A LAND 'OF I IJOWER8
Fields of Roles, Violets, Tuberoses
and Other Kinds of Blossoms,
The Grasse region, in the south .of
France, is the real land of flowers.
There is practically no agriculture In
the region save floriculture. For
mile after mile as far as the eye can
see there are fields of roses, violets,
tuberoses and other kinds of blos-
soms, beautiful beyond description in
the harvest season.
Jasmine, too, Y'tonquils, orange.
flowers, and, in lesser quantities, ger-
aniums, carnations and heliotrope.
The orange flowers are distilled for
their essential oil, known commer-
cially as "neroli," which sells for
$12Q a pound.
The violet leaves are distilled for
an essential oil which serves as a basis
for violet perfumery. Likewise the
leaves of the sweet geranium. But
most of the geranium oil exported
from the Grasse district is produced
nowadays in Algeria, which is a
French possession.
The method chiefly adopted for ex-
tracting from the flowers the essen-
tial oils which give them their de-
lightful odors is that of spreading
the petals in layers between Prances
coated with refined lard. The hard
takes up the odorous compotinds,
which are afterwar-3separated by
steeping it in grain alcohol, the lat-
ter being thereby ;onverted into
cologne.
Even the most delicious of smells
may become offensive to the nostrils.
if sufficiently concentrated. Thus an
extract of violets as sold to the manu-
facturing perfumer, has an odor so
intense as to be exceedingly dis-
agreeable. 'ti•
The Grasse district produces $20,-
000,000 worth of raw materials for
perfumes annually. But most of the
commercial s_up�lily of attar of roses
comes from lh iigaria, •
It is an essential - oiI obtained by
distillatiea, and one of the chief uses
of the above-mentioned geranium oil
is to adulterate it.
CATS RANKED) HIGH.
--^ "dis
Were Domestic Pets Away Back In
the Dim Past.
Nobody knows for certain just
when the cat began sitting by F ie fire
and blinking at the sparks as they
flew upward, but it is believed that
the old Egyptians were the first to
catch and tame cats, and finally to
domesticate them, says the Baltimore
Sun.
One thing is certain, cats held a
higher place in the. affec ions of that
ancient people than any other. To
kill one was regarded as the same
thing as the murder of a human be-
ing—in fact even more so as the cat
with them was looked on and treated
as a sacred animal. When one died,
its body was as carefully embalmed
as were the bodies of the kings end
queens.
Ever since the time when cats
caught mice among the grain sacks
that Joseph stored up against the
seven years of famine, right down to
the present, cats have been helping
mankind get rid of the rats and mice
that infest the barns and the corn
cribs of the world.
To many people home would not
be home without a family eat to sit
on the hearth and purr when his
back was scratched. If there wasn't
a cat in the house to be put out when
bedtime came something would seem.
to be lacking. It would be like keep-
ing house without a coffee pot or a
bed to sleep on.
Anyone who has ever owned a cat
and, at some time or other pretty.
much everybody has, must have no-
ticed many queer cat ways—sone of
them can be explained and comae can-
not. As much as they love warmth,
they had rather sleep on a folded
newspaper or a cane -seated chair
than on a cushion or rug. They get
in the habit of doing 'certain things
just as people do; and the habits are
just as hard to break away from.
TRAGEDY OP CHINA'S WALL.
Hwang Ti Utilised Every Third Man
to Build It.
The name of the man who built
the great stone wall of China is not
revered. In most countries the hero
of such an achievement would be Im-
mortalized in history and song. But
in China—nothing of the kind has
happened. Rich and poor, learned•
and simple, speak of the builder of
the Great Wall with contempt. They '
lose sight of the wall in contemplat-
ing the wickedness of the man who
built it.
It is said that Hwang Ti utilised
every third able-bodied man in his
kingdom for the work, Millions must
have been so employed by the time
the task was finished, and it was not
s completed during the First Emper-
or's reign. More than two thousand
years ago the Great Wall was built,
and the human agony entailed in ib
construction is remembered in China
to -day. ltvery inch of that far -dung
wall is associated with human suffer -
bag, and it has been . grimly but,
truthfully described as the longest
cemetery on earth,

A LAND 'OF I IJOWER8
Fields of Roles, Violets, Tuberoses
and Other Kinds of Blossoms,
The Grasse region, in the south .of
France, is the real land of flowers.
