Just as sure as you are able to close your eyes and tell the difference be tween the odor of an American Beauty rose and a string of garlic so can the different races of people recognize each other by the sense of smell. Every nation has its own peculiar odor, many orientals claiming that they can go into a room while blindfolded and pick out the white people of the United States gathered there. Conversely it is Just as easy for any of us to select orientals in the same manner, perhaps even less difficult. Inhabi tants of the far east and Africa, such as the Japanese, Chinese and Indians, have very distinct oriental odors, and to go into the homes of these people it is even more noticeable. A great amount of this may be traced to the dif ferent articles of clothing or various scented woods used in the construction of the furniture. However, Hindu and Japaneso runners and rickshaw : men, all of whom wear very lithe clothing, have practically the same gen eral oriental odor. So, after all, it must be the people themselves. Not long ago a French scientist stated that the English had a distinctly different odor from the inhabitants of France. To prove his contention he allowed himself to be blindfolded and then conducted through a railway coach, picking out the English passengers as ho went along. That such a test was not exactly conclusive could be contested from the fact that in numerable circumstances would enable the scientist to make a choice with out relying on his keenness of smell. For instance, the report of the test | does not state whether he was allowed to touch the passengers or not. If permitted to do so it might have been easy for liis highly trained faculties to have discerned much conclusive evidence of nationality, such as the cut j of clothing, beard or hair. j Different odors are very noticeable among the lower animals. It might j be difficult for you to separate and distinguish them by merely walking | through a menagerie, but should you ask keepers of zoos to do so they prob ably could accommodate you in a remarkably short time. Some trainers have made the claim that they could tell when an animal was angry by the smell of its breath long before the expression of anger showed in unmistak able lines on its face. But the skunk, familiarly known as the “sachet kit ten” in high society, seems to take special delight in covering Us intentions | to the very last, a fact which many coon and possum hunters have experi enced in the early hours of the morning. A reader who has ever partici pated in such an adventure in the world of smeils will, I am sure, readily follow this argument. But we must wend our way to the vegetable kingdom for the most de lightful odors known to mankind. This is very noticeable along all tribu taries of the Amazon river, and indeed the overpowering odofs of jthe flora, , may Wye 'SOmethlngTo' JiTwltJi the petalmet wiLh n ' these localities. The most noted of these troubles is called beri-beri, tne real cause of which has never been ascertained, its victims losing power qver i their Umbs and gradually sinking into a deep sleep of exhaustion* from which there is no recovery. A similar, though not necessarily fatal, u ability has lately been reported as quite frequent—nay, almdst epidemic— in the Cuban islands as affecting Americans sojourning there temporarily. . A strangely penetrating odor has in each case been remarked upon anywhere from within six to 20 paces of the recumbent victim, and, like beri-beri a complete loss of power over both limbs and mind almost invariablj o Unlike beri-beri, there are few fatalities, the disease being recurrent. But, turning to a more delightful side, who has not visited the great natural floral districts of our own country without being entranced oy the odors of the many different flowers? Nothing is more sleep compelling than the combination of a balmy southern night, deliciously scented by the™ nolia and cape jasmine, intermixed with the lesser odors °f other flowers wafted in on the moist breezes. Mariners approaching tropical lands are able to judge the nearness of them by the smells, much of the strength being contributed by the various scented woods that constitute the forests of such localities. Camphor, sandalwood and numberless shrubs are perhaps the best known of these woods. But nature is exceedingly peculiar in some ; of its methods, as sometimes the most beautiful blossoms will have an out- i lawed odor that immediately classes them with the deceptive wood pussy whose antics are not always in keeping with its innocent, kittenish looks. Others havin- delightful odors are claimed to cause hay fever; our national flower goldenrod,1 while not being very sweetly scented, stands at the bead °f 1 Moral—It behooves one, if he wiU follow his nose, to do so with caution. •f RIGHT WAY TO READ. ♦ 4- - •f By Sydney Smith. + ♦ The only way to read with any + + efficiency is to read so heartily 4 that dinner time comes two hours 4 4 before you expected it.

