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

Clarence Cook.
What becomes Of the ashes and gar
bago in Paris was u question raised and
partially answered by Clarence Cook in
an address delivered at the regular meet
ing Of the League For Political Educa-
ton on Little Housekeeping In Paris. I"
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 tho wrong side
Of the Seine," according to the ideas of
fashionable friend of his i'll the Amer
lean colony, there were no ashes that he
could SEQ. Tho stove consisted Of an iron
top, with six circular holes i'll it, When
ever anything was to DO 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 tho way of food everything came
to tho apartment fully prepared for
cooking. In mutton chop there was
nothing but meat and bone and When
the meat had been eaten tho bone was
deposited on tho charcoal fire. Potatoes
were bought already peeled, carrots
without their green tops and all green
vegetables without any of the supcrflu-
Gus outer leaves or husks or skins which
would go to mako up garbage. All of
this cleaning and pecling was done Mt
the markets, and the resulting material
was saved in n clean condition. Even
coffee grounds. Mr.. Cook said, wcro
used after leaving tho fiat.
No one i'll Paris ever bought enough
of anything to be left over, and no one
was ashamed to ask the dealer for sin
gle mutton chop or small portion of
any article Of food If there were any
garbage or ashes in Paris, Mr.. Cook
said, no one ever saw either of them.
which was certainly different from the
experience of New York woman he
told of, who after years residence in
the city wrote to friend that life in the
metropolis meant the taking care of all

ALTAR OF ROSES.

How This Delicious and Expensive Per
fume Is Made.
The word "attar'' is from tho Arab
'ltr, " and means perfume. So altar Of
roses is simply perfume of roses 1t is
brought from Turkey and the East Ill
dies i'll small Walls and is very costly.
Even on the spot where it is manufac-
tured it is extremely dear. because it
requires 1000 we'll grown roses to
yield but $50 grains of altar.
Its high price causes it to DO often
adultcrated with some essential or fixed
oil or with spermaceti. However, tho
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 adultcratcd it
will become darkened.
In rOscfields, where tho 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 i'll clay stills, with twice their
weight Of water.
The water that "comes 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
4 to artificial cold. By morning film of
oil has collected on the top of the water
just rs cream rises OH milk This film
is swept off with feather and very
carefully transferred to q small vial
Night after night this process is repeated
until all of the precious oil is separated
from the water. -Philadelphia Times

BY the way" said Eli Perkins in a

accompanied by boy who was reading

me the digest Of all the news and all

But Depew is lawyer, isn't hep

Well, y-e-s-Depew is a lawyer.
Then, he continued slowly and thought
fully, But all the law Depew knows
wouldn't bias him in answering any
question:

club, a week afterward, Depew happen

rest, but just before he left he leaned
forward, with his hand over his mouth,
and whispered to me:
