ENGLISH PERFUMES.
Dorsetshire Flower Farm and Dis
tillery.

1t Is good to find that we are at last
beginning to follow in the steps of our
continental ne!ghbors, and to realize the
possibilities of our temperate climate in
the way of fower-groWing for perfume
and other purposes. For many years the
industry has prospered at Grasse. in the
south of France, and in other places on
the continent. and the dainty crystalized
violets and rose leaves and delicious
scents produced there have found their
way into the English market and OBJ
tanned a reputation. There is really no
reason why we should not manufacture
most of these luxurieS for ourselves. and
as the process of manufacture is pleasant
and healthfui. and the flowers required
can to a great extent be grown upon
otherwise waste and unculrivated land, 1t
is an industry which one is particularly
glad TO see springng up. specially com
menda Bile feature is the effort which is
being made by the heads of some of these
flower farms to interest the cottagers for
many miles round in the work, and to in
duce them to grow or collect flowers, and
even to take a certain part capable of
being performed in their own homeS) in
the process of scent manufacture. All
such widening of interest must be help
full and useful to the country jewellers.

Rather Does Not Warn.
From the Outing Magazine.


This is one reason for the continued
existence of the rattlesnake in the midst
of enemies who would eXterminate it. for
contrary to the general belief. the rattler
rarely gives its characteristic note of
warning until actually attacked. In fact.
the sharp, vibrant ring of its terminal ap-
pendage is probably designed more to as
sist this very sluggist serpent to obtain its
food than to sound defiance or warning.
In the first place. serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory ap-
paratus and are practically deaf. the de-
flciency In the sense of hearing being COM
pensated for by an extreme sensitiveness
Of feeling which makes them aware of the
approach of moving objcts by the vi
bration of the ground.
Hunters. treading cautiously upon a soft
carpet of moss or leaves to avoid alarm
ing game, will often step close to or over
a rattler without disturbing 1t or receiv-
ing warning. and while many snakes are
seen and killed by them. 1t is probable
that a far greater number are passed by
unnoticed. All snakes are timid and would
rather run than fight, and the rattler Is
not inviting certain destruction by adver-
tisng its whereabouts in the brush.

Saddle or Harness Calls.

From Country Life in America.
Iu-htting saddles or harnesses cause
sores on the horse, which, if neglected,

soon results in abrasion of the skin,
which, once broken, testers and becomes
raw. Where the sore is caused by the
saddle 1t should be retitted or replaced by
one that does not chafe the animal. a
good felt saddle cloth or pad is an ex-
cellent preventive.

pense which is gained by those attracted
to the pleasant labor
The flower farm and distillery of which
the present writer has had experience is
situated in the uncultivated heather dis
trict in the center of Dorsetshire. There,
in the month of July and August stretch
acres of blue lavender, s rich in color
ing as the seas Of wild hyacinth which
flood some of the Dorsetshire woods in
spring Other fields are given up to pep
perrnint thyme and sweet balm, more
delicious to the nose than to the eye,
while rosemary and elder line the roads,
and rows of violet plants are to be seen,
resting from their early and late flower
ing seasons. The manufacture of laven-
der-water is one of the most important
branches of the work at this distllery,
and in early August the stills are working
night and day. drawing the sweetness
from the vast stacks of fresh lavender
which are being cut by the sickle, like
ripened corn. In the temporary works
soon to be superseded by large factory
now in process of erection-a number OF
girls are employed in weaving wicker
coverings for the bottles of scent; these
are in all sizes, and some of the smaller
ones are clothed in the daintiest basket
work of fine and beautiful make. Some
of this wicker-weaving is done in the
neighboring cottages, and forms profita-
BILE industry which can be conveniently
carried on In the spare time of the in

PROOF AGAINST RUST.
Process for the Protection Of Iron
and Steel,

Consul Albert Halstead Of Birmingham
reports that an option on the American
rights to a patent process called ''ehera-
dizing," which it is asserted makes iron
and steel rust proof and has been used
successfully in England for a little time
has been sold to firm in New York. He
adds:
1T is claimed for this process that 1t
coats iron and steel with zinc as well as
or better than ordinary wet gaIvanizing.
and that the iron and steel thus coated
can be brilliantly polished. In the process
zinc dust is placed in cylinder which
has been brought to a temperature OF
1902 to 500 F.. that Is. below the melting
point of zinc The articles 1t is desired to
'sheradize' are put into the cylinder, which
is then revolved. The zinc in this process
is not actually melted. but forms an
alloy through the surface of the articles
absorbing the zinc, and then a coating
covering the whole visible surface Is de-
posted to any desirable thickness. Ar
tcles thus treated are said to have an
even and adherent coating, which wears
eXcellently and does not strip, and that
by the use of lime mop are easily pol
ished. 1t had been found that the use Of
the wet galvanizing process upon articles
on which threads are cut made 1t neces-
sary to afterward recut the threads. This,
it is claimed, is obviated in the new
process, thus avoiding both the additional
work Of recutting the threads and also
making the threads themselves rust proof.
Another advantage claimed is that be-
cause articles are not heated to a high
temperature the temper of the steel is
little affected. while its tensile strength
and that of iron remains the same. The
owners of the process assert that 1t will
obviate the necessity of using brass in
the manufacture of many articles that
may rust, an important development in
view of the high cost of brass. Alumi-
mum and antimony can be substituted. it
is said, for zinc, with success while when
copper and its alloys are subjected to this
process their surface Is so hardened as to
even turn the edge of q steel tool

concrete pole a 50 per cent greater power
of resistance.
Even the cracking of the cement did not
apparently weaken the strength of the
concrete pole, since the reinforcement then
becomes active and takes the entire strain.
In addition to the great strength impaired
70 the cement shaft by the carbon steel
twisted rods, the spiral coil binds the body
of the concrete and at the same time i'm
parts additional strength both horizontally
and longitudinally.
Accurate accounts of all expenditures
for labor and material in the construction
Of these poles are stated to show that un-
der average conditions the first cost of
these reinforced concrete poles is about
equal to or slightly in excess of the cost
OF cedar poles set in the ground. With
reinforced concrete poles the renewal cost
incident to the use of wooden poles is en-
tirely removed. as the former are abso-
lutelY indestruCtible.

Preservation of Stone.
From the London Architect.


Under the title of "liquid stone" a
firm of Abchurch lane has produced a
fluid material, the use of which would
revolutiontze the appearance of the city
There is no trouble in It's application The
surface of the building is first rubbed
down to remove the dust. Two coats of
the 'liaud stone" are then laid on after
which it will be almost impossible to de-
tect the cement from the natural stone.
The whole process can be worked from
ladders. no special scaffolding being re-
quired, and consequently much inconveni-
ence and expense are saved. The compost
ton Is, moreover. preservative. and will
retain its appearance as long as natural
stone. and probably longer than some va
rieties which are employed. Not only In
London, but in nearly ali the provincial
towns, many opportunities are presented
to utilize the new preparation.

Thomas A. Edison. the great Ameri-
can inventor, says: Fully eighty per
cent. Of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves" This is
where Indigestion finds its beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it, or
when you eat the wrong kind of food
the digestive organs can not possibly
do the work demanded of them. It
is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help, and also
warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and Indigestion.
You should attend to this at once by
taking something that will actually
do the work for the stomach. Kodo1

natural digestants and vegetable
acids and contains the same juices
found in a healthy stomach. 1t is
