HOW Pomades Arc Made.

The transforming of flowers, once
grown and picked, into marketable per
fumes and pomades is not an affair re-
quiring great skill. You can do the
thing yourself on small scale if you
have n garden. Take frame like a
window sash, holding a single pane of
glass; wash the glass carefully and cover
both sides of it with thin layer Of
grease made of two parts of lard and one
of tallow Pick off the petals of lot of
roses and violets, throwing the rest of
the flowers away, and lay them over the
grease Have dozen such frames thus
prepared and stack them up by laying
them evenly on top of one another.
Thus you will have series of closed
chambers, each containing layer of
flower petals between floor and cell
ing of grease. Fat or oil of any kind
has strong affinity for perfumes, and
so the grease absorbs the smell of the
violets or roses. Put in fresh petals
every day. and at the end of two or three
months the grease will be intensely inn
pregnated with the odor of the flowers.
Scrape it off the glass and then put it
in alcohol The latter has an affinity
for the perfume even stronger than. that
which the grease possesses, so it will
quickly absorb it from the grease, and
upon pouring the alcohol off into an
other vessel you viii have exquisite eau
de cologne. Washington Star.

Gaxe Himself Away.

One day in chat with friend he
said to me: HAS it ever occurred to you
that when old age deprives you of much
of your present ability to earn a living
you viii be obliged to look to your
friends for support, or else become. a
charge at some one of the charitable in
stitutions?" I confess 1 am neither a
money maker nor money saver, but sit
is dollars to doughnuts" that the person
who thus twitted me of my weakness
simply echoed as he did so the general
plan which he, in the cold blood of mid
die age, is counting on as his resource
when he shall get too old to be indis-
pensable. Detroit Free Press

A Fish That Turns to water.

A curious animal is the medusa. Writ
ing in 1901. Reamur says: 1T is true
sea water jelly, having little color or con-
sistence. If we take one in our hands.
the natural heat is sufficient to dissolve
it into water" A medusa looks more
like mushroom than anything else, and
is often of a pale blue or rose color, while
in some localities it is violet, The tissue
OF medusa is 80 fragile that when
abandoned by the waves on the beach it
melts and disappears, without leaving a
trace of its ever having existed" They
are found principally in the arctic seas,
and constitute one of the chief supports
of the whale.-London Tit-Bits

Three Curious Bells.

There is curious legend connected
with the bells of Messingham church.
1t is said that a long, long time ago a
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on a stile in the churchyard and saying,
"Come to church, Thompson, come to
church, Brown" and SO on. Being very
much surprised, he asked what it meant,
and was told that, having no bells, they
called folks to church in this way. The
traveller remarked that it was pity SO
fine church should be without bells,
and at the same time asked the men if
they could make three for the church,
promising to pay for them himself.
They undertook to do this They were
respectively d tinker, carpenter and
a shoemaker. When next the traveller
passed that way he found the three men
ringing three bells, which said, cling,
tong, pluff, being made respectively of
tin. wood and leather!-London Tit-Bits.

Well have they dined on bug and midge.
Now they arc perched upon the ridge
OF the old barn. that's warped and hoary.
There they sit, bright birds of a feather.
Holding twitter-talk all together.
Each telling an after dinner story.
They will follow the summer bland:
To them no land is a foreign land
One exclaimed, with a joyous filter
~rr-ue cosmopolitans are we,
Horne is where we happen to be,
And swallows understand our twitter."
Then. in soft notes scarce-eould catch
One spoke of nest under the thatch
OF cottage where waves the willow.
Another shook his velvet head,
And with his noisy neighbors plead
To fly with him DER field and billow.
They talked about all sorts of things,
Sharpened their bills and preened thefrTRings;
Then away, away, the tourists started,
Sailing over river and main.
VIII they ever return eyain s.'
To theold home from which tt,es svefparSed7
o happy tourists OF the air.
UnbuCdened, free of debt and care,
Would that had swift wings to. follow
In the fight over land and sea,
With heart as light and wing as free
Asithe happy travelling swallowl
