There can be no doubt about that. One train cannot run into another with terrific speed, on a*straight unobstructed track and on a clear night without someone being to blame, It is useless and it would be unjust to charge any one with this carelessness until a thorough investigation shall have determined the real responsibility. But while the accident undoubtedly resultéd because “someone had blundered,” yet it was due, undoubtedly, to the fallibility of man. As long as men handle trains just"so long will errors of judgment occur and accidents results, No matter how perfect machinery be made, if it depend on human control it can be no more perfect than the brain that controls it. #4444444 486 CHRISTMAS GIFTS. ITH the advent of Christmas comes the season for presents and gifts among relatives and friends. Enterprising storekeepers have anticipated all requirements and desires, and by their displays of bright and beautiful goods hope to realize the fancy of the most fastidious and reach the purse of the wealthiest present-makers. The origin of gift-mmaking at Christmas time is hidden in mystery. No one seems to know precisely at what period of the world’s history it began. As thereare millions and millions of gifts bestowed, and consequently millions of people who are enriched in this way, at least once a year, and since, besides, the custom is grateful to three-fourths of the human family, it makes but little difference when it originated, and most people will say at once that. it ought never to end. The ‘custom no doubt took its rise in the East, and its immediate connection with Christmas links it probably with the journey of the wise men from the Orient who came with gifts to acknowledge the birth of the Saviour. Whatever beginning, however, this custom may have had, matters little. Time sanctions it. The world approves it with a laugh anda cheer. Children are made better for six months by the promise of its coming realities, and stimulated to keep up their good behavior for six months afterwards by the harmless lie that Santa Claus is still living in his rich castle somewhere and raking up new parcels to put in their stockings, if they only behave themselves until his next annual visitation. “Christmas comes but once a year, and when it does it brings good cheer.” This is an old saying containing more than one grain of truth. Gifts, and gift-making and taking, as one of the fruits of Christmas, stimulate business. The holiday trade is looked forward to by merchants everywhere as a period, not only to recover losses, but as a time to build up a substantial trade to help them throughout the year. . The cheer that comes with gifts and Christmas is a bond which helps to unite men in stronger friendship and knit them more closely together both in the interests of business and commercial relations and in the social and more pleasant, yet none the less necssary, intimacy of family friendships. Thus it happens that gifts are very useful adjuncts in more ways than one once a year—about the 25th of Decem-. ber. Of course everybody expects to get preseuts, and a good many will be necessarily disappointed. Under these circumstances we know of nothing better than to say nothing to anyone of what anyone expects before Christmas and. nothing when the day is over, if an empty stocking hangs by the fire-place. To make presents judicious depends upon taste and tact. Long purses sometimes go for nothing. A rich library to a four-year-old, for instance, would not be quite as welcome as a hobby-horse, a doll ora drum. Most young ladies would rather have a diamond ring or a necklace than a wash-tub or a ten-dollar second-hand sewing machine, and so on, ad infinitum. Good taste, judgment, tact, money, thought, policy, all these are guides, and each one must determine for himself what is best to do when he starts out to make his purchases of Christmas gifts.

A series of solutions of five different substances was prepared, each series being so ar ranged that every solution was of halt the strength of the preceding one These series were extended by suc cessive dilutions till it was impossible to detect the odors. The order of the bottles containing these solutions wai completely disarranged, and the tea consisted in the attempt to classify them by the seess of smell alone. An equal number of male and female observers were selected from the best apothecaries’ shops, and each was re quired to arrange the bottles. The males were able to detect the smell of the nitrate of amyl in the solution of 1 part to 783,000 of water, and the females were able to detect it in the solution of 1 part to 811,000 of water. The oil of wintergreen was detected in about the same proportion and to the same extent of dilution. There was, therefore, a very great preponderance in favor of the males at to the sensitiveness and discriminatios of the sense of smell. This is certainly an astounding fact.~<Srestgrrwetor Rings Knew, What to Do With It. A miserly landlord was going round collecting his rents the other day. At one house he was greatly interested in a little girl who watched, open mouthed and open eyed, the business of paying over the nioney and accepting the receipt. He patted her on the head and started out to search his pockets, saying, “I must see what I have got for you.” After searching his pockets for some time he at last brought from a remote eorner a peppermint. As he handed it to the girl he said, “And now what wil! you do with that?’ The little girl looked at it, then at bim and replied, ‘“Wash it.’—Londou Auswers. Her Opinion of Asparagas. It seems that asparagus is not grown {pn the tropics—at least it was not grown at Rio de Janeiro. when a certain Amerjean gentleman, who had lived several years in the Brazilian capital, went with his wife and 8-year-old daughter to visit friends living near Buenos Ayres, a part of the continent where the climate is better adapted to the fruits and vegetables of the temperate regions. At the first dinner after their arrival the visitors were treated to some fresh asparagus. The little 8-year-old daughter was: likewise served with the asPparagus, but she evidently did not think much of it as-an article of food. Her mother tried for some time to coax her to eat It. Finally the little girl, taken between the rudeness of whispering at the table and the rudeness of not eating her food, leaned over and, with a choking. voice and -quivering Hp, whispered to her mother: “Mamma, it is not nice.
