THE usE-oF INCENSE,

Has Its Origin in the Primitive Stages OF
the Human Race.
The sense of smell. which at the dawn
of civilization was declining one, and
since then has tended to become less
and less of value, would appear to have
little chance of gaining an important
position in any branch of human cul.
ture. And yet it came about that one
characteristic of the exciting cause of
odors brought them into prominence in
the service of religion, and this prom
incnce has continued in that connection
up to the present day. Far back in the
history of our race. at any rate long
before the dawn of history, the appar-
emily immaterial and, so to speak,
ghostly nature of the exciting cause of
the sensations of smell, led, it would
seem, step by step. to the use of incense
III the service of the gods.
When it began to be felt that the an
cestral or other spirit that had to be
appeascd was hardly ofa nature to con-
sume the material food or drink
offered to it to appease it's wrath or to
gain its favor, an easy step of reason
ing suggested that this food or liquid
would be more acceptable in the form
of smoke or vapor The gods had be-
come of too spiritual nature actually
to cat the food, but they would still re-
quire some form of nourishment, and
what could be more suitable to them
than the fumes of burned flesh? This
is the conception that is prominent, OF
at AL events. survives, in the descrip-
tions of sacrifices in the ''Iliad," where
the thick clouds from the burning
thighs of the slaughtered oxen, and
from the fat in which they were
wrapped, ascend to Olympus and cheer

from this to the burning of fragrant
woods and resin to provide II less gross
qualification. Moreover, by the CON
sumption in their honor of these prcci
Gus spices ana fragrant gums, obtained

We copy the following article ire

monthly called Good Roads:
Suppose you had pair of boots
which needed half.soling. and the shoe
they were. except that he sent two
pieces of sole leather and instructed
you TO hold them on the soles until
they became permanent. Now you
think the above very absurd supposi-
ton, and yet If you are a taxpayer you
are helping to pay for just such repair
ing, only it happens to be on roads
which are partly yours instead of
boots which you alone have to wear.
After years of agitation you succeed
in getting a decent macadam road
(this is assuming a great deal, but we
must start with something). 1t lacks.
however, one very desirable quality
it isn't waterproof; so in time the rain
soaks into it and finds the most porous
spots and the settling begins. The
road often settles before the town
does AS soon as low spot begins to
develop, it catches more water and
that soalSs the earth underneath still
more. and the low spot sinks still low
er until it gets almost as low as some
of the politics which prevent its re-
pair.
"Veritas" notices it and writes to a
local paper; the next week "Old Sub
scriber' takes it up, and finally Tax
payer is heard from. Then the editor
suggests that it ought to be attend

The Milkmaids, Convention.

A good-szed audience witnessed the
Interstate milkmaids' convention at
Fergusons theatre last night, which was
given under the auspices of the Young
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The entertainment opened with an UNI
brella drill by girls and a snow shovel
drill by boys. The entertainment proper,
or the convention, was burlesque upon a
business assembly of women and was inter-
spersed by vocal solos and quartettes.
The characters were assumed by members
of the "Y'' and friends, namely Misses
| Virgie II. Hollopeter, Hattie Roxby, Ruby
Yost, Priscilla Smith, Bella Brown,
Laura Hutton, Sallie Wasley, Fanny
Davis, Lilly Llewellyn, Annie Williams,
Beuah Bowers, Minnie Powell, Helen
Price, Hattie Mansell, Annie Roberts,
Name Williams Maggie Jacoby, Annie
Brown, Emma Bolich, Ray Hollopeter,
Jennie Beddall, Gertie Levine, Della
Daddow, Hannah Scanlan and Brid-
get Devers. The only male char
acters in the entertainment were
those of newspaper reporters, which were
assumed by Mes'rs. John Hough, Will
lam Bushore and Benjamin Mansell. The
latter gentleman was disguised by nous
tache aud bore striking resemblance to
Seeley, the absconding New York bank
cashier. Frances Wllard, the infant
daughter of Mr. and Mrs S. G. NJ. Hollo-
peter, made a hit. She recognized Miss
Priscilla Smith, while the young woman
was reciting her part in the convention,
and would not be consoled until taken
upon the stage, step the audience ap-
plauded.

He Could Not Have WithstOOd the Pres

LONDON, April at is probable that
the Marquis of AiIesbury would, short
ly, have been adjudged bankrupt as
he was not able to pay the sum of ST.
$50, 900 due to his creditors. He had
been struggling against bankruptcy pro
ceedings since 1890, and the negotiations
for the sale of his magnificent estate Of
Savernake, Wiltshire, have been no.
table feature of his pecuniary troubles.
Lord Iveagh, better known as the for
mer head of the great firm of Guinness
Brewers, was for long time looked
upon as the probable purchaser of Say
ernake, as the Marquis of Ailesbury was
almost penniless, and driven to the most
desperate straits in order to raise money.
But the negotiations with Lord Iveagh
fell through, owing to the fact that the
wife Of the marquis, formerly Miss Dol
ly Tester, a music hall star, who was
married to the marquis at Brighton, re-
fnsed to sign the papers necessary for
tho transfer of the estate.
The cause of the refusal of the mar
chioness to sign the papers may be &C
counted for in the fact that the marquis
had been living with another woman at
Brixton, near London. The title will
fall to Lord Henry Augustus Brundell-
Bruce, an uncle of the late marquis.

RlCHBOURG'S REPORT.
The Court of Inquiry Places the Blame o

Ths Court of Inquiry Places the Blame on
Constable McLendon.
NEW YORK, April IA Sun special
from Columbia, S. c., Says:
The report of Brigadier General Rich
bourg, who commanded the troops at
Darlington and Florence during the late
dispensary troubles, has been made pub
lie. The report includes the report Of
the military court of inquiry held in
connection with the coroners inquest on
the death of Norment, Redmond and
Pepper. This court, composed OF five
officers, after summarizing the tes.imo-
ny declares it firmly believes that, had
McLendon not interfered, the chef Of
police would have had no trouble in
preserving order and avoiding the trag-
edy.
The court further concluded that Nor
ment came to his death at the hands of
McLendon; that the killing was feloni-
GUS murder; that Pepper was killed by
Lewis Redmond, and that Redmond
was killed by Constable O. G. Cain.
The report says Redmond was running
when Cain shot him in the back.
