Violet Perfume.

1t would appear as if the cultivation
Of the violet for it's perfume alone will
shortly be numbered with the things
OF the past Violet perfume is now pro-
duced by chemical means, and the re-
suit quite supersedes and surpasses,
it is said, in quality and persistency,
the flower ITSELF This latest discov-
cry in chemistry has been made by two
Germans in Leipzig, and the import
ance Of it may be measured by the fact
that many thousands of pounds have
been offered. for the patent. Already
this substance has been sold at a con-
siderable reduction upon the cost of
the perfume made from real violets,
and so intense is the odor in it's con-
centration that the manufacturers sell
only 10 per cent solutions of it. This
10 per cent solution has to be again di-
luted hundredfold before it is fit for
sale to the public. The perfume of vio-
let's is not, we are told, the only in
stance in which chemical science as
applied to perfumery has triumphed,
and though some of the other chem
ically made perfumes are not so re-
markable in their similitude to those
actually extracted from flowers, they
are Of sufficient Importance to greatly
limit the Use Of flowers they initiate.

The Causes of Corns and Bunlons.

Inc ieel are surely plant members
when they can endure the variformed
shoes that from time to time compel
them into new habits with each new
pair put on; yet they rarely rebel or
give real trouble unless barbarously
neglected. Corns and bunions are
more often the result of wearing old
shoes than in the wrong selection CT
new ones. A constant change of foot
gear inures the foot to variety, and
even those who confine themselves
wholly to the ready-made article meet.
suffer no i'll effects if they will keep
their shoe supply as carefully replen-
ished as is the rest of the wardrobe.
1t is one of the most fallacious of
practices to attempt to economic by
wearing old shoes about the house, I'M
less they possess all their buttons,
have straight heels and soles, and are
daily brushed and aired, as are their
newer fellows. Only in this way may
the ankles be continually braced into
straightness and the toes allowed to
move gently in an almost straight di-
rection. When the foot is thrown out
of balance by worn-down heels, the
toes, attempting to retain level po-
sition, perform prehensile feats, which
resemble the action of the forebears
some scientists have ascribed to us.
Moreover, the combined heat and
moisture of the normal foot hardens
the leather of the continuously worn
shoe into permanent creases, which in
turn render the foot extremely sensi-
tive, and struggling against it's hard
environment enlarges the joints and
causes local distress.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

WoMEN's ALLOWANCES.

Married Men.

4 aach Needed Little Lecture to thsa
Married Men.
Perhaps men think l am exaggerat.
Ing the evil. Perhaps they don't know
that the only advice married womeL
give to engaged girls, which never
varies. is: "Be sure you ask for an al
lowance from the first, because II you
don't you may never get it." sup
pose the majority Of men don't know
that their wives hate to ask them for
money, says the Woman's Home Com
pan lon. OF course, 1t doesn't seem so
terrible to those Of US whose fathers
occasionally want to keep back enough
money to buy coal, when our daughter
~ demands are refused. But we never
imagine that girls over-husband-
this courteous stranger whom she has
loved and marriedSshould ever forget
his theater and American beauty days
sufficiently to say: What did you do
with that dollar gave you yesterday"
Now. frankly speaking. it never occurs
to unmarried girls that their honey
moon can ever wear of. We look up
on husbands as only married sweet
hearts. We sort of half way believe
them-at least we used to before we
saw other girls husbands-when they
tell US that they long for the time
when they can pay our bills and buy
our clothes for us. We never thought,
until we were told, that any little
generous arrangement which we ex-
pected to last must be fixed during the
first weeks of marriage. I dare say
most of us had planned to say, in an
swer to the money question: "Just as
you like, dear. I'd rather have you
manage such matters for me. You
know SO much more about them than
l do 1t is a horrible shock, from a
sentimental point of view. to be told
to say: "I'll take an allowance, please"
anil then if two amounts are mentioned
to grab for the biggest. Oh, it's a
shame. It is shame to be told that
we'll be sorry if we don't and to know
that we shall have an opportunity to
show how unselfish and trusting we
| are. 1t is all your fault, you men,

more. You might stop a moment to
consider that it is rather delicate
matter for woman to ask money of
man. If your wife is like most
wives she is doing as much to help you
make your money as you are. She is
keeping you we'll and happy and your
home beautiful. You couldn't keep
your mind on business an hour if she
didn't. Therefore she deserves every
dollar which, after discussing your fu-
ture life together, you feel that you
can afford to give her. She ought to
be made to feel that she has earned it
and that she may spend it freely and
happily or invest it just as she may
choose. Do you think that you
wouldn't get the whole OF it back if
you were i'll and needed it? It is an
ungracious thing to call her to account
