casually, waiting for the usual out

space to authentic instances, proving
that in the words Of the author, "the
road to success Is TO have a white

individual cases in support Of his
somewhat bitter deduction, one Of the
most striking being the experience OF
a graduate Of the University Of Penn

This young colored man took a
course ia mechanical engineering, was
an apt student, was well recommend
ed and by reason Of his excellent rec
ord obtained a situation through an adj

NAMED only a few hours and was then
discharged for the simple reason that
his skin was not white, The expert

Of Liou-Chek, there is a mountain Of
alum which, in addition to being a nat

mountain is not less than ten miles in
circumference at its base and has a
height Of 1910 feet. The alum is OBJ
tanned by Quarrying large blocks Of
stone, which are first heated in great

The blood normally contains stimu-
ldnts, and that these stimulants exer-
else a favoring influence on function
and conduce to and may even be a nee
essary factor in the production of the
feeling Of well being explains the wide
spread liking in man and beast for
stimulating substances This liking,
amounting often to a craving, is the
expression Of a great physiological
principle When health is perfect,
when the blood is well provided with
it's proper s6mulants and not over
charged with depressants, there is no
craving for extraneous stimulants, such
as alcohol, tea or coffee, but when the
blood is defective In the one or sur
charged with the other then is felt the
desire for the glass of wine or the cup
Of tea.
In order TO obviate this desire the
body should be kept at the highest lev
ell Of health. The more perfect the
health the more perfect will be the
composition Of the blood in respect to
both physiological stimulants and dele
terious toxins. A blood properly con-
stituted I'm these and other respects

THE HIGHEST SENSE.
A Scientist Says That 1t Is That Of
Sight

wish to call especial attention to
the fact that it is only late in the his
tory Of the race that language has
passed 10 its written fern. Man is
indeed now a reading and writing an
iJnal, but only recently has he be-
come so. 1t is only since the inyen-
tior Of printing and the dissemina-
tior Of books, magazines and newspa-
pers that reading has become q real
determining factor in the life Of the
people, Even now the human organ
ism is engaged in adapting itself to
the new strain brought upon the eyes
and fingers in reading and writing.
We can understand, therefore, that it
will demand considerable maturity
in the child before he is ready for that
which has developed 50 late in the his
tory of the race. The language of the
child, ike that Of primitive man, is
the language OF the ear and tongue.
The child is talking and hearing
animal. he is ear-minded. There
has been in the history of civilization
a steady development toward the
preponderating use of the higher
senses, eliminating with the eye.
The average adult civilized man is
now strongly eye-minded, but it is
necessary only to go back to the time
of the ancient Greeks to find a decided
relative ear-mindedness. Few labora-
tory researches have been made upon
the relative rapidity of development
of the special senses in children, but
such as have been made tend to con-
firm the indications of the Couture
epochs" theory, and to show that the
auditory centers develop earlier than
the visual.-Prof. G. T. W. Patrick,
in Popular Science Monthly.

QUEER ENGLISH PETS.
Weird Creatures from Prairie and Jungle
That Have Been Tanned


In the ordinary course'of things
wolves are not regarded as desirable
household pets; but in the neighbor-
hood Of Regents park, appropriately
enough, there is one often to be seen
taking its walks abroad, securely muz-
zled, and in the charge OF either lady
or a gentleman.
A Daily Mail representative called
the attention of Mr.. Albert E. jam
rach, the naturalist, OF st. George
street, f., to the fact, and asked him
whether keeping wild animals as pets
was coming at all into vogue. Hisre-
ply was that while wolves were not
popular pets among ladies, there were
some very weird creatures from the
desert, or the prairie, or the jungle
that nowadays found their way into
household.
Several instances were given. As a
rule, be said, ladies prefer small ami
mails as pets a very popular pet is
the coatimundi, which is sometimes
known as an ant-eater. It's home is in
South America, and it very quickly
becomes tame. 1t is about. the size
of badger, and can be safely kept in
the house, or it can be allowed to frol-
ic about in the garden if there are not
any flowers in the way.
The suricate, which comes from
South America, very readily submits
to a quiet domestic life. The late
Frank auckland always kept two
specimens in his room. The suricate
is carnivorous animal, about as large
as ferret, and is great favorite with
Zulas and Kaffirs, who almost wor-
ship it.
Lately there has been a great de
mand for the mongoose, curious lit
tie animal which is introduced in one
Of Rudysrd KipGng's famous jungle
tales. The mongoose, which NO doubt
owes it's popularity to Kipling, has
rather q fiery spirit, and is useful as
a rst-catcher, but it can be remark
ably tame, and then it finds warm
place in the heartsof lady admirers.
Up to a few years ago the hnka-
jou, q native Of South America, had
a prominent place in English homes,
but it ran away before the advance of
the railway engine, and is now run
ming wild in inaccessible parts OF the
great southern continent. Formerly
the kinkajou, which has very pre-
hensile tail, was seen in many houses,
but it is now rarely seen. THERE'S one
in the zoologicl gardens, and the keep
er proudly points it out to ladies, who
at once fall in love with it. Among
animals other than dogs which ladies
keep as pets are large squirrels, Aus
traGan opossums and kangaroos.
Birds as pets have gone almost out
of fashion, and there Is now scarcely
any demand for them. In the old
days, well-stocked aviaries were to be
seen in nearly every lady's house, but
the poor birds have been forsaken
since the advent of bicycles, and they
are scarcely ever inquired for now.
At the present time toe most pop
ular bird is the orange-fanked para
keet, which is delightfully."- tame, one
Of its principal recommendations be-
ing that it willingly takes its food
while perched on lady's finger

POISON IN CLOTHES.
Death Has Resulted from the Zinc Chlor-
ide in 0vercoats.

ide in 0vercoats.
Many cases Of poisoning have been
reported in England, the trouble be-
ing caused by the presence of zinc
chloride in the cloth overcoats of the
victims. The poison was absorbed on
wet days, and caused pain of severe
description.
One hesitates somewhat to refer to
this new trouble, for it has sometimes
seemed as though the number of
things to be afraid of multiply daily.
The agitation Of some minds over pos
sible microbes is not easily described.
Milk is regarded with suspicion,
water without label is Stunned,
pins are scrubbed, and money disin-
fected. No one has thought before Of
looking after uncut cloth. One com
fort arises from the contemplation Of
this new source of danger. The man
ufacturer, threatened with ruin, will
find some way Of substituting another
chemical for the one which has
proved itself SO dangerous. He did
this with red dyes of fannels, which
poison so many. And he found some
other way Of making green wall paper
than by using arsenic in his colors.
He has made black stockings possible

tidiousof us, and ne is not likelyto be
delinquent in discovering another
remedy with which to meet the pres
