big success, despite the fact of Perry's
defection-he had not even joined them
at luncheon-and it was agreed that it
should be repeated the first bright day
after muster. That ceremony came of
on Monday with due pompa and formality
and much rigidity of inspection on the
part of the post commander. 1t was
watched with interest by the ladies, and
Mrs. Belknap even proposed that when
the barracks and kitchens were being
visited they should go along. Dana had
been her devotee ever since the day Of
the hunt, and announced his willingness
to carry her suggestion to the colonel,
but Belknap declined. She wanted few
words with Perry, and did not know
how to effect her purpose. When he
stopped and spoke to her after parade on
Saturday evening and would have made

there is no denying, but the baneful in
fluence Of the bracinq drug, fhe spiritu-
Gus druuehts and the nervine is none the
less 10 be dreaded.
A Broadway druggist, whose expert
ence enables him to see through some OF
the wells Of social life, attributes much OF
the fashionable dram-drinking TO the idle
life many women lead. In his opinion,
the large hotels and apartment-houses are
filled with women who, left TO their own
resources, become addicted to the use Of
the fatal stimulant. Fancy work is out of
date, novel reading pals after a time;
even the lapdog becomes n monotonous
companion, and to kill time narcotics
and stimulants are resorted to.
A very successful clearinghouse
keeper who takes a cottage at Long
Branch every Summer tells me that she

An Invention to Test the Individual
Sense OF Smell.
DIR. Zwardemaker. of Utrecht, has
been experimenting with q simple ar
raugement he has devised for measuring
the sensibility to smell, says the Montreal
Star.
1t is simply a glass tube. turned up
to enter the nostril, and containing q
sliding cylinder of a material that allows
the passage of odors.
The extent to which the cylinder is
projected beyond the tube-that Is, prac-
tically, the amount of surface Of it ex-
posed to an odor-would measure the
keenness OF scent of different people. or
the relative strength Of DIOR from differ
emit sources to the same observer.
Trying one tube in each nostril, each
exposed to a different odor, it was found
that only one could be perceived. In
ONE cases one odor seemed to equal the
other in effect, and then there wa no SEN
sati0n Of smell at all.

CHEWING GUM AGAINST TIME.
what an Observer Learned of Chicago
Young women's Habits.

Young women's Habits.
Agassiz Murphy, one Of the many who
partake of the hospitality of the Leland
Hotel, says the Chicago Post, informed
his friends last night that he had solved n
problem which had long been bothering
him. During the month that I have
been in the city" he said, II have
crossed the State street bridge coming
south on the west side of the street at 6
o'clock every evening. And from Lake
street to Madison l have passed hundreds
of girls Just released from one of the big
dry-goods houses near there.
The remarkable thing about them was
that every one was chewing gum with the
utmost velocity. So eagerly did they
chew that rather than graduate the move
ments of their jaws to suit the words they
poured into each others ears they kept
right on chewing, two chews to the sec
ond, cutting the words in the middle or
towards the end, it all depending upon
the length of the word.
THAT girls should chew gum was not
surprising. 1t was. | knew, but natural.
The ~ferociousness of their chewing was
what struck me. Why, sometimes, par
ticularly or q dry day, the chewing made
a noise like q horse pulling q buggy
through O deep. muddy road.
~ struggled by ali methods Of reason-
ing to obtain an answer to the problem.
but I could not. 1 even ventured to ask
a mild looking, homely girl, but she was
80 busy chewing that though she APP

mystery, yet oil / could understand

has the right to expect the united

every industry is encouraged. Still
higher than this, our young girls and
women are becoming inspired with
Il love for learning and are receiving
"a consequently higher culture in
every way Mrs. Buford is gradually
overcoming the false idea that school
days are to close with "sweet six

society life and an aimless marriage
are the only alternatives. Mrs. Blu

form stroag faculty. and promise
superior results for the coming term.
In addition to piano and voice,
arrangements have been made
for instruction on the violin,
guitar and banjo, as well as in type
writing and pain sewing, china
printing and royal Worcester china
decoration have been added to the
regular art course, and if the class
would justify, provisions will be
made for home firing.
We are glad to announce that all
these advantages are open to the
pIblic, as we'll as t. the Acad-
envy pupils. Rare opportunities
are offered in music and the languages
the methods being those Of the best
