MisunderstandlngA About the Period Of Lease Nearly Leads

2. Eliza Tsmert, the owner of ten acre ranch just south of the city, yes- terday morning suddenly arrested sgri- cultural pursuits on her property and later in the day gave peace bond under the terms of which she will net do it again.
 Some time ago she put the property in the hands of O. L. Gibbs to rent. He leased it to J. J. Cottrell for a year bat Mrs. Ismert understood that Cottrell's lesse expired on the first of the present month. Accordingly she disputed his right to crop of alfalfa which he was preparing to take posses sion of. Yesterday morning he sent w. MeClintock to cut the hay but Mrs. Iemert countermanded the instructions. Mr. McClintock declined to pay any attention to her saying that he was under previous orders. It was

McCIintock forgot all about the heroes of Balaklava, forgot every. thing but that ehotgun in the hands ol determined woman. He called on Justice Kincaid to inquire if the agrarisn interests of the country were to be subjected to shotgun policy. They certainly were not the juetice in, formed him and warrant was issued for Mrs. Ismert. Mir. McClintock re. turned to the field and the merry sounc of the mower was heard all day long where erstwhile implements of wal and subjugation held sway.

 IRwIEToN, Ga, June 28 --[ Associated Press. .l--Sherif Hughes returned from Laurens this morning with the hounds. Fhe supposed rapist's tracks had been Tun over so much by the posse that it was impossible for the hounds to make any headway.
 But it is now supposed that 6 crim- inal intimacy had been existing be. tween the negro and the white girl, who Is about l5 years of age, for snme time. and the fact developing itself caused the couple to endeavor to leave for parts unknown. The girl was not cap tured until run down, so goes the re. port. Of course the father and broth CTS and friends of the family are indig- nant and would swing the negro 10 the nearest limb il captured. The search was continued up to late hour last night, but it Is thought the negro has made good his escape.
 The family, in their emharassms mt, have many sympathizers. who will use every effort to capture the negro aud bring him to justice on short notice. The affair Is deeply regretted on account ot the parents of the child.

TASTE IN ANIMALS,
The Kluds of Food Preferred by Diaeren
Animals and Insects.

The KInds of Food Preferred by Different
Animals and Insects
Many experiments have been made in
order to find out what and wherl the
organ of taste is in the lower crcation
but it is easier to say where it is not.
Crayfish and worms seem to have very de,
cided preferences in the matter of food,
though no special taste organ has yet
been found. Lobsters like decayng
food; the crab is more dainty in It's diet.
Snails and slugs show decided prefer
ence for certain kinds of food, as gar
den lovers know to their cost; peas and
cabbages, dahlias and sunflowers, are
great favorites; but they will not touch
the white mustard. Some prefer ami.
NAL food, especially If rather high.
Spiders have only n slight sense OF
taste; flies soaked in parafline seem
quite palatable to them; though one
species, the diadema, is somewhat more
particular, and refuses to touch alcohol
in any form whatever.
The antenn@ of insects do not appear
to contain any organ of taste, for wasps
and ants quite readily took into their
mouths poisonous and unpleasant food,
even swallowing enough to make them.
selves i'll, while som, bees and cocl;-
reaches fell prey to the temptation OF
alum, EPSON salts and other nauseous
foods placed in their way. These sub.
stances were not, however, swallowed,
but were soon spat out, the creatures
spluttcring angrily, as if disgusted with
the taste. The proboscis of the fly and
the tongue of bees and ants are fur
nished with numerous delicate hairs
set in minute. pits; these are perhaps
connected with the organ of taste; but,
though the exact locality of this sense
III insects is uncertain, we know that
groups of cells in the tongue of animals,
called taste bulbs, form, in part, the
ends of the organ of taste. These vary
in number, increasing in the higher
animals; they are very close and eX-
ceedingly numerous in man, while the
tongue of even the COW has some thirty
five thousand taste bulbs. 1t would be
interesting to know, but have never
seen the question discussed, whether
each special taste excites special
| group of nerves, and that only-thus
corresponding to the auditory nerves.
These taste bulbs were discovered in
| 1867. Each one consists of two kinds
of cells, one set forming an outer pro-
tective covering, through an opening in
which project from five to ten of the
true taste cells. Though important,
they are not apparently an essential
part of the organ for birds and reptiles
have none, butneither have they keen
sense of taste-except, perhaps, the
parrot. A boa constructor that was
nearly blind was once found to be con
tentedly swallowing a blanket for din
ner, instead of rabbit which was ais,
within reach, and it was only will
great difficulty that she was forced tc
disgorge this singular article of food
A snakes tongue is, therefore, not al
organ of taste, nor is it, as many think
a sting; it is, more probably, a delicate
organ of touch. Chambers Journal
