A Mule as q Life-Sayer.
From Leslie's Weekly.

The mine mule knows thing or two
quite as wen as does the army mule In
one Of the mines in the Pittsburg district
the ever-patient mule proved himself pos
sessed of an almost human sense of COM
Ing danger. tOnea morning, when the full
shift was at, work. there occurred an I'M
usual thing The air currents had seemed
defective and there was restless feeling
among the miners something like the un-
easiness Of livestock before a storm A
few days previous a chamber had been
closed on account of gas. and the men were
instinctively thinking Of what that might
mean. Suddenly there was a clatter Of
hoofs, and armule appeared. It's long ears
were quivering and its Intelligent eyes
were full OFF terrbr.
1t gave a shrill bray and then was gone
down the entry, broken traces flying after
it. The mem looked at one another, and
then the feNerishness Of the air moved
them with one impulse. Dropping picks,
they fed precipitately, making a headlong
dash through the labyrinth for the open
air. With scared faces other miners Joined
them, and while they were wondering what
1t all meant a dull. deep explosion went
rumbling through the hollow back Of them,
followed by wave. upon wave of noxious
vapors Then they understood. When the
bodies of the few poor men who had been
hopelessly entrapped were recovered. an
other was tenderly carried out with theirs
that of the little gray mule that sounded
the warning. 1s-

WHENCE PERFUMES COME.
France, Not Persia, is the Chief Source
of the Choicest Scents.
From the London Express.

France, Not Persia, is the Chief Source
of the Choicest Scents.
From the London Express.
Many persons suppose that perfumes Of
the finest sort are all made in Persia. AS
a matter of fact, this is erroneous. For two
centuries the inhabitants OF the Valley of
the Var in southeastern France, have been
engaged in the making Of exquisite per-
fumes from flowers. Many curious facts
concerning the secrets of the plant world
have been learned by them. and the knowl-
edge has been well utilized.
For example. the inhabitants of the little
French valley have proved by many exper-
iments, covering period of 200 years that
the seven plants whose flowers contain or
will produce by combination the perfume
Of all the others are the orange, rose, vio-
let jasmine. acacia jonquil and tuberose.
Therefore, these are the only ones they
mixing for the other Odors of commerce.
Among one Of the first secrets which
these old perfume makers learned was that
the scent of the flower Is not contained in
any gland or little sac, but rather that it
is exhaled by the flower somewhat in the
fashion of breathing and that If the bios
som be crushed the scent is destroyed
Another thing they found out early in
their work was the fact that fresh grease
will absorb this breath Of the flowers most
readily, and that in turn will yield up its
treasure to alcOhUi. Using these facts the
people of Var have SO built up their indus
try that today they supply a good portion
of the worlds market with flower perfume
There are two ways of obtaining the
scent from these flowers. BY far the more
common is the method of "enf1eurage."
Large pieces of glass, each framed in
wooden case, are prepared, and over the
surface is spread a layer of clean, fresh
grease on which are piled the flowers
Each kind Of flower, of course, is kept sep
arate
The perfume is quickly absorbed In the
fat and as soon as the blossoms. wither
fresh ones are placed in the frame in their
stead And the process is continued
during the whole season of blossoming
after whfsh the grease is scraped off the
glass and is put in alcohol having pre-
viously been chopped fine. In this way
every particle may be reached by the spirit
and none of the precious perfume lost
'tMaceration" Is the name given to the
other process Of extraction. It is used
where the method of "enfeurage'' Is not
satisfactory in getting the whole of the
odor, and Is similar. The flowers are in
fused in bath Of warm oil for many
hours, and are then strained away and
fresh ones added, the process being kept
no as long as the blooms can be procured
1t is said that the best essence is obtained
from the jasmine and tuberose by the en-
heurage, but the orange, acacia and rose
are found to give more satisfactory results
by the method of maceration. To get the
best odor from the violet and jonuuiI a
Joint process Is used-first enf1eurage and
then maceratiOn.

When the Window Rattles.
r rom the Chfcapo Post

From the Chicago Post.
Possibly you have had this experience:
The wind bowls without, and just as you
are falling into a doze the sash rattles.
"Drat the Window you say, and turn
over.
There is a lull: then another gust of
wind. and the rafting is heard louder than
before.
'In have to fix that!' you exclaim. for
single loose window is most effective
sleep disturber. If several were rafting it
would not be SO bad, but one that shakes
sharply at intervals wears on the nerves
So you get up and put a tiny paper plug
between the casing and the sash.
A few minutes later you become suddenly
conscious of the fact that it ia rafting
again.
''WeIl, let it," you say, in disgust; but
you can't. Your mind is now on 1t, and you
find yourself involuntarily listening for the
expected noise, and wondering how long
you get up and put in another plug Of
paper.
'"rhat'n settle It," you say; but It
doesn't. Just as you are convinced it is
all right it rattles again.
'In how many dod-gasted places Is that
window loose?" you mutter. as you get up
and insert third plug. Then for ten min
utes you listen so intently that it hurts,
but you do not hear sound.
"At last" you say, with sigh Of relief
and Immediately thereafter 1t rattles.
Perhaps on the fourth or fifth trial you
get it fixed, and when you are satisfied
that 1t is all right you say to yourself,
tomorrow" after which you fall asleep.
And then you forget all about the car
penter until some night when the wind
gets on another bender.

Famous Illinois Landmark Fast Being
Destroyed by Relic Hunters.


From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Old Fort Charities will soon be thing of
the past, as the walls are fast crumbIing
and being carried away as souvenirs by the
many relic-hunters VINO visit the place eacn
summer.
The fort was first commenced of wood I'm
the year 171S. and completed in less than
two years 1t was located twelve miles
south of Red Bud, Ill. about three miles
from the eastern bluff of the Mississippi
river, and one mile from the river. The
fortress was called, py way of eminence,
Fort des Chartres," having a charter
from the crown of France for its erection.
The first fort contained all the necessary
buildings to accommodate the seat OF gov
eminent of the country and garrison. The
quarters of the officers and barracks for
the soldiers were fnIsaed in the neat and
becoming style of the country in pioneer
times. Surrounding the whole was erected
a strong paliSade, fortified with earth be-
tween the walls of wood, until it babe de-
fiance to any enemy that might approach
it in this remote situation. The headquar-
tiers of NJ. Philip Renault were also estab-
lished i'm this fort. lt from this point
he left Illinois in the year 1d44 to return
to France. About the time of his arrival
in hts native land he died.
Under the mild and impartial government
the country commenced to grow aud -four
ish, and the seat of government, Fort
Chartres, became the center of fashion,
business and gayety Of all the Illinois coun-
try.
Under Governor la Buissoniere Fort
Chartres was built entirely new. Its recon-
struction was of solid and durable lime
stone. The rocks were Quarried at the
bluffs. three miles east of the fort, and
then RATED and boared over the lake to
the building. This fort was constructed in
the year 1876. In 1T16 / great food swept
over the Mississippi river valley, partly de-
stroying the fort. The English government
then abandoned Fort Charities and estab-
lished its authority at Fort Gage on the
bluffS east or Easkaskia
