PERFUMES FROM CHEMICALS

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals.

Formerly all perfumes were extract
ed from flowers, fruits. spices. woods
or other vegetables and animal sub
stances. The first perfume to be i'm
itated was vanilla, In 1876. Hello
tropine followed, being obtained by OK
idation of a byproduct Of eamphor.
Terpinol is one of the most freely
used constituents of perfumes. This

the cheap perfumes are limitations,

properly be said that it is a wise flow

BLESSING THE RIVER JORDAN

or the numerous religious ceremo-
MES which may be witnessed in tho
Holy Land none, perhaps, is so pic
tUresque and impressive as the Greek
ceremony of the blessing OF the Jor-
dan, which takes place at Epiphany
The spot selected for the blessing IS
that known the the Pilgrims ford.
where, it is said, Christ was baptized.
Hundreds of pilgrims crowded the
western bank of the sacred stream,
where tents and dressing sheds are
erected for their convenience. AT the
appointed hour the archbishop of the
Jordan, with his attendant priests and
deacons, all gorgeously appareled, ap-
pear in the stream in their frail craft,
from which the service is conducted.
This consists in the reading of the
Scriptures having reference to the
baptism of, Christ, followed by appro-
pirate prayers. Then, as the bishop
drops the cross into the water and
the blessing is pronounced, great
shout rends the air and hundreds Of
men and women, clad in white robes,
plunge into the sacred stream.

365 pounds. At the expiration of the
thirty-first year the strength begins
to decline, very gradually at first. BY
the fortieth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds, and such diminution
continues at a slightly increasing rate
until the fiftieth year is reached,
when the figure is $50 pounds. Sub
sequent to this period the strength
fails more and more rapidly, until the
weakness of old age is reached. 1t Is
found impossible to obtain trust

SNOW GHOSTS OF GERMANY

The snow ghosts of the Giant noun
tains sounds like the title of fairy
tale for the children. The Giant noun
tains, however, are very real, being to
Germany almost what the Alps are to
Switzerland, for they are thronged
annually with winter visitors to en-
joy the shedding and the beautiful
scenery. A renowned feature of these
mountains is the singular adhesion Of
snow and ice to all exposed objects,
due to the peculiar conditions of the
climate. The most bizarre formations
are produced, the original objects be-
ing so coated and enveloped with
snow and ice as to be unrecognizable
Thus the fir trees which cover the
mountain sides resemble, especially
in the moonlight, groups of great
white ghosts, many OF them actually
or in fancy taking on weird human
formations and even expressions OF
countenance. A great business is
made in the Giant mountains of
horned shedding, as it is called. yisi-
tors are piloted up to the tops of the
courses, from which they slide down
in special horned sleighs.

HUMAN HAIR NETS.

The annual sale of nets of human

American consul at Kehl, is estimated
at 12,000.000
Hair-nets are made almost wholly
in the houses of Alsatian and Austrian
peasants; the peculiar skill required
to net hair has become in part heredi-
tary.

ing testimony in the damage suit of
Miss Mildred Lynch, aged 16 years, of
778 Mt. Prospect avenue, who is suing
the Public Service Railway Com
pany for $4,000, visited the scene of
the accident today accompanied by
court attendants.
The accident, which resulted in a
broken leg for Miss Lynch, happened
at Mt. Prospect and Montclair ave-
nues on January 7, 1910, as Miss
Lynch, with a number of companions,
were coasting down Montelair avenue
from Ridge to Summer avenues. 1t
is alleged that Mt. Prospect avenue
trolley car failed to stop before cross
ing Montclair avenue, though signaled
to do so by policeman stationed
there to safeguard the coasters.
The bob-sled and car came into
collision and Miss Lynch sustained
injuries that she claims has caused
permanent shortening of the right
leg.
