A Showar of Shot
The stories are numerous enough in
which dreams are alleged to have led
to the discovery of a pot of geld or
other valuable tressare. Here is a ease
in which a dream is said to have
brought about an important 1nven-
tion:
There was a mochanic in Bristol,
Eng., whose name was Watts, by trade
a shotmaker. Watts had to take great
sheets of thickness about equal to the
diameter of the shot he desired to
make. Then he cut the sheets into
little enbes, which he rolled in a re-
volving barrel until the corners were
worn off from the constant frietion.
Watts, alter an evening spent with
some jolly companions at the ale house,
went home and tarned mto bed. He
dreamed he was out again with the
“boys.” They were all trying to find
their way home when it to rain
shot. Beautiful globules of lead, pol-
ished and shining, fell at his feet. In
the morn when Watts arose he remem-

PERFUMERY MANUFACTURE
FOR WOMEN,
A practical chemist mays that within
tho iast twelve months he has tasght
perfumery making to several women,
some of whom learned it only for
ply it to the purpose of money-making.
Women, he says, are becoming much in-
terested in this subject, and are better
equipped in every respect than men to
make successful perfumers. One of
| the most important requisites is a nice
| sense of smell, whieh 1s possessed b
| the majority of women, ws their ol-
| factories have not been dulled by
smoking. Women, as a rule, love
flowers, and are fitted for the delicate
manipulations required in the work,
five-sixteenth of a drop too much or
too little often materially changing the
odor. The flold is a wide one, for pure
cooking extracts are difficult to obtain,
and the making of them also offers a
chance for the enterpri woman.
A point on which the chemist dwells
particularly is that the work can be
carried on in a parlor as easily as in a
laboratory, as it requires little
