The fact that certain animals, and eS-
pecially the dog, will recognize the pro-
pinquity Of their masters or friends
although it may have been impossible
for them to have seen them or heard
their voices has long since suggested to
psychologists and others the idea that
every human being has distinctive
odor peculiar to himself, and which re-
mains more or less constant. Otherwise
how would it be possible for the blodO-
hound, for instance, to take the trail
of an individual and follow it for miles
through crowded thoroughfares, as
well as through open country, and un-
erringly pick out the individual from
among hundreds of others?
This idea has recently received sig.
Bett, in the Archiv der Gesammten
Physiologie. The doctor states that a
friend of his, with bandaged eyes and
every precaution against collusion, was
enabled by the sense Of smell alone to
recognize persons with whom he was
acquainted, and to call their names the
moment that they came into the room
and at the distance of several PAGES.
The experiments were varied in a mum.
Der of ways, but with the unerring fac.
ulty of the bloodhound this man detect
ed the identity Of every Individual pre-
sented. Other instances of a similar
keenness are cited by DR.. Bett. Ac-
ccrdlng to the man who gave he exhl'
bition, every family has characteristic
odor common to all the members there
Of, but the intensity of which usually
varies sufficiently among the various
members to enable him to distinguish
each ndividual-Indian Lancet.

IN AN APRICOT ORCHARD.
How the Fruit Is Gathered, Dried and
Prepared for Market.

Prepared for Market.
AS soon as an orchard Of apricots
comes into bearing, advertisements are
inserted in the newspapers of adjoining
towns for women and girls. Thousands
of women leave their domestic duties.
taking with them their families, to en-
gage actively in the sheds of the ranch
ers, cutting the fruit for drying, after
the men have collected it from the
trees.
Sometimes five hundred people will
be engaged upon large orchard. Rules
and regulations are laid down for their
conduct; the women and girls sleep In
the tents provided at low rental by
the management, and either cook for
themselves, or board with what would
be termed in railroad circles a BOARD
ing-boss;" the men, not so many, occu-
py tents in some other and distant part
Of the orchard. The sole requisite being
the ability to pick and cut fruit, an ag-
gregation of humanity representing all
classes of society, from the impecun Gus
English family with cultivated man
ners and aristocratic connections, to
the nondescript, who travels from town
to town in search Of employment, Is
collected together in Industrious activ-
ity for the revenue to be derived.
Each woman has small tray in front
of her, and, after cutting the fruit with
knife, she lays 1t open on the tray.

end; when five are filled they are piled
up, and the operator shouts Tray
whereupon an attendant approaches,
punches ticket with which she has
been previously furnished, and takes
the five trays to the sulphur house.
The women are paid ten cents box,
each box containing sixty pounds of
fruit. All fruit has to be placed in the
sulphur house for several hours, for
the purpose Of bleaching 1t, or causing
1t to retain it's natural color, as well as
to destroy all insect life that may re-
main, otherwise the sun would cause
it to turn black. The trays are then
carried out and placed upon the ground
under the steady rays of the glorious
California sun. Should clouds be hang
ing over, the trays are placed one above
the other until that great purifier and
drier of the universe old Sol, makes his
appearance.
The fruit requires from three to seven
days to dry. At the end of this time
men go out into the orchard with what
are called 'sweat-boXes," and scrape
from the trays all the fruit into these
boxes, in which 1t is left until fully
dried. Finally 1t is hauled to the store
houses and piled up in heaps, perhaps
ten feet high, awaiting the eye of the
critical buyer.-Pearson's Magazine.

