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

How This Delicious and Expensive Per-
fume Is Made.
The word "attar" is from the Arab
str, =" and means perfume. So aCtar 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, 900 we'll grown roses to
yield but 180 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 watch glass with a 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 rosefields, 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 comes oyer' is put
into perfectly clean vessels and il 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 illm Of
oil has collected on the top of the water,
just as cream rises Oh milk. This finn
is swept off with a feather and very
carefully transferred to a small vial.
Night after night this process is repeated
until all of the precious oil is separated
from the water. -Philadelphi Times.

HAMMERED WITH TURKEY.

On the principle that it is we'll to drink
heartily before eating heartily, John Ron
ney, an Irishman, and Tony Sauer,
German, set out early from their Harlem
homes to make memorable Thanks
giving. Their aim was Washington
Market, but, finding that closed, they
went to a special sale of turkeys nearby
and purchased one specimen apiece off
the great American bird, besides several
squads. Having thus provided the food,
they looked after the drink with the dis
tinguished success. By the time they
got to Broadway the wrappings were of
the turkeys, and the package of squads
having become undone, those delicacies
were distributed into the pockets of their
purchasers. Rodney and Sauer were a
picturesque pair when at half-past 10 they
boarded the Third avenue cable car of
which Patrick Halon was the conductor.
Rodney took seat near the corner and
set his turkey down besides him, leaning
it up against the back of the seat Then
producing several squads, he set them
neatly in a row on their defeathered tails,
with their wings sticking stiffly out in a
sort of present arms-posture.
"Set there by your mother" said he
to the squads, as he jammed the last one
into position, land be good. It's fine
show you make. A regular happy
family"

niue that way"
Before he had got them arranged to
suit himself the conductor came in to pro-
test.
''That's all right" said Sauer ''I'll
pay fare for EN- Full fare for the old
turkeys and half fale for the squads"
"That wou't do, said Hanlon; ''you're
spelling the seats putting those greasy
birds on them"
"Won't do, hey ?" said Sauer in mill
tant tones, pulling out handful of change
and holding it out. There's your fare
Let's see you put 'em off,"
"Hanlon rang the bell to stop the car
'Get off, both of you," he said, "and take
those things with you"
Pat your hand on me-" threatened
Sauer, ''and I'll make mince pie of you
Without brandy" he added, viciously
Not observing that Rodney had graspeC
his turkey by the legs and was swinging
it, the conductor reached for Sauer. TIL,
turkey landed on the side of conductor
head, knocking him over upon the seat
AS soon as he got to his feet Sauer'
turkey banged him, and over he wen
again. -

In fifteen years of the present local op-
tionllaw, in Massachusetts, closing with
1896, comparison by periods of five
years shows that the majority in the
cities for license has decreased from 81
81 to $3.50; the majority in the towns
for no-license has increased from 9,751 to
to 1886, and the majority of II $40 for
license in the state has been changed to a
majority against license of 1858. Only
one town showed, in the fifteen years, a
unanimous vote for license, while in 260
town elections tn re was unanimous vote
against license. In 18 cases there has
been'a tie vote. In 151 cases the vote
has shown that more than half the regis
tered voters cast their ballots, in 40 of
them for license, in 1O2 against license.
The new constitution of Delaware,
adopted this year, contains local option
provision, and the last legislature restrict
ed the sale of cider, and prohibited
throughout the state the sale of intoxi-
cants from wagons.
Another token of the improvement in
public sentiment is the no-license vote in
cities having from twenty to sixty thous-
and Inhabitants. This would have been
impossible before the Crusade.

It took three hours to kill vicious
elephant in the vicinity of Liverpool,
and in assisting to bring about this re-
suit medical gentleman almost sue
ceeded in comprising his own destruc
tion. Charles II was the name of the
elephant. Two Liverpool physicians
were appointed executioners. They fed
the beast on aconite concealed in carrots
and arsenic sprinkled on buns, which it
swallowed pleasantly and asked for
more. Then one medical gentleman con-
oeived the idea of loading a syringe
with prussic acid, inducing the ele-
phapt to open it's mouth and squirting
the poison down its throat, Charles III
considered this great sport, but the doc
tor who was operating the syringe, by
reason of his interest in the experiment,
momentarily forgot the 'Gcadly proper
ties of prussia acid, inhaled the fumes
and fell unconscious. Tic other physi-
clan saved his colleagues life with
great difficulty, the elephant looking on
with deep sympathy. ECwever, after
Charles ii had taken enough poison to
kill 2, 000 men, according TO the doctors,
and three hours had passed since the first
dose he suddenly toppled over and ex-
pired quietly. Like the other Charles
II, he had been an unconscionable time
dying. San Francisco Argonaut.
