The esbwebs wiil seem to aun impres- sionable visitor the noblest things in the Bordeaux cellars. Some of them look like thick pile curtains, somber in hue, of course, but famously suggestive of warmth, And with even only a moderate imagination one may go to and fro among the barrels fancying the pendent shapes overhead are dusky stalactites instead of the airy next to nothing as they really are. If you hold your candle high enough you may shrivel a few yards of the fabric. But that were truly a shocking deed of vandalizm, for, though no layman can understand why this dismal tapestry is reverenced as it is, his ignorance will not be held sufficient excuse for his crime.~Chambers’ Journal. I. Marriage by Proxy. In Tpliand, says a Scotch paper, marriage by proxy is allowed. This is the so called "marriage by the glove” ~and is usually put in practice by a Dutchman who is sojourning abroad and, wanting a wife, is too poor or t00 far off to return home for one. In such a case he writes howe to a law- yer, who selects one conformable to the |- requirements of his client. If the gen- “tleman approves he next sends the law- yer a soiled left hand glove and a ‘power of attorney, which settles the business. A friend marries the woman by proxy, and she is thereafter prompt- ly shipped off to her new home. ti »° What a “Hurricane” Is. “Hurricane” is the old Spanish name ODORS IN THERAPEUTICS. Perfumes and Their Use in the Prac- tice of Medicine, Odors, whether agreeable or dis- agreeable, are not causes of disease in the sense generally taken. They may disorder certain healthy functions by impairing nervous energy, by diminish- ing wholesome respiration and thus creating a predisposition to attack by disease ed to overcome persons upon their en- trance into a room in which tuberoses ure kept. Headache is often produced by the odors emanating from the hon- eysuckle, lily, rose of Sharon or carna- tion. The odor of betony in flower is said to have caused intoxication in those who gather it. The making of jinseed decoctions and the triturating of roses, pinks, walnuts or colocynth are often accompanied by attacks of syn- odors in therapeutics. The odors of vanilla and heliotrope are credited with possessing a soothing influence over persons subjected to attacks of nerv- ousness. The use of toilet water in the form of a spray will often restore those exhausted with the cares of busi- ness, social or domestic duties. In the cast the use of perfume is considered a purifier, though we look upon it mere- Iy as a luxury. It is asserted that those | who are employed in laboratories where perfumes are made or among growing flowers are healthy to an ex- tent exceeding those not so employed.— Medical Record. MUSIC'S MIGHTY REALM. In It There Is but a Single and Uni- versal Speech. “In the mighty realm of music there is but onc single speech.” Music forms the universal language which, when all other languages were confounded, the | confusion of Babel left unconfounded. The white man and the black men, the red man and the yellow man, can sing together, however difficult they may find it to be to talk to each other. And both sexes and all ages may thus ex- press Yeir emotions simultaneously, for in v of the power of the ear to distinguish side by side those differing but concordant notes which make up harmony there is not only room, but demand, for all the qualities of voice which childhood, adolescence, maturity and old age supply. Thus a love of music is much more frequent than a love of painting or sculpture, and you will reach the hearts and touch the feelings of the majority of mankind more quickly by singing them a song than by showing them a picture. In truth, the sensitiveness of the ear to melody and to harmony is so great that we not only seek to gratify it when bent upon recreation, but even in the midst of the hardest labor we gratify it if we can.—London Catholic Times. Queer Little Blunders. From an account of the Doncaster (England) Art club's annual exhibition in the Doncaster Gazette: “Miss — also goes in for portraiture. In hitting off her father's head her intentions are good, but the execution lacks very much | in artistic finish.” In the London Mail's description of a parade in honor of the king of the Hel- lenes the reporter said: “The soldiers, clad only in their scarlet tunics, pre- sented an unpleasant contrast with the warmly clad members of the police force.” From the windows of a British tailor: “We have cleared a Scotch merchant's remains of high class overcoatings at a big reduction.” —. Not a Born Forger. The indorsement of checks is a very simple thing, but, as the fol story will show, it, too, has its difficulties: A woman went into a bank where she had several times presented checks drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This time the check was made to the order