Perfume From Orange Blossoms.

1t is now proposed to utilize our
orange blossoms for toilet perfumes and
the only wonder is that our people have
not done it before. Every orange tree
has at least ten times as many blossoms
yearly as can or ought to bear fruit. AT
least three-fourths, if not seven-eighths,
of the blossoms can be picked off and
worked into perfumery without damage
to the orange crop. There is place on
the Mediterranean called Grasse, lying
near Genoa, where the manufacture of
perfumery from orange blossoms is a
specialty-she trees being cultivated for
that purpose. Some of the perfumes are
exceedingly expensive-one kind of oil
from the orange blossoms selling at the
rate of $500 per gallon.-NsD York Hes-

The Medicinal Sea Voyage.

When exhaustion has gone so far as
to produce condition of positive
breakdown without any special organic
lesion, a sea trip is in most cases to be
preferred to any alternative. The patient
has the advantage of perpetual carriage
exercise without the irksomeness of re.
strained posture, and without its limit
alton to a few hours of sunshine. The
chilling effects of night air and alterations
of dryness and dampness of atmosphere
are almost unknown at sea; and recovery
may in such cases usually be predicted
as following almost certainly few weeks
on ship board. But it is to the middle
aged man more than all others that
holiday at sea is to be recommended.
In the great majority of cases man who
leads an active business or professional
life selects his form OF holiday as much
for what he gets away from as for what
he gets to. The desire to get out of
harness and to escape from the weary
treadmill of the recurring cares from
which few active men are free is never
better met than by voyage. To such
men exercise is a secondary consideration.
Fresh air and the incidents that vary the
monotony of sea life are sufficient to give
all the benefits that any change can give,
whilst the gentle exercise of walking the
deck is sufficient to stimulate the appetite
and promote digestion.-Lo London Medical

Base Misrepresentation of the
County Treasurer's Affairs.

County Treasurer Peterson has been singu-
larry unfortunate in beng mIsrepresented
by the press ever since he entered his office.
A great deal of this Misrepresentation is due
10 the fact that Mr.. Peterson never gives out
any news from his Office himself. He leaves
il for other people to tell what is going on in
his office, ana therefore things are very often
miSrepreSented.
The story which was published yesterday
to the effect that Mr.. Peterson's books were
in bad shape, and that he had covered a
$1,000 shortage with his personal check
emanated from the political opponents of
the county treasurer and was grossly eXag-
gerated. The truth of the matter is that the
county board of audit discovered no short
age whatever in the county treasurer's book
accounts, and they do not propose to report
that Mr.. Peterson personal check FOR S. 600
was deposited for the purpose of covering any
such shortage. When the board of audit
examined the county treasurers Office last
week they found two OF Mr.. PeterSon's per
sonal checks-one for 81. $50 and the other
for S500-in the cash drawer. These checks,
of course. were just as good as cash and We're
put in the drawer by Mr.. Peterson to balance
two other checks he had sent away for col
lection. The two Peterson checks were de-
posted TO the credit of the county the very
next day after they were drawn
As to the books of the Office they are really
in very good sbape-in better shape than
they have been under other county Ireasurers
Claus Ruyter Mr.. Petersons chief book
keeper, is one of the best III the city, and all
the accounts of the Office are kept well UP to
dale and accurately.
The two Republican members of the board
of audit are inclined to make political cap
ital out of the Peterson checks by claiming
that they were being carried i'll the cash
drawer TO cover an amount of money dor
rowed" from the county by Mr. Peterson.
The fact that the checks were just as good as
gold will throw this political scheme into the
shade
