AS HE SAW AMERICAN WOMEN.
An English Visitor Turns to compar.
sons-Beautiful and Attractive.

Isons-BeautifuI and Attractive.
Kansas City, July 1s.-"American
women are the best looking, the most
intelligent and the least pious women
in the world" said an English visitor
in Kansas City. "The type Of beauty
being developed, especially in the east
and the middle west, is just as origin
al as many other of our institutions.
There is nothing just like 1t anywhere
else. The immobile mouth, the ex-
ceptionally straight lip line and the
intent eye are all peculiar to American
WON en-. And the individualism of the
country is producing here a woman
who knows how to look after herself
better than any other woman any
where. The French woman is-just
French. OF course mean by that the
women Of Paris. The French Of the
provinces enjoy an ideal domestic life.
The Englishwoman Of the better class
is largely tinctured with High Church
doctrines and the spirit Of good works.
Great numbers Of them devote their
lives to sisterhoods Of one sort and
another. And unless they are driven
to 1t by the hardest poverty they never
seek independence And In down
right pleasure seeking, too, American
women are easily first. They do not
seem merely to enjoy pleasure they
hunt it-hunt it to the bitter end.
I And as to the domestic home-loving
American woman?
"Why, you may find her in the coun-
try, but surely not in the cities. Elk

FLOWERS ARE GROWN IN MAS.
slvEz LOTS IN FRANCE FOR MAN.
uFAcTuRE OF PERFUMES.
Mediterranean Coast, Between Alps
and Rhine is Popular Spot for the
Cultivation Of Flowers-Process Of
Manufacture.

The culture Of flowers for the man
ufacture of perfumes has developed
into great industry in the southern
part Of France, which borders on the
Mediterranean and extends between
the Alps and the Rhine. I'm the de-
partment Of the Alps-Maritimes the
perfumery industry has probably
made greater strides than in any
other portion of France" says George
Cages in the Monde Moderne of Paris.
Here are more than sixty factories,
the total product of which is valued
at more than $4.000000 year, and
over 1,500 person are constantly en-
ployed, without counting the multi
tude OF harvest hands.
The more important harvests are
those of the rose, 100000 pounds;
the orange flower, 100000 pounds;
the violet, 100000 pounds; the jas
mine 100000 pounds; the tube rose.
100000 pounds; the geranium, 10000
pounds, and the cassia, 100000
pounds. If 1t is considered that all
of these flowers are weighed without
their stems it is evident that the
quantity is enormous, and this fact
will be still better appreciated when
it is explained that in order to OBJ
tain two pounds Of rose leaves no
less than a thousand flowers are re.
CURED, while a thousand punches of
violets. each with diameter of more
than a foot, furnish only forty pounds
of flowers"
MaceratIon the First Step.
Flowers all go through a prelimi-
nary treatment of being placed in
cold room, and plants such as laven-
der, thyme. spike, mint, roots such
as oris fruits and woods are passed
through cutting and macerating ma
chimes. After this has been done, the
perfume is extracted the principle
methods being distillation, maceration,
enfleurage and by the use of dissolv-
ents. Distillation is only employed
when the perfume is not injured by
heat or steam. In this case the
flowers and water are put in large
alembic and heated After the
water begins to boil it DISCREPANCIES
the vegetable cells containing the per-
fume and this is carried by the steam
through the WORM and condensed.
There Is thus obtained mixture Of
water and perfume and 1t Is merely
necessary now to separate the two.
The process of distillation, however,
has two great disadvantages of fire.

tanned, and, therefore, when Is is de.
sired to obtain finer extracts recourse
must be had to other methods.
For maceration the flowers are
thrown into mess of fat melted and

Mt. Pleasant, July 10. Captain
Warren Becky;:.hs Mt. Peasants
leading citizen, and prominently

last night, a victim Of the heat The
news Of his Death spread like wild
fire and came as a great shock to the
city.
In the afternoon, Capt. Beckwith
was entertaining his guests, Horace
Rand and ]. w. Blythe, of Burling-
ton, and had driven them out to the
fair grounds to see some Of his fine
horses. While out there he was pros
trated with the heat and received

for and came up speedily with Dr. Van
Ausdall's automobile, making the trip

fore Mr.. Beckwith died. In the mean
time Capt. Beckwith had been re-
moved to his home and made as COM
Portable as possible, and was chatting
with his family and those around
him, when without warning he
dropped over dead.
Intense Heat Hastens End.
The cause Of his death was heart
failure or paralysis brought on by the
extreme heat Of the past few days.
No arrangements for the funeral have
as yet been made on account of the
limited time and the desire to COM

at a distance.

Kansas, and assisted in laying out the
town of Pawnees City, which had been

time.
During his stay there he became
quite intimately acquainted with Gen.
eral Nathaniel Lyon, who afterwards
saved Missouri for the Union cause.
Came to Burlington as Engineer.
In 1856, Captain Beckwith went, to
Burlington and entered the employ OF
