Homemade Perfumes.

Perhaps you, happy pOssessOr of a
yard with many little paths, flower
decked on either side. would like to
make your own perfume, your own
tinctures? It's very simple! And quite
pleasing are the results of home
effort!
Geranium perfume is so easy to
make. Take the leaves of your sweet
smelling geranium, quantities of them,
and pack them quite closely into a
glass fruit jar. Then fill it with
alcohol and put it away to draw new
strength for several weeks after which
you will squeeze out the leaves, strain
the liquid and put it in small bottles
tightly corked
You can make various kinds of tine
lures in this way-tuberOse, jasmine,
heliotrope. With these, however, use
the fresh blossoms instead of the
leaves
If the odor isn't sufficiently strong
after the separation of the blossoms
and liquid put more blossoms in and
let the mixture remain several days
or a week longer. Then squeeze the
flowers out and strain again.

Novel Idea for Player Piano.

novel attachment for player pianos
Is to be pictured series of grotesque
animals and human heads, which APP
pear to open their mouths when the
keys of the instrument are depressed.
The heads form a panel along one
face of a patented box containing a
music roll. When the box is laid along
the white keys the funny faces are
flush with the front edge of the latter,
and inasmuch as the lower jaws are
omitted, the animals and queer peo-
pie seem to be opening and shutting
their mouths with the fall and rise of
the keys. Just nonsense business, of
course, but amusing. The box, it
should be said, is made just wide
enough to fit in front of the black
keys and lie fiat on the white ones.-

HORSE HAS PLACE OF HONOR
Body of Only Survivor of Custer
Massacre is Preserved in Mu-
scum of Kansas University.

The place of honor in the natural
history museum of the University of
Kansas is held by Old COmanche, an
Indian pony. In a glass case in the
center of the museum stands all that
is mortal or immortal of a horse that
has a unique place in the history of
the country. Old Comanche never
won a race, belonged to no certain
breed, was of no celebrated ancestry.
Old Comanche was the only living
thing that survived the Custer mas
Sacre of the Little Big Horn fight of
June %. 1876. After the battle, after
the terrible massacre of Clusters troop
OF soldiers, the relief expedition which
arrived the morning following the
massacre, found a saddled and bridled
pony, wounded but able to walk,
grazing on the buffalo grass near
the scene. A tradition says that
the pony wandered across the prairies
and found his way into a camp of
United States cavalry. But the war
record of Old Comanche states that
he was found at the scene of the mas
sacre eating grass and keeping faith
full vigil over the bodies of the sol
dierS and the horses that lay piled
about him, the victims of the bloody
fight that has been immOrtalized by
American historians
Old Comanche never had rider
after the massacre. In the fight his
rider was Capt Miles w. Keogh
Troop |, Seventh cavalry After the
recovery of Old COmanche an order
was issued that he should never have
another rider, but that in every parade
or public appearance of the Seventh
cavalry, Old COmanche should be led,
riderless, properly draped in mourning,
and with the cOlOrS. This order was
carried out to Old Comanche's death,
which occurred in 1892. In 1888 he
was brought from Fort Meade to Fort
Riley. AT the death of Old Comanche
the late DR.. L. L. Dyche, for years at
the head of the X. Z. museum, was
asked to mount the horse and pre-
serve it for the regiment. But the
regiment had no money and the War
| department, unmOved by sentiment
| pertaining to a mere fiea-bitten pony,
