The young people of Lewiston, Me., have
a new scheme for entertainment. At a
gathering the other night a smelling contest
was the thing that male the most fun, ac-
cording to The Journal. 'There had been ob-
tained from a local druggist eight bottles
containing as many different liquids of did-
ferent *dors, all csunmon but one, and each
number -dl on the cork,. The game was to
smell of these and identify them, and write
the deciatou opposite numbers of a earl.
Now, it is • well-known fact to those who
Neve studied the natter that the sense of
smell fs the most deceptive of all the senses,
for the reason that after smellier of three
thiags in quick succession the nom refuses
to do duty with most people, cif beyond
that everything is mixed and confused. A
young lady and gentleman each identified
waren out of eight of them ; nine more
identified all but two. Itmt generally the
things written down were wide of the mark.
Bisulphide of carbon the only uncommon
one proved a sticker. It was written
down as extract onions, nil of brimstone,
laudanum, boiled cabbage and white row.
The contest was the funniest kind of
fun.
