A Novel Contest.

Here is a description of a move
contest which is said to have takel
lace at social function" in Hart
a'd, Conn. Twelve Walls were fillet
Nth liquids of Il uniform red color
out Of different odors. The test was
ar each guest to name the odors ant
w"ite the names on a card. Th.
ad.rs chosen were familiar, such az
gitrhhazeI cologne, wintergreen
pcnnyroyal, rose lemon and the like
and IL would be supposed that there
would he little or no difficulty in
Identifying them; but the task was
not so easy after all, for the reason
that the stronger odors seemed t.
dull the sense of smell as to the more
delicate ones. Some of the mistakes
were very amusing. The highest
score, eleven out of twelve, was made
by one of the gentlemen, and, as a
rule, the scores of the gentlemen
were better than those of the ladies'
A curious fact was that n vial con-
tanning a liquid without any odor
was wrongly guessed by all the
ladies and was identified as water by
only two of the gentlemen.

Europe they use the fiat Of a sword

body of men will stand the impact

To the Editor of the St. CROSS Agis.
Dear Sir.
The question of an Anglo-American
alliance, us you of course are aware. has
been mooted long ago, but it has not had so
much prominence as since England's attitude
IN tue present war, and notably since the
utterances of Mr.. Chamberlain aud others Of
her great men.
Reading thus far | fancy I see you place
the letter on your desk, take off your piac-nez
which you carefully wipe. adjust them again,
remarking however "By Jove, here is some
one who is evidently going to take sides with
one of the beligerents, and is going to help
fight the war IN the columns OF the "Avis."
but if that is his little game We shall foil
him this is strictly neutral ground, and
no Irish need apply" Sir, i'll have proved
