Why We QuarreIed :

BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water.
1 wonder II many women have fussy
husbands. am married to a man who
nags-and that is the chief cause of our
quarrels.
l have always thought that woman
who nags and fuses is bad enough. but
a man who has these habits is a hundred
times worse than the woman who has
them.
My housekeeping and management OF
my home are the things about which my
husband worries. Perhaps the difference
in our ages has something to do with
this. He was 40 when l married him and
/ was but 25 I did not realize then that
he might be what the country people
would call set in his ways" He had
lived at home with his mother who was
a model housekeeper. The year after her
death we married.
l mention these facts simply by way
of explanation OF the truth that he is
more particular than I.
When we settled in our house 1 did not
suppose that he would ever trouble him
self as to how 1t was run. My father
always left that kind of thing to my
mother. But Andrew, my husband. is
different.
We had been married only a month
when we had our first quarrel on this
score.
MY dear Andrew said reprovingly al
breakfast, one morning. "as l came
downstairs just now noticed some cob
webs in the corner of the hall, close TO
the ceiling. VIII you have them brushed
away, please?"
His tone irritated me slightly and !

Smell is perhaps the most occult sense
that man possesses. Among other ami
mails Il is often much more highly de-
veloped than with us, and its purpose Is
apparently. more utilitarian. II Is suf-
ficient 10 recall the marvels accomplished
by the dog with the sole aid Of his nose.
Among mon this sense seems to serve
principally TO give pleasure. although It
also serves the opposite purpose of ex-
citing disgust, which is often a kind OF
warming
Upon the keenness OF this aesthetic
sense depends the whole art OF perfu-
merry, which has, in all times, played a
great part in human affairs-much
greater than most persons imagine. In
the first place, perfumes are aphrodisiac,
and that Is true not only among men, but
even more among some of the lower
animals. The orient, says DIR. George
William Askinson, in his book on Per
fumes" may be regarded as the cradle
OF the art of perfumery.
The ancient Hebrews developed IL
highly in connection with their religious
observances. Athens was famous for it's
exquisite perfumes, and especially for
those carrying the scent Of the violet.
One OF the names for Athens was "the
violet-crowned city" Solon. the Athenian
lawgiver. found 1t necessary to forbid
the sale of fragrant oils to his masculine
fellow citizens. although he refraineC
from interfering with the women's fond
ness for perfumes.
Among the luxuries Romans, wher
they began to rest from the conquest
of the world and turned to the 'enjoymen
of its most delicious fruits. tho art OF
perfumery reached a wonderful stage oI
development. In Capua there was a
whole street given over to the perfumers
Roman gentlemen anointed themselves
with scented oils three times a day. II
is averred that when Nero buried his
wife, POppaea, he used as much odorous
as Arabia could produce In year.

But, scientifically reared, such a child,
no matter what its inheritance, in itself

power for good in the world.
IL would naturally require more care

Bison Courier Alfred Byers
now claims the record for wheat
for this country with yield of
sixty-four bushels per acre. Last
spring he purchased sixty
pounds of Marcus wheat and
sowed it on an acre of ground.
The piece threshed sixty-four
bushels. Mr.. Byers also sowed
an acre of the well prepared
ground to speltz and reports 4
yield of one hundred and eight
bushels from the acre. He had
ninety acres into wheat this sea-
son and the crop threshed over

per acre. Mr.. Byers has been
raising good crops on this farm
for a number of years and is look
ed upon as good farmer but his
experiments this season on spec

all reasonable expectations. He
also has a grove of trees that he
has grown since homesteading
