srn ellis Of Cities.

A famous English artist insists that
each city has it's own peculiar odor;
that stranger can smell city-"the
great, blended odor of the entire city"
There is truth in his remarks. When
stranger enters Munich, there is
smell as of many breweries-a pecul>
lar, sweetish, yet pungent odor of malt,
not at all unpleasant to beer drinker
After day or two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell is distinct in his
memory; it exerts a spell; it urges him
to drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been in Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunts us still. Paris has a Pc
culiarly individual odor; so has Lon
don, so has Berlin, so has Dresden.
Boston no doubt has its own smell,
which is highly respectable, rather
musty, with a suspicion of old family
cockroaches.

Boxer blood in him was shown in
Sewickley last night.
John Curtis, colored, has been a
regular customer of Chan Yen Lee, a
laundryman in that fashionable su-
burb. Last night Curtis sent down to
Chan's for his laundry, but the mes
senger received the chilling reply:
No money, no shlrtee."
Thereupon Curtis went to the shop
mu0tering something aboun "yailler'
rrash.'' two minutes later a. black
cloud issued from the laundry, close
" followed by flashes of yellow, and
when the awe struck witnesses finally
caught up with the procession. Chan
had Curtis cornered in grocery store
and was calmly chopping off large
chunks Of ''black meat with q

His Graaf Pressure.

The German officer is nothing if not
practical, so there may be an element
of truth In the following amusing inch
dent, which comes from Berlin. says
the London Express:
A sergeant was perplexed how to
deal with bowlegged recruit. AT last
lie bethought himself of plan. TAX
ing a one mark piece, about the size OF
q shilling, he ordered the recruit to put
it between his knees and said, Woe
betide you if you let the money fall
before come back in five minutes!"
The unhappy recruit, with knees
pressed together, remained in that un.
comfortable position for minute, and
at last, struck by happy idea, he took
the coin from between his knees and
put it in his pocket.
When the sergeant hove in sight.
he hurriedly replaced what he thought
to be the same coin. 1t was, however,
two mark piece, about as large as a
form. The sergeant smiled as he COM
plinented the bowlegged recruit on
the great pressure he must have ex'
erted on the coin between his knees.

The wrath OF the nee.

At the end of winter most hives nave
exhausted their stores and become
dangerous. When this is the case. woe
to him who touches the hives. Smoke
has lost its spell. and you shall scarce
have emitted the first puffs before
10000 acrid and enraged demons will
dart from within the walls, overwhelm
your hands, blind your eyes and black
en- your face. No living being except.
they say, the bear and the sphinx afro
nos, can resist the rage OF the mailed
legions. Above all. do not struggle.
The fury would overtake the neighbor-
ing colonies. There is no means Of
safety other than instant flight through
the bushes. The bee is less rancorous.
less implacable. than the wasp and
rarely pursues her enemy. If flight be
impossible. absolute immobiity alone
might calm her or put her off the scent.
She fears and attacks any too sudden
movement, but at once forgives that
which no longer stirs.-Harper's

Mexico is ProsDerin0

Heredaty and Genius.

Expositions of the laws of heredity
fail IN affording no clew to the under
standing of genius. AS these laws of
inheritance are now eXpounded ii
would seem that no offspring could
ever rise above the average level of
preceding generations, and we have all
had thousands of commonplace an
cestors. In animals excellence is, as a
rule, easily accounted for; in man it is
not SO. How comes 1t that in the same
family one member rises not merely
above all the rest, but above the bulk
of mankind? One only of the Bona
parties was Napoleon; one only of
the Shakespeares could write Ham
let" And why should the son Of an
ordinary Lincolnshire farmer and his
probably ordinary wife have turned
out not merely the greatest natural
philosopher Of his time, but Of all
time? We are still waiting for Sec
ond Isaac Newton. To say that such
men are sports is to give us word
for a thing, and merely to cover ig-
norance. The sport must be caused,
and what was the cause? The excel
lent work being done in tracing the in
dnence of heredity only makes more
astounding these prodigies Of genius

how coal Resemb1es Ice.

