REPUBLICAN APATHY.

An analysis Of the primary election
returns reveal a remarkable situation
Owing to the bitter and sensational
fight between Roosevelt and Taft
for the republican nomination, it
would seem that a full party vote
would be polled In such states as
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Ohio, which was the battle
ground of the contest. But accord
ing to a careful tabulation Of the
votes in these states considerably
less than oneIhalf Of the republicans
evinced sufficient interest in the
outcome to even take the trouble to
go to the polls. The returns from
Pennsylvania showed that only 81
per cent of the republican voters
went to the primaries at all. So also

NOT DRAWN FROM FLOWERS
Perfumes Today Are Extracted From
Almost Everything but Seemingly
Natural Source.

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals.
synthetically, as the chemists call it.
Formerly all perfumes were extracted
from flowers, fruits, spices, woods or
other vegetable and animal sub
stances. The first perfume to be imi.
tated was vanilla, in 1876. Heliotropine
followed, but obtained by oxidation
OF by-product Of camphor.
Terpinol is one of the most freely
used constituents OF perfumes. This is
near relation of turpentine. With
this a little oil and aquafortis a chem
list can produce perfume that can
scarcely be distinguished from those
exhaled by the lily Of the valley, lilac
and Cape Jessamine, varying accord
ing to the proportions in which the
chemicals are blended.
Artificial violet is a combination OF
citrol ian essence extracted from lem.
on), Indian vervaine, or lemon YER
bena. with common acetone, a sub
stance very like pyroligneous acid.
No chemist has been able to coun-
terfeit musk, but a synthetic perfume
called musk is made from toluene a
by-product Of benzine and coal tar.
This is changed to a complex car
buret, treated with azotic and sui
phuric acids, is diluted and sold as
musk.
Most Of the cheap perfumes are i'm.
itations and they are almost always
Inferior to the flower extracts. So 1t
might properly be said that 1t is q
wise flower that knows its own per.

600 HENS IN Eee.LAYINe RACE.

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside a year-lOng egg
laying contest Is now going forward
at the Connecticut agricultural col
iege at Storrs, Conn. Every breed
and variety Is represented. When
the contest is over, five or six hun
dred birds with records will leave
Storrs to be bred from. 1t is believ.
ed that the data produced by this
contest may help raise the present
average of seventy eggs per year per
hen in this country somewhat nearer
the coveted two hundred per year an6
thus affect favorably the cost of liv-
ing.
This is the first egg-laying contest
ever held in this country and is in
ter-national in character, there being
entries from many different countries
The hens are housed in a new plant
built by the college, consisting of fff-
y specially designed houses, two
pens to house. During the first
nineteen weeks of the contest 1850
eggs were laid. A part of the article
follows:
1.-THE nineteenth week of the egg
laying contest ended with the Eng
lsh pen Of White Leghorns, leaders
since the first. still In the lead with
a total Of 1863 eggs, an average of 10
S'ls. They are improving their aver
age and holding their lead we'll. The
second pen is one Of Rhode Island
Reds belonging to E. S. Edgerton,
West WiiiihetOl, Conn, with total
Of S15 eggs.
AS breed. the White Leghoms
are getting into the game again, and
DO are the Barred Rocks. Orping.
tons and Rhode Island Reds are still
q little ahead in proportion to the
number Of entries. but the other two
breeds are coming along well.
THE surprise of the week was the
sudden squirt Of the Dark Cornish In
dian Games, with a total for the weel
OF 80 out Of a possible 35 eggs. These
belong to John W. Ward, Jr., Pen
nington, New jersey.
1.-TWO thousand one hundred and
torty-eight eggs were laid by the 400
birds for the week."

THOUGHT HIS TIME HAD COME
Imagination Truly 10 q Wonderful
Thing, az Kansas Man 10 Likely
to Admit.

Every summer John Fisher, a Lib
erty grocer, and Frank Cockrell, a re-
tired farmer, maintain a camp at the
mouth Of Shoal creek on the Missouri
river, about Is miles below Kansas
City and four miles south of Liberty.
Last summer they were entertain
ing, among others. J. D. Taylor, q
farmer Of near Manola, about IS miles
northwest Of Alberta, Canada. The
hosts and their guestst were grouped
around a small camp fire, scantily at
tired and partaking of fried catfish
with relish, when Taylor grabbed at
his leg and arose to his feet with q
bowl that sounded like the siren Of
the Gunter.
I'm goner, boys" he groaned, as
he hoped around on one leg, grip
ping the other powerfully with both
hands and imploring someone between
whiles to get a club and get busy.
Ineres q snake In my pants leg as
big as my arm and it's squeezing and
biting me to death"
Fischer grabbed one side of the
trouser leg in question and Cockrell
the other and they ripped with right
good will, but no snake appeared.
When Taylor was sans pants, how.
ever, they took the remnant from his
hands, and closely merged with the
interior was found the stringy remains
of small frog.
And that's what imagination will
do for you" said Taylor, as he hunted
up a box and climbed upon 1t tailor
fashion to finish his interrupted ses-
sion with the fish.-Kansas City Jour.

Two kinds Of cars on the market
this year, both of which types should
receive your careful consideration.
One has been slowly developed
from the models of years ago 1t has
been improved as improvements
have been made in motor a design
ing. The valves have been enclosed.
Se~lf-starters have been added: cleo
trio lights included; upholstering
made deeper; probably the wheel
base heightened. But usually the
car is as it was with all of the value
and many OF the shortcomings of the
cars Of earlier date.
ACHIEVEMENTS have been brought to
a high degree in cars of that type.
They give good satisfaction. They
are dependable up to a certain point.
But they lack many of the things
that have been learned in motor car
building because it has been impossi-
bic to incorporate all of the new
ideas into the design OF other cars.

The other type of car is the one
that has been designed with a defn-

Yet the HUDSON "37" is as fully

reason that HUDSON cars are fully
