Six good races will be run at Ascot
this afternoon, the feature event being
the fourth race a purse affair, at one
mile. Tartan looks best of the lot and
although he does not like weight, has
only a poor lot TO beat and should
win easily. In his last race he was
repeatedly interfered with and when
beaten hopelessly, was eased up.
Milshora. with only 100 pounds, will
go well. as she has lots of early speed
and may run her field dizzy for the

THE PERFECT LIKENESS.
a Snuffbox, a Portrait and a Sur
prised Monarch.

a Snuffbox, a Portrait and a Sur
prised Monarch.
It is related of Frederick H., king Of
Prussia, that he one day made pres
ent of a golden snuffbox to one Of his
counts. When the latter opened the
lid he found the picture of an ass
painted upon the underside of it.
Though he scarcely relished the kings
joke, he said nothing at the time, but
as soon as he quilted the kings pres
ence he sent one of his Wallets with the
snuffbox to the city and gave him In
structions that the picture Of the ass
was to be painted out and a portrait
of the king put in its place.
A few days later distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one Of the guests, and after
time he produced his snuffbox and
pretended to examine it with the air
Of a man who was proud to have re-
ceived such gift from the king. The
latter, wishing to enjoy little amuse-
ment at the counts expense, mention
ed to the Duchess Of Brunswick that
he had made present of the box to
the count on the preceding day. She
desired to inspect it, and when the
box was handed to her she opened
the lid and, looking inside, cried in
raptures: Perfect! The likeness is
charming! 1t is one of the best por-
traits of you that have ever SEEM
She handed the box to the person
next to her, who was equally charmed
| with the likeness. From one to anoth-
| er the box was passed, and all testi-
| fed to the excellent resemblance which
! the picture bore to the king. The king,
| thinking that the ass head was still
| to be seen on the snuffbox. felt exceed
| ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew
| what to make of the incident, but at
| last the snuffbox, having made the
| tour of the table, came to his hands.
| and the first glance showed him how
| cleyerly the count had anticipated his
| little joke and turned it against him.

TRIPLE EXTRACT.
Process by Which the Odor of Flowers
Is Obtained.

Process by Which the Odor of Flowers
Is Obtained.
Flowers that are to be used in the
manufacture of perfumes are always
gathered at nightfall or quite early in
the morning. when the dew is upon
them. Before they are gathered, how
ever receptacles are prepared for them
in the shape of large frames, over
which are stretched cotton cloths well
saturated with olive oil or almond oil.
The cut flowers are brought in and are
thickly spread on frame. Then an
other frame IS fitted over it. and that
in turn is well spread with flowers
Then q third frame is fitted over the
second spread of flowers. and thus the
work goes on until huge pile of
flowers is prepared.
This flower heap is left for two days,
at the end of which time the flowers
are removed from the frames and re-
placed by fresh ones. The frames are
filled and emptied every two days I'M
til two weeks have passed. Then the
cloths are detached from the frames
and placed under great pressure, and
all the oil is pressed out of them. The
oil thus obtained is heavily charged
with the fragrance of the flowers. and
1t is mixed with double its weight Of
very pure rectitied spirit and put in a
vessel called a "digester," which is
simply a porcelain or block tin kettle
that fits in another kettle. When in
use the outer vessel is filled with boil
ing water.
In this vessel the mixture of oil and
spirits "digests'' for three or four days
Then, after having cooled, the spirit is
decanted into another vessel. holding
the same quantity of fragrant oil, and
the digesting process is repeated. Aft
er being thus digested three times the
spirit is found to have taken up enough
of the perfume, and it is then decanted
from the oil for the third and last time
through a tube, one end of which is
filled with cotton wool to serve as a
filter. The fluid thus prepared is call
ed triple extract"

SAW HIS OPPORTUNITY.
The Reporter Seized 1t and Got His
Pal Start L., ifa

The Reporter Seized 1t and Got His
Real Start In Life.
All the city travelling public loves a
strap hanger because it has Il fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
Of how Frank Vanderlip. the banker.
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. 1t happened when Vanderlip
was a reporter on Chicago newspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then. as now, was al
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea Of the financial condition of the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr..
Yerkes had ratified off the reports in
the usual undecipherable corpor alton
way, and no one knew what was do
ing. SO Vanderlip planned a coup.
He bought a share Of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he became
newspaper man. When Mr.. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said. Mr. Yerkes used
one striking phrase, and 1t was this:
1.-THE passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses, but the strap
hangers pay your dividends
The next day the sentence topped
Vanderlip's account Of the meeting.
1t aroused storm of discussion, for 1t
laid bare some of the traction methods;
also it got Vanderlip raise in salary
and omotion.-Saturday Evening
Post.

You can retain your equilibrium east

that Runner of New Britain is hiG-
