FLOWERS AGE PERFUMED.

how sunGowers Are NJ de to Smell Like
TIN Rose.
To artifcially perfume flowers is the
latest fad in Paris. 1t has been found
possible not only to take away from
flower the odor given to it by nature,
but actually make it yield perfume
derived from some other vegetable
product.
There are, for instance, certain vio
let's with little or no odor, but very
beautiful as to form, while there are
others that are poor to look upon but
very rich in perfume. The transfer of
the odor from one species to the other
has been successfully performed il
Paris.
Again, the African marigold, which
is a handsome flower, has been robbed
of it's evil odor and given a perfume
that makes it really valuable and de-
licious. This lad for pertaining flowers
has even been pushed to the absurd
length of mparting the odor of the rose
to the sunflower, while chrysanthe-
NUNS have been made to smell like
the violet.
According to the method pursued the
flowers are placed in box, the interior
of which has been cooled with ice. Lead
ing into this box is pipe with holes
bored in it.
Through this pipe current of car
bonic acid gas perfumed with the de-
sired Odor is sent. This current is pro-
duCed by the evaporation of the liquid
carbonic acid, which is passed through
a sworn" like that used in distilling
whisky. The heated carbonic bubbles
up through a mass of the essential oil
containing the perfume and takes on
the properties of the odor, which is
then impaired to the flowers in the
box.
This machine is most commonly used
in strengthening the natural perfume
of certain flowers, like violets and roses.
In this way an intense perfume is OBJ
tanned, which will last for many days.
When it is desired to first rob a flower
OF it's natural odor before giving it that
OF some other flower, it is stepped in
bTomated water and then washed. In
the case of the African marigold, which
was robbed of it's smell, the seeds were
first allowed to soak for two days in
rose water containing a little musk.
Then they were partially dried and
sown.
The flowers that grew in time were
not entirely deprived of their bad odor,
but one was able to detect, mingled
with the original smell, the agreeable
odors of the rose and the musk. The
seeds of these plants being again sown
after similar treatment, it was found
that there was still further improve

Tho Stroke of Genius That Gave WeLIs
Known Reading Clerk His Place.
One of the interesting incidents at
the opening session of new congress
Is the selection of the reading clerk
of the house. The reading clerk is APP
pointed by the clerk of the house, but
candidates for Che place must take part
in "a competitive speaking contest" be-
fore the house. john y. Reeve, who V as
reading clerk during Harrison's admin
istration, was a politician from Cairo,
ILL.,, and one of the best-known charac-
tiers in Washington at the time. Reeves
tells this story:
81 didn't suppose l had any show for
the place when it came to the test" said
he, for most of the candidates were
college men, and some were elocution-
lists, while the only elocution | had ever
practiced was calling hogs in southern
Illinois, though l had been able to get
up in political meeting and make the
fellows on the back seats hear me; SO
l thought | would go into the contest
anyhow, and do my best in my own
way. But you ought to have heard
those elocutionists; TIE way they rolled
their RS and Kissed their SIS, and said
'ah' and ~ was caution! Some of
them didn't talk like human teings,
and others had voices SO rich and melo-
dious you couldn't hear them 10 feet
away.
"By the time my turn came had
sized up the hall and knew just about
where to throw my voice, and L de-
termined to make myself heard if l
did nothing else. Each candidate had
received copy of the house bill 10 read.
l noticed that the other fellows start
ed out this way: 'Uh BILL and so on.
Now, 'uh' is a sound that won't carry,
and you can't attract the attention of
the house by granting 'Uh!' So when
l started l sang out in loud, clear voice
that took them off their feet: 'A2;l-a-a-a

improvements at Washington
Junction Completed.

The-long felt want of better accom-
modations at Washington Junction,
on the Baltimore and Ohio, has been
completed. Under the direction of M.
l. Welsh 81 Son, of Baltimore, general
contractors, the old station at the
Junction has undergone complete
change, and one that will meet with
the general appreciation of the travel
ling public. The upsightly reception
room so long used as a smoking and
loafing place, as well as the ladies'
waiting room, will in the future be des-
ignated as the gentlemen's waiting
room. The big ware room on the eX-
IRENE east of the building, which was
the freight room, and but little used,
has been made into ladies' waiting
room, with closets and wash stands.
Wash rooms are also fitted up for. gen
tlemen. There are few stations along
the entire route more in general use
than that at Washington Junction,
and this late improvement will be
greatly appreciated by those who are
often compelled to wait at this point
for east and west bound trains. Ev-
erything presents a very neat APP
pearance. Mr.. w. F. Harrison
is the general agent at the Junction,
Mr.. w. @. Stouffer, the genial tele-

islands once when some Of the natives
came aboard. 1t was an awfully hot
day, and had just been getting some
ice up from below. The natives looked
at 1t curiously and so handed one a
chunk. The moment it touched his
hand he dropped it like hot shot and
looked at his palms to see if they were
burned. After deal of jabbering they
all sat around it and watched it melt.
They couldn't understand it at all,
and when there was nothing left but a
wet spot on the deck they sat around
it and discussed the phenomenon.
