Individual Odors.

Every human being has specific
odor Of his own, according to A. Bethe

gle, by which he can be recognized not
merely by dogs but by persons with SEN
sitive organs of smell. The case is men
toned of man who blindfolded could
pick out each individual in company

Members of family have a kind of
common odor, which persists even when
they have lived apart for a long time.

her standing there as l turned the an
gle, tall distingue woman, with a fluff
of yellow haid about her face. 1 had
seen her many times before, and | had
always turned to look. When she is in
her opera box she becomes the one
woman in the house for me. [ noticed,
as l came round the angle in the store
which brought me near her, that three
young shop girls were gathered in front
of her-three young girls with smiling
faces. 1t might have been rude in me,
but she was so beautiful l might, /
thought, be pardoned if for a moment l
loitered near her. So l took up some
trifie from the counter and held it in
my hand. Then [ heard her say, in a
ripping voice which I ought to have
known would belong to her, us it you
who are happy today, or is it 70
The pale shop girl in black looked up
and answered: Il don't know. 1 have
been feeling very badly all the morning,
but seem to be suddenly glad since you
came in"
Then the beautiful woman laughed,
quietly, as wel-bred woman would,
but with few sweet notes in her voice
which only the fortunate few possess.
She hesltated for a moment, looked at
the smiling faces, and with a sudden
impulse, seen in the way she leaned
toward them, she said: "Tben it is /! I
did not know | showed it, but so many
nice things have come to me today.
nope all you may have just such happy
ones yourselves" And she took from
her dress bunch of violets and handed
it to the girl in black.

faces of that busy, hurrying throng of
shoppers Jostling my elbow at every
turn, and again into those l met on the
street. Not one was like that of the
woman [ had left in the store bending
to speak to the three smiling girls.
We could all of us radiate Just such
happiness, [ suppose, if we on " felt it.
1t all lies in the feeling. And the feel

that came to us; if we did not so often

worries, staying so long that at last we
forgot our other possessions If we

Negr oEmigratlon to Africa

Blshop ii. M. Turner's efforts to per
suade the people of his race in the South TO
migrate to Africa meets with strong on
position from all negro citizens who have
a little Caucasian blood in their veins. AT
meeting of negroes this week, called to
discuss the matter. several speakers ad-
Yocated the proposed removal to the
PARK continent. They were making a
favorable impression when a quadroon
made short talk. Those of his hearers
who were of darker color made dispar-
aging comments on his speech and inter
rupted him in an insulting manner. The
orator continued his remarks, and finally
said that he could not consider the idea
of leaving America.

SO much clamor and strife was stirred
up that the quadroon speaker had to 90

white kin.
This little incident shows that the bish-
ops emigration scheme may be violently
opposed in unexpected quarters. The i'll
feeling between the negroes and the niu-
iattos, quadroons and octoroons is easily
famed into flame. Some of the negroes
say that if Bishop Turner is so fayorably
impressed with Africa. he should go there
himself. and not linger in a country so
unfriendly and fatal to his people.-Ex-

Paul Pelkey of Fillmore is still living,
and is 102 years old. He took sick and
died forty years ago, was dressed in
grave clothes, and was placed in a coffin
in an upstairs room at his home. The
funeral was ready to start, and the stairs
were very narrow and old-fashioned, and
but two men could handle the coffin. They
started down the stairway with the cof-
fin, and one of the men slipped, and down
went the coffin, bumpty bump. The COT
fin broke open, and the corpse sat up and
rubbed his eyes and asked for a drink of

put off indefinitely and has not since been
announced, and it is said is not likely to
be for some time to come.-Maryyille
