Among.the curious recent
Inventions is a machine which will
take a liquid, that has heretofore
been regarded as odorlessand.distill
therefrom themoat delicate per
fume. ANJrop^of perfumery dr es
sence placed'oil the receiver will, on
applying the nostril to the nosepiece'
or opening, .produce an overpower
ing stench that would in a very
short time, if continued, cause symp
toms of suffocation. The instrument
can be utilized in nearly every walk
of life. To the grocer it will prove
ipvaluable in detecting adulteration
6f goods. The chemist, druggist and
physician, of course, can find ready
use for it in their business, while it
has been suggested, that bank paper
can be tinctured with a special odor
imperceptible to the ordinary sense
of smell, but which could readily be
detected by the scentograph, thus'
greatly lessening the liability of
banks to fraudulent operators. It is
also claimed for the machine that it.
will become popular in the homes
of the weAlthy, for by the aid of its
mechanism the atmosphere of a
large mansion can be kept constant
ly penneated with a most delioate
and choioe perfume at a nominal ex
pense. For hospitals and sickrooms
its services will prove inestimable.
The machine itself is a small affair,
about 13 inches square and 8 inches
high. It is made of wood, and the
opening where the nostrils are ap
plied is nickel plated. Chicago

Services for "men only' are now
very common .in the' jLondon
churches. Why for Mn&n only,"the
London Telegraph observes,' is not
quite apparent, except on the princi
ple of an east ender's opinion of
them, "I don't mind being lectured
by .a parson so long as my old wom
an ain't -abotit to 'e«r it." One cler
gyman in a ohuroh neai» Brixton hit
upon' a 'shrewd' devloe fop ''draw
ing' a Congregation' recently. The
service was advertised for "men
only,'' and thie hill bore the ominous
words, "LajUes admitted. Needless
to say, curiosity led to a large at

to know something' of1the dootrine
