Sm?tc?1 I'tir ut the Holy Srpulrhrr. !
Florence Is aumuilly the k> rue of a
curious ceremony which dales frjut
the time of the crusades. As the gcuerally
accepted tradition runs, Godfrey I
de ltjuillon was r.ceompuule I on his
crusade by a young Florentine noble
uauied ltauiero, who was the first to I
plant a Christian banner on the walls
of Jerusalem. Godfrey presented him !
in reward for bis bravery w'tli a I
lighted from the sacred lire before ti e
holy sepulcber. ltauiero w..s forced to
resort to many peculiar devices in order
to preserve his holy relic intact.
When tin- wind blew he turned in his
saddle, with his face toward his horse's |
tall, wrapping his cloak around h.'s precious
burden, and often when pa-sing
through populous towns, where this
strange attitude would have attracted
uuplc?M?aut attention, he inclosed the
flame in an iron hall, which lie carelessly
rolled before him with his foot. I
Even then Ids actions caused comment.
and people shook their heads as
he passisl by and called him "pnitxo," .
or fool, whence came the family name
of l'ax/.i, celebrated in Florentine his- ;
torv.
Arrived at length in Ids beloved town j
of Florence, lie deposited his lamp in ;
the little church of San ltiugio. It is
still kept burning and plays an important
part in tlie following ceremony, j
which takes place before the cathedral
every Saturday before Banter:
Shortly before noon a service is held
in the baptistery, all the prierts and
high officials of the church In ceremonial
robes participating. At the '
stroke af ill the piazza is c-owded
with eager sightseers, mostly country
people in holiday costume, wi;li guy
colored handkerchiefs over their heads.
Every one is on the qui vive for
the "carro," which soon comes lumbering
around the corner, drawn by four
enormous white oxen, tirent bouquets
of dowers arc tied between their horns,
which are gilded for the occasion.
The car is an antique affair, made of
brown wood. The arms of the 1'azzl
family, dolphins, are curved on it. and
its towering height creaks under the
load of big firecrackers strung around
it in festoons. The national colors?
red, white and green? Hutb-r in the
breeze as it is placed just in front of
the great door of the cathedral. The
oxen are unyoked and led into a side
street.
The doors of the baptistery fly open,
and a solemn procession enters the
cathedral, where a light from the holy
lamp of Sail lliagio lias been placed on
the altar. A wire has been stretched
from the altar to a fuse on the ear, j
and a curious mechanical dove, with i
another fuse in its mouth, lies wait- !
iug near the priest's hand. lie pronounces
a blessing over it. lights the
fuse and sends it whirling along the
.wire straight to the car, where it sti. ks
its bill among the fireworks for a moment
and thou triumphantly flics back
again.
The firecrackers begin to hang with
an energy that would do credit to the
Fourth of July efforts of any small
American. Around and around creeps
the tiny flame, and a battery of reports
like pistol shots follow in its track.
The peasants shriek with delight and 1
scurry backward and forward to es- i
cane I lie ' ts of burning iinner that fill 1
the uir. Hoys dodge under one's el- I
bows and push and wriggle through t
I ho crowd to got uouror the great {
sight. Babies cry, dogs bark, the great >
bells iu Giotto's lower ring for the j
first time in three days, and clouds of ;
frightened pigeons dash backward and |
forward. With an unexpected "fizzle" t
the sound suddenly dies away.
The peasants go on their way re- i
Jololng. The weather has been fine. I
and the ear has "burst" itl.e title of j
this article meaning "the bursting of '
the ear"ito perfection, and there will j
consequently be a good harvest. The !
crowd disperses as if by uingic, many !
following the ear to the palace of the !
Pnzzi, where a fresh supply of crack 1
era Is exploited in honor of Kaniero
and his descendants. By 1 o'clock the
piazza is as tranquil as ever, with its (
omnibuses trundling through, and San
Biagio retires into his usual lethargy

before a Missouri justice of the peace
w hen the opposing counsel cited
"Greenlcaf on Kvid :nv" s.? de. id.*dl\
against him that a hold push must be
made. W ilson asked him t' the book,
opened it. rose and, with a look of i
s ilenm surprise, said he was amazed
that s > go >d a lawyer should bring j
such a book ax that into court. Why." !
said he, "the author himself nevet
thought of its being used for authority
in any case. .Insi hear what he says
in the preface: puuhtlrs.x a happier so

iut even then he will usually give him

Generally speaking, Rweet odors are
lore persistent than their opposite, the
ulphureted compounds in purtiunhuvapornting
rapidly on exposure to the
tmospbere. although the stuell of denying
animal matter is said to endure
or days after the cause of It has been
euioved. The olfactory sense, howver,
usually becomes blunted ie time
rheu assailed continuously by auy one
dor. Workmen in big perfumeries beonie
case hardened to the fragrance of
heir surroundings, and nose pain is
ortunately even more deadening in its
fleets than most forms of physical
uffering. Again, different smells do
ot mix. It Is said that if two nostrils
re stuffed with different substances
re smell first one atul then the other
lternntely, but uever a blending of the
wo together. This is probably the
ase with the lower animals, too, and

U oue afternoon on the western prailes
at a time the dog himself was so
doriferous owing to an unfortunate
ncounter with a skunk on the pr<>vius
day that he was hardly upproachble.
Among Luiiiiui iuuividwe the m-uw
if smell, like those of sight and Learng,
varies considerably, and tertain
lersons seem to lie quite unaffected by
ertsin odors. Just us others are "color
ilind" to certain colors or "tone deaf"
o the shrill call of a bat or the ehlrpng
of a cricket. Perhaps it is lndicaive
of the manner in which we are
bscoutinuing the use of our noses that
here is 110 oue word iu the English
imgua ge (such as "blindness" or "deafiess"j
signifying the complete absence
>f the perception of smell, although the
oudition undoubtedly exists and is iuleed
not uncommon as a sequela of
onie diseases.
It is true That we may claim a eu>eriority
to the brute creation in the
ange of our susceptibility to various
dors, for the carulvora seem to be
luite Insensible to the scent of plants
ind flowers, while the lierbivora pay
ittle attention to animal odors except
or the purpose of detectlug the npiroach
of enemies. But we are cerainly
inferior to them in ncutencss, at
ill events we of the civilized races, alhough
there seems to he no reason
vhy this sense should not be cultivated
and its efficiency re-enforced by deiberate
training. This view is sup>orted
by the fact that men born deaf
ind dumb and blind Lave been known
o develop their latent powers of smell
o a pitch of perfection quite unlnteligible
to ordinary mortals. We use
ipectacles to assist the eyesight, ear
rmu|K?ts and artificial ear drums to
,'orrect deafness; why should not
iclence supply us with some handy inttrument
that would stimulate the olfactory
fibers or magnify the potency
if effluvia? There are many ways In
vliich such an addition to our physical
and inentul) equipment might be useful,
for the nose has the oue cardinal
nuvumuge over ine eyes m mat it is
ijulte independent of light. After nil,
even the range of vision may l>e outdistanced
by that of smell, if it be true,
for instance, tiint the Spice islands of
Die Indian archipelago are to l>e distinguished
far out at sen long before they
linve been sighted from the lookout.
According to Humboldt the Peruvian
Indians on the darkest night cannot
snly perceive the approach of a stranger
while still far distant, but can I
sven tell whether he is a negro or an
Indian or a European. The Arabs of
Die desert are said to smell fire thirty
?r forty miies away. The Indian of
North America certainly uws ins nose
in the pursuit of game, and Major General
Baden-Powell strongly recommended
the practice to white men in
Ills treatise on scouting
