Marietta, Ohio, February l9.-The
mysterious disappearance of Miss Kate
German, the beautiful seventeen-year-
old daughter of John German, and
we'll known young lady, has created
sensation in this city.
Wednesday night she retired, as US
ual, but it was discovered the following
morning that she had not occupied her
room. All Gearch for her has thus far
proved unayailing. She had given no
intimation of leaving home and no rea-
son is assigned for her disappearance.
1t was learned to-day that a ticket
over the B. & o. S. w. to Cincinnati,
was purchased, supposed to be for her,
by an unknown young man, and that
she left on the midnight train. Her
friends believe she is in Cincinnati or
st. Louis, and her brother. James Cor
man, left for the former city this morn
ing.
Mr.. Henry B'ckert, young man
with whom Miss German had kept COM
pany, left Tuesday night, ostensibly
for California, and the hope is express
ed that her disappearance is but an or
dinary elopement.
The long interval, however, which
has elapsed, without word from her,
causes the utmost anxiety.
The missing girl is of fair complexion.
light hair and has front teeth filed
with gold.

Perfumed Butter.

Perfumed butter on the dinner
table is the fad of royalty and of the
very rich in London. The diaries
where this butter is made are as odor-
GUS as florists shop or the laboratory
of perfumer. On all sides there are
flowers and jars of leaves, pressed and
loose.
At first glance it might be supposed
that the butter receives its subtle odor
by working it with some sort of es-
sence. But this is not the case. In
the first place the butter is made in
small pats like those in ordinary use.
Each pat is wrapped in bit of fine
muslin and placed on a bed of rose
leaves specially prepared in an earthep
jar. On top another layer of the fresh
and delicate rose leaves is placed, be;
fore the jar is filled with solid chunk
of ice. Then the jar is placed in re4
frigerator and allowed to remain there
for ten hours, when the pats are ready
for the customer.
This is all there is to it, but, simple
as the idea is, it has made for its dis
coverer fortune, and he is now per-
mitted to announce that he is "by
royal appointment" purveyor to Her
Majesty the Queen, and the royal
family. New York journal.
