AN UNDISCOVERED SENSE.

In q certain printing office in this
city, there is compositor who is
deaf and dumb. In the same print
ing Office there are two other COM
posltors who are endowed with the
power Of evolving tremendous
sneezes when the spirit tic!zles their
noses. One of them is a little, short.
chubby fellow, with a round. red
face. The grandeur of his sneeze
is so utterly disproportionate to the
diminutive size OF his body, that his
fellow printers refer to it as wrong
font sneeze.' The other is 4 tall,
raw-boned Yankee, who sneezes in
the good old down-east fashion.
Neither Of the two composltnrs Who
sneeze works IN the same alley with
the compositor who is deaf and dumb,
and the cases between them are SO
arranged that he cannot see either Of
them. Nevertheless, when either of
them sneezes he always jumps as
though cannon hall were fred into
his ear. OF course, he cannot hea:
the noise. The question fer the
scientists is: How does he know
just when to Jump Boston Globe.

this pursuit. and asked him to bring
beetles and butterflies and caterpil-
