Tbe custom of doing rectory work at borne still prevails in Germany, and whole families engage in tbe work. It is claimed that up- wards of 350,000 German children are em. ployed in spinning, weaving bead-work, knitting, sewing and needlework. Even tbe 3 year-old child bas bis share. In Mexico tbe last year eold was produced to tbe value of $12,000,000, silver, more than $80,000,000, and copper $23,000,000. The tulip is tbe emblem of Hungarian and anti-Austrian sentiment.

Late frosts in certain of the wine-growing districts of France have caosed a loss to tbe vintage of 25. 30 and in some cases 60 per cent.

Germany uses 70,000 pounds of sheep gut ancnally in tbe manufacture of strings for musical instruments.

In Belgium they call fire-damp tbe arm of a powerful spirit, and tbe appearance of a white bat is one of tbe signs wbicb miners believe presage the occurrence of mine ex- plosions. In Germany tbe cartel bas involved every important branch of the industrial and com- mercial world to such an extent that a memorial on tbe subject has been presented to tbe Reichtag for tbe purpose of investiga- tion.

Three villages of Christians in Turkish territory having been burned and pillaged, tbe inhabitants attacked and routed tbe MuBSalmans, killing 15 and wounding 23, with trifling loss. In Northern Michigan a hundred square miles of territory were devastated by forest fires May 20. Several towns were wiped out and thousands of people made homeless, the money loss amounting to several millions. Following tbe concessions gained from tbeir employers by tbe nptown Funeral Drivers' Union in New York, a strike was orde-ed for men working in liveries below 14th Street.

Tbe enemy is in great confusion and this is tbe instant to attack, sir! tbe dusty and breathless aide reported. I can't help it, tbe great general replied. I bave just received a message from tbe re- porters and moving picture men, stating tbat they had been delayed and wouldn't arrive for two boors yet. Tell me, what do you call this dried-np, dreary, ornery, low-down place? That's near enough, stranger, replied tbe native, in a melancholy voice. Let it go at that In Germany the making of perfumes has become one of the most important and suc- cessful industries in the world. Leipzig bas tbe largest factories, other important ones being at Berlin, Carlarube and Hamburg. Forty varieties of native plants yielding essential oils are used, wbile many products are imported, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, camphor, balsams, pepper, musk, amber- gris, etc. With fresh flowers the distillation takes place as near tbe place of picking as possi- ble, tbe freshness adding greatly to the quality. Tbe stills contain about 3,300 pounds of Rowers, and water in the required quantity. Great care bas to be taken as to the amount of beat supplied and to its regu- larity. The production of essential oil is expensive tanging from $227 per pound downward, according to the scarcity of oil in the plant. In the "fat" process the flowers are sorted and the chlorophyll glands broken. Tbey are then placed in slightly warmed fat and stirred gently for some hoars, which the mixture is separated in centrifugal machines, so tbat the fat may be used again with fresh flowers, until it is thoroughly saturated with perfume. A layer of cold fat is then placed on glass plates and covered with flowers; these are stacked together in crates and left for thirty days, doling which theflowersare changed every day. The next step istocnt the fat in strings and place them on wire- web frames, which are placed alternately with metal sheets covered witb flowers in a press sad subjected to a slight current o air. The utmost care bas to be taken in al these operations that the result may be para perfume, without any scent of the fibres which contained hV The oils are packed in iron containers lined with sine. For good perfumes only the best alcohol is used, but cheap qualities are often made with vinegar and water as tbe result costs little and lingers indefinitely, to the joy of noses to that manner born.

The first English daily paper waa pub- lished just two hundred years ago, in Lon- don at the King's Arms Tavern, Fleetbridge. It was called the Courant and consisted of a single sheet, the sine of a half sheet foolscap and was printed only on one side. There were no editorials and no advertisements. Tbe Paris papers were tbe chief source of "copy" and credit was always given, as tbe Courant definitely stated, 'for an assurance that we will not, under pretense of having private intelligence, impose any addition of feigned circumstances to an action." Which was only the journal's off-band way of affirming its disinclination to tell lies or crib, book or cabbage the sayings of others. The Courant soon began to print advertisements, one of the first being the announcement of the iseue of a new book called "A Modest Inquiry Concerning the Opinion of Guardian Angels."

And the stow tramp, tramp of the soldier* Sounded along the street.

The slow tramp, tramp of the soldier*. And a burdon between they bore,

A brother whose work was over, Whom battle could call no more.

Crowned and sceptered and knightly. The flag draped under his head—

The flai; he had loved and died for. My King, on his kingly head.

Tbe sun burst forth from its fetter* And flooded the room with light,

It touched his hasr like a halo. The fair, proud face was bright.

I looked and smiled, ab country : No tears for a death like this,

My Kins was not so kinnly When he gave that parting kiss.

Ah ! who should weep for my soldier. For 1 have no tears to give ;

He died, dear God ! for the country. And I would not have him live.

Tbe enemy is in great confusion and this is tbe instant to attack, sir! tbe dusty and breathless aide reported.

I can't help it, tbe great general replied. I bave just received a message from tbe re­porters and moving picture men, stating tbat they had been delayed and wouldn't arrive for two boors yet.

Tell me, what do you call this dried-np, dreary, ornery, low-down place?

That's near enough, stranger, replied tbe native, in a melancholy voice. Let it go at that

In Germany the making of perfumes has become one of the most important and suc­cessful industries in the world. Leipzig bas tbe largest factories, other important ones being at Berlin, Carlarube and Hamburg. Forty varieties of native plants yielding essential oils are used, wbile many products are imported, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, camphor, balsams, pepper, musk, amber­gris, etc.

With fresh flowers the distillation takes place as near tbe place of picking as possi­ble, tbe freshness adding greatly to the quality. Tbe stills contain about 3,300 pounds of Rowers, and water in the required quantity. Great care bas to be taken as to the amount of beat supplied and to its regu­larity. The production of essential oil is expensive tanging from $227 per pound downward, according to the scarcity of oil in the plant.

In the "fat" process the flowers are sorted and the chlorophyll glands broken. Tbey are then placed in slightly warmed fat and stirred gently for some hoars, which the mixture is separated in centrifugal machines, so tbat the fat may be used again with fresh flowers, until it is thoroughly saturated with perfume. A layer of cold fat is then placed on glass plates and covered with flowers; these are stacked together in crates and left for thirty days, doling which the flowers are changed every day. The next step is to cnt the fat in strings and place them on wire-web frames, which are placed alternately with metal sheets covered witb flowers in a press sad subjected to a slight current o air. The utmost care bas to be taken in al these operations that the result may be para perfume, without any scent of the fibres which contained hV

The oils are packed in iron containers lined with sine. For good perfumes only the best alcohol is used, but cheap qualities are often made with vinegar and water as tbe result costs little and lingers indefinitely, to the joy of noses to that manner born.

The first English daily paper waa pub­lished just two hundred years ago, in Lon­don at the King's Arms Tavern, Fleetbridge. It was called the Courant and consisted of a single sheet, the sine of a half sheet foolscap and was printed only on one side. There were no editorials and no advertisements. Tbe Paris papers were tbe chief source of "copy" and credit was always given, as tbe Courant definitely stated, 'for an assurance that we will not, under pretense of having private intelligence, impose any addition of feigned circumstances to an action." Which was only the journal's off-band way of affirming its disinclination to tell lies or crib, book or cabbage the sayings of others. The Courant soon began to print advertisements, one of the first being the announcement of the iseue of a new book called "A Modest Inquiry Concerning the Opinion of Guardian Angels."
