The annual reunions during this season

about the festive board many men who

The Fragrance of Flowers.

Meehan's Monthly.
A little child, just four years old. seeing
a Japanese lily in my hand, said: 1T
smells like candy, where is the sweet?"
Sure enough-where is the sweetness OF
flowers? Mrs. Somerville, in her "Molecu-
lar and Microscopic Science" published in
1869, says: Sugar is almost as universal
a constituent of the higher classes Of plants
as cellulose and starch. etc" Does the
sugar give the sweet odor?
Chambers's Encyclopedia says: 1.-THE ma
ture of odorous carnations is so little
known that ii is impossible to give a
definite account of the mode in which they
produce sensory Impressions" Must, then,
the query of a little child remain unan-
swered, or can Professor Meehan enlighten
us? He has certainly much communion
with nature, and she may have divulged
the secret to him and not TO another.

CUBANs EXPREsS:sYMPATHY
Resolution of the Convention on the
Death ofQueen Victoria

Havana. January 25.-At today's ses-
sion of the Cuban constitutional con-
vention, a resolution signed by five
delegates was presented by General
Sanguilly, requesting Governor Gen
eral Wood to forward to King Edward
VII. an expression of the sympathy of
the Cuban people.
Senior Lorent said that, while per-
sonally he sympathized deeply with
England, it was not part of the work
of the convention to adopt resolutions
of sympathy.
General Sanguilly replied that a rcso-
luton was adopted by the convention
thanking President Mckinley; that an
other had been Offered thanking Gener-
al Lee and that the same procedure
could be followed in this instance.
General Rivera, who said thab Gen
eral Lee was far more deserving OF a
resolution thar Great Britain referr-
ed to what he called "England's acts
Of humanity in The Boer war; and
said he doubted whether England would
recognize the Cubans as "a nation, and
that the convention by adopting the
resolution might lay the Cuban people
open to a slight.
Senior deQuesada declared that cuba
owed much ito England's friendly atti-
tude during the Spanish-American war
as that attitude had helped to free
Cuba.
The resolution was adoptad-13 to 10
