Curiosities of Smell.

No substance that refuses to dis
solve in water has an odor. 1t is the
actual substance itself, floating in
particles in the air, that appeals to
the nose, and not simply vibration
of the air, as in the case Of light and
sound The damper a thing is the
more powerful the odor it gives off.
A pleasant proof of the fact can be
had by walking in a garden after rain.
There is no end to the curiosities Of
smell. 1t is, for instance, the yapor
of a liquid that smells, and not the
liquid in the mass itself. If eau de
cologne be poured into the nostril the
nose refuses to recognize any odor

quently large editions. 1t may be
said that the supply of books was
abundant and their prices very rea-
sonable; in fact, amazingly cheap, all
things considered. For instance, the
first book of Martial's Epigrams, in
handsome binding, was sold for what
would be in our money about seventy
five cents. A cheaper edition was to
be had for some thirty-five cents.

Big Hats Defended.

They keep her from getting her head

life she has had the habit of poking
her head through cab windows, car
windows, the windows of any old
thing she happened to be riding in.
Pillars, posts and passing vehicles
grazed her nose, but possible behead-

since she has taken to wearing big
mats she has to keep her head inside

Walked in the old familiar ways,
Talked and talked for each others praise
The world is young, but we older

That we would love as we loved before,
And the years should make>us love the more.

face was gray through lack Of rest
and whose eyes were heavy through
lack Of sleep. His clothes were dusty

coated with dried mire.
The man coming down the quiet
highway was tramp, a tattered,
whiskered, slouching vagabond. He
was singing in maudlin voice and
the song was a sentimental ballad of
