They figure entertainingly in an article in a German magazine on Prof. Max von Pettenkofer, who has been called the founder of scien tific hygiene. The professor's, absent-mindedness had no narrow or restricted range; It covered everything; but umbrellas seemed to be his specialty. He lost a fortune in umbrellas, for he seldom came back with what he had taken away. Once, however, he made a trip as tar as England, and was very proud of having actually succeeded in bringing back his umbrella to Germany. At Augsburg he stopped on business, but sent a telegram saying: "At 6 o'clock I return with my um brella." He did return at 6 o'clock, but as he entered his house at Munich he saw to bis dismay that he had no umbrella. He had left it at the telegraph office. .

A London paper quotes a shopgirl as saying that the Englishwoman can generally be persuaded to take this or that, whether she wants it or not, and that she does not often see that she gets value for her money. The English are also courteous and consid erate. It appears that Americans, on the other hand, give the greatest trou ble of all. They are afraid of being cheated, they want to make sure be fore they buy that they could not get the same thing for less money else where, and they are never courteous. As shoppers it is Frenchwomen, how ever, who command tjie greatest ad miration, we are told. They always know exactly what they want and will take nothing else. Bullions In Oats.

Scientists' and travelers tell us that i one of the first changes that occur In a man who lives an absolutely natural life for a few months is an extraordi nary Intensification of the sense of smell. Describing his meeting with Mr. Jackson in the wilds of Franz Josef Land, Dr. Nansen tells how he' first discovered his nearness to the English explorer by the scent of a fragment of soap which the latter had used that morning. " His companion, Johansen, noticed the scent also. "As I approach ed Jackson's hut," says the great Swed ish explorer, "I thought I could smell everything it contained and" give a; , sort of inventory of its stores without entering." But even then the doctor's sense of 8m ell could not be compared with that : of the real savage. .The Peruvian In j dians, walking at night in the darkness , of the thick forests which line he low er spurs of the Andes, can distinguish, respectively, by the smell, alone, be- tween a white man, a negro or one of their own race. Few people realize how very closely connected are the senses of taste and smell. ' Many of the substances, which we say taste good are not tasted at all, but gratify ts by their, -appeal to the sense of 'smell.-' All ineats,: iind: fruits, for instance, are smelt rather than tasted. This is easily proved' by the fact that a bad-, cold almost destroys our appreciation of any of these classes of foods or drinks. On the other hand, however bad a cold one may-be afflict d with, one does not lose one's taste for sugar, salt or quinine. These sub stances have no smell, but appeal directly to the sense of taste. If one of them be placed on the tongue the sensation of sweetness, salt-. Iness or bitterness is at once experi enced. It is, however, worth noting that all these substances must be dis solved in water, or by the moisture of the mouth, before they give any sen sation of taste. If you put a grain or two of sugar Into your mouth and allow it to dis- solve slowly its taste is only faintly, perceptible. If, on the contrary, you rub the dissolving sugar into the palate by moving the tongue the taste is greatly intensified. Sugar appeals to the mucous membrane of a large .por tion of the mouth, as also does salt. This Is why one smacks one's lips in endeavoring to fully appreciate a novel taste. , . Just as different parts of our brain are the seats of various mental pow-. ers, so various portions of the mouth receive different kinds of tastes. Sugar and kindred substances, and also pure ly acid foods or drinks appeal to the. tip of the tongue and the front part of the mouths Smell is a far more delicate sense than taste. As already mentioned, most substances must be moistened before, appealing to taste. But in order to smell a substance it must be in the form of vapor. If eau de cologne be poured into the nose it gives rise to no sense of odor whatsoever. Yet we all know how powerful is the sensation of smell produced when the little parti cles constantly disengaging themselves from its surface are borne by the air ;to the olfactory nerves. The i.ose is ; fitted to perceive sensations from par ! tides of almost inconceivable sniall ness. - - - - A single grain of musk will scent a room for years, and as this result can only he. produced by continual loss of particles of its substances these par ticles must be tiny' beyond the reach of Imagination. The smelling region of the nose lies tn its upper part The nose has three regions, and it is in the third that the seat of the sense is concentrated. The mucous membrane of the nose at this point la much thicker than below and is not red, but colored with a brown pigment ' Men are possessed of more, acute powers of smell than women.1 Experi ments to prove this were made by Profs. Nicholls and Browne. Three of the men could detect prussic" acid in a solution composed of 2,000,000 parts of water and one of acid, but not one of the women could detect the scent of the prussic acid when the solution was weaker than the one part in 20,000 of water. v 1 Got Beyond That One of the principal stockholders in a promising gold-mine was expatiating on Its merits to a capitalist, and pros pective investor.
