AMERICANS LIKE SCENTS.
Tons of Violets Are Grown for Purpose
 of Making Pomade.

Throu -hout the south. in southern California and the middle west there are many places where soil and climate are particularly adapted to flower growing, and the field is open for aome energetic individual to start ar indus try which eventually might become as great as those of rerown at Grasse or Nice. The Americans. it io said. are the greatest scent-using people in the world. Every year thousands of dol lars worth of perfumes and pomades are imported and distributed through out the states The best violet pomade, which ia one of the most expensive made, as'ls at wholesale for not less than s2.50 per pound, while a number of others are hardly less expensive. In the hope of eventually supplying this demand violets during the last few years have been produced by the ton in southern California
 Pomades are first made, sort of stock. from which the skillful per fumer extracts the odors by means. of alcohol. The refuse, or waste material, he then, with a little judiclous doctor ing, makes into soaps other pomades or violet waters. vFrom roses pomades are usually made through the process called "exhaustion:" stated simply, it ii in the following way: Great pans filled with lard or beef fat are covered thickly with the petals of the blossoms and then heated by steam. As they beoin to give up their essences their color pales. an occurrence which Is the signal for their removal. The lard is then covered with fresh petalc. which again are only allowed to remain on its sur face long enough to lose their fra Grance. Three or four times the lard Is thus strewn with fresh petals, un- til it has become so thoroughly satu- rated with the odors that t will receive no more. The fat then Is placed In a sieve and the thick substance which is pressed out of it is called pomade.

Now as sure a preventive and cure for dandruff. which causes fall ing hair and badness has been discov- ered-Newbro's Herpicide. It kills the dandruff germ. C. H. Reed.

done by a machine, which collects the water or oil and thus obtains the very quintessence of perfume. Something of its value may be conceived when it is known that 10000 pounds of roae leaves produce but one pound oe the essence, but of such intense strength are these essences that with tn aid of oils, resin or some animal secretions, perfumers, through combinations ani manipula- tions, can obtain from them almost any desired scent, They can, moreover, keep strictly In pace with the fashions. IL Is because of this that VIC occasion ally read Of the immense sales which some favored orchid perfume has had, although we may know that this par ticular flower ls quite lacking in the charm of fragrance.
 At on, time We lad thrust upon us innumerable golden-rod perfumes, be- cause the plant was then being talked about for the national flower The sweet scented golden rod, solidago odo- rata, however. Is the only one of the great tribe which has any perceptible odor. and that being similar to anise would hardly be agreeable to wear con- tnually about ones clothes. At the present time violet io the most fash ionable scent. and the flower has been perfe cted to an astonishing degree. Be- sides the output from various other places "Co,000 pounds of these blossoms are used annually at Grasoe in France and 10000 pounds at Came and Nice. To obtain this perfume the flowers have to be treated in quite a different way from roses. Like heliotrope, tube roses, jessamine and mignonette, they cannot be subjected to heat. Therefore they are brought into contact with wool saturated with olive oil, through which their particular oils pass outward. or el:'e they are exposed to lard thinly spread on framed sheets of glass. Of course, as with the rose leaves, these thoroughly saturated.
 Everything. it must be remembered, in connection with the handling of the flower, must be done quickly for much depends on their perfect freshness. their scent being their most elusive and quickly lost characteristic At Gcasse hundreds of women are about before eawn picking the blossoms, whi, h they aiSo clean and pile in great masses in the work rooms. These places must be spacious. full of light and air, but never admit the direct rays of the sun. Owing to this very necessity for speed the yearly product of essences, which i1 now enormous. would not be possible were it not that the flowers follow each other in succession In their seasons of Booming.
 Always there ceems to be d demand for some new scent The well known frangi!anni egsence, which at one time was only detected on a certain select few, Is made up from several species of plumerla. a genus of plants which grows in certain parts of South Amer ica and in the West Indies. or perhapa more especially from plumeria rubra. The Japanese. Gichia. now the most exclu i've and fashionable scent, leaves a wave of faint impressions similar to the odor of sandlewood.

THE CONQUEST OF coREA.

