Chicaaa Newnnaper Man.

Tho vi1est Smell Ever Encountered by a
Chicago Newspaper Man.
In strolling around city one enconn-
tiers a good many evil smells, says the
Chicago Journals Sidewalk Stroll Ter.
Among them may be mentioned fish,
kerosene, carbolic disinfectants, onions,
gas, and a good many much worse. But
the vilest smell that l ever encountered is
the smell of cloves on mans breath.
like to pick up a handful of cloves and
smell them, and to many table dishes
cloves impart a delicious flavor. But
cloves on mans breath make me deadly
sick at the stomach. The reason is toler-
ably clear. They are taken into
the mouth to keep down worse
smell, and they don't even do
that; they simply produce
smell compounded of vileness and fra
GRANGE. The effect is like pouring cologne
water on a dung-hill. When 1 smell
cloves on a mans breath my first thought
is, "That man is fool" He thinks he is
concealing the smell of whisky or some
other vile smell, and he is only advertis-
ing it. There is another reason, also,
why he is fool. The oil of cloves, which
is expressed from them by chewing them,
is an active solvent of the enamel of the
teeth. Any one who chews cloves will
soon notice that it makes the teeth ten
der. That means that their enamel Is
disappearing; and the next step is a
mouthful of decayed teeth, which all the
odors of Araby the bIest can never
sweeten. When will people learn that
the sweetest and rarest smell of all is no
smell at all.

OLDEST ON RECORD.
Two Cases of Longevity Un para1le1ed
Any Account of History.

Two Cases of Longevity On paralle1ed in
Any Account of History.
In 1868 was at the mouth of Red
river, on the ram Samson, of the Mis-
sissippi squadron, in the capacity of
surgeons steward in charge" In
that capacity. and while catering for
| the ward-room mess, / had occasion
to go ashore frequently. and naturally
enough / found plenty of practice
among the blacks of the Franklin es-
tate on the east bank of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river. / well recollect on several
occasions seeing an old negress at the
quarters. and on entering into CONVEX
sation with her / found her to be very
intelligent and quite spry, and asked
her:
'.Aunty, how old are you?'
''Doctah, is one hu ndred and forty
years old.
care you sure of that, aunty?"
Yes. sir, is. I was a grandmoth-
er during the Revolutionary war;
To test the matter / asked her some
questions about matters connected
with the revolutionary struggle and l
made me believe that she was not
much out of the way. She gave me
another genuine surprise. however.
when. OF pointing to another ex-slave,
she made this query:
'Doctab. does you see dat gal?"
Yes, aunty, DO" I answered.
"Well, doctah. dat gal is one hum
dred and twenty years old. | nussed
her when she was Il babe"
Now here are two instances of
longevity that, l think. are unpar-
alleled in any record of history. In all
my interrogations could get no con-
tradictions from her. and came to the
conclusion she was about right. Both
women were very active and in good
health, and babe fair to last at least
another decade. / left the Mississippi
squadron at the close of the war, and
the last saw of them they were taking
care of the house they lived in and
picaninnies of other negro women that
were toddling around. Cor. ST. Louis
(J{Obe- Democrat
