Making Perfumes att Home.

A number of young ladies in Pomona
are engaged at odd times in making
their own perfumes in this season of
flowers and blossoms. The orange
blossoms and roses are more generally
used in preparing perfumery, and the
following is the method most popular
here
Procure pieces of glass of the desired
size, and make around that frame or
sash, allowing the sash or frame to
project two or three inches above the
glass. On the glass spread pure lard,
suet or other animal grease, about
quarter of an inch thick. Gather the
flowers early in the morning and cover
the grease on the glass with them.
The next day remove the flowers and
"work up" the grease and put on a
fresh supply of blossoms.
Repeat these operations daily until
the grease is thoroughly impregnated
with the odor of the flowers. Then
scrape it off with knife and put it in
a glass jar, to which should be added
enough alcohol or cologne spirits to
cover it. Allow the perfumed grease
and spirits to remain together for two
or three weeks; then filter it through
ordinary tiltering paper, and, if sue
cessful, you will have perfume almost
equal to the high-priced articles pur
chased of druggists. Pomona (Cal.

WHY HORSES ARE SWIFT.


Their Speed Was Developed in Trying to
Escape Their Enemies.
were 1t not for the wolves that noble
creature, the horse, would not be the
neet-footed animal that it is to-day.
mus writes DIR. Louis Robinson in the
current North American Review. The
wolves and the wild horses, he SAYS,
We're constantly at war and moreover
the wolf was the only predatory beast
existing in ancient times which was
able to pursue the horse and hunt it
down on the open steppe. The gallop-
Ing power of the horse was thus de-
veloped to enable it to escape these
gaunt and persistent foes.
Even now after many centuries OF
training some of the habits Of The horse
IN wild state crop out. "Shying" is
undoubtedly a relic of an ancestral in
stlnct. The wild horse, swift of foot
and keen of vision, feared few enemies
when out on the open plain, but every
bush and tuft of grass might and often
did contain fierce foe lying in am
bush. Many time must the wild
horse have saved his life by o. sudden
swerve and leap IN the opposite direc
ton the moment he heard the rustic OF
leaves or deserted some strange and
dlmly outlined object amid the under.
wood. To-day many horses tremble
with terror on hearing the rustic OF
reeds by a river bank. Their panic
tells us tale of many tragic incident
OF the remote past, when the herds OF
wild desert steeds, parched with thirst,
sought the water courses, whore was
grass with reeds and rushes,n and
were there pounced upon by leopards,
OF tigers, crouching, concealed, on the
watch for prey.
On account of the close association of
dogs and horses the latter have not
now any dread of the former, but there
are instances when young horses went
almost wild with fright when surround
ed for the first time by packs of fox
hounds. In hunting coyotes on the
pralries horses enter the sport with
enthusiasm, straining every nerve to
catch the wolves and striking at them
with their hoofs. 1t is as though they
We're having revenge for the persecu-
tion of their ancestors.

Secrets OF Chewing Gum Makers.

A chewing gum factory that claims
the distinction of being the third larg-
est in the world may be found within
the gates of Chicago. Though one is
not permitted even to glance into the
great room where the clang of ma
chinery indicates the sacred spot, and
though one cannot converse with the
liege lord who, locked in his private
Office, concocts mixtures to tickle the
palate of the professional gum chewer,
there are many interesting things to
be heard and seen in the packing de-
partment.
One of the managers laughed aloud
at the bare suggestion of admittance
being refused on the ground that the
ingredients are injurious.
''Some people actually think" he
said, 'that chewin gum is made from
old rubber boots and refuse matter
The fact is that only pure materials are
used, the principal ingredient being
an emulation from species of rubber
tree native in Mexico"
What is the appearance of this SUBJ
stance?"
cit is thick brown sap of the con-
sistency and color of maple syrup. We
get it the original state, with particles
of bark and dirt. This goes through
a long process of cleaning. Then OF
course the process of making is a pro-
found secret There is man in our
employ, by the way, who for twenty
one years has done nothing else but ex-
pertinent on new brands of chewing
gum. No, even manager could not
take his wife through the factory, SO
rigid are the rules. Each employe
knows only his particular part of the
work, so the secret of making, as
whole, is preserved"
"Are the materials expensive?"
eyes, for the original gum costs
81. 10 pound in ton lots, and the
essential oils used cost 81 pint.
These are the principal ingredients. -

Magneuizea the Bayonets.

A singular alteration OF the side
arms OF marines on board English
ships is reported. 1t appears that
the bayonets belonging to the ma
rines have, in many cases, become
highly magnetized through contact
with, or close proximity to, dynamos,
and the result is that compasses have
become affected by sentries passing
near there when wearing these side
arms. An order has been issued that
in future sentries are not to wear
Sidearms when on duty in the neigh
borhood Of dynamos, and it is ex-
pected that this will overcome the
difficulty. Electrical Review.

One OF Private ALIENS Tales.


Congressman Allen, OF Mississippi.
tells this story: Down In my neigh
borhood there was bad feeling between
two lawyers, and it was decided that
only blood could wipe out the enmity
which existed. A challenge was sent
and duly acknowledged. The hour
was appointed and the two men met In
a secluded spot. One OF them was 3
great sufferer from st. Vitus' dance.
the other was cool and collected. As
they faced each other the afflicted
man began to tremble from head to
foot, while his pistol described an arc
with varying up and down strokes.
His opponent stood firm as rock,
waiting for the signal to fire. Before
1t came, however, he laid his pistol
on the ground, walked into the woods,
and cut a limb of tree with a fork In
the end of it. This he brought back
and stuck in the ground in front of his
antagonist. Then turning to the Sec
end, he said: i must request you to
ask your principal to rest his pistol in
that fork
What for? asked his opponents
second
~ ell, replied the other. i have
no objection to running the risk of one
shot, but | certainly do decline having
one bullet make a honeycomb Of me.
II that man was to shoot while his
hand is shaking the way it Is now he
would fill me full Of holes at his first
shot,
"This was too much for the sec.
onds, and, by mutual agreement,
truce was patched up and no shots
were exchanged"

A Cool Soldier.

A fellow campaignor with the late
Gen. Curetcn, who died at Kearnsey,
near Dover, lately told the following
story illustrative OF the gallant officer!
sang froid when on active service
During the Kaffir war Gen Curetor
and three other officers were sitting in
a bell tent playing whist by the light
of a candle stuck in bottle. A desul
tory fire was kept up by the enemy,
but of this no note was taken, although
several shots passed clean through the
tent. Presently, however, the bullet
struck the bottle candlestick, putting
the light out. The cards were care
fully laid face downward, and, calling
out the guard, Gen. Cureton ordered
them to pour a volley in the direction
of the firing. He then procured an,
other bottle, relit the candle, and the
game was quietly finished, Gen. Cure.
