her any signs of affection. He had'
changed towards her on that night.
He had been pleasant and kind and
genial: he had studied all' her wishes.
He had not spoken one word to her in
anger or contempt. The brutality' that
had followed the destruction. of the
portrait had given place first to re-

Good tales of the sea come naturally
to Earl Beatty, and rine of his best
concerns a certaineofficer of the King's
navy Who ,had.for many years suffered
from chronic sore throat. At last, while
on leave in•London, he determined to
see a seecialist about it, and accord-
ingly paid a visit,to Harley Street. The
doctor he consulted, being a great be-
lieVer in simple remedies, asked hian
if he had ever tried salt -water gar-
gling. "Well," was the reply, I've been
torpedoed six times."
Scents That
Tes tremendou's craze for perfume
at tho present. time is, In a way, an
echo, of the age of -King Solomon; but
it is well to remember that not all
scents are "sweet-smelling savours."
Foreign countries abound in sinister t
scents of many and deadler kinds.
Tla ere' are 'treee Some of theth which
breathe out liaison, and woe betide the
traveller who is ignorant enough to
rest b'eneath their shade!
On the hill slopes of Chill, for ex-
ample, is a tree which the natives look
upon as being possessed of an evil,.
spirit. Many cases have occurred
where innocent travellers have crept
uncial. its branches during the heat of '
,the day, and paid Ior its shade with
their lives. After resting und.er one ,
hancle ancl face of a traveller become
swollen, as in a case of saakre-bite, and
the surface of the skin is -covered with(
'bomilsa.ny tourists in the vicinity of Val-
paraiso, have succuinbed to the in.
fiuence of this Poisonous tree.
The trumpet flower, or datura, found
in most tropical colnatries, 'although
not deadly in the open afr, is highly
dangerous in a room. Innocent people,
fascinated by its coloring and scent, .
take it indoors, and. soon fall into a
trance -like slumber, developing into a
deadly stupor, from -which they may
possibly never awaken. ,
If this trumpet flower were brought
into a sick -roam and len sthere for the
night it would mean certain. death for
the patient..Recently, in South Ameri-
ca, an accusation of murder was
brought against a family who were
said to have profited financially by the
death, in their house, of a wealthy re-
lative. Upon. investigation, it was
found that some trumpet flowers had
got mixed with a bunch of others in. a
vase, which was allowed to stay in the
house alL night, and had actually
caused the deate. of the relation.
Some orehids, with their strange ;
and powerful perfume, are capable, of
drugging the senses and causing fain.t-
ness. There are some people, too, who
cannot stand the scent Or. roses, whilst
others are prejudiced against the in-
eocent-looking violet.
It is Welt to make quite certain that
any perform° -we ease, or have in the
house, is euited to our temperament.
If the least irritation Is caused by any
scent it should at °nee be dispensed
with, however beautiful it may seern
to others. There are feav people who
do not like the eeent of clove; yet, not
long ago there was a csse in Z nazi -
bar where the •seent of clove was re.
