an evening. The dear old lady was 80 glad
to see them; the love that besmed from he r

with the heat OF that hardwood fire.

Baker when her son declined a second
doughnut; land what ails the child?n she
continued; ''hain's he got no appetite9
Why, when you WIS his age, Lutte, seemed
as if couldn't cook doughnuts fast enough
for your
Lutte explained that both he and his little
boy had eaten pretty heartily on the train
that day. But all the time of their visit
there poor old Grandma Baker wondered
and worried because they didn't eat enough
seemed to her as if western folks hadn't
the right kind OF appetite. Even the plump
pullets, served only in style that had made
Miss Baker famed throughout those dis
eliminating parts-even those pullets failed
to awaken the expected and proper enthusi-
assn in the visitors
Home again in Chicago, Lutte drew his
chair up to the table with an eloquent sigh
of relief. AS for little Moses, he clamored
his delight.
Chicken pie" he cried, gleeSully, and
then he added soulful "wowl" as his eager
eyes fell upon plateful Of hot, exubsrant,
voluptuous doughnuts.

But | am afraid" suggested EN-, tim

you"
Little Moses bless HIM howled an indig-
nant, a wrathful remembrance. "Gran'ma
can't cook worth a cent" said he.

shocked, but he wasn't.
~ wouldn't let her know Ii for all the
world" remarked Lutte, "but mother has
lost her grip on cooking. At any rate, her
cooking isn't what 1t used to be; it has
changed"
Then En- came bravely TO the rescue
'No, Lutte" says she, and she meant it,
''your mothers cooking hasn't changed, but
you have. The man has grown away from
the boy, and the tastes the ways and the
delights OF boyhood have no longer any fas-
cInetion for the boy"
MAY be- you're right" said Lutte. "At
any rate, I'm free to say that your cooking
beats the world"
Good for Lutte! Virtue triumphs and my

glad that she had endured that martyrdom

AN IMITATION ELEPHANT.

s'Fcur square bars Of wrought iron, each
IL feet in length, were heated and bent into
shape for legs, and all were firmly bolted to
a 4-inch beam 16 feet long. which was to
serve as backbone for the stuffed beast
On each side OF the center beam were nailed
boards cut in semi-circular shape to the
same general outline as the ribs of the skele-
ton when in position. These false ribs were
set the entire length Of the body, and to
them were nailed laths so as to sheathe the
whole framework. A wooden pelvis and
shoulder blades of the same material were
constructed and nailed in position.
with the real skull before US as a model
we made another of wood, exactly the same
size and shape as the original, into which
the turks were fitted. After boiling 1t firm
ly in place the framework of the mannikin
was complete. The entire framework was
then carefully covered with straw, fastened
to it in small bundles. By adding successive
layers of straw the various muscles and
prominences are reproduced with accuracy,
The next step was TO place the skin, thor
oughly poisoned with arsenic, to keep off
the bugs, over the model, sewing it together.
The feet and legs were stuffed out to the
proper shape and size, and then remained
the most difficult part OF the job-namely,
the head.
"The trunk was made of straw wound
upon an iron rod and bound into shape, and
then the whole head was covered with clay.
By means of this plastic and yet adhesive
material we were enabled to make all the
hollows and elevations on the head, as well
as the deep wrinkles of the trunk. Then
the animal was allowed TO stand for three
months, after which it was shipped on a fat
car to the Museum of Comparative Zoology
at Cambridge, Mass, where 1t now is 1t

MAKING PERFUMERY.
The Process Employed at the Great
French Perfumery Center.
From the San Franctsco Chrontcle.

Iu9 PROCESS hmplOy9O AT Ln9 Great
French Perfumery Center.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
The cher production of genuine per.
fumery is in that part of France bordering
upon the Gulf of Lyons and the Mediter-
ranean sea. where it is an important branch
of agricultural industry.
The town of Grasse is the great center
where, with only about 12, 900 inhabitants,
there are over seventy factories, giving en-
ployment to more than 5000 persons in field
and factory.
Many manufacturers grow their own
flowers and plants, others buy them daily in
the market, and still others are supplied by
contract, making fixed price for a term OF
years for the total product Of farm. The
average price stated in American currency
and weight at Grasse is as follows: Rose
leaves 4 to cents a pound, jassamine leaves
20 to 25, orange flower leaves IS, &C acia
buds 80 TO 90. tuberose leaves so, violet
leaves 40 TO so. These are the principal
garden flowers used in Grasse. A great
breadth Of land is devoted to lavender,
rosemary, thyme, sweet marjoram, cherry,
laurel, sage balm and other medicinal aud
culinary plants, which are sold at much
lower rates than the products Of the flowers
above mentioned.
For distillation the plant of saturated
fibrous material is introduced to a still,
water poured upon it, and heat being ap-
piled, the oil is volatilized. by the aid OF the
watery vapor. at a temperature of 1907.
When the singled vapors Of the oil and
water are condemned into the boiled state by
the refrigerator OF the still the oil separates
ard is easily collected.
The volatile oil of some plants, such as
bergamot, lemon. orange, citron, etc.,
where the oil exists in the skin or rind, is
best obtained by expression. For this pur-
pose hydrostatic pressure or its equivalent
is necessary.
The original otto or altar of roses, the
queen of perfumes and highest type Of
fragrance, which was chiefly obtained from
the foot Of the Balkan mountains, was pro-
cured by collecting the drops of oil which
foated on the surface Of vessels filed with
rose water, in the following manner: The
petals are placed in wooden vessel with
pure water and exposed for several days to
the heat of the sun. The oily products be-
ing disengaged by the heat float on the sur
face and are taken up by the fine cotton
lint.
From this lint the oil is pressed into small
bottles and Theoretically sealed. But it is
now most produced by distillation. For this
purpose the flowers Of the cabbage rose are
gathered before sunrise, as after that thsy
lose half their fragrance, and distilled the
same day. The petals are placed in an
alembic with water and boiled. the steam
being carried TO a refrigerator. The otto
floats on the condensed steam and IS then
collected. On an average 1000 pounds OF
leaves produce one pound Of oil. A more
recent process Is to steam the petals, aud
the condensed steam produces the same re-
suit; but IL is alleged that this method makes
finer Gil
