rhe pulI sen.es of crImInals.

Some Italian observers have been re- gently testing the senses of criminals, and they find these duller than in the average of people. Signor ottolenghi, in Turin, found, last year, less acute sense of smell in criminals, and he now afiirms the same for taste, which he tested by applying bitter and sweet sub stances (strychnine and sacchrine) in dilute solution to the tongue. He finds, also, the taste of the habitual criminal less acute than that of the casual offend CT, and slightly more acute taste in male than in female criminals. Expert ments with regard to hearing were made by Signor Gradenigo (also in Turinl, and of eighty-two criminals he found fifty-five tor 67.S per cent to have less than the normal acuteness, the greatest inferiority being in the oldest. Tn fe- male criminals the relations were some- what better: fifteen out of twenty-eight had hearing under the average. The limits of variations in acuteness also appeared to be much wider in criminals than in normal persons. Ear disease was common. Signor Gradenigo attrib- utes these things to bad hygienio con- ditions of life and vicious habits.-Pall Mall Gazette

How His Wife Induced Him to Give Up
 the Habit of Smoking.
 A young benedict in this city tells good joke on himself which illustrates the influence wife has oyer her hus- band, provided she can reach his pocket book. The young husband is in charge of department of one of the larger re- tail Main street stores, and before many months hopes to become member ot the firm. He is addicted to smoking, and in a moment of weakness confessed to his wife that his cigars cost him one dollar a day. Do you smoke ten-cent cigarsy she asked He replied in the affirms- tive, and the young bride, who had ideas of her own regarding economy, asked him if he would not give her in the evening when he returned home ten cents for every cigar he had smoked during the day for pin money. She ex- plained that her idea was to break him of smoking, and as he acknowledged he wanted to quit, but did not have the courage to do so, he readily consented to the proposition.
 1T was as good as my word for one month";" he said the other evening, land kept faithful account of thenum- Der of cigars smoked each day. Some times it would be nine, but more oftener it was dozen. When the month had passed my wife informed mo that l had given her s32.

There were only two things to do, quit smok- ing or tell story every night when got home. - would hardly give mo time to put on my smoking jacket before she would say: Now, how many cigars have you smoked to-day?' Her tone expressed so much confidence that l would have to 'fess up, and at last told her that, with her permission, l would swear off. She readily consented, and l haven't smoked cigar since.

HENRY WOODEN GRADY.

4 Public Meeting at Atlanta, Ga, Voices
 the Estinstc h Which tho Ltte Henry
 Wooden Grady ws Heid - Eloquent
 Tributes to His Worth and Work by
 Prominent Georgians.
 ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 2i.-I'he citizens of Atlanta paid tribute to the memory of Henry Grady yesterday by public meeting at DeGives' Opara-lIouse' pre- sided over by the mayor, and at which addresses were delivered by many of the most prominent people of the city. The opera-house, which was crowded to over flowing, was beautifully decorated with flowers and emblems of mourning. Two large pictures of Mfr. Grady hung at the sides of the stage. The exercises were opened with prayer The Chi Phi reso- lutions were then read.
 Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, was the first speaker. He described Grady as the most gifted and useful public man of his day Mir. Walsh reviewed Grady's brilliant career as an editor and orator and added: His last speech was an impassioned and eloquent plea for the solution of that great problem | which the South alone can solve. It was not to oppress the colored man, but to elevate him; to enable both races to 1 live in peace and to work out their mis- sion in the regeneration of the South. What he so eloquently said in Boston represents the firm conviction of his | Southern countrymen, and his death but emphasizes the truth and force of his | position. The South mourns, and the | North deeply sympathizes with us in the death of him whose last public utter ance so touched the patriotic heart, and the response comes from all sections of reunited people and restored Ma | tions"
 Hon. Benjamin Hill, in the course of fervent tribute, said: Henry Grady was the great sun of the South, under whose fervid eloquence the North was melting into patience, justice, sympathy and love. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the great hope of the coun- l try
 l Hon. Julius l.. Brown, Hon. Albert Cox, Judge Howard Van Epps, Walter B. Hill, of Macon, and Prof. H. C.White, | of Athens, followed in heartfelt eulogy of the departed.
 John Temple Graves, of Rome, deliv- cred short address of such remark able power and beauty that cheer after cheer arose, and as he closed a voice cried: There is Henry Gradys successor"
 I Governor Gordon, who was the last | speaker, said in the course of his re- marks: Ut is no exaggeration to say l that the humblest and highest, the poorest and richest, all classes, colors and creeds, with an unspeakable sor- l row, mourn his death as public calam- | ity. It is no exaggeration to say that no man lives who can take his place. It is no extravagant eulogy to declare that scarcely any half-dozen men by | tLeir combined efforts can fill in all de partments the places which he filled in his laborious and glorious life"
 The young mems monument fund started two days ago now reaches S7, 900. Several S1o0 subscriptions were received yesterday from New York and
 Boston.