Seventeen centuries ago the Japanese Emperor Chual was playing his lute in the presence of hi1 wife and prime min ister. Whether on account of the mu- sic or from some other cause, the em- presa became inspisei with a divine afiiatus and began to utter the thoughts put into her mind by the deity. 'There is land to the westward" she ex- claimed, and in that land is abun- dance of treasure, gold and silver, dag zling to look upon. This land I will now bestow upon you"
 The emperor pushed away his lute. If you go up to high place and look toward the west" said he. there is no land to be seen, but only the great wa tet's. They are lying spirits who have spoken to you"
 Then the god was filled with anger, and again he moved the empress to prophecy You are not fit," she said, Ito rule this empire. Go the one road!" But the prime minister tremble1 when he heard these words. and said to his master. T am troubled, my heavenly s,oveteign, by this terrible message. Continue, I pray, to pay the august lute.'
 The Emperor Chual commenced to play softly: gradually the sound died away; all was still. They held light to his face and saw that he was dead. But the empress put herself at the head of her fleet, invaded the land of gold ard silver with her warriors, and soon made the three kingdoms of Corea trib- utary to Japan.
 These things happened. we are told. In the year 201 A. D.. and the story of the valiant empress is as familiar to a Jaranesa as is that of Boadicea to our selves.-N.neteenth Century

WHEN THE DEAD AWAKEN.
Strange Events in Which Corpses Have
 Seemed to Feign Life.

Live persons have felgned death with marvellous exactness, but when the dead feign life, or seem to feign life. the spectacle i5 as grewoome as can be ina cined.
 Not long ago Russian cematery was the scene of as weird a wedding as ever has been witnessed. A young girl who had been betrothed died on the eve of her marriage, and her friends decided that. in spite of the intervening hand of death, the marriage should be car ried on, and the ceremony was per- formed at the side of the grave, and after the marriage the body was re- turned to ths coffin and lowered to it's long re ting place.
 It is less than a year ago that val uable cup was won in bicycle race in Australia by a man who was dead when he passed the winning post. The race took place at an ''electric light carnival" go called in the presence of 10000 spectators. In the last lap James Somorvillc, a rider, forged to the front and necured such a lead that his vic- tory was assured. When within twen- ty-five yards of the ini:h he was seen to relax his hold on the pedals. He did not fall from the machine, however, and amid the frantic cheers dashed by the goal. winning the race by half a wheel. As he passed the finishing post he pitched forward and fell to the ground. When he was picked up he Wan found to be dead and what was more, the doctors declared that death had come to him when he was seen to lose his held of the handle bars. It

of the Camden Christian Scientists,
was witness before Judge Richard T.
Miller in Camden, in the suit brought
by Kate McCullock to recover $4,000
entrusted by her to the doctor when

healed. Besides the two principals
and the attorneys there was present
Mrs. Estella Baker, a young widow,
who has been Tomkins' companion
and chief supporter in the Christian
Science fight.
The main portion of the testimony
was taken on the question of how
much of Miss McCullock's money the
doctor had invested in the house &C.
cupied by Mrs. Baker. In reply to a
question as to what methods he used
in collecting mortgage and several
notes give him by Miss McCullock
doctor Tomkins replied:
by time and thought, by writing
letters and using Christian Science
methods"

AMERICAN dealers Gan FInd Market
for Walnut Logs.
Washington, April 7.-Consul Skin
ner at Marseilles reports as follows
upon the demand for walnut logs in
France:
"a scarcity of walnut logs for the
manufacture of furniture is reported
to me by dealers in this city, who ex-
press wish to get IN touch with
American firms able to supply both
light and dark coloped walnut. All
kinds of exotic wood in logs are ad-
mitted free of duty; squared lumber
is dutiable at the rate of "a cents per
220 pounds. While walnut is the tim
Der most in demand and the most
difficult to obtain, there is also an op-
portunity to dispose of ebony and ma
hogany If American firms are at
present prepared to export these
woods from our colonial possessions.
'The walnut logs should not be less
than IA inches in diameter, nor less
than nine feet in length Sawed lum-
Der should be at least one inch thick
and preferably thicker The buyers
aes2re a timber that is handsomely
veined and free from blemishes.
Present prices are about $3.50 per
1908 cubic yards FOR logs and S2412

Der. While it is desirable that Amer
