THE SENSE OF SMELL.
The AbOrigines of Peru Have DeveI-
Oped 1t Wonderfully.

The AbOrigines of Peru Have DeveI-
Oped 1t Wonderfully.
How infinitely minute must be the
particles that emanate from the object
which the dog is tracking, says the
London Mail. Yet the matter is ex-
tremely divisible The tenth part of
grain Of musk will continue for years
to fill a room with its odoriferous par
ticles and at the end of that time will
not be appreciably diminished in
weight by the finest balance. A cubic
Bunsen burner has been found to con-
tain no fewer than 4S9, 100000 dust par
ticles. A drop of blood which might be
suspended from the point of a needle
contains about q million of red fiat
tened corpuscles. Still, though matter
is so marvelously divisible, the olfac-
tory nerves are infinitely more sensi-
tive. Much has yet to be investigated
with regard to the differentiation of
the points in these nerves so that they
may discriminate with such apparent
ly miraculous accuracy. Yet even the
results in the scent of dogs show how
marvelously fine is their discriminating
power. Our sense of smell, unless in
the trained chemist, is not even so
acute as that of the semisavage. The
aborigines of Peru can in the darkest
night and in the thickest woods distip-
guish respectively a white man, ne
gro and one of their own race by the
smell. Much we have gained by civiH-
zation, but not without some loss to our
bodily energies and senses. Mans re-
operative power after an injury is in
the inverse ratio to his social advance
ment. Similarly he seems to become
less acute and delicate in the sense of
smell as he fares better and lives more
comfortably. The faithful dog puts
him to shame.

Greek Nnaes

We learn that the nose of Socrates
was not Greek, but such as Greek art
lists usually assigned to satyrs. Occa-
sionally, as in beautiful group of q
satyr playing dice with a nymph on a
bronze mirror, they gave satyrs anoth-
er kind of nose. The noses Of the Ia
dies in the Tanagra terra Gotta are OF
all agreeable orders of nose, not neces-
sarily Greek. The chances are that tbs
Greeks varied as much as we do in
their noses, while the tradition of their
art preferred the conventional straight
nose. In the same way the kind of RO-
mans who had their portraits done on
coins and gems were just the sort of
energetic, conquering people who have
Roman noses everywhere, like William
of Orange and the Duke of Wellington.

ORIENTAL LANTERNS.
How They Are Made and Uses t.
Which They Are Put.

Which They Are Put.
The lantern of the east is as old as
civilization. Its primary object is to
protect the flame from sudden drafts.
Beyond this is the concentration Of
light for the convenience of a reader
and, last and least, the regard for beau
ty. The oldest form is a perforated
cylinder or rectangular box. OF this
type there are ntimberless varieties, old
and new. The ancie2t ones which have
been preserved are Of iron, copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and hnish,- but few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across. lanterns
made of silver or ivory. These come
from palaces or temples and in most
instances are richly carved Not in
frequently the perforations are fitted
with pieces of colored glass, rock crys-
tai, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the travellers or
street lantern is a feature. This Is u
sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
inches to two and even three feet in
diameter, made of oiled paper, cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lantern Is used to
show the rank of its owner by the col
oring or inscriptions on its exterior.
The humble citizen uses a small affair
in white or red, the official of low rank
a sphere foot in diameter hanging in
front of his sedan chair, while the high
mandarin employs a huge lantern, re-
splendent with his titles In colors. car
ried by an ablebodied cody who walks
a yard in advance
1t is in house lanterns that the great
est variety Is found. OF these the gen.
eral type is a four, tive,' six, seven.
eight or ten sided box, whose length is
usually twice its width Each side is
a pane of glass, plain, ground, frosted
or decorated. From the angles hang
pendants of many sorts. The frame
work Is usually of teak, but ebony,
rosewood, mahogany and other woods
are employed. Often the sides of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass. the latter being covered with
ground designs and the former richly
carved in relief or inset with ivory,
mother-of-pearl or silver
Upon the pendants the artificers put
their hardest work. Some are made of
colored beads, strung and massed with
fantastic shapes and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines of
glittering tinted glass balls betray the
origin of favorite mode of decorating
Christmas trees. Quaint objects in
gaudy enamel or colored porcelain, con-
nected by threads, chains or wires, con-
stitute fourth and very pleasing

icial flowers are popular, especially
with the fair sex.-New York Post

ANCIENT CITIES.

Jerusalem in the days of Solomon
probably did not contain 10000 people
Constantinople at the time of its
greatest splendor as capital of the east
ern empire had a population of about
100000.
Babylon, whose name has come to be
synonymous with dense population,
never had over /, 100000 inhabitants in
its palmiest days, SO the archaologists
declare.
Athens, when she led the Greek
states in repelling the invasion Of
Xerxes, had only 10000 inhabitants,
but Herodotus speaks of this number
as If 1t was something to boast of.
Rome, the mistress of the world, the
great city to which all roads led, Rome
the Eternal" did not exceed 100000
in population. Gibbon, indeed, believes
that it had only 100000, and in this
estimate he and Milman agree.

ANCIENT DISEASE.
Smallpox First Described by Arab
In Sixth Century.

