THE 0D0R OF sANcITY.
A French Writer'S Theory Of How It

rrench writer's Theory OF How 1t
May Be Exuded by Man. e
DR.. Georges Dumas is the author of
an article in the Revue de Paris on
1.-THE Odor of Sanctity." The writer
accepts as true the numerous reported
instances of saints and mystics Of the
Catholic church whose bodies after
death or during moments of ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors of
various kinds. Then men and women
with whom such legends deal, argues
DR.. Dumas. were neurasthenes, and it
Is not impossible that the aroma of
sanctity which surrounded them was
the product Of strictly physiological
and chemical changes common to all
men. but present in highly intensified
form in subjects who, so to speak.
burned up the candle of their existence
at an unusually rapid rate. He says in
part:
$50 far, then, we have come across a
great variety of perfumes-cinnamon,
Glove. orange. pineapple. rose. violet,
lily Of the valley, yellow amber and
benzoin. Now. the natural constitu-
ton Of all of these is we'll known. and
chemistry produces them daily for CON-
mercial purposes. We may therefore
substitute the equivalent chemical ex-
pressions for the ordinary terms we
have employed and say that orange,
cinnamon, violet and musk owe their
perfume to aldehydes and acetones.
aromatic liquids derived from the alco-
hols, just as the artificial essence of
pineapple comes from butyric ether.
We have, then, to ask whether the hu-
man body can produce odorous COM
pounds of the kind we have mentioned
and under what conditions. AS mat
ter of fact, it does produce a certain
number of such compounds in the de-
struction of organic matter, which is
the constant condition Of life, in par
ticular acetones and the volatile fatty
acids, butyric. formic, acetic, etc. If
the process Of combustion is normal all
these constituents are burned up, CON-
pletely oxidized, and give as residue
water, carbonic acid and urea. But let
some slackening occur in the Utmost
nutrition Of the tissues and the same
constituents will escape through the
breath, perspiration and the skin"

The Penalty of Prominence.

Dorothy's father is a militia colonel,
and on recent occasion she saw him,
in brave array, at the head of his regi-

"How do you like your father in his

daughter that night
"You looked handsomer than any
body else," said Dorothy Loyalty, land

Tbs means that the rural mail carriers
will have to be content with their

province Of New York, died on July /.
1871. In the New York Gazette of May

Shakespeare's Last Illness.

According to tradition handed
down by Ward. the vicar of Stratford,
Shakespeare's last illness was a fever
brought on by merry meeting" with
Drayton and Ben Jonson. Another au-
thority, Halliwell-Phillips, says that
the great poet died of typhoid, caused
by, the filth and bad drainage about
New Place. Like nearly everything
else about Shakespeare the question
of the character of his last illness can
be answered only conjecthrally.' So.

The chaplain of the house of repre-
sentatives occasionally gets off a
prayer imbued with considerable
satire. Recently he started his invo-
cation as follows: "Good Lord, de-
liver us, we beseech thee, from the
demagogue, the lingo, the bigot and
other undesirable citizens.'' And
casting his eyes about him, he sighed
heavily, fully aware that he had
samples of each among his listeners.

Recent demonstrations of anarchists

Recent demonstrations of anarchists
in Chicago seem to show that
insufficient care is exercised by
government inspectors in admitting
immigrants. Not all anarchists are
foreigners, but the majority of them
are, and the native born reds are con-
verts of these revolutionaries,
Again, anarchistic meetings and dem
onstrations should be put down with
an iron hand-the leaders should be
jailed and kept there. Gatherings of
this nature are not permitted in Eu-
rope and why should they here, in a
country. which is supposed to have
attained the acme of civilization?

