Anima, Sense Perceptions.

In the course Of an article on ami
NAL sense perceptions, in which spe-
cial attention is directed to nauseous
or offensive odors as a means Of pro-
lection, the editor of the Zoologist
warns his readers against regarding
animal etimology too much from the
human standpoint. Because animals
can't speak, we must not assume that
they have no modes of communica-
ton; it is by no means certain that
the ordinary explanation of warning
colors is the true one, while the evil
smell of the DURAN 1rult does not rem
der it distasteful either to the orang
or to man misunderstanding Ameri'
can.

Diseases are to the body what weeds
are TO the soil. They divert the nutri-
tion which Is necessary TO sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, dragS out a sickly existence.
When the stomach is diseased, and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there Is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements of
vitality What is known as weak

and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by weak" stomach.

Waterman Shearer first discovered the
fire, which started in the Office from an

a deluge of water on the burning pier
