tlemen, as some of them are. the
trouble would be ended.

The farmers of the county Will have
a good opportunity next week to get
the advantages of the experiences of
others in the institute to be held IN
this city. Speakers of renown have
been secured to address the gathering
during the two days session, and aside
from the out -of-town speakers many
county men of prominence will talk.
The value of the sessions to the pro-
yress ive farmer will be similar to
short course at the agricultural COL
lego, and no farmer who has his heart
and soul in his business can afford TO
miss the meetings. An extremely for
tln ate arrangement has been made by
the Chicago Great Western railway,
whereby Professor Holden. of Iowa
state College. the seed corn specialist,
will be here for an address on the eve
ming of the first day. To hear Holden
is alone worth the time Of any far
mer, and Mr. Holden's presence Will
materially strengthen the institute.

The claim of a local grocer, to the
effect that Marshalltown is the great
es. farmers market in the state, APP
sAAS
that govern the local produce market.
Farmers big markets locally are
those offering a sale for butter and
eggs. two of the most staple commodi-
ties. Consumers demand good butter
and fresh eggs, and the market has
been high all winter. Other towns
have been Offering eggs at lower prices
than local grocers were quoting, but
demand is not so great as here. Lo-
cal grocers are compelled to continue
ally bid high for sufficient demand to
supply their trade. Grocers can sup
ply storage eggs. but people don't want
them as a general thing. when fresh
eggs can be had No matter what the
wage worker in town may thing about
1t the farmer ought to find great deal
Of satisfaction in Marshalltown's pro-
duce market conditions.

Patrons of the theater now have the
chance of saying whether or not they
will support grand opera should Man
ager Busby close contract to bring a
stupendous production here. 1t isn't
portunity of securing Henry W. Saw
ages big English singing aggregation,
and it is up to the lovers Of music to
say whether or not they want it. Grand
opera would no doubt draw large
out of-town patronage, and would
prove beneficial to more than the one
line of business. Sufficient interest
was manifested to bring Thomas or
chestra here on the Y. NJ. c. A. course.
and grand opera should draw fully as
we'll If not better.
There ought to be more activity in
city politics than is now apparent. I'm
less people show enough interest to
make the city campaign hum how are
municipal affairs to be thoroughly dis
cussed among them?

ANCIENT PERFUMES.

Perfumes have played an important
part in the Identification of the people
of all nations and ages. Egypt was the
great mart for all perfumes. Even the
dead were not forgotten, for the en-
balmed mummy was saturated with
spices and scents. and sweet perfumes
were burned before their statues. Those
who could not afford this had scent bot
ties painted on their tombs.
Most of the perfumes We're thought by
the ancients to have a medicinal value.
Thyme was thought to have a tonic
quality and lavender a soothing one
Patchouli was cheering, jasmine stinlu-
lating, while heHotrope was irritating.
unless used in small quantities. Some
people today believe that sandal is a
tonic, and its virtue was known to the
Greeks, who anofnted themselves with
it when they entered the Olympian
games.
The Jews excelled all in their love OF
perfumes, for night and morning they
burnt sweet incense of myrrh, and their
beds were perfumed with aloes and Gin
namon. So Indispensable were scents
considered for the bridal toilet that
one-twelfth of the dowry was set apart
for the purpose. The trade in per-
fumes was enormous in Greece. Like
the Egyptians, they understood the fas-
cinations of flowers, and an Athenian
not only perfumed his house, but scent
ed his drinking vessels with myrrh, the
gum of a tree which grows in Arabia.
TO such an extent was the love of per-
fumes carried that each part of the
body had its special perfume. The hair
required wild thyme, the neck and
knees sweet marjoram, the same balsam.
the cheek and the breast palm oil the
feet and legs sweet ointment. The per-
tuners shops in Athens We're the rem
devious for the beaux to discuss poll
tics and intrigue. The love of per-
fumery spread to the Romans and the
business became SO great that a bunch
of sage denoted their shops. A Roman
lady frequently kept one slave to sprin-
kle her hair. Nero had a rare device of
ivory leaves which shed sweet scents
over his guests.

ENGLAND AS SLAVE MARKET.


In 1872 slavery was declared by the
judges to be contrary to the law Of
England. but, during the years imme-
diately preceding this date, slaves were
commonly sold in this country. In the
