freed by a Tiger.

The London Graphic tells an amusing
story of an occurrence which happened at a
railway station in y orthern India recently.
The party most concerned was an assist
ant at the station. Being confronted by
a tiger when about to light tie signal lamps,
the man promptly took refuge up the signal
post, and was only released from this un-
pleasant and dangerous position when an
approaching train drove the animal away.
The following letter descriptive of the &C.
ou1rence from the native station-master is
amusing because it's style is SO very charac-
teristic of the Bengal Babu:

Superintendent r. and X. Railway.
''Sir: / beg to bring to your kind notice
that no sooner the Waterman DiIsaak

moment he was greatly alarmed, but fortu-
nately the Almighty assisted him, and

half an hour. When the train whistIed
he began to roar. and aroused at the distant

housewife the task of replacing the old
bosoms with new ones and thereby saving

4 writer who has, had experience in this
matter of shirt repairing tells her plan
in Harper's Bazaar. She says: The
shirts were washed for the purpose of
removing every vestige of starch, then
ironed smooth. A different course was
followed with each one, according to its
need of repairs. If the neckband was
worn beyond repair it was ripped off and
a pattern taken from it. This was very
careful piece of work, for almost every
thing depends upon the size and shape of
the neckband Then, instead of remov-
ing the old bosom, which was entirely
whole around it's outer edge, there was

Some Uses of Charcoal.
: A teaspoonful of powdered charcoal
stirred into a glass of cold water and
drank by person suffering from SICK
headache caused by a disordered stom-
ach will often afford relief 1t absorps
the disturbing gases and relieves the
nerves, 1t will often alleviate consSl-
patton and disturbed condition OF the
bowels; also it is corrective of heart
burn.
Charcoal ia an excellent ingredient in
poultices which are applied to mallgnant
ulcers and old sorts. 1t is good ap-
pIication to the dressings of wounds
when the flesh is torn or mangled.
A hin, fat piece of charcoal bound
tightly on a superficial burn will relieve
the pain almost Immediately, and is
very healing, if the burn is such that
it can be kept in place.
it is also a disinfectant, purifying
offensive air by absorbing noxious odors
1t should be placed on trays in sick
rooms where the character of diseases
and condition of patients render the air
especially impure and unhealthful. 1t
il said that charcoal will absorb ninety
per cent. of it's bulk of ammoniacal gas,
hence if used freely over compost heaps
it not only prevents unpleasant odors,
but renders the compost more valuable
by retaining the ammonia which would
otherwise pass off. If freely applied to
any offensive or decaying animal matter
it will not only render the odor less
perceptible, but the immediate atmos-
phere will not be as likely to produce
deleterious consequences if it must be
breathed. If sprinkled over and about
fresh meat it will prolong it's keeping
qualities. Ii used freely on meat that
is little off favor it will sweeten it.
1t will also cleanse impure water and
sweeten foul breath caused by decayIng

AS disinfectant it "glves no disagreed

Altar of Roses.

Since the emancipation of the Balkan
Provinces the manufacture of altar of
roses has become a great industry in
Bulgaria and has been taken up on a
large scale in Germany. We have all
been accustomed to connect the fabrica-
ton of altar of roses with Persia and
Syria, and even now India and Constan
tinople furnish probably the largest
markets for it; but, although the art
of making it was discovered in Persia,
the manufacture has now nearly or
quite died out, and the centre of the
business is now the country about KaZan-
Hk, on the south slope of the Balkans,
close to the Shipka, or Wild Rose Pass
famous in the history of the Russo
Turkish War. The rose growing belt is
SITUATED at an average altitude of /, 900
feet above the sea, and extends to a
length of about seventy miles, with an
average breadth of ten miles. On this
ground are produced annually from
5000, 900, 900, to 6,ooo, 900, 900 rose BIOS
SONS.
The nun Der of varieties cultivated Is
very small. Ninety per cent. OF all the
blossoms aIe taken from bushy variety
of the Rosa DamasceDa, or damask rose,
known to our gardeners mainly as the
ancestor from which the infinite variety
of hybrid perpetual roses derive large
part of their blood. OF the remaining
10 per cent part are gathered from the
white musk rose, which is frequently
planted as hedge around the fields of
pink Damascena, while the rest are fur
nished by dark red variety of Damas-
Gena. Other sort of roses have been
tried, but some yield no altar at all, and
others give an essence having the per-
fume of violets or pineapples or hyacinth
rather than of roses.

More plants are injured, if not ruined,
bv over and untimely watering than from
any other cause, says American Garden
ing. Do not apply water until the plant
asks for it, which it will do by grace
full dropping of the foliage when the sun
shines fully upon it; then water amply,
as though it rained hard, and do not
water again until needed. The common
practice of watering regularly, morning
and evening, without regard to necessi-
ty, is a frequent cause of plant disease.
Some days plant will require far more
water than on others, as evaporation is
more or less rapid; observe this and act
accordingly.