ELECTION NIGHTS.
Ono Of tho Five SaturnaIia of New
= ,..x - York City,

= 3 York City.
New York has five saturnalia every
year-New Years night, Decoration
day, Fourth of July, election night and
Thanksgiving-and not the least of
these is election night. If it is a right
first Tuesday of November, the day
time wind will be veering from west
to south and back, sun and cloud will
equally share the hours between them
and a not unnatural quiet, as Of polit-
1cal passions hushed under the blanket
of the Australian ballot, will prevail.
The streets will be rather emptied than
filled, and the litter Of straw and scrap
paper and the ordure and other filth of
the great slattern town will blow
agreeably about under your feet and
into your eyes and teeth. But with the
falling Of the night there will be rise
Of the urban spirits; the sidewalks will
thicken with citizens of all ages and
sexes and nations, and if you will then
seek some large center for the cinemat-
Ographic dissemination of the election
news you will find yourself one of a
multitude gloating on the scenes of
comedy and tragedy thrown up on the
canvas to stay your Impotence for the
returns. Along the curbstones are sta
toned wagons for the sale of the wind
and string instruments whose raw.
harsh discords of whistling and
twanging will begin with the sight of
the vote from the first precinct. Mean
time policemen, nervously fondling
their clubs in their hands, hang upon
the fringes Of the crowd. which is yet
so good natured that it seems to have
no impulse but to lift children on it's
shoulders and put pretty girls before
1t and to caress old women and Grip
pies into favorable positions, so that
they may see better. You will wish to
leave it before the clubbing begins and
either go home to the slumbers which
the whistling and twanging will duly
attend or join the diners going into or
coming out Of the restaurants or the
throngs strolling down into the fairy
realms of Broadway under the flare Of
the whiskies and the actresses.-W. D.
Howells in Harpers Magazine.

The old story that w. j. Bryan re-
ceived large sums of money from the
silver-mine owners Of the west when
he ran for president has been revived.
This is unfair to Mr.. Bryan as it
creates the impression that he
received the money personally and
pocketed it. But there is no question
that the mine owners contributed in
large amount to the democratic cam

ANY ONE CAN HYPNOTIC.
But It Cannot Be Accomplished With
Mere Glance.


OF course, whoever wants to hypno-
tize-in fact, no one but a physician
ought to do it-must learn the tech
nique and apply it patiently and skill
fully. And certainly there are individ-
ual differences. Not every one can be
deeply hypnotized. With not a few
the inhibition goes no further than
the inability to open the eyes, while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic Authorizations. Further, not
every one is well prepared to awaken
that confidence which is essential and
that feeling of repose which guides one
over to the dreamy state. The look,
the voice, the gestures, the phrases, the
behavior, of certain persons make them
poor hypnotizers, however we'll they
may understand the tricks But in
principle everybody can hypnotic and
can be hypnotized, just as in principle
everybody can love and can be loved,
and no special mysterious power is
needed to fall in love or to awaken
love.
Yet, while thus every one can exert
hypnotic influence, no one can do it by
mere glance. All the stories of a Sc
cret influence by which one mans
will gets hold of another mans mind
are remains of the mermeric theories
of the past. Today we know that ev-
erything depends upon the attention
and imagination Of the hypnotized and
that no mysterious fluid can flow over
from the mind Of the hypnotist to the
mind Of the subject. The old mystical
view of unscientific superstition reach
ed its climax in the prevalent belief
that man could exert secret influence
from distance without the victims
knowledge Of the source of the uncan-
ny distortion Of his mind According
to this belief, every heinous crime
might be committed under that cover.
The distant hypnotizer could inflict
pain and suffering on his enemy and
could misuse the innocent as instru-
ments of bis criminal schemes.-Pro-
fessor Hugo Munsterberg in McClure's
Magazine.

Stupendous Farce.
The country papers are now busy
printing the list of personal property
taxes. These lists rival any
humorous column ever printed. They
are roaring farce. There ought to
be printed above them, "Greatest
show on earth! A laughing SUGGEST"
or something of the kind. The per-
sonal property tax has become joke
and the sooner it is abolished the bet
ter. If one were to believe these lists,
Dives and Lazarus in each community
have suddenly changed places, and
the man known to have thousands is
a pauper, while the poor fellow with a
little household furniture sees his
name lead all the rest. The merchant
with a visible stock of goods pays his
share, so does the farmer and manu-
facturer. But the person who is for
tunate enough to have his property in
form in which it may be concealed,
is able to avoid observation-disclosures
