Origin Of a Swee, Perfume.

The introduction of the perfume
called patchouly was caused by the de-
sire of French shawlmakers 20 deceive
their customers. When .shawls were
first brought from india they we're
perfumed with patchouly, an extract
of an Indian plant. The French soon
learned to initiate the shawls to per-
fection, but the patchouly bothered
them, as they could find no substitute
for it, and this fact was used as the
surest means of distinguishing the
genuine India shawls from the French
counterfeit. At last somebody discov-
cred the secret and brought quantity
of patchouly to France. For time
the discoverers kept the matter TO
themselves and reaped harvest; then
some one gave way the secret. The
perfume soon became popular and has
never since passed completely out of
use, though several times superseded
temporarily by other perfumes. Chi

A general belief in the divine char
acter and healing powers of the sacred
serpent is to be met with all over
Egypt. Even the myths which the old
Egyptians associated with the snake
are still prevalent Egyptians of all
classes still believe that when "a SER
pent grows old wings grow out of its
body" and that there are serpents
which kill by darting flames in the vic
TINS face. How old such beliefs are in
this country need not be repeated to
those who have seen the pictures in the
tombs of the kings at Thebes. The
seref, or "Aying serpent" and the
snake from whose mouth flames issue
are among the commonest of the fig
ures painted on their walls. It is not,
however, rs Kakodacmon, but ms

Of ancient Egypt still maintains his
chief hold on the belief of the Egyptian
people. Each house still has its hsr-

known as the harras elbet, "the pro-
tector of the house." The snake is fed
with milk and eggs, and care is taken
not to do it harm. Chicago Herald.

A Notable Engineering Feat.

) A notable engineering feat was ac-
oomplished few days ago in the COM
pletion of the boring of the Busk-Ivan-
hoe Railway tunnel under the con-
tinental divide of the Rocky Mountains
at Hagerman Pass, Col. The tunnel
is almost two miles long-9993 feet
and is through solid gray granite. 1t
took three years and twenty days, of
twenty hours work each day, to bore
the big hole. 1t is 10000 feet above
sea level, through the top ridge of the
continent The water draining from
the one side of the mountain under
which it is driven runs to the Atlantic
Ocean and from the other to the
Pacific. Its construction has cost
81, 900, 900 and twenty human lives. The
tunnel, which is on the line of the
Colorado Midland Railway, the Santa
Fe's central route to California, sub
stitutes two miles of track for ten and
does away with one of the most ex-
pensive railway climbs in the world. =

Fifty per cent. OF the young men of Switz-

count of injury to their health and strength
Produced by excessive drinking.
A drunken man never yet was formidable

sober, respectable man is a moral law which
the wise submit to, and fools only resist.
The fifth statistical report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for 1892, gives the

States as 621, Ais. An important temperance

In the name of the Scottish Christian

Medical men are becoming more and more
