PERFUMERY SECRETS.
Scent of Flowers Caught in Fat and
Transferred to Alcohol,


The details Of the perfumery business
are described in the Birmingham Daily
Post. The fluid substance of which a
bottle of first-class scent consists is not
water, but highly rectifed spirits of
wine, lmpregnated 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 flow
ers by means of fat, for which they have
q very strong affinity, whereas spirits is
simply solvent Some flowers are mac
Grated in fat, while others are simply
brought into close juxtaposition to
grease-coyered 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
the manufacturer, unless this work is
done for him by an intermediary, is to
derive from the pOmades what is called
simple extract" In Birmingham the
pomade, worth from 5 shillings 8 pence
to shillings a pound, is first opened out
into hlaments by a squeeZer, and is
then placed In a churn containing some
twenty gallons of spirits. The beaters Of
the churn are kept rotating by ma
chlnery for about week, at the end of
which time the spirits is drawn off and is
flowers in an intense degree. The spirit
Is afterward frozen to facilitate the re-
moval of a certain residue OF fat, and
after this it forms a perfectly clear and
llmpld simple extract" and is placed
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 market bear
ing the names of most Of the Odoriferous
flowers known. Few only of these are
direct extracts from the flowers by which
they are called. The vast majority are
limitations 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
forced by Odors more permanent and de-
rived from other sources. Of late years
synthetic fragrant oils have been OBJ
tanned from that Protean substance coal

The old-fashioned CESS Bouquet is
composed of eight ingredients in their
appropriate proportions, the predominant
elements being musk and vanilla Jock

Of supply, musk, civet and orris being
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

improvements have been made in the

TORTURE FOR A NEGRO.
Samuel Hose, Accused Of Murder,
is Burned at the Stake at
Newman

Newman, Ga. April 24-Samuel Hose.
the negro who murdered Alfred Gran
ford, and, it is claimed, attacked Gran
ford's wife, near Palmetto little over a
week ago, was burned to death on Sun
day at , clock amid horrible torture, in
an open field two miles from Newman.
Hose was captured at his mothers home
last night at Marshallville, Ga and his
captors, two farmers, were on their way
to Atlanta with him. When they reached
Griffith a mob took their prisoner FROM
them and started for Palmetto.
Before being burned the negrO's ears
and fingers were cut off and distributed
among the crowd. His body was then
saturated with Kerosene and the torch
applied. The crowd surrounded the stalk,
on all sides. but none of those nearer
than 100 feet of the center was able to
see what was going on. Yell after yell
went up. and those in the rear were told
of the progress of the flames by shouts
from the eye witnesses. The torch was
applied about 2:3O, and at 3 O'Clock the
body of Sam Hose was limp and iifeless.
The body was not cut down. Ii was cut
TO pieces. The crowd fought for places
about the smOldering tree, and with
knives secured such pieces of his carcass
as did not fall 10 pieces. The chain with
which the body was bound to the tree
was severed by hammers, the tree was
chopped down, and such pieces of the
trewood as had not been burned were
carried away as souvenirs.
The feeling against Strickland, the
negro preacher whom Hose accused CT
having given him SD to kill Crawford, is
very strong. and it is feared he will be
lynched before morning.
Hose murdered Alfred Crawford a
farmer, and outraged his wife.
