HOMEMADE PERFuMERY.

A practical chemist says that within
the last twelve months he has taught
perfumery making to several women,
some Of whom learned II only for amuse
ment, while others mean TO apply IL to
the purpose Of money making. Women,
he says, are becoming much interested
in this subject, and are better equipped
In every respect than men to make sue
cosssful perfumers. One Of the most
important requisites is nice sense Of
smell, which is possessed by the majority
OF women, as their okactories have not
been dulled by smoking. Women, ms a
rule, love flowers, and are fitted for the
delicate manipulation required in the
work, nyc.sixtoenths Of drop too much
or too little often materially changing
the odor. Tac field is a wide one, for
pure cooking extracts are difficult to
obtain, ana the making Of them also
offers q elance for the enterprising
woman. A point on which the chemist
dwells particularly Is that the work can
be carried on ia parlor as easily as in a
laboratory, as il requires little space and

A voracious Fish.

In water trough in front Of SuIlivan's
Hotel on Chelten avenue, Germantown,
there is black bass that has attracted
the attention of hundreds of people be-
cause Of his peculiarities and the degree
of intelligence exhibited on many occa-
sions, says the Philadelphia Times. The
fish is the only inmate of the trough and
has occupied it for two years, to the ex-
-clusion of 200 others which had been put
in it for propagation purposes, but the
bass killed them one by one until the en-
tire number had fallen victims to his
voracity. He not only killed the fish
but ate them. He swallows flies by the
dozen, which the boys of the neighbor-
hood gather for him, and the more they
give him the better he appreciates them.
He is fed almost daily on cheese, Holsters
and choice beef-steak, and after he re-
ceives his morning complement of the
latter he rises to the surface and splashes
the water furiously with his tail This
is presumed to be his method of return
ing thanks
lie also eats mice, and several times
during the past week John Leithead, of
engine 10, provided him with this
quality of bait, only to be swallowed
without any ceremony He likewise eats
birds, and hardly day passes that he
does not dispose Of at least two sparrows
and two chippies. The fact that the
feathers are upon the bodies Of the birds
makes little difference to him, and it is
ouly when the legs have not been re-
moved that he refuses TO touch them.
Otherwise he gulps them down with
great rapidiiy. Although he measures
eighteen inches IN length aud weighs
about five pounds he causes no trouble

Once the gulf extended in a northerly
direction 300 miles beyond its present

sion the great Colorado River emptied
millions OF tons Of detritus' annually,
until the deposit accumulated in quantity
sufficient TO shut jtf the upper part Of
the gulf. which was thus transformed
into lake. To begin with, Of course,
Il was salt lake, hut 1t gradually be-
came fresh through the influx OF water
from the Colorado. Thereuoon fresh
water fishes, mollusks, and other crea-
lures not Of the brine were developed in
it. and in this way it happens that the
dry bottom Of to-day is covered with
their fossil remains
However, the Colorado, like other
rivers, has been steadily diminishing in
volume as centuries have gone BY so
that its supply OF water was at length
cut of from the lake, only dry channels
remaining where once torrents flowed.
one Of these old channels is known as
the New River. Within the memory of
tradition OF man there has been no flow
worth mentioning through this New
River; but in 1853 a geologist, Prof.
william G. Blake, attached to party of
United States engineers which first ex-
plored this region, said in his report that
the desert would again become lake
for time, II there should be an unusual
rising of the Colorado. Now that IS
exactly what has occurred recently. A
large tributary Of the Colorado, called
the ella River, has been affected by such
a food as has never been heard Of there
before. Consequently the Colorado,
augmented in volume by this swollen
stream, has poured part OF its overflow
through the New River channel and the
ancient lake bed has become inundated.
Necessarily the water will soon dry up. -

Who Were Hook and croOkP"

There have been many attempts made
to explain the origin of the phrase, by
Hook or Crook The Boston News
Letter Of January, 1776, explains the ex-
preston thus "Hook and Crook were
the names of two English Judges at
the beginning of the last century.
They were both men of eminence in their
profession, but not more remarkable for
anything than the perpetual diversity Of
opinion that prevailed between them on
matters of legal Jurisprudence. Be the
case what it would, every sutton was sure
to have either Hook or Crook on his
side.n
Wilson's "Origin of Familiar Words
and Phrases" says that it probably
means 'foully like thief or holly like a
bishop, the hook being used by burg
lars, the crook being the Bishops GRO
zier. 1.-THE Hand Book of Fact and
Fancy" gives the following story under
the heading of by Hook or Crook -

stroyed 10, 200 houses, and in many cases

among the people as to the position and

building of the city until they could be
settled. Accordingly two of the most
experienced surveyors of the day. Mr..
/ Charles Hook and Mr.. George Crook,
were called upon TO act as arbitrator IN
the matter, landowners entering into a
compact to take the decision of Hook
and Crook as final and binding. Frm
