TIDAL FLUX AND REFLUX.
Complicated MOvements of the Bill
lows of the Oceans.

Those who see the rise and fall OF
dom think of the wonderful course
of the ocean waves which cause the
tidal fuX and reflux. Such pillows not
only cross the sea, but flow from ocean
TO ocean. and in this way complicated
movements are set going.
Thus, for instance. once in every
twelve hours the moon raises a tide
billow IN the southern Indian ocean.
When this biliow passes the Cape OF
Good Hope at noon its successor Is al
ready born. and by the time the first
billow has reached the Azores islands
Mt midnight the second rs rounding the
cape, and third has come into ex.
lstence In the southern ocean. BY
o'clock in the morning following Its
passage of the cape the tide billow
reaches the English channel, and there
the shallow waters delay 1t so much
that it does not arrive at the strait of
Dover until 10 a. N. Here the mar
rowing channel causes the tide 10 rise
very hirh and almost puts an end to
the wave.
In the meantime another branch OF
,he billow runs around the western
side Of The British islands. rounds
the no,'.h point of Scotland and moves

POWER OF PERFUMES.

The Way Various Scents Act on the
Nerves and Brain.
Nearly all perfumes have antiseptic
qualities and are yamable in keeping
away infection.
The perfumes WI,L are the most
agreeable to the seISe are not always
the most helpful to the nerves Am
bergris, for instance, is positively Of
fensive to many. yet it is said to pos
cess a wonderful power of clearing the
brain and driving away the blues. On
the other hand altar of roses, with the
suggestion of glowing suns and gor-
geous eastern colors, predisposes to
tears.
\ faint Odor of musk acts as a tonic,
for which the best antidote Is the odor
of sandalwood. The fragrance of cit,
ron is as soothing to nervous folk as
the sound Of faroff music
The scent of orange flowers is so de-
pressing to the action Of the heart that
1t is not safe for any one with disease
of that organ to inhale it for any
length Of time. Rcriving perfumes
come from herbaceo1f plants largely,
FROM the odors OF m;snonette, rose
mary and lavender, and soothe the
nerves.
The perfumes of lilies, jasmine and
acacia are pleasant and soothing to a
healthy sense, though delicate nerves
cannot enjoy them even in their garden
freshness. Brought closer In clusters
Of blossom, their odor Is narcotic and
depressing, so that persons grow faint
at the smell of them and may be put
into heavy slumber, as If drugged by
their odor.-LOndon Express.

THE NEWSPAPER FOR ALL

The McKeesport News makes some
remark which everybody ought to be
acquainted with, but which some have
yet to learn: 1.-THE newspaper is for
everybody and hence must publish
something for everybody. If you see
something which is of little interest
to you. remember that there are others
and that the entire paper is not print
ed especially for you. The very thing
that IS dull and uninteresting to you
may be the one thing in the paper for
some other readers. There are whole
pages in the daily papers that are of
no interest to some, but they are to
others. - 1t is very true that news
paper which tried to please every read
or in every item it contained would
soon have very few readers.
