skunk's Weapon of Defense.

Some animals use sprays which are
not only strongly irritant. but pos
sess a most powerful and disgusting
odor. "Chiefest among these is the
American skunk, which has attained
worldwide notoriety," says Doctor
Pycraft. Its weapons of defense lie
in a pair of glands at the base of the
tail, and so conscious does their pos
SCISSOR appear to be of their formida-
BILE character that he makes no at
tempt to escape when approached
either by man or dog. From these
glands an amber-oolored, most pun
gent and acrid fluid can be expelled
and with force enough to carry sever
al yards.
Should a drop enter the eye VIC
lent inflammation, or even blindness
may result. But the fumes from this
fluid are even more to be dreaded
than the fluid itself, for, unless well di
luted with atmospheric air, they are
destructive to the respiratory pas
sages. The skunk thus makes use
of poison gas for the discontinue OF
its foes"

DIFFER ON VIEWS OF SOAP
Authorities Throughout the Centuries
Have Never Been in Agreement

Here comes a health off Ger with as
vice to use soap. He says it does not

race.
On the face of the advice, this health
officer appears to be old-fashioned, re-
marks the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
modern exquisites shun the use of soap
except in the bath and for purposes of
removing difficult dirt from the hands.
Soap on pretty face is almost sacri-
lege. Warm water and wash cloths ara
relied on to remove all soil from del
