why Incense Was Used.

The sense of smell, which at the
dawn of civilization was a declining
one, and since then has tended to be.
come less and less of value, would
appear to have little chance of gain
ing an important position in any
branch of human culture. 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 promi-
nence has continued in that connet-
tion up to the present day. Far back
in the history Of our race, at any rate
long before the dawn of history, the
apparently immaterlal and, so to
speak, ghostly nature of the exciting
cause of the sensation of smell, led,
it would seem, step by step, to the
use of incense in the service of the
gods.
When it began to be felt that the
ancestral or other spirit that had to
be appeased was hardly of nature
to consume the material food OF
drink offered to it to appease
its wrath or to gain its favor,
an easy step of reasoning sug-
gested that this food or liquid would

Merely a Speculation.

At first thought, Egypt would be
the last place to look for the inven-
tion of hoped vessels, its arid climate
making it especially unsuited for
their employment. Possibly, how
ever, that may have been the CON-
polling cause Of their invention. All
through the East the bamboo is large
ly used for making hollow vessels, a
section of the stem through a node
securing a solid bottom, and one be-
tween the nodes an open mouth for a
natural tub or bucket. In all we'll
wooded regions, nothing would be
more natural than the employment
of hollow tree trunks for the same
purpose, or sections of tree stumps,
followed out by fire or otherwise.
In drying, such vessels would split
and spoil, and it would require no
great natural genius to repair them
by means Of withes or wooden bands,
the primitive form of the hoop, If
the users OF such natural barrels
should migrate to region where
timber was scarce, economy Of lumber
would be likely to suggest the build
ing of barrels from pieces artiflcialIy
split, in short, the use Of slaves, by
means of which the primitive cooper
would be able to make several barrels
out of a block that would suffice but
for single dugout But this is
speculation merely. 1t is enough
to know for certain that the cooper's
art, like the potter's, is one Of ex-
treme antiquity.

Baltimore duck found to his cost This

about in search of food off the shore
near Claiborne when he espied an oys-

with shell widely parted, feeding,
doubtless, on the simple and rather in
tangible diet upon which an oyster is
suppose to feed, The duck, true to
his greedy instincts, diyed for that
supposed Juicy mor' ell and was about to
swallow him whole, without salt or
pepper even, when the angry passions
OF the oyster arose, and napping his
shells together caught the unsuspect-
ing ducks bill in vise-like embrace.
The duck rose to the surface, shook
his head, mumbled ologies through
his tight-shut mouth, but the bivalve's
heart was hardened, and he held on,
Soon that constant load pulling down
his head, and growing weightier and
weightier, began to tire the duck and
his neck arched lower and lower until
finally it sank into the water and he
was drowned. A deckhand on the
steamboat Tangiee saw the duck float
ing with head submerged and picked
him up. The oyster was still clinging
to his victim with a relentless, deadly
grasp, and the tragedy that must have
been enacted as described wa revealed.
