Thu Smell of the Dawn.

OF all hours Of the day there is none
like the early morning for downright
good odors-the morning before eat
ing Fresh from sleep and nnclogged
with food a mans senses cut like
knives. The whole world comes in
upon him. A still morning Is best for
the mists and the moisture seem 70 re-
tain the odors which they have dis
titled through the night. Upon a
breezy morning one is likely to get a
single predominant odor, as of clover
when the wind blows across bayfield,
or of apple blossoms when the wind
comes through the orchard, but upon a
perfectly still morning it is wonderful
how the odors arrange themselves In
upright strata, so that one walking
passes through them as from room to
room in marvellous temple Of fra
