we are certainly inferior to them In
acuteness. at all events we of the civil
ICED races. although there seems to be
no reason why this sense should not be
cultivated and its efficiency REINFORCED
by deliberate training.
This view is supported by the fact
that men born deaf and dumb and
blind have been known to develop their
latent powers of smell to pitch OF
perfection quite uninteligible to ordi-
nary mortals. We use spectacles to
assist the cyesight. ear-trumpets and
artificial ear-drums to correct deaf
ness; why should not science supply
us with some handy instrument that
would stimulate the potency of etllu-
via? There are many ways in which
such in addition to our physical and
mentaD equipment might be useful,
for the nose has one cardinal advan-
tage over the eyes in that it is quite
independent of light.
There is another reason for which it
might be worth our while to pay more
attention to this particular scnse-for
its mnemonic suggeStiveness. The
FACULTY of memory plays rather
queer part in connection with that Of
smelling, although around it our men
tai associations cluster most strongly
For 1t is very doubtful whether any
body can actually call up, or repre-
sent particular odor. though there
are cases of subjective Authorizations
OF scent among the insane. and the rec
ords OF the Society of Psychical Re-
search quote instances of what we
might call the ghost" of smell.

About the Man.

He loves his wife better the more he
waits upon her.
He appreciates his wife more If she
sometimes fails to meet him at the
door.
He is most gracious to his wife's
friends when she makes his friends
hers.
He drives lacks into the carpet twice
us willingly if she stands by and hands
him the tncks.
He does the mans work about the
house more willingly If he thinks he is
merely helping his wife to do her
work.
He Is most docile when most fatter-
ed and most flattered by being credited
with virtues which he does not pos
sesa.
He likes best to do something Kind
for his wife Immediately after she has
praised him for being an unusually
good husband.
He is always little better than he
might be as long as he thinks that his
wife believes that he is q great deal
better than he is.

Is Sense Dying Out Among Civilized
Men:-Sonc Of Its Uses.
Is the sense of smell dying out
among civilized men? Psychologists
tell us that although an entire seq
ment Of the brain--yiz, the Olfactory
lobe---is apportioned to the olfactory
fibers. what we now possess Is proba-
bly, 1.-The mere remnant of once pow
erful mechanism" In the brute crea-
ton, says the London Spectator, the
sense is much keencr, although among
the lower aquatic animals 1t is indis-
criminately blended with that of taste
and in the tOothed whales is nonexist
ent.
On the other hand dogs, especially
those that have been trained to hunt
by scent, seem to depend upon that
faculty almost entirely, even to the
exclusion Of their eyesight. Generally
speaking, sweet odors are more per-
sistent than their opposite. the sui
phuretted compounds in particular
evaporating rapidly on exposure to the
atmosphere, although the smell of de-
caying animal matter Is said to en-
dure for days after the cause of 1t has
been removed. The olfactory sense,
however, usually becomes blunted in
time when assailed continuously by
any one odor; workmen In the big per-
fumeries become case-hardened to the
fragrance Of their surroundings and

ening In its effects than most forms of
physical suffering.
Again. different smells do not mix {;
It is said that If the two nostrils are
stuffed with different substances, we
smell first one and then the other. al
ternately, but never blending of the
two together.
Among human individuals the sense
of smell. like those of sight and hear
Ing, varies considerably, and certain
persons seem to be quite unaffected by
certain odors; Just as others are color
blind" to certain colors, or "tone-deaf'
to the shrill call of bat or the chirp-
ing of a cricket 1t is true that we may
claim a superiority to the brute crea-
ton In the range Of our susceptibility
to various odors, for the carnivores
seem to be quite insensible to the
scent Of plants and flowers. while the
herbivores pay little attention to ami
NAL odors, except for the purpose of
detecting the approach Of enemies. But

I'm practically al the civilized eoun-

stabulary which makes it it's business TO
keep track of all wandering people with
a view of protecting persons travelling

The Irish constabulary is the best In
the world with the possible exception OF
the Canadian police. These officers have
well defined powers and it is impossible
for any stranger TO pass from one place
to another without being known to the
police, and il they appear I'm any way sus-

ON TO THE DELAWARE.

II HE Morning News which has so
Il long been champion of
wharves ON the Delaware River, in an
editorial yesterday summed up the ad-
vantages that would be derived from
consummation Of the project IN "a
clearer and more forceful manner than
the case is usually stated.
We are Of the opinion that this pro-
ject viii be consummated sooner than
many people think, for this city will
not forever continue blind to the obvi-
GUS advantages. IT may be that the
press by keeping constantly at IT, by
damned Iteration" as Dana used to
say. may arouse our people to the inn
portance of taking advantage Of their
opportunities.
There has been some quiet but de-
termined opposition ON the part Of
persons holding property along the
Chrlstiana. because they believe that
wharves on the Delaware would make
the Christiana water fronts less valu-
able. II strikes us that such objections
are il-founded. This city is not going
to stop growing. and we shall never
abandon the Christiana. In fact. we
believe with larger commerce touch

Port Penn or Chester.
We have heard that there is obiec-
tion on the ground that II would start
the tide OF business in the direction OF
the River, and thus operate against
the natural increase in land values in
the western section of the city This
strikes us as utter nonsense. The land
in the section adjacent TO the River is
adapted only for manufacturing plants
and wharves. and the more industries
we have the greater demand there viii
be for land and houses. for sites foi
shops and banks In the sections now
built up or intended to be built up.
The plain truth is that many of oui
residents have not gotten away from
the big town idea; they fail to realize
that we are approaching the 100000
size. and that our natural advantages
are such that we might double oui
wealth and population in the next tw,
decades.
