This is the time of perfumed breaths.
A woman expends many dollar on lit
tie capsules that the Willy druggist has
been at great pains 10 concoct. and she
ever after breathes upon you compost
ton OF delicate odors that makes one
conjure up all the very good things 10

1t is most dainty fad whichever way
you look at it, and one that cannot have
one word said against It.
Perhaps If they would just spend "a
little more time on teeth and throat they
would not need so many perfumery
things to make them sweet; but that is
neither here nor there, and as Lord
Byron says woman should be gotten up
like a bouquet, let the girls revel In
sweet smells, in perfumes and powders
for the hair, for of course you know
ones powder rubbed into the roots of
the hair and then carefully brushed out

the locks that is simply enhancing. and in
extracts and toilet waters for the dainty
bodies, but we beg that the heavy odor
of musk and patchouh be left out Of the
category, or else that the devotees OF such
sitting perfumes take pity ON poor hu-
manity and religiously avoid crowded
theaters or moro closely packed street
cars, where one grows positively faint
by an overwhelming scent that drives
every other thought or surrounding from
the mind.-Philadelphia Times.

a, Adventure with Turties.

A boy at Newark, N. j., found two
swapping turtles on Sunday morning
and started to carry them home. In
crossing garden he was met by the
owner, who poured out q volley Of
broken English upon the lad. The boy
stood his ground bravely and returned

them close to his bare leg. The turtle
seized the lad by the left calf and held
on with the tenacity of q bulldog. In
writhing around the boy brought the
other turtle In contact with his right leg,
and he, too, took hold. The gardener for
got his anger and with the aid Of his

turtles from their hold. The muscles Of
both calves were badly lacerated. Phil

"a Great Climate"

The Georgia weekly editors will re-

week, having returned from their west
ern excursion. One of them relates an
amusing incident of buggy ride in
Texas A local committee was conduct
ing number of editors over several
large and scientifically arranged farms.
While the members of the committee
were praising the soil and climate OF
Texas in extravagant terms, n sand
storm, accompanied by 6rst-class cy-
clone, lifted horses and buggies in tho
air, bearing all of them along in cloud
of sand at the rate of a mile minute.
While they were going it at this rate

a bear Flsh. wl.hoa. Blooa.Aea.

Alexander Wallace, who looks after
the camp out on Boone's mountain, which
is kept up for the convenience and CON-
fort of hunting and fishing parties, had
an exciting experience with bear few
days ago. He started out with an ak
on his shoulder to find bee tree, and
when about q mile from camp, while in
q dense laurel thicket, through which
his course led him. he ran onto couple
of bear cubs. They Immediately set mp
q howl of distress and moment later
the old mother bear came running to
their rescue with her mouth wide open.
Wallace raised his AK 20 strike, but it
caught in the laurel bushes with which
he was thickly surrounded, and the blow
which the bear received was only suffi-
cient to aggravate her. She opened her
mouth foot or two wider. so that Wal
lace said he could see clear into her
stomach, and tried to get Wallace be-
tween her jaws. But he kept striking
at her with the ak in his cramped posi-
ton until one of the cubs, which in the
meantime had run away, began to whine
In q pitiful way, when the old bear
turned around and ran off, apparently
thinking its offspring had gotten into
new danger. Thus the fight ended with
ont bloodshed on either side. Wallace
was very willing to quit, and straight
way proceeded to make himself scarce

Rol.l Jackala.

The residents of Howrah have been
finding lately that jackals are animals
of anything but an attractive temper.
In some cases they have come right up
to the bungalows in search Of prey. A
little girl, aged about Ave years, was
playing in q veranda when a jackal
suddenly rushed on her and was drag
ging her away when she was rescued.
She was severely bitten. Three natives,
while walking along the Kooroot road,
were attacked by a jackal, which was
only driven off after stubborn fight.
and tale is told of two women, while
standing near tank, being attacked
and bitten. So serious has the state of
matters become that the public propose
to submit memorial to the district
magistrate praying for the adoption OF
measures for the destruction of these
pests. Pioneer Mail.

hydraulic resting.

A plant for hydraulic testing purposes
is to be installed near the town Of San
thia, Italy. The proposed establishment
is intended for the determination of
many points at present more or less OBJ
scure in the flow of water through large
sluices. It is to be located between the
Cayour and the Cigiiano canals, where
the requisite volume of water for such
experiments can be easily obtained, the
Cigliano canal being elevated about 6SH
feet above the Cavour canal. The pre-
liminary plans provide for the construc-
ton of large and small sluice, measur-
ing basins and weirs, and accommoda-
ton for the testing of all kinds of by

One of the residents of Ninth between
G and d streets northeast has appealed
to the police without success for some
relief from what he considers nuisance.
Some of the unimproved ground in that
section is being worked in corn and po-
tatoes, and the latter has become infested
with bug or worm. To save the pota-
toes the grower used paris green and
drove them off, and the migration was
directly toward the house Of the COM
planning neighbor. Had the worms stop
ped at the building line 1t would have
been all right, but right up his steps into
the parlors and bed chambers they went
in search of something tender and green
to feed upon, and their presence became
intolerable. Then Lieutenant Hefner
was appealed to and advice asked, but
he could give none other than 10 sweep
them out. 1t was suggested that he
might use paris green to drive them off,
and he went off in search OF that article.
