of the jobbers and dealers who used to come
buy the oil for expectation. While buying

and at the same time render it less easy OF
detection, their next step was TO import the
crude oil direct from Co~nstantinople and
in the presence Of the growers redis.ill and
refine it into rose water and rose flowers,
thus removing its heavy and vegetable
odor.
The growers in many cases took note on
this, and soon learned to help themselves:
while the pedlers started regular factories
for the express purpose Of refining the
geranium oil and selling il to b peasants

About fifteen years 6 the Bulgarian
Government, approaching the harm that
was being wrought, prohibited the importa-
ton of geranium, but instead Of preventing
it, it has encouraged a lot OF smugglers,
who do a thriving business sub rosa.
The Government has also passed q law
by which all exporters are obliged TO have

Government statistics show that about
5000 vessels rounded Cape Cod during
the year ended March 81, 1899. They repre-

avoided. and I2O miles. by the outside route,
or seventy miles by the Sound route, will

The scheme has been talked of for more
than two centuries. From Buzzard's Bay

Elephants, like all other wild animals,

More small elephants than big ones are

to transport and showmen like them, too,
because young elephants are more tractable

are attractive anyway.
Then. the elephant is a hardy animal

PARIS, April 5.-A quarter of a century
or 80 ago the American who declared that
be could live as we'll in either London or
Paris as In New York on half the income
required in the American city exaggerated
scarcely at all. In those days b was
cheap, house rent was not excessive, and
food was not dear in European capitals.
The wheel Of time has revolved, bring
ing great changes in European centres;
and il prices continue to increase, Amerl-
cans who have become expatriates from
motives Of economy will have to bundle
I'D their household goods and hasten back
to the land Of their birth.
Wages are higher in England than in
France, and yet articles of food in the latter
country are higher than in England. The
Briton may not be as careful a workman
as the Frenchman, but he gets through in
half the time. The French workman is
rewarded poorly for his services, but, being
slower than the Briton, in the end he gains

things are about equalized.
When the salary of a municipal post is
fair, France believes not in hiring one man
but In a division Of the salary, the idea being
that II the salary is split two may enjoy
the benefit better than one. While there
may be much squandering Of money in the

Among the various teachers of ancient

Egypt recently arrived in New York is
exceptional in beginning not with the soul
but the liver. The first Of 100 exercises
which he says are essential Parts of the
secret rhi!osoT by of light and rover as
taught by Eoroaster has as its aim to get

This initial exercise consists in standing
erect, the thumbs on the hips n the hands
lying fiat on the abdomen and first drawing
In the abdominal muscles and then eX-
panding them, in each case as much as is
possible. Repeating this twelve times
constitutes an exercise, which the pupil
takes twice or three times a day as he
chooses: but there must be no %wabbling
from two one Gay to three the next and
none the Cay following. All must be done
regularly and with precision.
II is declared that these so-called sacred
exercises, performed in exactly the right
way and regularly evoking latent powers,
give strength and force of character and
lead to perfect attunement with the uni
verse. When this is gained it is said all
friction ceases and it becomes impossible
to rub others or to be yourself rubbed
the wrong way. Surely a desi6eratum
worth all the trouble involved in doing
hundreds of exercises.
Having put the liver in commission the
pupil proceeds to the second exercise.
This is directed to the respiration, which
is said especially to affect that finer body
| which Pythagoras called the subtle chariot
of the soul and Orientals name the astral
! body. This exercise is, while drawing in a
deep breath and expanding the chest, to
double the hands into tight fists and make
all the muscles taut.
