men were involved, several of whom

"The words commonly used to sig
Nifty play are these four: Relaxation,
diversion. amusement. recreation. The
idea ce relaxation is taken from a bow,
which must be unbent when it is not
wanted, to keep up the string. Diver
sion signifies turning aside from the
main purpose of a journey to see
something that is curious or out OF
the common. Amusement means an oc-
casional forsaking Of the muses. as
when the student lays aside his books.
Recreation is the refreshing of the
spirits when they are exhausted by
labor so that they may be ready In
due time to resume 1t again.
'From these considerations It fol.
lows that the Idle man who has nc
work can have no play; for how can

Artificial Scents.

The great bulk of perfumes are
chemical productions. The Wall Street
Journal says the commercial problem
is whether the American perfumer of
the future is to be an artisan or an
artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance
of flowers or chemical odors and
scents? The idea of the layman is
that the cosmetic chemist seeks the
odor of flowers; but as a matter of
fact synthetic chemistry not only
crowns his work with the crushed oil
Of roses, violets and jessamine, but
seeks to rival'th fragrance of flowers
with superior scents originating wholly
within the laboratory and trade
marked as such.
