Secret. Of scents.


A pretty and interesting story has
been told by French specialist Of
many months hard wrestling with the
secrets of scents, and especially of
their influence on bacteria. He finds
that many essential oils and other per-
fumes are powerful germ destroyers.
One Of his experiments was to take
100 bacteria and see how many would
be destroyed in forty-eight hours when
exposed at temperature of fifteen de.
grccs centigrade to various agencies.
Essential oil of bitter almonds killed
80 of the micro congratulations, and oil
of thyme the same number. Oil of
cummin accounted for 95 per cent;
mint, 93; walltiower, 90; neroli, so;
lemon, IS; lavender, IS; eucalyptus, "a;
rosemary, 73; turpentine and camphor,
only 66. Public opinion would have
placed eucalyptus, turpentine and cam
phor very much higher on the list. Al
though the results given are somewhat
different than might be expected, it
must be remembered that the expert
ments were made with essences and
not with their spirituous or water de-
coctions-the perfumes of commerce.
But it is satisfactory to know that
many scents which have great
charm for the olfactory nerves of
some people are now numbered among
the useful allies of hygiene.

THE PAULIST FATHERS.
Father Hedges, One of the Mission
aries, breaches His First Sermon
in This City.

Father Hedges, Paulist Father, who in
company with Father Clark arrived in
this City about week since to engage in
missionary work, preached his first SER
mon in st. Marys Church yesterday
evening, the subject being THE Reward
of Faith" 1--WE know of the existence of
God by our mind" said the father, 'for
his existence is made manifest by the
wonders and beauties of nature and we
believe in the personality of the Almighty
by faith. We have faith in Christ, who
manifested the individuality of God. By
the exercise of faith we get the reward,
which is life everlasting. Not only must
we have faith, but we must be just, pure
in thought and act, honest and honor
able and charitable. By the exercise of
these virtues and of faith we obtain that
great reward"
The sermon, of which this is but very
brief outline, was listened to with great
deal of attention by the large congregation
that filled the church of the Paulist
Fathers.
Fathers Hedges and Clark will COM
mence their mission at Hollister on the
9Th inst. and after that will hold missions
at Nevada City, Mariposa and Carson
City, Nevada, which occupy their time
until the 1st OF November. They will
then return to their home in this City, as
it is one of the rules of the Paulist Fathers
that they must be at their respective
homes at Christmas and Easter. After
that the fathers will visit other plac es and
their time will be occupied until June.

that wraps itself about some column of

EVENING AUDIENCES.
The Pastor of st. Johns Presbyterian
Church Finds Only One Fault
With CONGREGATIONS.


The Rev. DR.. D. Hanson Irwin occupied
the pulpit of st. Johns Presbyterian
Churh yesterday, after an absense of six
weeks spent mostly on Puget Sound.
DR.. Irwin has resumed his work in the
best of spirits and feels that he got just
what he wanted during his vacation-a
good rest and plenty of sea air.
He visited several places on the sound,
and one Sunday preached in Seattle.
Speaking of his trip, he said: II have
been gone since the middle of July. I
spent good deal of my time on the
water. l visited the principal places of in
terest round the sound"
Yesterday mornings service was at
tended by large congregation, and some
handsome floral decorations graced the
altar. DR.. Irwin preached from the text:
''The just shall live by faith"-Romans
liz.
at is faith" he said, chat must be
preached, and something must be done,'
he remarked, jokingly, ito get people to
come up this hill. The morning at
tendance is very satisfactory, but the even
ing attendance is not what it should be. l
suppose a great many pastors find the
same fault. 1t Is the only fault | find with
my work here. We are on the apex of a
hill, and perhaps the church is a little diff
cult of access.
II have thought of a great many plans,
and there are many legitimate things that
may yet be done. [ have thought of
changing the evening service to afternoon.
l want elevating music, but, as a rule, do
not believe in professional choirs, for /
thing those who sing the gospel should
know the gospel and believe in it."

NATIONAL GUARD RUNNERS
Company F Defeats Troop A
in an Athletic Contest
for Points.
Events Well Contested, but Per-
formanCeS Poor-The Score
Was As to 81.

Company F, N. G. c., secured victory
over Troop A of the Second Brigade yes
terday, in an athletic contest for points.
The meet was held on the Olympic
grounds and consisted of track and field
events. First place counted five and Sec
ond place two; the final score being, in
fahtrymen 46, cavalrymen 81. The mill
tiamen, who do their marching afoot,
carried off six first places and three Sec
ond places, while their brothers of the
saddle got three first and six second places.
In addition to the honor of being victors
Company T secured large pitcher offered
as trophy by Major F. f. Follis of the
Second Brigade.
Generally speaking the performances.
when compared with those of ordinary
track and field athletes of longer and more
careful training, were poor, but there were
evidences OF some very good individual
material that may be made more of if
these friendly contests of athletic militia
men continue. Moore and the two Hawks
brothers. of Company F, and Duncan and
Epp of the troop are capable OF better per-
formances than those which secured their
firsts in their events yesterday. Notwith-
standing the slow time and the appearance
OF the score the races were prettlly run and
well contested to the finish.
1t is a new idea for the young business
men composing the different companies of
the National Guard to engage in such trials
of their ability as athletes of the spiked
shoe and the cinder track. Troop A may
be said to have inaugurated the practice,
for it is from them that the challenge came
after they were flushed with the success of
their recent exhibition of fancy bareback
riding.
Following is the order of the events, to-
gether with the place men and the score:
