Bismarck is quoted by his Boswell

or their parents. brothers, sisters. and

yet that is what | have done, with

of DR.. Koch's discoveries to his coun-
trymen alone may be measured by
recalling that in forty years Prussia
alone lost 343. 95S lives by cholera. The
average number of deaths by con-

sents 81. $50. In the German empire

What Trained Senses Can DO.

The talk drifted to the education OF
the senses to higher degree than
common. and one man said: 1T is
remarkable how well a perfumer
learns to recognize scent. In test
ing a sweet-smelling liquid he vets the
base of his left thumb with little Of
it. Then he rubs the place rapidly
with his right hand. The alcohol in
which the essence is dissolved. being
the more volatile, is at once evapo-
rated. and the substance which emits
the odor remaining behind, he can
smell 1t in its purity.
''Of course it is an easy thing to rec
ognize the principal odors that are in
use, but when several are mixed, as is
common. his task becomes more diff
cult. Yet skilled man cannot only
tell you what three or four perfumes

relative proportions Of each"

said another man. Men who have
made the subject a specially can do
this by holding the cloth in the light
and looking along it. The cotton aud
wool can be distinguished by the diff
ference in their colors, which exists,
although the same dye was used for
both. The unframed eye could hardly
detect the fact that the cloth had two
shades. but the skill that comes from
long practice makes the thing simple
Another of the party, who has had
great deal TO do with books. told OF
the way in which he knew an English

There are other ways of telling
who the publishers of a given book
are besides looking at the title-page.
Somehow every firm gives a certain
characteristic look to every volume
which it issues and a skilled man can,
in nine cases out of ten. merely by
looking at the binding and at one Of
the pages, tell from whose presses and
bindery a work comes. This. Of
course, applies only to the larger firms

more Of the disease he actually treats

himself to ordinary, everyday diseases.
He leaves to the physician cases in

this because, In the treatment OF such

Where there is no absolute danger to
