TO ENIRAP A PERFUME.

Learn a lesson for the season from
the South of France. In the flower
season at Cannes plates of glass are
thinly covered with clarified inodorous
fat; upon or under this fat the flowers
are placed, and the power this sub
stance has to absorb and retain per-
fumes is astonishing. On these sheets
of glass the most delicate odors are
thus fixed almost as securely as on the
collodion- prepared plates the most deli
cate pictures are retained.
In this way the jessamine, the vio-
let, the tuberosc and orange perfumes
are obtained. They travel across
France and arrive here rs pure as the
day they were given forth from the
flowers themselves.
The emancipation OF the odor from
its imprisonment is very sil"pie. The
fat, cut into small cubes, is placed in
spirits of wine, and the delicate eSSclce
Immediately deserts the coarse fat for
the more spiritual solvent.
NJ. Piesse, in his interesting work on
perfumrry, says: eff there is a glue
pot in the house, and it happens to be
clean, fill it with clarified trt, set it near
the hothouse fire, or any other fire,
Just to make the fat liquid, and throw
in as many hclotropc flowers a~ possi-
blc; let them remain for ~ hours
strain otf the fat and add fresh ones:
repeat this process tor a week and the
fat will have become Il pomade la
heliotrope. The same process may be
gone through with all the other flowers
mentioned \ lady may in this man
ner make her own perfume, and one
that she cannot obtain for love or
money at the pertumer S. H.

ARE WOMEN LOVELY.

A German baron has taken it upon
himself a reply to book recently
published with the title of "The Dete-
rioration of Manly Beauty" This
work was written by woman, and the
baron replies with a savage onslaught
on prevailing ideals of female lowell
ness, says an exchange. He calls his
work "Defects of Womans Beauty;
an Anthropometrical And Aesthetic
Study"
This dignifed title hardly prepares
the reader for the strong, unvarnished
manner in which the baron treats his
subject. He agrees with Schopehauer
in his denunciation of those misguided
millions who find comeliness in the
undergrown, small lshouldered, big hip
pid and short legged SEX How much
more grateful to the clear eye of art
should be the noble proportions ofthe
properly developed man, argues the
baron.
BY numerous measureme is, which it
is not necessary to give here, he proves.
to his own satisfaction that geometri-
cally the female is failure and that
the male form is success. Women
themselves have shown since the days
of Eve in the garden, the baron says,
that fhey appreciate their inferiority
in this respect.
They have concealed their limbs in
flowing garments, reaching sometimes
to the knee, sometimes to the ankles,
sometimes to the feet, but always far
enough to hide the defects in their
proportions to large extent, he says,
but they always seek to alter them,
moving their waist up or down with
stays, squeezing in their natural fig
ures here and building them out there,
and not scorning hoopsklrts, bustles
and crinolines in order to makes them
selves look as little as possible like
nature made them.
The ballet girl would seem to con-
found part of the baron's argument,
but he does not yield to this apparent
defiance of his logic.
The baron seems to feel that, after
he has put forth his most forcible ar
guments and has exhausted his most
disseminating criticisms, he is still en-
listed in losing fight, for he adds
plaintively:
But most of the men of our times
have ceased to perceive the defects OF
female beauty. Woman has deceived
and misled her admirers so many gen.
erations with her smooth, long gowns
that only few, educated by research
and by constant practice in measuring
the proportions Of the female form
fully clothed, have gained that clear,
unbiased view which. enables them to
appreciate how skillfally women has
carried ont the delusions rs to her
figure

GOOD HEALTH

And good appetite go hand III hand.
With the los ofappetite, the system can
not long sustain itself. Thus the lortiti-
cations Of good health are broken down
and the system is liable to attacks Of
disease. 1t is in such eases that the
medicinal powers of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are clearly shown. Thousands
who have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla
testify to its great merits as a purifier
of the blood, its powers to restore and :
sharpen the appetite and promote
healthy action of the digestive organs.
Thus it is, net what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story and constitutes the strongest
recommendation that can be urged for
any medicine Why not take Hoods
Sarsaparilla now.

BY b. SYDNEY WOOLF.

The smoking room of the Exquisite

AS many men, and ''the cup that cheers"
on the wicker table.
1t was five O'Clock on a winter after
noon, and the ceaseless roar of London
rose but family to the thickly- curtain
ed room. Outside, people were going
about with azure-tipped noses, but in
side there was drowsy warmth and a
fragrance of good tobacco Three of
us-Carter, Summers, and myself
had been grumbling at the slings and
arrows of this world in general, and
our hardup condition in particular.
There is certain fascination in being
bitter, cynical. and all the rest of it
when you are particularly comfortable;
it is like piquant sauce to cloying
dish.
The fourth man had not spoken for
some time: be was general favorite,
Captain Reginald Ruthven-to give
him his full title,-t:,miliarly known as
''Ruth." Popular all round was Ruth:
in the mess-room Of -th, on parade, at
the club, in county house drawing
room, or at dance, and SO languid and
nonchalant with it all. While we aired
our little grievances, he lay back in
his chair, thoughtfully pulling his cigar,
his eyes halfclosed, while slight smile
played round his mouth.
"It's all very well you fellows srumb-
ling about being hard up,' he said at
last, knocking the ash Off his cigar,
'but you may never have lost the
