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

The Wiater Unicorn.
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

a grotesque iong nose. Some say tie ani

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. 'T'lie hitter was

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

now indulige in. A pinch of salt or a
spooliful o1 1lme Wiater will preventtile
un pleasant effect which milk las on

rectiired to give relish to such a Iuneh,
ani 110 digestion that is good 1' ally

To Maxx VINEGAn.-Good vinegar
Can be made with sugar, water and
yeast, but clder viiiegar is better. For
the f'orier', holl coarse sugar with
water inl the proportion of it poIltd for
each gallon, and skim the mixture.
Whenl Iuke-warm, add yeast; a p1Wint
for every three gallons of water. It is
best to) spread the yeast on toasted
bread. Let it work for tweity-four
lotirs, then turn into a cask or Jug and
expose to the heat ol' thil sumer1 111. sunll,
or placee it near tle lIre. Fasteni a
piece of netthig over the bunghole to
keep out flies and insects. At the e;id
of tibree weeks or a mloit~h it will be
very good viiiegar 11 the hiet ha1s been
great, enough ; It not., it will reqtif re
longer. It will of course 1iprove with
age.
J T''ll INovi'ns.-Holl out some
short paste albout one-eight 1h of an inch01
thick, cut it ir. pileces about four inches
in lenigth, and hotween two and three
1nches in breadtith ; lay en1 Wach a little
apple jam, og ally other preserved
fruni, without syrip; tiurn the edges

HUMOROUS.
A 'iAVEi.LINo tramp was trying to
sl toothache-drops and corn-salve to
a small crowd at the hlead of Monroe
avenue. 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. IFiinding al
look of ildifference oil en fice Ie
swallowed his quid, pushed his way to
the front, and kleckiig over the dry
good:s box' used by the 'doctor" as a
cottter, Ie floutrlsihed his fists and
(nlled out - "Mobbe this 'ere crowd

had pressing business elsewhere.
WnAT iE WANTED.-As lie walked
into tihe grocery store tile clerk leatied
over the counter and asked hin what
ie wanted.
'Do I loo'k as though in need of any
thing ?"
"I thought, perhaps you wanted some
potatoes,'' the clerk said, appologeti
cally.
"Is there any thing peculiar about my
eyes, nose or teeth which seems to sug
gest a lack of potatoes oil my part?"
"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? Can
you infer from the disheveled state of
my hair that my children ire it home
crying for soft crabs and tonatoes?
Well, I didn't suiippos you could. I
dot't want to buy LIythiing ; but I'll
be obliged to you if you'll lendf me your

It was handed out to hilm.
A wiiLi.-known joker, being one
uighlt at a theatre, faineted lie saw a
friend some three seatsin frontof him.
Ttrning to his next neighbor, lie said :
"'Would you be kin(] eniottgh to touch
that gentleman with your stick?'
'C'ertaiinly," was the reply, and the
tling was (one. But When the ndi
vidual thus assaulted turned round, the
wag saw lie was not the man he took
hilm for, anl became it once absorbed
in tle phIy, leaiving his 'ieigih)or witl
tile stick to settle matters with the
gentleman in front, which, as lie had
no excuse ready, was not dne Without
considerable trouble. When the hub

want?" "Oh," said the Joker, wii

A SMA.. boy with a big cent in his

what lie desired, lie inquired : "If a

for a stick of gum, how much would it
be ?" "One cCeit," was tihe renly.
"One cent," was the reply. "And if a
