The senses of smelling, tasting and even of
feeling or touch, are liable to innnmerable eau
ses Of deception. 1t is mentioned in the Muse
um of Art and Science, that if two fingers of
the same hand, being crossed, be placed upon
table, and marble or pea rolled between them,
the impression will be, if the eyes are closed,
that two marbles or peas are touched If the
nose be pinched, and cinnamon be tasted, it will
taste like a common stick of DEAL Many sub
stances lose their flavor when the nostrils are
stopped. Nurses, therefore, upon right and SCI
entitic principles stop the nose of children when
they give them doses of disagreeable medicine.
If the eye be blindfoded,and buttermilk and clar-
er be alternately tasted, the person tasting them
after few repetitions of the process will be un-
able to distinguish one from the other.

WORSE THAN THAT.-On Sunday last, a stran-
ger dropped into the Morse Telegraph Office,
and enquired of one of the operators If he could
have dispatch sent to certain point. He was
politely informed that it was not the custom Of
the Office to transmit messages on the Sabbath,
unless they related to sickness or death, and that
il his belonged to that class, 1t could be sent at
o'clock.
sickness death p said the applicant-"It
is enough sight worse than that"
The operator not being aware of any calamity
which might justly be considered more grievous,
yentured to enquire the nature of the communi-
cation which he desired to send.
"Why, my friend" was the reply I'm dead
broke" 49,
! No wonder the operator roared, and declined
sending the message. Buffalo Express.
