A TI'oory of Perfumes Dr. Fabris, of France, who Is eminent both as a botanist and a physiologist,, was preparing an exhaustive work on "The Function of Perfume in Flowers," when a brilliant Idea flashed across his brain. lie was at the moment engaged upon a chapter treating of the effect wich different per fumes produce upon hutian beings, as illt trated by the well known facts that the smell of sauer-kraut causes the Frenchman to thirst for German blood, and that the smell of the Venetian canals at low tide awakes lit (4he visiting tourist a wild desire to fly anywhere, any where out of the world. The thought occurred to the learned Doctor: Are not all our impulses (1ue to the influ ence of perfumes, and is it inot, possihlO to make the human nose the grcat instrument ef education ? This thought led to the long series of careful experiments which finally enabled him to formulate rules for the pro duction of female character at will. It. is a curious fact that Dr. Fabris found early in lihe course of his investigation that. tte grosser nature of man could not be affected by perfumes to any very great extent, while the more sensitive feminine nose ylelded promptly to even the ir.ost delicato per fumes. At present, therefore, the Fabris system of nasal education is limited to the gentler sex, though the discoverer has not abandoned the hope of mastering the secret of the masculine nose. Dr. Fabris's ex periments were made with the aid of seventy-eight small girls of between 10 and 1 years of age. Small girls suitable for scientific experiment are cheap in Venice, but the Doctor would have spent a fortunie, if necessary, li Itis investigal.ions. h'ltese girls he divided into six chasses. Each class was kept (lay and night lit an atmos phere stepped in some particular perfume. The effects of thme specifle perfumes were carefully studied, a. <I the result is really startling. Tie class of girls i musk con sisted of thirteen members chosen it ran dom. At the end of six months every girl, without exception had become plump, ilan guid, and conspicuously good tempered tn less under extreme provocation. Though Dr. Fabris found that musk produced a de sire for wearing flue clothes and jewelry, it was also evident that it did not stimulate a taste for personal neatness, though per haps this was due to ndisposit iott to take any unnecessary trouble, which is the char acteristic effect of musk. This experiment convinced the mvestigator that ant amiable, languid and showy girl, with a tendency to undue poetponement in the mitter of changing collars and cuffs, may be pro duced by the aid of musk in from live to six months, out of the most scraggy, spite ful and'viclusly active material. The ef feet of the perfume of the rose was pre-* cisely opposite to that of initusk. The girls of the rose class grew thin, abnormally neat, excessively prudish, and decidedly unami able. A curious unwillingness to tell the truth was ieveloped in twelve of the thir. teen girls subjected to this experiment, a result which was ite more remarkable since, lit other respects, they were unusually strict in obeying the teachings of the Church. For this style of girl there is, of course, little or no demand, except in those parts of New Engiland where every girl is expected to becomea school teacher. It is, however, of great iportance for us to know the real effect. of the rose, and from this date onward we may expect that. con selentious fathers aind husbands will see that this objectionabile lperfumltte does not enter their houses. Geratlun was foui to produce a fair sample of girl. Thde subjecled to its influence developed the plumpness or thle mtuusk girls, a decidedly independent spirit, and a tendency to fre'e thinking lit matters of religion. This kind of girl would proibably meet. wi a large * demand int our we~sternt anid northt-westerit States, whiere personal becauty and1( st rengih of chtaraceter sie mumch p~rized, and where orthodoxy in religiont is ntot restardied as es sentiai. D~r. Fabris is itchined to thlin k that bty the alternatle action of geranimn anitd violet a mtodifiedi girl mightt lie pro duced whlo would lie ia detcided implhrove mtont uipon eithter a pure geraniumt or a ipure' violet girl. This however, temnains to be proved by further expterimtents. Very sat. isfactory results were obtained by I le use of violet. The girls upon whomt this per fmne was employed beocame gentle, ut amle, * refined, devout, andi thoroughly truthful. They also, howver, developed somte indi catious of mtelancholy, and were, as ai rule, lacking in physical and moral force. So far as the D~octor's investigations have been putshedl, violet ap~peatrs to give the best me suits. It is to be htopedl that his expeetat tions ias to the alternate use of violet antd geraniumi will be justitied ; for ini that case we shall lie able to prioduce girls whlo wvill be almtost faultiess. 'lThe only othier per fttne with wh iich D r. F~abris expierimnented was patchtoula, tand the results were matst discoutraging. At thte entd of twvo mon~iths the girls of the patchtouli class had deC veloped nearly every undl~esirahlo (quality, andI it was perhaps a good thing that it moh', justly maddened bty thte scent of pitlehoutli whbich radiated fronm thte D octor's laboratory, broke Into the premtises aind diestroyedi everything they could lay their hiands Ott, including thte girls of the patchouli claiss, anttd several valuable articles of furniturie antd scientifle Insetrumnents.

