Primitive Incense.

In ancient days sweet odors were oh.
tanned by burning aromatic gums and
woods; hence the word perfume, which
Is from the Latin per, through, fumus,
smoke or vapor. From this arose the idea
OF incense In primitive worship. 1t was
used by the orientals long before it became
known to the western world People OF
the east utilized it for sacrifice in their
temples. At feasts it enhanced the pleas.
ure of the senses. At funerals it was a
bride to appease the names of the dead,
and later, in theaters, disinfectant
against the unpleasant odors of a crowded
building.
Pliny assures us that incense was not
employed in sacrifice until after the Troj ian
war; when fragrant woods were applied to
give an agreeable smell
In an ancient magical manuscript it is
directed that three grains should be taken,
with three fingers, and placed under the
threshold to keep away evil spirits which
might come in the form of offensive odors.

SURE RESPITE FOR BRAN.
Even II Set Ahead Supreme Court Cannot
Reach il Before October.

Boston, April 15.-The Herald, Thurs
day, in a special from washington
SC id: 1T is now an assured fac
that the sentence of death pronounced
on Thomas NJ Bran, convicted of the
murder Of Captain Nash on board the
barkentine Herbert NJ. Fuller, Jul5
last, will not be carried out. June is
the date set by the judges of the United
States circuit court at Boston, befor'
" hom Bran was tried.
The exceptions in the case were re-
ceived at the attorney generals office
about two weeks ago, and it is under
stood that an urgent request was re-
ceived from Boston that the case be SCI
forward on the list, so that the eXcep'
tons could be argued, and the sentence
carried out, il the exceptions were not
allowed.
The supreme court sits until the mid
die of May, but there is a long list OF
ton.
"A capital case, however, has prece-
dent above all others. and is taken up
at the earliest possible moment.
1T is thought by those who watched
the Bran case here that it would be
reached, this term. and in that event,
decision might be reached and set
down before the date announced for
the execution. AS matters stand al
present, ii would be almost impossible
to reach it before the adjournment OF
the court, and even if it was set for
ward it would not be reached before
