wonderful Sense Of Smell.

How infinitely minute must be the
particles that emanate from the OBJ
ject which the dog is tracking? Yet
matter is extremely Invisible The
tenth part of a grain Of musk will
continue for years to I'LL room with
it's odoriferous particles, and at the
end of that time will not be apprecia-
bly, diminished in weight by the finest
balance. A cubic inch of air rising
from the flame of a Bunsen burner
has been found to contain no fewer
than 4S9.O00000 dust particles. A
drop of blood which might be suspend
ed from the point of a needle con-
tains about a million of red fiattened
corpuscles. Still, though matter is so
marvelously divisible, the olfactory
nerves are infinitely more sensitive.
Much has yet TO be investigated
with regard to the differentiation OF
the points in these nerves so that they
may discriminate with such apparent
miraculous accuracy; yet even the
results in the scent of dogs show how
marvelously fine is their discriminate
ing power. Our sense of smell, un-
less in the trained chemist, is not even
so acute as that of the semi-savage.
The aborigines of Peru can, in the
darkest night and il the thickest
woods. distinguish respectively a
white man, a negro and one of their
own race by the smell. Much we
have gained by civilization; but not
without some loss to our bodily ener-
gies and senses. Mans recuperative
power after an injury is in the IN
verse ratio to his social advancement.
similarly he seems to become less
acute and delicate in the sense OF
smell as he fares better and lives
more comfortably. The faithful dog

Value Of the Old Precept Proved IN !
Battle with a Skunk.

Battle with a Skunk.
/ believe that a reasonable knowl-
edge OF skunks is apt to be very use
full TO one who lives In the country,
for It win not only keep him from
making unfortunate mistakes himself
now and then. but viii enable him to
appreciate the ludicrous accidents
which occasionally arise from the
ignorance of others.
Not SO very long ago had for
neighbor a rather aggressive German
who had lived all his life in the city,
but who. having made lot of money,
had decided to spend the rest of his
life as q country gentleman. One
night | was coming home late when
heard loud voices in my neighbours
garden. Not knowing what trouble
might be afoot. walked round to the
back Of the house, where an interest
ing alteration was in progress. My
neighbor stood on the balcony out
side his bedroom window but scantily
dressed, and in a loud, excited voice
he was giving orders in badly broken
named Mike. who seemed to be in no
particular hurry to execute them. For
some time / could not make out what
the matter was. but presently. between
the volleys Of sentences from the bal
cony, l heard Mike shout that he'd
be dommed II he'd 90 into chicken
coop and tackle a skunk for any
mon" Now, my neighbor under
stands very little English when he is
excited, and at such times an Irish
brogue conveys nothing at all to him.
But as Mike walked away in most
determined manner it was not diff
cult to understand that the order to
tackle the skunk would not be obeyed.
This enraged the German to such an
extent that he started for the hem
yard himself, further strengthened
In his purpose by the entreaties of his
wife, who begged him not to risk his
precious life by entering the coop with
the wild animal which Mike had i'm
prisoned there. His courage was not
a whit the less when he discovered
that the intruder was but a little
black-and-white creature no bigger
than a small cat l saw that he was
about to open the door. AS felt
certain that he did not understand
what he was up against" ! thought
it but a neighborly thing to warn
him. l got as far as You had better
look out, Mr.. Guggenheimer,' when
he waved me off with wild swing OF
the arm. He was not to be thwarted
in his purpose, so there was nothing
to do but wait and see the fun. The
skunk was far less anxious for battle,
and with lowered tail, was restlessly
pacing back and forth looking for
hole to escape by. Guggenheimer adj
vanced to within perhaps eight feet
Of the enemy, and then picked from
the ground a small box which he de-
liberately aimed at the skunk. He
did not hit the little animal, but the
latter gave him full credit for his in
tentions. and returned the fire. The
skunk was evidently a better marks
man, and, judging from the howl
which issued from my neighbor's
throat, must have made bullseye,
or very near it, Guggenheimer retreat
ed in disorder, leaving the skunk to
walk calmly out of the open door.
Ny neighbor spent the balance of the
night in the carriage house. whence
the sound of squirting water gave evil
dence of what was going on inside
