OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

John H. Simon, the grocer, is having
the barn near his house on Newton
Heights transformed into a dwelling
house. Notwithstanding the fact that
it may retain some of its barn-like APP
pearance. several have already spoken
for it, SO scarce are the rents in this
locality at present.
Mrs Hezekiah Davis of Newton
Heights and Walter Capewell of Davis
street are on the sick list.
At the meeting recently held at All
Saints chapel by the Friendly Help
ers, the following officers were elected
for the next six months: Allison
BlatchIey. president; Harold Elton,
e-president; Miss Nellie Du Bots,
secretary; Miss Edith Smith, treas
Aurer Norman Dains general manager;
G. T.. Warner and Frank Stoddard, au-
ditors; Harry Slade, Irving Nelson and
Miss Edith Boden, membership com
mittee. They will again meet at the
chapel tomorrow evening to make
plans for their entertainment which is
to be given on April ri.
Almost each day the report of a gun
is heard near the main entrance to the
pin factory, and some may wonder
what all this shooting is meant for.
1t is to brighten away the sparrows
which have come to build their nests
on the large pine tree there in such
numbers that it is not altogether safe
to expose oneself under it with fine
clothes.
The Oakville Social club will give
another smoker and athletic exhibition
at their club room on Davis street Fri
day evening, April %.

The New idea.


A bright new star had appeared in
the literary armament There was no
doubt Of the newcomers genius.
The critics hailed him with wonder.
The college professors discussed him,
and the people read his book and were
awed.
AT the women's club his name was
mentioned ninety seven times out OF
every possible hundred.
He had hit upon a new idea. 1t was
marvellous that nobody had ever
thought OF the thing before. The world
was amazed.
His originality caused people who
had never thought before to stop and
think. 1t was agreed that he had
given the world a new wonder.
And what was his idea? What was
this subject that had remained through
all the countless ages to be made mar
velous under his consideration?
Had he travelled into some hitherto
unexplored region to find it?
No.
He has not strayed beyond the Dor
ders of his own township. His idea
was waiting for him when he was
born.

In a Rowerx Rcstaurant

Henry War. Beecher was amused
when lie went into Bowery restaurant
on one occasion and heard the wait
err give such orders to the cook as
"Sinkers and GOVT! etc. ST
watch me give that waiter an order
which / believe he won't abbreviate,"
remarked Beecher at length as the
waiter approached. Then he said:
Give me poached eggs on toast for
two, with the yolks broken"
But the waiter, equal to the emer-
gency, walked to the end of the room
and yelled:

"REN HuR. .

The scene of all scenes in Klaw and
Erlangers mammoth production OF
I:Ben MUIR" which is to be presented
pit Polls next Monday, Tuesday and
"wednesday, and for which seats are
how on sale, is the miracle on Mount
Olivet, with which the performance
Terminates. This final scene in the
drama shows the reunion of Ben-Hur,
his mother and sister and Esther after
the passing of Christ into Jerusalem.
THE mother and sister of Hur who
were stricken with leprosy. have been
eleansed by the Nazarene. and they
hre surrounded by a wondering multi
tude, who sing praises to Jesus of
Nazareth. In this incident of the
Drama Christ does not appear as a
4 personality. The curtain rises on the
gathering of the multitude who come
< but of Jerusalem to worship Him,
waving branches of palms and singing
anthems. The lepers appear, guided
by Arrah. Christ passes higher up
( the Mount. The afflicted ones raise
their hands to Him in supplication
4 hnd a great shaft of wondrously bril-
liant light, suggestive of His presence,
falls on their heads and they are
healed. In the book story the tale en-
braces the Crucifixion. This incident
could not, Of course. have a place in
any dramatic presentation except the
Passion Play, performed at Oberam-
mergau every ten years as religious
Rite. Ending with the miracle scene,
the drama of "Ben Hur" maintains
the religious interest of the story in
most remarkably effective way at
the same time treating 1t with the ut
smost reticence and respect. The mu-
pic Introduced in this scene is equal to

COULDN'T SMOKE THEM OUT
How Two Japanese Naval Students
Turned the Tables on a Party
of Hazers.

