A writer in nature, discussing the rise of the n?w chemical Industry of pro ducing artificial perfumes, remarks that the sense of smell is as ye1. 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 small may be capable of as artistic developments as that which color per ception has attained. ltlt|«n Fall. I.Ike a Midway.

John Lawrence Toole, the mo3t 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 ■aid that the faces of those eighty men as they rose In a body when Toole tapped on the table as a signal for grace was a sight which will never be forgotten. Imi Canal's Immense Dustneis.

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 live over 60 have been so honored. These were John Adams, 62; Andrew Jackson, 62; Willia-n Henry Harrison, 68; Zachary Taylor, 65, and James Buchanan, 66. Growing Bottlts. There is an Australian curiosity called, because of its peculiar form, the "bottle tree.” It grows to a height Of 50 feet and seems to represent bot tles of all shapes, both right side up and upside down. The interior of the tree contains a glutinous substance that makes a refreshing drink, and to obtain which it is often tapped in the same manner as our maple sugar. The trunks of these trees and thereby natives Boms times hollow out the make excellent canoes. Ordinance No. 90.

In order to test the ideas of children as to right, says Arthur MacDonald in Everybody’s Magazine, the following story was told them: “Jamie’s father gave him a dog, hut Jamie often for got to feed it, and the dog cried often at the door. Then Jamie’s fathor gave the dog to a kind little girl who lived down the street.” The children were asked: Who had the best right to the dog—the father, Jamie or the littla girl, and why? In answering this question 70 per cent of the boys and 57 per cent of the girls thought the little girl had the best right to the dog; 44 per cent of the children thought, because Jamie had been so rruel in neglecting to feed the dog, he did not deserve it. This seems to , weaken the theory commonly held that children are cruel by nature. Jay Gould'ft First Trade. Two boys who became distinguished In widely different ways were Jay Gould, the multi-rwilMonaire, and John Burroughs, the naturalist. They at tended together the humble school in Roxbury, N. Y. John loved books anil Jason was fond of making trades. Young Gould had some books whieh his school fellow wanted very much to own. The more Burroughs thought about the coveted books, the more dili gently he strove to save up his pen nies. Finally he had SO cents hoarded. Taking his wealth to Gould, he found that thrifty young gentleman quite willing to do business. The books were traded off for tho money—most ly big copper pennies—and both boys were made happy. Mr. Burroughs has never regretted his end of the bar gain.—Success for June. Fish into* Ocean Cabin. Tho fault in the New Zealand sub marine cable, which was repaired re cently by tho steamer Recorder, is stat ed to have been caused by the bite of a fish, says the Melbourne corre spondent. It was almost bitten through, a broken tooth, half an inch long and apparently belonging to a fish of large size, being found embed ded in the strands, which rested 330 fathoms below the surface. Experi enced cable workers says that this is a very unusual depth for a mishap of this nature. Golf and tho Parsons. A clergyman who is himself guilty during the week days says that Sun day golf is forging ahead of the church. He finds his male parishion ers more anxious to make the holes than to have him make them holy.— | Philadelphia Times. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. LEGAL NOTICE.
