STRANGE INFLUENCE OF DOORS
Many Women, who Can En-
dure Only Certain Kinds.

The perfume of flowers exerts q
peculiar influence upon men and wom-
en-. Oftentimes this influence is
agreeable and altogether to the lik-
ing of the person concerned, but fire.
quently exactly the opposite is true,
and the odor of some one flower is
SO offensive that it even produces
faintness.
Naturally women. whose love for
flowers is more noticeably developed
than that of men, are more suscep-
tible to the effects of these odors,
and their aversion to certain flower
perfumes is so marked that it is
oftentimes little short of an ailment,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Florists are familiar with this pc
culiarity of women, and while they
are inclined to attribute the infu-
ence of flower odors to imagination,
they cannot overlook the fact that
such condition really exists.
AN example of this sort came
under my notice not long ago." said
a downtown florist. ~ woman
came into my store to give an
order for some flowers for party.
She did not want violets, because
they did not light up well, and she
spurned roses because she was tired
of them. She wanted lilies, because
her guest of honor bore that name
but the odor of the flower was re-
pulsive to her, and she hesitated
about ordering them on this account
L finally succeeded by a good deal of
persuasion in getting her to take
them, and l afterwards learned that
she was compelled to leave the room
on the night of the party, because of
faintness brought on by the heavy
odor of the blossoms
Another example was a young
woman who ordered handsome cross
for friend of whose death she had
just been notified Hyacinths, white
flowers of that sort. and fine ferns
were used. Fortunately she ordered
the flowers sent to her home for in
spection. When the floral piece was
delivered it appeared that the man
had not died, but was recovering.
Consequently the flowers were
stripped from the frame, and as it
requires a great many to fill one of
these pieces, the collection filled to
overtiowing every bowl in the house.
The odOr of hyacinths was every
where. Since then the young woman
has refused to buy white flowers for
any consideration. She says they
sicllen her with funereal suggestions.
1.-The safest and most popular flow
ers here in Chicago are violets, lilies
of the valley, and carnations, in the
order named. There is something
sweet and caressing in the odor Of
the first two that almost invariably
appeals to the gentIer sex. In con-
nection with the carnation | have no.
ticed popularity that it always at
tracts the large, athletic appearing
woman, the typical American girl. It's
pungent, invigorating sweetness finds
a responsive something in the breast
where independence reigns.
''Imagination has much to do with
the influence of these odors over
women, for while northern women
may not know it it is still true that
forcing and grating rob flowers of
much of their sweetness. When they
are put on the market here little of
their original perfume remains"

Does Sap Split Trees:

The general opinion is that the
sap of trees goes up in the spring
and down in the fall, just before the
cold weather sets in. This is not so,
according to one authority. He says
the water in trees increases from
the time the leaves wither, so that
there is much more moisture in the
trees in the winter than in the sum-
mer. 1t is not until the warm wealth
er absorbs this moisture from the
branches that the sap begins to go
up. As to trees that split, this is not
caused from the freezing of the wa
ter in the trees, but from the con-
traction of the trunk because of the
cold. The same thing occurs when
wood Is placed in the kiln to dry. In
the spring, when the thaw comes, the
tree expands to its original dlmen-
sions.-Nature.

Education and BeRuty,

An American scientist has come tc
the conclusion that the tendency of
too much education or intellectual de-
velopment in women is to make them
lose their beauty. He instances the
FARO women of India. They are su.
preme. They WOO the men, control the
affairs of the home and the nation
transmit property. and leave the men
nothing to do. The result is. says the
scientist, that they are the ugliest
women on earth.

