BY RODERICK CLIFFORD Washington, Dec. 27. Perfume mak

ers of Europe are no longer in absolute possession of the trade of the women of the United States who use bottled fragrance. Tho peppermint, spearmint and wormwood products, grown In New York, Michigan. Indiana,

Wisconsin, and states of the upper Mississippi Valley, are now the back bone of tho home industry. Frank Rabak, expert chemical biolo

gist of the Department of Agriculture, discussing the history of perfumery today said:

"The use of aromatlcs and perfumery dates back to the early ages when spices, and other resinous exudations, many of which possessing agreeable odors, were used for the purpose of scenting. The peculiar agreeable aromas emanating from plants growing in their native habitats may be supposed to have early arqused the attention and admiration of the primitive peoples, although it may not have been known in what form plants and flowers possessed their aromas. Before the art of distillation was known, the ancient peoples used odoriferous plants and spices in their dried form for their agreeable odors. Gradually, however, the development of the special utensils for other domestic purposes may have resulted In the discovery of methods for separation of odors from plants and plant products. The use of distilling apparatus by the ancients in their endeavor to solve the problem of transmutation of elements, and in other researches requiring the. separation of volatile from nonvolatile substances, antedates its use for the production of essential oils and perfumes, but it was probably learned at an early date that the odors present in plants aud plant exudations were capable of separation because of their greater volatility, when compared with other constituents present. The first mention in ancient Greek writings of the separation of an odor from a crude substance is that of oil of cedar, which was separated by the crudest apparatus. This consisted of an open earthen kettle. In which the oleoresln was boiled with water, the vapors of steam and oil being collected in layers of wood so placed that the steam from the kettlo passed through the wood, which served as a condenser, and retained the oil and water. Gradually his apparatus was transformed until It consisted of two definitely related parts, the kettle or

body nf the still, and the removable, head, which, besides closing the kettle, also acted as a condensing device on account of its exposure of a large surface to the air. Further Improvements were made, and the modern still of today Is an adaptation of the essential principles of this apparatus. "The possibilities for perfume manufacture in the United States," says Mr. Rabak. "are unlimited, but little has been dono to promote the Industry. Up to the present time, "he adds" the cultivation of perfume-yielding plants has not been carried on, even experimentally, over a largo part of the United States, and such work as has been done is confined to but few kinds of plants. Until our. knowledge along these lines has been much increased by practical attempts to cultivate this class of products, only statements of

probabilities can be made. However, In some cases plant introductions along other lines from oil-yielding

countries of Europe with Information as to conditions of climate and soil in those regions, give a basis for calculation In connection with these crops. Tho wide diversity In climate and soil In different parts of the United States with the varying conditions of heat, light and-moisture, renders It probable that some portions of the country will be found to be well fitted for the cultivation of perfumery plants characteristic of the temperate zones. It appears probable that the conditions prevailing In those parts of Europe associated with the perfumery industry can be fairly well duplicated. It will doubtless require much experimental work to find the particular localities best suited to special plants." Some work on perfumery-plant growing has been carried on In Florida, notably by E. Moulie, of Jacksonville, whose experience has been encouraging. Experiments by S. C. Hood with a number of oil yielding grasses in the testing garden of the bureau of plant industry at Orange City. Florida, give ground for hope that a number of plants able to endure freezing weather may be cultivated with good results. California and the arid southwest offer promising conditions for plants which thrive in do, sunny locations. Michigan, Indiana and New York are already well known

as important centers for the production of peppermint and fpearmint, while Michigan, Wisconsin. Nebraska and other states in the north central part of the country form an important source of wormwood oil. Doubtless other oil bearing plants now on trial may be found to do well in parts of the same general section. American worm seed is distilled in Maryland and southward, and sassafras is distilled in various places, especially in the

mountains from Pennsylvania southward. The oils of wintergreen, sweet birch, spruce and white cedar are derived from the more Northern ranges of the Atlantic slope. The mountainous regions of Tennessee and Kentucky supply wintergreen, sweet birch and sassafras oils. It is apparent that a number of native and introduced plants, rich in volatile oils, have obtained foothold on a commercial basis in this country, and there is good ground to hope that products of this general class now obtained from abroad may ia time become naturalized here. The growth of the volatile oil industry has been rapid in Germany and France, due to the opening of remuneration lines of work by pioneer.ng scientific workers, and the greater demand for these products by manufactures. Although volatile oils find

much use in medicine, the greatest demands come from the makers of perfumes and flavors. As a result of scientific research along the lines of perfume chemistry, not only has a great field for commercial activity been discovered, but scientific knowledge itself has been greatly enlarged. This mutually helpful relation between science and commerce has been conspicuously developed in France and Germany, but to a relatively slight extent In this country.

PROSECUTORS ARE TO HOLD MEETING

(American News Service) Lansing. , Mich., Dec. 27. Necessary reforms of the criminal laws and the best means for bringing about the desired changes will be the subject for consideration at the annual convention of the Michigan Association of Prosecuting Attorneys which opened its two-day session in the senate chamber of the State Capotol here today. Among those in attendance are many of the most noted prosecutors in the State, including Judge Phillip T. Van Zile cf Wayne County, President Walter P. Foster, Ingham; Howard Oavanaugh. Calhoun; Attorney General Franz Kuhn, and others. President Foster Is scheduled to speak on "The inefficiency of the criminal laws governing non-support cases," and Mr. Cavanaugh will speak on "Local Option from the prosecutor's standpoint."

