OIL OF LAVENDER.
[F'rom Chambers Journal

IL AOiAf NAdlifOciS JouiHdi.1
The production of lavender for dis
tillation is an important branch of the
industry. In the County of Surrey,
England, there are several large laven-
der dfstilleries. To these the growers
carry their harvestings, to be subjected
10 the necessary process. The oil is
contained In glands situated chiefly on
the calyx, corolla, and leaves, but also
TO less extent on the branches and
hover stalks. In the process of distil-
lation, two hours are allowed for the
first run" This run gives the clear
est and best oil, and when of very
high quality il is almost colerless. For
the second run, four hours are allowed,
the oil produced being of pale amber
tint, and having a stronger, coarser
odor than that which results from the
first run.
When the highest quality of oil is de-
sired, flowers only are used in the pro-
cess. The quality of the oil secured
depends also on the kind of season in
which the flowers have been grown.
Sunless summers result in a much re-
dueed quantity and inferior quality.
There are many acres of land through
out the Kingdom, producing at present
only seanty crop of grass, which
might be used for the cultivation of
the lavender plant The demand for

CHANGED THEIR TACTICS.
Eastern Money Lenders Are Branch-
ing Out in Utah business.

Having come to the conclusion that
with the former cast-iron rules and
regulations regarding the securities
necessary to be presented in order to
secure a loan, the eastern people who
have money lying here for Investment
have notified their local agents that here
after no such exactions as those of the
past will be necessary. In consequence
of the modification of the old demand
the agents are securing considerably
more loans than was the case a week or
so ago and still the loaning companies
or individuals are being amply pro-
tected There is an abundance of 8 per
cent eastern money in the vaults of the
several loaning agencies and the pro-
perty owners will not have much diff
Guilty in securing sums to suit, provided
they have some good real estate to
offer as security.
The latest loan of any magnitude was
one negotiated yesterday by Messrs.
Conway & Donnellan for eastern people.
AS result of the transaction the Jen-
nings Brothers Investment company
takes $4,000 on It's Second South street
property. giving the necessary mortgage
as security. But, s per cent interest is
to be paid on the loan.

and that Madajunsa and Nossibeh, on

he was instructed to demand that the

NJ Cocarde, of Paris, at the time of
the departure of NJ. LIE Myra de Villears,
who is just about due at Madagascar,
said:
He will call upon the Hova govern
ment to satisfy all our demands and to
respect all the clauses of war treaties.
In the case of the Hova government &C
cepting this demand protocol, summar-
izing our rights and rendering some OBJ
scure points clear, will be drawn up.
Those rights may be summarized as fol-
lows:
The installation of French represent

the recognition of the right of Europeans
to possess property without any retroces-

the natives for the hire and farming of

the freedom of navigation of the rivers;
the establishment OF military stations
where the French army think fit; the
appointment of French agent TO con-

wasted at the present moment to the det-

a French resident with each of the NAL

proper collection of the taxes-in a word
the effectual application of the protecto-
rate regime, which has, until now, been
nothing but nominal. If the Hova min
de Villears will withdraw to one of the
vessels of our squadron and the COM
mander of that squadron will then open

Washington, D. c., Oct. S.-Officials
OF the Japanese legation have received
an interesting budget of news and Cos
sip by the last mail from Japan. The
spirit of the people is shown in war
songs, sung by thu Japanese troops as
they push toward Pekin. The songs
Were officially complied by order of
Prince Arisugawa. They breathe great
bitterness against China ana declare
that now is the time to plant the flag
OF the rising sun on the walls Of Pc
kin and to illuminate it's darkness.
Each verse of the song begins and
ends with, Strike and Chastise Chi
ma The various verses describe the
Chinese as arrogant and insolent,
and an army OF towards" The Chin
csc troops war songs say of the Jap
anese, They are undisciplined rabble,
and however fine their arms look they
ere useless, like fine ladies in pictures.
The Japanese minister of finance has
officially made announcement that the
war will not be allowed to interrupt
the international improvement of ia
pan. Consequently railway construe-
ton is to proceed with the same vigor
as in peaceful times. The minister has
arranged SO that the treasury shall
keep separate accounts of the war ex-
penses and those for internal improve
ments, in order that the former may
not overshadowed the latter.
The later customs house reports in
Japan, showing that her trade with
the United States is greater than that
of any other country. The total trade
last year was about 1000, 600 yens. The
British trade, which comes second, is
3,5oo.000 yens.
The Japanese people and press are

proclamation, directing that the Jap

neaning the country in which the peo-
pie cannot make up their minds. The

Those were the great days of Arch

decay, as I shall show you presently.
For Archangel does comparatively lit

The population of Archangel is close

in some respects the most interesting
