As a rule the scent Of flowers does
not exist In them as In store, or
gland. but rather a. a breath. an ex-
halation. While the flower lives IL
breathes out It's sweetness. but when
Il dies the fragrance usually ceases to
exist. The method Of stealing from the
flower It's fragrance while Il Is still
living Is no new thing. and il Is not
known when u was discovered that
butter, animal fat. or oil would alb
sorb the odor given of by living flow

selves become fragrant.
Most OF us have no doubt experience
ed the dlscomiorts Of being seized with

most inconvenient times and places.
and Il is not usually supposed that any
exercise Of the will power can be made
efficient In checking either a cough or
a sneeze. Or. Scquard, howey-
er, In one OF his lectures. said that
coughing can be stopped by pressing
