The Dog Trusts Its Sense
of Smell Rather Than Sight

A dog has wonderfully good eyes,
but It has a still more wonderful sense
of smell. Our sense of smell is so very
feeble that only after we have made
long study of animals can We realize
how useful and delicate this sense may
be. A dog 'knows a stranger chiefly
because the stranger had a strange
scent. If the stranger wore the clothes
of the dogs master, then the animal
would take him for its master, even
though the stranger appeared very diff
ferent. After a time, very likely the
dog might begin to feel uncomfortable,
and act as If 1t thought something was
wrong somewhere.
Every creature forms its judgments
mainly by means of the particular
sense which is best developed in it,
and which it has therefore learned to
trust best. We know people by our
eyes, and though sometimes a mans
voice may be exactly like the voice of
friend, yet we do not think 1t is
our friend If our eyes do not tell us so.
The same way we trust our eyes, so
dog trusts its nose rather than its
eyes, because its sense of smell is its
best sense. 1t is because the dog has
the, wonderful thing called memory
that 1T knows a stranger" 1t is as
If 1t said to itself, "This is not q

Wood Is Staple Article of
Diet in Parts of Siberia

Wood in a certain form is common
and constant article Of food In all sec
lions of Siberia where the Yakut lives.
North of Verchoyansk, except in a
few sheltered valleys, there is little
food, aside from that afforded by fish,
than that furnished by the larch. The
natives eat it, however, because they
like 1t. Even in sections where fish
may be had, wood usually forms part
OF the natives evening meal, as the
many cleanly-stripped larch logs near
every hut testify.
The natives strip off the thick layers
Immediately under the bark of larch
log and, chopping it fine, mix it with
snow. 1t is then boiled In a kettle.
Sometimes a bit of fish roe is added,
and, In southern sections, cows milk

The Boy That Mother Spoiled
By LAURA JEAN LBBEY

under his mothers roof and Is quite
cided objections, declaring he was at
the table to eat and exchange agree
able conversation at the same time
with those about him and the family
paper could be perused later as long
and thoroughly as he pleased.
If mother stints her table to cook
just such food as her pet wants, and
for him alone, she is putting a huge
stumbling block in the path of the fu-
ture wife. The wife will expect him
to dine on the same dishes that she
does, declaring, with more annoyance
than anger, what is food for the
goose is food for the gander"
If the mother has reduced her
clothes to actual shabbiness to put 1t
all on her sons back in more suits
than he has actual use for, he will not
find wife likely to be so self-sacrific-
ing. If matters are not evened up or
reversed, he will find himself constant
ly in hot water over trying to give a
satisfactory explanation of why a hus-
band should dress like king and his
wife like beggar.
The young man who has been moth
er's pet is apt to have a quick temper,
with little or no concern for other
peoples needs, comforts or happiness.
He is more apt than not to develop In
to the kind of man who does not care
a rap how many elderly women are
standing If he can but push by main
force into a seat on a crowded car. In
his opinion women have no rights. No
matter how intensely a mother may
adore her son, she should teach him
from boyhood up to be chivalrous to
all women. In the struggle for a GER
tain goal. he should not elbow the
weaker aside. The motto of the chiv-
alrous brave man Is "Women and
Children First" Those are the mel
their mothers have not spoiled.