The Electrical Review calls attention
to an interesting explanation of tee
burning Of coal. Coal petroleum and
illuminating gas are related to one an
other much as are ice, water and
steam. For this reason perfect conf
busticM Of liquid fuel is already ad-
vanced a tong step toward vaporiza-
ton, just as ice is advanced toward
steam when turned into water. The
volatile elements of coal are locked up
in solid form, or virtually frozen solid.
Professor Dewar demonstrated how
great an amount of heat must be tax
en- from the so called permanent gases
to make them liquid and how much
more to make them solid. Yet nature
has solidified gas into the form Of coal
and solid coal. like solid ice, win only

DOGS hND GIFTS
CARRYING SMALLPOX
War OF determination Declared
When the Disease Became
Alarming


KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. 21.-A
war of extermination has been de-
clared against dogs and cats in Argen-
tine, Kan, suburb of Kansas City,
because they are believed to be in a
large measure responsible for the
epidemic of small pox that prevails
there.
The order was issued yesterday, but
by whom is a mystery. Members of
the Board of Health, when questioned,
denied that they were in any way re-
sponsible, but, just the same, CANNES
and felines have been killed by whole
sale by police, sanitary officers and
citizens alike, ever since the word first
went out. Hundreds have already
been disposed of. The bodies are
fumigated thoroughly before they are
taken to an isolated spot for burial
The claim is made that small pox
germs are carried from infected homes
in the hall Of dogs and in the fur of
cats, and the understanding is that
all such ii finals are to be killed on
sight II is probable that the schools
of the city will be closed and church
services discontinued until the dis
ease is stamped out. Many of the re-
cent cases of smallpox have resulted
fatally.

A safe Age.

The insuring of ones life is one Of
those things which one is most apt to
put off. There are few, however, who
postpone what ought to be the inevita-
bic until so late a period in life as did
the tough old smack owner Of Grimsby.
When he presented himself at the in-
gurance Office, he was naturally asked
his age. His reply was. Ninety y
s"Why, my good man. we cannot in
sure you said the company. why
not?'' he demanded. why, you are
ninety-four years OF age" What OF
that?" the old man cried. Look al
statistics, and they will tell sou that
fewer men die at ninety-four than al
any other age."-Loudon Business IL

The Arabs OF Syria.

Among the Arabs of Syria a man
changes his name after the birth Of
his eldest son assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu. meaning
father Of" Thus. if the son is called
Fudle Allah, Goods Bounty" the ia
ther will be henceforth known as Abu
Fudle Allah, "Father of Gods Bounty"
In like manner the mother would be-
comefknown as En- Fudle Allah, Moth
er Of Gods Bounty" This custom Is
not merely one of common speech, hut
extends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when d man though married has
no son the courtesy of oriental soci-
ETY. demands that he should be ad~
dressed as Abu Salim or Abu Nah
moud, after an imaginary son whom
politeness confers upon him.

Such as to Make Cinnamon Jealous
Christians, Says n Missionary.
Rev. w. j. Doherty delivered a mis-
Bionary lecture in the First Methodist
church In St. Paul last night in which he
said that the Chinaman possesses many
characteristics away ahead Of those Of
Americans. Although a Buddhist and
heather, he Is Jealous in the cause, and
that puts to shame the Americans. He
added:
To-day the Chinese are ancestor Worship
pers,- and the highest aim Of the average
Chinese woman is to some day become d
man. Her religion teaches her that some
day she may become identified with the op-
posite sex. And this burning desire ia not
to be wondered at when one comes to wit
ness the brutalities that she is called upon
to endure daily by her husband. He treats
her as we would not treat yellow dog.
But walt until the Chinese have been con-
verted to Christianity and you will see zeal.
GUS lot of workers, who will accomplish just
as much for the cause AS they are doing
against it to-day. Once in the fold thcil
zeal will know no bounds.
When a mother will offer up her new born
babe because che thinks her religion COM
mands, is there anything on earth that she
will stop short Of, as long as she thinks she
is in the right? When she becomes converted
to Christianity, will she not be just as zeal
GUS in the cause Of Christ? /!

AGAINST License for a Saloon.

The saloon triumphed again yesterday
In the st. Paul city council, and the as
sembly committee on licenses unanimous
ly recommended the granting OF license to

near the Pacific Congregational church.
Prohibition was championed before the
committee by twenty women Of the
church, John Copeland, Il. Milton Fowble
and by Attorney Doty, the Merriam Park
prohibitionist and bottle Of whtskey
Mr.. sDoty's arguments and Mr.. -Fowbie's
protests centered around this bottle. The
bottle was held forth-closely stoppered-S q
before the sceptical committee as evil
dence of what the suspected saloon had
sold once and might sell again. Testi-
mory as to, the reputation Of the 'plaoe"
was supplied by several of the ladies'.
Bulky protests were read from residents
In the neighborhood.
But William Hamm Of the HaInm Brew
ing company contended that the saloon
had sought in due form for the license,
and that another saloon had remained un-
disturbed still nearer to the church.
The professors will carry their appeal
Tonight before the whole assembly.
