Few Of us, it seems, are able to dis.
tinguish any large number of odors.
A writer in nature, discussing the rise
of the new chemical industry of pro.
ducing artificial perfumes, remarks
that the sense of smell is as yet
wholly uncultured. "In walking
through the country" he says, 1--WE
can rarely identify particular odor
until we see the plant from which II
emanates." He suggests that the neg.
lected sense of smell may be capable
of as artistic developments as that
which color perception has attained.

change: He had for year past been

reaching her heart had on numerous
occasions taken her driving behind a
fine horse he owned. He finally pro.
posed and was accepted, but the me- xt
time he called it was with a different
horse. Thereupon the girl wanted to
know what had become of the high
stopper she knew so well. "Sold him
for $l25 this morning" was the reply.

again or get someone else to go driv.

absurdity of doing as she demanded

Thereupon he went to the purchaser
and offered him $50 bonus, but was re-
fused. Then he was foolish enough to
tell the whole story, which is why his
neighbors are unable to agree as to
whether he is man or a mouse.