Among the near kindred of the whale is the famuous umcorn-not the companion of the lion on the British coat-of-arms, but its counterpart aiong the wonders of the deep. Inferior of size to the right whale, it has tle advantage of a most formidable weapon, with which nature has provided it for as yet unknown purposes. ''his is the mon strous tooth which projects from tie upper jaw of the animal ; it Is as large as a man's thigh at the base, turned in a spiral, and sharply pointedi at the end ; hollow within, it shows externally the finest and whitest ivory known to the trade. Te Narwah, or nose-whale was so called bve'ause the Dutch, who seem to have had the christen ing of most living thilgs in northern re gions, at first took this horn, projct ing straight ahead. ten or even fifteii feet. for a grotesque iong nose. Some say tie ani mal uses this odd a(ppe() 11vnge to pierce holes ultrough the ice wheii he comes tilp to breatthe ; otlers, that lie moves oI seaward with it, by which lie grazes. There is no doubt that, at times lie transfixes fish with his gigantic stiletto, so that ie may be able to devour them at loisttte. The legend has it, that a king of Denmark, wishing to make somebody a present of a piece of the horn of the unicorn-for such it was long considered-ordered one of his high olli cials to ett off a piece at tihe thicker end of a itmil(- specimen which Ie possessed. The officer did -so, and to his astonislimeit, found what lie had looked upon itas a solid horn was hollow, an11d in tle concavity lie discovered a smiallIr horn of tlie same sha pe and (lhe Faime substaincce.

Sw ar APPL s As Food.--There are very few People who seem to know what a healthful, nlourishinlg, appeti. zing and satisfying use can be made of this fruit. Baked and served with cream, they make a light and most de Ilelous dessert. Sieed and used in priddings of varlous sorts, they save other sweetenings, inld give a grateful elemnient of freshness to the dish. And this suiggests that one reason vhy baked apples of' any kind fall into dis favor in many families is beeause they are not fresh. A tinfull or two l baked up "to save time" and they come upon the fable more and iore (lead and dI lapidiated, shrunken and slippery, until the very gt of themi discourages and sickens the family. A baked apple over one day old Is past. its prime; and an a1pple. like an egg, that 'has seen better days,'' we don't want to exercise our charity on I But it is in putt.Ing the finishing touch on a bowl of broad and milk that baked sweet apples find their highest mission. Given milk that is pure and fresh ; bread that is both foreordalimd and perfected in grace for such a Ilse, whileh meanms hone-Iade, niilk-rIsi g bread, a little stale, but light, m8oist aid sweet . and a plate of apples Just done through, and only 1o11'g enioigh out of the oven to have lot, their heat without getting really colil and you have a lunch lit for a king; too good, Iideed,'- for the most of tile men who are in "tilh6 king business.'' This dish has the three elements of uitihment found In bread, mil1k and fruit ; and if there Is anything better Iban this combinatloi the fact hasn't le:iked out, either through selence or experlenect. One iial a day of bread and sweet apples, for children and peo ple of sedentary habits, would be better thiani the food which costs imul 111010 in time ani(d liolloy, that maniy of tihem1 now indulige in.

As sales were slow he thought to flatter the crowd by sayins: "Gen tlemon, I have travelled over 25,00'" iiles 1in this coultry, Se011 all sorts of people IInld como III contact with all color1, and I must, say that you twenty men now surroundin- me have tie most intelligent appearance of illy coterle I ever saw." in the crowd was a six-footer who drives a coai-art. le had been chewing guii in a very do liberate and methodical manner, and wilen the speech was ended he slowly turned from man to man to see what ei'ect Iad been produced.

"I don't know that there is." "Cani you construe the appearance of the lobe of ily left ear into an admis sionl that at the preSCIt m11om1ent I amll out of wine-jelly and cucumbers?
