Tasting without a Tongue

There exists mistaken notion that
the tongue is the sole organ Of taste, just
as the idea, natural but erroneous, is ex-
tant that it is necessary for purposes Of
speech. As matter Of fact, taste is as
largely resident in the palate as in the
tongue, while numerous cases are on
record in which persons who have suf-
fered the loss of the tongue have been
able to speak with clearness. Recently
a proof was given of the widespread
nature of the taste sense in the mouth.
In a patient from whom the tongue had
been very completely removed, it was
found that sensations of sweet, sour and
bitter nature were still present. Curious
Iy, too, no sense of salt taste remained.
These facts would almost seem to prove
that various parts of tongue and pal
ate are set apart for the appreciation
of different tastes" This idea supports
the fact that the tongue possesses on its
surface papillae or taste organs of differ
ent shapes and sizes. 1t is consistent to
assume that such variations in the ends
of the nerves of taste imply variations in
their functiops-New York Telegram.

"Did you know that the legend e
Pluribus Unum,' which has appeared on
different United States coins, was never
authorized to be so placed by lawT said
a nun1ismatist. eft was first used in
that way in 1886. There was no United
States mint then. but there was private
one at Newburg, n. Y, and the motto
of the United States was first placed on
a copper coin struck at that mint. Few
collections have specimens of this coin.
They are valuable. In 1887 goldsmith
named Brasher coined a piece which
was known as the S16 gold piece, and the
motto placed in this form, 'Unum e
PIuribus,' was stamped upon #. The
coin is worth today g, 900, and only four
are known to be In existence. In 1887
the motto also appeared on various copper
coins of the State of New Jersey.
"a great many of our early coins,
before there was any legal authority for
national coinage here, were made in
England The State of Kentucky had
some peculiar copper coins which were
minted in England In 1891 and bore the
national motto. The United States mint
was established in 1892, but the use of
the motto on any of the gold, silver or
copper coins was not authorized or
directed by any of the provisions of the
act establishing it.. The motto had not
appeared on any Of our coins since 1887
until the present silver dollar was coined.
1t remained on our early gold and silver
coins until 1884, when it was omitted
from the gold coins. In 1896 it was
dropped from the silver twenty-five cent
piece and the following year from eli
silver coins. - Philadelphia Press.

SENATOR INGALLS, saId yesterday:
II never said that prohibition was sat

cause the pTohibitioniStS got their pro-

feeling of lassitude in the lumbar re-

that there is as much lying done to pro-
tect prohibition as there is to defend
whisky. IL the papers and the poll

hard to determine in short time how
the matter stands. AS it is, no ont

4 GINNING Bird.


Canary birds are easily trained, as we
told you recently. Two of our girls
send us the following letter about one
belonging to their aunt. Everybody de-
lights in trained bird and there is no
reason why boys and girls should not
teach their little pets all the tricks our
young friends here tell us about.
DEAR Mr.. EDIToR-After reading about
canary birds in your paper we thought
you would like to hear about one our
aunt has in Washington. It is very
tame and flies through the house, both
up and down stairs. One day he follow
ed grandma out into the front yard with
out l1er knowledge. She was scared
when she saw him on the step, but spoke
sharply to him, saying, ''Petel you ras-
cali go in the houser' Rather to her sur
prise he turned and hoped in.
When any one uses the typewriter he
gets on the carriage and rides back and
forth, sometimes running along on it as
If trying to beat it. He will go to a
stranger when spoken to and he never
gets tired playing with any one. He
will also lie on his back In the palm of
your hand and play "dead bird"
People often bring their friends to see
him, as he is SO very amusing. Besides
he is beautiful singer.-Philadelph

\ Tip from spool Land.

We commend to the attention Of the
Society for Psychical Research the latest
dream story in connection with racing
A well known ex-military sportsman for
some weeks past had made up his mind
that he would try and dream the winner
OF the Lincoln handicap. This ingenious
idea of his he announced to several Of
his friends, who naturally smiled some
what skeptically on the would be seer
However, on Monday night five times in
succession he dreamt that No. 10 had
won the race. As there was no horse of
that name the sportsman in question
came to the conclusion that his vision
must refer to the number on the card
He made no secret Of his belief, and yes
terday morning he sent messenger to
Kings Gross to get the card and back
his dream number. There were no cards
to be had at the station. Accordingly,
he wired to Messrs. W. II. Smith &
Sons bookstall at Lincoln for the name
Of No. Is on the days card for the handi-
cap. The answer came back promptly,
''Wise Man" The resoIute dreamer i'm
medIateIy backed the horse, with the
happy result that all wise racing men
now wot of. Every detail of this singu-
lar story is absolutely true, and there
are many who can testify to having
heard the prophecy Of No. IS delivered

rhn Poetio T,anlr Cash,er.

It was in Indianapolis, or somewhere
around there. He was trusted clerk
In the bank, with all the usual Sunday
school connections and religious reputa-
ton. 1t was big bank, where the direc-
tors took special note of character. The
cashier died and they gave him the va
cant post. He was man of feeling and
had great deal of poetry and originality
besides. He was deeply touched by the
death of his friend, whose place he took.
So he took apage of the cash book where
his friends accounts closed, ruled it
around in artistic style with broad bands
of black, and in the center he wrote a
beautiful, touching, poetic obituary,
which brought tears to the eyes Of the
president and the board of directors.
They were deeply impressed. Later
there came little dispute between the
board and himself touching a, extraor-
binary difference in the balance between
what they thought it ought to be and
what he found it was. He left, and they
turned back to read that beautiful obit-
uary again. Opposite that feeling tribute
they found on the first page of his career
two mistakes" which were much against
the bank and to the cashiers advantage.
