upon the Norfolk and Western railroad,
half way between Roanoke and Bristol,
the former of which is situated upon
the eastern border and the latter the
western border of the great upland
mineral basin known as Southwest Vir-
ginia. The proposed Virginia and Ken
lucky railroad, on which work will be-
gin soon, crosses the Norfolk and West
ern at this point. The Parkcrsburg,
Little kanawha and Virginia railway
has also decided to build the proposed
connecting link between the Black Dia-
mond system and the Cape Fear and

These lines will bring the Gossan ores

ABOUT SWEET DOORS.
They Arc of Three Kinds. and Have Al
| ways Boon Loved by Man.

They Arc of Three Kinds. and Have Al
ways Boon Loved Dv Man.
From the worry earliest ages man has
loved sweet odors. In tho Bible we
read Of tho burning OF incense on the
altars, and the very word perfumery
(undcr which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smells) comes from
the Latin junus, smoke OF vapOr.
The early Egyptians knew the use of
tho still, and adopted it to tho separa-
tion OF tho odorous principle from fra.
grant plants, but tho most ancient doors
were drawn from natural gums, such as
'eamphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
Sweet doors are Of throe kinds-the
f,rral, tho aromal and tho ba!samic.
The il,-st group includes all those de-
rived from swe~2.t;smclling flowers and
plants; the second, thos>' derived from
musks and resins; tho tn ird, those do
rived from leaves and guns Tho otto.
or essential oil of perfumes, is obtain ed
in three several Observation-Disclosures,
maceration and entlouragc.
In distillation, the odorous principle
IS purified and separated from tho
grosser parts by evaporation and subse-
qucnt condensation. An essential oil,
or otto, thus procured from orange flow
ers bears in commerce to this day tho
namo of Neroll, named after and dat
ing from time OF the Emperor Nero.
In macera ton, the primary substance
is softcned by pounding, and then dis
solved by sleeping in liquid, usually al
ooholic.
In enflourago, the odors arc extracted
by immcrsing the flowers or plants in
grease. Tho fat absorbs the doors, and
to remove it tho fat is placed in alcohol;
the odor then leaves the fat and enters
into tho spirit which thus becomes
scented.
In tho manufacture of perfumes art
has improved on nature, and tho per-
fumer must DO good chemist. Such
odors as Jockey Club, West End, Mile
flour and q host of others havo no
counterpart in garden or grove.
Indian lemon grass likewise gives
extract of verbena." With the rose as
foundation, and dash of vcrbona,
the perfume Of tho delicate and floctiny
sweet brier" is obtained
or the animal substances, ambcrrris
tho secretion of tho spcrmaceta whale,
gives mellowness and permanently to
can and Indian cat has an odor harm
onizing with floral compounds.
Musk is found in tho small pocket or
pouch Of the musk deer Of China, Ton
quin and Thibet 1t is SO powerful,
aromatic and persistent that one part
of musk will scont more than 5000
parts OF inodorous powder.
or tho spice series, caraway and nut
meg arc largely used and cloves onter
into many perfumes with high sound
ing names. Cinnamon or cassia is
largely used. Cinnamon or cassia is
tho bark of n tree. Cassia comes from
China, the true cinnamon from Ccylon,
and the two odorous grasses are natives
of India; one is known as tho lennon
grass" from which all our extract of
vcrbena" and "vcrbena water" arc
made, Il little addition OF lomon essence
