Animal Love for Lavender.

A short cut to the heart of any of the
large felide, writes the Rev. j. G..
Wood, is to be found in lavender water,
a fact which I discovered by accident
The late Mrs. Lee, whose leopard Sal
was so interesting an inmate of her
household, trained the animal almost
wholly by taking advantage of its love
for this perfume. So, wanting to be on
good terms with the leopard Old Man,
took some lavender water with me.
Before giving it to the leopard, I
thought that I would try the. effect on
Bessy, q fine, tigress; ;Swhoshas for some
time been&gsry gracious in her conduct
toward me. Tpoured- 4a~few drops of
the perfume on small piece of brown
paper, and held it to her. She first gave
prolonged sniff, and then scraped the
paper out of my hand, and laid it on the
floor of the cage. First, she shifted at
it repeatedly, raising her nose high in
the air after every sniff. Then she tore
it into little pieces, which she strewed
over the floor. Then she rolled over and
over on the perfumed fragments, giving
series of mufied yelps Of delight, and
then began leaping all over the cage,
springing up until her head struck
against the root, turning over in the air,
and coming down on the boarded floor
with mighty thump, as might be ex-
pected from an animal weighing more
than three hundred pounds.
Next, tried the effect on the leopard
Old Man, who occupied the next cage,
and found that he was even more pow
erfully effected than the tigress, slobber.
ing over the perfume until the floor of
the cage was quite wet, and rolling over
and over, exactly as his neighbor had
done. Meantime Empress, who occu.
pied cage on the opposite side of the
building, had scented the lavender water
from distance, and was loudly express.
ing her opinion that she had been shame.
fully neglected. So 1 gave her liberal
dose of the perfume, and she, being only
young thing, and unaccustomed to
self control, straightway proceeded to
60 mad over it.

used in Egypt ages ago, have been re-

railroad track on the south side of the

near approach of car, the little fello"
in turning fell directly across the track
The horses passed over the boy with,

could be done, a dog, sitting with his
mater at the corner of the market house,
rushed to the child and pulled it from

were about to crush it.

In the last six months there has hardly
been day when New York city employ
ment bureaushav not had twice as many
applications on hand for servants as for
places. Comparatively few girls will
take places where heavy work is re-
quired. A great many ladies go down
to Castle Garden and get their servants.
Occasionally they get prizes, but they
run a great risk. Nearly every boarding
house in town has at least three or four
employment agencies constantly on the
watch for them for help. The wages
paid now are higher than at any time in
many years. From SIS to $50 month
with board and lodging are the regular
rates. The chief complaint received at
the employment bureaus is that after the
housekcepers in private families have
been to a good deal of trouble and spent
considerable time in training them into
good servants from an ignorant and un-
couth condition, the girls leave to be.
come chambermaids in big boarding
houses or hotels, where there is more
excitement, but not near as good g
home.

London is to be 210 feet wide and 1000
feet long. There are to be several
smaller structures, including an art gall

of steel rails in structures of this kind is

Drinking His Health.

Every time Louis XIV. went hunting
forty bottles of wine formed an indis-
pensable palt of the impedimenta. It Is
true the King never drank himself on
such occasions; while his courtiers inva-
riably tested their loyalty by tossing of
copious draughts to the health of their
royal master. One day, however, Louis,
feeling thirsty, quite unexpectedly called
for glass of wine. A iootman stated,
in great alarm, that there was none left.
"Were not forty bottles brought with US
to-day. as usual2" ooh, yes, your Ma
jesty; but they are all drank" These
in future" quietly replied the King,
"take torty-one bottles, so that there
may be at least one left for me"-&. 81

Anomalies of Smell.

Peculiarities Of the sense OF smell form
a subject { efnvestigation by MIR. Arthur
Mitchell, Of Edinburgh. Among those
observed thus far is that of a person who
smells nothing from bed + mignonette,
and of another who perceives no odor
from the bean field, the sense being 9TH
erwise acute and discriminating in both
cases. Another person can discover no
difference between certain odors which
are very different to others; while there
are persons who are sickened by certain
odors which usually give pleasure. A
considerable number of persons seem to
be altogether destitute of the sense OF
smell; and on the other hand there are
a few who have the sense very strongly

1t seems almost impossible thatin any
part of America region which is sup
posed to contain much gold and silver
ore should remain unmolested by seekers
after wealth on account Of religious
sentiment. Yet this is said to be true OF
a conical mountain called La Buffa,
which is near the city of Zacatecas, Mex
leo. The mountain towers up 500 feet
above the city, is very precipitous, and
has huge cross on its summit. "But
its treasures" says writer in the Phila-
delphia Record who describes the hill,
''are safe from molestetion for genera
tions to come, because rendered sacred
by the belief of the little church on the
summit. The residents believe that the
Blessed Virgin-here called sour Lady

A Spaniard is said to have solved the
problem of perpetual motion on the
Archimedean principal of the pressure of
liquids. Liquids have been known to
give something like perpetual motion to
some mems arms, but the usefulness of
such result has been more than ques-
tionable. But if the Spaniard has real
ly discovered the mechanical process of
unending motion he is a benefactor to
his race. The problem of perpetual mo-
ton has been one of the most fatal sci
