ODORS AND MOISTURE.

Sense of Smell.
The most striking fact connected

detect the faintest odor OF smoke In

school | attended was Of the military
variety. and smoking "~as a rather Sc
rious offense. No matter how much a
room had been aired or famed with
wet towels previous TO the inspection.
the offender was always caught.

so bold as 10 inquire from what Pc

cule of smoke In a hundred cubic feet
Of pure air. The old boy smiled and.
binding me 10 secrecy. impaired the
reason Of his wonderful ability. Then
he took me TO boys vacated room
and told me TO wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with II and sniff. Lo and
behold where before there seemed
no taint I'm the atmosphere was now
detected that smell Of old tobacco

COUNTING HEADS.

There Is n record OF census In
China as far back as the year 2042
B. G. and OF one In Japan In the last
century before Christ Under the con.
stitution OF Solon the citizens Of Ath-
ems were divided and registered in four
classes. according To the amount OF
their taxable property or income. The
Roman census was burdened with
more statistics than any OF these. how.
ever. 1t had its origin under Servius
Tulius. sixth king of Rome, and was
an affair of much solemnity. Every
citizen had To appear upon the Campus
Martius and declare upon oath his
name and dwelling and the value OF
his property under the penalty Of hav'
ing his goods confiscated.
The most ancient statistical record
OF census is found In the Bible. The
census was taken by Moses In the
wilderness. and. as shown by the first
chapter OF Numbers. the enumeration
must have been very simple. Take

number them by their armies" This
census was an affair that must have
been soon over. lasting no longer than
one day. being merely a counting OF
the heads of the lighting men. The
