''Are there any marked differences in
bass?s
''In general way they are divided
into tive classes called big and small
nouth bass, and no one should jump to
the conclusion that the big mouth
variety are the best biters. On the
contrary the bass with the small mouth
is the fish that tho angler delights in.
That is the fish that runs away with all
your line and tests the capacity of your
rod. Tlee big mouth bass lacks the
fighting qualities OF his cousin, and
bears about the same resemblance to
him that perch does to % trout. The
big mouth bass is usually found in in
land lakes, while the small mouthed
fighters seek the cooler and deepez
streams. He is fond OF currents and
eddies, and seems to delight in lying
close against bluff bank, where he will
seize unsuspecting minnows that come
his way"

The connection Of this disease with q

are not agreed as to its precise nature.
DR.. Meinert. of Dresden, Germany, has
been making careful investigations into
the subject, and thinks he has ascer-
tanned the following among other facts:
A high temperature with high wind is
not dangerous, but moderate tempera-
tlre without wind increases the number
of cases and the mortality. Hot days
without wind are the worst In .
period of uniform high temperature,
there is an increase Of heat IN the
dwellings by accumulation. and a cor
responding increase of mortality
Insufficient ventilation renders the
inside temperature much higher than
the outside, and so invites and aggra-

oisTILLING PERFUMES.
The Processes By Which the Most Delicate
Oaofs Are Obtafned.

The Processes BY Which the Most Delicate
Oaofs Are Obtafned.
Those dainty, delicate perfumes which
the superfne and the vulgar alike enjoy
are obtained in q very psosaic way.
They are produced in a land where the
flowers are perennial, but the process OF
manufacture include not only distilla-
ton and fermentation, but even boiling
in fat Consul Harris. writing from
Nice, where the manufacture is carried
on extensively. describes the processes.
In distillation the flowers are boiled in
an Theoretically sealed copper vessel.
The steam as it condenses in it's passage
through a spiral coil exudes the volatile
essence drop by drop and it is collected
in small glass vessel. The water in
the copper retains a small portion of the
scent and becomes the rose water %
orange-flower water o. trade. all flow
ers are not susceptible of this treatment
and those that are produce but minute
quantity, the orange flower. for instance,
giving but one gramme of essence for
one ki1o of flowers, or but &ne-thou-
sandth part.
The volatile essences ahus obtained,
combined and mixed S0rether with .
certain quantity of alcohol, are used in
the respiration and as the basis of eau
de cologne, toilet vinegar, lavender
water, etc.
The perfume from flowers which do
not contain the volatile essence is ex-
tracted by two processes In the first
Or cold process, cassie, jessamine, JON
quils, tuberoses, violets and some othee
flowers. freshly gathered, are placed
upon layer of pure lard quarter of an
inch in thickness spread over glass
trays. The flowers are changed every
twelve. eighteen. or tweaty-four hours,
according to circumstances, until the
lard is sufficiently charged with per-
fume. Jessamine and tuberose are
changed as often as fifty times. and the
other flowers from twenty to thirty
times. When the hot process is resorted
to grease is placed in a copper vessel,
together with the flowers, and the COM
pound is boiled. Additional flowers are
added from time to time until the fat
has absorbed the requisite amount of
perfume. By another process the per
fumes are extracted from the fats and,
by blending these with the different
essences the numerous scents are OBJ
tanned. Certain perfumes which are Of
great use in the manufacture of scents
can only be obtained by the fermenta-
ton of fruits, flowers and roots.-Pall
