A PERFUME THAT SMELLS,

The Awful OdOr That Comes From

The perfumer took from his desk a
small flask of copper.

The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar of roses be-
fore. 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 grimace of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
"Garbage! Bone yards! Glue fac

The Rerfumer laughed. -.- -...
Cali essential oils smell like that" he
said. "Yet no good perfume can be
made without them"
He took from shelf a cut glass jar
filed with a thick, yellowish oil that
looked like petroleum partly refined.
I'm this JAR" he said, "there are forty
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 few drops of the altar into
a vial. He filed the vial with spirits
Of musk, another of orris then ono of
neroli, one of rose, of violet, of orange,
OF vanilla. and, finally, the oil of cloves
and bergamot.

"Exquisite!" said the visitor.

malodorous and costly altar of roses it
wouldn't smell any better than a plate

IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY.
The Peculiar Language and Odd Gus
toms of the People

& =
OF the strange scenes and customs of
the Basque country a traveller writes:
Il was struck by the way the women
walked and carried themselves. A fat
old woman with huge tray on her
head walked along at swinging pace,
shouting her wares meanwhile at the
top of her voice. l saw woman car
rying on her head first of all large
tray of fruit Gts size can be imagined
when tell you that it was afterward
her stalD. On the top of this were
basket Of washing and big umbrella
to be used to cover the stall. Then in
her left hand she carried a supple
mentary stall, and by the other she
led a little child which could just reach
the mothers hand by holding it's own
up as high as it could stretch.
II was waiting once at little way
side inn in the village of Ascain when
I saw an old lady, followed by two
great fat white pigs. They all three
waddled over to the village pump. and
then, procuring some water in a pail,
the old lady proceeded to wash her
charges. She cleaned them most as
siduously-eyes ears, tail, back. hind
quarters and feet.
'There is dignity Of carriage about
all the women in this country, fan
cied it might be due to the fact that
formerly, before the Code Napoleon
came into operation, the law obliged
the frstborn, whether boy or girl, to
inherit the patrimony and continue the
head Of the family, the husband taking
the wife's name when the inheritor was
a woman, thus giving the woman a
perfect equality from her birth. The
matrons are not less beautiful than the
younger women.
"Quite unlike any other language is
that Of the BasQues. Although when
hearing the people talk Spanish sound
seems to be occasionally emitted, it is
not really at all like Spanish. I was
amused to find that mo- is sess' in
Basque, and when I asked what YES
was I thought at first the answer was

FEATHERED GLUTTONS,
Some Very Greedy Birds That Are
Tremendous Feeders.
ITO BE Continued

Some Very Greedy Birds That Are
Tremendous Feeders.
Despite the fact that ''the appetite
Of bird" has become common phrase
for light eating, investigations show
that birds are tremendous feeders. The
diet Of the average kestrel "a small Eu-
ropean hawk) is calculated at 1000
mice a month, to say nothing of insects
and worms. The barn owl is as vora-
cious as the kestrel. An investigator,
after caging one Of these birds, gave it
seven mice one after the other The
first six Immediately disappeared, each
with gobble and gulp, and the owl
did it's very best to treat the seventh
in like manner. Limitations Of alb
dominal capacity, however, prevented,
and though the gobble came off the
gulp did not, so that for twenty min
utes or so the tail Of the seventh mouse
dangled from the corner Of the birds
beak. But in due course it swallowed
the body, and three hours later the
pangs of hunger reasserted themselves
and the owl ate four more mice.
-Four pounds would be heavy weight
for heron. Yet one of those birds,
which was trapped in England, dis
gorged two recently swallowed trout,
one Of which weighed two pounds and
the other one and half pounds. An
other captured had contrived to put
away three trout averaging three-quar-
tiers Of a pound apiece, although it was
only four months old, and another had
dined upon seven small trout. together
with mouse and a thrush.
Among the greediest birds are wood
pigeons, which will continue to gulp
down food until their crops are almost
at the bursting point. From one Of
these birds, shot as it was returning
from raid in the fields, no fewer than
800 grains of wheat were taken. An
other had contrived to cram down no
fewer than GOO peas. A third was en-
deavoring to sustain nature with $50
beech nuts and a fourth with sixty
acOrns.

pute these two old men had held in
their brief acquaintance, and upon no
one thing had they been able to agree
except in hatred Of the English and
love of their common country. Still
their disputes had been friendly, and if
they had not loved they had at least
respected each other.
II wish I had not been so hard on
the man. I really liked him." solilo-

He died the right way, though, doing

for those he loved. Well, he was a
brave man-for a soldier" he murmur-
