t ws? S JaWtET-SCENrED NOTES. A Ulanee Into Home of th ttocreta of tha Perfuinar'a Art. Tha export of find perfumery Is prln rlpally from Graaso, Nice, Cannes and Bremen. The business Is divided into two parts. The manufacturer extracts from the flowers their essential oils. The perfumer buys these oils, pomade" and. extracts, and compounds them in several ways. Only about a dozen of ail the fragrant flowers in the world are used in the manufacture of per fumery, via.: The violet, rose, orange flower, jasmine, tuberose, cassia, laven der, thyme, rosemary, geraniums, jou quil and fennel. The rose and the orange are the most valuable. Of the numerous varieties of the rose, only one is used the Provence rose, siugle, pale, pink, the most sweet smelling of roses; not hardy. Picking for per fumery occurs in almost every month f the. year. It is a paradoxical fact in the busi ness that the bitter orange yields the best blossoms for perfumary. One ton of blossoms yields two pounds eight ounces of oil neroll. The frulUof the bitter orange yields a very fine essen tial oil, bigarade. It is used in many scents. The orange tree, cultivated for its oil, lasts, with care, over two hundred years. One ton of the distilled leaves of the scented verbena geranium yields from twenty four to thirty ounces of the essential oil. The flowers of the jasmine are picked just after sunset in July, and in the morning, as soon as the dew is off, in August The jasmine is a peculiarly delicate flower. Its essential oil is so volatile that it can not bo extracted by distillation, tho heated water decom posing it so that only a faint tinge of the perfume is left in the water that passes through the refrigerant. Like , the jasmine, tho oil of the tuberose can not be extracted by distillation. The perfume of the cassia is much used in compounds. The process of manufacturing perfumes is in itself very interesting, especially to the ladies. A ton of roses yields only two ounces of the attar, ottar or otto. If kept at a temperature below 60 attar crystallizes; if kept open to the air and light it Is easily volatilized. Perfumed oils are made by putting fresh quanti ties of flowers into the finest of virgin olive oil, from twenty to thirty differ ent times. The essential oil of flowers has a strong affinity to lard or grease. The latter, rendered as white as snow, is perfectly saturated with the flowers. The process is repeated many times. In this way we have pomade of rose, orange, cassia and violet The affinity of the perfume of flowers for alcohol is, however, stronger than that for grease. Pomades, immersed in alcohol, are ren dered into extracts, the grease leaving the perfume. Troy (N. Y.) Times. THE NAVY IN WHITE. American War ThmIi to Hto a Color AU Their Own. The vessels of the United States navy are hereafter to be painted white. The order was received at the Brooklyn Jfavy Yard, and every one who heard the news was delighted to think that at last the American navy was to have a distinct color of its own. The cause of tho order has been the satisfaction arising from painting the Boston and Yorktown white. The new order reads in substance that in future when iron and steel vessel are to be painted the hull above the water line on the outside and all paint work on the Inside shall be painted white. The masts, yards, head, booms, doublings of masts, and funnels shall be painted straw-yellow color, the paint for which is to be prepared by the Bureau of Construction and liepnir. Witn a view to economy the other vessels of the new navy not now painted white will not be painted until their present coat of black becomes shabby. It has been found that iron and steel vessels when painted black have been unnecessarily hot, and to do away with this discomfort as well as to improve the looks of the vessel white has been decided upon as the color for the navy. Especially is this color considered a serviceable one when cruisers are doing duty in tropical climates. The coat of whito will do much to prevent the ab sorption of heat tli at these vessels are liable to, and thereby greatly Increase the comfort of otiicers and crew and Improve the sanitary condition of lbs vessel. N. Y. Times. ; . J ' ' Bullfrogs as Bird-E;aJ ;rs. Once while out after snipe, not far from Montreal, Canada, with Mr. Frank Livingston, a well known sports man of Toronto, we suddenly came upon a spot where some dozen birds or so were scattered about feeding. Mo tioning to Frank to get ready, we both raised our guns and fired simultaneous ly, Frank killing two and myself one. My snipe was knocked over into the water and what was my surprise when, on reaching the bank to secure him, I saw &n enormous bullfrog shoot sud denly from the water, seize my game and make off with it under my very nose. To say I was flabbergasted or thunderstruck would be a mild way of expressing astonishment at the au dacity of this marine robber, but rais ing my gun uuu uutiug rapm aim X led him have a charge of No. 8, which effectually stopped him In his plunder ing career. Ho hud Bwallaweu whole the legs, body and all but the head of a snipe one-half the size of himself. while returning one summer afternoon from beach bird shooting on tho shores of Long Island, a companion shot a bnuk swallow, which fell on the margin of a pool on the salt meadows. On going to fish it up It could not be found, but in the water nt the edge of tlte pool was seen the head of a huge bull frog, and from Its mouth projected, like two horns, the tips of the swallow's wings, Forest and Stream. GOING HOME. flow Groat Thlnira CI row Lltllfl In iror Bight aa W Grow Older. Reader, if