ODOR TAINTED AIR.
It Is Not In Itself Poisonous or Even
Unhealthful.
According to the American Magazine,
"bad" air is not so bad. The
y>oint is explained as follows by ]
V Ut- - Ilirshberg of Johns Hopkins j
' university in an article on "Popular
Medical Fallacies:"
"Foul air?which has for its acmnoninrr

VV|/IVU V
gases and odors of decay?is not in
itself poisonoi^ or even unhealthful.
Unless it contains such a large
proportion of foreign gases that it
is noticeably lacking in oxygen its
chief effect is psychic. Some persons,
in brief, cannot abide a
stench. It sets their nerves on edge
and excites their imaginations, and
the result is that they grow pallid
r ~*nd at times seasick.
~-v "Thus indirectly it may weaken
them and make them an easy prey
to wandering microbes. But of itself
it produces little direct harm.
Medical students, breathing the unspeakable
gases and odors of the
dissecting rooni, manage to eat vast
dinners and to grow fat. Tanners,
garbage men, workers in fertilizer
factories and other persons who are
habitually surrounded by hair raising
aromas arc ordinarily just as
healthy as other folk.

with rather more germs and germ
bearing insects than air which
seems (to the nose) to be pure is
beside the point. Experience shows
that pure air often contains as
many of these enemies to health as
the most foul exudations from a
sewer outlet. The Stegomyia fasciata,
which carries the germs of
yeWow fever, would be just as deadly
on a mountain top as along the
shore of a Louisiana bayou; hence
the absurdity ^f shotgun quarantines
and of all the other medicinal
manifestations of alarm that appear
when yellow jack rages on the gulf
coast."

French Art Running Riot.
Clever dealers in artifice?that is
what the majority of painters in
Paris have become. For one man
whose work is "of the centre" you
have scores, hundreds, who are facile
and sometimes even accomplish^
ed, but in the grain of their work inj
: curably factitious. They have made
i no better use of the freedom from
formula, won by Manet and the others,
than to put more formulae,
usually very hollow ones, in the
foreground. Little groups are formed,
each one devoted to the unfolding
of a trick which some new man
has made temporarily popular. They
^wax and wane, and you wonder why
they ever flourish at all. A sensation
is made at the salon not by
an honest piece of painting with an
original accent, but by some prismatic
audacity having 110 relation
to nature, by some purely arbitrary
scheme of chiaroscuro or, as in one
case that I have in mind, by a return
to the "brown sauce" of the
old masters. ? Royal Cortissoz in

An Ideal Citizen.
The ideal citizen is the man who
^ri^ieves that all men are brothers
anofae nation is merely an extension
of hS family, to be loved, respected
and cared for accordingly.
Such a man atttojds personally to
all civic duties wjth which he
deems himself charged." Those
which are within his own control
he would no more trust to his inferiors
than he would leave the education
of his children to kitchen
servants. The public demands upon
?f;| ins time, uiougiit ana muiiey eume
upon him suddenly, and often they
find him ill prepared, but he nerves
himself to the inevitable, knowing
that in the village, state and nation
any mistake or neglect upon his
part must impose a penalty sooner
or later upon those whom lie loves.

Punctilious.
A Washington woman prominent
in the official set of the national
capital tells of a function to which
she had invited an attache of one
of the legations famous for his extreme
politeness. The invitation
was formally accepted, but on the
morning of the appointed day she
received a note, written bv the diplomatist's
valet and couched in the
following terms:
"Scnor Blank regrets much that
he will not be able to attend Mrs.
So-and-so's reception on the evening
of the ?2d inst., as he is dead."

