Mystery OF Scent.

No ONE has yet been able to analyze
or demonstrate the essential action of
perfume. Gas can be weighed, but not
scent. The smallest known creature
the very monades can be caught by
microscopic lens and made to deliver
up the secrets of their organizations,
but what is it that emanates from the
pouch of the musk deer that fills a
whole space of years with its penetrat-
ing odor-an odor that an illimitable
number of an extraneous substances
can carry on without diminishing its
size and weight-and what it is that the
warm summer air brings us from the
flowers, no man has yet been able to
determine. So fine, SO subtle, so i'm
ponderable; it has eluded our most
delicate weights and measures and our
strongest senses. If we 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 medical
profession if it could be as conclusively
demonstrated that such an odor pro.
ceeds from such and such cause, as
we already know of sulphur, sulphate,
hydrogen, ammonia and the like.

The Ladies', Favorite.

Among the many thousands of ladies who
have used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
aud pronounced 1t their favorite remedy, be-
cause so efficient in the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women, are many who are
well and favorably known in the world of let
tiers, as well as artists, musicians, and whole
host of names from the brilliant ranks OF
wealth and fashion. 1t is pre-eminently the
ladies' Favorite Prescription, its use, while
being far more safe and efficient, exempting
them from those painful, caustic operations,
and the wearing OF those mechanical contriv-
ances made like Peter Pindar's razor-seller's
razors-to SELL rather than to cure.

Honesty the Best Policy.

Honesty is always-that is to say, al
most always-the best policy. Erin
stance, the other day as a keen-looking
businessman, with his hat worn on the
nape of his neck, was standing on Clark
street, a simple, gawky-looking coun-
try lad of nineteen with big envelope
in his hand, and his mouth and eyes
wide open, came sauntering along, look
ing anxiously at all the signs, which he
was apparently spelling out. The busi-
ness. man. being naturally kind-hearted
and desiring to do friendly turn to a
stranger, said to the boy: "Hi, sonny,
what are you looking forP Let me see
that letter."
"Now, can't let you have that let
ter, there's bonds in it." said the boy;
"but p'raps you can tell me where
Mister Smith lives round here. The
boss told me the number, but I've for
gotten it, and the letter has got bonds
in it, and so 1 amt to give it to any
body but him."
"Why, I've been waiting for you this
half hour" said the keen business man,
as his face frightened up; waiting for
you to bring me those bonds which
bought of What's-his-nameP"
"Be you Mister Smith," said the
boy; swell, now, I'm right glad met
YOU, because I'd clean forgot what was
the number where the boss said you
lived, and wouldn't have liked to go
back to him without finding you; it
would have looked as if / was care
less"
With these remarks the lad took out
a big envelope marked 81. Smith, Esq, +,
Present." in the upper corner 80 800
U. S. $685." and in the lower corner
Commission due, S5. Please remit
by bearer"
"That's all right, sonny" said the
keen-looking business man, as he hauled
out scantily-furnished purse, gave the
boy a five-dollar bill and quarter and
said: There, sonny, that quarter is
to reward you for your cleverness and
fidelity" and, putting the envelope in
his breast pocket, he walked leisurely
round the corner, ran to Dearborn
street with the speed of a deer, skipped
lightly round to Madison, and, hailing
a car, was whirled away at a compara-
lively lightning speed. Not till he had
reached Union Park did he draw the
precious envelope from his pocket, and,
with the remark: "Pray Heaven they
are not registeredr' tear it open. He
then found that the envelope contained
a copy of the Chicago Tribune, which
he could have purchased at the office
for five cents. Meanwhile the simple
country lad, entering beer saloon in
the vicinity of the Sherman House, had
absorbed beer, salted away the five
dollar bill with seven others in his
pocket.book, and with the remark:
1.-THE fish is biting very numerously to-
day." taken another big envelope from
his pocket, and once more sailed forth
in search of a keen-looking business
Chicago Tribune.

MIR. GARHART, a Virginia. New, stage
driver, says that in his efforts to run

agents. He has borne down on them
with five-ton stage and six-in-hand on
down grade, but just as he expected
to see the air filed with wagon-grease
and spare-ribs, they would lurch under
the stage with grunt and look of sat
isfaction. In a single instance he sue
ceeded on a hog that had lodged train
of cars coming out of tunnel, but he
upset the stage, killing two passengers
and manning several for life.

ONE of the witnesses in the Hayden
trial was kind-hearted old deacon.
He testified that Hayden and himself
had talk about poison for rats, and he
also informed the minister that he had
sprinkled Paris green on his peas. "My
wife," he said, in innocent simplicity,
wouldn't let me bring the peas in the
house because she was afraid that they
were poisoned. l told her that we
wouldn't waste them-we'd give them
to some of the brethren and sisters"
Here's where the court laughed, and
also where the wonder ceases that peo-
pie are poisoned in Connecticut.
