Otto or Altar Of Roses.

Roses being so common, it may be
imagined how small the yield of oil
must be to account for quoted price OF
SO shillings an ounce, or about e28 per
pound, and this to the chemist himself.
What it resolves itself into as a retail
p4ce is hardly worth going into, as a
retail demand-beyond an occasional
drop at sixpence upon a handkerchief,
upor. special OCCASIONS unknown,
its chief use being in scenting powders
and The making up Of fancy compound
scents. Ten thousand pounds, or nearly
five tons, Of roses it takes to obtain a
pound Of the oil. These are distilled
with twice their bulk Of water, and the
altar skimmed-very carefully skinned

receiving vessel. The adulterator has

avails himself of, in distilling a proper
tion of geranium flowers, the oil Of which
has somewhat similar rosy smell,
with the roses, this paying, in that it
takes but the comparatively humble
number Of 500 geranium flowers to
yield pound Of their oil.

Men and ;uorse. Knled In Battle.

Men and HOr6e6 Killed In Battle.
In regular battles the proportion Of
loss among men and horses is quite
close, and in hand to hand combats OF
cavalry, as well as in sharp artillery
engagements, for every man killed or
wounded there7is also dumb warrior
entitled to place beside him on the
roll Of honor. The Light brigade at
Balaklava rode in 660 (not 600) strong
and lost 288 men, but Of the 660 horses
$50 were shot down by the Russian
guns.
I'm the fierce charges Of the German
uhlans and cuirassiers at Vionville,
Marsha Tour, in 1870, 1,400 men and
1000 horses were killed and wounded.
In the fierce artillery contest on the
same field T30 men and over 1000
horses fell around the guns. At Grave
lotte, soon after Mars Tour, the artil-
lery fighting was also terrible, and
1900 horses were shot down around the
batteries, though the loss Of the artiller-
