THE USES OF PERFUMES.
nensons Why the Sense of Small
Should he FIattered
From the London Lancet.

Rionl the LONDON Lancet.
considerable difference of opinion exists
In regard to the propriety of using scent
upon the person. The practice is of crien-
tai origin and had for its original object
the desire to make the person pleasing IN
the opposite sex.
1t should be remembered that the basis
or all perfumes is an essential oil of some
kind. derived either naturally from flowers
or leaves or artifcially by a synthetic FRO
cess In either case the essential oil is
| powerful antiseptic, and possesses disinfect-
Ing properties not less in degree than those
OF carbollc acid itself. AS is well known
the essential oils absorb atmospheric oxy-
gen. forming an unstable compound easily
lendlng oxygen for the work of publication
Pine OIL, eucalyptus oil and turpentine act
reaolly In this manner-a fact which prob
ably accounts for the salubrity of the air Of
pine forests and eucalyptus woods
The use of scent by many women is ex-
cessiVe and by men is looked upon as ef-
temlnate-a prejudice that we confess to
sharlng-and yet the question naturally
arises, as We study our environment TO
please the eye by color and natural effects
and to please the by musical notes
why should We not make similar endeavor
70 please the nose by agreeable and fra
grant doors? Each sense may suffer offense
ana there is no reason why each sense
should not be equally defended in this re-
gard AND the use of scent on the pocket
ShiSl, WHICH is Wnefe we
monty find it, is calculated to exercise a
higher office than merely to please the
sense of smell
The handkerchief may easily prove a
source of infection, for 1t is made to be the
common receptacle of secretions from the
nose and mouth, and the employment of
an antiseptic handkerchief is perfectly con-
sistent with the dictates of common bac-
THEOLOGICAL evidences. The liberal use CT
| scent on the handkerchief is calculated TO
make 1t antiseptic and to destroy the germs
in it, owing to the action partly of the
spirit of the scent and partly of the essen
t1al oils dissolved in the spirit Before
therefore, we condemn the persons who use
scent upon the handkerchief for practising
a foppish or luxurious habit we should
remember that they may actually be doing
GOOD to their neighbors by checking the
distribution of infectious materials

THE FAITH OF WOMEN.
More Prone Than Men to Follow Ne"
Teachers.


From the Literary Digest
Mary Lowe Dickinson, honorary presaoeh'
of the National Council Of Women says
that the question has been asked II women
are more given to religious oeiuslons anu

1--WE have only to let the mind follow
along the procession of believers in every
ism and 'ology and 'osophy under the sun,
from those who gave heed to the utterances
that crept from under the poke bonnet Of
the early Shaker Ann, to those who hung
on the words of wisdom issuing from the
yellow turbaned monks of the orient, TO
know that the long ranks are largely femi-
nine not in numbers only, but In loyalty
and in zeal. 1t would be foolish TO aeny
that extreme phases of religious teaching
have always found many devoted followers
among women. In every abnormal move
ment they not only outnumber men, but
outrank them in advocacy and Guido them
in sacrifice for Whatever cause mas won
their allegiance"
Mrs Dickinson says, however, that to
concede the fact Of womans greater devo-
ton is not necessarily to admit her greater
weakness and credulity. She insists that
there is a worthy motive to account for this
tendency in women:
"a good woman's hunger to give her best

the alert for something better than she has
yet discovered. Her discomfort with much
