There Is fashion in perfumery as in
everything else; 1t is said that violet Is
the only scent which holds it own year
in and year out, and to-day is the most
popular perfume on the market. Mil
lions Of dollars are expended every year
on perfumes; violet-fannel for lining
for bureau drawers, is sold for $18 q
yard. Flowers growing i'm warm lati-
tude are most prolific in their Odor, thus
we see why France and the southern
part Of Europe Is the garden spot Of the
world for the manufacture OF perfumery.
Much could be written of the process
Of preparing the innumerable extracts OF
essences, waters, oils, pomades, etc. Beef
suet Is used for drawing the Odor out OF
the flowers. Many women will not change
when fashion dictates, but use the same
perfumery always, making it part Of
themselves, that their friends may know
them as much by the delicate odors that
surround them as by their voices,

It is proposed that the States of the
great American corn belt, and this in
cludes Kansas, Of course, build corn
palace at the Paris exposition, says

with large ears of corn at each corner.
and an enormous ear in the husk to
serve as tower to the building. In

Perhaps our young friends did not read
all OF Governor Stanleys message to the
legislature, but you will surely be inter-
ested in that part of it relating to the
dependent children of the State even
II we are all comfortably housed, with
kind papas and mammas to take care of
us, we would be- oh, so much happier If
we knew that every other little one was
as happily situated. The following is
from Governor Stanleys message:
"In many communities in this State
there are children dependent upon the
public who are so neglected and ILL
treated as to endanger both their health
and morals, and from these classes are
largely recruited our paupers and our
criminals.
ITO protect such children from neglect
and vice Is to protect the State from the
danger with which they would in few
years threaten it.
"It is much easier to prevent criminal
than to reform one; easier to preserve a
pure fountain than to cleanse q polluted
stream.
Wisdom would suggest that the in
crease OF the criminal classes should be
prevented, and no surer way can be sug-
gested than by removing our neglected
children from the surroundings which
would almost surely lead them into vice.
"To provide schools for their educa-
tion, bring them under healthful moral
and physical restraint and find for them
good homes where they would be reared
In safety would be an economic measure,
and even on the low plane of selfshness
