Your Nose May Know.
T. Benjamin Fai.cett, in the Neva York Evening Post.
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.

New Passenger Fares.
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."

Orange Salad
Brown Bread Sandwiches
Mince Pie Coffee
Halved Grapefruit with Cherries
Roast Turkey Oyster Dressing
Cranberry Jelly
Creamed Onions Mashed Potatoes
Celery, Nut and Green Pepper Salad
Plum Pudding
Frozen Brandy Sauce
Coffee
The two dressings are so Important
that the recipes are added, and it
should be remembered that with a
good dressing and a rich brown gravy
smaller portions will bo required
serving the Christmas birds.
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. Jills welljuil \l?e to stuff
a 10-pound turkey. This gives a dry
dressing; If a moist ono is desired,
add about half a cupful of the oyster
lining.
Onion and Sago Dressing.
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.

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
of the National Game.
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.

suddenly breaking the silence, “does

deep concern, “I’ve just found a fly
