ABOUT SWEET DOORS.
They Are Of Three Kinds, and Hsvs ~.
ways Boon Loved by Man.

They Are Of Three Kinds, and Hsvs Al.
ways Boon Lovsd bv Man.
From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet doors. In the Bible we
read OF the burning Of inceDsA on the
altars, and the very word perfumery
under which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smells) comes from
the Latin tunnus, smoke or vapor.
The early Egyptians knew the use Of
tho still, and adopted 1t to the separa-
ton Of the odorous principle from fra.
grant plants, but the most ancient odors
were drawn from natural gums, such az
camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
Sweet odors are Of three kinds-ths
floral, the aromal and the balsamic.
The first group includes all those de.
rived from sweet-smelling flowers and
plants; the second, those derived from
musks and resins; the third, those de-
rived from leaves and gums. The otto.
or essential oil Of perfumes, is obtained
In three several ways-distilliatio
maceration and enflourage. w.,
In distillation, the odorous principle
is purified and separated from the
grosser parts by evaporation and subse.
quent condensation. An essential oil,
or otto. thus procured from orange flow
ers bears in commerce to this day the
name of Neroll, named after and dat
ing from time of the Emperor Nero.
In maceration, the primary substance
is softened by pounding, and then dis
solved by sleeping in liquid, usually al
coholic.
In enfourage, the odors are extracted
by immersing the flowers or plants in
grease. The fat absorbs the odors, and
toremove it the fat is placed in alcohol;
the odor then leaves the fat and enters
into the spirit, which thus becomes
scented.
In the manufacture of perfumes art
has improved on nature, and the per-
fumer must be good chemist. Such
odors as Jockey Club, West End, Mile
deur and a host of others have no
counterpart in garden or grove.
Indian lemon grass likewise gives
''extract of verbena." With the rose as
foundation, and a dash of verbena,
the perfume of the delicate and feeting
SWcoC.Drler Is ODCal0eQ.
OF the animal substances, ambergris,
the secretion of the spermaceta whale,
gives mellowness and permanency to
mixtures. Civetr . secretion of the Afri-
can and Indian cat, has an odor harm
onizing with floral compounds.
Musk is found in the small pocket or
pouch of the musk deer of China, Ton
quin and Thibet. It is so powerful,
aromatic and persistent, that one part
of musk will scent more than 5000
parts of inodorous powder.
OF the spice series, caraway and nut
meg are largely used, and cloves enter
into many perfumes with high-sound-
ing names. Cinnamon or cassia is
largely used. Cinnamon or cassia is
the bark of tree. Cassia comes from
China, the true cinnamon from Ceylon,
and the two odorous grasses are natives
of India; one is known as the ''lemon
grass" from which all our extract of
verbena" and ''verbena water" are
made, little addition of lemon essence
making the counterfeit complete
