DON'T NEED SCENT

Why Perfumes Are Not OverPopular in America. Writer s*** Cauw for Congratulation In the Fact That Heavy Artificial Odors Are Not Needed Here, a* in Europe. That the sense of smell is sadly neglected is an opinion expressed every once in a while by those who pride themselves on a highly cultivated olfactory faculty. Just the other day a perfumer complained about the lack of appreciation of the pleasures of smell, especially among Americans. Well, for our own part, we are glad that Americans are lacking in the cultivation of this most neglected of the senses. We are especially thankful that the men of our race and country almost entirely neglect the use of perfumes. The perfumer who Is making the complaint points out the fact that, while we cultivate the sense of sound, touch, taste, to a certain degree, and the sense of sight, we leave that of smelling practically uncultivated. Well, there is this difference —that the man or woman who indulges her appreciation of odors by wearing perfumes necessarily inflicts these odors on all who come near her. Even the woman who wears bright and clashing colors does not do this, for we can look away—but there is no way of avoiding a perfume. While we breathe we have to use our smelling faculties. Can't you recall how often your pleasure at the theater and your powers of concentration at church or the lecture have been well nigh destroyed simply because of a nearby perfume? No matter how artistic the perfume may be, if it is kept in a close audience or near to you for long at a time it is sure to become annoying, not to say really sickening. As a matter of fact one reason why we Americans go in so little for perfumes is because we are of all nations the most free from unpleasant odors. Our cities, our houses, our theaters are sweet to the nostrils compared to the cities and public places of Europe. In Italy, where no one can visit Venice or Florence without being shocked by the smells of the city, one finds a high appreciation of perfumes. In the Orient, where the faculty of smelling is developed to a fine art the impression of the city odors Is something that the occidental traveler never forgets. The characteristic odors of Bombay, of Calcutta, of Constantinople and Hong Kong, made up of a marvelous complex of mistakes of sanitation, is something that the traveler cannot describe, but the recollection of it is unpleasantly vivid all his life. For our own part we like the American way best. The most desirable fragrance that we can find in our cities, in, our drawing rooms or theaters, is the fragrance of fresh air, air so fresh that it is sweet to the nostrils. And what can compare with the smells of the country? The pine tree, the fresh-mown hay, the hillside after a storm, the breezes that blow over 3,000 miles of ocean, the apple orchard and the grape arbor? These are the smells that the Americans appreciate and love.—Buffalo Express.

Early Booksellers.

The first bookseller’s catalogue in the English language, sofar as is known, is one bearing a date of 323 years ago. It was issued by Andrew Haunsoll of Lothbury, England, and contains an elaborate dedication to Queen Elizabeth. The first booksellers in England were migratory peddlers, who carried their small stock on their backs, and thus may more properly be called pioneer book agents. In the course of time some of the more prosperous hawkers of literature set up small stalls or booths and thus became known as “stationers.” This Is the origin of the word stationer, now generally applied to dealers in “stationery,” which has come to mean writing materials, paper, pens, ink and similar articles. Booksellers in England were for centuries treated as near-crlmlnals and subjected to many restrictions, which were not wholly removed until 1758. The booksellers of both England and America now have powerful associations, the former dating from 1829.

Four-year-old John was visiting his auntie. Now, he had not Intended staying so long and had not brought an Entire change of clothing. So he was much distressed about not being clean. The afternoon before his uncle was to take him home auntie took him to the first vaudeville show he had ever visited. And the comments he made were loud and amusing to the members, of the audience around him. But nothing exactly startling was said until a young woman In black tights came on the stage to do some acrobatic stunts. Then his dear little voice called out so that most of the people there heard him. “Oh, auntie, rite has on a dirty union suit too.”