you ever left homo and went to a great city to seek fortune and fame, or lodging at police headquarters, then come home on a visit after a year jr two, did you notico how low the houses once so tall in your eyes ap peared? When fifteen I went forth in the world and found myself at the end of the second day four hundred miles from home in a larger city than I had ever seen. I was soon familiar with its firincipal points of interest, and only aek of funds with which to purchase postage stamps kept me from deluging my school-mates in Illinois witn glow ing account of my wonderful adven tures and my hair-breadth escapes. I remember the nrst time the hre de partment was called out after my ad vent in the city. It was before lire ex tinguishing hiid become a profession as it is to-day, and the limn department was a volunteer affair, which hauled tho old "Seneca Chief steamer bv hand. and ran a hook-and-laddcr truck and hand engine by the samcmotivo power. I was struck with tho apparent melli ciency of the outfit, and yearned to right the numerous errors I thought 1 detect ed in mim ing Tenner's barn to ashes. If there is nn thing a boy with the ac cumulated wSmIoiu of lifieen long and weary years raukling in his bosom, can detect better than another it is an error in some great enterprise like burning a house or bam, anil he is not slow in righting the great wrong to tho best of his ability. I thought the fellow that held the helm of the hook-and-ladder tnick did not understand his .business, so I walked up to him and seized one horn of the dilemma. I never exactly knew whether I fainted, suffered a stroke of paralysis or was kicked by a mule, but when I recovered from my teiiixr ary indisposition I was lying on my back in the mud, and one of my eyes hail lost its cunning. It was in mourning nearly two weeks after that Ever since that occurrence, I have known more about the line of policy pursued by accomplished firemen than I ever knew before. I believe I learned about as much concerning fires on that occasion as I ever care to know, for 1 wandered around after rising from the reene of my downfall, until I collided with a somewhat persistent stream oi water . that the hoseman evidently thought useless for any purpose except lo extinguish the ardor of over-smart boys. I have since observed that all well regulated fire departments have an engine for that express purpose. A fire bas no charms for a first-class fireman, i there is a boy with ideas far in ad ranee of his years in the crowd of by itanders. I have seen a whole depart ment of firemen let thousands of dollars mm to ashes right in front of them, vhile engaged in dampening the irre versible ardor of youth. In my opin ion it is the duty of every city to pass ordinances prohibiting boys "from run ning to tires, in order that firemen may liave time to throw a little water on the fire. With all my inexperience and ad vanced ideas, Tsurvived the shocks and rebuffs of an unappreciative world and was spared to return to my home, re storing light, life and comfort to tho languishing household. When the train pulled into my father's post-office ad dressthat is about all there was of my native village I was surprised at the lowness of the two-story brick house that constituted its business district. I had though it the very impersonation of architectural altitude in the good old days, but on my return it teemed a very small affair. So it was with the hopes of high posi tion among my old school-mates, which I had builded seven or eight stories high before I came home. I found that all that remained of them was the base ment, and instead of looking up to me, as I had fondly anticipated, they slapped me on the back in the old familiar way, and when I resented such famili arity they 6aid . I was stuck up and they were right Through Mail. Resin, as used In the manufacture of building paper, is being largely re placed by a petroleum product called "still wax" or "wax tailings." This substance has soveral important ad vantages over resin, such as non liability to oxidize, toughening, in stead of growing brittle, with ago, slow combustion, and rapid melting at 200 Fahrenheit, in which state it combines perfectly with resin, asphal- tum and warm oil. Mrs. Cleveland nad two very beautiful orange and lemon trees while in tho White House, and courteously left them to Mrs. Harrison on her de parture. General Ben Butler, who was asked to reply to the question, "Should women propose?" declined an answer on the plea that he was "past having any interest in it." She should wait "I tell von once for all not to bother mo nay more. I will never consent to he your wite, ' exclaimed Miss Esmeralda Longeollln to Kosciusko Murphy, an Austin tluilo. "Hold up now, and wait till 1 got my now dovecolor d pants from the tailor. I guess you will sorter cliuugo .your mind then. Great Scott! how beautiful tlios'! pants tit, and how they match my complexion," exclaimed Murphy. iexds bijttngs. He began telling her of his love In impassioned tones, when suddenly her face became perfectly expressionless, her eves assumed ft faraway, whlthor-sm-I-drilting look, mid all interest in life teemed departed.

In 1816 it took just one bushel of corn to buy one pound of nails, now one bushel of corn will buy ten pounds of nails. Then it required sixty-four bushels of barley to buy one yard of broadcloth; now the same amount of barloy will pay for twenty yards of broadcloth. It thon required the price of one bushel of wheat to pay for one yard of calico, now ono bushel of wheat will buy twenty yards of calico. Oregonian Railway Co. Luteal Line. G. M. SCOTT, Receiver.
