these "hustlers" laying around now
waiting for the pay days in the various
shops, when they would reap harvest
of plumber.
At this point tho jury held consul
tatlon and reached the conclusion that
an autopsy was unnecessary; that it was
not worth while to pursue the matter
any further, and they rendered their
verdict as follows:
"That tho said unknown per
son came to his death by sharp instru-
ments in the hands of some party or par.
ties unknown, y and that such
person was killed and put near the
tracks where found. \ Wc
recommend that tho officers Of
the law take tho matter in hand as
there is strong probability of the guilty
party or parties being found out"
The jury, before entering upon the
taking of testimony, resolved that the
Interests of justice would be subserved
by having the dead body photographed
for future Identification. This was
about 800 p, M 1t was not done, how

The Art of Perfume Making.

The art of making perfumes is as old as
history itself. Before painting, music or
architecture had crystallized into art, per-
fuIne and the method of making it had
taken strong hold on all peoples. A
sacrifice OF perfume in the form of incense
was necessary part of many ancient re-
ligions. Incense was used by the Hebrews,
later by the Druids of England, and now
is in all Roman Catholic churches
The Greeks and their imitators. the Ro-
mans, all had their favorite scents, and
Irving's Life of Mahomet" tells how pas
siouately the prophet was devoted to the
deli oriental perfumes.
Tile voluptuaries of old wished to he

European CIimatic Cbanges,

From statistics which NJ Flammarion
mas gathered he shows that in every part
of France and the Continent during the
past six years the thermometer has been
getting lower and lower, the fall being
more noticeable in the spring than in the
ether seasons of the year. Great Britain
shows a similar excess of cold weather,
while strange to say Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and Russia, which we have been
accustomed to regard as cold countries,
have, during the past four years, had
higher temperature than that to which
they are accustomed.
NJ. Flammarion goes farther back than
this, and quotes history to show that in
past years many trees which once flour
ished in northern France are now found
only in the south, while others have disap-
peared altogether. Among these are named
tie lemon, which no longer grows at
Llnguedoc; the orange, which has deserted
ROussillon, aud the Lombardy poplar,
which has disappeared from the country
altogether. He also points ont that many
noted vintages have ceased TO be, owing to
the impossibility of growing the grapes
under the altered climatic conditions.
There is not now single vineyard he tells
us to be found north of Paris. Chambers
