Standard Com-
Flowers by telegraph.
A New Ilrancli of tha Fltir'.nt'n Iluslneae
Roses Clieuji ut (jtlimltnr.
There is a sign over tint donr of a
florist in New York which says: "Flow
ers l.y Telejrrapli to All Farts of the
World." This sifrn seems KeiMenily
extraordinary to warrant inquiry into
its exact meaning The mental eve
saw baskets of roses whizzing serosa
the country, so the owner of the Rower
store was interviewed by a World
writer upon the Mihj.u-t, and lie said.
"Yes, flowers by telegraph sounds
strange, but it is nevertheless quite pos
sible, and done in a perfectly simple
way. Hero is how it is managed: We
have arranged with one of the leading
florists in every city in this country and
Europe, so that vhen any of our cus
tomers come, write or telegraph to us
and tell us to send (lowers to some
friend in another city we at onee tele
graph the order to our correspondent
and have it iiiled immediately. We
charge the cost of telegraphing or
cabling to our customer. The scheme
has only just been started, but its
working has surprised and delighted
both ourselves and our customers. My
partner is in Europe now establishing
new stations, and we hope to have a
complete belt around the world soon.
"An amusing incident happened in
Gibraltar. A young woman had sailed
from New York on an Italian steamer
and an admirer wanted a bunch of roses
sent to the ship when slio arrived off
Gibraltar. Ten dollars was the amount
he invested. I telegraphed my corre-
punucnt to go out, in the boat with the
flowers and have them handed over the
side of the ship. Now it seems that
flowers are very abundant in Gibraltar,
and the florist had never received so
large an order before. I forget how
many dozen roses were secured, but
they almost filled the small rowboat,
and the effect was as if a flower bed
were floating out from the rock. The
boat attracted great attention from the
ship, and all the passengers flocked to
the side to watch the flowers approach.
Of course there was great curiosity to
know whom all this floral display was
for, and when the name of Miss Evans,
I believe that was the young lady's
name, was called out, she became un
comfortably conspicuous. Devotion
represented by a boat load of flowers
must be that of something more than
friendship. The young lady was an ob
ject of interest the rest of the voyage.'
EXTRACTION OF PERFUMES.
Th Six Method, by Which the Sweet
Odor. Are Obtained.
Six methods of extracting perfumes
are known, says the Scieuce Monthly.
The first is expression by means of a
special press, which is applicable with
out too great loss to fruit skins rich in
essential oils, such as orange and cit
ron peel, previously grated. Another
method is that of distillation, which
consists of heating flowers with water
in a boiler. The essential oil is volatil
ized and is condensed with the vapor of
water in a worm ami Florentine re
ceiver. The water usually rmc.j to the
bottom and the oil floats. The oils of
neroli, rose, patchouli, geranium, lav
ender, caraway, etc., are obtained in
this way. The process is not applica
ble to the delicate perfumes of tho
mignonette and the violet, and for
them recourse is had to maceration of
the Cowers in animal fat or mineral
oils, which have the property of absorb
ing odorous substances, and are then
washed in alcohol Tho flowers are
usually heated in the fat or the oil for
a variable number of hours. For per
fumes which cannot endure a high tem
perature the petals are placed between
frames of glass coated with fat This
is the process of enfleurage. The pneu
matic process, which consists in caus
ing a enrrentof perfumed air or carbon
ic acid to be absorbed by coatings of
lard on glass plates, appears not to
have given satisfactory results. Anoth
er process consists in dissolving per
fumes in very volatile liquids, like sul
phuret of carbon, chloroform, naphtha,
ether or chloride of methyl, and vola
tilizing the solvents, which can bedone
at a low temperature in a vacuum. Tho
last method has given very satisfactory
results in tho extreme delicacy and
(freat accuracy of its returns.
Educated Hoondi.
In the early days of Illinois a gentle
man prospecting through the country
found himself at nightfall near a little
two-story log cabin. FJaving been
granted the privilege of staying all
night, he was shown to the attic, where
he found a couple of hounds, who, as
his host explained, always slept there.
As he was disrobing he gave a mighty
sneeze, whereupon the two hounds
gazed intently at each other a moment
and then with one accord bolted out i f
the single window the room contained.
The hostess, hearing the racket, ap
peared above and inquired the cause.
"Why," said the guest, "I sneezed, and
the hounds looked at each other a mo
ment and then flew out the window."
"Oh, that's it, is it? I'll tell you the
reason they did that. I always whale
the 8tuftln' out of 'em for sneezing
around the house, so when you sneezed
each thought theothcr one was the cul
prit and jumped out of the window to
escape punishment."
