Domestic Periumery Farms.

Perfumery farms are new indus.
try, and are going to be popular and
profitable. There is no reason why
we should not raise our own perfum-
cry aud essential oils in this coun.
try where flowers grow in such great
profusion and carry so high degree
Of juices. In the south of France,
where most OF the worlds perfumes
arc made, the climate is not 30 favora.
BILE as here; land is a hundred times
more valuable; fertilizers Of the most
expensive kind have to be used, AMI
the strength of the flowers is obtained
only by the most asslduous cultivA'
tion, while here the most available
flowers for the purpose grow wild, and
with the slightest cultivation can be
brought to q very high degree Of per.
fectien. The perfume Is go pungent
that delicate people cannot sleep, and
many cannot even sit in room with
a bunch of ordinary blossoms. A lump
of wax placed in chest or box, or
even q cupboard with lilies, orange
blossoms or other varieties Of flowers
will absorb their perfume through and
through in q single night and hold it
indefinitely.
Labor is cheap, but there seems to
be plenty to do il one may Judge by
the advertisements for help wanted
that appear daily in the newspapers.

A NOvelist's Story.

Mr.. Frankfort Moore was for many
years one of the leading journalists Of
Belfast, before he took the English
literary world by storm with his sue.
cession of brilliant books-so brill.
iantly paradoxical in subject and
phrase-sI Forbid the Banns," "a
Gray Eye or &c." and ''One Fair
Daughter" His Journalists Note
Book" is full of good stories of his
experiences; but the other night he
told me one which has never yet seen
daylight on paper.
4 slim, fair-haired young man, al
most boy, called on him and sent in
his card as Mr.. Archibald Clavering
Gunter. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore hap
pened to be familiar with the huge,
kurly. Max O'Rellish appearance Of
the author of "Mr. Barnes of New
York." but they welcomed the visitor
none the less, though Mrs. Moore was
at pains not to leave them alone, for
she intuitively grasped what the
pseudo Gunter wanted. So things
went on till it was time for Mr.. Moore
to go to his Office. The stranger fol.
lowed him there. OF course, he
wanted money, and when Mr.. Moore
suggested that the American Consul
would be glad to assist 80 distin-
guished fellow-countryman, he ex-
planned that he and that functionarY
had taken opposite sides in the Civil
War, SO he was afraid he would have
to ask Mr.. Moore to lend it to him.
"1'd be delighted to do so, my dear
fellow" said Mr.. Moore, with his
ready Irish wit, as the office boy ap'
peared in answer to his ring to show
the visitor out, "butthe fact is, you
haven't told me who you are" BE
pointed to print of the real Archi'
bald, but the stranger had fed.-Lon-

Nested In q Stirrup.

When the first warm breezes
brought up from the South the prom.
ise of returning summer two sparrows
that had spent the winter among the
leahess trees of Lincoln Park began to
look about for a place in which to
build home, says the Chicago Tri.
bune. Finally, after much flying
about the park and many twittering
consultations, they selected the Grant
monument. And here, secure from
molestation, they set about building
their nest in the left stirrup of the
great bronze figure. Many long and
fruitless quests were made for ma.
terial, but finally after long days of
labor the task was done. Here they
remained unobserved for days while
the mother bird nestled on the tiny
eggs and the father bird few about in
quest of food till the sharp eye of the
Generals widow discovered them last
Saturday. Though they are now the
most famous .sparrows IN the city, re-
nown has not changed their lives. The
mother still warns the five little eggs
against her downy breast and the
father goes marketing the iyelong
day. Silent and motionless, horse and
rider stand looking ever seaward,
never needing the life and happiness
so near. Before many days there will
be five little mouths to feed and. both
parents will be busy all day long
bringing dainties for their young.

Reau Brummel;s Practical Joke.

Beau Brummel once met at pub.
lie dinner a pompous old French
Marquis, aud managed to put some
finely powdered sugar into his hair
powder. The weather was exceeding
" hot, and the flies, of course, numer-
GUS. The Marquis relinquished his
knife and fork to drive off the enemy
with his handkerchief, but back the
whole swarm came, more teasing than
ever. Not wing was missing. Those
of the company who were not in the
secret could not help wondering at
the phenomenon, as the buzzing grew
louder and louder every moment.
Matters grew still worse, when the
sugar, melting, poured down the
Frenchman's brow and face in thick
streams, for his tormentors then
changed their ground of action, and
having thus found more vulnerable
part, nearly drove him mad with their
stings. Uuable to bear it any longer,
he clasped his head with both hands,
and rushed out of the room in cloud
of powder, followed by his persever.
ing tormentors and the laughter OF
the coupany.-New York Herald.

Philadelphia's Ancient Lookup.

