Distinguishing Odor*
Few of us, tt seems, are able to dis
tinguish any large number of odors.
A writer in nature, discussing the rise
of the new chemical Industry of pro
ducing artificial perfumes, remarks
that the sense of smell Is as ye. wholly
uncultured. "In walking through the
country,” he says, "we can rarely
Identify a particular odor until we see
the plant from which It emanates.” He
suggests that the neglected sense of
smell may be capable of as artistic
developments as that which color per
ception has attained.
Niagara Fall. Uk« a Midway.
Niagara Falls looks like a veritable
midway. There are fakirs and side
shows of every kind and description
from the bearded lady to the three
horned cow, that has attracted the
small boy and his elders, too, for that
matter, for many years In the circus
side shows. The Buffalo exposition is,
of course, the cause of all this addi
tional effort at amusement, as It Is
calculated fully nine-tenths of the peo
ple that visit the exposition during
the summer will journey to Niagara.—
Washington Star.
All Roi« to Say Grace.
John Lawrence Toole, the most
popular low comedian of his day, gave
a supper to eighty of his friends, and
wrote a note to each of them privately
beforehand, asking him whether he
would bo so good as to say grace, as
no clergyman would be present. It is
said that the faces of those eighty
men aB they rose in a body when Toole
tapped on the table as a signal for
grace was a sight which will never be
forgotten.

Old President* Not Many.
In connection with Senator Allison’s
declaration that he is too old to run
for President, he being now 72, It may
be mentioned that so far no man once
three score and ten has ever been elect
ed chief magistrate of the nation. Only
five over 60 have been so honored
These were John Adams, 62; Andrew
Jackson, 62; William Henry Harrison
68; Zachary Taylor, 65, and James
Buchanan, 66.
Growing Rottl**.
There is an Australian curloslt;
called, because of Us peculiar form
the "bottle tree." It grows to a heigh
of 50 feet and seems to represent bot
ties of all shapes, both right side uj
and upside down. The Interior of th
tree contains a glutinous substanc
that makes a refreshing drink, and ti
obtain which it Is often tapped in th
same manner as our maple sugar. Th
trunks of these trees and t.hereb;
natives sometimes hollow out th
make excellent canoes.
Amenltle* of Ancient Warfare,
During the sieges of mediaeval times
it was very uncommon for the be
leaguers to throw from their catapults
and other military engines dead bodies
of dogs, swine, together with pieces of
horseflesh and similar carrion into the
city or castle besieged in order that
the defenders might, by the stench of
this putridity, bo forced to surrender.

Quin Wouldn’t Whistle FalstafT.
“Quin made his last appearance on
the stage as Falstaff. The occasion
was the benefit of his friend Ryan and
the result' such a financial success that
the beneficiary wrote Quin the follow
ing year saying that he would like to
repeat the benefit and asking him as
a favor to appear once more In the
same part. Quin in the meantime had
lost two of his front teeth—a loss
which so interfered with his speech
that he declined his friend’s request.
His letter to Ryan was short, but
characteristic; “ ‘My Dear Friend;
There is no person on earth would
sooner servo than yourself; but sir, I
wnl whistle Falstaff for no man. James
Quin.’ ”
Australia** Productlveno««. .
Two-thirds of the Australian Conti

fail to observe that her productiveness
is enormous. The land contains over
100,000,000 sheep and between 30,000,
000 and 35,000,000 head of cattle and
horses. It has given to the commerce
of the world over $2,000,000,000 in gold,
copper, coal and tin. The two prov
inces of Ballarat and Bendigo alone
have produced $500,000,000 of gold, and
as much more has come from the
great Tambaroora and Lambing Flat
in Nr;.' South Wales. It sends to Brit

A Valuable Ha* Keller.
A bas relief By Clodion, representing
fawns, nymphs and cuplds at play,
has been discovered In a Paris convent.
The relief was carved for the Princess
Louiso of Conoe in the eighteenth
century, and when she became a nun
the figures were covered with plaster.
A Prussian cannon ball at the time of
the siege of Paris chipped off the
plaster, showing the sculpture beneath.
A French antiquarian society intends
to present it to the Carriavalet museum
though the prieq asked for it Is

A Scottish minister who was inde

to know the reason.” “Weel, sir,” an
swered Richard, “I hae three decided

W*r Destroy* Fore»t».
Twenty-five years ago, in 1876, Ser
via was clothed with forests and was
aptly termed “the land of the forest,”
but the Servian-Tureo troubles of
1876-78 played havoc with the forests.
Thousands of acres were stripped of
trees in order to serve for fortifications
or to bar the advance of the Turkish
army or to warm the great masses of
troops that camped on the land during
two winters. The war was followed by
a period of ruthless destruction of the
forests, vast tracts being sold at a rid
iculous price or denuded to supply the
railroads.
