The Sense of Smell.

Smell is the most acute by far Of
the five human senses. Take an
ounce of musk-most powerful of
scents-and leaveit where the atmos-
phere is still, open on a table, for a
year. At the end of that time, hav-
ing for full twelve months rendered
odorous the whole air in its neighbor
hood, the most delicate scales can
not detect that it has lost a particle
in weight. Yet the smell has been
infinitely distributed microscopic
portions of the musk floating off and
exciting impressions upon the nerve
papille under the delicate lining OF
the nasal passages: for this is what
smell means. The sense has grown
SUPPLEMENTARY in human beings
through want of necessity for it's use
under civilized conditions, but it is
highly probable that the cave men
had it quite as we'll developed as the

Aphorisms.

Call no man happy" says Scion
"till he is dead" Call no man un-
happy" Socrates added, "till he is
married."
If ever religion were destroyed by
reason it would be restored by emo
ton.
We more frequently think people
beautiful because we love them than
love them because we think them
beautiful. The heart is not critical.
We can sometimes forget without
forgiving, and owe a grudge though
we cannot reminder why.
1t is foolish to give our affections
to children, for others may forsake
us, but they must.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A customer was in q shoe shop the
other day to get small job of re-
pairing done, and pretty soon the
building was Jared by a fall in the
room above. The man started up
but the shoemaker explained:
''Doan' be afraid. Dot vhas only
der baby falling off der bedt. My
wife looks oudt for him."
Ten minutes later there was an aw-
full racket on the back stairs, and the
man jumped again.
"Ol, you needn't be scared" said
the shoemaker. "Dot vhas only my
son Shon falling down der back
shtairs into der yard. My wife Will
look oudt tor him."
The job had just been finished, and
the customer was putting on his
shoe, when there was jar which
started the plaster, and he was forced
to exclaim:
Great Scots! but what is it this
time?"
ooh, dot vhas only my wife falling
down in fit. You need't run AWAY.

Married After TWenty-Three
Years,

From the Stanton, Va, indicator.
Twenty three years ago Mr.. Joseph
Hamilton and Miss Virginia Hick-
man, both of Bath county, were en-
gagged to be married, but they had
lovers quarrel, and Mr.. Hamilton
left for California, where he settled in
San Deigo county. By hard work
he became a prosperous man. About
a month ago he returned to his old
home near Milborough Springs, and
in forty-eight hours after his arrival
married Miss Hickman, who had re-
manned faithful to her first and only
love. The bride is a first cousin of
the celebrated Bishop William Tay-
lor, a native of Rockbridge, and for
many years past Bishop of Africa,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton will spend the
next two months visiting relatives,
and will then leave for their Califor
MIA home.

He Never Called Again.

A stiff Englishman made a formal
call on an equally stiff English girl
down in Staten Island not long ago.
He called about .4:3O in the after
noon, and sat in one of those COM
Portable square wicker chairs. About
5 O'Clock he made a motion to rise,
but resumed his seat; the young lady
resumed hers.
She had an engagement at half
past 5, and saw the hands of the
clock near that hour. Twice the
man seemed on the point OF leaving;
twice he started to rise, twice she
rose; then he sat down again, and
she resumed her seat each time Fl
nally the half hour struck-then it
became quarter to 6. The engage
ment had not been kept. Did the
man intend to stay to dinner? He
didn't; he explained matters.
"Miss NJ" he said at last, with
considerable hemming and having,
''the-ah-buttons on the tail of my
-ah-coat are caught in the-ah-
back of the-ah-chair, and / can
not disengage them. May I-ah-
ask your assitance?"
Miss NJ. came to his assistance and
cut the buttons off instead of taking
them out of tho chair back. The
Englishman.s leave takings were
brief, and he's never repeated the call
even to this dav.-Chatter.

Bees Block q Train.

