THE psRFUMER'S ART.

&c" Ia Brooklyn Eagie.l
The art of the perfumer is shown in
delicaiely combining different scents
When we walk in a garden the delicious
odors that greet US are by no means the
emanation of one flower All the blooms
of the garden more or less. add to the
general harmony that strikes SO gratefully
upon the olfactory nerves they reach US
in such infinitely small particles that no
one scent overpowers the other. When
art attempts to initiate the diluting effect
Of the breeze she has to be more circum.
spect Only odors Of similar octave, as
a recent writer has pointed out, will agree
with each other Another authority, in
deed. has elaborated the idea and has con-
ponnded perfect gamut of odors, begia-
ming with civet, verbena and eitgonella in
the treble c'ef, and ending with wall
flower, vanilla and patchouly in the bass

The ingenious originator Of this idea
well remarks The odors have TO be re.

mark that odors do fix themselves upon

their olfactory nerves, often make pur
chases amounting to thousands The tea
merchant, the tobacco dealer or the hop
merchant takes one sniff st the commodity
in which he deals. and makes his purchase
without fault
The writer quoted goes on to say, AN

Negro and African.


1t Is common mistake to regard the
term negro as synonymous with African.
The word egro does not denote q nation.
but an ideal type constituted by the as
semblage Of certain physical Characters

portions Of Africa and their descendants

In Africa the area occupied by the gen
uine negro, men with back skin. thick
lips. depressed nose. and woolly hair is
exceedingly small compared with the re.
mainder of the continent As rule the
revalent color in Africa is that of the
Arab. the Indian. and the Australian. The
true negro districts are the Senegal, the
Gambia, the Niger, and the intermediate
rivers of the coast. parts of Sudanis, Sen.

-Four papers are published Sunday morn
ing for social news, while the daily journals
here and elsewhere have society reporters
who are giving more attention to such mat
teFs than ever before. They are very active
ly assisted by the society people themselves,
and about half the matter published is con-
tributed by those who are referred TO in the
lines they write
Sunday papers last Friday received a sam
pie Of the latest thing in stationery, upon
which was written in the angular hand that
is so fashionable the following:
The most dashing and brilliant belle AT
the reception of Mrs. Wilson was the
the daughter of Congressman Blank, who
has assumed leading position in Washing
ton society. Her beauty was remarked by
every one, and was heightened by her
costume, which was gown of ivory white
corded silk, with square bodice of corded
velvet. The Marie Stuart collar was edged
by small red beads. A rich drapery OF
thread lace was festooned over the front
and held by panels of the velvet In her
corSage was jeweled shepherds crook
and in her hair silver dagger and gold
arrow, in the center of which shone an i'm
mense carbuncle."
The communication was anonymous. but
the editor knew where ii came from. and
knew that Its publication meant the sale of
a hundred copies or 50 of his paper, which
would be sent to all of the family friends.
Another similar anony nous letter Tin which
have taken the liberty to alter the names)
read as follows:
Miss Genevieye Jones, daughter of Gen.
George Jones, of the army. was one of the
prettiest girls and greatest bellies at the army
and navy german Monday night. She is
tall and slender, and her gown of rich
cream crepe, garnished with handsome Es-
curial lace and Msrechal Neil buds, was
most becoming to her brunette type"
And here is third which was contributed
by the brother of the young lady named:
Among the most noted bellies at the army
and navy german last Monday night was
Miss Pauline Aklen. of Tennessee She has
face of flower-like delicaey and coloring
and a classic head poised on lovely neck
She wore an aesthetic gown of white lace,
and her powdered hair aocentuated the
youthful beauty of her face. The toilet of
