fcates of medical practitioners there
were in the year 1906 sixty-four deaths

How TO Get Poor Quick.

How Perfumes
Are Made.

Glass sheets held by frames few
inches apart are smeared rather
thickly 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
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
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
neroly, or diluted to the strength of
perfume" or eau de cologne.
Twenty thousand pounds Of rose
petals are required to make one pound
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 a pound
of neroly, valued at $40 on an aver
age.-Jane Rosamond White, in The

Sponges of the Aegean Sea.

Sponge fishing is the most impor.
tant industry of the Inhabitants OF
the islands lying off the main coast
of Asia Minor Thousands of sea-
men every year are busy cleaning,
drying and bleaching sponges, work
which is not always of pleasing ma
ture, considering the number of lives
lost in stormy seas and in diving.
When sponges are first torn from
the sea bed they are of dark color
and living. By tramping and press
ing them with the feet milky sub
stance oozes out, whereupon the
sponge dies. They are then i'm
mersed in the sea for the space OF
eight or ten hours. The dark skim
ny substance is then removed by
scraping, and gradually, through
cleaning, drying and bleaching, they
take on the fine yellow color which
characterizes many of them. 1t is
said that the sponges taken from
deep beds are better than those
found in the shallow water.
