While she was still very young Mrs.

points with thrilling pride to its past
and believes with inspiring ardOr in its
future.
Mrs. Atherton is gracious in manner,
brilliant in conversation, possessed Of
the liveliest humor, immensely inter

original judgments upon all sorts of

Sense of Smell.

The Olfactory nerves are wonderfully
sensitive. Much has yet to be investi-
gated with regard to the differentia-
ton of the points in these nerves so
that they may discriminate with such
apparently miraculous accuracy, yet
even the results in the scent Of dogs
show how wonderfully fine is their
discriminating power. Our sense OF
smell, unless in the trained chemist, is
not even so acute as that of the semi
savage. Much have we gained by civil
lization, but not without some loss to
our bodily. energies anu senses. Mans
recuperative power after an injury is
said frequently to be in inverse ratio
to his social advancement. Similarly
he seems to become less acute and del
icate in the sense of smell as he fares
better and lives more comfortably.-St.
