Glass sheets held by frames a few
inches apart are smeared rather
thiclSly with lard, and between these
sheets the freshly picked blossoms
are scattered, touching the frames
but not being pressed by them. In
one day the oil of the flowers exudes,
and the lard absorbs the precious
drops If the flowers are plentiful
they may be changed every six hours,
and in the case of jonquils thirty
times; jasmine is usually changed
eighty times before the layers of lard
are entirely saturated When the
lard has dissolved as much oil as
possible from the flowers, 1t is melted
and dissolved in purified alcohol made
from grain. When this mixture is
filtered, the concentrated extract may
be redissolved in spirits, diluted, or
mixed with other oils according to the
strength or quality desired,
Altar of roses and neroly, the base
of eau de cologne, are made by diff
ferent method. The perfume may be
extracted by an ordinary process of
distillation If a very even heat is OBJ
tanned, but the usual method is the
bain-marie. A large kettle of lard is
immersed in a tub of water at the
boiling point until the grease reaches
a uniform temperature and is entirely
melted. Into this warm lard the
petals of orange blossoms or of roses
are thrown. The petals remain day
or less in this bath, and then the in
odorous wilted flowers are removed
and fresh ones submerged until the
mixture attains the desired strength.
The women beat the mixture into a
cream After the pomade is made,
the oil may be shipped in this state,
or distilled and sold in its concen-
trated form as altar of roses or
n sroly, or diluted to the strength Of
perfume" or eau de cologne.
Twenty thousand pounds of rose
petals are required to make onepound
of altar of roses, valued at about
5000 A thousand pounds approx
mately of the petals of the bitter or
ange are necessary to make pound
of neroly, valued at $40 on an aver

Excursion Boat Inspection.

This sort of weather sends the people
by the thousands out upon the water in
all sorts of craft. The excursion boats
are loaded to the guards in every city
which boasts of lake, river or bay near
by. 1t is comforting to know that Secre-
tary Straus has sent letter to the super
vising inspector general of the steamboat
inspection service urging a rigid enforce
ment of all the regulations. 1t is to be
hoped that this command will be obey ed
thoroughly and not perfunctOrily. The
natural disposition of managers of ex-
cursion boats is to run them with a mini
mum of expense and a a maximum use,
and without the check of a constant Off
Cial supervision the rules as to capacity
drills, equipment and the like will be viO-
lated. The percentage of danger may be
small, reckoning the number Of accidents
in terms of the total number of passen-
gers carried during the season. Yet it
should be possible to reduce that per-
centage TO much lower point than at
present Save for the exigencies of
storms steamboat excursions should be a
perfectly safe form of popular diversion
and recreation. The risk is chiefly run
in the overlooking of boats and in their
careless navigation. Rivalry between
competing Corporations or even between
ships of the same line leads to unwise
and reckless racing in narrow channels
and collisions often result from incom-
'petence or carelessness in the wheel
house. The citizens of Washington should
feel fully protected by the laws and regu-
1ations by reason of being within the
immediate jurisdiction of the headquarters
inspection staff.

career closed as Prince OF Wales. the
world would not have suspected, nor his
people been blessed by the exercise of,
some very fine talents for public business.
One of the first diplomats of the age
would have died with all his gifts unde-
veloped. AS it is. within a few years
after taking the reins he has made his
country stronger abroad than since the
days of Lord Chatham. and made place
for himself among the most influential
sovereigns in the world. He is a great
power for peace and progress, and. what
is welcome on this side, a sincere friend
of America.
The son is discharging. as his father
before him, all the duties that fall to him
by reason of his station. They are mainly
social and ceremOniOus. but 1t is folly TO
consider them unmportant The father
found them school of instruction.; and
he cOnned his lessons with diligence and
large profit. In that school, of brilliant
society fetes and corner stone layings.
and race meetings, and visits to the COL
onies he learned the art of pleasing to
welcome in every country. and by every
one is regarded a friend.
The best friends of Great Britain should
rejoice, in the likeness between father and
son. If the Prince of Wales when he
aScends the throne shows the tact the
grasp and the taste for business that his
father possesses and is exercising, his
people and all people will have reason to
rejoice Society sometimes turns out a
very fine fellow.

Campaign Money and Publicity.

Here is a little story all will read with
interest:
The democratic congressional commit
tee is facing a hard proposition in the
paign, and Representative Lloyd. its
chairman, will go to New York early to-
morrow morning for the purpose of at
tempting to break into the barrels of some
OF the democrats in whose loyalty to the
party he has confidence. The committee
has begun its work two months ahead of
schedule time this year. 1t must have
funds now or call a halt in sending out
literature.
Now. let Chairman Lloyd improve his
opportunity. Let him open a set of books.
and put an expert accountant in charge.
Let every subscription be recorded. and
every dollar expended be recorded Name,
date and all necessary details. Let the
statement appear in writing on the books
that this is done, not in Obedience to law,
for no such law exists, but as voluntary
contribution to virtue and as an example
for all parties to follow.
This would bring the republicans to taw
They would not dare to ignore or pooh
pooh SO striking an act in the interest of
clean elections. They also would be forced
toAkeep books. and announce Willingness
to~have them inspected at any time by
anybody.
And then the Independence party, which
Is to put presidential ticket and here and
there congressional tickets in the field
some time in August, would be obliged to
take notice. Money is necessary to make
even the Hearst mare go. and an account
of it should be kept. Tile stubs OF Mr.
Hearst's check book will not tell the
whole story. He has friends able and will
ing TO help, and who will help.
But will Mr.. Lloyd set this excellent
and desirable example? Probably not.
The fact is that. brought face to face
with anything more than talk in this
business. the practical politician, answer
able for results. is disposed to move slow
~ about publicity. Capital, he knows. is
sensitive. and as much So on this on
any other score. 1t is afraid that its
best intentions will be misunderstood. The
political world is both suspicious and
merciless. When a campaign is in full
swing. everything goes Instructions
are as hard as nails. Put your adver-
sary in hole-by fair means If possible
but put him there"
An honest and perfect publicity would
embarrass the managing politicians to
that extent they would be forced to revo-
lutionize all present methods of cam
paigning. Expenses have grown enor-
mously of late years. and the money to
meet them cannot be collected in small
sums from those whose chief interest in
the game springs from conviction and
party pride. And those who subscribe
literally do not care, for one reason or
another. to have their names published,
with the chances of receiving a roast
ing from ocean to ocean. This is the
simple truth, as everybody knows.

1t will be possible to give the best medi-
cal treatment to those suffering from the
disease who are unable to provide for
themselves. The ravages Of tuberculosis
are most severe among the lower social
classes, who are not only exposed more
gravely to danger by reason Of their
habits and often their inadequate nutri-
ton but have not the means to care for
themselves when the disease develops.
The economic cost OF tuberculosis is
enormous. in the withdrawal from active
pursuits of an army Of workers. This
is one of the great problems Of the day,
and the District IS now taking the first
step toward its solution in providing an
institution where the disease can be treat
ed scientifically and at a minimum of
cost to the sufferers.

Curing Leprosy.

there will be great rejoicing In the scien-
tifc world. This disease has been here
tofore rated as practically hopeless. and
colonies have been established under the
most enlightened systems Of government

prevent the spread of the disease. It ap-
nears from the reports from New Orleans
that out of sixty-one patients at the in
sttution in two years six have been
practically cured. one having been dis
charged and five kept for further OBJ
servation. The most remarkable fact
about this case is that no specific treat
ment for the disease has been under
taken. The patients have been given the
utmost freedom Of action and have been
insured perfectly sanitary surroundings.
