CLEAN PARIS KITCHENS.
No Ashes or Garbage There, Says Lecturer
Clarence Cook.

No Ashes or Garbage There, Says Lecturer
Clarence Cook.
What becomes of the ashes and gar
bage in Paris was a question raised and
partially answered by Clarence Cook in
an address delivered at the regular meet
ing of the League For Political Educa-
tion ON Little Housekeeping In Paris. "
The Paris which Mr.. Cook talked
about was that of some 20 years ago,
when the differences in domestic life in
that city and this were much greater
than at present. Since then New York
has adopted the fiat system in all its de-
tails, but there were still differences,
chief among which was the handling Of
garbage and ashes. In the apartments
which Mr.. Cook occupied in Paris, and
which he described as being delightful
" situated, though "on the wrong side
of the Seine" according to the ideas Of
q fashionable friend of his in the Amer
lean colony, there were no ashes that he
could see. The stove consisted of an iron
top, with six circular holes in it. When
ever anything was to be cooked an iron
basket of charcoal was put into one Of
these holes, and the food placed over it.
When the charcoal was burned, what
was left fell through the basket and dis
appeared.
In the way of food everything came
to the apartment fully prepared for
cooking. In mutton chop there was
nothing but meat and bone, and when
the meat had been eaten the bone was
deposited on the charcoal fire. Potatoes
were bought already peeled, carrots
without their green tops and all green
vegetables without any Of the superflu-
ous outer leaves or husl1s or skins which
would 60 to make up garbage. All of
this cleaning and peeling was done at
the markets, and the resulting material
was saved in clean condition. Even
coffee grounds. Mr.. Cook said. were
used after leaving the fiat.
No one in Paris ever bought enough
Of anything to be left over, and no one
was ashamed to ask the dealer for a sin
gle mutton chop Or small portion o.
any article of food. If there were any
garbage or ashes in Paris, Mr.. Cool
said, no one ever saw either of them
which was certainly different from thu
experience of New York woman h
told of, who after years residence il
the city wrote to friend that life in tn,
metropolis meant the taking care of al
ash barrel. New York Times.

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

fumc 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 vials and is very costly.
Even ON the spot where it is manufac-
tured it is extremely dear, because il
requires 100000 we'll grown roses to
yield but 1870 grains of altar
It's 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 a watch glass with n 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 ii
will become darkened.
In rosefelds, 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 petal:
distilled in clay stills, with twice theil
weight Of water.
The water that 'comes over'' is pu
into perfectly clean vessels and is ther
carefully covered with damp muslin
cloths to keep out dust and insects. i
is afterward exposed to the night air o.
to artificial cold. By morning a film O
oil has collected ON the top of the water
just as cream rises ON milk. This fin
is swept off with a feather and yer,
carefully transferred to a small vial
Night after night this process is repeatel
until all of the precious oil is separated
from the water. ter.-Philadelphia Times.

Mary Seymour Howell.

Mrs Mary Seymour Howell, who is
far from we'll, made an eloquent speech
at the recent county convention of suf-
frage clubs held at Dansville, N. Y.
The Dansville Advertiser says: Mrs
Howell's address could not have been
more earnest, more eloquent, more PEN
etrating and convincing had it been her
farewell talk ON earth, and it seemed to
have something of that impressive quail
ity. Her hearers can never forget it, no1
cease to be influenced by it, for her
whole strength, body and soul, seemed
to plead for justice to women"
