THE MAKING OF PERFUME
MANY Factories in America De-
voted to the Business.
Dlsagrecablc Things Aid In Securing
Pleasant OdOrs-France Has No
Longer Monopoly Of the Trade
Important Essential Oils Among
the More Prominent ingredients.

Right here in Cincinnati there are two
establishments for making perfume, each
doing a lucrative business. Scattered
throughout the United States there are
many large factories devoted to the bust
ness, and the perfumes made in this coun-
try now rank with any made abroad, not
excepting France, which at one time en-
joyed almost a monopoly. Such strides
the business has taken on this side that
even in France American perfumes and
toilet waters are regarded with marked
favor. Today, both in quality OF the
goods and the extent of their manufac-
ture, this country stands back for none
other on the globe.
One Of the most surprising features
connected with the art OF making per
fumes is the fact that some of the i'll
gradients entering into the makeup OF
the most popular perfumes are both dis
gusting in appearance and disagreeable
in smell to the average person. One of
these is civet, which is used to strengthen
the compound and give TO it fiowery
fragrance. This ingredient is obtained
from the civet cat, a native of Abyssinfa,
which is domesticated for this very pur-
pose. Another bad-smelling factor is
castorium, obtained from the beaver. but
this is not used to a great extent. Civet
is a very effective binder" and also very
expensive. II looks like brown axle
grease and is somewhat sitter than mo-
lasses, which ii resembles TO some ex-
tent in its crude shape. 1t is in this con
dition that it is shipped in bullock horns.
with the opening covered with bladder.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-12-16

Other animal substances likewise serve
the purpose of binders" while others
are made of various resinOus substances
for some of the cheaper grades of per-
fumery.
The same binder will not serve for every
odor, by any means. Careful experiment.
ing is required to ascertain just where II
is a benefit and where detriment. An
other question of vital Importance is the
effect of its own odor upon that OF the
perfume proper. One of the most familiar
binders, but one not generally known 10
the habitual perfume purchaser under that
name, is musk.
Musk comes mostly from Tonquin.
China 1t is obtained from a certain
species of deer. To some olfactory nerves
it is very dsagreeable; TO others posi-
tive delight The stuff is shipped to deal
ers here in odd-looking cans carefully
covered with silk. The price of musk is
about $40 an ounce, and both the sack as
it is cut from the animal and its contents
are utilized in the trade. To prepare 1T
the perfumer sleeps ii in alcohol for about
six months, and, in rare cases, twice that
length of time.
The process of manufacturing perfumery
is very complicated one, requiring much
intricate machinery. visit made to a
local perfume factory proved extremely
interesting.
The work requires much painstaking
care and discrimination and much greater
skill than is required in the compromising
of a physicians prescription. To the lay
man, however the chief interest is the
discovery Of what the ingredients are that
combine to produce the many delicate
odors. All of the fine effects of the in
dustry are, OF course, worked out In the
laboratory. 1t is there that one strange
and odd smelling substance is mixed with
another until the most delightful results
are obtained. Here the real art of the
perfume maker Is called into play. With
scarcely an exception the cost of these
queer stuffs, most of which are CT foreign
Importation, is surprisingly high, and,
what seems n little odd. the worse the
odor the higher the price. The basis of
all finer grades of perfumery is the essen
tial oil of some fiower-the washings from
the purified grease with which IL is assim-
ilated-and it is this ingredient that gem
orally cuts the most conspicuous figure in
the expenses of the perfume maker.
The most famous essential oil. and prob
ably the most expensive. is the well
known, but seldom encountered, altar of

SOLDIERS THREE WERE THEY.
An Exploit of the AdventurcsOme
Prince Christian In Kumnsi,


The long arm of coincidence is strange
ly wound round the death of Prince Chris
tian Victor and two of his brother office! s.
In the Ashanti expedition of 1896 three
men were bound together in bonu of
personal interest and sympathy. These
were Prince Henry of Battenberg Prince
Chris Ian Victor, and Major Pigott. All
| three have now fallen successfully VIC

Prince Henry, it will be remembered, was

spoke of as the common enemy'-fever.

by four years. While "biackwater fever
carried off the others, a variant in its ma
lignancy in Africa has closed what prom
ised to be brilliant soldierly career.
When at Kumasi he sustained an attack
of the fever Indigenous to the bush, which
proved fatal in the persons or his com
panions, but he successfully threw it off.
There is a legend at Cape Coast Castle
that one of the towers of the fortress
which gives the district its name is

(From the New York Prcss.)

After not raining for a long time it
rained very hard in India and the recent
letters and newspapers from Calcutta de-
scribe the flooding of that city. where the
water stood twenty inches deep in tie
streets. People went about in boats and
wagons and. as the rules of the road were
suspended for the time. there was great
mix-up in the more crowded thorough
fares. In some places pedestrians waded
up to their necks and in others up TO their
knees. Scores of natives went about the
streets spearing fish, The fish tanks had
been overfiowed and it was good fishing
in all the principal streets. especially in