WOMAN'S PERFIDY.
The Way It Was First Disclosed ti
George Brandes.
In his young manhood Georg<
Brandes lived almost entirely in the
life of the intellect. Once he miss
ed keeping an engagement with i
girl because he was absorbed in lie
gel's philosophy at the time whei
he ought to have been at the tryst
ing place. He tells about it in his
"Kecollections:" "With a passionate
desire to reach a comprehension ol
truth, I grappled with the system
began with the encyclopedia, read
the three volumes of '.Esthetics,
the 'Philosophy of Law,' the 'Philosophy
of History,' the 'Phenomenonologv
of the Mind.' then the 'Philosophy
of Law' again and finally the
'Logic,' the 'Natural Philosophy
and the 'Philosophy of the Mind' in
a veritable intoxication of comprehension
and delight. One day when
a young girl toward whom I felt attracted
had asked me to go and saj
goodbv to her before her departure
I forgot the time, her journey and
my promise to her over my Hegel.
As I walked up and down my room
I chanced to pull my watch out of
my pocket and realized that I had
missed my appointment and that
the girl must have started long
ago.
Once before in earlier days had
he missed another engagement with
another young lady, one Henrietta.
Vny iKn cqL-o rtf TTpnripftfl's beauti
ful eyes and under those eyes he
had soundly thrashed another little
boy. Then Henrietta asked him if
he would meet her the same evening
under the old bay tree. Dr. Brandes
writes: "When we met she had two
long straps with her and at once
asked me somewhat mockingly and
dryly whether I had the courage to
let myself be bound. Of course 1
said I had, whereupon very carefully
and thoroughly she fastened my
arms together with one strap. Could
I move my arms? Xo. Then with
eager haste she swung the other
strap and let it fall on my back
again and again.
"My first 'smart jacket' was a
well thrashed one. She thoroughly
enjoyed exerting her strength. Naturally
my boyish ideas of honor
would not permit me to scream or
complain. I merely stared at her
with the profoundest astonishment.
She gave me no explanation, released
my hands, we each went our
own way, and I avoided her for the
rest of my stay." Then Henrietta
went away and told people. "This,"
says Brandes, "was my first experience
of woman's perfidy. This was
my first real experience of feminine
nature."
No Quail For Him.
"Quail, villain!" He pointed his
trusty shooting iron at the head of
the man who had been treating the
beautiful maiden to a job lot of general
wickedness ever 6ince the curtain
went up.
"At last I have thee! Quail!"
But,'contrary to the direction in
act 3, scene 2, the villain stood his
ground.
"Quail. I tell thee! Whv dost not
quail ?"
"Can't risk it on 30 bob a week,"
quoth the villain, with a defiant
sneer saved over from the first act,
"because, forsooth, quail is legally
out of season, and I see a gamekeeper
in the audience."
Then he kicked over an Alp, waded
through the bay of Naples, fell
into the thunder and only stopped
in "his mad flight to remark to the
manager that an actor with a reputation
must decline to play on that
stage, as there were flies on it.?
Pearson's Weekly.
Hi* Thr** Thinks.
A father instructed his son never
to speak until he had thought three
times. One day the old gentleman
was standing with his back to a fireplace
and his coattail dangerously
near the bars. The lawabiding son
was in the room and suddenly jumped
off his chair.
"Father," he said, with wonderful
deliberation, "I think"?
"Well, what do you think?" was
the reply.
"Father," repeated the youth, "I
"Well, well, my son, what do you
think ?" said the father.
"Father," again the boy remarked,
"I think"?
"Well, well, what do you think?"
said the father impatiently.
"I think your coattail is on fire!"
Her Compliment.
"Well, goodbv, Mr. Green. It
was so nice of you to come. It does
father such a lot of good to have
some one to talk to."
"I was delighted to come, Miss
Brown, but I'm not much of a conversationalist."
"My dear Mr. Green, don't let
that trouble you. Father's ideal listen
o- is an absolute idiot, with no
conversation whatever, and I know
he has enjoyed himself tremendously
tonight."

I ODD CASE OF COMBUSTION
Rosebushes Shipped In Wet Moss Al*
most Burned Up.
A peculiar case of spontaneous
' combustion or something like it is
' described by a writer in CassieFa
Magazine.
1 On Feb. 1?, 1906, two large refrigerator
cars of young rosebushes
1 were received at Ho.,:r*-u J
j a nursery in California. They were j
' shipped in wooden cases containing
t numerous auger hole3 for ventila'
tion and were carefully packed with
f wet sphagnum, or California swamp I
; moss, to prevent chafing and to sup-1
port their vitality.
Xo ice was put in the cooling i
tanks, and the covers of these as j
well as all other openings in the j
; cars were closed as tightly as possible.
The cars were ten' days in
1 transit. The outside temperature
was 60 degrees F. at the start and
' 15 degrees at the end of the trip.
Upon arrival steam was issuing
from every crevice of the cars. '
; Upon removing the tank covers it j
rushed out in large volume. The j
doors were opened, and ice was put j
! in the tanks. The free circulation ;
of cold air soon cooled the contents |
of the cars.
In unloading it was discovered J
1 that some of the upper layers of!
boxes were badly damaged bv heat,;
which naturally was most intensej
near the top of the cars. Xo signs :
of actual combustion were found,;
but this would probably have oc- {
currcd in a short time had not thej
, ears been quickly cooled.
The temperature must have been I
' ? #
nearly up to the burning point, as,
many of the green stems of these ,
plants were black and brittle.

Pitti and the Emperor.
A pretty story is told of Patti's
friendship for the old Emperor Wil- ]
liam I. of Germany. Once when she
was singing at Hamburg the king 1
sent her a message asking her to
walk with him in the morning when |
he took the waters. "Certainly'
not," replied the prima donna to
the bearer of the message. "I get <
up early for no king in Europe." In ]
later years when the emperor, then j
an infirm old man, sent to ask her ,
to visit him in his box, apologizing
for being unable to go to her behind
the scenes, she replied, with |
tears in her eyes, "Oh, now, sire, I
would run anywhere to see you." (