of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her husband's initials. She explained this to the paying teller and asked what she should do. “Oh, that is all right,” he said. “Just indorse it as it is written there.” She took the check and, after much hesitation, said, “I don't think I can make an M like that.” hy HL Hh Severe faintness is sometimes obsery. | Sreat that it seems impossible for any . single monk to have done it. cope. i Attempts have been made to utilize THE DEVIL'S CODE. Legend of a Monk, Satan and « Quick Night's Work. Stockholm’s public library contains a wonderful work which is called “The EF The story of the origin of the manu- script, however, not only gives it as the work of one man, but also states it to be the work of a single night. The story runs as follows: “A poor monk had been condemned to death, bat was told mockingly by his judges that if he was able to copy the whole ‘Code’ between darkness and in the middle ages as it is now, for the monk, forgetting the hopelessness of his task, commenced it. Before long, however, he saw that he could not save his own life by such weak exertions, soul if he were assisted in the task. “lhe ‘devil kindly obliged by appear- ing on the spot, accepted the and sat down to the work, morning ‘The Devil's Code’ ed, the monk being found copying clerk from the gions presumably fled away poor man's soul as soon as the wicked compact was finished.” — Pearson's Weekly. Embarrassing. A New York judge, speaking of a mistake that had been made, seid: “It man of Toledo whom I heard about the other day. He had been calling now and then on a young lady, and one night as he sat in the parlor waiting for her to come down her mother en- tered the room instead and asked him in a very grave, stern way what his intentions were. He turned very red and was about to stammer some inco- herent reply when suddenly the young lady called down from the head of the stairs, ‘Mamma, mamma, that is not the one!” ” Remembered the Text. A little Topeka girl came home from church the other day and was asked what the minister's text was. “I know it all right,” she asserted. “Well, re peat it,” her questioner demanded. “ 't be afraid and I will get you a bedquilt,” was the astonishing answer. Investigation proved that the central thought of the sermon had been, “Fear not, and I will send you a comforter.” —Kansas City Journal. Nurses and the Cleigy.

They are generally printed in black on thin cardboard, the average width and breadth being about that of the finger of a human being. In the size, is always at least six times that of the width. Some of the packs have queer representations of our “kings,” “queens” and “knaves” stamp- ed upon them in black. Others are dec- orated with the figures of animals, birds and fishes. Those used by man- darins and high officials bear only fig- ures of mythological creatures. He Had Been There. The clergyman was holding a chil dren's service at a continental resort. During the lesson he had occasion to catechise his hearers on the parable of the unjust steward. “What is a steward?” he asked. A little boy, who had arrived from England a few days before, held up his hand. “He is the man, sir,” he replied, with a reminis- cent look on his face, “who brings you a basin.”—London Globe.

Fowler, Jr. Pare Olive GIL If olive oil congeals in freezing weather, it is a sign that it Is adulter- ated with lard. Very few bottles of so called olive oil will stand this simple test—in fact, we seldom get the pure thing, and, if we did, the chances are that we could not eat it. At least, that was the experience once upon a time of one woman whe used a great deal of mayonnaise dressing upon her table and had supposed that she doted on olive ofl. An Italian friend bestowed upon her a flask of the peculiarly green fluid. To her surprise, not one of her family, herself included, could bear its taste. There was a tang to it which showed them that they had never eaten olive oil before and that they never wanted to eat it again. So they gave the flask away.—New York Telegram. Thackeray's Apology. Thackeray once wrote in a note to a friend, alluding to an incident occs- sioned by one of his articles in Punch: “I thought over the confounded matter in the railroad and wrote instantly on arriving here a letter of contrition and apology to Henry Taylor for having made what I see now was a flippant and offensive allusion to Mrs. Taylor. I am glad I have done it. I am glad that so many people whom I have been thinking bigoted and unfair and un- just toward me have been right and that I have been wrong, and my mind is an immense deal easier.” A Great Idea. “My new play is sure to make a hit,” said the great actress. “It gives me an opportunity to display twenty new gowns." “Gracious!” exclaimed her friend. “How many acts?” “Only four, but in one of them the scene's at a dressmaker’s.”—Philadel- phia Press.
