Catching a "Spirit."

An amusing scene occurred during a
performance of spiritualistic seance
in birmingham, when several gentle
men who doubted the genuineness or
the performance visited the establish
ment to investigate matters. The visit
ors were ushered into a darkened room.
One of them placed his hand upon the
table and quickly caught hold of the
spirit" when IL touched his hand. 1t
was found that the spirit was young
Iady who had conducted the proceed
ings. A scene ensued, the visitors de-
nouncing the spirit" as an imposter
and trickster, and one old lady who for
some time had been endeavoring to as
certain the whereabouts Of missing

being made.-Leeds Mercury.

When a certain man who advocates
the renting of outside rooms for the
high school was asked why the local
committee does not utilize for school
purposes the large hall, taking up the
entire third floor OF the large brick
school building, he said: "Oh, there
are not sufficient windows In the room."
When asked why more windows can
not be made to open into the room. he
said: "Oh, that cutting of new win
dows would spoil the architectural
beauty of the building" "Well. then"
said the questioner for the third time,
admitting the wisdom OF sacrificing
accommodation and money for archi-
tectural beauty, why not occupy the
vacant rooms in the Eden Park school
house with pupils from the brick build
ing and then use the rooms vacated In
the latter building FOR high school pur-
poses?' The logic OF the answerer had
run aground, and. becoming vexed, he
said: "See here. friend, we are bound
to have new high school in Auburn,
and to the d. with those propositions!"

DANGER In THE FAD.
Doctors Discuss Hypodermlc Ipjec'
tions OF Perfumes.


New York physicians differ greatly
as to the effects on the system OF hy-
poderinic injections of perfume, which
has developed into a fad in Paris. The
idea was introduced by a popular
French actress who was addicted to
morphine. Applying hypodermic injec-
ton of sweet smelling waters. she be-
came delightfully."- perfumed and could
use a different fragrance each day. A
Parisian doctor announced that the
fad was dangerous. as impurities In
the fluid used would cause blood pois-
oning.
In the opinion OF q medical expert
and chief Of staff OF one OF the largest
New York hospitals hypodermic injec-
tions Of perfume will not produce the
pleasing odor that Is reported. "All per-
fumes" he said, "are due to volatile
oils. They contain alcohol, and will act
as a stimulant. Only those volatile oils
which are exhaled by the lungs would
give a perfume to the person. Very
few volatile oils capable Of giving per-
fume pass through the pores, so that
subcutaneous injections would only
give an odor to the breath.
Large quantities would be necessary
to give any distinct odor. This amount
of volatile oil, which is All active irri-
tant. injected into the system would
cause danger. / do not believe that In
a strict sense the danger from blood
poisoning exists. Blood poisoning would
not arise from these substances, be-
cause most volatile oils are antipepttc.
Irritating properties of the csls or lack
of cleanliness OF the skin or OF the hy-
podermic needle used would produce q
dangerous result.
An expert dermatologist on the stan
of another New York hospital, who has
had extensive practice abroad. said that
the fad Is not a new one. II 10 pracs

will have a toxic or poisonous effect.
The impurities 1t contains. the alcohol,
the arsenic or the cocaine, are alb
sorbed by the Emphatic glands and
blood vessels, producing poisoning. not
only on the external covering, as the
skin and it's appendages. but also In the
internal organs. 1t deranges the ner-
vous system and causes pains and
twitching.
Perfume hypodermically injected
should be used to less degree than
when externally applied. In external
application the odor Is quickly carried
away by the atmosphere. BY subcu-
taneous injections Of perfume the odor
is thrown out through the pores. The
perfume issues from the pores gradual.
ly and is not wasted.
Certain strong medicines taken In
ternally produce the same effect. The
odor remains about the patient TOT
MANY hours afterward. This use of
perfume will have the same action a.
any hypodermic medical injection, plus
the odorous effect.
"yolatile oils, although antiseptic,
NAV also be toxic. For example, the
poison in the ivy leaf is produced by
a volatile oil. Yet contact with this
plant produces the toxic effect"

An Individual OdOr.

Every human being has specific
odor OF his own, according to A. Battle
in the Archiv der Gesammten Physiolo-
gle, by which he can be recognized not
merely by dogs but by persons with
sensitive organs OF smell. The case is
mentioned of a man who blindfolded
could pick out each individual in a
company of twenty by his odor. The
smell is not born with us. but develops
gradually till the age of puberty. after
which 1t remains unchanged. Members
OF family have a kind of common odor
which persists even when they have
lived apart for long time.
