The Little Rev(-uuc*i,
l’he little revenue’s on deck,
Awhile it’s come to stay,
For Uncle Hum’s a funny chap,
And bound to have his way;
l'lie trouble started, as you know,
When they blew up the Main,
\nd when you’re licking revenues,
You get a crack at Spain.
What pretty little stamps to-day
We’re licking- near and far,
They give to ( ncJe Sam the stuff
To carry on the war;
Tis said that little mighty grains plain of sand
Make up the ;
Therefore, each revenue you lick,
Is one straight shot at Spain.
The revenues build battleships blue,
And pay the boys in
They man our monsters of the deep
With many a yankee big shells crew; through
They send the
the air
To battle’s harsh refrain,
So when you lick the colored stamps,
You’re-also licking Spain.
Don’t grumble when you lick your
stamps, hot, be calm,
'l’he weather’s
For not a person should object
To helping Uncle Ham;
Remember this ,’tis easy quite,
1 make the point again,
That while you’re licking revenues
You’re also licking- Spain.

— Here is a description of a
novel contest which is said to
have taken place at a social
i i function” ih. Hartford, Conn.
Twelve vials were filled with
liquids of a uniform red color,
but of different odors. The test
was for each guest to name the
odors and write the names on a
card. The odors chosen were
familiar, such as witch hazel.
cologne, wintergreen, peunyroy
,oso > lemon and the like,
and it would he supposed that
there would belittle or no dif
ficulty in identifying them:
but the task was not so easy af¬
ter ali, for the reason that the
stronger odor seemed to dull the
sense of smell as to the more
delicate ones. Borne of the mis
takes were very amusing. The
highest score, i l out of 12, was
made by one of tho gentlemen,
were better than those, of the
ladies- A curious fact was that
a vial was wrongly guessed by
all the ladies and was identifi¬
ed as water by only two of the
gentlemen.
