The Use Of Whiskers 10 a Cat.

The sense which of all others is most
deiicien, in the cat is that oi smell. In
this she differs most markedly from the
dog. 1t is said that piece of meat may
be placed in close proximity TO u cat,
but that ii it is kept covered up, she will
fail to distinguish it. This want is, how
ever, partly compensated for by an ex-
tremely delicate sense of touch, which is
possessed, to a remarkable extent, by the
whiskers, or vibrissG, as we'll as by the
general surface of the skin. These bris-
ties are possessed to greater or less
extent by all cats, and are simply greatly
developed hairs, having enormously
swollen roots, covered with layer of mus
cular fibres, with which delicate nerves are
connected. BY means of these latter, the
slightest touch on the extremity of the
whiskers is instantly transmitted to the
brain. These organs are of the greatest
possible value to the cat in its nocturnal
campaigns. When 1t is deprived of the
guidance afforded by light, it makes its
way by the sense Of touch, the fine wills
kers touching against every object the cat
passes, and thus acting in precisely the
though with infinitely greater sensibility.
Imagine blind man with not one stick,
but a couple Of dozen, Of exquisite fine
ness, and these not held in his hand, but
embedded in his skin, so that his nerves
come in direct contact with them instead
of having layer of skin between. and
some notion may be formed of the way
in which u cat uses its whiskers.

A River and Its Dead.
The Colorado river is noted for 'sv

The Colorado river is noted for ''swirls,"
SO called. They occur every where, but
only at high stages of water. A bubble
rises from the bottom and breaks with a
slight sound on the surface. The water
ut the point begins rotary motion, so
small that an inverted tea-cup might
cover it. Larger and larger grows the
circle, till u surface of forty feet in diam
cteris in motion, spinning round fun
nel-shaped hole in the centre, two or three
feet across the top, and coming to point
in the depths below. Often large tree
floating down the stream is caught, and
its foremost end thrust up into the air
twenty or thirty feet, while the other
passes underneath-thc exposed end to
be slowly drawn down again, and to dis
appear. Three soldiers, deserters from
Camp Mohave, passing through the ravine
in a skiff, Immediately below the fork,
suffered their craft to run into a swirl.
One of the crew, at the first intimation of
danger, threw himself overheard beyond
the charmed circle, and as he swan away
he turned his head and saw the boat spin
round until one end being drawn into
the vortex and the other upheaved in the
air, it slowly sunk rs it revolved into the
turbid hos, IN of the river, its human
freight to be seen no more, for the Col
orado river does not give up the dead
no corpses lodge upon its shores.

Christmas.

Before another TELEG EAPlI is
issued, Christmas will come, and we
hope it will prove a merry Christmas
to all our readers.
The little folks take, generally, the
greatest interest in the Christmas hol-
idays, and we shall not withhold a
kind wish for them ell. GOD bless
them!
But old folks, having no Santa Claus
to bring them nuts, dolls and fruit,
must be remembered. They need a
Christmas. And SO we say to the
Old People, GOD bless you, too!

Pretty and Young

In every feature but the hair, which had
grown white from fever. This lady Mt 30
writes us: "I haye used Parker's Hair
Balsam six months and am moro than
pleased with it. It has restored the natural
brown color of my hair and given it a silky
softness, nicer than ever before. There is
no dandruf, no falling hair, and it leaves
the scalp so clean and nice and cool that 1
am ever so much pleased, and feel and
look like myself again." Disinfectant pro-
perties that enter chemically into this pre-
paration render it healing, cleansing and
healthful, and the beautiful, fresh and Wig
orous hair it produces, together with it's
youthful color, leaving the head entirely
freed from dandruff, clean and healthy,
surprises no less than it pleases. Buy n
bottle from George w. McFee and test it's
merits.
