PERFUMES AND HEALTH.
Essences That SOofhe and Those
That Irritate, and How They
Are Made.

Pure violet essence is said to be
especially suitable to nervous peo-
pie, but it must be obtained from the
flowers themselves, not from the
chemical limitations. Chemically de-
rived perfumes are irritant, poison
Gus, even, to persons of especially
sensitive constitution. True flower
scents are obtained in three ways
first by spreading fresh blossoms
upon glass thickly smeared with pure
grease, letting them stand in the sun
and as they wilt replacing them I'M
til the grease is as fragrant as the
flowers; second, by repeatedly in
fusing fresh petals in oil, and third,
by infusing them in ether, which is
then distilled to a dry solid, reports
the Pictorial Magazine.
AS this solid sells for about $500
an ounce, it is easy to understand
why the ether process, though far
away the best, is not commonly used.
But the scented grease and the es-
sences made by sleeping it in pure
spirit are never cheap. After all the
scent possible has been extracted
from the grease it is still fragrant
enough to make the very finest per-
fumed soap. All the citrine scents,
bergamot, nerol orange flower wa
ter, are refreshing and in degree
stimulating if properly prepared. To
make lasting perfume some animal
base is essential-musk, civet or am
bergris.

about 100000 tons more per annum
than a year ago. This result is OBJ
tanned by adding to the increased pro-
duction the favorable balance in the
international trade Production in
the United States for four or five
months has been at the rate of about
| 17,750,000 tons per year, as compared
with Is, 1901 900 tons a year ago, gain
| in production of 10000 tons per year
A year ago this country was exporting
| iron and steel at the rate of about $780,
| 900 tons per year in excess of imports.
! At present imports are at the rate of
about 1,225,000 tons per year in excess
| of exports; gain in consumption from
this source over 100000 tons. The to-
tai gain in consumption as compared
with a year ago therefore exceeds $780,
900 tons per year. Whereas year ago
the home consumption Of iron and steel
was at the rate of about 15,500,000 tons
yearly, it is now close to 100000 tons.
This estimate is, of course, based on
i the hypothesis that the production and
imports are going directly into con-
sumption, conjecture which the pre-
vailing scarcity of the metal hardly
|
cent in the consumption of iron and
steel, as compared with a year ago, is
rather startling statement of the sit
uation 1t is in tonnage the most re-
markable growth in the history of the
country, and it naturally arouses the
apprehension that this unprecedented
development cannot be permanent.
However, the transformation of rail-
way equipment from wood to steel, the
reconstruction of railway bridges and
track to carry the heavier trains, the
vast consumption in large buildings and
other structures and the extraordinary
growth of all kinds of metal consum-
ing industries account perhaps ade-
quately for the great gain. New uses
| for the industrial metal are appearing
constantly, and these uses are making
the United States the preemifently
strongest and the most highly and eff
ficiently organized nation i'll the world,
for there is a marked contrast in the
activity of iron and steel in the United
States, as compared with that prevail
ling in Europe.

VIRGINIA Man Killed,

Nels p. Fordham, a well-known and
popular young man of the Mesaba
range, residing at Virginia, was found
dead near his claim on the d. V. & r
l.. railroad line, with a bullet hole in
his head. All the indications sur
rounding the body went to show that
Fordham came to his death by a shot
from his own rifle while trying to
ascend a tree to wait for deer. The
remains were brought out by way of
Tower and buried at Virginia Sunday.
He was a member of the Odd Fellows
and Woodmen lodges and was one OF
the most popular young men in the
Mesaba city, being member of the

DOG WITH DIAMOND TOOTH.
PhiIad eIphia Canine That was Iakeh
to Veterinary Hospital Tor
Treatment.

dog with a diamond set in one of
its front teeth was in Philadelphia
recently. 1t was here for medical
treatment, and during its stay in the
dog ward of veterinary hospital up
town it astonished everybody with it's
cleverness.
A French poodle, it had chic that the
nurses said was truly Partisan. 1t had
also innumerable tricks. You would,
for instance, say to it: "Show your
diamond TOOTH" and it would curl
back it's lip in such manner that the
diamond would glitter.
The dog belongs to wealthy woman
of Trenton, n. j. She had the brilliant
set in it's tooth two years ago. What
gave her the idea of this, says the Phil
adelphia Record, was undoubtedly the
sensational story, printed long ago, of
the blaze of diamonds that illumine IS

