The Mystery of Perfume.

No one has yet been able to analyze
or demonstrate the essential action of
perfume. Gas can be weighed, but not
scents the smallest known creatures,
the very monads of life, can be caught
by microscopic lens and made to de-
liver up the secrets of their organiza-
ton but what It is that emanates from
the pouch of the musk-deer, that fills a
whole space for years and years with its
penetrating odor, an Odor which an
1limitable number of extraneous sub
stances can carry on without diminish
ing it In size and weight. and what it is
that the warm summer air brings to us
from the flowers, no man yet has been
able to determine. So fine, 80 subtle,
so imponderable, it has eluded both our
most delicate We lights and measures and
our strongest lenses. If we could come
to the essence of each odor, we should
have made an enormous stride forward,
both in hygiene and in chemistry and
none would profit more than the medi-
cal profession if it could be as conclu-
sively demonstrated that such an odor
proceeded from such and such cause,
as we already know of sulphur, sulphu
rated hydrogen, ammonia, and the like.
As it is, no one knows anything and if
the art of the Derfumers forms one Of
the chief delights of our civilized
senses, the cause by which he works is
a mystery solved by none.

TEE BEsr VESrILATIoS.-A furnace
in the cellar may be good TO take the
chill from the house, and to heat it's
halls and passages but it ought not to
supersede the fireplace in parlor and
chamber, at once the ventilsior OF the
room aud its center Of cheer and Joy.
No apparatus of ventilation has yet
been devised equal to the old-fashioned
chimney. Even when no fire Is made in
the aperture, this avenue to the open
air draws its currents and keeps the
atmosphere pure. Where there is no
open fireplace, no free hue, there will
be q sense Of asphyxia in those stormy
nights when the windows must be fas-
tened close. Every room IN the house
which is used to sit In or sleep in ought
to have sufficient opening into the
chimney. larger than the ori6ce Of a
stove-pipe. No matter If the heated
air escapes by it; It is hetter 70 ios'
half of the heated air than 70 be breath

autumn the fireplace, with wood on the
andirons, gives all the heat that viii be
needed, and gives il more gracefully

Expanding the Chest.

Take strong rope, aud fasten It to a
beam overhead; to the lower end of the
rope attached to stick three feet long,
convenient TO grasp with the hands
The rope should be fastened 10 the
centre of the stick, which should hang
six or eight inches above the head
Let person grasp with the hands two
or three feet apart, and swing very
moderately Ht first, perhaps only bear
the weight, if very weak, and gradu-
ally increase, as the muscles gain
strength from the exercise, until IL may
be used from three TO five times daily.
The connection with the arms with the
body, with the exception of he clavicle
with the breast bone, being a muscular
attachment TO the ribs, the effect of
this exercise is to elevate the ribs and
enlarge the chest; and as nature allows
no vacuum, the lungs expand to fill the
cavity, increasing the volume OF air, the
natural purifier of bloCd, and prevent
ing the congestion or deposit of tuber-
culous matter. We have prescribed
the above for all cases OF hemUrrhage o.
the lungs, and threatened consumption,
for thirty-fve years, and have been
able to increase the measure of the
chest from tie TO four inches within
a few months, and with gOod results
But especially as q preventative we
would recommend this exercise. Let
those who love 70 live cultivate well
formed capacious chest. The student,
the merchant, the sedentsry, the young
Of both sexes, aye, ell, should have a
swing on which TO stretch themselves
daily. We are certain that IL this were
TO be pracsiced by the rising generation
in dress allowing free and full devei-
opment Of the body, many would be
saved from consumption. Independ-
emily Of its beneficial results, the ex-
ercise is an exceedingly pleasant one,
and as the apparatus costs very little,
there need be no difficulty about any
one enjoying it who wishes to.-BiO
