The Scent Cure,

Interesting experiments with the odors Of herbs have from time to time been made. and it has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various smells. The odor of cloves has beer known to destroy microbes in thirty five minutes; cinnamon will kill some species in thirty-dve minutes
 thyme in thirty-fiYe. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective. while the odor of mint has destroyed various forms of microbes in 6fty-fVe minutes, and 1t is recorded ss the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now be- lieved that herbs which have been found in Egyptian mummies were placed on the bodies more for their antiseptic properties than as mere or- Hanlenss or objects Of sentiment

roBooGANlNc M CANADA.
A Winter Sport That Is Greatly En-
 5oyed by All Glasses.

ToB8gganing is one of the staple amusements in Canada. sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed '.chutes' down the side of . hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden creations with the planes fixed at an angle of 45 de- grees, and with a sheer drop of about 100 feet Water is poured over the wooded dectivity. which iE the frosty air is soon transformed into ice. with surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight a direction as possible. though in some cases not particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan in flying down the chute is sufficient to carry 1t over any slight aprisings in the ground The Canadian tobeggan is light, strong article, about five or six feet to length, and about % inches h width composed of q number Of nar- TOW wooden strips secured longitudI- nally together, curling upward at the front. 1 handfaH sometimes extends along each side ef the toBeggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front. the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or six soe- eupants fH one tobeggan4 and with such combined weight the sledge flies down the chute as if fmpelled from 3 cannon Both men and women enter i into the sport with great gHsto. for the fan is fast and furious. When There is ] only ona Efave4ef t8 the taboggan He lies rrone HDon t, and in ehis manner. on account of the small amount of re- sistanee that ts offered by the atmes- phere. the maximum Of speed is gained.
 The ehutas are properly controlled ==n order to avoid accidents One tobog- gan 4s not permitted to leave the sum
 nit q the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally, by some nfsehanee in- cured through faulty manipulation Of
 the toboggan. q spill occurs on the
 ehuteland=if following toboggan were
 to dash into the overturned vessel the
 result would be relatively quite as dis,
 astrous and terrible as a collision be-
 tween express trains.

There was a shout of warning from Keeper Snyder and che others who were watching the measurement. but before IIoran could stand erect the whole huge body Of Che python had suddenly taken fife.