book, the best one to choose would be
a dictionary, since it gives an inkling
of every art, science or profession
known to mankind. A study of the die
tionary is always interesting and in
structive, and simple turning of it's
pages will acquaint us with many
things of which we have never pre-
viously heard. Notice what a fund Of
information is contained in the follow
ing definitions:
Amphiscians are the people who in
habit the tropics, whose shadows in
one part of the year are cast to tho
north and in the other to the south,
according as the sun is north or south
of their zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants
of the earth living on different sides of
the equator, whose shadows at noon
are cast in contrary directions. Those
| living north of the equator are artis-
clans to those living south of that line,
and vice versa. The shadows on one
| side are cast down toward the north
| and upon the other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who live
| in land where, at certain time of
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inha bitants of the tor
rid zone are Ascians, they having a
vertical sun twice a year.
The PHYSICIANS are the inha bitants

It appears that the portion of the Rosebud Indian reservation in South Dakota te be opened during the coming summer contains more than 100000 acres of excellent land. This will make homes for ? 2,500 families, allowing them 160 acres each, and l60 acres will sup port family comfortably upon that fertile soil. The change from Indian tepees and scattered corn patches to cultivated farms, viii lages, churches and schools will be z welcome one to the people oi South Dakota.

In another place in thls paper may be seen the formal announce mcnt of Judge B. b. Hatcher, as q candidate for the democratic nomi- r1tion for the eff ce of County and Probate Judge of St. Francis coun- tY. Judge Hatcher, as is quite generally known, was recently ap- pointed by Governor Jeff Davis, to the County and Probate Judge ship, to succeed Judge George P. Taylor, deceased, and is now serv- ing out the unexpired term of his distinguished predecessor. The appointment gave general satisfac- ton for many reasons. Judge Hatcher is not an office seeker. He Is a thorough-going business 0an, conservative and careful in the management of his own affairs; and may be depended upon to ad. minister the eounty's business in the same painstaking way, guard ing the finances and best interests oi the county as strenuously as though it were his own private estate. He IS lifelong demo- cr4t; a man of known business auC political integrity, and up to thi, present time has discharged th, duties of the office in a business like manner and 10 the satisfaction of justice. In matters of public poHcy-the proposed iron bridge across the St. Francis, for instance he Is conservative, and believes that such enterprises should not be undertaken just at this time, O. at any time, unless tho condition of the people and the county's eX. chequer warrants same. He be longs 10 no political ring, and is { candidate upon hls merits, and will be gratiied 10 have bis ap- pointment ratified by the voters If nominated and elected Judgc Hatcher will give the business oi the office his careful attention, and make faithful officer.

Administrator German sold the lands of Hiram Evans estate on June 4th, 1902, at the courthouse door about Il o'clock. The lands were sold in eleven parcels. They were appraised Tn the aggregate at Sl4, ,5G0 and were struck off at So t13, which was S6 33A more thal twC-thirds of the ap- raised valued, but nearly S5O60 less than the whole appraise- ment. Before the sale began Honorable ] . k.

The submarine torpedo boat Fulton has made run of ten miles thirty feet under water. This is the best test yet made of subma- rine navigation. An armed sub marine vessel will be exceedingly dangerous to the armored fleets in time of war, Two hundred and thirty-fvc million dollars is the naval committees estimate for 1903. Our 13S ships are not enough, it seems, but the building of more huge floating forts and larger ones than ever, appears of doubtful value just at . time when the little submarine boat Fulton has demonstrated her ability 10 dive and swim under water like a fish.

It has been remarked that "Tho Times is not carrying the State Democratic Ticket" This is not strange, when one stops to remem- Der that up to this good day and hour there is no state democratic tlcket. True the primaries have been held, but until the state con- vention meets there can be no nominees. Perhaps few country papers arc carrying state ticket. This IS probably because they do not know any better, or because they allow their enthusiasm to get away with their knowledge of How to Run . Newspaper. TEe Times will carry the democratic ticket from senator 10 constable when the ticket is made. It would be folly to do so sooner.

 The Arkansas Democrat, ever optimistic in its editorial utter. ances, makes Us feel better by the following assurances. "It is of more importance to the future wei tare and prosperity of Arkansas that we hare good crops this year than anything else of local ma. ture. The result of the short corn crop of last year has been to in crease the acreage of forage, and if all things turn out well this year we shall have greater di- versity of agricultural products than usual. IL is needless 10 say this will be q big advantage to all classes. It is reasonably certain that the price of cotton will be better than last year, and with good crops all round every condi- ton would be prosperous.
