SMELLING BOTTLES.
Long Use of Them Said to Blunt the Sense
Of Smell.


New York Times.
One of my friends, a doctor, button-ho
me the other day holding in his hand one of
those pretty little smelling bottles that some
of the charming young women of my ac-
quaintance have been greatly affecting The
doctor is a good old soul, but crotchety, very
crotchety at times. He has journeyed as
lecturer in his time, and in delivering one
of his little addresses even now he loves to
have something to use as an illustration, like
patient at one of his pet clinics twenty years
ago.
''Our women have abominable tricks, - he
began. ''They lace tightly, they wear French
heels on their pinchng little boots; they I'M
derdress the upper part of their bodies, and
drag about after them yards upon yards of
heavy trains; they ruin their digestions by
overheating and snrfeitiug themselves with
sweatmeats; they paint their faces, wear
dead women's hair on their heads, put bella
donna in their eyes, and last, but not least,
they are running some of'their most delicate
nerves by using just such denominations as
this,'' and he thrusts the smelling bottle di-
rectly under my nose.
''You see," he continued, ''ths is 4 kind
of last stage. Young ladies find after little
dissipation that their nerves are getting
shaky, and every now and then feeling of
faintness, of dizziness comes over them.
What do they do? Why, they get one of
those things and fill it up with biting salts.
The more they use it the more they like it d.
Just as it is with any other habit, it grows
upon them. Then again, the use of the
bottle enables tuem to show a trim arm and
waist TO advantage. Now, the olfactory
nerves are Just like any other. You can use
them properly and you can use them improp-
erly; you can educate them aud you can
blunt them, and bunting them is just what
these girls are doing. Powerful salts-for
the very strongest kind are used by many
have more effect by far on the olfactory
nerves than snuff or tobacco smoke. Why,
this very bottle here q have just taken it
from a patient who complained of awful
headaches) is a fair sample. Use it long
enough, my boy, and I'll defy you to dis
tinguish eau de cologne from asafetida. You
don't believe it? tell you ] have known
this very thing to happen. Extreme cases!
Oh yes, but they'll do for examples. These
smelling bottles cause headaches, sore throats
and red noses, and this last argument has
more force with my patients than all the
others com ined dozen times over Why
don't organize crusade against them.
What's the use! Haven't doctors and re-
formers been preaching against tight-lacing
for wears, and does the number Of 1S-inch
waists diminish? Haven't they proclaimed
that French heels are dangerous, and
doesn't the rule of stepladder shoes continue
unabatedi They've told the truth and made
themselves a laughing-stock. l prefer to
dissemble and be revered."

NARCOTICS AND sTINIULANTS.
The attempt to add a new text book into
the common schools, and new course of
study under the head of physiology and by
giene, with special reference to the effect of
narcotics and stimulants on the human sys-
TEN, was defeated by the house yesterday,
the bill being lost, yeas 16, nays 43.
RECoNsIDERED.
The vote by which the bill was defeated
Tuesday, appropriating $4,000 for an addi-
tional clerk for the public examiner, was re-
considered yesterday and the bill passed,
yeas 81. nays %.
STATE PARK.
The house committee OF the whole yester-
day amended the bill introduced by Mr.. Ev-
ans for state park at Minnehaha, TO provide
for the purchase of 200 instead of 300
acres, in which shape it was recon-
mended to pass. The bill simply provides
for the appointment of a commission of three
| by the governor, to examine and report the
best means to secure the lands in question,
aud appropriates 50, 600 for expenses, leav-
ing to some future legislature the question
of making the purchase and devOting the
lands to the purposes of state park. The
vote by which the bill was recommended to
pass was 80 yeas, "a nays.
THE LICK MURDERERs.
Mr.. Lienau's bill for the pardon of George
Lautenschlager, Frank and Sophia Rapp,
which has been reported back favorably by
the prison committee, caused considerable
discussion in committee Of the whole. Mr..
McKusick opposed the bill as a bad
precedent and one the Legislature
should not make. If the parties
were entitled TO pardon the gov
| ernor had the power to grant it. Mr.. Col
lester looked upon the proposition as terri
bly, dangerous experiment, an experiment
that made a serious assault upon the consti-
tutiOnal rights of the people. He further
warned the house If this was done that there
was waiting 4 somewhat similar case from
Minneapolis, in which the pardon of a man
who shut his wife in a room and shot her
would be asked for. Mr.. Pattee doubted the
| constitutional right to pass such bill, and GER
tainly that the house ought not TO interfere
until il had thoroughly examined the evil
depce upon which the conviction was had.
Mr.. Durant spoke for the BILL as did Mr. Lie
nau, the latter presenting strong petition
in favor of the proposed action, but the posi-
ton Of the lawyers was too strong and the
bill was indefinitely postponed.
HIGH LICENSE.
When the bill of Mr.. Turrell fixing license
for the sale of liquor was reached in COM
mittee Of the whole yesterday, a report Of
progress was made on the motion Of its
author himself. 1t is understood this action
was desired for the purpose Of allowing the
preparation Of an amendment providing for
a sliding scale Of licenses ranging from 5000
20 $500.
