Eyes" was the reply, "and very
pretty woman she was. too"
"Oh. As for that" said the clerk.
shes pretty enough, but did you
notice what she bonght?"
MOT rticuli,rly." was the reply,
hut | thought il WAS cologne. or
frrfnmc of some kind
so il was" said the clerk, "bu,
she does not buv the cologne for per
furning purposes, although she nu,s
nuch more of it than anv other half
dozen persons who trade at this
sfure."
What then does she do with it it
she does not Hse it for perfuming
pnrposes?" ventured the reporter.
ITO get drunk on" WIS the laconic
answer.
IT, get drunk on!"
Yes, that's what l said. You
never have heard of cologne drunk
ards. then. Well. that woman is a
cologne drunkard. and one of the
worst of them. too. She buvs from
one to two dozen of thuse long slim,
i'ottles of AN cologne everv week.
and she takes 1t entirely herself"
"How does She take il ?''
"As ~ rple on Jumps of sugar, at
least | suppose she does, for that il
the usual custom of cologne takers.
They saturate number of Jumps of
sugar with the fluid and carry them
.bout with them When las il the
case with whiskey drnukard) they
feel as if they needed a drink they
will take one or two Jumps of sugar
and. letting 1t dissolve in the mouth,
they will get sort of an imitation
of pcrfumed whiskey and sugar and
water. Yon know, of sourse, thar
the base of the cologne is alcohol,
and for most people alcohol is alto
gether too strong to be taken raw.
and this ia one of the reasons WHY
the sugar is used
Another reason, I suppose, is be
cause it Is easier to carry about, and
can be taken without detection when
on the sugar. Some of the cologne
users, and there are great many,
can drink their liquid raw, and those
who have arrived at that stage can
rink pure alcohol or almost any
thing else, except perhaps, sulahuric
or some kindred acid"
Are many men addicted to the
habit?" was asked.
Mo, l have never heard of single
case of a man taking cologne, but
there are many women who make a
regular practice of it, and great
many of the drug stores have regular
customers whom they supply with
different brands of cologne and per-
fume. BY far greater portion of
them. however. use this 4Tll. which

thing appeared serene in that quarter, yet
Rogers felt resentful-at what he hardly
knew. He tried once to trap Patterson
into turning his crank by an allusion to
anarchy made directly at the young man. J.
"Oh, went in for anarchy myself once"
said the intrepid Patsy. lightly; "but the
difficulty of finding any one who under
stood what was after bored me, and
dropped it. Anyway, fads should be treat
ed only as temporary expedients for enter
tainment. and when they are in the nature
of an ism they should not be given much
serious thought, unless, by the way, it is
hypnotism. Now, a medical friend of
mine" and in moment Patterson had
the whole company listening to stories of
strange experiments in hypnotism.
His success lasted all the evening.
After dinner there was music, and Pat
terson sang with Fannie-the beggar had a
melting baritone voice. He even managed
a tete-a-tete with that Winsome young WO-
man, and the exhilaration of his success
gave tender tremor to the nothinRs he
SAID, and,well, Fannie was young, and
have said he was handsome.
Poor Patsy! He sat long time in his
room that night, still in his soft, clinging
dress suit. He hated to take it off, he was
another man in it; he almost felt that he
had right to think of Fannie 80 long as he
retained the conventional garb that was a
part of his evenings experience.
He changed his dress slowly and went
down town to supper with the boys. When
PaRet heard the story of how Patsy fooled
the "old man''-there was no mention of
Fannie in the story--the little chap yelled
with delight and declared it was better
fake than the red necktie.
"You see, Frank, there was some wisdom
in my sending Fannie in with your reformed
anarchist-the handsome young rascal-in-
stead of with Mr.. Barker said Mrs. Rogers,
when the managing editor came home
shortly after the following midnight; lit
brought Mr.. Barker around here this even
ing. and he will ask you for Fannie to-mor-
row"
'And Fannie?''
"Oh, she has been talking sentimental
nonsense to-day about that Mr.. Patterson,
but We need not ask him here any more, let
him return to-anarchy."-Ed w.
Townsend, in the Arqonaut.

Senator Faulkner's S p 9 g c h
against the Blair Bill was a manly
defense Of the people of West
Virginia. Senator Blair means
we'll and his efforts to divide with
the South the heavy burden Of
educating the negro, should be
fully appreciated by the Southern
people. Yet the aid must be de-
clined. If the South ever expects
to gain the position she once held
in the Union, she must make up
her mind to tread the wine press
alone, and solve for herself the
problem, Of making a citizen Of
the negro. Any interference from
the people who do not understand
the habits and superstition of the
negro, will only tend to postpone
his education.

Whistling for Seals.

F. F. Payne, of Toronto, records in
tie american Naturalist an interesting
fact which often came under his notice
during a prolonged stay at HudsonS
Strait. Here" he says, ~.ithe Esqui.
mau might often be s Seen lying at full
length at the edge of the ice foe, and
although no seals could be seen, they
persistently whistlcd in low note, SINH
lar to that often used in calling tame
pigeons, or, if words can express my
meaning, like plaintivc phcw-ew, few,
few, the first note being prolonged at
least three seconds. If there were any
seals within hearing distance they were
invariably attracted to the spot, and it
was amusing to sec them lifting them
selves as high as possible out of the
water and slowly shaking their heads, as
though highly delighted with the music.
"Hcre they would remain for some
time, until one, perhaps more venture
some than the rest, would come within
striking distance OF the Esquimau who
would often change the seals tonc OF JOY
to one of sorrow, the others making OH
as fast as possible. The whistling had to
be continuous, and was more effective if
performed by another Esquimau a short
distance back from the one lying motion
less at the edge of the ice. I may add
that the experiment was often tried by
myself with the same result"
