Effects Of Perfume On Health.

We learn that an italian professor has
recently made some very agreeable med
lclnal researches resulting in the discov-
cry that vegetable perfume exercises a
positively heathful influence on the at
mosphere, converting its oxygen into
ozone, and thus increasing It's oxidizing
influence. The essences found to develop
the largest quantity of ozone are those Of
cherry, laurel, clover, lavender, mint,
juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamot |;
those that give it in smaller quantity are
anise, nutmeg and thyme The flowers
of the narcissus, hyacinth, mignonette,
heiotrope and lilly of the valley develop
ozone in closed vessels. Flowers desti-
tute of perfume do not develop it. and
those which have but slight perfume do
velop it in small quantities. Reasoning
from these facts the professor recon-
mends the cultivation of flowers in nasshy
districts and in all places infected WITH
aniI-sa eui-D. tious Oh account OF tie
pos. ga. ,izuig influence Of ozone.

Fun in Camp.

The early settlers of Kentucky had to
work hard and fight often with the In
dams. Their holidays were few, bat
whenever men met some sort of physi-
cal contest was the amusement of the
occasion. A Methodist minister, who
lived in Kentucky at the beginning OF
this century, tells of a curious sport he
once witnessed-a battle with fire brands
for weapons.
He and a hundred other stalwart set
tiers were engaged in opening a road
through the forest. It was a good-nat-
ured, Jolly company. The men worked
hard all day. At night they sat round
blazing fires of huge hickory logs and
told stories of hunting bear and deer and
! fighting Indians.
One night the story-telIers seemed tc
have exhausted their yarns. The men
seemed nervous for some new excitement.
Suddenly one gave a war-whoop. a
score of yells answered. Every one
sprang TO his feet.
Two Captains were chosen, and the
men told off IN two companies. Eacl
man seized burning brand and the bat
tie began. There was but one rule Of
war-no brand should be thrown with
out fire upon it, so that it might be seen
and lodged.
For two hours the battle continued in
| perfect good nature. But, as the fires
became low, burning brands grew scarce
The rule was broken and some were Sc
verely wounded. The battle in play was
beginning to be q fight in earnest.
| Then came out the perfection of the
discipline they had acquired in Indian
wars. The loud voices of the Captains
cried "Halt p Each man dropped hi
brand. ''To camp p and in few min
utes the whole company, save the senti
neIs, were ''between their blankets"

.nral Ka1Imnr decisions.

An interesting decision was made Is
the Supreme Court of Georgia 10 favor
of the Georgia railroad. This was sui.
for SOC, 600, brought by Owens under
these circumstances He was the hOldcI
Of a through ticket, bought III BalG
more. from that place to Atlanta. IL
boarded the train in Augusta. Couduc-
tor James B. johnson took up his ticket,
and gave him stop-over ticket, allow
ing him to stop over at one point.
Ovens protested III writing, claiming
that he had the right to stop as often -
he chose. He boarded the train next
day at Barnett. Conductor Walsh then
took I'D his "stop-over" ticket. Th.s
left him without any ticket. He board
ed the train next day at Union Point,
when Conductor j. B. johnson told him
he must pay his fare or get off. He re
fused to do either, whereupOn johnson
put him off. This suit was then brought
Tor $50, 900 damages. The jury found q
verdict for the railroad.
The Supreme Court of Kansas, in the
case OF animals killed by railroad trains,
held: A railroad company is not guilty
of negligence III failing to protect the
swine In a township where they are per-
mitted to run at large, and 1t appears
from an agreed statement of facts that a
hog was killed by the negligence Of the
railroad company IN such township, and
il further appears that the negligence of
the owner in permitting the animals 10
run at large, in violation of the statute
laws, contributed directly to the injury
the negligence of the defendant was
offset by the negligence of the plaintiff,
and the owner of the animals could not
recover for the loss.
The Supreme Court of Georgia de-
cides that, in a suit against a railroad
for loss of goods shipped over it's line, it
was competent for the defendant to
prove by the agents of a connectingroad
delivery in good order to it; and, al
though the witness may never have seen
the goods, they may testify from the
books of their company, proved to have
been made In the usual order of business
and to be accurate. Also that, when 3
| writing is shown to be lost or beyond
the jurisdiction of the court, secondary
evidence of its contents is admissible.