ORDER OF NEGRO NUNS.
Only Colored Sisterhood in the United

Only Co1ored Sisterhood in the United
States at New Orleans.
In the old French quarter of New
Orleans, with its narrow streets, lat
ticed windows and jealously guarded
courts, where the fig and orange tree
grow, Is square of rather miscellane-
bus architecture. Its central building,
III Orleans street. is several hundred
years old. 1t has a stately entrance,
with great pillars and old-fashioned,
ornately carved doors. 1t was once
the old Creole opera house and ball
room Of the early days. Now it is the
home Of the colored nuns. Yet the or
der is not such very modern one, af-
ter all, for 1t was founded in New Or
leans over half century ago. Its
members are now well-known figures
on the streets of the crescent city. The
special object of its institution was the
education and moral training of young
colored girls and the care of orphans
and aged infrm people of the race.
One of the most interesting parts of
the convent Is the orphan asylum,
where children ranging In age from the
wee tots just beginning to walk to girls
of II and IA years are cared for. One
of the sisters in charge of the babies
was an ex-slave. She is a real IMAM

ISLANDS WITHOUT OWNERS.
Good Opportunity for a Government
that Has Lighthouses to Spare.

Good Opportunity for a Government
that Has Lighthouses to Spare.
Frederick A. Cook, writing Of Antarc-
tic exploration in the Century, tells
of certain islands that might well be
fitted with lighthouses:
A series of low pyramidal masses ap-
peared under the southern sky. 1t was
like bank of blue fog fringed with
snowy bands. The whole length Of our
seaboard formed an ill-detined, cloud
like aggregation resting on the black
water and extending the entire length
from northeast to southwest. AS we
steamed on, the center groups became
more distinct, and the whole line rose
above the horizon, where we recog-
nized 1t as the northern exposure Of the
South Shetland Islands. During the
afternoon gentle but piercing wind
came from the land, bringing with 1t
a CLASSY air and an easy, silvery sea,
over which the new land stood out in
bold relief. We could distinguish Liv-
ingston Island over our port bow, and
northeastward, melting into the blue
airy distance, were numerous similar
islands. Over our starboard bow was
Smith Island, its base still under the
water sixty miles away.
In general way this coast-line re-
sembles parts of the Greenland land
scape. About the largest islands there
are many small, ice-free isles, or rocks,
which are the resting-places of seals,
penguins, cormorants and gulls. On
the larger islands. and especially on
Livingston Island, there are high peaks
and rounded, dome-like hills, which are
tipped with snow, but their sides are
bare. The valleys are filed with large
glaciers, which send tongues out into
the sea. We saw no glaciers, however,
which came out for any distance into
the water. The limit Of the ice was
generally at high-water mark, where it
wasted away in small fragments.
There was no snow on the coastal low
lands, but there was also nothing to
indicate vegetation. From what we
later learned of the lands farther south,
it Is extremely possible that mosses

there is no hope for grass or trees.
| 1t is very curious that this group OF
islands, about one hundred in number,
with a thousand miles Of accessible
coast-line and several good harbors,
free of ice for much of the year, should
remain unclaimed by any government
and unsettled by human efforts. 1t
would be humane mission If our gov
ernment would take possession Of this
group of islands and place there a
lighthouse, with a supply station for
the preservation Of shlpwrecked sail
ors. Vessels are lost in this vicinity
almost every year, and we do not know
but that some poor seamen are now
stranded on one of the many desolate
islands, awaiting the relief which nev-
er comes.

u most picturesque ceremony" writes
the author of "Oom Paul's People" in

and relatives may arrive day or two

of OK teams are scattered about the sur.

ously whenever more guests arrive:
dancing, feasting and coffee drinking
are carried on In the cottage and every.
where around It; impromptu shooting
matches and horse races are decided,
and Joy Is unconfined. After the cere-
mony. and after all the guests have
kissed the bride and bridegroom, the
wedding feast Is eaten, and then the
guests spend the night in dancing and
playing games. 1t would be breach
OF etiquette for any of the guests to de-
part before the dawn, and, indeed, the
tiddler's music and the sound made by
the dancing feet are often heard until
noon of the following day. The we'd

BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM.

She sat and waited by the edge,
The western sky shone clear and yel-
low,
White mists were rising from the sedge,
The birds drank at the waters edge
She sat and watched for hIm-dear
fellow!
The fields were dim, the sky grew gray,
The stars, like timid flowers, were
budding;
She watched along the lonely way,
While up the smooth sands of the bay
The limpid, silvery tide came flooding.
She watched-but when she saw, at last,
His tall form hurrying from the dis
tance,
She rose, nor look behind her cast,
And walked the other way as fast
AS if he wasn't in existence!

