A Baming Scont.

A case of battling scent has just been
oddly worked out in an up town household.
The smell was noticeable at certain point
on every staircase from the basement to the
top floor. and evidently affected a certain
current of air which went vertically
through the house. Plumbers were called
In one after another, who followed the
mistress up and down the stairways, sniff

that was unacceptable, but bore a GER

matter, sewer gas, or almost any uncom-
Portable and m~enacing thing.
One plumber staked his reputation on
the dead-rat-in-the-wall issue, and his
faith was so contagious that the house.
keeper only waited to have him locate the
spot where the wall should be torn away
to begin operations. As the smell persist
ed in clinging impartially to all three
staircases, it was obviously impossible to
tear the house down.
And finally the mystery was solved by
the hunt for a lost roller skate. A built
in refrigerator, which was not used as an
icebox, stood directly beneath the curve of
the basement stairs; o n the top of this,
thrown back in the shadow, was the skate,
and it was the imperfectly tanned leather
heel of the skate which was creating all
the odorous disturbance. -,

The word kiss" is Anglo-Saxon and
may, indeed, be taken as an instance of
how pleasant Anglo-Saxon can be. The
philologist assures us that it is allied to
the Gothic kustus, a proof or test, and to
the Latin gustus, q taste, which suggests
the old saying, that "the proof Of the pud-
ding is the priein o't." That same Gothic
kustus comes from the verb kiusan, to
choose, from which one would image that
among the Goths kissing went by favor.
According to Professor Skeat, writing
with all the austerity and scholarship Of
an expert, a kiss is "a gust, a taste, q
something choice. GOOD Words.

obscot on the steamer Governor Bodwell,
and informal receptions were held at a few
places, but the great pleasure of the chief
justice consisted in meeting his old class
mates and friends.
His legal career began in Augusta, Me-,
in 1856, when he was but twenty-three
years old, and he was elected city attorney
and president of the city council as soon as
admitted to the bar. He was, however, so
deeply engaged in journalistic work as to
leave him little time for law practice, so
the same year he emigrated tt Chicago
and formed Il partnership with Samuel A.
Dow, another native of Maine, and George
L. Pearson. The senior members gave
young Mr.. Fuller his choice of a share in
the proceeds or a salary of fifty dollars a
month, and the fact that he took the
salary indicates that the firms business
was moderate. Three years later, how
ever, Mr.. Fuller became an attorney be-
fore the state supreme court, the partner
ship was dissolved and his subsequent rise
is matter of history.

Interesting Facts About Negroes.

Some interesting figures and deductions
based upon the disproportionate increase
of the white and colored population of the
United States are given by the New York
Independent. The colored population of
the United States is now about 7,4OO, 900,
Upon this basis the net increase in ten
years has been about $4,000, or a little
over II per cent, which is very low, the
rate of increase in the aggregate popula-
tion being A.86. In the sixteen old slave
states, including West Virginia, with the
District of Columbia and Oklahoma, there
are about $4,000 OO negroes, leaving only
$4,000 for the remaining twenty-eight
states of the Union. In 1880 there were
$4,000 negroes outside of the old slave
territory. According to the present CEN
sus, the changes of ten years have only
added 72.000 to these figures.
The Independent arrives at the following
conclusions: l. The negro population is
practically confined to the old slave terri.
tory, and shows little inclination toward a
general distribution. The race problem
must be dealt with on the basis of this
fact. 2. The rate of increase OF the negro
is below that of the whites, even in the
most favorable conditions. 1t is consid-
erably less than half the percentage of in.
crease maintained by the whole popula.
ton. This low rate of increase is not ex.
planned by immigration from abroad. In
South Carolina and Mississippi there are
fewer foreign born whites than in 1880,
and in Alabama and Georgia the increase
in this element does not aggregate 13, 1000.
Only in Texas is it considerable; there it
reaches about $1,000. 3. The tendency Of
the black population is southwark OF
southwestward and not northward from
the border states.
