The use of incense in the early Chris
tian church would appear at first to have
met with strong opposition, and in the
statements of the early fa-
theirs we see the traces of warm contro-
verSy. That enthusiastic arch@Ologist,
Didron, in his 'Annales Acknowledgements, "
has collected n wealth of information bear
ing on the use of perfumes in the different
Christian rituals. Writing as n pious
mCdiHvalist, he contrasts the pagan abuse
IF perfumes ministcring TO their widest
orgies, with their more spiritual and re
lined employment in the service of the
church.
Certainly at no time has the cult of per-
fumes been carried to higher point than
that reached by the wealthy Romans of
the empire. Witness the important part
that they play in the anecdotes of feasting
and fast" life which we find scattered
through the pages of Apuleius, Petronius
Anthcn9us and Lucian.
In his Banquet" AthenRus quotes an
authority who recommends that the legs
should be washed with an Egyptian per-
fume taken from II box of gold, the mouth
and the breast with liquor made from
dates, the arms with mint, the eyebrows
and hair with marjoram, the knees and
the neck with thyme. " In these debauches
de l'odorat the very vessels from which
they drank, brought at great expense from
Egypt, were manufactured from perfumed
clay and fire in kiln heated with aroma

1.-The Snowman Barnum was always
equal to situation" said Saratoga
woman the other day. Years ago when
Tom Thumb was his only attraction, he
came to Saratoga and attempted to give an
entertainment The village fathers, how
ever, scared him away by the price of their
license, and he went to Ballston, the next
town, and advertised the performance. A
special train was run from here, and IA
great many of us went down on 1t. When
the curtain went up, Barnum came out
and made "a little speech. Ladies and
gentlemen he began, 1T was my first in
tentiOn to give this entertainment in Sar-
atoga, but | soon discovered there were
some men in that place so much smaller
than my famous Tom Thumb that it
would be useless to attempt competition
with Them The Saratogans laughed as
hard as the Ballston folks, and the hit was
retailed for many "a day. New York
Times.

reason, truth has hard time of it occa-
sionally. Little Edith B., years old,

her to do something the other day, and
Edith fatty refused. When the nurse in
sisted that Edith must do it, she raised
her doll with youthful passion, and throw
ing it down violently shattered its head
to pieces.
Edith, " said her mother, when your
father comes home you should go to him
and tell him what you have done"
Edith's father came home at the usual
hour but she did not offer to tell him any
thing about the doll AS he had been told
by the mother what had happened, he
finally took his daughter on his knee.
Has Edith been good girl todayY' he
asked.
Yes, she's been very good, was the
modest answer.
Are you sure that she has been good
all day."
Let me see" said Edith, gazing afar
off in IA thoughtful way. Yes, with en-
phasis, II think that she has been very
good girl all day"

indicated and made a good fight They
also avenged their loss upon the miscreant
responsible for it by running him through
with bayonet.
In the reorganization of the forces after
Bull Run by Mcclellan, Slocum was given
"a brigade in Franklin's division. He
brought it to high state of discipline, be-
ing regular, and led it in battle at West
Point Va, May ., 1862. Although still u
colonel, ON the formation of the Sixth
corps Slocum was placed at the head Of
the First division.
In the first battle Of his division Slocum
voluntarily yielded the honor of leadership
for the good of the cause. During the
crisis at Gaines Mill he was sent across the
Chickahominy to re-enfOrce Fitz John Por-
ter's corps. POrter's line was hard pressed,
and when SlOcum learned that the points
of danger were widely separated he de.
tached his brigadcs one by one, so that for
the time being they fought under Porter 5
division generals. The timely reinforce
mcnt, as a whole, saved the day for Por-
ter but SlOcum received no honor for it
except what was awarded his brigades in
diyidually. Had he held the command to-
gether and defended some key point or led
a grand charge, he would have been show
cred with praises. The division lost 2, 900
men, one-third of its numbers.
Three days after the battle of Gaines
Mill Slocum's division was stationed
along White Oak Swamp, at Brackets
and Charles City fords TO prevent the
crossing Of Magrudcr's and Huger's di-
visions on the flank of the armies engaged
at the battle Of Glendale The Confederate
generals never ceased to blame Magruder
and Huger for not forcing the passes and
stampeding Mcclellan army. l served in

A Gift That May BE Acquired.

Any woman who wishes to be social
success should cultivate the gift Of remem-
bering faces and names. A little attention at
the time, little care to fix an individual
by name and feature in the memory, will
bring it's sevenfold reward. While some
lucky people possess the faculty naturally,
and others are woefully deficient in this
respect, still it can be cultivated, so that
study will supply the lack of memory, and
the social aspirant may assume virtue

 Business Was More Active but at the Ex- pense Of Values.
 New York, Oct. 29.-Buslness at the Stock Exchange was more active, but the activity was at the expense of val ues. As of late the anthracite coalers were the features of speculation. but to- day the high priced investment stocks and the grangers received more atten- ton. .Liquidations were quite pronounce ed in the cases of the coalers, grangers and other issues, there having been steady dribbling of long stock from tin boxes throughout. For long time past the bulls have been boasting that the efforts of the bears to dislodge long stock were unavailing, and that each attack only served to increase the short interest. They can say so no longer, for to-day there was enough stock and to spare. so far as the bears were con cerned.
 The drop in the anthracite stocks was partly due to rumors that stove coal had sold as low as 8 per ton, against $3S5, the schedule prices. Jersey Gen. tral was also affected by the statement that the net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1894, had decreased $1, ,301, ,695. This stock fell 1& to 97h. rallied to 9s, dropped to 91% and closed at s2 Delaware and Hudson sold down IF to 123, recovered to 124 and fell to 119%@120. Lackawanna opened at 15S, a gain of h per cent, broke to 155A. re- covered to 157, receded to 155H and closed at 1856. Reading was exceptionally firm at 16B@17A. Judge Dallas has rat flied the Olcott-Earle reorganization plan of this company.
 The grangers were depressed by the poor September statements of the Bur lington and Quincy, which showed a net decrease of $325,S86. A pressure of long stock was also noted In this group of stocks. Northwest fell to 1003s, Amer lean Cotton oil 1a to 27, American Cotton oil preferred 1 to 75, American Tobacco to 9S1s, Canada Southern 1S to 49A, Big Four 11a to 36, Burlington & Quincy 1h to 71B, Chicago Gas 1A to 72%, St. Paul < to 60h, Rock Island % to 59B, Lake Shore 2A to 1311a, Lead to 3Sh, Lead preferred 1M to 873s, Omaha 1A to 3S, United States Cordage A to 12A and Western Union 1h to S5%.
 In the industrials American Sugar was weak early fin the day on the reduc- tion of 1-16@1S in refined, but later the price was bid up to 86% from S5as. Clos ing transactions were at S6M. In the final trading fractional rally occurred, and the market left off somewhat stead fer in tone. Net changes show losses of A to 1% per cent. in the general list, and 1k@7$ per cent. in the coalers. Reading closed unchanged. Evansville and Terre Haute fell to 40 and Pull man to 159. Sales were O7,7O0 shares.
