Instinctiye Fear In Birds.

The instructive fear of death mani
tested by birds is shown by the follow
ing: A canary died, was buried, the
nesting place broken up, the surviving
mate removed to a new cage and the
old cage thoroughly cleaned and put
aside till the following spring. Never,
however, could any bird afterward en-
dure being placed in that cage. They
fought and struggled to get out, and If
all in vain their efforts they moped,
budding close together, thoroughly I'M
happy, refusing to be comforted by any
amount of sunshine, companionship or
dainty food. The experiment was tried
with foreign birds that had not been In
the house when the death occurred and
could not therefore have known Of the
event by observation. But the result
was always the same. For the future
that cage was haunted.-Popular Sci

Musk.

Musk in the raw looks 4 good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk OF com.
merce is obtained from the muskrat is
a mistake. There is obtained some
what similar perfume from the musk
rat, but most of the supply comes from
the musk deer, a creature that is care
fully reared in India for the sake or
the secretion. The secretion is shipped
in the crude state and is used not only
in the manufacture Of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also III very
small quantities to give strength and
staying power to many perfumes made
from the essential oils Of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms of
two native plants have a noticeably
musky odor. One is the small yellow
blossom Of a creeping vine known as
the musk plant. Its odor Is marked
and is counterfeited in the commercial
perfume called musk. The other is
the bloodroot. The pure white bios
som of that early spring plant has a
distinct though delicate musky odor. A
bean known as the musk bean Is a
cheap substitute for animal musk.

The Wastes OF the Body

Every seven days the blood mus

size loses two pounds of worn out
tissue. The waste cannot be re-

strength kept up without perfect

digestive organs fall to perform
their functions, the strength lets
down, health gives way, and dis
ease sets up. Kokol Dyspepsia

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness and that Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an ipfamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube IS
iphamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, deafness
Is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to a normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

THE ABUSE OF SOCIETY.
A Titled Lady Makes Few PERU
nent Remarks ON the Subject.

The abuse Of society is a favorite oc-
cupation with most people who cannot
force an entrance into it. 1t is not
even new. Cynics and satirists, preach
ers and writers have waged war on So
cial amenities all down the ages. we
know how Daniel denounced the Bah
Woman court and how Horace revealed
the profiigacy of Augustan Rome. EV-
cry leader of a regenerating move
ment. whether it be st. Bernard eX-
horting to crusades. st. Francis teach
ing Utopian poverty or John Knox
preaching reformation, has denounced
the easy morals and the easier stand
ard Of the liberation Of current socie-
ty. The reformers of every age de-
nounce their own contemporaries in ac-
cents Of varying degrees of violence.
Rousseau and Voltaire poured out dla-
tribes from different points OF view
against the frivolous society which
was cut off so abruptly by the guillo-
tine, but their denunciations fell on
deaf ears. Nobody" said Talleyrand'
could have any conception of how
pleasant society could be who had not
lived before the French revolution"
To reform those who will not be re-
formed is difficult. The grandmother
of Ambrosine, holding a scented pocket
handkerchief to her nose to keep on
the odor of the crowd as she tripped
to the guillotine, and Mary, queen OF
Scots, yawning in the face Of Knox, ex'
actly typify the attitude of all ages TO-
ward the Jeremiahs hammering at the
portals Of society.-A Countess in Lon