There is practically no agriculture In
the region save floriculture. For
mile after mile as far as the eye can
see there are fields of roses, violets,
tuberoses and other kinds of blos-
soms, beautiful beyond description in
the harvest season.
Jasmine, too, Y'tonquils, orange.
flowers, and, in lesser quantities, ger-
aniums, carnations and heliotrope.
The orange flowers are distilled for
their essential oil, known commer-
cially as "neroli," which sells for
$12Q a pound.
The violet leaves are distilled for
an essential oil which serves as a basis
for violet perfumery. Likewise the
leaves of the sweet geranium. But
most of the geranium oil exported
from the Grasse district is produced
nowadays in Algeria, which is a
French possession.
The method chiefly adopted for ex-
tracting from the flowers the essen-
tial oils which give them their de-
lightful odors is that of spreading
the petals in layers between Prances
coated with refined lard. The hard
takes up the odorous compotinds,
which are afterwar-3separated by
steeping it in grain alcohol, the lat-
ter being thereby ;onverted into
cologne.
Even the most delicious of smells
may become offensive to the nostrils.
if sufficiently concentrated. Thus an
extract of violets as sold to the manu-
facturing perfumer, has an odor so
intense as to be exceedingly dis-
agreeable. 'ti•
The Grasse district produces $20,-
000,000 worth of raw materials for
perfumes annually. But most of the
commercial s_up�lily of attar of roses
comes from lh iigaria, •
It is an essential - oiI obtained by
distillatiea, and one of the chief uses
of the above-mentioned geranium oil
is to adulterate it.
CATS RANKED) HIGH.
--^ "dis
Were Domestic Pets Away Back In
the Dim Past.
Nobody knows for certain just
when the cat began sitting by F ie fire
and blinking at the sparks as they
flew upward, but it is believed that
the old Egyptians were the first to
catch and tame cats, and finally to
domesticate them, says the Baltimore
Sun.
One thing is certain, cats held a
higher place in the. affec ions of that
ancient people than any other. To
kill one was regarded as the same
thing as the murder of a human be-
ing—in fact even more so as the cat
with them was looked on and treated
as a sacred animal. When one died,
its body was as carefully embalmed
as were the bodies of the kings end
queens.
Ever since the time when cats
caught mice among the grain sacks
that Joseph stored up against the
seven years of famine, right down to
the present, cats have been helping
mankind get rid of the rats and mice
that infest the barns and the corn
cribs of the world.
To many people home would not
be home without a family eat to sit
on the hearth and purr when his
back was scratched. If there wasn't
a cat in the house to be put out when
bedtime came something would seem.
to be lacking. It would be like keep-
ing house without a coffee pot or a
bed to sleep on.
Anyone who has ever owned a cat
and, at some time or other pretty.
much everybody has, must have no-
ticed many queer cat ways—sone of
them can be explained and comae can-
not. As much as they love warmth,
they had rather sleep on a folded
newspaper or a cane -seated chair
than on a cushion or rug. They get
in the habit of doing 'certain things
just as people do; and the habits are
just as hard to break away from.
TRAGEDY OP CHINA'S WALL.
Hwang Ti Utilised Every Third Man
to Build It.
The name of the man who built
the great stone wall of China is not
revered. In most countries the hero
of such an achievement would be Im-
mortalized in history and song. But
in China—nothing of the kind has
happened. Rich and poor, learned•
and simple, speak of the builder of
the Great Wall with contempt. They '
lose sight of the wall in contemplat-
ing the wickedness of the man who
built it.
It is said that Hwang Ti utilised
every third able-bodied man in his
kingdom for the work, Millions must
have been so employed by the time
the task was finished, and it was not
s completed during the First Emper-
or's reign. More than two thousand
years ago the Great Wall was built,
and the human agony entailed in ib
construction is remembered in China
to -day. ltvery inch of that far -dung
wall is associated with human suffer -
bag, and it has been . grimly but,
truthfully described as the longest
cemetery on earth,