Smallpox First Described by Arabs
In Sixth Century.
The literary as well as the pathologic
history of smallpox presents many
items of very special interest. All read
ers of the clouded annals of the mid
die Ages" are acquainted with the fact
that Arabian writers were for many
centuries the recognized apostles of phi
losophy and physical science-including
the sundry departments of medicine
and surgery-tO the various nations of
western Europe. And it is to one of
these, Abu Becker Mohammed- ben
Zechariah "a. D. S50-932), the earliest
and most original of all the great Mos
lem physicians, that medical science
and medical litera tWe are indebted for
the first recognition of smallpox as
distinct disease and its first description
in written language. This venerable aj;-
thority is generally known to posterity
as Rhazes, name which he derived
from Raj, the place of his birth. His
original description of this formida BILE
disease has been made familiar to Eng
lish inquirers through the medium of
DR.. Greenhill's translation. In addition
to his observations on disease proper
the powers of observation of RhaZes in
physiognomy are demonstrated by such
items of information as, ga man with
large ears is stupid, but long lived"
and in rational therapeutics by his rec
ommendation of the practice of the
game of chess as a cure for melan-
cholia. The antiquity of smallpox is,
as might well be expected. lost in the
midst of ages, but the definite state
ment has been made by Arab historians
that it first appeared in the Abyssinian
army of Abraha at the siege of Mecca
i'll the course of the so called Elephant
war" of A. d. $50 Tor 57D. The legend
is given as follows by one of their best
historians, Tabari: "Thereupon came
the birds of the sea in hocks, every one
with three stones, inLthe claws two, and
i'll the beak one; and they threw the
stones upon them. Wherever one of
these stones struck there arose an evil
wound, and pustules all over At that
time the smallpox first appeared and
the bitter trees. The stones undid them
wholly Thereafter God sent a torrent
which carried them away and swept
them into the sea-" Even one of the
elephants, having ventured within the
sacred Enclosures, was struck by stone
and fell "a victim to the smallpox.
Among the bitter plants which also ap-
peared at that date for the first time,
the rue and colcynth are especially
mentioned.-American Medicine.

WHEN ONE is A GUEST,
The Pleasures of Visiting and tn
Duties of the visitor

The treasures of Visiting and the
Duties of the Visitor.
1t is a pleasing sensation to wake up
in the morning and feel that one is q
guest Strange wall papers and strange
furniture surround ones bed, and there
is a strange view out of the window.
All the jostling demons of worry, anx-
iety and responsibility, whether domes-
tic or professional, who stand ready to
crowd upon our consciousness vanish
in the unfamiliar environment We
have got away out of the claws of the
usual and lie blissfully waiting for a
knock at the door which shall have an
unfamiliar sound.
Downstairs we find new faces. new
pictures, strange books, fresh stand
point. Life has Il new SAVIOR. We taste
it everywhere fn the atmosphere and
in the conversation, even in the bread
and the salt. Our first sensation is that
everything depends upon somebody
else. 1t is nothing to do with us what
ever happens. But presently the old
truism of our childhood, that every sit
uation in life has its duties, comes back
to our mind, and though with our wax
ing thoughts we cast off those of the
home dweller we must Immediately
prepare to take on those of guest, at
least if we are constitutionally con
scientious, which, alas, all guests are
not. They may indeed be divided by
this conscience test into visiting sheep
and visiting goats.
The motto of the conscientious guest
is Nine. Mohl's well known saying, ''It
is shame to eat another mans bread
and give him nothing In returnp Such
a one should be joy to his hostess,
but in the holiday world of hosts and
guests, as in workaday life, good inten-
tions do not always insure success. The
conscientious sometimes fail where the
unconscientious succeed.-London Spec
tator.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Sulphur for the nests, whitewash for
the house and kerosene for the roosts.
Common road dust with little sui
phur mixed in it makes a good dust
bath.
On the farm pound of poultry meat
can be grown at less cost than pound
of beef.
Pullets hatched in summer will not
lay until spring, and it is rarely best
to keep them.
An egg from a good layer will be
more likely to produce a good layer
than an egg from poor layer.
Sorghum seed makes Il good feed for
poultry. When the cane is harvested
for molasses the seed should all be
saved.
The larger and more scarlet in color
, the comb is the nearer the pullet has
approached the period that she is about
to lay.
For good winter layers save the pul
let's that were Matched early. not later
than April, and the yearling hens that
molt early.

The Letters Came Back.

A circumstantial fish story is told by
the London News. The captain of the
steamer Benalder of Leith, on a voyage
to China, threw bundle of old letters
overheard in the Mediterranean. Some
Spanish fishermen of Aguilas, near
Cartagena, later caught large fish
and on opening it found bundle of
letters inside. They took this to the
mayor, who managed to decipher in
one the name and address of the super
intendent of the steamship line in Lon
don and thus to restore the letters to
their owner.

Logan md the Liar.

a man who knew John A. Logan in
southern Illinois before the civil war
said that on certain occasion young
Logan found it necessary to doubt the
veracity of man considerably older
than himself and told him so without
any circumlocution.
Don't you call me a liar, SIR" said
the man excitedly. 81 have reputa-
ton to maintain, and 1 mean to main
tain it if have to do it at the point of
pistol"
"Oh," said Logan calmly, "that won't
be necessary. You maintain your repu-
tation all right every time you tell a
lie."
