The Reason a Little Girl Agreed to q
Painful Operation.

Painful Operation.
There is one little girl in Washington
who recently gave her parents an ex-
hibition of her nature for which they
were totally unprepared. The child
was cross eyed, and her affiiction was q
source Of extreme annoyance to herself
and family. An oculist was consulted,
who advised an operation TO remedy
the defect, and so 1t was decided to
take the little one to hospital in Bal
timOre. The utmost secrecy was OBJ
served In the matter Miss Annie had

tooth pulled. and. of course. 1t was to
be expected that she would enter seri-

She was taken to Baltimore under
the impression that she was going on
q pleasure trip with her father and
mother. When they arrived at the hos
pital. the mother took her daughter In
her lap and nervOusly preached the
real object Of the trip. She set forth

ment which Is the lot of the cross eyed

increase as she grew older.
"NOw. Annie" she said finally. 1--WE

delicate work than stiff old negro.
The little pantomime begins to take

THE SMELLING EXPERT.
Valuable Man in the Perfumery
Line Earns His Living by Fol-
lowing His Nose.

One of the curious trades of New
York is that of the smelling expert,
a man who earns his living literally
by following his nose. He is en-
ployed by manufacturers of perfum-
cry. 1t is his business to judge of the
character, quality and value of the
materials that go to the making of
perfumes, says the New York Sun.
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 popular
imported perfume, determine from
the smell of what it is made, and en-
able his employer to produce it here.
Like the experts of the distillers,
who will take any given wine or spir-
its, and after examination produce
counterfeit which only connoisseur
could detect as such, the smelling ex-
pert by means of his unerring nose
makes possible the production here of
any perfume that it is desired to imi-
tate.
Possessed of so valuable nose, he
takes the utmost care of it. 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
ment He avoids also, as far as posi-
BILE, all strong odors, good or bad, to
preserve the delicacy of his olfactories.
The profession on the whole is less
injurious to health than that of the
tea faster or the wine faster.

VIGOROUS APPLE TREES.
Some in Connecticut That Were
Blown Down, Hut Survived for
Three Score Years After.

In the year 1927 an apple tree was
planted in Connecticut, near Ston-
ington. Three years afterward it
was grated, as is supposed, with
scions from Roxbury russell tree.
In the great September gale of 1915
the tree was blown over, but lived
for threescore years longer before
the body succumbed to decay. At
the same time one of the branches
that touched the ground took root
and a vigorous sprout grew up. Grad
ually the old trunk decayed and ten
years later was entirely rotted away,
while, like the mantle of Elijah fall
ing on Elisha, the whole treetop was
left resting upon the young sprout,
with its new, strong roots. The tree,
after it's prolonged life of a century
and three-quarters, is, or was re-

The orchard of the writer's father
contained an apple tree which was
uprooted in the same memorable
gale of 1915, says a Hartford CORE
spondent of the Farmer, but mas )

to the roots. This kept them from

new roots were thrown downward
and the tree tenaciously retained its
hold on life. The writer well remen.

Employee,

Japan has discovered a novel use
for the N-ray, and soon a most mod
ern machine will be working as IA de-
tcctiye in the mint in the mikado's
realm.
An order on Queen q Co., an optical
goods firm in Philadelphia, from the
mikadO Of Japan, has been placed
through representative who is buy
ing various wares, from engines to
needles, in this country. The Philu
delphians have been commissioned to
supply complete set Of N-ray APP
paratus Of improved design.
In explanation Of the purpose for
which the instruments are to be USED
the representative Of Japan said that
the mikado's mints had been robbed
habitualiy by employees, who would
surreptit.ously swallow the newly
nrnted coins. All sorts Of devices To
prevent this system Of loot had been
tried IN vain until the director OF til,
imperial mints, with oriental ingenu-
ity, decided TO bring science to play
the part of detective.
