The Smells OF Glasgow.
Saturday Reyiew.

Among the smells for which the city
of Glasgow is justly famous, and which
certainly exceed in number and pun.
or lately might, be described rs all-pCr-
,ading. 1t is singularly warm, sweet
ish smell, which follows you everywhere,
and which is partieularlypleasant when
ever west wind is blowing. In this
smell, as in pleasing and commodious
environment, the other minor and local
odors have their being. The natives
say that the sweetish, sickly stencil ac-
companies some vapor which has the
power of blackcning silver, and this
statement we can readily believe. The
fragrance in question is scattered abroad,
as out OF censer, from mighty Chin
ney which, "likc some tall bully lifts its
head" and is offensive. The chimney
belongs to the st. Rollox Chemical
Works, and the smell for all we know,
may be that of diamonds in the making,
for in St. Rollox Mr.. Maclear has possi
bly, succeeded in making artificial dia-
monds Whether the result Is quite
worth the misery which the St Rollox
chimney inhicts, or at least used to in
tlict, on the human nose, is Il question
best settled by persons who live within
a ten miles radius of Glasgow. 1t would
be great thing for the Glasgow bud
Dies 70 claim for their town priority IN
this art. But greatness is not achieved
without suffering and the possibly "bas-
tard diamonds" as Pliny calls them,

ious, or at least nasty, vapors.

JAY GOULD has been elected President
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail-
road, and that valuable highway has
been virtually added to the enormous
system of railways now controlled by
this phenomenal man. There seems to
be no end to his grasping ambition. If
he lives ten years longor, and the gen.
eral prosperity continues, he will be the
richest man ever seen on the Western
continent. The Rothschilds' fortune
will be mere bagatelle beside his. If
hard times, grasshoppers, and pestilence
strike the country, he will be the most
majestic bankrupt the world has produced
since Napoleon lost his Empire ann died
in British almshouse. The probabili-
ties are that this man, whose life is one
of constant strain and anxiety, will wear
and burn himself out before another
decade. Col. Tom Scott, man Of great
er physique and finer nervous organiza-
ton, broke himself down in an effort to
perform the executive labor of ten men,
and, although Gould is more methodi-
cal and careful worker, he cannot but
expect to pay the penalty of overtaxed
nature when the draft falls due.

An oil inspector of New Orleans has
issued the following recommendation to
those who burn dangerous oils: Fill
and trim your lamps daily. Never at
tempt to fill a lighted lamp. Burn your
lamp with the wick turned up full.
Never turn down the wick and burn as
a taper, for, when so burned, the gas,
instead of being burned with the oil,
collects, and causes the lamp to explode.
Use burners which are considerably ele-
waited over the body of the lamp. And,
il you are determined to light your fires
with coal oil, first ascertain if there are
any live Goals in the CRATE or fireplace.
After you have poured on the oil set
your oil-can in the next room, put your
trust in the Lord and touch her of. By
observing these rules you may be lucky
enough to escape an accident.

regular customers and was making mon
ey rapidly. The first thing in the morn
ing he lent his services to the butchers
and grocers on his list; the dry goods
merchants and clerks came next, and
the boots of bankers and lawyers were
renovated in turn. The ablest man in
the business, however, was a colored
man in Baltimore, whose professional
savings he computed at $4,000.

The scourgc of Mankind

~ J. lllltf
Some very remarkable statements
were ma le in recent lecture by DR. t.
X. Gregg, before the 81 IS of the COLLEGE
of Physicians and Surgeons of Buffalo
The lecturer has charge of the depart
ment of tuberculosis, and may be pre-.
sumed TO speak from well authenticated
statistics. lie announced that in each
generation "one-fifth of all mankind die
of consumption alone and one-third Of
all from the ravages of tubercles upon
all the organs Of the body, including the
lungs. Comparing the mortality from
this source with that from yellow fever
during the year 1879, he stated that it
would require 450 years of such cpidcm-
les of yellow fever TO equal the deyayta-
ton wrought by consumption in a single
generation in this country alone, and
$50 years of such work TO equal the nor.
tality caused by tnbercles in one gencrl-
ton i'll this country. Thi. is n striking
manner of stating conclusion which, If
II is unsustained by evidence, is suih-
ciently appalling. Probably the general
public, which is unaware of the subtle
and varied forms taken by tuberculosis
on the lungs alone, and still more so OF
the malignancy of the disease III forms
less populsrly recognized will pass by
Dr. Greggs assertion as of that startling
class to which physicians have of late
years accustomed us; but the subject is
one 10 which he has gwen his lifetime
IN study, and on which his word has
considerable weight.

are 35S colleges and universities in the
United States, or one for every 100000
inhabitants, basing the population at

students in the preparatory departments;
3,203 professors and 30,36S students in
the colleges proper, or one student for
every 100 inhabitants. All these col
leges had total income from productive
funds of 81, ,54s, 1924, or about $7,ll0 for
each. These average nine professors
each-so they must not live in clover
very much. The receipts from tuitions
in 1878 were 81 ,s65, ,4s4. All these col
leges have 2,ls9,932 volumes in their L.

umes to each. The total value of the

Maple sugar Growing In ohio.

The little town of Hudson, Ohio, in
the county of summit, twelve miles north
OF Akron, is the center of the largest
maple sugar district of the State, and Is
considered the head center for the man
utacture of maple sugar and syrup. The
State OF Ohio ranks as the third state
IN the Union IN the manufacture of this
article, and the present year viii show
for that State the largest yield of maple
sugar known in years. In every dlrec.
ton around the town Of Hudson appear
the sugar camps, at more or less ire
quent intervals. Ohio produced last
year between three and tour hundred
thousand gallons of syrup, and sugar 10
the amount of about three million
pounds. The average price for the syrup
is about 81 per gallon. Sugar last year
was worth fifteen cents per pound, but
this year is only bringing twelve cents
per pound. The gross value of the pro-
duct last year was, therefore, about $780,
000, and will be about the same this year
After the maple syrup is made it is seal,
ed up in gallon and two-gallon jugs, ana
shipped for the consumers use in the
