OUR DEcEWING SENSES.

Many readers no doubt are familiar
with Saxe's version of the Hindoo
legend relating the impressions of the
elephant; but few probably read it
with so much as a passing thought
to the great realm of mental pheno-
mena at which it hints. The first, it
will be remembered, happening to
fall against the elephants side, pro-
nounced him like a wall; the second,
feeling of his tusk thought him like
a spear; the third, taking his squirm-
ing trunk in his hands, found him
very like a snake; and so the fourth,
fifth, and sixth, judging from his leg,
car, and tail, each in turn insisted that
he was like a tree, a fan, and rope.
A little reflection will show, of
course, that the difficulty with the
six blind men, was not inaccurate
perception, if there really be such a
thing; but insufficient observation for
a correct generalization. Most, if not
all of our knowledge of the external
WOIlQ Is SdluSu LII OuSu ti1O oChSO vi
gans; and since few subjects in that
external world are of elementary SIM
plicity, it follows that the ideas of
most things are more or less logical
aggregations of all the perceptions of
which it has given rise. Thus the
pencil I hold in my hand manifests
itself to me in manifold ways. I see
it's form, it's size, it's colors, its indi-
vidual peculiarities of surface. | feel
it's smoothness in places. it's roughness
in others, it's form also, and even dis
tinguish between the wood and the
graphite; l heft it in my hand or on
my finger; I smell the odor of the
cedar, and lido I?) taste it also, in the
same way perhaps getting also SEN
sation differing from the others, from
the graphite; and then / tap it with
another pencil and hear the sound
produced. Now all these, and many
more, percepts, each more or less dis
tinct from the others. go to make up
the idea of pencil.-Technica World

with tamping roller. One stretch OF
this peculiar class of highway will be
under construction within a few days.
The oiled roads of California have
saved millions of dollars to the
farmers and fruit growers of that fer
tile state in the last few years by
suppressing the dust that formerly
arose in binding clouds with the
passing of every vehicle. Those dust
clouds floating to adjacent fields and
orchards deprecated the price of
farm products and lowered the value
of real estate to startling degree.
The sprinkling of oil was tried and
the dust was held in check. Then
some of the roads were ploughed and
the oil mixed with the earth and the
mass firmly rolled to a properly
crowned surface. Splendid results
followed in most instances.

Mounting a Mammoth.

After a journey lasting six months
and costing G1 700 the skeleton of a
mammoth found last January by
some Yakuts in the sandy bed of the
River Sanger-Yurach has reached ST.
Petersburg, says the London Globe
The skeleton was found 120 miles
fror, the Arctic ocean. The governor
Of Yakutsk telegraphed at once to the
Imperial Academy of Science, which
sent off straightway a mission to fetch
the interesting discovery to the CAPT
tai The specimen now brought to
some parts of its carcass have been
preserved, which so far have not been
found; unfortunately the teeth are abb
sent and also some of the softer por-
tons of the body. The carcass weighs
only 257 stone and it took six days
for the remains to be prepared and
treated properly by the experts, who
had to work in an ordinary tent at a
temperature of 80 degrees of cold.
The proboscis is found for the first
time in an uninjured state and it has
been put in spirits; the return journey
to Bulun, a distance of 1920 miles,
took a fortnight and the skeleton was
carried on reindeer sleighs; from
Bulun the skeleton was carried along
| the River Lena to Schegalov and from
Schegalov by carts to Yakutsk. II
will take at least a year to mount the
skeleton.

such places sit breathing the accumu-

which, rising from the floor, floats
in clouds into the air and settles
heavily on the antiquated plush still

but year or two ago that the news
papers considered briefly the dangers
of that bacterial paradise, the Pull

remonstrance passed over the coun-

it came. The peril from such
sources was, however, recognized two
decades ago by more than one, and
a quotation concerning the presence
of tuberculosis in such places from

two decades ago, holds as true today

Building at Swampscott, Mass, HaS
Lo q Been Used for This Purpose
The oldest shoe shop in MassacfD-
sets is located in Swampscott, accord
ing to the New York Herald.
The building stands on a little hill,
near Fishermen's beach, and for 11o
years, or ever since it was erected,
it has been constantly used as a shoe
shop.
1t is owned at present by Charles A.
Haskell. who worked in it for nearly
thirty-fve years before becoming its
proprietor.
The building now on Greenwood
avenue, was originally located liz