CHINA ADDS TO DEMON LIST

At L*a*t Five New “Influence*" Hava Come to That Country With Spreading Civilization. China to a land of demons and spirit*. For untold ages every bu*lness. every and every condition of life ha* had Its particular demon or flock of demons. The ancient Chinese religion consisted mainly of rite* to* either propitiate or render powerless the evil spirits and encourage the attendance of the good ones. The category of demons was so complete that it was until modern civilization began to work its changes that there was room for any more. Now, however, there are at least five new devils, according to Dr. W. H. Hudson of Kashing, whose lectures in Shanghai on the Chinese conception of ghosts and spirits have been reported to the San Francisco Chronicle. “Among the modern new devils,” Dr. Hudson said in one lecture, “are the malaria devil, the opium devil, the red match devil, the railway devil and the gunshot devlL The natives of the malaria districts have learned that mosquito netting Is very efficacious in combating the malaria devil. But that method Is not very impressive, and the Chinese, especially those in the back country districts, insist on being Impressed. So the priests and native doctors have devised charms and exorcisms whereby they claim to banish the demon without recourse to the netting. The foreign doctors naturally are skeptical, but if noise and banners and general impressiveness have any virtue, the method should be effective. “The opium devil calls for a particular set of incantations and paper prayers, as does the red match demon. This is a comparatively new demon that came into being about the time that the Chinese discovered that eating match heads was a very convenient and cheap way of committing suicide. The railway devil is distinctly foreign, the natives say. He dwells inside locomotives and his special business is to run the engine over pebple at every opportunity. He is subject to two sets of prayers, one to allay his yearning to destroy, the other invoking his aid for those tired of life and desirous of a speedy end. “Then there is the gunshot devil, not so distinctly foreign as his brother of the railway, but just as bloodthirsty. He has come into prominence since the mode of public execution was changed In most places from behead Ing with the sword to shooting.

Originator of “Bread Line."

John Leake, a wealthy New Yorker of Revolutionary days, was responsible for the “dole of bread” distributed weekly by Trinity parish, provision for which he made in his will. A portion of his will said: “T hereby give and bequeath to the rector and vestrymen of Trinity parish, New York city, N. Y„ 1,000 pounds, put out at interest, to be laid out in the annual income in sixpenny wheaten loaves of bread and distributed to such poor as shall appear most deserving.” The dole’s “wheaten bread” has been distributed for 128 years. Originally 18 poor families were provided for, but only 10 are being taken care of now, due to the high cost of living, and the fact that the same time prosperity has reached out into more homes, and there is less need of IL Each family gets from four to six loaves. St. Luke’s chapel parish house has been the scene of the dole for four years, the charity having been distributed before that time from St. John’s chapel. Originally its home was Trinity church, where the poor had to apply for It at the altar after the Sunday service.

She Comes No More.

My little friend in the apartment across the hall was a studious pupil who had come to my apartment for a few hints in the execution of her studies when a mutual friend of ours who was known as a chatterbox was seen coming down the street headed for my apartment. My friend, being more anxious to spend an hour studying than talking, said, “Tell her that I am not here,” and hid in a fair sized clothes hamper, expecting the talkative party to leave in a moment or two. Forty-five minutes passed and to my horror the hidden one sneezed, while in the clothes hamper. I could barely keep from laughing; In fact, a little smile from me seemed to give away the entire proceeding. The talkative friend evidently had discovered the Intrigue, for she left immediately, and although this happened some time ago, we have never seen her since. This certainly was my most embarrassing moment.— Exchange.

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device, by which ships in distress can ring alarm bells on other ships within wireless range is reported by the American chamber of commerce in London. The present wireless system of communication requires that an operator to hear a call must be on duty, bearing the usual telephone headpiece. The new device is said to enable any station or ship equipped with a special automatic transmitter key to calk up any station or ship within range,, fitted with a corresponding reeelver relay, even if the operator is absent. The calling up, according to the American chamber, is effected by a bell which starts ringing on the ships, called. It is claimed that one of the most Important uses of the devices will beto insure immediate and general attention to S. O. S. calls.
