means of Mteaiii. which Is compelled to
penetrate the closely packed lavender,
afterward being drawn off In pIpfH
that run through cold water, in thin
manner the steam In reconverted Into
water, but the proves of piiNHlng
through the lavender hint extracted the
oil, which flouts on the Murface of the
water an It runs Into glass Jars down
below, 'i'hesu jars have Hproum III the
center, thus enabling the water to run
out while the oil collcctH above the
level of the exit. lu tills the firm
stage the oil Is of a brownish blue
tint, and It now Iiiim to bo re lined by

Thus all luipiirltlcii are removed, and

pale blue color sliullur.to that observed
In paralllu. Three pounds of oil will
make thirty gallons of the perfume.

bottle of lavender water contains bu:

larger proportion would not only ren

The Poor Bridegroom.
Even tbe Kngllsh language empha
sizes the luslgulllcuuce of a man at bis
own wedding," said tbe prospective
bridegroom disconsolately. There Isn't
an Independent word to designate him.
lie Is merely called the groom of tbe
bride, ns If lie were Just ubout on a
level with tbe bridesmaids and a lit-1
tie below the maid of honor. Best
mnn, of course, means the bridegroom's
best man. but the phrase Itself tends to
exalt '.his Individual at tbe expense of
bis uperlor.
"Theu there's no adjective to de
scribe what pertains to the male half
of the affair. You cun't speak of the
brl(legr(M;iiiai' trousers or necktie. On
the oilier hand, 'bridal' applies not only
to the possessions of the girl, but to
what relates to both of them equally,
like the trip and the bridal chamber.
Xhc very words 'matrimony' and 'mat
rimonial' are from the feminine side
only. 'Patrimony' has nothing to do
with the nuptials. It applies only to
weniiu and Kigiiiucs mai a man s pun
In the iifrnlr Is to get out and bustle
for tbe cash." Philadelphia Ledger.
How Standing Armies Originated.
The earliest European standing army
was that of Macedonia, established
about 3CS II. C. by Philip, futjier of
Alexander the Ureal. It was the sec
ond in the world's history, having been
preceded only by that of- Sesotrls Pha
raoh of ICgypt, who organized a mili
tary caste about 1W0 It. U. Of mod
ern standing armies, that formed by
the Turkish Janizaries was Urst. being
fully organized in lot"-'. It was a cen
tury later that the standing army of
France, the earliest In western Europe,
was established by Charles VII. In the
shape of "cotnpugnlcs d'ordonnnnce,"
numbering P.ootj men. Itlvnlry there
upon compelled the nations to adopt
similar means of defense. In Eng
land a standing army proper was tlrst
established by Cromwell, but was dis
banded under Charles II.. with tbe ex
ception of a few regiments called the
guards, or household brigade. This
was the nucleus of England's present
A Girl'o Preparedness.
Thero is something very pitiful about
n girl. She wears calico, but talks
knowingly about fie latest styles In
silks. Her home Is furnished plainly,
but she knows the latest styles In
furniture; she kuofrs how the silver
ware .should be arranged at dinners,
the latest stitch for the marking of
monograms on the llnest table, dam
ask, the ethpiette to be observed at a
dinner, a reception or a ball, although
she never attended anything more
than a neighborhood pnrty In her life.
Her father's monthly Income is not ns
large as the pin money n rich girl
would spend in a day. but she knows
what the rich girl should wear und
bny to tw In touch with the times.

Snuff Spoons.
All tbe world Is familiar with snuff
boxes, but muff spoons are pretty lit

they came Into use about two years
after Sir George Hooke's expedition to
Vigo bay In 1702. wben be captured

0ne of (he characters In a comedy
published at Oxford in 1704. entitled
"An Act at Oxford. by Thomas
Baker, says, "But 1 carry sweet Bnuff
for the ladles." to which Arabella re
plies: "A spoon too. That's very gal
lant, for to see some people run their
fat fingers Into a box Is as nauseous
s eating without a fork."
In the forties and fifties of the last
;cntury snutT spoons were still In use
on the Scottish border. They were of
bone and of a size to go Into the snuff
box. People fed their noses. It was
said, ns naturally as they carried soup
to their mouths. As late as 1877 a

Do You Know
THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE is a

THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE is CO

THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE has

over ji8.'!(i,0(lfl,00(l J
THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE is
transacting business for its members
at a Inner cost than anv other Arcr-

HAT this enables THE MUTUAL
. ,
LIFE to distribute to its members
"v,,r $11,000,000 in cash dividends
this year, 1900 a larger amount than
was ever paid by any company in
one venr?
THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE now
holds, and hns previously paid, over
$12.1,000,000 more to its members
than has been paid by them? Un
efunled bv any company.
THAT THE MUTUAL LIFE'S as
sets of over $539,000,000 and its sur
plus fund of over $87,000,000,' all
belonging mutually to its members,
make it the strongest financial insti

THAT some of its policies will ex
actly suit the conditions that sur
round yon?
THAT profits of stock companies
go to swell the profits of stockhold

deceived. There is no stock in THE
MUTUAL LIFE to be counted as an
asset instead of a liability.

DO YOU KXOW the difference beT
tween a stock company, or a stock
mutual company, and a purely mu

TIIATj new companies are an ex

Can you afford to burden future
years with such risk or uncertainty?
There is no uncertainty about THE
MUTUAL LIFE now or in the future.
DON'T YOU think it wise to nseor
tain why THE MUTUAL LIFE ex
pends only 8.39 per cent while some

larger a percentage of their income;
