Salt and Civilization.

Though playing an unobtrasive part
IN human economy, salt has been pow
erful factor in the politics, commerce,
and wealth of Nations, and its use has
marked the advancement of civilization
itself. Liebig once said that the state of
civilization and the prosperity of Nation
might be measured by the quantity of
soap 1t uses; but a more shrewd observer,
Schleiden, claims that better estimate
of peoples Advancement can be formed
IRON the amount of salt they consumed.
The first trade routes were established
for the traffic in salt and incense; bar
barrie people waged war over the posses
sion of salt springs; Venice owed much
of her magnificence to the revenues from
her salt lagoons; while the French Revo-
luton is indirectly attributed tc the in-
exorable gabelle, the cruel and exorbi-
tant salt laws which oppressed the French
people through four centuries. In
Europe, even to-day, the salt works are
either owned or controlled by Govern.
ment; while the Chinese jealousy pro-
hibit the export and import of salt.
Thus, the policy of kings, the prosperity
of Nations, the progress of civilization
have hinged upon this unconsidered trife:
but aside from them, common salt has
had, in all times, among all people, and
in all creeds, deep religious signifi-
canoe. The Greeks and Romans made
salt part of their sacrifices, and it was
offered in direct Precipitation to placate
the gods of the internal regions. Among
the Hebrews, all flesh sacrifices offered
in the temple were seasoned with salt;
and the most binding and sacred com
pact was the so-called "Covenant OF
Salt" all such treaties being made over
sacriicial meal, of which salt formed a
necessary part. The early German tribes
thought the ground holy where salt was
found, and their prayers more readily
heard in such places; while to this day
the priest places salt in the mouth of
person receiving the Catholic sacrament
of baptism.
The reason of this deep and far-reach-
ing significance is not far to seek. Salt,
because of its preservative qualities, has
ever been the symbol of eternity, incor-
ruption, fidelity, wisdom, Justice, and
peace. Christ called His disciples the
"salt OF the earth, meaning that in them
lay the perretuity Of the Christian spirit.
1t had also, particularly in the Bible,
terrible and sinister meaning, betokening
sterllity and irrevocable ruin, as shown
In the account of sowing with salt the
site Of city destroyed by siege.
Moreover, salt is the inviolable symbol
Of hospitality, every meal including salt
among the aucicnts, aud in the Orient
at the present day-haying sacred
character, and creating among the par
takers thereof lasting bond of friend
ship.
attic salt is tue comnonest SYNONYM
for wit; and it is recorded that the
Romans who made salt the symbol of the
immortal spirit, termed mans soul his

In New Zealand great progress has
been made in dairying, although no
bonuses are granted there and the
transportation Of products is not
assisted by Government subsidies. In
the season of 1912 the quantity OF
butter exported was 3,010.e72 pounds.
There are now in the colony seventy
eight butter and cheese factories. The
farmers receive about six cents a gallon
for their milk, and the butter is for
warded to market oncs a fortnight. The
freight charges for the entire distance
OF IL 900 miles are about three cents a
pound. In the last two years the market
value Of dairy cattle in New Zealand has
increased moro than fifty per cent
Here, as in Victoria, the Government
has undertaken to educate the farmers
by the use of expert lectures. The ann
of the exporters in Australia and New
Zealand has been to meet and overcome
the competition Of Denmark in prices.
and, with this purpose in view, the
wholesale price of the best brands of
colonial butter have been lower than
the prices Of the Danish product by
about a. 50 per hundred pounds.

Oil OF Neroll.

BY distillation with water, orange
flowers afford an essential oil, the
essence or oil of neroli; and the water
from which this is separated is sold
as orange-fower water. The oil re-
celyed its name from having been
used in the seventeenth century by
Anne Marie, wife of the Prince of
Nerola or Neroli, as perfume for
her gloves. 1t possesses in concen-
trated degree the fragrance of the
flowers, and is much used in perfumes
of various kinds. Orange flower water
is used in pharmacy to flavor mix
lures, ana sometimes in cooking.
