MANS SCENT WHAT DEER FEAR.

George Capen, of Boston, who is
taking an outing in the Maine woods
for his health, and is spending it in
studying the habits of the deer, has
learned at least one Fact about deer
which has not been recognized by
hunters or naturalists.
81 think / have demonstrated, "
said Mr.. Capen, "that it is not man
but the smell of man which causes
the deer to take alarm. To prove
my hypothesis | have often placed
clothes which had been worn by
members of Our party so the deer
could smell them, and in every case
the animals have been as badly fright
ened as if living human being had
been in the garments.
"More than this, have proved
that the smell of human being acts
as an irritant to the nostrils of the
deer, causing them to sneeze vio-
lently and repeatedly, the way man
will after he has inhaled red pepper
or tobacco dust.
$50 soon as the human odor reach
es feeding deer it will wrinkle the
flesh surrounding its nostrils and curl
its upper lip back, exposing the tooth
less gums at the front Of the upper
Jaw. Then it shakes its head, the
way it will when annoyed by flies,
after which it begins to sneeze.
"The conduct of the deer indicates
extreme annoyance instead of terror,
and am fully convinced that when
the animal runs away it does so to
escape from the odor which has
vitiated the atmosphere and brought
on a fit of sneezing."

NICKNAMEs.

Perhaps [ should entitle this short
contribution Nicknames," and yet
that would not be appropriate. A
nickname is one given to person
constantly and that serves, either in
ridicule or otherwise, to indicate some
defect or popularity in the person.
The names to which | purpose re-
ferring seem to attach more to the
nationality than to the person. In
the United States when person does
act -lzaaox.s .. be,s,s-saassse- he calls Him
Johnnie" Out west if a stranger
turns up he is sure to be- called
Tack" at least until his real name
is known to the settlers. If you meet
a Chinaman you are liable to call
him "John" matter what his
name may be. In France they call
a person whose name is unknown
Jacques" In Mexico it is PEDRO"
In Cuba the natives call all Ameri-
cans and Englishmen Charlie. /" And
in the southern states they call every
hotel waiter George" If man is
Scotchman he will at once be called
"Sandy" or Donald; if an Irish
man he will be called Pat or
Mike; if a French-Cana
Johnny" and thus we may run
through an indefinite list. But the
name used apparently and by COM
mon consent, and not always in an
offensive sense, seems to designate
the country or race rather than the
individual. Why it should be SO has
long been a puzzle to me, and, in
going my rounds, l have tried to
find a solution of the problem, but
| have not as yet succeeded. In the
case of the Irishman | can under
stand that the name most in use
among his people and in his country
may naturally be employed to desig-
nate him; but certainly that rule can
not apply in the case of the China
man-for rarely is one of them nam
ed "John;'' nor yet in the case OF
the little boy on the street, for the
vast majority of them have names
other than Johnnie" | am curious
to know how these names came to be
applied. In fact |. find that there
can be no fixed rule in regard to the
matter.

HOW FORGERY Is DISCOVERED.

Il am not an expert in chirogra-
ply, but | have at least made enough
of a study of handwriting to tell why
it is often easy to detect the forgery
of name, though even the man
whose name has been forged may
declare the handwriting a perfect
replica of his own," Mr.. Arnold
Keating says.
"Of course, you know-everybody
knows, for that matter-that a man
or woman never writes his name
twice exactly in the same way. There
is always a slight difference, and
where two signatures of the same
name appear identically alike it is
safe to assume that one or both is
forgery. But suppose the sigma
ture has been forged but once, sup
pose the handwriting of which it is
an exact copy has been destroyed or
is not obtainable, of what avail is the
comparative method then? The ex-
act comparison cannot be employed,
but, other almost infallible compari-
sons are still available.
"When a child is taught how to
write at first its penmanship is Sc
verely stiff and cramped; then it be-
comes very much like that in the copy
book, but after this is discarded the
child's character begins to creep into
its handwriting. There are little
idiosyncrasies apparent that are not
to be found in the chirography of
other children, and this manifesto
ton of character in writing continues
to change it with development until
about the age of rs, when persons
character is fixed; and the hand
writing from that time on continues
about the same. The forger's copy
of the signature or writing will ap-
pear to be exactly like that of the
man, but when examined under
powerful microscope the tiny evil
dences of character that appear in
every loop and line will be found to
be largely missing, for the same char
acter is not behind the pen. 1t is
in the minute details that the forgery
is discovered.
"Then again, mans mental con-
dition will impress itself upon this
writing. If he is nervous, bubbling
over with joy or depressed, the fact
will be apparent to the expert in
writing. If the alleged handwriting
does not show traces of the mental
condition the man was really in at
the time he was supposed to have
written or signed certain letter, the
signature or the writing is a forgery.
These are some of the ways by which
an expert detects even the most sue
cessful forgery."-St Los6s Globe
Democrat.

