A fireman's wedding in a burnt-out church is certainly something of a nov elty. Such a wedding has jimt taken place lu the chancel of St. George's, Leicester, the greater part of the building having been destroyed by fire last year. It was the first fireman's wedding in Leicester, and the bride groom's colleague, formed a guard of honor and arranged an arch of axes, etc., under which the bride and bride groom passed out nl'ter the ceremony. Fireman Sturges, the bridegroom, was among those who fought the flames at St. George's last October. London Tit Ulls. Should Serve as Warnings.

NOT DRAWN FROM FLOWERS Perfumes Today Are Extracted From Almcst Everything but Seemingly Natural Source. There are few perl'unies today that cannot be made from chemicals, lynlheticnlly, as the chemists call It. Formerly all perl'unies were extracted from flowers, fruits, spices, woods or other vegetuble and animal sub stances. The first perfume to bo Imi tated was vanilla, In 1K70. Hellotroplne followed, but obtained by oxidation of a by-product of camphor. Terpinol Is one of the most freely used constituents of perfumes. This Is a near relation of turpentine. With this a little oil and aquafortis a chem ist can produce a perfume that can scarcely be distinguished from those exhaled by the lily ol tho valley, lilac and Cape Jessamine, varying accord ing to the proportions in which the chemicals are blended. Artificial violet Is a combination of cltrol (an essence extracted from lem on), Indian vervaine, or lemon ver bena, with common acetone, a sub stance very like pyrollgneous acid. No chemist has been able to coun terfeit nnisk, but a synthetic perfume called musk is made from toluene a by-product of benzine and coal tar. This is changed to a complex' car buret, treated with azotic and sul phuric adds, is diluted and Fold as musk. Most of the cheap perfumes are im itations and they are almost always Inferior to the flower extracts. So it might properly be said that It is a wise flower that. knows fts own per fume 'fWWH
