For,une. In Picture Frames.

Some splendid picture frames may he
seen every year at the Royal academy
exhibition. but the finest and costliest
frame ever made for picture was that
which incloses the Virgin and Child
In Milan cathedral. 1t is made Of ham
mered yoki; with an inner moiding of
lapis lazuli The corners of this valu-
able frame have hearts designed in
large pearls and precious stones. Some
idea OF Its value may be gained when
1t is stated that the frame is eight feet
long and six feet wide. Its estimated
worth is f25.000. One OF the pictures
in the Vatican ut Rome. is In, frame
studded. with Jewels, The picture is
a valuable one. but the frame nearly
equals the valie of the painting:

Highland Make.hift..

A few years ago accommodations in
the highlands of Scotland were very
primitive. 1t is related that the young
Duchess of Gordon, on inquirlng how
the late duchess managed toentertain so
much company at Kinrara. where there
seemed no room, was told by the butler
that for weeks at II time he had slept
ON the top of the kitchen dresser. A
niece and two other young ladies' We're
known to have slept In the duchess
bedroom, which probably was not large,
for they We're sent out TO wash In the
ncighboring brook. Miss Macdonell of
Glengarry, who told this. said also that
there WAS a waterfall near Ochtertyre

his brothers used as their shower .ba tn.

The Bridal Veil.

The origin OF the bridal veil is a dis
puted question that will probably never
be settled. Some see In II nothing
more than milliner's substitute for
the usual flowing tresses which half
concealed and half revealed brides
beauty az she knelt at the altar This
opinion is countenanced by the fact
that Elizabeth Stuart was not thought
10 require an artificial veil. as nature
had given her IN atfiuenee of hair.
Others see its origin In the veil of the
Hebrews marriage ceremony or the
yellow @'fammeum" of old Roman
brides.
A third source is the old "care cloth"
OF the Anglo Saxons, a square vestment
held over both bride and bridegroom
fill they received the nuptial benedic-
ton. So runs the use of. the church Of
Sarum and the Hereford missal
Lastly. 1t has been held to be merely
.an application of the Golf which rnedi-
eval brides wore between the garland
and their hair Margaret Tudor wore
this under her coronet on her marriage
TO the king of Scotland.

A FAMOUS PERFUME.
Delicious Altar of Roses Is Chiefly
Made In Bulgaria.

The far famed otto Tor attar) of roses
is chiefly made h<Bulgaria- Kasanlik
is the center Of the rose growing coun-
try Red roses only are used in max
ing the. perfume, but white roses, which
grow more freely, form the hedges Of
the fields.
The trees. which grow 10 Il great
height. are separated by paths nine
feet in width to allow the oxen and
pillow to pass. The perfume is obtained
not only from the petals. but also from
the stalks and leaves. These give a
peculiar scent, which adds greatly TO
the delicacy of the perfume of the
petals.
October, April and June are the
months for planting branches of the
DID trees. Wedding, pruning and digging
are necessary for three years when
they are full grown and repay the labor
spent upon them by bearing for twenty
years.
The discovery of the delicious altar
was quite an accident and took place
three centuries ago, The Persian Prin-
cess Nour Djihan was strolling through
the splendid galleries OF her palace
with her betrothed 0he Monaghan
Prince DJihanguyp and noticed in the
rosewater basins about the passages
an ugly. yellowish oil floating on the
surface. Orders were instantly given
10 remove the unsightly fluid. when II
was discovered the perfume was also
removed. Thus the virtue OF the essen
tial oil was found out. which is still
called In Persia Altar Djihan."

The shaving of tue bridegroom on his
wedding day is Bulgarian custom
which. handed down from pre- Chris
tian days is still observed with due
formallty, especially in country dis
trlcts. While the barber is ut his
task n dancing crowd OF young folks
surrounds him and the bridegroom.
As the latters hair Is cut the snippings
are carefully collected by some of the
girls for preservation in one of the

The average man, IL he had birds
appetite, would devour from thirty to
thirty one pounds Of food day, which
would be tax on the larder of his
hostess.
Recent experiments have proved that
the average bird manages to eat about
one fifth Of his own weight daily with
ease, II he can get so much food, and
In wild state, though the bird has TO
hunt for his daily provender. he is eat
ing Il large part Of the time during the
day and manages to get his full ra-

The smaller the bird the more vor0-
eious seems to be Its appetite and its
power of absorption.
A German scientist recently kept IA
canary under observation for month.
The little creature weighed only six
teen grams, but In the course of the
month 1t managed to eat 512 grams
weight of food-tbat is. about thirty
two times Its own weight. The bird
must therefore have eaten its own
weight in food every day: =
