THE SMELLING. EXPERT.
A Valuable Man Who Really Earns His
Living by Following His Nose.

A Valuable Man Who Really Earns His
Living by Following His Nose.
One of the curious trades of New
York is that of the smelling expert,
n man who earns his living literally
by following his nose. He is employed
by manufacturers of perfumery. 1t is
his business to judge of the character,
quality and value of the materials that
go to the making of perfumes.
Much of the perfumery made in this
country is imported from France In
the form Of pomatums, and extracted
with alcohol. The smelling expert
judges the quality of pomatums. An
other and even more remarkable part
of his business is to examine popu-
lar imported perfume, determine from
the smell of what 1t Is made and en-
able his employer to produce it here.
Like the experts Of the distilleries,
who will take any given wine or spir-
its, and after examination produce a
counterfeit which only a connoisseur
could detect as such, the smelling ex-
pert by means of his unerring nose
makes possible the productlon mere OF
any perfume that 1t is desired to imi-
tate.
Possessed of so valuable a nose, he
takes the utmost care of 1t. He does
his best to avoid taking cold, and
guards himself with special care when
the influenza comes round. A single
bad cold may disable his nose for
weeks and throw him out of employ
men.t He avoids also, as far as pos
sible, all strong odors, good or bad
to preserve the delicacy of his olfac-
tories.
The profession on the whole is less
injurious to health than that Of the
tea faster or the wine taster.-New
York Sun.
