The ODOR OE PLANTS.
1t Comes From the Heart of the Flower

1t Comes From the Heart of the Flower
Usually, Sometimes From the Leaves.
The various delightful or disagreeable
odors of the plant family usually reside
i'll the flower itself, though in some
species the seat is i'll the leaves and stem
or even i'll the root. In either case the
odor is due to the presence of volatile
essential oils, usually of a resinous ma
ture. The number of these oils is I'M
known, and their nature is so complex
that even Il slight variation i'll the tenn
perature or i'll the quantity of light
falling upon them is sufficient to cause
Encouragement of their component ell
ements, resulting, SO far as the smell is
concerned at least, i'll an entirely differ
ent compound.
Prophylic ether, which is an exam
pie of these unstable compounds, can,
by slightly different arrangement of
its elements, be made to yield either the
odor of pineapples or that of decaying
fish The reason, therefore, why each
species and kind of Il plant has Il differ
ent odOr is the ease with which one per
fume may be transformed into another.
Sufficient cause for such transition is
often found III the mode of lite of each
variety of plant and the difference in
their chemical constitution.
Whatever III any way affects the life
or growth of plant rapidly shows its
effect upon the flower and its perfume.
The nature of the soil and its humidi-
ty, the variation of temperature OF the
intensity of the sunlight will sooner o.,
later transform the entire nature of Il
plant. for, rs has been fully shown
above, one plant, i'll order to produce
exactly the same perfume as another,
must not only be Of the same species,
hut live III the same clements, earth,
air, etc. 1t mast also absorb Il similar
amount @. light and breathe the same,
which would, Of course, necessitate
leaves similar i'll size, color and shape.

HOW A MAN GOES TO SLEEP.


Slumber Begins at the Feet, and the Senses
Become Dormant ON" After Another.
Order is heaven first law and
the old truth is manifested even in the
process of going to sleep. When a man
drops off to sleep his body does not do
so all at once, so to speak. Some senses
become dormant before others and al
ways in the same order As he becomes
drowSy the eyes close, and the sense of
seeing is at rest. 1t is quickly followed
by the disappearance of the sense of
taste He next loses the sense of smell,
and then after u short interval the tym-
panum becomes insensible to sound or
rather the nerves which run to the brain
from it fail to arouse any sense of hear
ing.
The last sense to leave is that of
touch, and in some representative peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. Even in
their case, however there is no discrim-
mating power on sense Of what touched
them. This sense is also the first to re-
turn upon awakening. Then hearing fol
lows suit, after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash impressions
back to the brain. The SENSE Of smell,
oddly enough, though it is by no means
the first to 60, is the last to come back.
The same gradual loss Of power is OBJ
served IN the muscles and sinows us
we'll us in the senses. Slunber begins
at yhc feet and slowly spreads up the
limbs and trunk until it reaches the
and the whole body is at rest. This is
why sleep is impossible when the feet
are cold. New York World.

Safe Crackers at Work.

The safe in T. j. Bowman's grist mill
at East Hickory was blown open by
thieves sometime during last Saturday
night. A hole was drilled into the top
of the safe and sufficient powder or
other explosive injected to make practi-
cally complete wreck of it. The door
was blown several feet away, and it is
said that one of the sacks of grain which
had been piled around the safe to deaden
the sound of the explosion was blown
clear through the outer door. Had the
thieves taken the precaution to examine
they would have found that the safe door
was not locked, and would have been
saved the trouble of drilling into it. The
safe is simply a fire-proof affair, used
only to protect books and papers. Judg-
ing from the these facts work was evident
ly that of "greenies," and an inferior ar
ticle of greeny at that. No clue to the
perpetrators tnat the public has heard OF.
Well enough for people to take on a
little extra caution, as the papers in all
sections are teeming of late with accounts
of burglaries of this kind,

FRIGHTFULLY MANGLED.
Thomas l.. Mooney Drops Beneath the
Cars and is Ground to Pieces.

A most distressing accident occurred a
few rods below the station at this place
on Thursday evening last, resulting in
the instant death of one of the brakemen
of an extra freight train that came up
from Oil City on the w - Y. & p. road.
The train had slowed up an6 the engine
was near the water tank where IL was in
tended to take water, about five o'clock.
Thomas l.. Mooney, the unfortunate
victim, was climbing down from a box
car TO a coal car, when his hold slipped
and he fell to the track. The wheels of
four or five cars passed over his body
before the train stopped. The crew went
to the rescue as quickly as possible only
to find the body horribly mutilated. The
greater portion of the head was ground
to pieces, one foot was mangled and near
ly cut of, both legs were almost severed
from the body near the groin, and the
left arm was entirely cut off. The con-
ductor, James Dunn, took charge of the
body, had it placed in the depot, and
when the passenger train down arrived,
had it placed in the baggage car and TAX
Ell to McCracken & Koch's undertaking
rooms, Oil City, where it was prepared
for burial and taken at midnight to the
late home of the deceased at Siverley.
Coroner Morrow impaneled the follow
ing jury; II. NJ. Zahniser, c. f. Weaver,
A. Carson, G. M. Whiteman, 6. w. Bo-
ward, p. u. Walters, which viewed the
body, and after taking the testimony Of
the train crew, rendered a verdict o.
death by accident, attaching no blame to
the railroad company, but recommended
the use of platforms on all freight cars.
The deceased was son of Mr.. Patrick
Mooney, one of the honored citizens o
Fagundus, this county. He was aged
about 39 years, and had been in the EN-.
ploy of the road for about five years, be-
ing noted at all times for his steady hab
its and industry, and was very popular
with his companions on the road. He
was a member of st. Jaseph's church, o

place on Sunday last, being attended by

Obituary.
WILLIAM LUTHER ANDERSON.

WILLIAM LUTHER ANDERSON,
was born September 8, 1914, in the state
of Vermont, and died at East Hickory,
Pennsylvania, November IS, 1896, aged
50 years, months and II days.
When he was quite young his perents,
bringing him with them, removed from
Vermont to Westmorelsnd county, Penn
sylvania, where he spent his boyhood and
youth. Until the year 1868 he followed
the occupation of ship-buildng and rlv-
erman; part of the time he followed
steamboating; part of the time running
on floating craft, all the way from the
Allegheny river to the Gulf of Mexico.
In or about the year 1868 he came to
East Hickory where he had since resided,
and where he was united in marriage
with Miss Harriet Nellis. Nine children
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson.
Those now living are: Mrs. Kate AL
baugh, Mrs. Myra Burns, James Alfred
Anderson all of whom reside at East
Hickory, Lucy Carson,-residing
at Neiltown, this county,-and Misses
Emma and Julia Anderson, residing
WIN luolt iilOIuSAi IOllSt VI tlIO ASbSei9Shi
Mrs. Harriet Anderson, at East Hickory.
Those dead are: An infant son, twin
brother of William, now dead, as men
toned a little farther on; Benjamin, dy-
ing when young; william, killed three
years ago on the Hickory Valley r. r.,
by the swapping of brake on a car.
The main points in his religious life are
as follows: About twenty years ago he
was converted in meeting held by the
Free Methodist people at East Hickory,
and united with the church, having been
baptised by immersion at the hands of
Rev. Hawkins. He continued MEM
ber of that church for period of twelve
or fifteen years, occupying the position
of Glass Leader for a part of that time,
For few years back he had been in a
back-slidden condition. A short time
ago he was reclaimed, and has left such
evidence that we do not doubt but that
he has departed "to be with Christ which
is far better" aa#
