According to the publisher they
wouldn't do for child readers: they
would scare the little ones and would

MANS SENSE OF SMELL.

A writer in Nature, discussing the
rise of the new chemical industry of
producing artificial perfumes. makes a
significant remark concerning the
sense Of smell in human beings. He
declares that it is, as yet, wholly un-
cultured. In walking through the
country" he says, we can rarely iden-
tify particular odor caught until the
sight of the plant from which il
emanates makes us wonder at our hesi-
tation.' He suggests that the growth
OF the perfume industry, which results
in the continual production of new
odors, may lead to a cultivation of the
neglected sense OF smell, which NAV
be capable of as artistic development
as that which color perception has at

Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc-
tion. Subsequently the Athenian
cavalry and all Lacedaemonian SOL
diery wore long hair. The Parthians
and ancient Persians wore long, flow
ing hair. The Franks and ancient
Teutons considered long hair a mark
OF high birth. The Goths looked on
long hair as a mark OF honor and on
short hair as a mark of thralldom;
so did the Gauls. for which reason Ju-
Illus Caesar, when he subdued them
obliged them to cut their hair short
in token of submission. In EnglaId
judges, the speaker of the House of
Commons. and at one time the bish-
ops, wore long hair, while criminals
and paupers wore short hair. On the
other hand, Jewish priests during
their time of service had their hair
cut once a fortnight, and Roman
slaves wore their hair and boards
long, but shaved off their heads when
manumitted. Sailors who escaped

A CURIOUS CASE.

Electricity, according to the Scien-
tific American, played a curious part
in recent law suit. A certain tele-
graph company was not allowed to
have its wire run into a race course.
Telcgraphic operators were stationed
in cupola of a hotel opposite the
grounds, and signals were transmitted
to them from the race track by means
OF electric lights concealed in the hats
or the party seated in a carriage, in.
Guiding the coachman on the carriage.
The results of the races and the bet
ting were thus communicated to the
operators. who were enabled to send
out the information to all poolrooms.
The gentlemen who were electrically
equipped were arrested, and after some
years verdict of $4,000 was obtained
against the detectives who made tho
arrest.
