A scENTLEss NATION.

The department OF agriculture has
recently called attention to the back
wardness OF this country as produc-
er of the particular kind OF crops that
go to the making OF perfumes, says
the Washington Post. Swift in the
development OF other industries. we
have been extremely negiectful of our
opportunities in this particular, since,
II is claimed, we can raise in one
part of the United States or another
all of the plants needful for an innum-
cradle variety of sweet odors. from
ylangylang to altar or roses. This
information doubtless is intended to
serve as timely spur to our indus
trial and commercial lethsrgy. And
vet the news fails to carry with 1t a..y
great sense OF shame. II is dificult
to assign the reason why the posi-
bilities thus pointed out produce little
or no enthusiasm. yet such is the
case. 1t must be because the making
of perfumes is not pre-eminently an
indication OF national vigor or great
ness. Certain il is that their univer-
sal use by people is not a sign OF
virility. Weak and effeminate nations
have been given proverbially to the
use of unguents and ointments,
whereas soap and civilization have
been inseparably conjoined. So long
as we lead in soap. it matters little

First Century Find.

President Solomon Schetchter Of the
Jewish theological seminary OF Amer
lea has discovered a Hebrew manu-
script In Cairo. Egypt, where II Is said
to have been cherished with great
care for 1000 years b? the Jewish
congregation
1t is claimed that the document was
written In the first century OF the
Christian era.
II has been translated by Prof.
Schetchter and published by the uni
versity press in England. IL purports
to be an address by a religious leader
10 his followers. The references are
held by George Margoliouth, custo-
dian of Hebrew manuscripts in the
British museum. to apply TO John the
BAPTIST. and Jesus and Paul. John Is
called a Messiah who led the people
to mediate on their sins, Jesus
preacher of righteousness. and Paul a
scoffer-presumably because OF his
dissent from Judaism.
The writer and his followers appear
to have belonged to a sect. half Jew
ish and half Christian. which fed to
