she tore the letter up slowly, and
watched the bits floating down one

The Sense of Smell.

The sense of smell is by no means
30 developed in man as in dogs, cats
and other animals. but it is often alb
normally keen in individuals de
prived of other senses. Blind deaf
mutes, for example, can recognize
their friends and form an opinion
about strangers solely by means OF
this sense. Possibly, however, ami
mails are only sensitive to certain
smells while unconscious of others
that affect us. If this be the case,
they would naturally be able to fol
low up one particular scent more
easily Than a man, this scent to
which they are sensitive being to
them less confused with others

There is endless diversity in the shane

to get more elaborate and beautiful every
season. There are ethereal tea gowns.

Cashmere is just as popular material

An eccentric gown was made of pale
yellow cashmere yelled in front with
white lace and ornamented with float
ing ends of brown velvet falling in
stripes from the neck to the hem of the
skirt. The ribbons were held in place
at the waist by the girdle.
A gorgeous French model was of vel
vet in one of the new intermediate
shades of brown, with broad panel of
palest blue and gold brocade on each
side. 1t had an immense collar and a
long train set in plaits just below the
waist. The front was cut in new style
with long narrow ends like mantle,
and fringed with iridescent beads The
most beautiful gowns are generally made
of diaphanous fabrics.

Origin of Leap Year Proposals.

Some one asked me the other day what
was the origin of women proposing mar
riage during leap year. looked it up
and while it may not be new to all tdare
say it will interest many. In the yeal
1888 statute was published by the
Scotch parliament, of which the follow
ing is copy, and is, to my mind, the
origin of the custom or idea. do not
know that it is custom or ever was:
sit is ordaint that during the reign OF
her maist blessit majestic, Margaret, like
maiden, ladee of bath high and low es-
tate, shall haze liberty to speak to the
man she likes. Gif he refuses to take
her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in
the sum of ane hundredity pounds or
less, as his estait may bee, except and
alwais gif he can make it appear that he
is betrothit to another woman; then he
shall be free"
After the dear old Margaret had
passed away the women became clamor-
GUS for their privileges, and to appease
them another act of parliament allowed
them the privilege every fourth year

question will be asked, What gave rise to

were thrust into an equally tiny muff Of

Bangles Are Unlawful.

The stringing of small coins to form
bangles or bracelets has been decided t.
be fraudulent mutilation of lawful mon
ey, and even the piercing of coin for use
as watch chain pendant is held to be al
offense. 1t is well to bear this in mind
because it is in opposition to the old coun
try maxim that there is no offense in cut
ting a coin unless it is subsequently offered
as money, and prima facie case Of fraud
thus established.

coins in them, for even if there were no

The devotion to this high principle of
