According to a well-known teacher of singing in this eity, who is en- | deavoring to make his pupils live up to | the new rule, the experiments, which were primarily undertaken at the request of cries. ¥, the teachers, have proved that all strong perfumes are injurious membranes of the throat.

WILSON WHISKEY. That’s All} fume, secording to the experiments made with the laryngoscope, is, perhaps, tile most injurious of all, and the wearin® of bunches of these simple and proverbially modest flowers hias been strictly forbidden to all who are anxious to cultivate their voices. Prima donnas and other operatic singers have been cautfoned concerning the dan- gers that lurk hidden in their corsage bouquets, and it is probable that they will no longer show their appreciation of thc magnificent floral tributes which ardent admirers delight in showering upon them, by ostentatiously nestling their faces among the dainty blossoms and assuming an air of ecstatic bliss. Afrer all, to a'layman, to whom the dis- covery was expounded, it really did not seem sp startling. and as usual, in fact, the wonder is that no one ever thought it out before. For if is well known that the sense of smell depends for its appreciation upon the tickling effect produced by the deposit upon the delicate membranes of the nose of infinitesimally minute parti- cles thrown off by the odoriferous object. Some substances smell not at all. That is because they either throw off no*such particles, or because the particles which they do emit are not of a nature to affect the olfactory membranes. Among flowers this is the case particu- larly. Some have no odor; they fall into the class of substances just described. The smell of others is unpleasant because they throw off particles which are ob- noxious to the membranes, and the latter rebel. The so-called fragrant flowers, notably the rose, the violet and the carna- tion, literally tickle the olfactory mem- branes to a sense of pleasure and enjoy- ment, though it i8 worthy of note that some persons abhor the scent of certain flowers that to the majority of mankind seem deliciously fragrant. If, then, these odoriferous particles have such a lively action upon the nasal membranes it cer- tainly does not appear strange that when inhaled, as they must be at times, they should have an injurious effect upon the membranes of the throat, which are at least as sensitive as those of the nase.. Tt requires no great stretch of the imagi- nation to conceive that the inhaling of perfumes, therefore, might seriously in- terfere with an operatic singer's powers, which are so keenly dependent upon the perfect condition of the laryngeal mem- branes.—New York Sun. THE REAL HOME OF THE SILVER DOLLAR Convenient Paper Currency Seldom Seen Beyond the Chi- cago. The home of the silver dollar is the | West. An Eastern tenderfoot can always | be picked out in a Western town by his look of surprise or annoyance on taking a handful of silver dollars in change. Out in the wheat section a country merchant carefully scrutinizes a silver certificate to see if it is real money. As a matter of curiogity I once searched an Oklahoma town for a §2 silver certificate. 1 discov- ered one finally in a drugstore. It wasa very dirty plece of money, and the shop- keeper was glad to get rid of it for two silver dollars. All'the way from Chicage westward to the coast the sliver dollar is the evervday coin of the people. No one can blame a Westerner for preferring bright silver dol- lars to the torn, dirty paper money that circulates beyond the Mississippl. But as the West comes more in touch with the East siiver dollars are bound to disappear /| gradually from circulation. ‘When it is considered how common is the use of silver dollars in the West the small quantity of silver in circulation is amazing. sflver dollars outstanding, and the mints are sending out 1,500,000 a month, there are only about 75,000,000 outside the treasury. The treasury vaults are glutted with them™ The space these unused silver dol- lars occupy equals a tunnel seven feet in diameter and a mile long. Of this great mass of silver $470,000,000 are held in trust against silver certificates, practically all of which in circulation.—Success. ————— Hitting a War Balloon. The dificulty in damaging a war balloon in midair was recently shown by tests made in Austria. The experimenters an- chored a balloon at a height of 7000 feet and had gunners who had not been given the distance try to disable it. It required twenty-two shots to find the range, even approximately, and not until the sixty- fourth round was the balloon hit. It then sustained but a slight tear, which caused it to descend.

Said he: When 1 heard the first shot I saw Ewen pitch out of the door and run. I then saw Marcum fall. 1 saw Judge Blanton approach the wounded man. 1 saw Curtiss Jett ap- proaching the scene of the tragedy. Hargis swore he did not know who killed Marcum. Sheriff Callahan testified that when Marcum was killed he saw Ewen jump out of the door and run and Marcum | stagger and fall. He saw Jett near the Courthouse walk, at the corner. He said he saw some one in the hallway of the Courthouse, but could not tell who it was. He dld not see White come out of the door, but sav him across the street when the shots were fired. James Backs, for the defense, testified that he expected to get pay for testify- ing. —_——— Sheep and Cattle Perish.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., June 16— The University of Virginia to-day enter- tained the President of the United States, and right royally the students of this his- toric seat of learning performed their duty as hosts. The occasion of the Presi- dent’'s visit was to attend the sevent inth.commencement of the university, | which oceurs to-day. Rcosevelt is the third President to visit the university of | which Thomas’ Jefferson, whose remains | lfe quite close to the college he loved, was the founder. President Hayes and Pr | dent ‘Cleveland have enjoyed the hospi- tality of this truly Southern institution, and the warm welcomes they received was_duplicated in the greeting extended to President Roosevelt to-day. The President's special arrived here | | from Washington at 11:3) this morning. | The Monticello Guards were on duty at | the depot and kept back the crowd that assembled to see the distinguished guest | The President was cheered as he stepped from his car. He was met by Dr. Paul | Barringer, chairman of the day's exer- cises, and a committee of alumni. The party was driven direct to the university, where the exercises were held in the pub- lic hall. Judge Morris in a short speech | of welcome introduced the President. After the applause had subsided the | President delivered his address. He said | it was a double pleasure for hlm to be | present. “In_the first place,” he said, “because the University of Virginia is one among | the limited number of institutions of learning to which, because of its histor- ical association, every American proud of | his history must turn; in the next piace, | because I have just finished a trip across this continent which at almost every stop reminded me of some great deed done by a Virginian or a descendant of a Virgin- ian in that wonderful formative period which has occupled more than half of | this republie’s work.” | The President spoke of the work of the | learl_v Virginians and paid a tribute to | Lewls and Clark, the valor of Taylor, | Winfleld Scott Keys and other natives of | | the State who have figured prominently. ““Virginia has a right to be proud,” he | | said, “‘of the chief public men whom she | | has sent into public life.”” He sald he had called upon a number of Virginia men to fill public offices and they had never fafled him. The Presi- dent closed his address with a few re- marks on the duties of good citizenship as applied more particularly to the col- lege man and said every man should be honest to his alma mater and work his hardest to make a place for himself in the world. After luncheon the party visited Mon- ticello, the home of Jefferson, where they were entertained by Jefferson M. Levy of New York, who now owns the piace. President and Mrs. Roosevelt rode through on horseback and other mem- bers of the party went in carriages. The for Washington. —_———— May Divert Fourth of July Fund.