In New England cobweb pills are
supposed to cure the ague, and in the
south a certain knuckle bone in a
pigs foot is a sure cure for rheuma-
tism, if it be carried in the pocket or
worn suspended from a string around
the neck. Tracing the SPIDERS web
pill, it originated in China, where ali
species of insects have certain positive
or negative values in medicine, saws
writer in the Detroit Free Press. In
Picking it is customary to give two
or three scorpions or spiders to pa
tient i'll of fever. In Ireland tbe
peasantry swallow small spiders alive
to effect cures. From these the cob
web pill of the New England native was
easy. In Flanders the live spider is
fastened into the empty shell of wal
nut and worn around the neck of the
patient. As the creature dies the fever
decreases, until it is gone entirely.

CAUSE OF MISS HAYESS DEATH.
Alcoholism, CorOner's Physician Thinks
Bruises Caused by Falls.

Tho unexplained death Of young woman
named Maud Blanche Hayes, in her rooms
at 273 West Thirty-sixth street. was re-
ported to the Coroner's office late on Sum
day night by her mother. Mrs. Lucy Hayes
With the notice was coupled the informa-
ton that the young woman name had been
associated with that Of the son Of rich
brewer. A far as the Coroner and police
could learn he had not seen tho young
woman for some time before her death.
According to tho Investigation made by
Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon, the girl
had two bad bruises on her face and fore
head, caused before death. Mrs. Hayes
said that her daughter had been i'll for q
week with heart weak ness. She said that
a physician had prescribed for the girl
about a week ago, and that since then she
had administered whiskey in large guam
titles to her daughter.
She said that the girl had fallen out Of
bad twice while unattended and that these
fails caused the bruises upon her head.
DR.. O'Hanlon thought that death had been
caused by alcoholism, but said that he
would hold an autopsy to-day.
Mrs. Hayes averred that her daughter
had been engaged to marry the brewers
son and that this engagement was broken
last July. At that time the girl received
a message from the young man which she
opened in the presence Of her mother.
In the presence OF the messenger:
did Jack send you any money!
The messenger reported this back to the
young man from whom the message came,
and he at once broke OF all relations with
Miss Hayes.

Garfield TO BE TRIED DEC. Is.
Jerome Fails to Have Case Postponed
Till After Legislature Meets.

BrNoHAMToN, N. Y, Oct. 28.-Justice
Sewell overruled the demurrer in the Can
field gambling case to-day and after long
argument on the part of j. B. Stanch-
field, Canfeld's counsel. and Edward Sand
ford. who represented District Attorney
Jerome of New York county, fixed the trial
for Dec is. Justice Sewell Gaid he would
have sustained the demurrer except for the
decision in the Stedeker case, recently tried
in New York.
Mr.. Stanchf1eld reentered a plea Of not
guilty for Garfield and asked that the trial
be fixed for day in November. Mr.. Sand
ford said that it would be impossible to try
the case before Jan. 1, on account of the en-
gagements OF Mr.. Rand. Assistant District
Attorney, who is to conduct the trials Of

alleged manager. He said also that the

should not be obliged to make two trips.
Mr.. Stanchfield pointed out that Assist
ant District Attorney Gray. who represented
Mr.. jerome here In September, argued that
the only reason for wishing the case put
over then was Mr.. Jerome's desire to get a
decision In the LewlSohn matter. Mr.
Stanchfield said also that the Bucklin case
had nothing to do with this one
Mr.. Sanford retorted that the witnesses
were the same, the facts were the same
and the indictments were the same except
that Garfield was the owner and Bucklin
the manager Of the gambling house in ques-
ton
Justice Sewell then set the trial for Dec.
IS. Mr.. Sanford objected, but Mr. Stanch-
field insisted on the date, saying that Mr..
Jerome's Office was simply fighting for time
to get new law passed to compel Lewisohn
to testify. and hot argument followed.
Justice Sewell said that inasmuch as he had
promised the defence that he would set the
trial 80 that the case could not be affected
by new legislation he would not make a fur

The Court then granted Mr.. Stanchfeld's
application for an order compelling the
District Attorney to file bill of particulars
showing the names of persons in Canield's
place and the times so present during the
period covered by the indictment.
1t is said here that flaw has been dis
