not much salt, till all the petals are

take the petals and put layer in the

sprinkle a very little Glove, allspice,
cinnamon or nutmeg. Go on till these
layers fill the jar, then pour this mix

take 1 teaspoon of compound tincture

Be careful not to use too much of the

Notes from the Paris Exposition.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com

show their usual American enterprise
by having very creditable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Glass rs, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
Is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ty pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
g-Machines for superior excellence
In design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action Of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any Of
Dur readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any Of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found In all cities and most
towns in the United States"

riage as a sacrament, not a civil con-
tract, and his apparent heartlessness
hurt her. She was still more shocked
by his attitude toward herself. His
heart was true to Poll" she thought,
and her lip curled unconsciously. Her
reverie was interrupted by DR.. Bur-
tons voice.
"A surgeons life has little room for
romance. Nevertheless, l have never
forgotten the dream of my youth"
Mary had given the signal and the
women were rising. Miss Lorimer rose
hastily, dropping her handkerchief as
she did so.- The doctor picked it up,
and as he restored it bent low over

excellent match? She thought of
the other man. honest and true, who,
IL he wanted the earth, desired 1t only
that he might give it to her; thought
of him with an exultant warmth at
