An Abiding Perfume.

Nearly six years ago farmer
who was bringing five or six carboys
Of essence of peppermint in town had a
runaway on West Franklin street near
the Christian church, and five. of the
carboys were broken. Owing to the
value of the essence, his loss amounted
TO something like $500, total loss,
with no insurance. The point in re-
viving the incident is that the pun
gent odor of the liquid, which heav-
lily burdened the atmosphere in that
vicinity for months, still clings to the
earth where the liquid was spilled, and
the neighborhood small boy delights
in mystifying the uniformed by pick
ing up clods of the earth and calling at
tention to the odor. Occasionally, when
the atmospheric conditions are right,
the odor rises in such quantity as to
be noticeable to Observation-Disclosures

Ignorant people think that an as
tronomer is also an asttologer. Sir j John
Herschel once received a letter asking
him to cast the writer's horoscope. An
other letter-writer requested the dis
astronomer to consult the
stars and answer these two questions:
''Shall marry?" and Have L seen
her?" Maria Mitchell records in her
journal that on an Atlantic steamer an
Irishwoman, learning that she was an
astronomer, asked her what she could
tell. Miss Mitchell answered that she
could tell when the moon would rise,
when the sun would rise, and when
there would be an eclipse of the moon or
of the sun. "Oh!" exclaimed the disap-
pointed woman, in tone which plain
" said: is that ALP" She expected
to have her fortune told. Once in a
town not far from Boston, during u
very mild winter, "a lad, driving q team,
called out to Miss Mitchell on the street,
saying: 81 want to ask you a question,
Miss MITCHELL" She stopped. He
asked: 'Shall we lose our ice crop this
winter?"-Youth's Companion.

The young engineer brought letters
for Philip, one of which was reserved to
be read in the privacy of the attic bed

of Mrs. Duncan-"and I'll have to

Protheroe rode up to the gate and dis
mounted. He nodded to the intruders
as he passed them. and Thorndyke was
surprised to see them hurry to their

planned when Protheroe came up the

Bad for Epicures.

1t frequently happens that those
epicures who daily with the toothsome
pate de foie gras are afflicted with gas
trio troubles to such an extent that life
becomes burden and they would will
ingly fill themselves with husks, after
the manner of the prodigal, if they
could secure relief thereby. This deli
cacy is made of the enlarged livers of
geese, and in order to aggravate the
affection of the goose and get larger
livers, it is the custom to feed the bird
quantities of a certain variety of sorrel
which contains an excess of binoXalate
of potash. This chemical gets into the
goose's liver, causes hypertrophy of
that organ. and is the prime cause of
the epicure's stomach ache.-Chicago

Philip put the letter down with
smile that was more than half sneer.
When one sets out to make himself the
advocate of an unworthy cause, mental
short-sightedness stands ready. to dis
tort and confuse the judgment; and in
the case of letter, the dispassionate
Journalism of written language lends
itself easily to inferential misconstruc-
ton.
''How could 1 ever have fancied that
she had any warmth or depth apart
from the intellectual side of her char
actel'?" he asked himself. I'm sure L
don't know, any more than know why
1 always took it for granted that we
were divinely appointed to be the COM
ponent parts of thatmysterious creation
which the marriage service declares to
be one person, but which all experience
says is still more than ever two. Could
Elsie Duncan write such letter as
that to the man She loves? Would she
turn neat phrases and Bah! the
comparison is absurdi And yet, on the
other hand, it isn't fair to blame Helen
because L don't happen to be the one
man in the universe who is capable of
calling out the best there is in her; and
/ don't blame her. She may find the
right man yet; it's barely possible this
cruise in Morton's yacht will turn out
to be more nearly divine appointment
than an agreement made by our fathers
while we were in swaddling-clothes."
Thus Philip, in plausible attempt
| to justify himself. How should he know
was only part and parcel of the hard
task Helen had set herself in the begin
ming? How was he to guess that she
had steadily resolved from the first to
say nothing that would tempt him to
turn back to his hurt? By what inner
prescience should he have been enabled
to read between the lines the passionate
| yearning that was so resolutely effaced
in the written words? AS he stood at
his window looking out into the calm
stiffness of the moonlit night, what
good angel was there to tell him that at
another window in far-off New England

eyes, beseeching the Mercifui One to

A NOBLE PROPOSITION.

Whether it is practicable" or not, the
proposition of the Portland (Or) Cham
Der of Commerce to collect supplies ana
endeavor to forward them to the klon-
0ike region, in view of the fear that
famine is about to set in there. is one
that speaks volumes for the hearts OF
Portland merchants.
The Seattle commercial people have
declined to Join in the endeavor because
it is looked upon as ''impracticable.
But suppose the Portland merchants go
on with their scheme and succeed; what
will be the feelings of the Seattleites?
Here is the conviction in all minds that
our people on the Klondike are on the
verge of a great calamity; that famine
is about to beset them: that without
supplies they will die Of starvation.
Shall not an effort be made to reach
them with timely succor?
The Portland folks have appealed to
the Secretary of War TO aid them by
lending the powerful influence and prac-
tical force of the War Department to
it's scheme, the idea being to send the
goods and medicines to the nearest ac-
cessible point on the Alaskan coast, and
thence transport them as best may be
done overland to Dawson. 1t is thought
possible that relief may be thus got into
the mining camps. If the effort to
reach the town succeeds, Ii will be q

| jectors, and a splendid tribute to the
intrepid men who accomplish it. II II
