that he does not inhale it; but alas for his
neighbors on the windward SIDE whose habita-
ton is made intolerable for hours, for this
burning process is a slow one. From gar
bage barrel l never smelt an odor half SO bad
and it soon passes from ones premises and the
streets, while this black smoke and smell per-
meates every corner, curtains and other furni-
ture, and is renewed from day to day, depriy-
ing one of the pleasure of flowers or other per-
fumes. Nothing but this sickening odor can
be recognized, till one grows wild over it. l
