Perfamlng the Summer Wardrobe

In order to properly perfume
ones personal apparel, care should
be taken to buy the best ingredients
for the perfume or the sachet, and
use but little Of it, a single drop on
garment. Laces, handkerchiefs,
lingerie, should all get their odor
from their lying in boxes or drawers
lined with sachet powder bags; the
odor should be faint and delicate,
and only pure drugs should be used.
Always patronize reputable drug
gist, though it may We more expen-
sive at first. The sachet powders,
etc, ordered through the mail, or
bought over the counters of cheap
stores, are not often lasting, or sat-
isGactory.
For sachet powder to lay about
among the clothing, or hang in
wardrobes among dresses, get the
best grade of Florentine orris root,
and fill little china silk bags with it.
Lay these sachet bags wherever you
want the perfume. If perfumes
are good and pure, it only takes a
short time for the odors to permeate
the wood or Innings, and impart to
anything contained IN the recepta'
Giles the faint, delicate scent one
likes best. A single grain of musk,
well wrapped in cotton to prevent its
becoming too strong, is practically
imperishable, and will soon lend a
very rich fragrance to the garments.
A drop of genuine after of roses
will do the same, but each of these
is very expensive.
For good sachet powder, which
reliable druggist should mix to in
sure purity of drugs, take ten
grammes each of powdered tonka
bean, cloves and cinnamon all
powdered; twenty-five grammes
each of benzoin powder, sandal
wood, orange peel powder; fifty
grammes of lavender flower powder,
and 500 grammes of orange flower
powder.
This will make quantity suffi-
cient TO fill large sachets for lining
drawers of dressers, or trunk trays,
or bottoms of boxes. To make the
sachets, have thick cotton wadding,
open halves and on the one sprinkle
plentifully of the mixture, cover
with the other half, tack or tuft
or loosely quilt the two together,
and lay where wanted.

HEAT AND THE POLICE COURT.

Psychologists have long wondered al the
apparent relation between hot weather and
crime. Ancients would probably have said

helpless humanity had nothing to do save
to respond.
Whatever the scientific reason. the fact
seems 70 REMAIN. No one ever knew OF a
cold wave and crime wave to coincide. II rs
always when the mercury climbs that crime
statistics climb also. There seems to be
strange affinity between lawlessness and cal
orics and this despite the fact that there is
nothing more heating than playing tag with
the police.

the motives for the two Jobs are conceded to
have been. Yet Mr.. Taft now vetoes the bill
which is passed against his recommendation
by Congress. which held the purpose of uu-
doing a prejudiced and partial attitude on the
part OF MIR. Tafts severest critic and most
trenchant enemy. AT the time when he is
either the most hated or the most pitied man

THE BROTHER IN BLACK

Sixty-six colored delegates seem TO be in

shadow OF a name In the States they come
from the Republican party rarely has can
didate They are the mementoes of an ex-
ploded idea, an historic failure to make a
dominant race the servants OF servile peo-
pie.
Not since the palmy d;.ys OF the late seven
ties and the eighties has the negro delegate
experienced the golden Joy OF attendance on
Ia National convention as. he is now experience
ing it, Charges of his purchase by this fac
Etion and by that are flying thick and fast
In all probability. was wont to be the case
of yore, he is selling out to both sides with
nuipe impersonality. No one knows how he
will finally vote-and 1t is probable that he
does not really know himself In the mean
time the negro delegate is lording 1t around
the hotel, the admired OF the politicians, In
dulgng that intimacy with the whites which
/. so tickling to his pride-and looking at the
same time With inbred contempt upon the
gentlemen he slaps on the back.
In old days the negro politician who did
nothing between conventions was a familiar
Southern character. If it we're not SO seri-
GUS matter that the nomination for Presi-
dent should be bought entailing the posi-
Ibility that the sale may involve the very
Presidency itself. we could take sort OF grim
pleasure In contemplating the revival of a
corrupt practice at the expense of an un.
Iscrupulous political plunderband.
