THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
How Perfumes Are Made at Nice in the
Land of Perennial Flowers.


Those dainty, delicate perfumes which
the superfne and the vulgar alike, enjoy
are obtained in Ia very prcsaic way. They
are produced in a land where the flowers
are perennial, but t ne processes of manu-
faCture include not only distillation and fer
mentation, but even boiling in fat A gen
tleRan writing from Nice, where the man
ufacture is carried on extensively, de
scribes the process. In distiiiation the
flowers are boiled in an Dramatically sealed
copper vessel. The steam as it condenses
in its passage through a spiral coil eXudes
the volatile essence drop by drop, and it is
collected in q small glass vessel. The wa
ter in the copper retains small portion Of
the scent and becomes the rose water or
orange flower water of trade. All flowers
are not susceptible of this treatment, and
these that are produce but q minute guam
tity, the orange flower, for instance, Civ
ing but one gramme of essence for one
kilo of flowers, or but one-thousandth
part.
The perfume from flowers which do not
contain the volatile essence Is extracted by
two processes. In the first or cold process,
cassie, jasmine, jOnquils, tuberoses, vio-
lets and some other flowers, freshly gath
cred, are placed upon a layer of pure lard,
a quarter of an inch in thickness, spread
over glass trays. The flowers are changed
every twelve, eighteen or twenty-four
hours. according 70 circumstances, until
the lard is sufficiently charged with per-
fume. Jasmine and tuberose are changed
as often as fifty times, and the other flowers
from twenty TO thirty tames. Whom the
hot process is resorted to grease is placed
IN copper vessel together with the flow
ers and the compound is boiled. Add
tiOnal flowers are added from time to time
until the fat has absorbed the requisite
amount Of perfume. By another process
the perfumes are extracted from the fats,
and by blending these with the different
essences the numerous scents are obtained.
Certain perfumes which are of great use in
the manufacture of scents can only be OBJ
tanned by the fermentation of fruits, flow
and roots

gowns The silk petticoats are altogether
charming made in black silk, with pinlled

insertion.
Tea Jackets in pale blue silk and pink
crepe have pulled sleeves, high collars and
a profusiOn of lace. The muslin morning
gowns show the same lavish display Of
lace, embroidery and ribbon, but there is
no very decided novelty in the make.
The brides dress depicted in our cut is
of white satin duchesse and IS ornamented
with bands Of white ostrich feathers, which
are carried over the hem Of the front Of the
skirt and down the right side as a chate-
laine. Tufts OF ostrich tips are combined
with sprays and trails of orange blossoms,
which gracefully loop up the folds of the
skirt and cross the bodice. The full front
is in China crepe, with frilling of white
lace round the V shaped bodice, wrists and
oval shaped train. The buttons I'd ear
rings are pearl. A coronet OF orange bios
sons, jessamine and myrtle IS worn with
the long tulle veil that falls al the back.

ATHLETIC CLUB GOSSIP.

The gift by Mr. Henry L. Higginson, OF
Boston, to Harvard university OF twenty
acres of ground for athletics will make,
when all other land given for the same
purpose is in condition TO use, nearly 100
acres All the plots are within a few
minutes walk of the college square.
The general feeling among college sth-
letes is that the recent carousing Of the
Harvard students will act IA "A death kneu
to the already enfeebled plan of a dual
league between Yale and Harvard. This
league was Harvard's plan TO be rather ex-
elusive on account of age, social standing,
etc, but winning the intercollegiate cup
for the seventh time this year proved to be
too much for the eXubeYsnce of some OF
her ardent students, who have caused severe
criticism from other colleges and the press
by their recent vandalism on the college
grounds on the night of the intercollegiate
games.
The rejection Of the entries TO the bicycle
race of the recent eastern championship
meeting Of Rich, Clark and Campbell. now
of the New York Athletic club will be a
good test Of the rule of the Amateur Ath-
letic union which prohibits men represent