A swarm of bees created q block in
q curious manner on the Perkiomen
railroad the other day. A freight
train running between Perkiomen
junction and Allentown stopped to
take water at Palm station, twenty
miles north from here. A swarm OF
bees from neighboring m-house
had taken refuge in some woods near
by, and when the train stopped at
the station they came buzzing out
and alighted with one accord on the
tender behind the engine. The en-
gineer and his assistant in the en-
CINE and the brakeman, standing
around the train were astonishsd at
the visitation and promptly sought
safety in the waiting-room of the
station. The fireman, William
Heist, was on the engine cab at the
time busily shifting coal from one
side of the tender to the other, and
in an instant a hundred bees set up
on him. Halt mad with pain, he
jumped off the tender and rolled wild
ly in the grass at the roadside.
The schedule time for starting the
train came and went, but the crew
saw no way in which to start. They
held O consultation over the prob
lem, and finally a bright idea struck

ton, he crept softly and unconcern-
eddy up to the tender, after the man.
ner ofan experienced bee farmer, and
secured possession of the adjustable
hose with which engineers are accus-
toned to clean their cabs. He got
the drop on the bees and turned on
them a steady stream of cold water.
The effect was magical. The entire
swarm took to their wings and de-
scribed a straight line-a bee line-to-
wards the woods. The train then
resumed it's journey, fifteen minutes
behind time. Phenixvjlle. Pa.)

A "Reminiscences Of Irving.
Donald D. Mitchell ok. MarveD, in

his article on "The Country House"
(Scribner's for September), gives the
following Renaissance of Washing
ton Irving: "Mr. Irving certainly
had the rural instincts strongly devel-
oped; he loved the things of the gar
den; not the flowers only, and the
little trap of a greenhouse he had i'm
provised in a corner, but the trim
rows Of vegetables as we'll: With
what rare gusto (if may play the
reporter upon the weaknesses of a
host) he looked upon the yellowing
melons, bathing in the sunshine, and
on the purple glories of the egg

The Star Mizar.

Every observer of the heavens who
knows by name some of the bright
EST stars is familiar with the constel-
lation called the Great Dipper, visi-
BILE in the northern sky through the
whole night and throughout the
year. 1t consists of seven stars,
four in the bowl and three in the
handle. An interesting discovery
has been made by Professor Picker
ing, of the Harvard university OBJ
servatory, concerning one of the
stars of this beautiful group.
Mizar is the name o. the star. It
is tho middle star in the handle, is of
the second magnitude, and has at
tracted much attention ever since
men began to study the stars, be-
cause even to the naked eye it is
double. 1t has companion, Alcor,
plainly visible to observers endowed
with good visual power. Alcor is of
the fifth magnitude, and is about II
minutes distant from Mizar. The
tiny star seems to be growing bright
er, for the Arabians considered it
a severe naked eye test, and it is
now comparatively easy to detect.
The telescope shows plainly that
Mizar is a double star, it's compo-
nents being ofthe third and fifth mag
nitudes, the one a brilliant white, the
other a pale emerald. The marvel
Gus discovery is now made that the
larger star OF The pair is also double,
the two stars that compose it being
so close together that the telescope
cannot separate them.-Youth's

The Nun and the BURGLAR.
A remarkable instance of courage

A remarkable instance of courage
and presence of mind occurred very
recently in convent not many miles
from Charing Cross. A member of
the sisterhood-the duty being taken
in uurns-nlghtly makes g. complete
round of the building in order to see
everything secure. In one of the pas
sages she thought she saw a figure
moving, and coming nearer and
turning her lamp full on she saw a
man trying to hide. The intrepid
lady, without moments hesitation,
addressing the intruder, said: ooh,
1 am afraid you have missed your
way and come to the wrong place.
Let me show you to the open road"
The stranger followed without
word and quietly passed through the
door to the road. There was no
doubt from where he was found that
the fellow meant to abstract some
valuables.-London Telegraph.

TO THE CRICKET.

Ojdst thou not tease-and fret me to and fro,
Sweet spirit of this summer circled field,
With that quiet voice OF thine, that would
not yield
Its meaning, though unused and sought it
sol
But now am content to let it go,
To lie at length and witch the swallows
pass,
As blithe and restful as the quiet grass,
Content only to listen, and to know
That years shall turn and summers yet shall
shine.
And shall lie beneath these swaying trees,
Still listening thus; haply at last to seize
And render in some happier verse divine
That friendly, homely, haunting speech Of
thine,
That perfect utterance of content and ease.

American Asphalt.
correspondent in Cal

A correspondent in California
writes that it is mistake to sup
pose that all the asphaltum used in
this country comes from Trinidad.
Many miles of streets in California
have been paved with American as
phaltum, which is also extensively
used for the covering of wharf piles
and the coating of iron pipe as we'll
as woodwork of various kinds. The
asphaltum referred to is found at
Ventura, CAL, where the deposit is
said to be practically inexhaustible.