From the New York Times. The new freight rates get more atten tion because they are the more import- ! ant, their total exceeding passenger fares three times or more. But passen ger fares perhaps will lead the way in forming public opinion regarding tho new rate and fare schedules. Passengers vote, and freight does not. Besides, freight costs can be shifted to consumers better than passenger fares, even when they are a business cost, and personal fare for pleasure cannot be shifted at all. The latest official figures regarding passenger fares are for July. In that , month they totaled $133,000,000, against $120,600,000 last year. For eight months this year passenger fares totaled $823, 100,000, against $778,000,000 last year. For July the gain was $13,000,000 against a gain of $45,100,000 for eight months. The gain was larger for the latest month re ported than for the average month. These figures disclose no resentment at the increased cost of travel. Probably the more oorrect inference is that luly* is a good month for pleasure travel and that the effect of the increased fares, like the increased rate, will not be re flected- in the figures until October or November. What China Thinks of Us. From the Philadelphia Record. The Chinese, it appears, entertain a general, and to their minds well founded, \ disdain for -the west, as compared with their own racial and national r.uperior ity. One writer flays western arrogance for pretending superiority. Ho com mands attention, for he does not merely assert. He gives his reasons. Thus: “You were great only once, and that time is not now. You will never pro duce a Bible or a Shakespeare again, for used to luxuries as you now are, you \ will forever despise the simple poverty that produced the manly virtues which evolved the philosophy of Plato and Paul's day. The ascetism and unself ishness of your Bible gave you sturdy virtues, hut now that you have machln I ery you are looking unto wealth for greatness.’* The writer ascribes China’s superiority to the Chinese lack of “rebellious envy on the part of the unhappy against the privileged few/' and the “little oppor tunity for *ha-» grinding oppression which breeds undying hate, because prom inence and selfishness are synonymous. W© glory in teaching Confucius in all our schools. You throw your greatest book out of your schools/' After declaring that we were “harder to civilise than any race," he predicts our downfall and the exaltation of China. "In the adaptation of ourselves to the Inventive ago you will .see that w© shall reach the higher plane without bloody disorganization, as we are a race with daith and conscience enough to follow what time, the only teat fand i«et us by ,U?) has proved to be right. Leak to yourselves." Von Moltke at Cards. Frdu>-th© Kansas City Star. Count Voh Moltke was a typical Pru«-\ 1 elan general\*n some respects, and in * some he wo3 n0\ He was always pure* tnaL but he drank beer; he was i - _ i rtot of a. sporting turn and he knew only one joke and that a very poo? pun which he told on rare occasions. He became jocular only when wax was in prospect and Bismarck said of hino that he became 10 years younger when the Franco-Prussian wax began in 1870. Moltke disliked losing at cards so much that his family always arranged to let him win. Ilia wife would even go so far as to cheat in order to lot her distinguished husband win, and the family life was one whole conspiracy to indulge him in his foible. At the close of a game ho would reckon to the small est amount. “It is really wonderful that I have won in spite of my bad play," he would remark suspiciously, but he never questioned the result. The points were always half a pfennig, and even when he played with the kaiser th# stake was not higher. Japan’s “Diplomacy of Necessity.* From the Japan Advertiser (Toklo). Japan’s “diplomacy of necessity" is the fundamental fact of all her policies. Her people are Increasing in numbers more rapidly than any other people In the world. Her soil. Intensively culti vated to a high pitch, cannot much longer support them. They are debarred from emigrating where they might thrive and permitted to emigrate where they cannot thrive. Japan herself perceives and acknowledges the hard logic of facts and disclaims any intention of thrusting her emigrants on lands where It is only too clear they will not be allowed to settle, as things are Jn the world at present. This situation Js in part the creation of th© white man’s ne cessities, and Japan therefor© has a moral claim that he shall not interfere with her expansion into regions where it does not conflict with his own vital Interests. But Japan cannot emigrate to Asia where the doors are open. She Is met there with prohibitions no less strong than those which debar her from Cal ifornia and Australia. In whatever part of the Asiatic mainland she goes she finds the Chinese emigrant competing with hers and beating them exactly as her emigrants compete with and beat the white man In California. The only solution, therefore, seems to be that Japan shall become the workshop of Asia, Just as Britain, a century ago in somewhat similar conditions, became the workshop of the world. This “diplomacy of necessity," seems to deserve somewhat, closer examination than it has received. The latter insist* that at the back of Japan’s claims in China “lies economic pressure of the most acute kind, and the claim itself 1* part and parcel of a consistent policy for which the nation has fought tw* great wars and for which, if necessary, it would fight again. For the altern ative, as the Japanese see it. Is extinc tion." Mr. Vanderlip describe* it as “a living problem, a. problem of tomorrow's dinner for B7,000.000 people, and It has to be answered somehow." Rule* of the Road. Room the Lms Angeles Times.