One is reminded Of some Of Cables
stories, the pathos and tragedy thereof:
In the orphan asylum 135 children
are sheltered who would otherwise be
thrown upon the State. These, as we'll

women and many Of the children in the
school, are dependent upon the sisters

Children Not Given for Playthin 8.

"Mothers must remember that their
babies are not given them for their own
pleasure or amusement, nor to display
as marvels to their friends" warns Bar
nettah Brown, writing of Mothers
Mistakes and Fathers Failures" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. But mothers
must consider that from the first mo-
ment of life the child is destined toward
growth, development, progression. A
dallying with this bit Of wisdom in the
beginning makes rare occasions for
much that is disagreeable later. Aud
let no mother make the error of being
baffled by the cry Of 'heredlty.' Much
Of what is called heredity is really imi-
tation Of what Is to be seen and felt In
the environment; and the most oojec.
tionable human heredity can be oN err
come. The inheritance of the divine
spark which is ever ready to fly up
ward must be forgotten"

home. I could enumerate many stock
men and farmers who have nearly
tankrupted themselves, largely on &C
count Of their unfamiliarity with the
growth and development Of these west
ern breeds. Again, quite number OF
farmers came to the conclusion some
years ago that 1t did not pay to keep
cow herd; that the amount OF feed
and care they required rendered them
Improbable; that steers which they
wanted could be bought cheaper than
raised. These very same farmers are
now struggling to develop their COW
herds, and a good herd OF them is en-
We'd almost above anything else on thu
farm. This Is another reason why 1t
pays to keep right on raising ones own
cattle. Nearly every farmer who has
done so is less subjected to financial
embarrassment, because he is more
able to make accurate calculations OF
his income. Then, again, some stock
raisers think there is always money
to be made in full-feeding, when II
very frequently happens that the steers
fulfilled would have netted the owner
more clear cash If they had been sold
off of grass. 1t is now apparently most
profitable here to sell steers between
two and three years old, whether full
fed or sold off grass. Usually four or
FIVE times as much pork as beef can
be produced with the same amount or
corn, and this should be taken into ac-
count in an intelligent comparison
with beef production in its most eco
nomic sense. Usually well bred cattle
make the most gain, and sell for a
higher price than scrubs.

Discriminating on Every Farm.

r. NJ. Allen. in an address to west
ern stockmen, said: AS to scale OF
operations. l have never had any ex-
perience OF feeding a number of cattle
small enough to watch carefully with
my own eyes during the process OF fat
tening. The proper form the industry
of cattle feeding should take. for the
real permanent benefit OF a meat-pro-
ducing country is that of generally
moderate scale of operations, and some
beef, at least, should be produced on
every farm. This IL the only rational
method Of retaining the fertility of the
soil of this country. The only objec-
ton to very small scale Of operations,
such as the production Of half dozen
or ten steers year on one farm. is
the difficulty Of marketing this small
number TO advantage. Another diff
ficulty in the way of marketing
small numbers is. that many of the
class of farmers who are compelled
through limited capital. to feed on
very small scale II at all. do not. in
this part Of the world at least, know
enough about cattle to be able to get
fair value VIXEN they sell them. Scat
tered about through every portion of
the country are men feeding on a more
or less liberal scale who are we'll
posted and skillful cattlemen, but |
Judge that there Is a far larger num-
Der of farmers who should understand
the practice OF cattle feeding but who
do not. This number will naturally
become smaller: but 1t is particularly
this class whom 1t Is important
to instruct. as the practice OF
cattle feeding upon all such
farms, II properly done, will con-
tribute much more to the strength OF
meat production as an industry than
the larger operations of a small num-
her of feeders. l doubt II we shall ever
see the ideal picture that have drawn
fully realized, and cattle feeding win
probably continue to be more or less
Of special industry. but It should be
our aim to approximate this condition
as much as possible.
