An obliaino President.

During a short lived revolution. says
Harper's Weekly. there came 10 be
the head of the government IN little
Central American republic n man who
was above all things courteous and
who was, moreover. very anxious to
gain the good will of the foreign con.
suls. One Of the latter, having heard
that certain countryman of his had
died. addressed note To the head of
the new government. In which he stat
ed that his own government would be
grateful for certificate of death Of
the individual in question. A few
days later the consul received this
communication:
Esteemed Senor-I blush 10 say that !
cannot at present comply with your ex-
ceilencys request for a death certificate
of the man ma med. l sent my soldiers,
but he got away. TO my shame. | shall
use every effort 10 catch him. however.
and hope 10 send your excelency the de-
sired certificate at an early date.
Needless to say. the consul lost no
time In communicating to the obliging
president the information that the GER
tificate was undesired in view OF the
fact that the individual was able to
get away"

Even the English language empha.

He Is merely called the groom of the
bride. as IL he were just about on "A
level with the bridesmaids and n lit

best man. but the phrase itself tends to
exalt this individual ut the expense Of
his superior.
'Then there's no adjective to de.
scribe what pertains TO the male half
of the affair. You can't speak of tho
'bridcgroonar trousers or necktic. On
the other hand. bridal applies not Only
to the possessions of the girl. but &c
what relates to both of them equally
like the trip md the bridal chamber
The very words matrimony' and mat

As four 6ftls OF the oil extracted
from lavender Is concealed IN the
bloom the harvest takes place Just be-
fore the flower begins TO fade Mt the
end OF August. The oil is distilled by
means of steam, which Is compelled to
penetrate the closely packed lavender
afterward being drawn off IN pipes
that run through cold water. In this
manner the steam is reconverted into
water. but the process of passing
through the lavender has extracted the
oil which floats on the surface of the
water as II runs into glass jars down
below. These Jars have sprouts in the
out while the oil collects above the
level of the exit. In this the FIRST
stage the oil is of n brownish blue
tint. and 1t now has to he refined by
passing once more through water.
Thus all impurities are removed. aud
the oil runs out white, save for u very
pale blue color similar TO that observed

make thirty gallons Of the perfume.
The majority of ladies would be sur