An American naval officer who was
student at the naval academy with Com
modoTe Matsmulla, of the Japanese navy
recently wounded on the bridge of hi
ship, describes an experience during
their student days, when the young Jap
anese got the best Of a hazing party. TIL
New York Sun prints the story:
"A pluckier fellow than Matsmulla,
more l~evel-headed chap never met. HI
was graduated in 1873. Part of the time
his friend, Sartaro Ise. was In the acad.
envy with him.
AT the academy Mats as he was
called, was very popular, and he was d
midshipman when hazing was at its
worst. The Japs had never heard the
word haze, and had no conception of its
meaning.
"One night. hearing a good deal OF
noise in their room, l went over. and
when ! opened the door all | could see
was q dense smoke out of which came
several arms. I was jerked into the
room and the door closed. The Japs
were being treated to a smoker. The
windows were all closed, and even the
keyhole and crack under the door were
stuffed.
On the narrow mantelpiece stood the
future Japanese hero, Matsmulla, look
lng like one of his old-fashioned idols,
but as smiling as a basket Of chips. He
was ordered by the hazers to sing a song
In Greek. OF the language he knew but
two words, Alpha and Omega, and these
he worked so cleverly and with such
good nature that he was lifted down.
Both the Japs took the medicine with
a pluck that was their salvation. In
half an hour the air in the room was un-
hearable, and even the hazers began &c
weaken. Two of them found it con-
venient to get out. Then Mats spoke i
I'VE sorry you third-cIass men have
engagement he said. We like you 10
stay and smoke another pipe
Not a word was spoken. Most of the
third-elass men were at that stage
""S eAOS uAu hIt udit W UUtH I1plT
mouths.
Il don't know how long We could have
stood 1t. confess that I did not feel al
together happy myself when Mats said:
Amy third-class gentleman like an
other pipe? There are plenty
tn mere suggestion drove one Of the
hazers out. Then one of them cried out
that the officer of the day was coming.
and they all tossed their ppes into the
c~himney-place and ran.
1T was a subterfuge to enable them
to get out. Mats had smoked them out.
'Third-class men not smoke much he
with q laugh, as they disappeared.
What clinched his popularity was
that when the officer of the day did come
along Mats room was still full OF
smoke, and Matsmulla took all the blame
for the violation OF the rule against
smoking, and did not give the hazers

ANIMAL AND RACIAL DOORS.
Distinctive Efiuvial Pe~culiarities Are
Directly Traceable TO Ma
tionalities.

That every human being and every
animal possesses an individual odor
we know, although generally our own
sense Of smell cannot distinguish one
from another, for the more sensitive
scent Of the dog does this with ease
from the slightest traces. That the
personal odor of an entire race has
a character of its own we also know,
says the Literary Digest. In most
cases this odor is displeasing to mem
bers of different races. The odor Of
the negro is often spoken Of by white
races as offensive, but it will be newa
to most of us that the odor of Euro
peans is quite as Objectionable to the
japanese. A Japanese physician, DR..
Burtaro Adacki, has recently pub
lished some remarkable observations
or this subject, we are told by a writer
in the American Inventor, from whom
we quote the following paragraphs:
This physician states. that it is
certain that the western peoples pos
sess a natural odor which Is not per-
ceiged by them, but which is clearly
p~erceptible to the yellow race After
a certain length of time, however, both
japanese and Chinese who have taken
up their residence in Europe become
~habituated to this odor, 1t being the
experience of these European residents
that the odor of Europeans, which at
first was intolerable, after several
weeks residence becomes supportable.
Every living animal possesses in
general a characteristic odor-horseS,
dogs, cats, etc, man himself having
an emanation which is a part of the
race and which may be individual and
variable with age and condition OF
health. The sudoriparous glands pro-
duce the emanation perceived by the
sense of smell, although 1t is true that
the Chinese and Japanese have little
or no odorous emanation. When these
races perspire, their perspiration has
no odor, a fact which is doubtless
chiefly a question of race, although
also probably one of alimentary re-
gime. In the white races observers
who possess an acute sense of smell
can distinguish solely by this means
those persons who follow a vegetarian
regime and those who eat meat, al
times the difference between these two
classes of persons being very pro
nounced. The individuals who nour-
lsh themselves on meat exhale, under
the influence Of the fermentation of
secretions, a much stronger
than vegetarians. Experimenters
in ethnography know that there exist
provincial odors, the odor of Bruins
wick being different from that of Ba-
varia, that of Savoy different from
that of Normandy.
THE Japanese are chiefly yegetari-
ans, and for this reason their skin ex-
hales odors which are scarcely per-
ceptible; but here clothing plays its
role, for If we superimpose many lay
ers of tissue closely around the body
perspiration is produced, and with it
The odor Of dissemination. The race
and individual color also have a Ger.
tain influence, since brunettes, blondes
and red-haired people all exhale very
different odors of the body" {
