Some Costly Perfumes.

Monte Carlo is the place TO get essence
of orris and the only place. When wom-
an is caught In that wicked little princi-
pality and feels called to explain, she can
always say that she came for supply of
orris violet and be believed. The price,
like everything else, is as high as the Alps.
A four ounce bottle sells at 75 francs, but
one drop on the lace collarette or revers
will make the whole dress smell like q
violet The violet OF GrgssG, which be
longs TO Nice is exquisite and preferred GO
Monte Carlo by the people who dctest tho
very mention of the gamblers paradise. 1t
has such an affinity for silk that if the dry
stopper is wiped with a rufllc the scent
will cling to it like roses in Moore's vase.
But tho, violet Of violcts is the ajcardi,
found ia san Reno which is mentioned
in the guidcbooKs and has actually added
TO the fame Of the place. The scent, a
triple extract is sold exclusively in little
shop below the sidewalk, at SO bottle Of
about six ounces. This violet shop is vio-
let scented and bottle walled, and buyers
come from all tho courts and gay cities Of
Europe. No lover of violet scent will ever
know the true scent OF violcrs until she

Gen. qordon,s nullet Mnrta.

The reporter for the New Orleans Times
Democrat, recently inquired about the deep
wound which shows like the entrance to
cavern in Gen Gordon's cheek. Then the
general told about how he had received this
wound at Antietam. 1t was the last Of five
wounds that he had received at that battle.
First bullet had entered his right log and
the another had penetrated almost the same
place. After that ball had shattered his
right arm and q minnie ball crashed into his
left shoulder blade. He was let alone for a
while and then a bullet buried itself in his
left check Just under the eve. He bled so
much that he couldn't see, and after that he
grew unconscious.

long with all these wounds

Indians they all thought that it was painted.
Just as they universally paint their own
bodies and faces and heads. An old chief
came up to me one day and looked al my hair
very carefully. Ugh said he, and then turn
in charge, he asked him to ask ne
where l got the kind Of paint that would
color and not be greasy or look dauby. The
guide told him my hair wasn't painteN, but
he wouldn't believe him. He came over and
once more closely scrutintZed my locks, run

his fingers. didn't know what he was after.
l had an idea that he was calculating how
nice my red scalp would look hung about his
dirty old body, and was inclined to resent it..
Our guide, however, laughinylY told me wha I
the old chief had said. Two or three more of
the bucks gathered about us. and they and
the guide had powWow. Finally the guide
asked me If / would OBJECT to putting water

L TOOK some water and rubbed it on my hair
and then showed my hands to them. II took
four or five days OF wondering examination to
convince them that hadn't found some par
tcularly fine paint and got myself up in a
bright red suit of hair.

The Tax on Tin.

There has not been so much banging
and changing of tin plates by the high tar
if people during the past year as there
was when the passage Of the Mckinley
bill was under discussion. The reason is.
the American tin mines have not come up
to what it was predicted they would.
The total production in 1892 was
only 10000 pounds. Instead of their
giving employment to thousands of
workingmen, as the republicans said
they would when the infant industry
had been fostered by a high tariff, some
of the mines have been abandoned as I'M
profitable, and those that remain in oper-
alton employ only few men and produce
but small proportion of the tin that is
annually used in this country. The tax
on block tin, therefore, has operated
against every user of tinware and in IA
vor Of only handful of mine owners and
their limited number of employes-though
it may be doubted that the employees have
been much benefited.
Whenever the tin tax has been alluded
to by the republicans during the debate
on the Wilson bill, however, they have
claimed that consumers in the United
States pay no more for their tin now than
they did before the Mckinley tariff went
into effect But a table and chart,
showing the movements of the markets
for steel, iron and tin, recently published
by the Iron Age, an authority in its line,
prove that the claim is not founded on
fact. According to the Iron Ages statis-
tics, the advance in tin plates commenced
in May, 1890, when it seemed likely that
the Mckinley bill would become a law,
and has continued until the present time,
with but few fluctuations. In the mean
time pig tin abroad, and iron and steel at
home and abroad, have declined But for
the impost on pig tin levied by the Nc
Kinley bill, the price of that article
would have followed the general market.
AS it is, the price is four cents per pound
higher in this country than it is in Lon
don, the difference being just about the
amount of duty levied by the Mckinley
law. That difference, of course, the
masses are paying for the benefit of the
corporars guard of producers of tin in
this country.

An Echo of the Battle.

his way home from Florida, TO a Washington
Post man. Most OF the big banks had rep
resentative layouts there and one young fel-
low named Gursett. l think was about the
gAmest citizen l ever saw behind box. He
was Canadian, and looked Ikea slim Bru

OF the regulars knew him when he came
down. but they did before he WAS there long
he gave limit OF 600 to cases and S4OO to
doubles. and did his own dealing pretty much
all the time. He was right lucky. too. One
NIGHT young swell came in with that weary
walk the dudes affect. and drawlod out:
What your limit my good man.
The K anuck looked up at him and sized
him as he thought, for a buffer, and an

THE dude went down in his &c. ket. pulled
out roll and put 1t on the five spot. The
card won on the turn. GurSett picked up the
bundle and opened 1t. He counted g 80.
Without word he dropped it in the drawer
and put a red chip on the five spot. The
dude looked at him steadily. and he returned
the glance quietly. Neither said word for
moment. Atlast the player inquired with the
same drawl.
is there another five in the box?'
The casekeeper replied in the ahlrma-

courtesy.
CIursett picked up the red chip as carelessly
as If 1t represented Sl25 instead of "A 800, and
set 1t on top OF 4 checker. Then he pushed
out the cards. The nine OF spades showed,
and right under it was the the five of hearts.
The player had lost. Gursett hllipped the
red into the check rack and awaited develop
ments.
Pretty quick action, that, remarked the
dude, with smile and he strolled out as I'M
concerned as you please. I reckon that was
