint is made? Lyons.
Wayne Co., n, Y, is the supreme manufacturing
place of this necessary ingredient in so much con-

The method employed for extracting the oil is by
distillation. allowing jet of steam to pass thro'

crate and moist climate of the region above
named gives the plant the mildness of fragrance
for which it is priced, and conduces to the houn-

"A New Church Proposed.
MRS. NJ. c. HICKMAN,

Miss Frances f. Willard says and does so
many wise and good things, and has such a
large and devo ed following. that it is unfortun-
ate she sometimes makes mistakes and danger
ous suggestions. One of these is found in her
annual address at New York City, delivered a
little over a year ago. After censuriug the
churc hes generally for refusing women greater
- ivf1ares and responsibilities, she devotes spe-
ci,l attention to the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for refusing to re-
caive the women who were duly eiected.'' Sne
forrets to state all the facts in the case in her
address which is circulated where these may

Sta tiSticS as to HuHchbacks.

Ten years ago a remarkable charac-
over France and the greater part of all
Europe as The Learned Hunchback. :"
He was very wealthy, and spent a mint
of money in the last fifty years of his
life, travelling in all directions max
ing researches concerning his hunch-
backed brethren. 1t was in the mild
er portions of Europe that he found
the misfortune the most prevalent.
Spain supplied the greater number, and
in a circuInscribed locality at the foot
of the Sierra Morena he found that
there was one humpbacked person to
every thirteen inhabitants. They were
also found to be quite numerous in the
valley OF the Loire in France. The lit
tie humpbacked statisticiau came 10
the conclusion that there was one
humpback in every 1000 inhabitants,
or an aggregate of 1, 600, 900 against the
estimated thousand millions of the en-
tire earth.
After the death of this eccentric in
dividual his heirs found in place of a

last page, although it said nothing
about the disposition of property, eX-

hump of marble raised over his grave,
with this inscription: 'Here lies
humpback who had a taste for humps,
and who knew more about them than
any other humpback."