BATTLE WITH A BOG. Redmire's Suction Tore tho Leather Gaiters Off a Man's Less. Readers of "Lorna Dooue" can never forget the terrible drowning of Carver in the bog. That death trap Js still to be seen' la the Exmoor country, and not long ago a valuable bunting horse was engulfed In the mire, and his rider barely escaped with bis life. S. Raring-Gould, who had a narrow escape from a similar bog. tells of it in his "Book of the West." The author was with an official from the ordnance survey, who was correcting the map of the country: "Ia the dusk we lost our way and got into Redmire. It wn tv?ntor. the bog was unusually :i ! we could scarcely trip lroui uue stone to another. Six bullocks had been lost in that rery spot during the year. "All at once I sank above my waist and was rapidly being sucked ia farther. I called to my companion, but in the dark he could not see me. The water reached to my armpits. Happily I Lad with me a stout bamboo six feet long. I placed It athwart the surface and held my arms as far extended as possible. By quickly jerking my body I gradually lifted it. and then I threw myself forward as far as I could. Finally I managed to cast rayself full length on the surface. The suction was so great that it tore tho leather gaiters off my legs. "For a quarter of an hoar I lay stretched out, gaspinj, before I got breath enough to worm myself along to dry soil."

Old Postal Rates. The high postal rates that prevailed in the earlier years of the last century made the transmission of a letter or parcel a matter of serious moment "A packet weighing thirty-two ouuc" was once sent from Deal to London." writes Mrs. Eleanor Smyth iu her life of Sir Rowland Hill. "The postage was over G, being four times as much as the charge for an inside place by the coach. Again, a parcel of official papers small enough to slip inside an ordinary pocket was 6ent from Dublin to another Irish town addressed to Sir John Burgoyne. By mistake it was charged as a letter Instead cf ns a parcel and cost 11. For that amount the whole mail coach plying between the two towns with places for Qvea passengers ai:d their luggage might have been hired." London Chronicle. To Identify a Chld. My stflall son did not return at the regulr.r time one day while out with a maid. The thought terrified me that in case of an nccideut there would be no way of identifying him should he be lost. The next morninj; I cut pieces of wide tape, on which I wrote very clearly his name, address and our telephone number in indelible ink. I sewed one of these pieces to each of his under waists, in front where it could be plainly seen. K. E. A. In liar per's Bazar.

Cholera. Cholera was first recognized by the Portuguese in India as far back as the middle of the sixteenth century. It has the peculiarity of following a well defined route, with progress just equal to that of an average journey ou foot.

Declaring to County Clerk-elect George Mathews, who is assisting about the office, that she had vowed early in life not to marry if she had to

change her name, the not altogether unromantic Miss Clara B. Jones of this city has found a Jones namely Paul Sylvester Jones. The license was issued on Saturday, but withheld until Tuesday as the clerk was informed the ceremony would be solemnized oiv this date. Relatives of the groomelect were not familiar with this arrangement and expected the ceremony would not he held for three or four weeks. Miss Jones, who is now or soon will be. Mrs. Jones, is the nineteen-year-old daughter of Joseph Jones, well known in Richmond. Paul S. Jones

is a dramatic reader of considerable ability and during the excitement of the "wet" and "dry" campaign in Indiana in 1909, participated in it. He is the son of Sylvester H. Jones, one of the heads of the local branch of the American Seeding Machine company and he himself is emloyed at the factory as a machinist. Several years ago Jones was in the United States army and while ou recruiting duty was married. He wa3 divorced from his first wife in January, 1910. He is now twenty-four years old.

Soldiers Who Didn't Steal

Apples Ate Them. A reprimand which takes the form of a joke is sometimes more effectual than a burst of anger. Such an example was furnished by a Confederate oClcer and described by T. O. Moore In

his "Anecdotes of General Cleburne." (

The southern army, marching across the mountains of Georgia, had Its supply trains cut off and was obliged to live upon the country. Apples, chestnufs and persimmons were plenty, but the army had strict orders not to depredate upon private property. One day I was trudging along ia the rear of General Granbury's brigade when I saw down the road General Cleburne sitting on the top rail of a fence, while below him lay five or six bushels of fine red apples. Near by stood a number of soldiers, who looked as mean as men could look. General Granbury saluted General Cleburne, who remarked: "I'm peddling apples today." . "How's that?" "These gentlemen," pointing to the soldiers who had stolen the apples, "have been very kind. They have gathered apples for me and charged nothing. Til give them to you and your men. Now get down and take one, and each of your men take one only one, mind you until all are gone." The invitation was accepted, the men cheering for "Old Pat" When the apples were gone the general made each man who had stolen the apples carry a rail for a mile or two.

Taking No Chances. The big steamer had left the pier. 'he young man on th tar barrel still waved his handkerchief desperately. "Oh, what're you vmiting for? Come on," said his companions disgustedly. "I daren't." with one fearful glance backward. "What's the matter?" "She has a fieldglass," said the young man. Everybody's.

Figure to jourself this youth, this son of princes; conceive him Tlvldly, briag his state before yeur eyes and then observe him when he learns that hi father's. spirit walks. Staud before him in the terror of the night when the venerable spirit appear over him. A horrid shudder passe over him; he speaks to the mysterious form; he sees it beckon to him; he follows it and hears. The fearful accusation of his uncle rings in his ears, the summons to revenge and the piercing oft repeated prayer, "Remember ruef And when the ghost has vanished who is it that stands before us? X young hero panting for vengeance? No! Trouble aud astonishment take hold of the solitary young man". He grows bitter against smiling villains, swears that he will not forget the spirit and conclude with the slgniflcant ejaculation: , The time ia out of Joint.
