Flowers that have lost something of
their perfume are now scented artificial
ly by watering them with an alcoholic
solution of essence, using little glycer-
i'll to fix the odor. Thus, for violets, the
liquid is composed of 100 grams of
glycerin and 10 grams Of essence of
violet. In many places, while scented
violets are comparatively rare, the un
scented kinds grow wild in great profu-
sion. These are now bought up in large
quantities, scented artificially and put
into the market in advantageous compe-
tition with the perfumed violets grown
by the horticulturists. Cut flowers which
have wilted from time or transportation
are revived by being plunged into a
weak solution of sal ammoniac. Flowers
which have little or 10 scent are also
perfumed for sale by being put into a
box with ice and then saturated with
a current of carbonic acid charged with
perfume. Public Opinion.

Muscular Christianity.

The Westminster Budget tells char
acteristic story Of the late Rev. Peter
Mackenzie Of London. Many years ago.
after delivering lecture in q village
near Sunderland, he was returning to
his hosts house along a lonely road,
when he was accosted by robber. The
latter was a believer in the right Of
might and requested Mr.. Mackenzie to
turn out all the cash he had got. "Well.
my dear man." replied Mr.. Mackenzie,
''you know am big enough to thrash
you. If it's money you want, I'll give
you half Il CROWN The robber would
not accept this very charitable offer.
Mr.. Mackenzie "doffed" his coat and
gave him what the man is now pleased
to call "a dashed good hiding" That
thrashing did the man great service,
for he afterward left the paths of vice
and became one of Mr.. Mackenzie's
many converts.

An illUstrious Pupil.

1t was i'll 1893, when he was embas-

has lately furnished some particulars of
his former pupil.
The pronunciation of certain syllables
was great difficulty, and Bismarck got
out CT temper more than once, but he
finally mastered the language well
enough for his purpose, and then disput-

agreed upon.
Bismarck carefully kept his knowl-
edge Of Russian secret from the court,
with the result that he occasionally
CLEANED information not intended for
HIM, but on one occasion the car, who
was talking i'll Russian to Prince Gort-
silakotf, noticed that the ambassador was
looking very fiyedly at him, and at once
guessed the truth. He asked Bismarck,
point blank, if he understood Russian,
