THE SWITCH PARADE.

THE SWITCH P4R1DE.
From Harper's Young People.
This is the story told by an old Swiss
chronicle
The magistrates of the Swiss town
of Brugg assembled in council, and re-
solved to raise forest of oak trees ON
the common.
Then the citizens sailed forth on a
rainy day, made holes in the ground
with canes and sticks, dropped an
acorn in every hole, and trampled the
dirt down with their feet. Thus they
sowed upwards of twelve sacks of
acorns and when the work was done,
each citizen received a wheaton roll
for a treat, the expense being betrayed
by the town Treasury.
Alas the acorns lay too deep in the
ground, which, besides, had been
trodden down too firmly by so many
feet the seeds never came up.
The thrifty townspeople then raised
a crop of rye and oats on the common.
After the harvest they ploughed the
soil, and sowed acorns in the burrows.
But luck even now turned against
them. Only a few acorns came up,
while the grass grew all over the COM
mon.
The townspeople made hay in due
season, carefully sparing the infant
oaks when they moved. 1t was no
use! The rank weeds soon killed
them all.
After this second failure the mem
beers of the Council put their wise
heads together and resolved to try
new way, for an oak grove they were
bound to have.
On the twentieth day of October, in
the year of our Lord 1882, the whole
community marched out to the woods.
Men, women, and children dug up oak
saplings, and transplanted them on
the common The citizens worked
with a will. In the evening every boy
and girl was given a wheaton roll to re-
member this arbor day, while the men
and women partook of a merry supper
in the town-halE
Now the oaks did grow, says the
chronicle.
The Brugg people were so pleased
with this final success that they de-
cided to institute the anniversary of
this arbor day in 1882 as a holiday in
their town for all times to come.
Year after year young people march
ed in parade to the oak grove, and re-
turned home, carrying oak twigs, or
switches, as proof that the. trees
grew apace and year after year a
wheaton roll was given by the town
to every boy and girl, to be eaten in
remembrance OF arbor day.
This ancient custom has been kept
up faithfully through the centuries,
and still exists under the name of the
Switch Parade"

PERFUME FROM FLOWERS.

The violet, rose, jonquil, jasmine,
acacia, tuberose and orange grow lux
uriously in Florida and California,
and first class floral extracts are COM
posed to a greater or less extent of
these odors. Why can not flowers be
grown for profit in the genial climate
of these and other States Home pro-
ducers should be able to produce a
pomade-the only form in which per-
fume can be tiXed-at a price which
will enable them to compete with the
flower farmers of France, who at pre-
sent supply the world's market. This
pomade is marketed in eleven and
twenty-five pound tins, varying in
price according to quality.
The process of extracting odors is
known as eltfeufdge, and it is carried
on either with or without heat. JAS
mine and tuberose are exposed to lard
spread thinly on sheets of glass in
suitable frames this soon absorbs the
odor, and by renewing the flowers the
grease becomes saturated.
The perfume of the other flowers is
extracted by hot enfeurage. In this
case an addition of beef fat is made to
the lard 'tinsuring Il higher melting
point this mixture is heated to the
melting point, when the flowers are
thrown in and rapidly stirred through
the grease; the semi-liquid Ill ass isput
under "a strong press with suitable
filtering material until the flowers are
separated The process is continued
till the grease is practically saturated
with odor.
These processes are simple, and with
a supply of flowers there is no reason
why "a good pomade can not be made
in this country. The lard used, how
ever, must be perfectly pure and odor
less. No amount of perfume will
make an impure grease fragrant, and
the perfumer will not buy an article OF
the kind at any price.
In his laboratory the perfumer is
one of the most practical of men, and
buys his materials ON their merits. II
is just as important to have his pom
AIDES free from false odors as that his
spirits should have no trace of fuse
oil The prospect of success offered
by this industry can be learned only
by experiment, and it is certain thai
no careless methods will answer.

ANATOMICAL.

A quack doctor stood on his wagon
at street corner selling his cure-all.
A group of people gathered about him,
and he undertook to explain the
anatomy of the throat.
"My dear friends" he began, per
haps you don't know it, but there are
two passages that go from the back of
the mouth to the stomach. One is
called the Hsophagus and the other is
the psophagi. Now the solid victuals
goes down the esophagus and the
liquids down the 9sophagi.

SPRING IN THE COUNTRY.

ITO what shall I compare it?
1t has glory and naught else can share it:
The thought thereof is awful, sweet and holy,
Chasing away all worldliness and folly"
"The world is growing DID," says
the poet, but it is hale old age and
every Spring it renews its youth and
rejoices in it as in ancient times when
young Cain and Abel played among
the budding trees and picked the ten
der flowers of the Antedeluvian
Spring.
The maple trees are pendulous with
their scarlet and orange tassels; the
sod is moist and sends forth fresh
odor the blue birds and robins have
set up an Academy of Music in the
oak trees and the fruit trees are put
ting forth their bronze-green buds.
The frogs are croaking in their marshes
and the evening air is full of their
weird revelry. The garden beds have
had their coverings raked away and
our early bulbs are poisoning while
we prepare and SOW the seeds for later
blooming. We look forward and see,
in anticipation, our windows covered
with morning glories, sweet-peas, ION
tiptoe for flight pansies and pinks,
roses and lilies all abloom and our
houses fragrant with bouquets.

HELPING THE BISHOP

A Harvard man, who has been. liv-

writes home an incident in which he
helped Bishop Talbot. The bishop
arrived one day in small mining
town in his Observation-Disclosures
he had promised to hold a service.

some green handbills flying about,
and he picked one up. 1t read as fol-
lows: a
Bishop Talbot breaches tonight.
Let him have big crowd.
''P. S.-Leave your guns with the
usher
The bishop was not easily scared,
but he thought the postscript odd, to
say the least. On inquiry he learned
that young Mr. H wanted to raise
a good crowd to greet the bishop, and
he had issued the handbills, knowing
that many who would not come to
hear the bishop preach would come
at the hint of disturbance.
