INTRODUCED TO MISS LEHlGH.
praised his book in a subtle, delicate
yelled manner in language as choice
and elegant as II borrowed-as per-
chance it was-from the pages of an old
manual of polite correspondence.
As the writer. Miss Annabel Lehigh,
gave her address in Boston, and
begged for an autograph letter from
him, the poet wrote short note thank
ing her for her kind praise. In few
days he received another letter from
her in which she confessed that she,
too, had been scorched by the flames
of the divine fire of poetry and begged
him to pass judgment upon some lines
inclosed. The lines were. to say the
least, excellent. and. while they had n
familiar ring in Mr.. Browns mental
ear. as if he had read something very
like them in some long forgotten vol
uwe, he could not believe the gentle
writer guilty of plagiarism, and wrote
commencing her verses.
This called forth so immediate an
answer, with more poems to be criti-
cised, that Mr.. Brown was startled. and
vet, having fallen into the correspond
ence. scarce knew how to eXtricate him
self, so at the end of the month the
limit set for his daughters visit, he had
quite packet of letters from Miss An
Mabel.
Singularly enough. he had neglected
telling his wife OF the affair, but de-
termined to take Emily into his conf
dence, especially as he knew she would
discover the matter for herself. The
determination was strengthened by the
receipt of lengthy missive from Miss
Annabea. in which. after declaring that
her heart told her that he was not only
young and handsome, but unmarried
and waiting yearningly for his affinity
she boldly declared herself that afln'
ity and babe him fly to her arms.
Mr.. Brown had not expected any suci
complication to arise and was truly
alarmed. 1t was. therefore. with q
strong feeling Of relief that he shifted
his burden onto Miss Emily's SHAPED,
shoulders. She being blessed with .
keen sense Of humor, saw only th'

of perfumes are in London, Paris and the
towns of South France and North Italy.
| The precious ointment which woman
poured upon the feet Of Christ was
highly pefumed SO that the odor filled the
house.
In Exodus, 80, an account is given of
the oil of holy ointment made by Moses
from myrrh cinnamon, calamus, cassia
and olive oil.
Pliny says that speclal perfumes not
allowed to any but the members of the
royal family were prepared for the Ro-
man emperors.
| In ancient Egypt guests at a great
house were anointed with perfumed oil
by the servants of the establishment as
a mark of respect.
The medieval receipts for making per-
fumes showed that the manufacture was
exceedingly crude and the methods were
unscientific.
There are scores of references in the
Bible to the use of perfumes by the He
brews both in their religious services and
in private life.
Hippocrates is said to have greatly al
layed the violence Of the plague at Ath-
ems by a liberal use of perfumes in the
streets and houses.
Mines has for over century been
noted for its perfumes; speciality is
| made there Of those exacted from thyme,
| rosemary, aspic and lavender.
Alcoholic perfumes, manufactured by
| saturating alcohol with the odor of GER
tain fruits or flowers, were made as early
as the fourteenth century.
The Greeks, after exercising, always
annointed their bodies with perfumed
| oil, sometimes performing this annoint-
| ing three or four times day.
Greek and Roman wines were perfum-
| ed, generally by sleeping the leaves Of
roses or. viOlets in the liquor until it had
| acquired the odor of the flowers.
| All the perfumes, of whatever nature,
| are due to a volatile OIL the escape Of

When CaSharine de Medici went to

| her noted perfumer, who introduced
| many varieties of Italian perfumes
The records left us by the Phoenicians,
Assyrians and ancient Persians show that
| among all these nations the use of per-

When the Dutch destroyed all the Glove

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.


FLOUR-The week opens with conditions
ruling in the flour market unchanged from
those which have been in effect for some
little time past, In fact, the Iull occasioned
by holiday season has not been lifted and
the market drags on in the old rut with buy
crs generally holding off and taking only
small lots unless they can get the goods a
less than cost price which they are occa-
sionally able to do by taking large line,
and baSinS values on the present values rul-
ing In wheat, which prices the mills are not
now paying, as they generally have a good
supply of wheat on hand bought at less
money than the daily quotations this
board. The open quotations. however,
unchanged from what they have been all
along which are on cost basis Sales of
hrSt patents have been netting as high as
$3.12 here in wood and from that mp to s.. 40
for small lots direct to retailers. In case of
good sized order the price IS sometimes
made as low as 81 fiat and occasionally when
outside conditions especially favor a trade
prices pass through the So mark. There
are a good many bids from abroad being re-
ceived which allow $3.50 here III wood for
first patents but unless some conditions are
attached which make it policy for the mills
to accept these offers are turned down with
promptness. Domestic bakers are moving
fairly well around s.. 30. There appears to be
a good call for export bakers and red dog
is in good demand at comparatively good
values.
!. BRAN AND SHORTS-There is no i'm
provement in the market for these articles
and trade shows little inclination of bright
enfng up. The mills are all sellers but as
general thing their ideas appear to be a lit
tie too high. Quite a good deal of bran
could no doubt be sold at $3.50 but it is diff
hcult to get orders at 1915 although that is
the general quotation for standard bran.
Some mills hold their output of coarse bran
at $6 and occasionally small lot moves at
S6.25 but for a mill to sell any quantity at
however good, the price must be somewhere
around 1915 and then buyers are somewhat
indifferent. Shorts can be had of any mill
at 25c less than their price for bran in bulk.
FEED AND MEAL-The market for these
goods shows no change in any respect
cept as the prices for The materials in
crease, the tendency to hold firm on the part
of the mills increases. There is little price
cutting going on because to reduce the price
below the basis of SO for corn meal and
cracked corn would be to sell at a loss a
this time. 1t is claimed by milers that Of
ferings at less money can only be made at
the expense Of quality. Mixed feed is quot
ed at s9.25N975 according to grade.
BARLEY-There is nothing new to report
in this market excepting that some few cars
OF rather better quality have been coming
forward and the range of values indicated
by recent sales is somewhat widened Sales
are being made at 1Sm21c according to quail
ity of offerings.
