There exists n mistaken notion that
the tongue is the sole organ OF taste, just
rs the idea, natural but erroneous, Is eX-
tant that it is necessary FOR purposes OF
spccch. Az, g. matter OF fact, taste Is as
largely resident in the paiate as in the
tongue, while numerous cases are on
record in which persons who have SUI
fcrcd the loss of the tongue have been
able to speak with cicarncss. Recently
q proof was given Of the widespread
nature of tho taste sense in the mouth
In q patient Crom whom the tongue had
been very completely removed, it was
found that sensations of sweet, sour and
bitter nature were still present. Curious
". too, no sense of salt taste remained.
These facts would almost seem to prove
that various parts of tongue and pal
alto are set apart for the appreciation
of different tastes" This idea supports
the fact that the tongue possesses on its
| surface papill;a or taste organs OF differ
cnt shapes and sizes. 1t is consistent to
assume that such variations in the ends
| of the nerves of taste imply variations III

their harp or Tyre had only three

the psaltery, a small triangular harp or
Tyre with wire strings, and struck with
an iron needle or stick; their sacbut

VINCENT DE PAUL,
The Exemplary Life of a Famous Sixteenth
Century Hero.

century HERO
In 1876, in a village within the
shadow of the Pyrean peaks, Vincent
de Paul was born. AS boy he was
distinguished for his piety and gen.
crosby Returning from the mill he
would distribute handfuls of corr
among the poor whom he met, and
once having accumulated some silver
coins he gave them all to mendicant.
Early evincing a desire for knowl-
edge, his father took him from sheep
tending to a school in OAK. At sixteen
he became sub-tutor and prepared to
enter the priesthood, and at twenty
nine a legacy was bequeathed him.
One of the men in possession of it fed
to Marseilles to avoid payment. Vim
cent followed, but mercifully exacted
only a portion of the debt.
In returning he took ship to Mar
bonnie, and in the Gulf of Lyons they
were attacked by Barbary corsairs.
Surrendering only after the fierces'
resistance. they were carried to Tunis
and sold as slaves by their captors, al
whose hands they endured the most
excruciating torture.
Vincent, having been transferred
several times, was finally liberated and
taken to Rome by Il renegade of Nice,
whom he had reclaimed.
His life is beautiful example OF
noble, heroic self-sacrifce. All his
possessions were given to the poor and
he went about instructing and com.
forting.
In Rome he visited the cells of the
conciergerie, had the inmates lodged
in clean, wholesome apartments, and
taught them to pray. He instructed
the floating prisons, compared with
which the cOnciergerie appeared a
palace. Passing between the chained
ranks his tender heart bled at sight O.
the despair of some and stoicism OF
others. One in particular drew his at
tention. Upon inquiry he discovered
that this man had left wife and five
little children to die of want during
his Imprisonment. Vincent deliberated
and then proposed that the prisoner
go free, Offering himself to fill the
vacancy thus occasioned. Finally the
officer consented, clothes were changed.
and while the liberated prisoner sought
his loved ones Vincent, bound with
calling letters, piled his oar on board
the dismal ship.
There he remained until his release
was obtained by a friend who dis
covered his whereabouts. He now
erected a hospital for sick and dying
galley slaves. Soon after was estab-
lshed a refuge for homeless children.
He picked up little waits in the
streets, and, nestled under his long
cloak, were carried to that comfortable
home. In war, famine, pestilence and
slavery his herOism never deserted
him, and during the great inundation
of the Seine he and his band rOwed
out over the treacherOus waters amid
terrible currents. taking food to those
in half-submerged houses. His heart
was filled with love for God and man
and when, in his eightieth year, the
summons came, he died as he had

FACTS ABOUT PIGEONS.
How Their Homing Faculty Is Tested by
Their Owners and Teachers.

How Their Homing Faculty Is Tested by
Their Owners and Teachers.
Some time this afternoon trial lot
Of young birds belonging to ''homer5"
in this city will be liberated from in
front of the Inquirer Office for flight to
the loft Of their owners. This is to
test their hOming faculty. These
training journeys, as they are called,
are not to teach the birds the way, nor
how to fly, but to give them to under
stand that being put into the basket
they are to fly out OF it to home. The
birds, when put into the basket for the
first time look at each other full of
wonder, and their expressive eyes seem
to ask: This means something, but
dear me, what?n Sometimes birds
from different homes are to be sent in
one large hamper, and are brought
from the lofts for transfer to it in small
baskets. Before the transfer the birds
are marked upon the wings with an in
delible stamp. While waiting they are
placed in open cages. When first put
into these the birds are evidently
frightened. They do not huddle to-
gether, but stand apart. All stand
with the head raised in the attitude of
attention peculiar to the family. Thus
motionle5s, they watch every move
that is made. Neither hunger nor
thirst will tempt them for an instant
from their watchfulness. The second
time they are transferred, if there is no
change from the order that was OBJ
served in the first, the birds are soon
at their ease. They eat, drink and
quarrel as if ut home. After this the
door of the cage and the windows of
the room may be open, but the birds
will not take advantage of it. They
will. crowd to the door of the cage and
peer around, but will not attempt to
pass the portal. II, as it sometimes
happens, II bird is crowded out by its
fellows. it will not take advantage of
The open window, but will return to the
cage of its own accord. The bird ev-
identity understands that it is at that
place for purpose and is to remain
there until that purpose is served.
When they reach the liberating
point and the hour of their release ar
rives the liberatOr approaches the
baskets and taps gently upon the top.
Instantly the birds range themselves in
line and prepare for fight. When the
cover is lifted they rise and like flash,
without hesitation or indecisien, they
are off for the home loft, which may be
five hundred miles distant. They
never make mistake in their home,
but reaching it at the same rapid rate
of speed, suddenly drop to the trap
platform and with n confident fiutter OF
their feathers enter the loft.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
To BE Successful IA Lawyer Must Have
the Gift of Inspiring Confidence.

To BE Successful Il Lawyer Must Have
the Gift of Inspiring Confidence.
was deeply interested in a CONVEX
sation that heard to-day between an
old lawyer and young man who was
bent on studying law. Every young
ster who has the gift of CAB thinks he
would make his fortune as lawyer"
said the aged barrister. But the
truth is that there is nothing that a
lawyer has less use for, or that will
bring him less money, than the ability
to make good speech. Some peo-
pie seem to think that a lawyer
spends all of his time in arguments to
the jury, but the men in Chicago who
are making the most money out of the
profession, seldom or never see a jury.
A man may make piles of money in
the law business without ever leaving
his Office. The most valuable, and the
only indispensable talent that law
yer can have is the faculty of inspir-
ing confidence. That gift is one of the
rarest and most inscrutahle talents
that / know OF. Sometimes l think
that the less real merit lawyer has
the more readily he inspires confidence
and gets business. If you have the
knack of inspiring confidence. you can
get all the business you want, and it
is not.at all essential that you should
be able to attend to the business,
either. You can hire some splendid
lawyer to do it for you for mere
song But if people do not naturally
take to you and cOnfide in you as a
counsellor, you had better jump in the
lake than to undertake to practice
law. Chicago Journal
