smells of cities.

Sir Philip Burne-Jones insists that
each city has its own peculiar odor,
that "A stranger can smell city
THE great blended odor Of the entire
city" There Is truth in his remarks.
When "A stranger enters Munich there
is IA smell as of many breweries-
peculiar, sweetisb, yet pungent
odOr of malt, not at all unpleasant
to a beer drinker. After a day or
two the smell is not remarked, but
after the stranger leaves the city the
smell is distinct in his memory; il ex-
erts a spell il urges him to drop his
work, to take the next steamship.
We have not been in Munich for II
years, but that sweet smell haunts
us still. Paris has peculiarly indi-
vidual odor; so has London, so has
Berlin, so has Dresden. Boston, no
doubt, has it's own smell, which is
highly respectable, but rather musty,
with a suspicion of old family cock
roaches.--Detroit Free Press.

WIPED OFF THE MAP.
The Once Famous Mount sherman
station In the Rocky Noun
tains IL No More.

Since the great railroad tunnel
through Mount Sherman, Wyo., has
been completed and trains now run
under instead of over the giant
steep there has passed forever what
has been for IS years one of the
most peculiar railroad stations in
the world, reports the Chicago
| American.
Mount Sherman station stood on
the very top of a mountain 5000
feet high, in possibly as desolate a
spot as human eye has ever gazed
upon.
Nowhere is there ever visible any
vegetation beyond few scraggy
tufts of alkali wire grass.
Even this can hardly exist in that
region, where one may encounter al
most any day in the summer rain,
sleet, snow and hail, with temper.
allure that often varies from IS de-
grees TO 40 and back again within
few moments; where the wind
never ceases to blow from IS to 20
miles an hour. and where the nerves
terrible shocks during the passing
of storms, with the clouds touching
the ground and here and there hurl-
ing angry lightning bolts into the
mineral rock
Now the map no longer has n
Mount Sherman station. Nothing in
the way of habitation remains to de-
note the past existence of man on
that dizzy height. and il is very
probable that the wierd, rock-clad
spot will never again be visited
III, however. in some future age
science or quest of adventure shall
lead some curious person over the
summit he will find standing silhou-
cited against the sky massive pyra-
mid-shaped pile of chiseled granite
65 feet high, erected three years ago
in honor of the Ames brothers, who
made IL possible to complete the
Union Pacific railroad.
A feeling of sentimentalism will
doubtless now and then creep into
the minds of those who have often
passed this monument. as the
thought that il now stands so far
out of the path of commerce, so far
from the haunts of men, deserted,
to remain there almost as long as
time shall endure.
Several years ago two tramp tele-
graph operators devised a scheme
for making a few dollars without
much effort.
They erected a small shanty at
Sherman, gathered pieces Of rock of

different formations, colored soms
of them with dyes, and over Others
poured melted lead in spots and pound
ed small bits of copper into the cracks.
These. when finished, were specimens
of gold and silver ores" and found a
ready market.
All trains stopped just in front of the
shanty where the two genuises held
forth to have the air brakes tested and
the wheels examined prior to the de-
scent of the mountain.
During these stops passengers were
wont to run over to the shanty to make
purchases of curios.
IL there was ever a time when the
wind did not blow gale at sherman
IT was period previous to the advent
of man up there, and it was to his ever
lasting wind that oddly blew good to
the tramp shopkeepers.
One morning. when the overland
flyer drew up at the old red depot, an
aproned man stood at the door of the
shanty on the opposite side of the
track beating a gong with a vigor
which soon attracted the attention of
the passengers.
Heads popped out of the windows,
and in a moment people came tumbling
out of the cars and made grand rush
for the supposed luncheon counter.
The wind was whistling merry
tune over the summit, and in a very few
seconds hats were rolling among the
rocks and down into the gloom of the
canyon. OF course, the recovery of the
headgear was impossible.
When lot of passengers had been
'uprooted" it was the signal for the
man with the gong TO disappear, and in
his stead came another with a string
of cheap hats and caps, which were
easily disposed of to the unfortunates
at fabulous prices.
