A PERFUME THAT SMELLS.

{, The perfumer took from his
desk Il small flask of copper.
SIN TASKS like this altar of roses

roses is worth from $40 to $25 an
ounce, according to the market.
This flask is empty now, but in it
a little odor still fingers"
The visitor smiled delightedly.
He had never smelt pure altar of
roses before. Now he unscrewed
the stopper and, closing his eyes,
with an ecstatic look he applied
his nostrils to the flask,
But only for an instant. Then
he threw back his head, twisting
his features into a grimace of dis
gust, and he exclaimed:
Garbage! Bone yards!' Glue

The perfumer laughed.
"All essential oils smell like
that" he said. ."Yet no good per
fume can be made without them"
He took from a shelf a cut glass
jar filed with a thick, yellowish
oil that looked like petroleum
partly refined.
"1n this jar" he said, "there are
40 ounces of pure altar Of roses
worth over $500. You know how
the altar smells alone. Now
watch me make a rich perfume by
adding things to it,"
He put a few drops of the Alta

A PREHISTORIC MONSTER.
Skeleton Of Aged Animal Is Eighty
Two Feet Long-on Exhibit
ton in England.


Nearly 30 years ago the atten-
ton of scientific men was called
to the existence of the remains of
certain colossal beasts which
were to be found here and there in
the iurassic strata which reveal
themselves along the eastern up
lifts of the Rocky mountains.
Collections from time to time
were made of fragmentary skel-
etons, and upon these fragments
the late Prof. Marsh, of Yale uni
versity, and Prof. Cope based de.
scriptions and papers which
proved to the scientific world
that at one time in the past there
had been a remarkable develop
ment of reptiles of the most pro
digious size inhabiting that por-
ton of our country. Names were
invented for these creatures and
the study of their characteristics
was carried on with energy by the
distinguished gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned. Alta
later date Prof. Henry F. Osborne
took up the work in behalf of the
American Museum of Natural His.
tory in New York.
Five years ago Mr.. Andrew Car.
negie, who was a warm friend of
Prof. Marsh and who had then be-
come deeply interested in Prof.
Marsh's archaeological research
es as the result of frequent CONVEX.
sations with him, determined that
in the great museum which he had
founded in Pittsburg it would be
well to take up and Systematically
prosecute further discoveries and
to carry to a completion some of
the Investigations which have ter
minated by the death of Profs.
Marsh and Cope, and so the skel-
eton of the famous d~iplOdOus came
to be preserved and put up.
The skeleton is 80 feet from
head to tail, and it stands II feet
from the ground. 1t has some.
thing of the appearance of a gigan.
tic lizard, and hadit cared to stand
erect it could easily have looked
into the second story windows OF
many of our modern buildings.
The skeleton was constructed
by the section of paleontology Of
the Pittsburg Carnegie museum
for permanent exhibition in thu
British museum. This is the first
time that a complete skeleton has
been shown and its exhibition last
month in the Exposition building
at Pittsburg marked an interest
ing event in the scientific world.

The catnlpn Tree south.

Between the lumber manufac-

and the annual forest fires, the
south is being rapidly denuded of
her forests, while no effort is being
made to perpetuate the pine tim
Der. The cypress is of too slow
growth to offer much hope, re-
quiring II years to grow one inch

ern hardy catalpa has been intro.
duced into the gulf states, and
there is promise of an abundant
supply of timber by the time the
pine shall have disappeared, The
owner of a cataIpa plantation in
Louisiana has planted $4,000 OF
these trees in Florida for the East

EARLY CONNECTICUT LAW.
Governed Use Of Tobaceo-Jefferson-
vile Lawyer Has Copy Of
Historic Document.

A lawye of Jeffersonyille,
Ind. has a book containing the
"Code of 1850" of the General
Court of Connecticut" which
contains a law on the use of tobac
co that is timely in view of the re-
cently-enacted law of the general
assembly of the state of Indiana
as to the use of the fragrant weed
in the form of cigarettes.
The compilation is of the date Of
1886, published at Hartford,
Conn, by Judd, Loomis & Co. II
contains the earliest laws and Or
ders of the general court of Con
necticut, also the constitution or
civil compact entered into and
adopted by the towns of Windsor,
Hartford and Wethersield in
1899" The laws generally
known as the "blue laws are in
cluded in the interesting little
volume. Throughout the old
spelling is retained by the pub
fishers.
The tobacco law is sufficiently
stringent, and yet contains some
provisions that would endear the
members of the legislature to the
hearts of many modern smokers,
should they incorporate such pro-
visions in their enactments. Fol-
lowing is the text Of this quaint
act:
"Forasmuch as it is observed,
that many abuses are crept in, and
committed, by frequent taking of
tobacko.
at is ordered by the authority
Of this Courte, That no person un-
der the age of twenty-One years,

certificate under the hands OF
some who are approved for knowl
edge and skill in phisick, that it is

hath received a lycense from the

regulating of those, who either by
THERE former taking it, have, t.
THERE own apprehensions, made il
necessary to them, or upon due ad
vice, are persuaded to the use
thereof.

WHAT ALASKA ToTEMlsM IS
Some Light on an Interesting and
Little Understood Subject Which
Puzzled Scientists.

1t is interesting to note that
totemism is found, not only in
Alaska, but among the North
American Indians, the abOrigines
of Australia, the Hottentots of
Africa and even the Hill tribes of
India, says the HOusekeeper. To
TENS are also common among the
Samoans.
Broadly, the totem is the badge
of a clan or tribe; but it signifies
a great deal more than mere pOlit
ical or social alliance. 1t is not
only a tribal emblem, but also a
family signal; not merely a sym
Dol of nationality, but also an ex-
preston of religion; not simply a
bond Of union among primitive
peoples, but also a regulator of
the marriage laws and other so
eial institutions. A totem has
been defined as "a class of mate
rial objects which a savage re-
CARDS with superstitious resepct.
believing that there exists be-
tween him and every member of
the class an intimate and special
relation"
Among the 0jibway Indians
there are no fewer than % differ
ent totems. Nine of these are
quadrupeds, marking out the
wolf, the bear, the beaver and
other clans, eight are birds, five
are fishes and one is the snake.
Some extraordinary %supersti.
lions regarding totems prevail in
Samoa. Thus, it is believed that
If a turtle-man eats of a turtle, he
will grow very i'll and the voice of
the turtle will be heard in his in
side saying: Gle ate me; | am
killing him." If a banana-man
uses a banana leaf for a cap he be-
comes bald. If a butterdy-man
catches a butterfly it strikes him
dead. If a fOwl-man eats a fowl,
delirium and death result. And
so On-all going to show that the
totem has something of the quail.
ity of a fetch as we'll as the signifi-
canoe of a family emblem,
Regarding totemism, it is to be
noted that the ;elation of mutual
help and protection includes also
the totem itself; that is to say, il
a man takes care of his totem, hi
expects the totem to return the
compliment. If the totem is a dan
gerOus animal, it must not hurt
his clansmen. The scorpiOn-mel
of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will rur
over their bodies without hurting
them. There is a snake elan il
Australia which holds to a similar
belief, Among the crocodile elan
Of the Bechuanas if a man is bit
ten by a crocodile, or even has wa
ter splashed on him by one, he il
expelled from the clan as one uD
worthy of the totem.
