HOW PERFUMES ARE MADE.
Distillation, Fermentation, and Even Boil
ing in Lard Resorted to.

Distillation, Fermentation, and Even Boil
ing in Lard Resorted to.
From the Pail Mall Budget.
Those dainty, delicate perfumes which the
superfne and the vulgar alike enjoy are obtained
in very prosac way. They are produced in a
land where the flowers are perennial. In distil-
lation the flowers are boiled in an Theoretically
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 small glass vessel. The water in the copper
retains a small portion of the scent and becomes
the rose water or orange-hower water of trade.
All flowers are not susceptible of this treatment,
and those that are produce but minute guam
tity, the orange flower, for instance, giving but
one-thousandth part The volatile essences thus
obtained, combined and mixed together with
certain quantity of alcohol, are used in the prep
aration and as the basis OF eau de cologne toilet
vinegar lavender water, etc.
The perfume from flowers which do not con-
tain the volatile essence is extracted by two pro-
cesses. In the first or cold process cassie, jessa
mine jonquils, tuberoses, YioeGs, and some
other flowers, freshly gathered, 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 to circumstances, until
the lard is sufficiently charged with perfume.
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 compound is boiled. additional
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 OBJ
tained. Certain perfumes which are OF great use
in the manufacture of scents can only be OBJ
tanned by the fermentation of fruits, flowers, and
roots.

but the naval officer was not disposed to give
any information at all. He was not bound he
said, to give information to the newspapers or
to the public. He could not even grant access
to printed book or newspaper belonging to
the bureau, because all the information pos
sessed by that bureau is confidential. Even
the bureaus copy Of "Robinson Cruso" or s'Innor
nocents Abroad" is confidential, strictly conf
dental. And Notwithstanding that this Off
Ger managed to keep his own bureau SO very
secretive he flew quite into a rage as he con-
templated the unwarrantabe amount of infor-
nation that was regularly given to the public
by other bureaux. Only some Government
like this, he said, would ever give to the public
and the world the valuable information con
tained in the Register of the Navy, for
Instance. If he had his way there
would be no nonsense from mere civilians.
But Secretary Tracy is different kind of man.
had no difficulty in reaching the Secretary and
telling him what | wanted, and as soon as he
had learned this he rang bell for the officer,
and ordered him to furnish me with the infor-
nation had requested. There is no nonsense
about Secretary Tracy, and the military inso-
lence and supercliousness of the officers will

We publish the following from

benefit of those who think a "coun-
try newspaper man" has nothing
to do:
We apologize for mistakes made
IN all former issues, and say they
were inexcusable, as all an editor
mas to do is to hunt news, and clean
the rollers, and set type, and sweep
the floor, and pen short items. and
fold papers, and write wrappers,
and make the paste and mail the
papers, and talk 10 visitors, and
distribute type, and carry water,
and saw wood, and read the proofs.
and correct the mistakes, and hunt
the shears to write editorials, and
dodge the bills, and dun delln-
quents, and take cusslngs from the
whole force and tell our suhscrib-
ers that we need money. We say
lat we've no business to make
mistakes while attending to these
little matters and getting our living
on hopper-tail soup, favored with
imagination, and wearing old shoes
and no collar and a patch on our
pants. and obliged to turn a smil-
ing cnuntenance to the man who
tells US our paper isn't worth 81

Never Open an Account,
From tine Brooklyn Eagle.


Never, if you can help it, open
an account at any shop. Woman
is prone to do this, and often does
not realize how her account has
been growing until she finds that
she has an inconveniently large bill
to pay. 1t is very easy and ex-
ceedingly pleasant to select the
dainty belongings you SO much like
and have them charged, but after
you have used them you will find
it difficult to realize they cost so
much. Most women have had this
experience. The bill comes in and
you are not ready to meet it, and
you think you will borrow the
money from Il friend. You do so
and pay Tor 1t; but remember that
nothing will so surely break friend
ship as the click of money coming
from lender TO borrower. 1t would
be much better to go to the head of
the firm to which you owe the ac-
count, tell him the state of the case
and announce how much you can
pay on your account now and whe"
the balance. Avoid borrowing
money. 1t is true there are times
when, because of long illness or
some other cause, the borrowing of
money becomes absolutely neces.
sary; in which case bend all your
energies to the prompt payment of
the debt, denying yourself every
luxury until it is accomplished.
No matter how little you may be
able to lay aside, at least acquire
the habit of saving something, for
the habit is the first step that counts
in the care for the rainy day. 1t
is hard to be compelled to feel that
there is so much that one can not
afford, but try to fully realize its
truth. View the stern fact
calmly and courageously and ii
| will lose half its terrors. Do not
talk over your money affairs with
your wealthier friend--you may
not mean it but it will seem to her
a quiet request for help, and such a
habit is demoralizing, and will soon
drive your friends from you.

FARM MORTGAGES.
Congressman DOckery Introdu-
ces n Series of Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, jan. 6, 1S90.-The
Democrats OF Congress are evident
ly determined that the eleventh
census shall show the amount of
farm mortgages. The Republicans
are doing their best to prevent
this, as they believe that it would
not be for the benefit of the pro-
tected monopolists of New England
and the East generally that the
poor condition of the farmers
the West and South should
be generally made known.
The Superintendent of the Census,
in letter to Senator Berry of
! Arkansas some time ago,prac:ically
refused to take the question of farm
mortgages into account in the Gen.
sus report. The Democrats, how
ever, intend TO force the issue and
compel Superintendent Porter's
boss, the Secretary OF the Interior,
to follow out the letter and spirit OF
the census act. Nearly ever
! Democrat in the House has a bill
or resolution prepared regarding
this matter. To-day Representa-
tive Dockery of Missouri introduc-
ed the following resolution, which
was ordered printed in the Record
and referred to the committee on
the eleventh census:
WHEREAS, The agricultural
wealth of the nation is steadily
declining, and farming is no longer
profitable as is manifest in the fact
of abandoned farms in some of the
New England States; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is ofparamount i'm
port nee in the study of economic
questions as they relate to the
farming industry, to know the ex-
tent of the mortgaged Indebtedness
OF the farmers; and,
| WHEREAS, Section II of the act
authorizing the eleventh census
directs the Superintendent of the
Census under authority of the
Secretary of the Interior to ascer-
tain 1.-The recorded indebtedness of
private corporations and individu-
als;" and
| WHEREAS, Said superintendent,
under date of December 3, 1889,
has stated that "these statistics
cannot be got from records" thus
indicating his view of the im-
practicabllity of enforcing the law;
therefore, be it
| Resolved, That the Secretary OF
the Interior be and is hereby re
quested to inform the House why
1t is not possible to ascertain "the
recorded Indebtedness of private
corporations and individuals" to
the end that Congress may, if it be
found necessary, enact such legisla-
ton as will enable the Superintend,
ent of the Census TO ascertain TIE
number of the homes and farms Of
the people that are mortgaged and
the percentage of the value sc
