"A rerfumcr's Skilled Nestrils-Soms of th
 Characteristics of BoOks

"A FertumcrS SAiiIed NoAHtN-Some or thc Characteristics of Books
 The talk drifted to the education Of the senses to higher degree than common. says the New York Tribune. and one man said: 1t is remarkable how we'll perfumer learns to recog- nize Il scent. In testing n sweet smelling liquid he vets tho base of his left thumb with q little of it. Then he rnbs the place rapidly with his right hand The alcohol in which the essence is dissolved being the most volatile, it is at once evapor- ated, and the substance which emits the odor remaining behind he can smell 1t in is purity.
 ''Of course it is an easy thing to recognize the principal odors that are in use, but when several are mixed. as is common. his task becomes more difficult Yet q skilled man can not only tell you what three or four per fumes enter into the composition of the one he is testing, but also. roughly. the relative proportions Of each"
 Tt is easy 10 tell tho relative amount of wool and cotton in piece of colored underwe when you know how" said another man. ''Men who have m de the subject speciality can do this by holding the cloth in the light and looking along it. The cot ton and wool can be distinguished by the difference in their colors, which exists. although the same dye was used for both. The untrained eye could hardly detect tho fact that the cloth had two shades. but the skill that comes from long practice makes tho thing simple.
 Anotho. oi the party who has had n great deal to do with books, told of the way in which he knew an English from an American book. "1'he books printed in England." he said. in i nearly every case have pleasanter odor than those made hero. The difference is said to be largely due to the effect of the sea air. but the kind of paste. ink, paper and binding used probably has something to do with it. There is also marked difference iu the smell of books printed in this city. would stake anything on my ability to recognize any book pub lished by a certain house in this city. merely by putting the volume near my nose.
 There are other ways ci telling who the publishers of the given book are. besides looking at the title page. Somehow every firm gi-es certain characteristic look to every volume which it issues, and skilled man can, in nine cases out of ten. merely by looking at the binding and at one oi tho pages, tell from whose presses and binderv Il work comes This. of course applies only to the larger firms. and to books printed comparatively re- ceutiy."

THE wonderful crops and the abun-
dance of general products in the United
States this year seem to be family
blessing, bestowed without regard to
where the individual members may be
located, from the arctic circle to the
gulf and covering half the world in
longitude. This is really noteworthy,
considering the hard times affecting
the rest of the world with equal impair
tiality. The salmon product of Alaska
is unusually large, and will average Is
per cent ov.r that of last year. Over
200. 900 cases of salmon will be shipped
from Alaska this season. One steamer
brought down 20. 900 cases.
