What Perfumes Are Made o.

What Perfumes Are Made OF.
There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals, syn
thetically, as the chemists call 1t. 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 1875. Heliotropine follow
ed. being obtained by oxidation Of a
.byproduct of camphor. Terpinol is
one Of the most freely used constit-
uents of perfumes. This is a near
relation of turpentine. With this, q
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 combination Of citrol ian es-
sence extracted from lemon). Indian
vervaine. or lemon verbena, with COM
mon acetoc, substance very like
pyroligneous acid. Most of the cheap
perfumes are limitations. and they are
almost always inferior to the flower
extracts. So It might properly be
said that 1t is wise flower that knows
its own perfume.

Market for Sharks Liver OH.

It has been proposed to start in Ma
laysia a small export trade in sharks
liver oil. This oil Is refined in Eu-
rope and sold as cod liver oil. In Oc-
tober the ocean sharks come into the
lagoon, between the barrier reef and
the atolls, to pair. At this time they
can be speared in large numbers by
people skilled in catching them. There
are several species Of these sharks
and they ordinarily run from seven
to fifteen feet in length. The girth Of
an ordinary shark is the same as its
length, and an eleven-foot shark
would be eleven feet around the body.
The liver Of shark Of this size gives
about five gallons Of oil. The oil
brings $73 ton. The sharks are
found in pairs and the harpooners try
to kill the male first, in which case
they are able to also spear the female,
as it does not desert its mate.

the raw recruit.
"Well," said the general, don't you
know that you are supposed to salute

Reports Are That Babyionlan Tablet
Also Shows That the WIrelsss
Telegraph Was Known.

We think We are great people,
said the retired army ofacer, taking
of his glasses, land we feel that We
are progressing at q tremendous pace,
but here's q newspaper account say
ing that the French government has
unearthed in Babylonia $4,000 tablets,
giving a history in full Of the reign
of the ancient kings. Here we find
for the first time that Babylon. and
not Rome, was the real Mother OF
Laws In those days there was q
system Of courts and Of appeals that
even suggested recall. Sir, this re-
port also states that in the days Of
Nebuchadnezzar they had free rural
delivery Of mail over every highway
in the kingdom. And shades Of
Grover Cleveland!-It has also been
proved beyond q doubt that the Egyp-
tian government in $500 B. c., had
a perfected system Of civil service.
There is a record that the first tur-
bine engine was invented by the
Egyptians, and that Archimedes de-
vised this mechanical contrivance by
which the fields could be watered
when the Nile was low. This is the
same principle that is used to drive
the latest additions to the Cunarders." !"
What shocked the doughty old
American most Of all, says the Ma
tional Magazine, was the informa-
tion that four thousand years ago tho
phonograph was used in ancient
Egypt, and was In reality only per.
fected by Edison in the nineteenth
century. There Is evidence also Of
the use Of wireless telegraphy before
the Christian era. while the Egyp-
tia alphabet has proven to be SCI
entific key to organized human speech.
It is hard blow to our self-sufficiency
to find that the banjo Of the southern
plantation with it's fascinating
"thrum' only echoes the musical IN
struments used by Egyptians in pre-
historic times.

In reviewing Professor Frank Frost

says: 1T should be something Of q
corrective to modern conceit to note
how little we have advanced since
paternalism first became dominant
in Rome and since the Roman govern
ment prided itself on opening public
baths and washhouses for the people.

much reality in ancient Rome as
It Is today"

He "PIayed Rough"

The man who, inspired by the mug

head Of the house by chastising his
wife. is often saved from the indignity
Of the stonepile by the eternal fem
mime. Without the condemning testi-
mony Of the wife the court cannot do
much with him, and, though her an
ger may be such as 20 countenance his
arrest and arraignment, the chances
are about ten to one that at the last
pinch it weakens and fails her, as one
or two stories from the city court will
illustrate.
A woman with badly blackened
eye came before Judge Collins bar for
an adjustment of domestic affairs The
case looked bad anG the judge inti-
mated his intention Of making an "ex-
ample" Of the culprit; but the woman
intcrceded. "Ah, Judge. don't be hard

pleaded; then added by way Of quail

SAFE WAY TO CARRY SKUNKS
John Burroughs 10 Authority for This,
e.: II Any Ono Cares to Try Some
what Rash Experiment.

There ia saying among country
folk that skunk can be safely car.
ried by the tail, saying that some
naturalists deny" says Julian Bur-
roughs, in telling Of his boyhood days
with his father, John Burroughs, in
the Craftsman. Father determined
to try the question for himself, his
courage being equal to the task.
Every time that I caught a skunk
about the house let father have a
try at him. First, we carefully shut
up the dog, much to the latters dis
gust; then the skunk was gently
lifted on pole and dropped into an
empty barrel, the trap being opened
over the edge to liberate him. In a
few minutes, or as soon as the skunk
had become used to the barrel, father
would reach in. clasp him firmly by
his plumelike tail and then raise him
aloft, always being careful net to let
the animal get his front feet on any
near object. This we repeated over
and over without any accident, prov
ing without doubt that the skunks Of
Ulster county. at least, can be safely
carried by their tails"

First Use of AsphaIt,

Asphalt, with which so many roads
are paved, was found by accident.
Many years ago. in Switzerland, nat
ural rock asphalt was discovered. ant
for more than century it was used
for the purpose Of extracting the rich
stores of bitumen it contained. In
time it was noticed that pieces os66ck
which fell from the wagons srd were
crushed by the wheels fog&ed'a mar
velously fine road surface when lS-
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.
