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


The far famed otto !or atari Of roses
is chiefly made in Bulgaria. Kasanlili
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 TO Il great
height, are separated by paths nine
feet in width 10 allow the oxen and
plow to pass. The perfume is obtained
not only from the petals. but also from!
the stalks and leaves. These give Il
peculiar scent. which adds greatly 10
the delicacy of the perfume of the
petals.
October. April and June are the
months for planting branches Of the
old 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 dhe Monaghan
Prince Djihanguyr and noticed in the
rosewater basins about the passages
an ugly, yellowish oil floating on the
surface. Orders were instantly given
TO remove the unsightly fluid. when j;
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."

If one-tenth as much attention were
devoted TO the fools among the middle
and working classes as is devoted to
the fool sons of the rich. we should be
in danger of believing with Carlyle
that the people are mostly fools" Il
is true that the culture of the suddenly
rich is crudcr and narrower than lii"
culture of those who have had genera
tons of wealth and leisure but culture
Is relative The culture of tho most
cultured classes in the old world is til"
result of large wealth possessed for
generations. Culture is IL matter Of
growth. but if never grows III poverty.
The cheapness of the culture OF tire
very rich in this country as compared
with that of the ariStocraCy of Old
countries is simply the difference hp-
tween youth and age. difference of
experience There is Il comparative
chcapness in the culture. bearing ana
manners of the people of the west
as compared with those Of the east.
and for the same reason. The ariStOc-
racy of the south and of New England
have a refinement quite unlike that of
the newly made rich in New York ana
Chicago and the west. They have been
longer in the making.-Gunton's Maya

A coin dropped into the sea will sink
10 the bottom. however deep it is. owing
TO the fact that the metal is heavier
than the voume of wafer that it dis

1t is ii common but mistaken notion
that the density of the sel increases
with its depth and consequent pressure.
as does the density of tue atmosphere.

Water. on the other hand. is abSo.

THE HANDKERCHIEF.



Uncomfortable Article.
The evolution "f the pocket handker-
cher is odd and interesting. There was
time when il was an unmrnliOnablc
thing. says Modern Society of London
an article Ia he kept out Of sight and
referred 10 only i'll Il whisper. In po-
lite conversation ii was carefully avoid
ed. and rs to ones being caught using
Il handkerchief it meant social oStra-
ciSIn.
This state of things obtained up to
the time of the first Napoleon. when the
Empress Josephine brought it forward
for Il personal reason. The only defect
in her. beauty was an irregularity of
the teeth. and 10 hide this she used Il
delicate little handkerchief. which from
time to time she raised TO her lips.
Thus she WAS enabled TO laugh occa-
Si0nally. Seeing that il was Il case of
either laughter going out or handler-
chiefs coming into fashion. the court
ladies adopted the pretty pieces of cam
brio and lace.
In England the evolution of the arti-
C!c which Is now 50 openly ulSpllSeu
hy women was equally slow. There
was time when it was forbidden TO
mention it on the stage or 10 make use
of it even in the most fearful situation.
while the people in the gallery and the
pit shed their tears into their laps.
Even when il was mentioned for the
first time in one of Shakespeare's plays
il was received with Kisses and general
Indignation by the audience. Little by
little. however. the prejudice gave way,
and Il time came wnen the handker-
chief could be flourished in broad day

The origin of the bridal veil is a dis
puted question that will probably never
be settled. Some see in it nothing
more than a milliner's substitute for
the usual flowing treSses which half
concealed and half revealed Il brides
beauty as She knelt Mt 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 an atIluence Of hair.
Others see its origin in the veil of the
Hebrews marriage ceremony or the
yellow "fammcum' of old Roman
brides
\ third source IS the old care cloth
of the AnglO-SaXons. a square ycStment
held over both bride and bridegroom
till they received the nuptial benedic-
ton. So runs the use of the church of
Sarun and the Hereford missa!.
Lastly. it has been held TO be merely
an amplification of the Golf which mcdi-
avail brides wore between the garland
and thcir hair. Margaret Tudor wore
this under her coronet on her marriage
t. the king of Scotland.

EAT WHILE THEY MOVE.


cher Tells Ci Peculiarly OF Pa
irons of Dining Cars.
The chez on one OF the Pennsylvania
dining cars was particularly laxative
the other day. The train was waiting
for its Philadelphia passengers. and
every table in the diner was occupied.
The second call of Baltimore paSS"n-
gers were standing around the aiSiCS
waiting for vacant places. There WAS
no little amount of diSSenSion among
those whose app2titeS had not yet been
appeased The diners seemed to be eat
ing in most leiSrrely fashion. with no
apparent concern for those who were
less fortunate.
ITS always the way" said the dark
eomplexioned cook, glancin% through
the car. when the train is running
along those people will eat about twice
as fast as they do ordinarily. But
when she comes to Il stop they start 10
talk and hardly touch 4 bite. It's the
motion of the moving train that does
it. Now, you just watch them and see
if I'm not right
Just then the train pulled out. and
the observer saw sight which firmly
convinced him that his informant had
spoken truthfully. Plates. knives and
forks began to rattle industriously. Ev-
cry one began to eat as if his life de-
pended upon the next mouthful.
Didn't tell you sou called out the
grinninS philosopher. - Philadelphia

Highland MakekhfftG.

A few years ago accommodations in
the highlands of Scotland were very
primitive. 1t is related that the young
Duchess of Gordon, on inquiring 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 time he had slept
on the top of the kitchen dresser. \
niece and two other young ladies were
known to have slept in the duchess
bedroom. which probably was not large,
for they were sent out to wash in the
neighboring brook. Miss Macdonell OF
Glengarry. who told this. said also that
there was n waterfall near Ochtertyre
which the late Sir William Murray and
his brothers used as their shower bath.

The shaving of the bridegroom on his
wedding day is Il Bulgarian custom
which. handed down from pre- Chris
tian days. is still observed with due

As the latter's hair is cut the snippin"s
are carefully collected by some of the
girls for preservation in one of the
brides chests. The barber. when his
work is done, receives a small white
linen cloth as 4 present and also q
trif1ing sum of money from each person
there. Then the bridegroom kisses the
hands of the girls, washes his face and
dons his wedding dress. which must
first be carefully weighed three times
by one of the boys.
