Middle Ages Perfumers.

The great perfumers OF the middle
ages were. 1t appears, the Arabs. The
fashion Of using perfumery came Into
west Europe through the crusades.
Italians were the great dealers IN II
and often sold disguised subtle poisons
IN their perfumes. Catherine de- Medi-
ci. like many Of her ancestors, gained
her private and public ends through
poisonous perfumes. Cardinal Riche-
lieu first saw what business could be
created by distlllng the field and or
ange grove flowers Of Provence. Anne
of Austria, the wife Of Louis Nlll.,
could not go d moment without her
tcent bottle and liked to have her linen
scented. Voltaire spoke Of the per-
fumed bath as the luxury OF luxuries.
The sunny hills Of the Var became a
mine of wealth and remain so to this
day. for the scent distilled from flow
ers has a subtle delicacy which still
gives il the primacy. The Empress
Josephine gave another great stimulus
10 the scent industry. She constantly
held before her mouth dainty lace bor-
dered lawn pocket handkerchiefs. on
which she had sprinkled some delicious
perfume.-LOndOn News.

A Prehistoric Monument.

In southern California, In the county
of san Luis Obispo. there is situated
one OF thc most remarkable prehistoric
monuments known to the archaeolo-
gists. From a distance 1t looks like an
immense rock rising from the plains OF
Carissa, but upon nearer approach II
Is seen to be temple Of extraordinary
dimensions and Of unknown antiquity.
The inner court has a level floor 70
feet long and 125 feet wide, and the
ceiling is from co to 100 feet high. ac-
cording to situation. The building was
evidently used by prehistoric man, but
for what purpose and how long since
no one knows. 1t has been suggested,
however, that ii was either temple or
worship or the capitol OF some ancient
government. The walls and portions
of the ceiling are beautifully decorated
with paintings in colors red, white and
black, many Of them supposed to have
some symbolic meaning.
