Old Egyptian Perfumes.

Priests In Egypt, who were the sole
depositaries Of science, knew the Sc
cret Of aromatic substances and pre-
pared them themselves. Egyptian
perfumes acquired great celebrity, es'
pecially those made in Alexandria.
Reserved originally for religious rites,
perfumes subsequently became OF cur
rent use among the wealthy classes.
During banquets they were diffused
through the halls and were burnt In
profusion. The Israelites during their
sojourn in Egypt adopted the use OF
aromatic substances primarily for re-
ligious purposes and afterward fol
personal usage. The Greeks, who
loved elegance, were especially ad'
dicted to the use Of perfumes, and
they taught their secrets and usage
to the Romans, who were not content
to use merely the perfumes OF the
orIent-alOes, myrrh, incense and nard
but also made perfumes similar to
those Of the present day-scents OF
lilies, lavender, roses and thyme.

ave In number. They not only hunt In
company, but they ny to certain To-
calIties called "roosts" at nightfall.
These "roosts" show that they have
been used for many years. for the
limbs Of the trees are worn perfectly
smooth by the perching birds. Last
summer | visited such q "roOst" and
counted ESQ vultures. These were
probably birds that had gorged them
selves the day before and were not
hungry enough to leave home. These
vultures seem to spend large part OF
their time IN or about these ''roOsts."
EARLY in the evening they congregate
and in the morning rarely leave before
about 8 o'clock.
In their general feeding habits they
are very similar to the common tur'
key buzzard. Both birds occupy an
important place in the economy OF

birds are buried by beetles. or consum-
ed by the maggots Of our flies. but
large animals could not be disposed OF
by such small scavengers. A dead
horse or COW will be picked clean in q
single day by these vultures.
The turkey buzzard rarely attacks q
living animal, but the black vulture
will often attack young lamb or pig
and kill 1t. Once while In the woods

slipped behind fallen log to watch
their method Of attack. The birds
were standing in a wide circle around
the SOW and her tiny pigs. A bird
would snap at a little pig; the pig
would squeal and the SOW Immediately
charged to that side Of the circle. The
bird would rise out Of the way OF the
onslaught. Then q bird on the oppo'
site side would nip pig. and again
the SOW would charge to its aid. Thus
they worried her until she was almost
exhausted. when l fred my gun and

for they spread over wide areas such
contagious diseases as hog cholera.
The range Of the common turkey buzz
card is from the gulf to the British
possessions. and few birds in migra-
ton might infect vast sections with
hog cholera. ! know from chatting
with the farmers who live near
"roosts" that the moment cholera
comes within twenty-five or thirty
miles. they are sure to become infected
In the course Of few weeks time. The
government. which has protected these
birds for years, should now remove
such protection and allow them to be
shot.
The bird is easily recognized. for the
head is black instead of red. as in the
turkey buzzard. the wings shorter and
rounder, while the tail Is short and
broad. In fight 1t canuot soar as