How Ice Is Made.

Every knows that different fluids Will
boil at different temperatures. Water
boils at 212 deg Fahrenheit; ether at
95 deg. /; sulphurous acid bOils at Is deg,
or II deg. below the point at which
water freezes while ammonia in liquid
fOrA, and under the ordinary pressure
of the atmosphere, will boil at % deg.
below zero, or 60 deg. below the freez-
ing point of water. It not only vapor-
ises or bOils, as we say, at a very low
temperature, but the vapor has an i'm
mense capacity for latent heat. The
keen eye of modern science has noted
these peculiar characteristics of ammo
MIA, and machinery has been devised to
take advantage of them.
A certain amount of liquid ammonia is
introduced into the machine and assum-
ing that there is no leakage or breakage
it will do permanent duty. It will start
here, go through the apparatus, and
come back, ready TO do duty over again
as often as required. Here it is a liquid;
little further on it flies off into O gas
then 1t cOndenses into a liquid and
again little further on becomes a gas,
once more to settle into the liquid state
toward the end of its journey at the orig
inal starting point Now, if the reader
will bear in mind that liquid ammonia
on changing into gas absorbs an i'm
mense quantity of heat, and Is bound to
have it from somewhere or other, he will
easily understand that just at the points
IN the machinery where the change
takes place there will be intense cold
The ammonia, as fast as it becomes a
gas, must have caloric to generate, and
1t will suck what it requires out of the
machinery and the surrounding air, or
anything else that happens to be near.
1t Is at those points in the apparatus
where this process Is going on that we
find the icicles hanging and the little
patches of snowy-IoOking ice and boar
frost. just at these points you may re-
duee temperature to almost any degree
you please; and If you want to cool your
brine, all you have to do is to pass it
through q coil of pipe winding round
the receptacle In which the heat-sucking
process is going on; and, if you choose,
it may be made hot enough to freeze a
tank of water in a bakers oven.
Most people know that ordinary brine,
that is salt and water, requires q much
greater degree of cold to freeze it than
pure water. Hence salt cast upon Ice
or snow melts it. A solution of chloride
of lime, which constitutes the ''brine"
in this machine, may be cooled down to
so deg. below zero without freezing. In
connection with the ice-making machine,
it is not necessary to reduce the brine to
such q temperature; but after passing
through spiral pipe in the cooler" it
issues in f1igid torrent, which freezes
water more rapidly than the seYerest
winters night,

David Garrick.

