Il IL Powerful Bleaching Agent and
Alec ls Valuable az an Anti.
septic.

One Of the most powerful bleach
ing agents employed in various
trades is peroxide Of hydrogen, also
known as hydrogen dioxide and oxy-
genated water. The natural color in
ostrich plumes is removed by it and
it will also bleach a great number of
other things, such as bones, ivory,
silver, wood, silk, cotton and hair.
1t can be used to restore the color to
old oil paintings which have become
darkened by age. Peroxide is val.
liable antiseptic and will also de-
stroy Objectionable heterogeneous
in water. It can even be used to
cure indigestion, but for this pur-
pose, as well as for other medicinal
uses, it must be diluted. A drop of
pure peroxide is strong enough to
raise white blister on the skin. Mi
mute quantities of peroxide of hydro
gen are found in the air, in rain
water and in snow, and it is some
times found in the juices of certain
plants. The liquid is produced on
large scale by the action of acids
on peroxide of sodium. The solu-
ton may be concentrated by allowing
the water 10 freeze out, by passing
dry air through it or by evaporation
in vacuum over sulphuric acid

HOW SCENT is MADE.

There are several methods of max.
ing scent. The cheap and nasty way
is by mixing chemicals together to
counterfeit the odor of flowers. This
is how the low-priced and inferior
scents are derived from the flowers
themselves. The blossoms are spread
on glass thickly coated with pure
grease and exposed to the sun. As
they wither the flowers are removed
and replaced again and again by
fresh ones until the grease has be-
come charged with the fragrance,
Another process is by constantly in.
fusing flowers in oil, and a third by
sleeping them in ether. This last
method is the most expensive of all
and produces the finest results. By
the way, you may like to know thai
some of the best kinds of scented
soaps are made from the flower
scented grease. After all the scent
possible has been extracted from il
by stepping it in spirits it is still
fragrant enough to make toilet soap

ALONG CLASSIC LINES.

One of the most perfect types Of
classic buildings in America, accord
ing to architects. has been built by
the United States government at
Denver, Colo, to be used as a post
office and to house the various fed
eral offices in that city with the ex-
ception of the mint, says Popular
Mechanics. The building is of pure
white marble from Colorado quarries
and is 80 feet long by 1870 feet deep
and four stories in height. The style
is a type of Roman architecture
adapted to modern conditions, and
the facades are regarded as notable
in the faithfulness of their classic
lines. On each of the longer sides
there are sixteen massive columns,
and on the shorter sides six columns.
Symbolic statuary is used in groups
and in single figures to relieve the
building of the severity of its gen.
eral outlines, the entire structure
giving an idea of simple beauty that
makes it striking example of public
building architecture.

PLEA FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

In an address on "City Congestion
and Farm Desolation," the Rev. DR..
Joseph Krauskopf of Philadelphia
makes strong plea for the National
Farm school, near Philadelphia, of
which he is president. Pastoral pur-
suits, he says, are potent remedies
against the evils which grow out of
congestion in the parts of the cities
into which foreign immigrants drift.
The resources of the farm school are
limited, the dormitories accommo-
dating only eighty-fve students, and
for the purpose of charging the in
stitution and increasing its activities
DIR. Krauskopf asks all who are in.
terested to become members.

NEW KIND OF RAILROAD HOG
He Attempts 70 Keep Two Seats So
AS to Ee on Shady Side
of Car.

A man who frequently uses the in
terurban cars out of Indianapolis re-
ports a new kind of railroad hog.
81 boarded the car at the Denison
hotel corner" he said, "and noticed
there was only one seat outside the
smoking compartment not occupied
by some person, and it had in it a
large suit case. In the aisle directly
across from the suit case was fat
man who evidently did not belong
to this part Of the country and was
unacquainted with the geography.
81 moved the suit case to the aisle
and took the seat. After we had left
the city and started across the coun-
try the fat man scowled at me,
picked up the suit case and, going
into the smoker, sat down in a va
can't seat on the same side of the
car where l was sitting, the shady
side.
Evidently he had tried to make
sure Of two seats, so as to be able
to select the one on the shady side
after the car had started on its cross
country route, but my removal of his
suit case had spoiled his plan"

VINE OF INsIDIoUs NATURE
Japanese Hop win Grow and Spread
With Persistence Nothing
Can Curb.

