The Senses as Affected by Sex.

If: the senses arc taken seriatim it will be evident that they are not parallel in men and women. The latter possess, in a much greater degree, the perfection of the sense of touch; those occupations that require extreme delicacy of manipulation, such as ace-making, embroidery, bead strinking, etc,., are therefore usually followed by woHnen. As regards the sense of hearing, we are not aware of any experiments or ob servations on the relative perfection of the sense in the two sexes ; and tho same may be stated as regards the sense of sight, which appears to be equally acute in women- and in men. In tho extreme delicacy of taste it is probable that men excel. Whether they do so naturally, or in consequence of the cultivation of palates, is perhaps a mooted question ; but that they excel not only as gour mands, but also as gourmets, may bo accepted asjan established fact, and the ticcumte perception of the delicate shades of difference distinguishing different brands and vintages of wine is much more frequently found in men than in women. Aa regards the senso of smell, some oxcoed ingly conclusive experiments have been made by somo American savants which appear to subvert our preconceived opinions. Tho experiments were per formed with prussic acid and other strongly odorous siibstancos on forty four males and thirty-eight females, and it was found that in nearly all cases the sense of smell was about doubly as acute in men as in women. Tho cause of the difference in this matter betweorunen and women is quite unknown, as is tho ob ject of the distinction ; but it has one prac tical bearing that may be borne in raindJ The employment of strong and potent per fumes by women may depend on their less ■acute souse of smell, and they would do well to bear in mind the fact that odours and perfumes which may bo quite pleasant to them may be almost overpowering and de cidedly unpleasant to individuals of the other sex.

Boarded by Centipedes.

Ah account comes from New York of a SfcWinge adventure which happened recently onboard of tho schooner Lucy T. Harvey, which was sailing from Port Prince to Phila delphia. The schooner was manned by a crew of negroes. She had left Port Prince some days, when the captain and the crew were all surprised to see the deck invaded by hundreds of centipedes, insects whoso bite in as dangerous us that of scorpions. They succeeded, however, in killing them all with boiling water. Some days later the steward ran from tho hold with cries of terror, saying that it swarmed with centi pede.; and scorpions. Some of the crew, provided with lanterns, descended into the hold, and tho insects, frightened by the light, camo on the deck by thousands. The sailors, again frightened, sought refuge on the masts, and tho captain could nob make them descend. For two days the centi pedes swarmed on the deck, and not one of the sailors would take the risk of quitting bis refuge. A Newfoundland dog which was chained in front, having been bitten, died in a few days. Tho captain and mate, who remained at then , posts, tried to destroy the insects by placing here and there pans of burning sulphur ; bub they only killed a hundred, and there were thou sands. At last a tempest, which under ■other circumstances would havo been a great nuisanco, arose, and tho sea ewepfc the deck, and soon the insects which had not been carried off by the waves died of t)old. The schooner had a cargo composed of wood for building, and cedar, of which much was worm-eaten,and in the interior of which tho centipedes had probably made their nests.

He Fooled the Telegraph.

Countryman - Thab feller in the tele graph office 'up there thought he was mighty smart, but I fooled him. Policeman—You did ? How ? •

Countryman—Oh, easy enough. You sco I went in there yesterday to send a mes sage to St. Louis, and told him what I wonted. "AH right," so/, ho, "75 cents." So I paid him the 75 cents, and I'll be darned if ho did a thing but rap that old brass clicker of his 15 or 20 times, and then hang the message on a hook. Policeman-Well, do you call that fool ing him ? Countryman—You just hold on, and I'll toll you. To-day, I wanted to send another message to St. Louie, biit I'll gosh-damned if I,wanted to pay seventy-five cents. So I went up to tho office, kinder polite like, and so/. I, "Mister," say I, "there's a young lady outside assess she'wants to speak to you.' I'll tend office 1 for you while youVe gone." Well, sir, ho .bit right away. OH' ho went in a hurry, and before ho gofc back I had plenty of time, to clink his old brass machine all I wanted, and hang my message on the hook just,'ill" he did the day before. , I" know they gofc it up, too, at the r othor end, for the minute I got through the old machine 1 went to clicking like blue blazes, r 's much's-to say, " All right, old man, we hear you."

The Pleasures of Dentistry.

Wα are told that the lato Nerp, upon an occasion when he had wearied thepleasiire of burning Christians, and had an unusually bigoted believer left over, cried to his as sistants : - " Drag him to the i nearest den* feist's-office and I, will-pull-his -teeth." After that the Emperor never- employed any- other form of torture, and it is said that he .often wept, to think; that' his cherished uncle, Caligula.; had been- de prived of so acute a pleasure as he derived i'r6m • the practice, i The ancient -. tyrants, however, were, not aWe> ■: to a extract, as ;i much enjoyment->--fronii<-the -pro? cesses .of dentistry as' the modern pro-, .lessors of that'; art,- >by reason/of their: lesser knowledge of anatomy as well as , by the inferiority of their instrumental - fov instance* did not know just 1 where to touch a nerve ■ in order to make his victim jump the highest, and neither did- he have a sufficiently delicate instrument to reach the exact spot without lessening the acute neSs of the sensation by the/irritation of other parts. The modern dentist, however, has his art down so fine that he is able, while deluding his victim into a sense of security by the narration of the last joke in "Puck, , . , or the latest witticism of 'VLife," tff suddenly touch a nerve centre that will, transmit a shock of six or seven hundred horse-power .from the patient's eyeballs to the /tips of his toes in the thousandth parts.of a second. One dentist is said to have; performed this feat with such gratifying success upon a sick-woman: that he died of jjoy. Another advantage that the modem dentist enjoys, which was •denied 1 the Itonian inquisition, is the- buzK wheel suspended above the operating chair uiud worked by the professional pedal ex

