FLOWERS ARE PERFUMED.
How sunflowers Are Made to Smell Like
 the Rose.

hoW sunHoWers Are Made to Smell Like
 the Rose.
 To artiicially perfume flowers is the latest fad in Paris. It has been found possible not only to take away from a flower the odor given to it by nature, but actually make it yield a perfume derived from some other vegetable product.
 There are, for instance, certain yio- 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 in Paris.
 Again, the African marigold, which is a handsome flower, has been robbed of its evil odor and given a perfume that makes it really valuable and de- hcious. This fad for pertaining flowers has even been pushed to the absurd length of imparting the odor of the rose to the sunfower, while chrysanthe- nuns have been made to smell like the violet
 According to the method pursued the flowers are placed in a 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 a current of car bonic acid gas perfumed with the de- sired odor is sent. This current Is pro- duoed by the evaporation of the liquid carbonic acid, which is passed through worm" like that used in distilline whisky. The heated carbonic bubbles up through mass of the essential oil containing the perfume and takes OF the properties of the odor, which ia then imparted to the flowers in tho 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 ob- tained, which will last for many days.
 When it is desired to irst rob n flower of it's natural odor before giving it that oi some other flower it is steeped in bromated water and then washed. In the case of the African marigold, which was robbed of it's smell, the seeds were hrst 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 Dlants heinp arain cox,,, after similar treatment, it was found that there was still further improve nent.-N. Y. World.

NO THIRD PERSON.

The audience fairly roared. She was such a clever actress. It was a com monplace bit of action-a lovers quar- rel and the discomfiting of the man. The often repeated situation. It was the actress laugh which was inimita- ble. Ut sounded like a bushel of seed pearls split on the floor" A critic had written up her special laugh in that way, and it was deemed a capital bit of description, when it was really noth- ing more than vocal gymnastic, which trick can be acquired at cost of not much more than few days practice.
 The actor was, perhaps. trifie clum- sy and clustering; followed his own nature, and to carry out the role all the better for that.
 The occupants of a side box seemed to appreciate the scenic conditions, and joined merrily in the laughter. There was one handsome young woman you might think was enjoying the play i'm mensely. Certainly a fan, put up as a screen, permits of restrained laugh ter, for you cannot, if you are woman in full toilet, laugh at your ease where seated bolt upright. It is painful and constrained position. A Greek woman could have laughed so much more com fortably in her flowing draperies.
 If you had tried to listen for laughter behind that screen or sought for d change of pose, you would have neither heard nor seen one or the other. Quite fA hn bn ,,,nrtth q down hard and would have been rigid. Maybe a lip would have borne the in dentation of tooth had it not been for the quivering of her face. An inclina- tion to cry? That was absurd, but as in all emotional conflicts there is the climax of nervous energy, which must be dispersed in some way or other, so it was that the fan had suffered, and when the owner of it heard one of the ivory slats crack the crisis had passed, and then she came to herself again. Her chaperon, who was in the front of the box, turned and said to her:
 Julia, your fan, please. An old lady must be ugly when she laughs. It is unbecoming of mature age, and then the exertion of side splitting has msle me warm."
 There really are as many good ac- tresses in the boxes as on the stage, and so the handsome young woman instant ly made up her face, turned on the laugh, so as to express it, and said: "It's too absurd. The lights hurt my eyes," Then she assumed not digni- fled but glum silence, and for the next half hour she saw no more of the play than if she had not been in the audience.
 You look bored, dear," said the chaperon. II know l am. The rest of the play must De commonplace. The inevitable, hackneyed conclusion. They make it up, and there is kissing and hugging all around. Let us go home. We will chat then for half an hour"
 Oh! if only the chaperon, the aunt who lived with her, had not offered to do that! She had longed so much to be alone. The old lady and the young one left the theater. As they passed into the corridor Julia happened to cast her eyes just where there was human ob- struction. A gentleman bowed to the two women. Disengaging himself from the crowd he neared Julia and said: T hear you are going abroad, Miss Royal. l shall be sure to look YOU up somewhere in Paris or London.