Dear to the heart Of the amateur
gardener is the assurance that a vine
is "of rapid growth--a strong am
nual, valuable for covering unsightly
fences and other surfaces, and af-
fording a pleasant shade when
trained up the side Of the porch .
Yet a vine may be all these things,
and possess other attractive qualities,
and still be one to be selected with
much caution. The much advertised
Japanese hop vine, either the plain
or variegated sort, is Of most in
sidious nature.
AS far north as Lake Erie its tiny
seeds take no harm from the bleak
winters, and while your own initial
sowing of them may have needed
coaxing, the self-sowp are all too
vigorous. They come up in a garden
bed, paths, all through the grass,
pushing out and twisting around,
with their wiry, prickly stems, deli
cate ANNALS and stout perennials
alike. The more you pull up, the
more seems to come up. The per-
sistence of self-sown morning glory
Seeding is mere apathy beside the
vigorous determination of these too
Strong ANIMALS" to enter in and pos
sess your garden. The blossom" Ct
Japanese hops being so very small
and inconspicuous-in no way resem-
bling that of the perennial sort
grown for commercial purposes in
this country-one hardly realizes
how abundantly the seeds are being
produced until the following spring.

LONDON AS A NERVE CURE
American Actress Says Its Cheerful
ness and Unruffled Calm Are
Soothing to Soul.

Laura Nelson Hall, an Ameri-
can actress, now playing in London
in '0The Easiest Way" is telling
why she likes London, which she
finds $50 restful after New York
city"
81 love London" she says, ''be-
cause of its immensely, its endless
inspiration, and L think chiefly be-
cause it is the most restful place I've
ever struck. People who don't know
American cities talk of the roar of
London and its Notwithstanding riot.
/ smile-for l come from New York.
London! Why, it's a nerve cure and
soother of the soul that ought to
be recommended by every nerve spe-
cialist who knows his job. I've been
here three months and / haven't seen
dog fight. This is no imputation
of the courage of the British dog;
it is the most eloquent tribute to the
serene influence of your placid city.
All your dogs look cheerful, they re-
feet the unruffied calm Of their own
ers, and together they form living
testimony to those sedative surround
ings which have made so wonderful a
change in my nervous system since
| struck this favored land of beauty
and quietude."

COLLEGE TO TEACH BANKING.

The old days when the humanities
constituted the whole curriculum Of
the colleges are gone. There are pro-
fessorships today on journalism and
a hundred other isms. Now comes
E. G. Converse with a gift of 1885,
900 to establish a professorship Of
banking in Harvard university. He
says it is to put this science on a par
with Greek and theology. Business
colleges for long time have rivaled
high schools in teaching business
rather than any exact or applied sci
ences. So after all Mr.. Converse's
notion is hardly new.

Matter Of convenisncc That Led to
Demand for Establishment Of
Financial Institution.

Harry l.. Confer, chief clerk in
the bank department in the Office Of
the auditor Of state, spent an hour
a few days ago trying to convince a
budding financier that the ordinary
village in Indiana cannot support
more than one bank properly, and
that demands for second banks in
such places could usually be traced
to some purpose other than legiti-
mate banking.
"When | was in a bank in Elk
hart" he said, al was approached
one afternoon by a small merchant
on the South side, who asked if our
bank wouldn't consider a proposal to
establish a branch in his part of the
city. l told him that under the new
law we we're not permitted to estab-
lish branches, and asked him why he
was anxious to have a bank in his
neighborhood, where there we're only
small shops and good banks within
a dozen blocks.
"'We fellows down there some
times have lot Of trouble about get
ting change he replied, 'and we
thought if we could have a bank
down there, it would be handy
