ed Jackson's Confederates along the

charge followed, both sides losing
heavily. As a diversion In favor of
Jackaon, I,ee’a batteries on the heights
above the town opened fire on the Fed-
eral columns, which were packed In
the streets. Then followed a series of
desperate charges against Marye’e

INGREDIENTS OF PERFUMES.
Combinations ef Chemicals Uedd In
Imitation ef Flower Extracts.
There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals, syn-
thetically, as the chemists call It. For-
merly all perfumes were extracted from
flowers, fruits, spices, woods or other
vegetable snd animal substances.
The flrst perfume to be Imitated was
vanilla. In 187fl. Heliotrope followed,
tielng obtained by oxidation of a by-
product of camphor. Tcrplnol Is one of
the moet freely used constituents of
perfumes. This Is a near relation to
turpentine.
With this, a little oil and aqua fortls
a chemist can produce a perfume that
can acarcely be distinguished from
those exhaled by the Illy of the valley,

cording to tin* proportions in which the
chemicals nre blended. Artificial violet
Is a combination of cltrol (an essence

tone. a substance very like pyroligneous

who leaves a vessel of hot wnter stand
Ing for “Just a minute" or keeps bottles
of ftolson side by side with the pepjier

All poisons, properly labeled, should

Why Beef I* So High.
A partial explanation of why beef Is
so high is that when a young or thin
steer is fed for beef it costs more per
pound to fatten the steer than the price
for which the fle«h thus added will
sell. Consequently the finished animal
must he sold for enough more to make
tip the loss caused by fattening It. This
greater price can usually lie obtained
on the market because of the Improve-
ment In quality brought about by the
fattening process.—Wisconsin College
