Extraction of Perfumes.

Six methods of extracting per-
fumes are known. The first is ex-
preston by means of a special press,
which is applicable without toe
great loss of fruit skins rich in es-
sential oils, such rs orange and cit
ron peel, previously grated.
Another method is that of dis
tillation, which consists of heating
flowers with water in boiler. The
essential oil is volatilized and is
condensed with the vapor of water
in worm and Florentine receiver.
The water usually goes to the
bottom and the oil floats. The oil
of neroli, rose, patchouli, geranium,
lavender, caraway, ETC., are obtained
in this way. The process is not ap-
plicable to the delicate perfumes of
the mignonette and the violet, and
for them recourse is had to macera-
tion of the flowers in animal fat or
mineral oils, which have the proper
ty of absorbing odorous substances,
and are then washed in alcohol.
The flowers are usually heated in
the fat or oil for q variable number
of hours. For perfumes which can
not endure a high temperature the
petals are placed between frames of
glass coated with fat. This is the
process of enheurage.
The pneumatic process, which
consists in causing current of per-
fumed air or carbonic acid to be abb
sorbed by coatings of lard on glass
plates, appears not to have given
satisfactory results.
Another process consists in dis
solving perfumes in very volatile
liquids, like sulphuret of carbon,
chloroform, naphtha, ether, or chlo-
ride of methyl, and volatilizing the
solvents, which can be done at a
low. temperature in a vacuum.
The last method has given very
satisfactory results in the extreme
delicacy of its returns.-Popular
Science Monthly.

Didn't Spit on the Fusee.

A good story has been told of a
lisping officer having been victim
lied by a brother officer-who was
noted for his cool deliberation and
strong nerve-and of his "getting
square" with him i'm the following
manner: The cool joker-Captain
Blakeney-was always quizzing the
lisping officer lieutenant-for
his nervousness, and said one day at
mess: "Why, nervousness is all
nonsense; | tell you no brave man
is ever nervous"
"Well," inquired his lisping
friend, show would you act thsoth-
ing a thell with an inth futhee
thould drop ithelf in walled angle,
in which you had taken shelter from
a company of tharpthooterth, and
where it wath thertain if you put
out your nothe you'd get peppered?"
"How?" said the Captain, with a
look at his brother officers. "Why,
take it coolly and spit OH the fusee. p"
The party broke up and all re-
tired. The next morning q num-
ber of soldiers were assembled on
parade, when along came the lisp
ing Lieutenant. Lazily opening
his eyes, he remarked to a cluster
of officers: 81 want to try an ekth-
pertinent thith morning and thee
how ektheedingly cool Tom Blake
ney can be-"
Saying this, he walked deliberate
ly into the Captains quarters, where
a fire was burning on the hearth,
and placed in its hottest part
powder canister and instantly re-
treated. There was but one door
of egress from the quarters and
that opened on the parade ground.
The occupant gave one look at the
canister, comprehended the situa-
ton, and in moment made for the
door, but it was fastened on the out
side.
"Charley, let me out If you love
me!' shouted the captain.
"Thpit on the canitherw shouted
he in return.
Not moment was to be lost; the
captain had at first snatched up a
blanket to cover himself with; but
soon dropped it, he raised the win
dow, and out he bounded, sans ev-
erything but very short under
garment, and thus, with hair al
most on end, he dashed on to a
full parade ground. The shouts
which hailed him brought out the
whole of the occupants of the bar
racks to see what was the matter,

Vile and Unworthy

OF consideration nostrums of which It is assert
ed-and there are many such that they cure i'm
mediately bodily ailments of long STANDING. There
are none such that can. Chronic disorders cannot
be instantaneously removed. Continuity in the
use of genuine medicine, such as Hostetter's
Stomach Bttcrs, will eradicate chronic physical
evils Not the least of these last in the force of its
opposition to medicine is constipation, to the re-
moval of which, ifpcrsisted in the Bitters is par
ticularly adapted. CONSTRUCTION of the bowels is
complaint which should be dealt with early and
systematically. So are its usual attendants, liver
complaint and dyspepsia. For these, for malaria,
rheumatism, kidney trouble, and more recently
"la grippe" this highly and professionally COM
