Booth was shot by Boston Corbett and
his body taken to the Washington
arsenal. And one night WHEN ] was

naval vessel come abreast of the arsenal
and appeared as if she was afire with

Where We Taste the Disgusting

The third and lowest part of the
tongue and throat is the seat of those
peculiar tastes to which Prof Balm, the
great authority upon this important
philosophical subject has given the
names of relishes and disgusts. 1t is
here chiefly that we taste animal food,
fats, buffers, oils, and the richer class
of vegetables and made dishes. If We
like them we experience sensation
which may be called relish, and
which induces one to keep rolling the
morsel further down the throat till it
passes at last beyond the region of
our voluntary control. If we don't
them. we get the sensation which may
be called disgust, and which is very
different from the mere unpleasantness
of excessively pungent or bitter things.
1t is far less of an intellectual feeling.
We say, and say rightly, of such things
that we find it hard to swallow them;
a something within us (of very tam
gible nature) seems to rise up bodily
and protest against them. As very
good example or this experience, take
ones first attempt to swallow cod-liver
oil. Other things may be unpleasant
or unpalatable. but things of this Class
are in the strictest sense nasty and dis
gushing. .-CornhiH MGgasine

and none were blessed by them, mona

OF tn tir redemption; not a line they
wrote, not word they spoke could be
recalled, and SO they perished, their
light went out in darkness. and they
were not remembered more than the
insects of yesterday. VIII you thus
live and die, O man immortal ?-Live

hind you a monument of virtue that
the storm of time can never destroy.

and mercy, on the hearts of the thou

be as legible on the hearts you leave
behind, as the stars on the brow Of
evening Good deeds will shine as
brightly on the earth as the stars OF

The AbOrigines Of China.

The southern portion of the present
domain of China, comprising nearly
one-third of the whole, is compara-
lively recent addition to the empire.
having come under the jurisdiction of
the "Son of Heaven" only 200O years
ago. The original inhabitants of this
broad territory were easily subjucated.
Portions of them were attached tC
their conquerers as vassals or slaves.
and gradually, by intermarriage and
the adoption of the customs Of the
Chinese, lost their identity, and were
absorbed by the more powerful race
Traces of this original element are
still to be found in many localities, es
pecially among the mountains, and
may be seen in peculiarities of speech,
customs and physiogomy. The boat
people, everywhere regarded as an in.
ferior race, and numbering in the city
of Canton alone 100000 souls, are sup
posed to be the descendants Of this in
digenous race. In the mountain
range which forms the northern Dor.
der of the three southern provinces
and is a continuation of one section
of the great Himalayaa range, are
over 100 tribes of these aboriginal peo-
pie, who have constantly maintained
their independence against Chinese
aggressions Comparatively little is
known of them, but from the infor
nation derived from travellers, the,
seem, with but few exceptions. to b.
all of one race, and to be nearly allie(
to the Shans and Careens of Burmah
the Laos tribes, and those of the inte-
rior regions Of Cambodia and Cochin
China. The sublime self-conceit Of
the Chinese, and their indifference tc
everything outside of themselves, is
strikingly seen in the fact that in all
the centuries during which they have
lived in constant contact with these
various tribes they have learned but
little that is reliable concerning their
customs, habits of life, traditions, Ian
guage or government. a few individ-
uals have become interested, and have
left brief accounts and some rude
sketches, which are all the sources of
information from the Chinese side that
are available. - Washington Republi-

Yucatan Indian HHts,

The huts are oblong, and rounded at
the corners. Some are divided in two
by partition. More generally the
whole family crowd together in the
single apartment. The wall is formed
by putting sticks upright in the ground
and filing the interstices with mud, or
else with a mixture that is afterward
smoothed and white washed. The
roofs are slantins and thatched, the
thatch being allowed to fall within two
or three feet of the ground. to keep off
wind and rain. The surface of the
earth serves as flooring, since the in
mates can seldom afford to have it
cemented. The furniture consists of
a few hammocks hung across the room
they serve as seats by day and beds
by night-some low chairs called
b,ttaca (similar in shape to some of the
seats used by the Assyrians and
Egyptians Of old J, a wooden bench on
which are the grinding-stones, and an
image of saint in some corner of the

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A Curiosity of Child.Naming in Japan.

0ld-fashioned people in many dis
tricts of Japan, to whose families
death has made frequent visits, still
resort, in their anxiety to prolong the
lives of their children, to the custom
of bestowing upon their offspring
names ordinarily given to infants OF
the opposite sex. Probably the super
stition is more widely prevalent than
foreigners would suppose, but it is
only when some incident or story in
connection with its observance is re-
ported in the vernacular papers that
the majority become aware of the exis-
tence of the old custom. A Toxic
paper tells story in point. Some
time ago, a man named Kano, living
at Kameicho, Nihonbashi, Toxic, re-
ceived an intimation from the author
ities that his eldest son, Bunnosuke-
name always applied 20 males.
having attained military age, steps
should at once be taken with view to
the young man undergoing medical
examination prior to actual enlistment
Kano lost no time in going to the ward
Office and explaining to the officials
that Bunnosuke was his daughter,
though registered as a male since 1877,
in which year the census system was
altered. The authorities, however, in
whose mind frequent and more or less
ingenious schemes to evade conscrip-
tion had given rise to condition Of
pure scepticism on this point, did not
scruple to order an examination to be
conducted at Kano's house. The re-
suit, of course, proved the statement
made by the father, who, on being
questioned, said that, having lost two
daughters both about one year old, he
had been driven to this expedient to
keep the third alive. 1t may be pre-
sumed that its success, as evidenced in
his daughters attainment of military
age" will tend. at any rate among his
neighbors, to the revival Of a custom
which, whatever its inconvenience, is
not without suggestive interest.
Greater men than Kano have laid
schemes, far deeper than his simple
artifice, to circumvent the grim visi-
tor, and for the most part they have
failed.-Japan Nail.
