ENTERPRISE.

We copy the following from The american
bookseller, New York.
Few people can have failed to notice the
great enterprise, if they have not observed
the scrupulous care with which Messrs. d. Lo-
thrcp & 20. have published a class of books
adapted to the highest culture of the people.
Ii is only ten years since they commenced
the work Of publishing aud their list now num-
bcrs more than six hundred volumes.
We are glad to make record, that brave
and persistent following of a high ideal has
been successful.
Messrs d. Lothrop & Co. have given spec
eial attention to the publication of books for
children and youths, rightly considering that
in no department is The best as regards literary
excellence and purity of moral and religious
reading of so great Importance. Yet the
names of works by such authors As Austin
Phelps, d. D., Francis Wayland, and Dir. Ne
hemiah Adams on their catalogue will show
that maturer readers have not been uneored
for.
OF their works projected for the coming
season we have not room to speak in detail; it
will suffice for the present to say that it is
wide in range, including many substantial and
elegantly illustrated books all in the line OF
the practical and useful and fresh in character

Wide A,odEs and Babyland, are warmly vel
coined in every part Of the English-speakiug

catalogue.

courteously welcomed and entertained, but

Woman as faster and a smeller

The m arked superiority of women
over men is on few points moro re-
markabe than in their superior
powers of smelling and tasting. A
woman will detect the faintest odor
of tobacco when q man, even though
non smoker, often fails to discover
any symptom of it. As with smell
so with taste. Women are marvel.
ously acute and fastidious in the mat.
ter of sauces and all favoring iner1-
dents. This faculty has been rec
ognizsd in a most pleasing manner
by the composition of the jury who
are to decide in Paris on the merits
of the mustards of various nations.
The mustard congress is to consist
of twelve gentlemen and an equal
number of ladies. This arran cement,
it is stated, is owing to suggestion
that the palates of mon are vitiated
by smoking; whereas, women, who
do not, as rule, indulge ia that per-
nicious habit, are likely to be better
qualified to form a correct opinion
on the merits of condiments.
