FLOWERS ARE PERFuMED.
How SunHewerg Are Made to Smell Like
the Rose.

How SunAowers Are Made to Smell Like
the Rose.
To artifcially perfume flowers is the
latest Fad in Paris. 1t has been found
Epossible not only 10 take away from .
Flower the odOr given to it by mature,
but actually make it yield perfume
derived from some other vegetable
product
There are, for Instance, certain vio-
lets with little on no. odor, but very
beautiful as to form, while there are
others that are poor to- look upon but
very rich IN perfunrs. The Transfers of
the odor from one species to the other
has been successfully performed in
Paris.
Again, the African n1aefgold, which
is a handsome flower, has been robbed
of its evil odor and given q perfume
that makes it really valuable and de-
licious. This lad for pertaining flowers
has even been pushed to- the absurd
Hiength of imparting the odorof the rose
to the sunfower, while chSysanthe-
rnums have been made to smell like
tine violet.
|. according to the method pursued the
flowers are placed in box, theAinterior
of which has been cooled with iee.. Lead
ling into this box is pipe with holes
bored In it.
| Through this pipe a currentSof car
bonic. acid gas perfumed with the de-
sired odOr is sent. This current!is pro-
duced by the evaporation of theeliqlBid
carbenic acid, which is passed through
whisky. The heated carbonic bubbles
up throagh a mass of the essential cal
containing the perfume and takes on
the. properties of the odor, which is
then, impaired to the flowers inn the
box.
ThisNnnchine is most commonly,tIseeE
in strengthening the natural perfunlta
OF certain flowers, like violets and roses
In this way an intense perfume issObd'
tained,. which will last for many days.

FEEDING OYSTERS.
Al Plan to Fatten Them ON Pure Ma
teriaIs.


terials.
Oysters, being scayengers, fatten fast
est in ocean waters fed by river drain
age. This, explains why oystermen
transfer the. oysters by ship loads from
the. bays along the Atlantic coast, where
they multiply rapidly, but where, in
consequence of the lack of food, they
are stunted in growth, to the estuaries
of Connecticut, New York and New Jer-
sey. Lit is believed, however, by many
OF the oyster growers that if the BIZ
valves could be fattened in pure sea
water they would be of better flavor,
as we'll as more wholesome. The diff
Guilty has been to provide the proper
food. After seven years of experiment
these oyster growers have hopes that
the difficulty has been overcome. The
new method, which aims to supply the
requirements of pure water and the
necessary food, has been put in prac-
tice on the shores of eastern Virginia.
Situated, as it is, near the end of. the
peninsula, there are no streams of any
size flowing into the bay, and thewateT
is as unpolluted as that of the ocean, III
self. In the low, marshy ground that
fringes the bay number of parallel
canals are to be eXcavated, the sea water
being admitted into them by s4uice
gates. In these canals the oYstar will
be grown. The mollusks will find there
their natural food, which consists of
diatoms and other minute algaes which
are reproduced in prodigious quantities
under the conditions existing of the
mixture of salt water with a small per-
centage of fresh water. The practical
bility of the plan has already been
shown on a small scale. Thus far the
practice has been followed of trans
planting the small oysters from the beds
of the canals. But with the plan in full
operation this will not be necessary,
as the canals open right on the breed
ing grounds, and during the early sum-
mer, when the spawn is given off, it viii
float into the canals, and oyster beds
will be planted naturally. OtheR adj
vantages claimed for the new n&thod
of culture are the easy exclusion OF the
enemies of the oyster and the esnveni-
cnce of harvesting.-N. Y. Poss.

college course at Carthage. Miss Bartlett, out
of respect to the wishes Of her near relatives.
who were opposed to her entering the minis
try, deferred the realization OF her project
for time and entered the realm
of Journalism, becoming reporter on the
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune. So well adapted was
she to the work that in a few months she
became assistant city editor While filling
this position a letter came to the Tribune
from the Morning Times OF Oshkosh, WIS,
asking for a city editor for that paper, and
Miss Bartlett was given the place. Oshkosh
was then but a lumber town, and the youth
full journalist found rough element to deal
with even on the repertOrial stan; yet she
came off conqueror and made so marked a
success of editing that she was next offered
a similar. but more lucrative, position on a
leading daily In Sioux City, Dakota
This position she retained until the way
was clear for her to engage in the higher
work which she had not lost sight OF. in
the years OF her journalistic success. Her
rapid rise in the newspaper world demon
strated unquestionably thatshe would have
become one OF the foremost women in this
position had she chosen to continue 1t, but
her heart was otherwise.
The transition from journalism to the min
istry was made at Sioux Falls, where Miss
Bartlett became assistant pastor or a Uni
tartan church, whose regular pastor was a
woman. The experience gained here enabled

our girls, saying that they looked frail,
nervous, lacking In physical strength. That
his remarks were true none deny. He at
tributed such condition to ovenstudy and
lack OF exercise. We admitted that, too, but
going deeper we found this lack OF exercise
and consequent nervous exhaustion was the
result, in large measure, of clothing not
| adapted to its purpose. Heavy skirts, sup
ported by tight belts, are not calculated to
make walking joy to their wearer. and
climbing up Normal hill on a wet or windy
morning In such garb is about all the eX-

Tor the better health Of our girls Could we
find costume that would be at once health

Would all the teachers approve of its adop-
ton? Would enough girls take hold OF the
movement to make it a success?
These questions have been answered and
the first day OF the winter term apppro-
their hearts, over 100 of the young women
of the Iowa State Normal school have ap
peared in what has been adopted as the
school suit This consists of a skirt six
inches from the floor. jacket to wear over
shirt or fancy waists, leggngs for protec-
ton in cold or stormy weather, and a plain
hat or cap to match.
lit is not expected that all will wear the
same material or color though dark blue
storm serge or cheviot is recommended as
probably most serviceable and appropriate
individuality may be emphasized in waists
collars and ties. while uniformity of style
Will prove an advantage. Rational under
clothing is insisted upon; eXtremities are to
be warmly dressed heavy skirts to be abol-
ished, and the weight of the clothing to be
evenly distributed.
"This may all be done in such costume
and yet the whole effect may be perfectly
feminine and modest. The length of the
skirt is the only point which can be criti-
cised, and even that, does it's wcarer pos
sCss a bicycle, is unhoeded. Why, then,
should our girls be condemned for adopting
that which has proved itself healthful be-
coming, economical and sensible?
THAT there will be criticism, none can
doubt. That the criticism will cease with
knowledge Is equally sure. The Normal
school can afford to lead in any movement
which is for the betterment of the teachers

and girls here are adopting a working suit
