DO Negroes Blush?

Blushing has often been considered
as peculiarly Of the white man, and
has been denied to other races, and es-
pecially to the negro; but several trust
worthy observers assured Darwin that
they had seen on the faces of negroes
an appearance resembling blush un-
der circumstances which would have
excited one In us, although their skins
were of an ebony-black tint. Some de-
scribe 1t as blushing brown, but most
say that the blackness becomes more
intense. An Increased supply of blood
In the skin seems In some manner 70
Intensity the blackness. Scars remain
for long time white In the negro and
DIR. Burgess, who had frequent oppor-
tunlties of observing one on the face of
a negress, noticed that 1t invariably he
came red whenever she was abruntIv
spoken to or charged with any trivial
onense. The blush could be seen pro-
ceedlng from the circumference of the
scar towards the middle. Mulattoes
are often great blushers. From these
facts there can be no doubt that ne
groes blush, though no reddening of
their skins is visible.

Muskrat meat, Pennsylvanians along

to be taken, however, not to break the
bag Of musk-a pouch the size of a wal
nut, filed with a highly perfumed
white paste and located In the intes-

rate the flesh with musky odor. and 1t
