The absent-minded man and his um
brella continue to promote the gaiety
of nations. 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.

Wheeling, W. Va., May 28, 1903.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins., My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Tinder this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. It. took
only a short while for the medicine to en
tirely cure np the sores, and I am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some 12
years have elapsed since what I have de
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefitted by its use I can heartily recom
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

MAN'S NASAL ORGAN.
Borne. Curiona Facta and Instances
About Senses of Taste and Smell.
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
