4 Standard of Smell.

1t is surprising that in an age o,
scientific research and of imDortant
discoveries arising from minute meas
urements, two of mans five senses
should be neglected and should re.
main unprovided with descriptive
terms that will express what has been
found out or permit comparisons to
De made. For sight, for hearing, and
FOR touch there are plenty of stand
ards and vocabularies accurate enough
TO enable us to convey to others the
precise impression we receive; for
taste and for smell we must fall back
on vague generalities and fancifuI
slnlIes. based usually on the pleasure
OF dislike awakened in us, and not
on the nature of the smell or taste
bo1h senses. nevertheless, play an
important part in science and i'm bust
ness, as we'll as i'm our daily life
Keen sense of smell is of great value
to the chemist; it is Indispensable 10
the perrumer; it is needed in other
sciences and trades. In all there must
be scales of smell for practical every
DAY use, and it is remarkable that
neither the laboratory nor the ware
mouse has evolved a standard that can
De employed geenrally. A pharmaceu-
tlcal correspondent of the Lancet hay-
ing complained of the lack of such
standard that dignified journal dis
cusses the subject amply. showing
now necessary a standard is. but maxi
ing no suggestion that will helm in es-
tablishinc one.
In order TO give an idea of a new
smell. we must refer to a well-known
one. 1t observes, and our assortment
OF substances for comparisons is odd
roses, cinnamon, rotten eggs. pigs.
pine, camphor, and so on With strange
doors 1t is otherwise. We can only
say that scents are more or less at
tractlve and that stinks are repulsive
and stop with that broad differentia-
tlon; even within it we must allow
Tor difference of taste.
One thing is clear regarding smells
good and bad, namely, that it rs high
time that chemists and others gath
cred together and devised-frst
rouSh classification of smells on a
scientific basis, and second. a vocabu-
larry or adjectives, not profane. that
may be employed in describing them
IN ordinary speech. What the chem
ISIS turned philolOgists have done with
the carbon compounds is not encour-
aging, but they are closest to the
smells that need description. After
they have named the smells they will
sun have the tastes to classify.

According to Francis c. Henry. a
prominent educator of Chicago. now
at the Stafford, there is a species OF
absent landlordism in Illinois which
is working a great injustice to the
country people. Mr.. Henry said: "The
tenent system of farming, the buying
up by wealthy men of great tracts of
land and leasing them in small lots
to the former owners is raising havoc
with the country schools of Illinois.
These landlords, who live in the cities
and large towns, evade the payment
of just taxes, and. consequently, rural
school districts have not enough mon
ey to hire competent teachers. There
are at least 500 schoolrooms in the
State that might just as we'll be closed
on account of the incompetency of
the teachers. / know of one case
where a girl is teaching i'm a country
school for $40 per month. The farmers
are the slaves of the landlords. A
man who owns thousands of acres of
land will insist on paying $25 for a
teacher when the farmers know that
no able instructor can be secured for
such pittance. The country schools
will never reach a high plane until
the farmers own their farms and hire
their own teachers.-Baltimore Amer

This WOMAN never
MET HER HUSBAND
Just as Well. However, for She Is
Legally Divorced from Him.

Can woman be married twelve
years without knowing she has a hus-
band?
This is the question that Mrs. Sarah
t. Nelson 'Utassy. of 81 West Thirty
ninth street asked herself when she
was informed that Justice Blanchard
in the Supreme Court had annuIIed her
marriage TO Charles e. Jackson.
The annulment was granted to the
man on the ground that the woman
whom he married at the Little Church
Around the Corner" in this city, in
August, 1897, had refused to live with
him or take his name. Ever since the
wedding he testified, she had main
tanned a separate residence. He de-
ciared that his bride was Sarah T.
Nelson d'Utassy, and that they had he
come acquainted, in Baltimore.
IhiS is the strangest thing 1 ever
heard of" Mrs. d'Utassy said when
asked regarding the annulment. Il

case, although the name and initials
are the same. 1t is an amazing coin
