LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DON'T HIT BELOW THE BELr.a
Alderman Mackenzie Accuses Times Of a
Foul Punch.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: in read
ing the report Of the meeting Of the
city council, held last evening, we would
beg TO call your attention to some of
the things that you omitted from your
report. In the first place what You
say in regard to City Clerk Aiackay's
statement relative to plan OF North
Seminary street being in existence is
true. (By the way, you call it Silver
street; it is on the map as Seminary
street.. The city clerk did say that It
was reported to him OF the existence Of
such plan, and the writer Of this
ought TO get it and if possible have some
copies made, and also named the city
attorney or the city clerk as being the
proper man to go after it. You omitted
to mention this; however, whether it
was purposely or otherwise, you know
best. You also make quite hit when
You say that bounds be set and deeds
made at once You know that that
was the advice of the city attorney when
he was Intercepted on the question of
an immediate settlement. Why you left
this out you also know best. You also
say that "the city is going to give j.
b. Ossola $500 for seyen-foot strip
Of land which may belong to the city
already" You know from what was
said at the meeting and also what was
reported by the city engineer that there
were no records whereby the city could
establish its claim to the street, at any
given width, and swear that that was
what the city owned. Ii was because
Of this fact that the city government
of 1898 abandoned the idea Of making
q three-rod street at this place and also
owing to the excessive damage claimed
by the property owners. You also heard
0ssola's deeds read and You make no
comment thereon but write up d report
that suits your fancy which, to say the
least, is cheap imitation of the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting in question. We
do not claim that all the business Of
the city is done with the wisdom oil
lifelong parliamentarians, but we do
claim the right to be quoted fairly,
and, damn it, don't hit below the belt.
J. J. MACKENZIE,
President Board of Aldermen.

FRANCE PRE-EHIINENTLY THE
 LAND OF ITS PRODUCTION.
Report of United States Consul General skinner at MarseiIles to the
 Department of Commerce and Labor.

Washington, Jan. 5.--(SpeciaI.)-- France is pre-eminently the land of |perfumery production. An instructive letter on The Extraction of Essential Oils and Perfumes in France" has come to the Department of Commerce and Labor from United States Consul General Robert P. Skinner. at Mar seillss. which the Department publishes as a bulletin, as below:
 California correspondent, who de- sires information in regard to the "ex- traction of geranium oil," is not suffi- ciently explicit in his inquiries to en- able me to reply as I should like. There appears to be no such thing as a com mercial "geranium oil" in the same sense as olive, almond. or other vege- table oils are commercially My corre- sponent may mean geranium essence, or possibly geranium pomade, popular Iy denominated geranium oil. It would be unprofitable in a consular report to pretend to give practical instructions in so delicate a trade as the distillation of flowers. Americans interested in this subject should serve an appren- ticeship in France, or try to attract to their country foreigners already versed in the business.
 The essences or essential oils, known also as volatile oils and perfumes, are odorous substances, oily, volatile, in- differently soluble in water, more or less so in alcohol. colorless or yellow ish, in1lammable, and likely to alter in the air. They are usually liquid at or- Tdinary temperatures, while some are solid or partly crystaIized. They have not the greasy consistency of the fixed oils and they leave no durable blemish upon paper.
 The most common means of extract ing essences is by means of distillation with water or steam. Although the point of ebullition in the case of es- sences is above 100 degrees C.. they va porizs easily with steam. The fiow1rs are generally gathered before the 1ts-
