Among newspaper men there is pecul-
lar class that royes from place TO place,

now fashionable human peril appendicitis,
intensified and prolonged In this great
mammal, yet that dread ailment that has
but lately been understood by the surgeons
and medical men of the world
To the conservative whale fisher of New
Bedford or Proyincetown the discovery of
ambergris Is as unexpected and as longed
for as the sheeny splendor of the pearl that
gladdens the pearl fisher Almost awe
stricken are the sailors when the cry OF
"ambergris" Is uttered. This Is the happy
event Of lifetime. The substance Is care
fully taken from the bowels of the whale
and Is packed in casks IL IL Is in liquid
form, or in sacks II it is dry enough.
Ii is then brought direct to Boston,
where il IL appraised by the head Of the
largest wholesale drug firm In the city.
This young man has no enviable task be-
fore him in ascertainipg the value OF the
article He has TO examine the fetid mass,
which Is sometimes In II rank liquid state,
sometimes of the consistency of soft putty,
and again chalklise substance. That
which Is more like putty usually is to be
relied on for making the best market am
bergris, and gradually, as it dries, the on
ly curing process it undergoes, the un-
wholesome dark shade turns to soft
squirrel gray. The substance lightens in
weight, developing a fascinating odor al
most indescribable, like the blending OF
new mown hay, the damp woody fragrance
of fern copse and the faintest possible
perfume of tho violet.
And to what use Is ambergris puts II is
an indispensable article with fine perfum
ers, as IL is used TO give permanency and
lasting qualities to very fleeting scents. IL
is curious fact that the keynote OF basis
Of "nosegays' or bouquets, as handker-
chief odcrs arc called, Is not, as one might
suppose, the altar of garden flowers, nei-
ther the penetrating balsams. These are
indispensable, but are not the groundwork.
That basis Is always one of the four ami
nal odors-i. o., ambergris; musk. obtain
ed from small musk deer of Asia; civet,
from the ciyct cat OF India, and castor, a
secretion OF the castor beaver and now al
most obsolete in the perfume trade. The
pure and separate tincture Of any one OF
these odors is too intense and powerful Go
be tolerated. Like all substances OF the
kind, IL must undergo a slow decomposi-
tion till the remninders possess very little
volatility. Even then they contain a vir-
tue which clings pertinaciously to woven
fabrics, and not being soluble In weak al
kalino lyes Is still TO be detected In the
material after passing through the sever
est lavatory ordeal. They are, therefore,
OF great value 10 the perfumer and are
the foundation In almost every formula. -
