Perfumes have been used from the
earliest times. The burning of per-
fumed incense was one of the rites OF
the Hebrew and pagan religions, and
perfumes of various sorts were used
by nearly all the nations of antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were
skilled in making perfumery. 1t was
from the Arabs, who possessed the art
Of preparing perfumed waters, that the
use Of perfumes was introduced into
medieval Europe.

bHALLIs.


For the average man success fire.
quently depends more upon his man
ner and appearance than upon his
knowledge of his trade or business,
or, as one might say, of his profession.
A Chicago newspaper has lately been
noting some failures and their causes.
II cites the case of one man who
was a successful salesman in a bust
ness house in Chicago, but was un-
able to get any custom when sent on
the road. The general manager of the
business went to lunch with him one
day, to talk over the matter. The man
crumbled crackers into his soup until
1t was thick, and then ate the mixture
from the end of his spoon in great
mouthfuls. When the meat was served.
he shoveled it in with his knife. and
had finished eating and was noislly
picking his teeth almost before the
manager had begun his meal In re-
ply to a question, he told the man
ager that he always took his GUS
toners out to lunch, and used every
method to win their confidence and
friendship" The manager then said:
'You couldn't sell me stick of gum.
No man whose personal habits are so
obtrusively vulgar as yours could have
the slightest influence with me. Had
lunched with you before sending you
on the road, l would never have dis
graced our house by giving it such
representative" These words hurt,
says Youths Companion, but the man
prohted by them, and to-day is one
of the most gentlemanly as well as
one of the most successful statesmen
on the road. Another case cited IS
that of a minister whose unrefinsd
manners annoyed his women relatives.
They tried to help him, but he re-
scented their suggestions, and men less
able Intellectually, but with more of
the graces of refinement in their man
ners, were called to the opportunities
for service in the pulpits of the large
and influential churches. They used
to teach manners In the old days. Now
there is little formal instruction. If
q youth does not learn good manners
at home, he has to pick them up when
he gets out into the world, or else be
handicapped. Great geniuses have
commanded respect in spite of boor-
ishness, but it is never safe for a
young man to assume that he is a
genius

NEW SAN FRANCISCO
PLANS FOR MAKING CITY MOST
BEAUTIFUL IN AMERICA.
In Rebuilding a Scheme of Fine Pub
lie Buildings and System of Parks
and Boulevards Is to Be
Followed.

A new and more beautiful San
Francisco to rise out of the ashes
OF the old. Long before the earth
quake and fire came to devastate the
queen city of the Pacific coast there
had been talk of remodeling the
California metropolis, but the one
great obstacle to the carrying out of
the elaborate plans which were to
make the place the most beautiful
city in America was the great num-
Der of fine buildings that were in the
way and which would have to be lev

And while the projectors of the city.
more-beautiful were urging and others
were hesitating, mother earth
aroused herself and shook the city
up to such an extent that there is
nothing now in the way of carrying
out the most elaborate scheme which
may be prepared but money and the
adoption of a definite plan. OF he
former there is abundant evidence
that the millions which will be avail
able when needed, and it is certain
that before many weeks plans for
the rebuilding of the city will be
ready.

clared by its promoters, will make Of

Women have already concerned
themselves through clubs in en-
deavors to improve the condition of
child-laborers, and the bitter cry of
the children, dwarfed and stunted by
long hours of hard toll, touches
chord in their hearts, that instantly
responds.
Women serving on school boards
bring into the school room the moth
erly and sisterly element; in some
neighborhoods they have done away
with desks that were too high or too
low, for the comfort of pupils, they
have embellished school rooms with
treasures of art, and, have done very
much for the betterment of light and
ventilation, fighting also with some
success the over-crowding, that is the
bane Of the public school in some sec
lions of the larger cities.
They have likewise introduced vital
reforms in the management of pris-
ons, and have separated or induced
the separation of child culprits from
older and hardened criminals. In
some jails and houses of detention,
through the efforts of women, schools
have been organized where boys and
girls unfortunately arrested and held
for trial, may be daily taught.
Accepting this presentation of the
situation as in the main true to fact,
we can but modify the opening state
ment of this bit of talk that women
have less public spirit with us than
they have in other lands. The diff
ference is that ours assumes what
may be deemed the practical side in
stead of the theoretical.
Our public spirited women see
something wrong and try to set it
right; they are accustomed to WELD
a broom and a duster indoors, and on
occasion they have no contempt for
a scrubbing brush. They pounce upon
dirt where they see it, and loathe
crime and graft of every Sort and are
ready to sweep and scour it out of
their domains. One of these days
they may add to this a livelier inter-
est in partisan politics. If ever the
day dawns when women are permitted
to use their influence in amending
some home question, such as railroad
rates and the tariff and the collection
of customs, we are sanguine enough
to think that they will help their hus-
bands and brothers to ways and
modes in which there shall be less
friction and more courtesy and COM
mon sense.
Not being an advocate of universal
suffrage, 1 do not profess to point out
the manner in which this possible inn
provement is to be brought about, but
then logic is not the strongest feature
of my sex.
In one direction women are leaven-
ing public sentiment to some purpose,
and that is in protest against food
adulteration. There is peril of lurk-
ing poison in depraved bread, degen-
crate spices, spurious canned goods,
and the like, coming as they do on
the family table and slowly or swiftly
sapping the fountains of health and
life. In no way can woman evince a
true public spirit better than by re-
fusing to buy or use tainted foods and
in uniting her sisters everywhere In
a crusade against them.
