Musk.

Musk in the raw looks a good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk of COM
merce is obtained from the muskrat is
mistake. There is obtained some
what similar perfume from the musk
rat, but most of the supply comes from
the musk deer, creature that is care
fully reared in India for the sake of
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 in 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.

instructive 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

THE ABUSE OF SOCIETY.
A Titled Lady Makes n Few PERTH
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 writer's have waged war on so
cial amenities all down the ages. We
know how Daniel denounced the Bah
ylonian court and how Horace revealed
the protiigacy of 4Augustan Rome. Ev-
cry leader of 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 dia-
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
piStodil SotlttJ Souid NC w Ho Auu LOl
lived before the French revolution."

formed is difficult. The grandmother

Man More Liquid Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation of living body is
bathed in moisture, by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones, which appear
to be the most solid of all, owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid.
That our bodies contain a large
amount of fluid is proved in a striking
manner by the blisters which rise after
the infection of a burn.
Water, in fact, plays very impor-
tant part In the human anatomy, for it
is through its agency that the vital
processes of digestion, absorption and
the eNcretion of waste products are
carried out.
To reduce the whole matter to figures
and taking 154 pounds to be the total
weight of an average full grown man,
it is said that water alone accounts for
100 pounds of the whole