fcremity. The ecstasy of a" dentist after "he has thrust a gimlet operated by the_ buzz wheel clear through the roots of a victim's tooth, and is grinding it with his foot at the rate of 3,000 revolutions per minute, varies in direct ratio with the expression of "afony on the other's countenance;_ and scientific authorities declare that if the dentist had sufficient vital force to continue the exercise for more than four minutes and thirty-three seconds con secutively, the extravagance of his glee would undoubtedly impair his But it is, perhaps, from the actual putting of the gold into the tooth that the dentist ex tracts the most satisfaction. Having drilled a hole from the top of the tooth through the jaw and as far into the bone as possible, the dentist gags his victim with two or three napkins, fastons a rubber apron into the back of the throat with a steel clasp, and pauses to gloat upon him. Next he chops up the gold with a small hatchet, places it upon a swinging table before the unfortunate victim, heats it in a lamp and then gloats again. Then he seizes a pair of tongs with which the gold is placed in the cavity, and prepares to beat it down solid. This is effected in different ways by difforeut dentists. Some of the milder operators use a pill-driver, but the more savage type of dentist holds the gold in place with a crow-bar, while a feminine assistant pounds the end of the crow-bar with a sledge-hammer. Being broken on the wheel is amusement for the victim com pared with this process, and the rack a pleasant sensation. It is a sad fact that dental mania is on the increase, as is indi cated by the frequent signs of " Teeth Filled Whilo You Wait" in our business blocks. The legislature should regulate the traffic in the interests of the dentists them selves, since the practice of the profession is conducive to mendacity. The experienced victim always knows, for instance, when the dentist says, "Now, this will not hurt," that a tide is coming in his affairs that will make him wish hisparentshaddied before they had met each other. The most learned cccle siasts arc now inclining to the belief that the outer darkness, referred to in the Scrip tures, is only a figurative allusion to the dentist's chair, which is borno out by tho declaration that there shall be weeping and filling of teeth.—"New York Commercial Advertiser."

A Hero of Humble Life.

A TOUCHING story comes from Essex. A poor girl who died in the Brampton Hospi tal for Consumption expressed a wish to be buried at Littlo Horksley, some fifteen miles from London. Her mother and stepfather were poor, and could not afford to carry out ■ her wish in the ordinary way. So the man, though he happened to bo ill and weak at the time, first made tho coffin, and then wheeled the body down to its destination on a hand-carb. It took him three days to reach the Essex village. On the fourth day he saw tho girl buried, and her new-made grave decked with "flowers from tho kitchen garden and the meadow," and then his task was done. Tho local paper got wind of it, and so the tale of quiet heroism camo out. Then, of course, Joseph Ball had to be interviewed, and to help to make something for the papers out of a deed which, beyond doubt, in tho doing of it, he thought the most simple and natural thing in the world. He took his little boy of ten with him, to give a lift at tho hills. On the level road the boy had bis lift in the hand cart, with the corpse. At one of the places where they stopped, some village Bumble wanted to interfere, on the plea that he was a detective. The passage in which this incident is related would not have been un worthy of Bunyan. "Wo had a bother, and he would have forced open the coffin, bub my Master is always stronger than the Devil, and ho gave to struggle with tho man, and put him out of the house." The inspoctor of police, who afterwards appeared on the scene, showed more common sonso, and, after taking tho amateur undertaker's name snd address, let him go on his way. The story is a perfect bit of quiet beauty as it atands, and wo dread to mar it with a superfluous word. If a great, genius took it in hand, he might make it imperishable. Tho poor havo a way of doing these tilings for one another without knowing that any thing has been done. The last thing the poor cabinet-maker thought of, we may be sure, was that his walking funeral of fifty miles would get into print.—" Daily News."

Told in His Own Way.

A man named Bob Tompkins was on trial before an Austin justice for assault. Old Uncle Moso was one of the leading witnesses for the State. The main point was, whether or not Tompkins had given any provocation to bring on the row. " Now, tell this jury all you know about the affair," said the justice. " Kin I tell the" jury ill I know, in ray own way ?" asked Old Mose. " Yes, tell tho story what you know in your own way." Old Mose turned solemnly to the ex pectant jurymen : — "Gem'mens ob do jury, you am the meanest looking crowd eber I seed " " Stop !" bawled tho attorney for the State. ''■■■■ : .;■,.' "Your honour will incarcerate thewitness for contempt of Court!" howled t torney for the prisoner. ■ ■> ■ Tho foreman of the jury got up and asked the Court to protect the jury from insult. '■■'■ • ■ . " Witness, if you insulb the jury again, I shall certainly resort toexbremomeasures." '' I'm not going to consult nobody ef you don't interfere wid mo," said Old Mose, sullenly. '' Proceed." "Gem'mens ob do jury, you am.de meanest looking crowd eber.T seed outside ob a jail——" : ' '. ', ' ' • The prosecuting attorney jumped up arid down. ~. i . ; The foreman of the jury orse more, howled- ,;; ~,,..-' : '• . '' Your honour !.'' . The constable laid his heavy hand en the collar of Old.Mqse, when the latter calmly repeated to the jury— '" You am de meanest looking crowd eber 1 seed outside ob a jail. Dem was de bery words de'prisoner dar used when he fust come intev de bar-room, an' which led to de row." - •; ■

The foreman : sat down quick. The at torneys doubled up like jack-knives with suppressed laughter. His honour smiled, the' spectators roared ; while Mose, with a surprised look of childish innocence, once more said emphatically : to the cowed jury men ~ ;  " You am do meanest-looking crowd eber I seed outside ob de jail."