ROMANCE OF AN OLD HOUSE.

A little frame house that stands
amid great beech trees in the rear
of an imposing structure of recent
date near Crescent Hill and a record
in the Jefferson County Court are
all that is left to tell of romance
involving famous names that was
consummated sixty-nine years ago.
1t is little known by Louisville peo-
pie that in this house, which is now
used as servant quarters, Jefferson
Davis, afterward President of the
Confederacy, on June ~, 1885, mar
ried Miss Knox Taylor, daughter of
Gen. Zachary Taylor, afterward con-
queror of Mexico and President of
the United States.
In the Jefferson County Courts
archives there is a record of mar
riages for 1885 which contains the
following:
Jefferson Davis and Miss Knox
Taylor, of legal age, daughter of
Zachary Taylor" !"
1t was a romance with a sad Sc
quel. Davis took his bride to his
plantation in Mississippi. The clim-
ate was not favorable, and the young
woman, accustomed to the purer air
of Kentucky, could not stand the mi
asmatic exhalations of the swamps.
Soon after her arrival in Mississippi
she grew i'll, stricken with malarial
fever. Within three months of the
time she became a bride she was
dead.
The pathetic sequel makes Gen.
Taylor's objection to the wedding
seem to have been due to the pro-
phetic feelings of a devoted father.
He strongly disapproved of the
match between his daughter and JEFF
ferson Davis, who was then sol
dier, with nothing to indicate the
great, though mournful career that
was before him.
This opposition was not due to
dislike or mistrust of Davis, it seems,
but to Gen. Taylor's fear that as
the wife of a gallant soldier, on what
was then the frontier, his daughter
would be subjected to many hard
ships.
But Miss Taylor was willing to
face any future for the man of her
heart Mrs. Gibson Taylor, her aunt,
espoused the cause of the young low
ers, and when Miss Taylor came to
visit her she added her pleadings to
those of her niece. After long
course of persuasion, Gen. Taylor,
though not relinquishing his objec-
tions, was prevailed on to permit the
marriage, which took place in the
home of Mrs. Gibson Taylor. 1t is
not known whether Gen. Taylor at
tended the wedding, though Mr..
Hancock Taylor is of the opinion
that he was not present.
1t was from this house that the
young soldier and his bride, after the
usual merrymaking, congratulations
and -h1essinns- cat -oi1t-nn a inurnay
with happiness that was so soon to be
changed to grief.
Such is the story of long ago that
centers around this little house, which
now stands to the rear of the resi-
dence occupied by Mr.. A. Levy on
the Brownsboro road.
At the time Jefferson Davis and
Miss Taylor we're married within its
walls it was a two-story structure,
with broad verandas built after the
then prevailing style for Southern
homes. Now it has been reduced to
one story and has been transformed
into cottage.-LomisSiHe E0eniug
Poet

Whatever the beverage may be,
don't neglect to take something, just
to take off the chill and start the
blood to circulating. Even coffee is
better than nothing at all.
1t is generally supposed that wet
feet give one a cold. On the con-
trary, they are not injurious. You
can walk half day with wet shoes
and catch no cold. But, of course,
you must remove them as soon as
you stop exercising.
Zone day last winter a Washing
ton woman came down with a severe
cold in her head. She was so hoarse
she could not speak. Consulting a
beauty doctor she learned how to
cure her cold.
I am to stand in line with Mrs.
Roosevelt tomorrow evening", said
she; what in the world can / do to
get back to my good looks?'
The beauty doctor advised her to
wiring a pair of stockings out of ice,
water. Now said he, put on two
pairs of heavy woolen stockings over
them and go to bed
"She stayed in bed all that day,
sleeping and slipping hot tea. And
the next morning she woke perfectly
we'll.
Society women these days are TAX
ing the rest cure for colds. They
give up everything and 60 to bed.
1t is the best thing in the world.
"They lie in bed for a week with
a book, sleeping and reading and
writing, doing anything except work
ing. 1t is rest of mind as well as rest
Of body that they need.
Exercise will ward off colds. Eat
your meals regularly and take enough
out of door exercise and you will be
pretty sure not to take cold. If you
are chilly, take a dose of something
to set the blood circulating and then
get out in the open air and walk. 1t
is the best thing in the world for
you.
"There are exercises that start the
circulation and they are arm and leg
exercises. There is one woman who
goes into the gymnasium every day
even in the coldest day in winter, and
puts on a short sleeved gymnasium
suit. She then takes arm and leg
exercises.
"And the result is apparent. She
is pretty, her complexion is clear and
she never takes cold.-N. Y. Sun.

Not the humble and proud. for in life's little

No, the two kinds of people on earth mean
