profitable. There is no reason why
we should not raise our own perfum-

try where flowers grow in such great
profusion and carry 80 high degree
Of juices. In the south of France,
where most of the worlds perfumes
are made, the climate is not SO favora.

expensive kind have to he used, and
the strength Of the flowers is obtained
only by the most asslduous cultiva.

flowers for the purpose grow wild, and
with the slightest cultivation CAN be
brought to very high degree OF per
fection. The perfume is SO pungent
that delicate people cannot sleep, and
many cannot even sit in room with
a bunch of ordinary blossoms. A lump
of wax placed in a chest or box, or
even cupboard with lilies, orange
blossoms or other varieties of flowers
will absorb their perfume through and

Nested In q Stirrup.

When the first warm breezes
brought up from the South the prom
ise of returning summer two sparrows
that had spent the winter among the
leahess trees of Lincoln Park began to
look about for place in which to
build home, says the Chicago Tri.
bune. Finally, after much flying
about the park and many twittering
consultations, they selected the Grant
monument. And here, secure from
molestation, they set about building
their nest in the left stirrup of the
great bronze figure. Many long and
fruitless quests were made for ma.
terial, but finally after long days of
labor the task was done. Here they
remained unobserved for days while
the mother bird nestled on the tiny
eggs and the father bird flew about in
quest of food till the sharp eye of the
Generals widow discovered them last
Saturday. Though they are now the
most famous sparrows IN the city, re.
nown has not changed their lives. The
mother still warns the five little eggs
against her downy breast and the
father goes marketing the Gyelong
day. Silent and motionless, horse and
rider stand looking ever seward,
never needing the life and happiness
so near. Before many days there will
be five little mouths to feed and both
parents will be busy all day long
bringing dainties for their young.

Beau Brummers Practical Joke.

Beau Brummel once met at a pub
lie dinner a pompous old French
Marquis, aud managed to put some
finely powdered sugar into his hair
powder. The weather was exceeding
ly hot, and the flies, of course, numer-
GUS. The Marquis relinquished his
knife and fork to drive off the enemy
with his handkerchief, but back the
whole swarm came, more teasing than
ever. Not wing was missing. Those
of the company who were not in the
secret could not help wondering at
the phenomenon, as the buzzing grew
louder and louder every mouent.
Matters grew still worse, when the
sugar, melting, poured down the
Frenchman's brow and face in thick
streams, for his tormentors then
changed their ground of action, and
having thus found more vulnerable
part, nearly drove him mad with their
stings. Unable to bear it any longer,
he clasped his head with both hands,
and rushed out of the room in cloud
of powder, followed by his persever-
ing tormentors and the laughter of
the company. New York Herald.

Philadelphia's Ancient Lock Up.

An old English dungeon has been
brought to light by the tearing down
of building in the rear OF a pickle
factory on Spruce street, below Sec
ond. The building is thought to hav
been more than 800 years old. Every
brick in it was brought from Eng
land, and the building was once the
pride of the little colony that lived
here. 1t was originally, it i: said, the
Court House of the settlement, and
underneath the ground were those
dungeons, or cells, in which prisoners
were kept. It is supposed that the
cells were used as temporary places
of confinement, and not for prisoners
serving long terms, much the same as
the "lock-ups" or station houses of
to-day. The bricks are as solid as in
the days of old, and will be used again
in another building. The old house
has been burned out several times,
but the walls were never damaged
much. The whole neighborhood is an
interesting one. The building adj
Joining the one torn down has fourth
floor, which is windowless. Instead
of the usual windows, it has port
holes, slanting downward, from which,
"in days of old, when knights were
bold" men probably picked off
prowling Indians or enemies of some
kind. philadelphia Press.

beam projects, and by which the up-

males of each clan were formerly re-
quired to sleep in the estufa, but it is
now used only for ceremonial and re-
liglous purposes. Estufa in Spanish
means stove. The name was given by
the early Spaniards to these subterran'
can rooms because they were of so
comfortable temperature in winter.

vest and famine, of sun and rain and

rattlesnakes are gathered from the
desert and handled with impunity, is
one of the most profoundly impressive
ceremonies ever witnessed. Chicago

Curious Feats of Swallowing.

It seems incredible when the state
ment is made that snake nine feet
long swallowed its companion eight
feet long. It appears from all accounts
that food WAS placed in the cage and
one of the boas, in attempting to secure
q piece of it, tried a sort OF tug-of.
war game with his fellow, with the re-
suit that he swallowed not only the
coveted morsel but took the other
snake in as we'll. This incident, which
occurred at the Geological Gardens in
London, is only one of numbers of
equally remarkable. Some years ago
number of men were spearine pike
in Western lake. Thespear entered
the head of the enormous fish, which
was landed in the boat. One Of the
fishermen observed that the sides OF
the pike appeared strangely agitated,
although the fish itself was unmis-
takably dead. Upon opening the
pike, q fish two-thirds its size was
found in its interior One of the most
notable things of this sort was that of
the encounter between the dog-fsh
and the octopus in the Brighton
Aquarium. The two were close neigh
bors, and one night the octopus scram.
bled to the top of the glass partition,
presumably on the lookout for some
thirg to eat. The dog-tish Immediately
seized upon and swallowed his for
midable visitor. Considering that the
octopus was of large size and was
known as a very bad customer to
handle, the performance of the dog
fish was looked upon as something
quite out Of the common.-New York

Medical Uses of Sugar.

There is very strong opinion
growing up among medical men, that
sugar has 8 remedial value that has
hitherto been wholly unappreciated.
As tonic and invigorator it's value
has been, in experimental cases, ex.
tremely satisfactory. A case in point
is related where a person from force
of circumstances had tasted for nearly
twelve hours. This patient was sub.
iect to the most violent headaches
from hunger OF lack of food. After a
certain period, a peculiar pressure or
congested feeling was noticed in the
head, invariably followed by acute
pain, sometimes by severe nausea.
These enforced fasts, occurring ct
frequent intervals, became the SUBJ
ject of some concern. One day the
Individual in question tried the ex-
pertinent of taking sugar and water,
this being the only available article
of food at the time. Several blocks OF
cut sugar were dipped into water and
eaten very slowly, with frequent
dippings so that the sugar was almost
entirely dissolved. When the opera.
tion began, the pressure in the head
was already very marked, and the
headache was coming on. Strange to
say, the unpleasant symptoms almost
Immediately left, there was no return
of them, and the stomach was in no.
wise disturbed. Repeated trials had
the same effect. and it seemed to be
foregone conclusion that with this
patient at least the sugar application
was a success. Further experiments
are being made, with view to de-
monstrate the value of cut sugar as a
luncheon where other food is not to
be had. 1t would be a simple and
easy matter to carry half a dozen
pieces of sugar in ones pocket, to be
indulged in with no other accompani-
ment but a glass of water, by this
means preventing or probably post
poning those frightful attacks OF
cerebal congestion and agony that
many persons are subject to.-New

boxes are of iron with leather collars
to make them fit the tubes. They are
often sent in trains of ten together.