One hundred and two years ago oc-
Cured the death of David Garrick, I'M
questionably the king among actors. No
historionic existence ever equaled Gar
ticks. His first appearance on the stage
vas at Goodman's Fields Theater, Oct.
%, 1741, in the part of Richard LII.
His success was instantaneous no such
acting having before been seen, he ut
once became the rage in London no So
siety was complete without him; mobiles
besieged his dressing room, begging for
the honor of his company at their houses.
Pope said he never had an equal, and
would never have rival.
The great Mrs. Porter, then retired,
went to London on purpose to hear him.
She said the youth knew more at his
first appearance than others after twenty
years training. The Duke of Argyle
declared him superior to Betterton.
Even Garrick's enemies, men who most
unjustly charged him with meanness,
admitted his wonderful genius. Among
those who repaid the actors favors with
frowns was the INSCRIPTIONS Arthur
Murphy. But even ne, when asked
what he thought of Garrick's acting, af-
ter pause, replied "Well, sir, of
the stage, he is a mean, sneaking little
fellow but, on the stage Throwing up
his hands and eyes" Oh, my great
Godp'
Garrick's first love affair is very anus
ing. He became attached to Peg WOf-
fngton, and, with her and Maeklin, an
other actor, went to keeping house, each
to be in turn housekeeper for a month.
This plan early failed, and the love attain
was soon cured. A short time after
ward he was married to Madamoiselle
Yiolstts, . dancer Of Vienna
GarHiSk's reception In France was one
OF the most wonderful of his career. AL
Paris went wild'over him. His pictures
adorned the walls Of every house.
Garrick'S last season as an actor was
in 1776. He played Richard for the
last time with Mrs. Siddons, in the pres
ence of the King and Queen. His las
night on the stage was June 10, as Dol
Felix In 1.-THE Wonder" and he retired
from the stage amid expressions of grie
and regret of the most poignant charac
! ter. Three years later-Jan. 20, 1779-
he died of q painful malady, and was
| buried in Westminster Abbey, MOBILES
bearing his pail, while poets, scholars
statesmen and artists stood uncovered
! beside his grave.
The gloriss of our mortal state
| Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no arrnGr against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on Kings.
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And IN the dust be equal made
| With the poor scyths and spade.

TbA HarsA-S Freq,

tive we're 10 go to many a black
smith and ask hin. If he did not think
nature had made a mistake in putting
the clumsy frog into the horses foot he
would hardly be ready to say yes, and
very likely would put on surprised
look, and perhaps explain that in some
countries horses did very well without
shoes, and so the frog was left to care
for itself. But while not ready to take
ground with you in any criticism of the
plan upon which the foot Is constructed,
you have but to look in the corner OF
the shop where two horses stand newly
shod lift up their feet and observe for
Yourself that, if the smith has not said
1t, the knife has said the frog Is bad
thing, and must be cut away. The
horses do not stand on the ground, but
nearly half an inch higher, ON the iron
of their shoes, and which takes the
weight of the horse on the outer shell OF
the hoof. The practice is as sensible as
it would be for man who had to travel
on all-fOurs, taking the weight on the
nails of his fingers and toes rather than
on the cushion which lies behind them.
It is always the soft part-the india rub
Der part of the feet of animals that have
such-which receives the weight, and
not the heelly, hard part. We know what
an elephants foot is it is all rubber like.
The horse has the same. incased Ia q
shell, which gives him accuracy and
Steadiness of movement. Now, this cas-
ng protects the frog. 1t grows slowly,
the frog grows rapidly. The healthy
foot of the colt shows a center, If not
projecting, at least level with tho line
of the hoof. He does not take his weight
wholly on the rim of his feet. Old horses
would have feet more like them if
blacksmiths would allow they knew q
little less than nature, and really knew
enough to read her intentions.
The object in shoeing the animal, aside
from the occasional one of changing its
gait, is simply to prevent the wear and
shattering of the outer shell, and to en-
able it to take firmer hold of the ground,
escaping the slipping Of the unshod horn.
1t Is an unfortunate incident of our sys-
tenn of shoeing that the horse is raised
from the ground as a boy is when he
mounts stilts.-Fd7nl and FETeside.

Where False Hair Comes From

Several tons Of fair hair are annually
exported from France to England and
Germany. Tho most luxuriant heads OF
hair in France are to be found among
the peasant women of Normandy. Brit
tany yields plentiful crops, but Of coarse
quality and lacking in lustsr. Limoges
and its neighborhood are productive Of
exceptionally long and glossy black
hair. Throughout the North of France
dull hues characterize the growths, a
fact which the dealers attribute to the
influence of the sea air upon the human
hair, which, in inland mountainous dis
tficts, is generally found to be dark and
bright in color, and to grow with great
Tapidity to abnormal length and weight
The French hair-dealer's chief customer
is America, whittier is annually exported
as much of the commodity in question
as is sent to Great Britain and Germany
together.
