used by Nourjeham ('Light of the World'),
who figures in Tom Moore's "Lalla
Kookh." One day, so the story goes, she
was walking in her garden, through which
ran a canal Of rose water. On the surface
she saw some little oily particles, which
she gathered. and found them so fragrant
and delicious that she cried for more of
them, and from that time it became the
duty OF one of her maids to col
lect all the particles she could dis
cover. This then opened new industry
among her husbands subjects. The great
est amount of altar, as we'll as the purest,
comes from Turkey; much comes from
India. but that is adulterated with the oil
oIlemon grass. Those who make the at
tar of roses of commerce pick the roses be-
lore sunrise, as soon as they open. The
leaves are put into clay stills with twice
their own weight of water What passes
oil is put up and sold under the name of
rosewater. The altar floats on top ia the
shane OF oily glObules, which harden in
the cool night air. and these are collected
IN the morning. Sixty pounds of rose
leaves Will produce one ounce of altar.
