Scent OF Flowsrs Caught Ia Fat aaA

Transferred to Alcohol. -.
The details Of the psrfumery business
are described in the Birmingham Daily
Post. The fluid substance Of which !
bottiesot frst.class scent consists Ia not
water, but highly rectifed spirits Of
wine, .impregnated with the desired odor;
but the infusion Of fragrant flowers In
spirits of wine would fail to produce the
desired result. An intermediate process
is requisite, and that consists in en-
claiming the subtle perfume Of the how-
ers by means Of fat, for which they have
a very strong affinity, whereas spirits is
simply q solvent. Some flowers are mac
Grated IN fat. while others ARE simply
brought into close Slxtaposition to
grease-covered screens, with the result
that the fat becomes heavily charged
with perfume. and will yield It afterward
to the spirits of wine. The first task Of
done for him by an intermediary, is to
derive from the pomades what is called y
simple extract" In Birmingham the
pomade, worth from s shillings 6 pence
to shillings a pound, is first opened out
INTO hiaments by squeexer, and ID
then placed In a churn containing some
twenty gallons Of spirits. The heaters Of
the churn are kept rotating. BY ma.
ehinery for about a week: at the end of
which time the spirits is drawn off and Is
found to have taken up the odor Of the
howers IN an intense degree. The spirit
is afterward frozen to facilitate the re-
moval Of a certain residue OF tat. and
mpd THIS 1T forms fe; ". :ed
upon the laboratory shelf.
1t is in the laboratory that the mate
rails are diluted and blended into articles
FOR the toilet. 1t is here where the re-
ceipt book, and still more a cultivated
appreciation of odor, comes into play.
Scents are placed upon the mar ket bear
flowers Known. Few only Of these are
direct extracts from the flowers by which
they are called. The vast majority are
lmlsatlons-perfu pictures, in fact
of the originals. Violet scent is not
wholly derived from the violet; but the
floral extract has to be helped and rein
rived from other sources. OF late years
synthetic fragrant oils have been OBJ
tanned from that Protean substance, coal
tar.

appropriate proportions, the predominant

prominent. "Opopanax" has twelve in.
gradients, while parma Violet" scent
has fourteen. Upon the other hand, there
are some simpler blends. Among them
is the once fashionable but now vulgar
patchouly, which consists of a dilutfon
of patchouly oil and altar of roses. Many
improvements have been made in the
formulas originally in use, and the odors
OF not few delicately-scented flowers
are now transferred to the toilet table,

MI q nure for Early Potafncs.

1t is hardly possible to make land too
rich where the early crop of potatoes is
to be planted. The rich soil insures early
growth Of the plants, and that they will
come up with the thick, vigorous stalks
which is the unfailing sign of good
crop. Too much manure will cause rot
in potatoes late in the season, but with
early potatoes the crop is generally har>
vested before it has time to either ma
ture or rot. Generally the early potato
crop may be got off in time to plant cab
bage for a late crop, and there will be
richer soil for the cabbage roots than
there was while the potatoes We're grow

NeWSDaDer Troubles,

Journalism i'll rural Kansas certainly
has it's drawbacks. Here is the way in
which the editor Of the Alton Empire
airs his woes in the columns of that
bright esteemed contemporary: Our
wife was taken i'll "Wednesday evening
two weeks ago, which required our con-
tinual presence at home. On Thursday
last our sister arrived from Atchison to
help care for Mrs. Ford and the children.
and on Sunday was unfortunate enough
to fall down cellar and break her arm.
So with sitting up night and day wait
ing OH sick wife and crippled sister
and caring for couple of children with
temper enough to stand up for their
rights under any circumstances we've
had what you might cali an extra edition
of trouble" Under the circumstances
an extra run of boiler plate miscellany
might have been pardoncd in the next
issue of the Empire.