When first moved to Swampscott the
building was placed on vacant lot.
near Humphrey street, and in 1910 it
was removed from there farther down
the street, near the beach fishhouse-
In 1885 it was taken to it's present To-
cation.
1t was in 1S4S that Charles w Has
kell, father of the present owner, put
his seat into the shop and, with the
exception of two hours, it has never
been taken out and is still in USE
These two hours occurred in 1851,
at the time when Minot's Ledge light
house was carried away. It was
thought then that the wind and tide
would destroy the building and Mr.
Haskell decided that he would save
his bench and carried it to a place OF
safety.
The storm abated without doing the
shoe shop any damage and the seat
was again placed in position Mr..
Haskell continued to work in the shop.

DUST GERMS.

One germ found in dust needs es-
pecial mention. tuberculosis, which
may be classed among the dust dis
eases, ravages our country beyond all
other plaques today The consump-
tive sheds hundreds and thousands of
living tubercle bacilli every time he
sends forth sputum where it can mix
with the dust of street or room Once
mixed with that dust, deposited on
sand or other cutting particle, the
poisoned weapon flies upward ready
to cut through and enter the body

lungs of perfectly healthy persons
small tubercular LESSONS which have
healed, showing that they were able
to combat the poison when attacked

'sistance? How can the citizen tell
when that time may come to him or
to his family? The magnificent cru
SADIE against tuberculosis is doing
much to convince the individual of
the necessity of care against scat
tering contagion. The municipality
can do almost. as much towards the
stamping out of the plague by
steady constant struggle to achieve
the cleanest possible street.
In the dirt of the assembly hall, OF
the theater, of the hotel and the rail

the difficulties which exist in the

NEW FASHION IN MUZzLEs.
Dogs at Honesdale, Pa, Wear Them
as Lockets and Flout the Law.

The county seat of Wayne county
and all the neighboring territory as
far out as James Corners is all torn
up over the question of the interpre-
tation of the new dog-muzzling ordl-
nance which the city fathers OF
Honedals put into effect on July 30,
says the Honesdale, (Pa.) correspond
ent of the New York Sun.
Honesdale never had a dog-muz-
cling ordinance enforced before ana
the folks about here are undecided
whether the new law is contrary to
the charter laws of William Penn,
the constitution of the United States
or the borough grants of Honesdale
as interpreted by Squire VIII Ham
and enforced by Mayor Tom Ham.
First place, the notices to citizens
that were nailed up on the trees and
telegraph poles around town by
Chief of Police John j. Canivan are
ambiguous. The Honesdale Citizen
says of them that they are inconse-
quential ola podridas of black type
and blank sense which convey no
warming and fail even to conform to
the laws of subject, predicate and
object
On top Of the notices in heavy
black type is the word Dogs" AT
a distance one sees nothing else and
Pat Cogans of Cogans' Corners. who
left his reading glasses at home last
time he came to town, failed to see
the small line, Notice to Owners OF,
over the famboyant Dogs
Its no sign for me or any Other
man to read said Pat. Its a sign
for dogs only, and that's what it is
After the hail to dogs the notices
set forth that certain sections relat-
ing to the muzzling of dogs and TO
be found in borough ordinance No. ]
will be enforced after July 80 and
will all citizens please unite with
Police Chief John j. Canivan in en-
fore ng the law.
Now the ordinance distinctly sets
forth that during the months of July,
August and September all owners OF
dogs shall see to. it that their dogs
while at large shall wear muzzle.
Other minor provisionsc have to do
with collars and license tags, but
the main point is that, to quote the
language of the ordinance, ''al1 dogs
at large shall wear muzzle."
1t is that verb wear" that now
lars the calm of Honesdale into
angry dispute The ordinance says
that all dogs shall wear muzzles, but
it does not say word about where
they shall wear them. Jerry Ian
dregan. owner of the we'll Known
hay and feed store of Seeleyville. was
the first to discover this flaw.
Jerry came into Honesdale one
day last week with his coach dog
Pansy trailing under his buggy
Pansy had a collar and license tag
and she wore a muzzle. She did
not wear the muzzle over her face,
but tied loosely to her collar and
Tapping between her front feet.
Chief Canivan spotted Pansy and
started to gather her In when Jerry
