The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-08-18

The hop growers Of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying to make farmers under
stand-that skunks, instead Of being
their enemies, as they formerly supposed
are among their most useful friendR AS
one hop grower expressedit, Nowadays
we protect skunks as carefully as we do
song birds.
Hop yards, it appears, are infested by
certain kind Of grub which gnaws off
the tender vines at the root. and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
AS general thing the skunks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then they
are to be seen at work in broad daylight.
The proceeding is an interesting one to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest on the edge
of the yard, where he cocks his head over
hill of hops and listens. If a grub is
at work upon one Of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. At
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover the grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing proceeds to the next hill. And
so he goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, they have become compare
lively fearless, Sometimes, we are told,
they keep up their operations even while
the cultivator is driven between the
rows.-Cor. New York Tribune.

Savages are not very well off for numer-
ais, and their knowledge Of arithmetic is
exceedingly limited. Very few savage na-
tons have distinctive words for any higher
number than four-some do not go higher
than two-all higher numbers being in
cluded in the term ''manynor ''innumera-
bic" Some nations can count beyond four,
but they have no word to denote "fvc" and
therefore they use the same word for five
as they use for "handp For "six, y then,
they would say zone hand and one;" for
ten" they would say two hands" Those
who count beyond ten" make Use of the
"toes," aud for eleven say "two hands
and one toe, and twenty" should be two
hands and two feet" or zone man. n--Chi-

Silk worms are not the sole source Of
the production Of silk; it is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
ton. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer 6bers Of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing in tropical countries from it's
lightness and porosity. Another form Of
silk is obtained from the pods Of the silk
cotton tree, of which there are several
varieties in existence, the material OBJ
tanned from them being known as vege-
table silk. Brooklyn Eagle

Jolly little Fanny Rice will no doubt
be greeted by a large and fashionable
audience at the Opera House tonight,
and it is safe to assert that those who
attend will agree that her entertain
uent in its present state is better than
ever before. Miss Rice does not need
any introduction to the amusement
loving public, as she is well known to
theatTe-goers here. Her three years
engagement at the New York Casino,
her three years as prima donna of the
Carleton Opera Company and her three
years as successful star comprise a
record of which less ambitious wo-
man might be proud. Miss Rice is one
Of the most magnetic actresses on the
stage to-day; she has been bountifuIly
gifted by nature, possessing hand
some face and beautiful figure, sweet
soprano voice and style that is charm
ing to the beholder.

A. the Fourth Street NJ. L. church
last evening Hon. G. W. Atkinson de-
Iivered his second lecture on the sub
.,rt OF Psychology. The attendance
was large.
He started OH lengthy discussion OF
various branches OF the subject BY
stating that it is the prerogaiiye OF
Psychology to consider matter. only so
far as it is connected with soul or spirit.
He then defined the cerebro.spinal sys-
tam. which embraces the brain, the
spinal cord and the nerves proceeding
from them. The brain, which is the
rrcat centre OF nervous force, eXerts
itself from within, and is affected or
moved By agencies from without,
through nerves that have their origin
INIT, or in the spinal cord intimately
associated with it. he then defined
tho nerve tibres, and showed their init
mate relation TO tho mind and soul.
lie discussed at great length the rela-
ton OF mind to matter, and stated that
the tendency is to presume the soul
manifestations are attributable to some
substance or agent, and may therefore
he explained by some material law, or
illustrated by material analogies. He
admitted that if there were no differ
enre between soul and spirit, tie claims
Of the materialist might be tenable;
but inasmuch as the materiaiist denies
the existence OF spirit and resolves the
soul into matter, and thus places it on
the same footing with bodily organism,
he could not and would not accept their
doctrine. The speaker then took up
the separate claims OF the materialists
and refuted them, one BY one, and gave
tive apparently conclusive arguments
why they were wrong in their claims.
lie discussed at some length the quail
ties, characteristics, extension and
forces OF matter, and showed that they
had no influence or control over spirit.
The speaker next took up what he
termed the objective and subjective
methods OF studying the soul. The
former is the indirect or external way OF
studying mental phenomena, whilo the
latter is the direct or internal way.
The speaker closed his entertaining
and instructive discourse by fifteen
minutes talk on consciousness. He
gave the definitions of this term as laid
down by about fifteen or twenty differ.
ent authors, and showed that all oil
them in every essential respect agreed
with the easily understood definition OF
Sir William Hamilton, which is as fol-
lows: consciousness is the knowing
that know. That Is to say, know u
thing, and know that | know it."
The lecture was carefully listened to
from beginning to end.
