During the war in the Philippines
General Charles King. one day while
resplendent in his uniform, which was
made especially brilliant by several
rows of new brass buttons. came up
on a raw recruit. The latter was on

BLINDNESS MADE THEM KIN
Joseph Pulitzer Could Feel for
Favorlte Animal Afflicted as
He Himself Was.

The late Joseph Pulitzer's years Of
blindness gave him deep sympathy
for any creature similarly afflicted.
For years he had saddle horse
named Mac. of which he was very
fond. When he went abroad, Mac
went along. too. and came to know
Rotten Row and Hyde Park corner.
Inter den Linden and the Bots de
Boulogne as well as the bride paths
of Central park and Riverside drive.
The horse made at least q dozen
transatlantic voyages with its master.
What is the matter with Mac-he
seems to go strangely" asked Mr..
Pulitzer one morning when he was
riding with his secretary In Central
park. The horse was not so sure
footed as II had been before. and Mr..
Pulitzer, whose other senses were the
keener because of his blindness, was
quick to notice it.
Investigation showed that the horse
was going blind His master had ac-
cidentally licked Mac in the eye with
the leather Of his riding stock some
time before. and he was deeply af-
fected when he learned the cause.
Poor Mac! Poor Mac! To think
that / should have been the cause Of
his blindness!" mourned Mr.. Pulitzer.
He had the horse sent abroad to a
farm near Nice. where he might end
his days happily In knee-high mead
ows. under the azure skies of south
ern France.-Youth's Companion.

What Perfumes Are Made OF.

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals, syn
thetically, as the chemists call it, For.
merly all perfumes were extracted
from flowers. fruits. spices. woods, or
other vegetable and animal substances
The first perfume to be initiated was
vanilla, in 1876. Heliotropins follow
ed. being obtained by oxidation of q
byprOduct of camphor. Terpinol ie
one of the most freely used constit,
uents OF perfumes. This is q near
relation of turpentine. With this a
little OIL and aqua fortis a chemist
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 vio-
let is a combination Of citrol Gan es,
sence extracted from lemon). Indian
vervaine. or lemon verbena, with COM
mon acetoe, a substance very like
pyroligneous acid. Most of the cheap
perfumes are limitations and they are
almost always inferior to the flower
extracts. So II might properly be
said that II is wise flower that knows
its own perfume.

In Simple Language.

Beware Of the habit of using big
words. Like other habits, it grows
upon it's victim, A horrible example
is instanced by the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.
The superintendent of Sunday
school in Philadelphia recently called
upon visitor to SAY few words
to the school, the members of which
are mostly children of tender age.
The visitor, a speaker well known
for his verbose and circumlocutory
manner of speech. began his address
as follows:
This morning. children, l purpose
to offer you an epitome Of the life OF
Saint Paul. II may be, perhaps. that
there are among you some too young
to grasp the meaning of the word
'epitome.' Epitome,' children, Is in
its Specification synonymous with
synopsis"

First Use Of AsphsIt.

Asphalt, with which so many roads
are paved. was found by accident
Many years ago. In Switzerland. nat
ural rock asphalt was discovered. and
for more than a century It was used
for the purpose of extracting the rich
stores of bitumen 1t contained. In
time II was noticed that pieces OF rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed mar
velously fine road surface when a.
sisted by the heat of the sun. A prop
er road of asphalt rock was then
made, following upon the discovery,
and In 1854 an experimental roadway
was laid In Paris. From that time the
use Of rock asphalt for the making OF
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries,