An old English dungeon has boen
brought to light by the tearing down
of building in the rear OF pickle
factory on Spruce street, below Sec
ond. The building is thought to hav
been more than 800 years old. Every
brick in it was brought from Eng
land, and the building was once the
pride of the little colony that lived
here. 1t was originally, it il said, the
Court House Of the settlement, and
underneath the ground were those
dungeons, or cells, in which prisoners
wero kept. 1t is supposed that the
cells were used as temporary places
of confinement, and not for prisoners
serving long terms, much the same as
the "lock-ups" or station houses Of
to-day. The bricks are as solid as in
the days of old, and will be used again
in another building. The old house
has been burned out several times,
but the walls were never damaged
much. The whole neighborhood is an
interesting one. The building adj
Joining the one torn down has fourth

of the usual windows, it has port

Curious Feats of Swallowing.

1t seems incredible when the state
ment is made that snake nine feet
long swallowed its companion eight
feet long. It appears from all accounts
that food WAS placed in the cage and
one of the boas, in attempting to secure
q piece of it, tried sort OF tug-of'
war game with his fellow, with the re-
suit that he swallowed not only the
coveted morsel but took the other
snake in as we'll. This incident, which
occurred at the Geological Gardens in
London, is only one of numbers Of
equally remarkable. Some years ago
a number of men were spearine pike
in Western lake. The spear entered
the head of the enormous fish, which
was landed in the boat. One OF the
fishermen observed that the sides Of
the pike appeared strangely agitated,
although the fish itself was unmis-
takably dead. Upon opening the
pike, fish two-thirds its size was
found in it's interior. One OF the most
notable things of this sort was that OF
the encounter between the dog-fsh
and the octopus in the Brighton
Aquarium. The two were close neigh
bors, and one night the octopus scram-
bled to the top of the glass partition,
presumably on the lookout for some
thing to eat. The dog-fsh Immediately
seized upon and swallowed his for.
midable visitor. Considering that the
octopus was of large size and was
known as a very bad customer to
handle, the performance of the dog.
fish was looked upon as something
quite out of the common.-New York
Ledger.

Medical Uses of Sugar.

There is a very strong opinion
growing up among medical men that
sugar has remedial value that has
hitherto been wholly unappreciated.
As q tonic and invigorator its value
has been, in experimental cases, ex.
tremely satisfactory. A case in point
is related where q person from force
of circumstances had tasted for nearly
twelve hours. This patient was sub.
ject to the most violent headaches
from hunger or lack of food. After a
certain period, peculiar pressure or
congested feeling was noticed In the
head, invariably followed by acute
pain, sometimes by severe nausea.
These enforced fasts, occurring ct
frequent intervals, became the SUBJ
ject of some concern. One day the
individual in question tried the e1-
pertinent of taking sugar and water,
this being the only available article
of food at the time. Several blocks OF
cut sugar were dipped into water and
eaten very slowly, with frequent
clippings 80 that the sugar was almost
entirely dissolved. When the opera
tion began, the pressure in the head
was already very marked, and the
headache was coming on. Strange to
say, the unpleasant symptoms almost
Immediately left, there was no return
of them, and the stomach was in no
wise disturbed. Repeated trials had
the same effect, and it seemed to be a
foregone conclusion that with this
patient at least the sugar application
was a success. Further experiments
are being made, with view to de-
monstrate the value of cut sugar as a
luncheon where other food is not to
be had. 1t would be simple and
easy matter to carry half dozen
pieces of sugar in ones pocket, to be
indulged in with no other accompani-
ment but a glass of water, by this
means preventing Or probably post
poning those frightful attacks OF
cerebal congestion and agony that
many persons are subject to.-New
York Ledger.

city, has been in successful operation
since 1866. The compressed air is
furnished by steam power from seven
stations in the city. The tubes are
of wrought iron and run through the
sewers as much as possible. From
thirty to thirty-five letters or mes
sages are carried in each box. The
boxes are of iron with leather collars
to make them fit the tubes. They are
often sent in trains of ten together.
In case of accident to box or train
it's position in the tube can be located
within thirty metres by special appsr'
atus.

Meal of SuudONer Cake.

Sunhower cake has been found, es-
pecially in Russia, one OF the best
auxiliary cattle foods. As early as
the year 1866 about 100000 centners
of sunAower oil (oil OF the seeds of
Helianthus annuus) were manufactured
in Russia, and its amount has IN
creased year by year, 1t being es-
teemed os O very palatable alimentary
oil. The oil was formerly obtained
by hydraulic means; the residual cake
is harder than any other variety of oil
cake, and for this reason apparently
it has not found wider application.
Denmark and the northern countries
import large quantities annually. as
do also the eastern provinces of Ger
many, and the problem OF its disinte-
grafton has been successfully solved
by several manufacturers there. 1t is
still unknown in Southern and West
ern Germany; now, however, that it
ia put on the market in the form OF
meal it will doubtless soon find gen.
eral application, suited, as it is, both
on account of it's composition and
pleasant taste, for fattenlng cattle.
The percentage of proteid varies be-
tween about thirty to forty-four per
cent, the fat between about nine to
eighteen per cent. 1t is possible to
prepare two qualities, one rich IN por'
teid and poor in fat, and the other
rich in fat and poor in ported. When,
for example, the somewhat finely
ground meal is sifted, employing IL
mesh Of ! NM, that which passed
through is much richer in proteid AMI
poorer in fat than the original, while
the reverse is true Of that which re-
mains in the sieve Scientific Amerl.
