The Pil0rimaPe.

Each man of us in this world is pill
grim whose road stretches down the 18th
mus Of time. This road connects the
continents OF the past and the future. In
youth. as we travel, we pluck flowers /;
sing with the birds; select friends from
those we meet. and grow ecstatic over
the outline OF the continent Of the future
as it rises TO view. In middle life we
grow steady Of pace sober OF mind |;
change our song; make few friends, and
glance backward over our shoulder.
When we turn down the hill and the sun
of life dips the horizon, we love TO ignore
the heightened shadow and face toward
the Joy of the beginning. At last we
come to a realization that the pilgrimage
has been one of soul, and when our feet
strike the eternal land. and the quest is
over, we find that we have carried with
us the riches OF all lands through which
we have passed. This is the lesson OF
LIES pilgrimage.

Manufacture of Perfume.

The city of GraSSe. in southern France,
claims to control the market for the most
delicate essences. For ten months Of
the year the entire population Of this
place is engaged in gathering, sorting and
distilling blooms.
About the town, Harper's Magazine
tells US, are flower gardens which extend
for many miles, and from which are
plucked, in single season, more than
three million pounds of roses, half as
many again of orange blossoms, a million
pounds of jasmine, nearly as much OF
violets, and hundreds OF thousands OF
pounds of other flowers, including laven-
der, tuberoSes, thyme, rosemary, myrtle
and jonquils.
After these are picked they must be
carefully sorted, and in the c sc OF The
roses, at least. the petals carefully sep
arated from the piStils by hand.
The essential oils are extracted in sew
eral different ways, in each OF which the
Grassois have kept abreast OF modern
science and have utilized the latest dis
coverieS OF the chemical laboratory.
Rosemary, thyme, lavender, geranium,
roses, and orange-flowers they diStil by
steam, in huge alembicS which hold from
three hundred to sixty thousands quarts.
The oil is skinned from the water
after condensation. The water itself is
preserved and used over and over again,
for it is saturated with the perfume, and
great quantities of il are sold as jasmine
water, rose water, and other flower
waters.
For the extrection of the more delicate
essences the method in highest favor is
that OF cold enfleurage. On the pureSt Of
cold lard. spread on glass plates in wood
en- frames, the fresh flowers are laid until
the lard becomes saturated pomade Of
essence. Cold alcohol is then added TO
the lard and the two continually padded
together, until the alcohol has dissolved
out the floral oil. After the evaporation
of the alcohol the perfume remains as the
"quinteSSence" Of the flower.
The third method. by which the "quint
essences" of rose and violet are obtained,
is hot maceration, in which the flowers
are put into the hot lard and there con-
tinually stirred, the lard being afterwards
pressed out. The most modern of all
methods, although not the best in results,
is that in which the perfumes are extract
ed in a closed vessel by some light spirit
Of petroleum.
A pound of oil extracted from orange
flowers by the steam process is worth
thlrty-six dollars; extracted by petroleum
it is worth twice much, and by melted
lard one hundred and thirty-Six dollars.
Violet essence extracted by the petro-
leum method is worth one hundred and
sixty-three dollars pound. but pound
extracted through lard is worth more than
fourteen hundred dollars.
It's curious characteristic OF the per-
fume manufacture that although chemists
have succeeded in closely initiating many
of the odors by synthesiS, this competi-
ton has stimulated and not cut down the
demand for the natural product Artifi-
cial odors, used TO scent soaps and other
toilet articles. apparently add to The de-
sire for the finest essences in the scent

Medical Lore of Long Ago.

That prehistoric man had ideas on
medicine and surgery is proved by the
researches now in progress by the dis
tinguished Roman physiologiSt, Pro-
fessor Mosso, in Sicily and Cyprus. In
examining skeletons OF men OF the neo-
lthic age, Professor MosSo finds that
tuberculosis must have been OF primeVal
occurrence, judging from the ankylosis
found in the knee-joint consequent on a
so-called "white tumor." A iawbone
was found bearing LESSONS consequent on
cancer; but It is anthritiS in every form,
central and collateral, that has been most
often and most clearly diagnosed In
treating wounds regular and well un-
derstood system was evidently employ
ed. An arrowhead, for example, i'm
bedded in a bone was not extracted, but
the so-called "cure" took the form OF
rest and restorative nourishment for the
sufferer. "White tumorS" tuberculosis
in origin were allowed 10 cure them
selves by ankylosis, resulting in rigidity
of the joint or limb, only obtainable by
repose and nutriment. Whether or not
other special cures were in practice can
not be made out with certainty, though
it is significant that many of the severely
wounded must have survived their le-
sions and that high percentage OF frac-
lures must have been conducted to COM
plete reparation. Skeletons, moreover,
are in evidence with the traces OF chronic
surgical maladies. oflong duration, which
testify to the patients having been under
some system of cure, protected in the
struggle with the allment or even artl-
ficially sustained during its progress.
