A Mob of Excited fanatics Threaten-to
Expo! American Missionaries.
LIMA, Peru, via lagveeton, Se t. 24.—
News has been reset gd byte fro Crisco
that an e ted mob faiiatlés ten days
ago thr sued to expel the American mis-
.siOnaries from C’czco, but the subprefeet .
of the place called out a battalion and pre- .
vented the purpose of the mob.
The American Bible society has a mis-
sion in Cuzco for the distributionof Bibles:
There was trouble over the establishment
of this mission among the fanatical in-
habitants, which has recurred periodically -
ever- since. In 1895 the authorities in
Cuzco expelled the missionaries, and they
returned to Lima. The merican' Bible
society’s stock of Bibles has from time to
time been seized and burned. These acts
against the missionaries have been the sub-
ject of representations to the Peruvian gov- '
ernment by the state department at Wash-
ington. The missionaries concluded not to
press their claims, on the ground that the
Peruvian government had done what it
could to protect them. .
Maud Ballard Wants to Die.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Sept. 24.—Mrs. Maud
Ballard, aged 24, who for several years has
been a rider and trapeze performer, travel-
ing with various circuses, threw herself in
front of a’train here yesterday in an effort
to commit suicide, but was pulled from
the track. Mrs. Ballard arrived in Kansas
City from New York Monday and had no
money or friends to help her to St. Joseph.
She walked the whole distance, and when
she arrived here could get no trace of a
relative whom she expected to find. She
is despondent and says she will yet take
her own life.

of Seth Bump Rendered Ample O'ppu r

Tisd-ale, ‘who many years ago was a"
nail manufacturer in Agawam, was an
intimate friend of the Mai'slhiiclil
statesman and many were the gunning
and fishing trips they enjoyed together,
accompanied only by a great big, stiiap-

I ' ' ' “rhodonol.”
Bump.
Calling the dogs and Seth early one
sunny summer’s morning, They started
oil? well supplied with refreshments,
traps and everything necessary 'lu
make a gunning trip successful: ‘ .
Suddenly arriving at the Shores of‘n
pond, the dog swam across, leaving the
party to follow as best they could. ,
“Say, Tisdale,” said Webster, look-
ing a little glum at the prospect, “how
deep is this waterE”.
“It’s all of fifteen'fcet and twenty
yards across. Why} going to SWhll

“No, but I’m. going across
stream somehow.” , .
“Say, Seth, I’ll give you a dollar to
this
swim me across on yodr back,” said.
Tisd'ale, winking to Seth, who grinned,
but shook his 'head rather doubtfully.
I’m a light-weight,”
coaxed Tisdale. , .,
Finally Seth agreed and Tisdlale was
soon safely "landed on the other side.
“Now, Seth, ,I’ll give you a dollar to
swim me over like you did ’l‘is-dal'e.”
said Webster, who weigh-ed more than
a hundred pounds "heavier than Tis-
dale’. "
A dollar was a. big sum to Seth, but
Webster’s weight looked like a bigger
job than he caredto tackle. ,
"Look 'here,"Setb, I’ll give you $2,”
said Webster, showing him the money.
This was too much for Seth and be
readily agreed. '
When they had got lwell out into
deep water Tisdale shouted: “Look
here, Seth! Webster just winked to me
that he wasn’t going to give you any-
thing. He’s fooling you.” ,
No sooner said than done, Seth im-
mediately sunk under water, carrying
Webster cult of sight, and when "he
came up spitting and spluttering, ‘he
shouted to Seth: “I’ll give you any-
thing yop say, Seth. Get me there and
‘you.can' name your own price.”
“No fooling, Mr. Webster. this time,"
or down you go to stay,” said Seth
grimly. _ .
Wheh Selth with his live freight had
all "but reached shore Webster smiled,
although the water w'as running in
rivulets down his cheeks. V
“Say, Seth, ‘he’s just winked again!”
shouted Tisdale. , ' f
Down went Seth for a’ second time,
carrying Webster out of sight, while
Tisd-ale rolled in agony on the shore.
When they reappeared, language that
would hardly grace a Methodist pray er
meeting was "heard in that vicinity.
“Say, it’s all right, Tisdale, and I’ll
settle. But if I ever got an opportuni-

Tire Rapid Strides of Chemistry.-
Chemistry is the basis of all the
sciences, and the rate at'which it has,
been going ahead of'late is astonishing.
On 'a shelf in the Patent Office, at
Washington, are a number of bottles
containing. colognes and various scents.
These are not made from flowers, but
are laboratory compounds, counterfeit-
ing the perfumes of the rose and other
kinds of blossOms so perfectly that no-
body can tell the difference. Nearly all
of them are entirely new.. Attar of
roseshas not y'ét been produced arti-‘
ficially,.but;it is in sight. The chem-
ists are approaching it from two di-
rections. ' The ethereal oil that gives to
the rose its peculiar fragrance is called
This oil is found in the
common lemon grass, and also in some
of the geraniums. tEiforts are being '
made ‘to extract . the oil from these.
plants, only a slight modification be-
ing required to transform it into the
attar. At the same time-the produc-
tion of the attar is being attempted
directly from the elements which nat-
ure employs in its composition.
The production of artificial 'musk
from coal tar is a wonderful triumph
of synthetic chemistry. It is likely to
drive the real article out of the market
before long. Though not at all the.
same thing as real musk, chemically
speaking, its scent is indistinguishable
from that of the latter. Musk, of
course, is an important article of com-
merce, obtained from a gland of the
musk deer that roams the pine forests
of the Himalayas. The perfumes of
all flowers are due to ethereal oils, and
before long all of these will be manu
factured artificially. Ethereal oils give
to fruits their delicious flavors. There
are hundreds of these oils, and every .~
one of these can be counterfeited easily“
' inasmuch as they are very simple
chemical compounds. It doesn’t pay
any longer to use real fruit syrups for
soda water, inasmuch as all of them
can be imitated to perfection with arti-
ficial others or by mixture of ethers.
The biggest commercial success in the
, way of an artificial flavoring is vanal-
line. This product is keeping down
the price of vanilla beans, and it is
likely to drive ‘the latter out of the
market. Already the chemists are
manufacturing: oil of banana, oil of
pineapple, oil of pear, oil of apple, oil
of raspberry. and many others. The
essential oil of banana, obtained by,
distilling the fruit, is identical chemi-
cally with the laboratory product. Oil
of banana is composed of acetic acid
and emyl alcohol, the latter being the
chief constituent of fusel oil. Oil of
bitter almonds has been counterfeited;
though chemically different, it has the
samexfiavor, as the real. .
. Not the I'lrit Love.
Two young fellows, partners in the
tea trade, were thebest of friends, and
their intimacy extended .to personal as
well as To business ma‘tters.
One' of them, a simple-minded fellow,
was a bachelor, and was in the 'habit
of reading to his partner extracts from
letters of an ardent and affectionate
nature from a, lady in the north of Eng.-
land, who signed herself “Susie.”
The married one went to China for
twelve months, and returned just in
time -to attend the wedding of "his part-
ner. .
“I hardly feel like a stranger,” he
said, in his sweetest tones, addressing
the -b1'ide.“In fact, I feel as though I
ought to ‘be well acquainted with my
partner’s wife, since he has often done
me the “honor to read to me extracts of
his dear Susie’s letters.”
The faces of the husband and the
speaker were studies, as the bride
drew herself up, and said, emphatic-
ally and distinctly:
