PERFUME FROM ALOE TREE.
Resinous Aromatic Juice That Is Of
Great Value.

The aloe wood tree is n native of
the mountains east and southeast of
Sylhet, in Burmah, and in Bengal. II
is valuable on account of a dark resi-
nous aromatic juice with which the
wood is sometimes gorged. This
resin, or agar as it Is ~cOlloquially
termed, Is used for its perfume and
supposed medicinal properties. II is
very costly and is used both for in
cense In religious and other cerc-
monials and also in the preparation of
a perfume called agar altar. which Is
practically as costly as altar of roses.
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any par
ticular tree will be found to contain
the precious resin. A tribe OF hill
kumlahs make 1t their business to
search for the r%esinous wood. Their
trade Is a secret which they always
endeavor to preserve from all natives
or other tribes. A party of agar KUN
labs goes OFF into the mountains with
provisions for as long as three
months, and they prosecute their tedi.
search in districts where probably
a human being Is not seen from one
month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before II can be as.
certained whether they contain any
of the resinous deposit, and some
times after a wearisOme scared
through half a dozen trees. young anu
old, not a single piece Of agar is dis
covered. Again, 1t nav be that a rich
find Is made and then the collector Is
repaid for half a month OF work.

Fashion In Capes.

Short circular capes are all t.
fashion right now. Those most ~
vogue for early autumn weather are
OF coarse lace; any lace like Cluny,
BRUCE or point Vcnisc is in favor. The
capcs vary in length. Sometimes they
fall just To the shoulders, others reach
to the bust line, and still others
touch the waist. In ecru or dyed Ia
match the color OF the gown they will
be the most fashionable during the
early fall. The smart girl Is sure to
contrive many novel ways Of adding
to the charm of her cape. Sx mey

artistic. looking buttons, or It may
have the effect OF being tied together
with many sm~art.looking little black

through the meshes Of the lace at
