A Touching Scene.

"There was a pathetic scene on train
on the Western Division of the Erie, the
other day." said conductor on that road
to Sun reporter. "A woman board
ed the train at Orlean. She carried in her
arms baby but few weeks old. 1t was
very cross and peevish. and defied all of
nurses efforts to keep it quiet. Its cries
were at times so loud and piercing that
the other passengers could not hide their
annoyance, and after while audible ex-
pressions of their feeling came from all
parts of the car The woman was patient
under the double trial of the child's
troublesomeness and the evident knowl-
edge of the annoyance it was to her fell
low passengers. She talked soothlngly
to the child. placed it in all positions, and
tried to arrange its wrappings as to, in a
measure, deaden the sound of its cries.
Finally. some one in the car whose impa-
tience had got the better of his sympathy,
shouted OUT If that child can't be kept
quiet, hope it may be removed from the
car at the next station
This unfeeling remark seemed to meet
with general approval, and the poor wo-
mans eyes filled with tears. and in attempt
ing to speak her feelings overcame her,
and she pressed the baby closely to her
and sobbed violently. She soon recovered
herself, and re-doubled her efforts to keep
the child quiet. For short time she sue
ceeded somewhat. but presently the cries
of the baby were as loud and prolonged
as ever. At last, a man arose and said,
sharply
Madam, it seems to me that the moth

The train had now stopped at Salamanca.
At the remark of the second speaker the
woman arose in her seat, and facing the
car full of passengers. said in voice
trembling: 81 am not this poor things

and believe it hasn't living relative.
Its father was killed on the railroad a
week before it was born. Its mother, liv.
ing in distant place. hurried to the scene
of her husbands death. The child was
born among strangers, and day before
yesterday the mother died, leaving her
little one with no one to care for it.

the poor little thing. and to go with the
dead woman's remains to her native place.
Her body is in this train. | am sorry the
child is so troublesome, but isn't it entitled
to some little sympathy?"
The effect of the woman's words NAV
be imagined. There were few dry ewes
in the car when she dropped, sobbing, in
to her seat All selfshness was lost in
sympathetic thoughts OF the desolate little
wanderer. and a score of hands that a
moment before were almost willing to
raise in chastisement of the babe were
now anxious to extend aid to it and Its
self-sacrifcing guardian. 1t was touch

ORIGIN Of Musk.

One of the most common perfumes is
that of musk, which occurs in both the
animal and vegetable kingdoms. Every
hodv ia familiar with the musk plant,
which grows in our gardens. and which
ladies are so fond of having in their rooms.
Rect has a musky odor, but there are two
species which grow on the slopes OF the
Himalayas. one at the great attitude OF
~ 600 feet. which smell strongly OF it.
Among animals there are musk beetle,
cuttlefish. duck, shrew, mole, rat OK and
deer. all of which owe their distinctive
title TO the fact OF their having that odor
in greater or less degree.
The musk rat, or musquash. however,
and the musk deer, are the only animals
which secrete the musky substance IN
special receptacle, from which 1t can be
readily taken as commercial commodity.
The best musk is obtained from this deer,
which is found in elevations above 5000
feet in Central Asia. from the Himalyas
to Pekin. Unlike other deer, they are
without horns, and popularity OF the
male is that it has two long and slender
teeth, which project from the upper jaw.
with an inward curve, in the form OF
tusks
The female is OF little account to its hu-
man foes, but the male is much sought
after on account of its mnsk pouch. This
is a bag about the size of small orange.
situated on the lower part of its body,
and containing from half an ounce to two
ounces of the precious perfume. In
1881, China, alone. exported 259o
pounds, valued at f41.501. or nearly
one guinea per ounce. Seven thousand
ounces are said to be exported annually
from British India, while quantities of an
inferior kind are obtained from other
countries. AS perfume, musk is re-
markable for the diffusiveness and per-
sistence of its scent; everything in its
vicinity catches and retains its Odor. For
this reason it is not desirable article OF
cargo on ships that carry anything in
tended to be used as food.
In the East it is held in great repute for
its medicinal properties, being one OF the
most powerful anti-spasmodics known.
1t owes its value to its extensive use in
perfumery. Mixed with highly volatile
vegetable scents, it gives them greater
permanence. Large quantities of it are
used in the manufacture of toilet soaps.
Of late, owing to the expensiveness of
musk, and to its being so much adulter-
ated by dealers, what is called American
musk has come into considerable use as a
substitute for the superior kind. This is
obtained from the musquash of North Am
erica, small, beaver-like rodent, millions
of which are killed annually for their
skins, which are made up into cheap furs.
The musky secretion obtained from this
creature has proved an excellent substitute
for true musk in the seeming of toilet
soaps. Ii a cake so perfumed is retained
for month. it would require very skill
full perfumer indeed to distinguish the odor
from that of the best Tonquin musk. 1t
is also used in the cheaper essences, al
though here the result is not so satisfac-
tory.