Oyster Dressing. Turn into a mixing bowl three cupfuls of grated bread bread crumbs and add, in the order mentioned, one teaspoonful of salt, throe table spoqnfuls of chopped parsley, two teaspoonfuls of poultry seasoning, a quarter of a teaspoonful of ground mace, two tablespoonfuls of very finely minced celery and about M oysters.

Use the same quantity of crumbs as in the oyster dressing and_acUl two !?mall minced onions that TiiTve been cooked without browning in three tablespoonfuls of oieo for five min utes. Add also the oieo, half a tea- , spoonful of poultry seasoning, one . teaspoonful of powdered sage, one finely chopped apple, a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of paprika and one cupful of finely chopped celery tops. This quantity of Ingredients will be sufficient for an eight-pound bird. Frozen Brandy Sauce. This is a rather novel pudding sauce, and it is the best to servo with a plum pudding that I krlow. Heat ono cupful of milk with one sixteenth teaspoonful of salt and stir in one level teaspoonful of cornstarch mois tened with a little cold water. Stir over hot water until slightly thick ened and smooth, cook for four or five minutes longer and stir In the yolk of an egg beaten lightly with half a cupful of sugar. Removo from the fire, cool, add a teaspoonful of va nilla extract, a bit of grated nutmeg and one cupful of thick cream whipped solid. Turn Into a chilled freezer and freeze slowly. When tho cream begins to congeal add half a cupful of brandy and freeze solid. Do not add the brandy at first, or It will not freeze for a long time. Other flavorings can be used If preferred, such as bitter almonds or Maraschino. LET THE OLD YEAR GO ITS WAY By William Herschell. Let the Old Year go its way Down the mists of Memory Bay, Where a million others like It Bide the waves of Yesterday; Where the tides roll ever onward, "Never inward, never dawnward, Always washing, wasnlng yonward With their lashing, splashing spray. Let the Old Year go Us way Breathe no prayer to have it stay, Send it out with all your sorrows Where the gloom-gulls wait for prey. Let it take those long hours dreary When you wailed, worn and weary, For some word, from Chateau Thierry Of a loved one in the fray. Let the Old Year go its way Though it brought ono golden day, When the Sun of Right Triumphant Cleared the skies of battle gray. Yet, somehow, Fate seemed to bor row Bits of joy to make a sorrow— Made for some a sad tomorrow. E'en when hope held sweetest sway. Let the Old Year go Its way Down the mists of Memory Bay, Where a million others like it Ride the waves of Yesterday. Go to meet the New Year—Cheer It With a Thls-fs-my-year spirit— Then, that all tho world may hear it. Sing a peace-born carol gay! CHRISTMAS THE WORLD AROUND. This year all the simple, majestic beauties of the fiirst Christmas seem making a wistful but peculiarly poig nant plea to be remembered. Peace and good will after a bitter estrange ment are ours to live again. We are free to labor together to win the world by building up, not by tearing down. If we choose we may be unified and inspired to effort by Peace as wo have been by War, and labor to replace nameless terror, fu tile pain and feeble wailing by . . . “Children's faces looking up Holding wonder like a cup." We may buy with our riches of money and of resources the love and gratitude of the world n Its need; we may spend our young strength In service that will win for us the rev erence and trust of the nations; we may barter our material advantages for the deep satisfactions of a soul at peace with itself, or we may pur chase food and drink and all the Joys of soft living—while the world starves outside our gates. Never was there a Christmas with such possibilities for the giving of gifts that are vital and healing, gifts that are golden and fragrant—fit to be laid at the feet of The Child. —A. L. D.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have baseball teams composed of Inmates, and the national sport has done much to revive the health and spirits of prisoners. These baseball teams are uniformed and play a regular schedule of games, but of necessity these games are always played on the prison home grounds. One of the best known prison teams Is that of Sing Sing. It is known ns the Mutual Welfare league team, and last season It won more than 05 per cent of games played with visiting nines. The prison baseball field has a splendidly graded surface, and there are bleachers for spectators. The team plays Saturday und Sunday after noons. Visiting teams come from New Jersey and Connecticut. The prison team has won from some of the best semi-professional nines In these states. The Eastern penitentiary In Philadel phia has long maintained a baseball team, and has developed muny good i players. Out of Place. A book-lover was seated In his li brary, surrounded by scattered vol umes. Encouraged by the reports of discoveries of valuable fragments of manuscripts in other people’s books, lie was having a little search of his own.
