Grha Raltfrnora Sunl

Colonel James d. Brady the Internal
Revenue Collector in the Richmond (Va.)
District, found that he could eyade the
civil-service law and appointed his own
deputies under the provisions OF section
sl48 OF the Revised Statutes. Mr.. Parlett
has followed Colonel Brady's lead. and
IL now remains for President Mckinley
and his Cabinet TO determine whether
these officers of the government are 10
be allowed to ignore the spirit OF the
civil-seryice law and to fill their Offices
with partisans, or whether the plain in
tent OF the law shall be Tigidly enforced
and no employees be removed except for
good and sufficient cause. The section
of the Revised Statutes under which
Colonel Brady and Mr.. Pariett justify
their action must have been known to
President Mckinley when he issued his
order a few months ago excepting only
a few employees in internal revenue dis
tricts from the protection OF the classi-
fed civil service. The removal OF en-
ployees regardless OF that order Is a very
grave matter. and should receive the at
tention CT the President and his Cabinet
at once.

ALTAR OF ROSES.
How This Delicious and Expensive Per
fume Is Made.

fume Is Made.
The word "attar" is from the Arab
"itr, ;" and means perfume So altar Of
roses is simply perfume of roses. 1t is
brought from Turkey and the East In
dies in small walls and is very costly
Even on the spot where it is manufac-
tured it Is extremely dear. because it
requires 100, 600 we'll grown roses to
yield but $50 grains of altar
Its high price causes it to be often
adulterated with some essential or fixed
oil or with spermaceti. However the
adulteration may be detected by testing
it in watch glass with drop of sui
phuric acid If the altar be pure it will
remain colorless, for pure altar of roses
is colorless, but if it be adulterated it
will become darkened.
In rosetields, where the roses are
grown for the purpose of making the
altar, the bushes are planted in rows.
In the early morning they are laden
with beautiful roses, but ere noon comes
they are all gathered and their petals
distilled in clay stills, with twice their
weight of water.
The water that 'cones over" is put
into perfectly clean vessels and is then
carefully covered with damp muslin
cloths to keep out dust and insects. 1t
is afterward exposed to the night air or
to artificial cold. BY morning a film Of
oil has collected on the top of the water,
just as cream rises on milk This film
is swept off with a feather and very
carefully transferred to small vial
Night after night this process is repeated
until all of the precious oil is separated
