The HI DIS of Food i.referred by Differen
Animals and Insects.

The HI DIS OF Food i.referred by Different
Animals and Insects.
Many experiments have been made in
order to find out what and where the
organ of taste is in the L wer creation;
but it is easier to say where it is not.
Crayfsh and worms seem to have very de-
cded preferences in the matter of food,
though no special taste organ has yet
been found. HOLSTERS like decaying
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 sunfowers, are
great favorites; but they will not touch
the white mustard. Some prefer ami
NAL food, especially if rather high.
Spiders have only a slight sense of
taste; flies soaked in paraffine 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 some bees and cock
reaches fell prey to the temptation OF
alum, EPSON salts and other nauseouH
foods placed in their way These sub
stances were not, however, swallowed,
but were soon spat out, the creatures
spluttering angrily, as if Disguised 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
in insects is uncertain, we know that
groups of cells in the tongue of animals,
called taste bulbs, form, in part, thtE
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 a special
group of nerves, and that only-thus
corresponding to the auditory nerves.
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 blanket for din
ner instead of a rabbit, which was also
within reach, and it was only with
great difficulty that she was forced to
disgorge this singular article of food
A snakes tongue is, therefore, not ar
organ Of taste nor is it, as many think,
a sting; it is, more probably, delicat,
organ of touch. Cham bers' Journal

HOUSE DRESSES.

tunes.


Hints OF the Fashions In Indoor Cos
TUNES.
The house dresses of the present sea
son are charmingly simple and effect
i've, with no eccentricities in cut and
trimming. The best models have
round easy-fitting corsage, shorter than
those of year ago, with wide seamless
back and full gathered front, giving the
appearance of a natural waist not drawn
in by tight lacing. The long slender
"hour-glass" waists, brought into use
by English tailors, have almost entirely
disappeared The breadth given the
top of the corsage by revers bretelles,
epaulettes, or a collarette, added to
pulled sleeves will make any natural
waist seem small enough by contrast
For this reason they serve a good pur-
pose, yet danger to be guarded against
is that of exaggerating these accesso-
ries to too great size, and thus destroy
ing in a new way all proportion and
symmetry. Some modistes are using
double revers without epaulettes above
double-breasted fronts, making shout
der seams two or three inches longer
than formerly, and trusting to the
pulled sleeves for giving modish
breadth. Others have adopted extreme
ly long shoulder seams, coming quite
over the shoulder tips, with dropping
pulled sleeves in bell shape. Bolero
jacket fronts are turned back in revers
that expand in plated fullness above
the armhole, then disappear beneath
the sleeves in the back. There are also
new models with triple revers that start
In point on the shoulder seam, then
widen on the bust, while fancy preva-
lent in Paris is for revers alike in front
and back, turned down in v shape
below a chemisette of cloth, silk or
Grape Of a contrasting color, made with
very long shoulder seams The sleeves
are either of round balloon shape, or
else dropping puffs widest at the elbow,
in the fashion of 1880. -Harper's Bazaar.

SLAMS WATER FESTIVAL.

A Great Time with the Grandees and Peas
ants Alike.
At full moon in October, and again at
full moon in November, the three days
show is held, and for some time pre-
viously the houses of grandees and peas
ants, the markets and bazars, show
signs of preparation for the coming
event. The humblest style In which
the ceremony can be performed Is yet
pretty enough The broad, strong leaf
of plantain Is bent or folded into the
shape of boat or raft. In the middle
of this simple structure a tiny taper is
Is fixed upright. The "katoug," or
raft, of which this is the simplest form,
is then kept ready in the house until
the auspices moment-predicted by
the family priest-has arrived, says the
Saturday Review.
Then at this moment, when the water
is silvered over by the beams of the
broad, rising moon, the taper Is lighted
and the tiny raft is launched upon the
waves. Very slowly at first 1t makes
it's way along the edge of the ebbing
tide; then, waited gently by the still
evening air into the swifter current, it
drifts further and further away, until
only a bright speck of light distin-
guishes it from the ripping surface all
around. When the night is fine, thou
sands of these little stars of light may
be seen twinlxling on the bosom Of the
Menam, all winding their silent way
toward the boundless sea, all bearing
silent messages to departed friends who
have already gone to the great un-
known land

DIGGING FOR FISH.
Novel Way of Catching Them In Vogue In
CeylOn.

Novel Way of Catching Them In Vogue An
Ceylon.
In some parts of Ceylon the natives
are accustomed to dig in the mud dur
ing the hot season for fishes, which are
found buried in the soft clay at a depth
of two feet or more. /, 1t is thus that the
curious animals hide themselves during
period of torpidity.
More than one species Indigenous to
the island have this remarkable habit,
which accounts for the appearance Of
full-grown fishes in ponds which have
shortly before been entirely dried up.
This phenomenon was for long time
regarded as an inexplicable mystery.
The creatures as they find their ac-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT disappearing by evap-
grafton during the dry time of the year
bury themselves in the mud, sinking to
depth at which they find sufficient
moisture to preserve life for months,
while the bed of the pond above them
may perhaps become a hardened crust
dried and cracked by the heat of the
sun As soon as the water comes again
they emerge and people take advantage
of the opportunity while they are still
foundering about in the shadows to eff
feet their capture in large numbers

liz the hens show = disposition to get
too fat, with proper feeding, fatten
them to the full extent and eat or mar

toward getting rid of vermin.

wholesome. There should be no draft
ON the poultry, of course.
AN exchange says that charcoal Is @
good fattening food for turkeys. 1t is
good only because 1t helps digestion
and absorbs the gases. Charcoal Is
firstrrate for fowls, but in itself it has
no fattcning properties. = Farmers

BLIND PEOPLE.

They Are More Numerous In Russia Than
in Any Other Nation on the Globe.
The people of Russia are more terri
bly, afflicted with the infrmity of blind
ness than any other race, sect or nation
on the globe, the proportion being 81 to
every 10000 of population. In 1886
there was an official census taken of
the blind of Europe. These statistics
show a remarkable state of affairs,
especially in European Russia, the
Caucasus and Poland. In the countries
named there was a total of 1S9, 872 per-
sons who were entirely blind. The
whole of the remainder of Europe land
mind this includes the thickly popu-
lated countries of Germany, France,
Spain, Holland, Belgium, Great Britain,
etc. only has blind population num-
bering 1sS,S12. while the three Ameri-
cas-, North. Central and South, with
their islands, have less than 90, 600 per-
sons who are totally bereft of sight.
In the Caucasus the w omen, especially
those of country districts are more
liable to cecity than men, the propo :
ton being about 81 to 10. In Poland
there are 25 blind men for every IA
blind women, the same percentage
holding good over the most of Russia
in-Europe The authority from which
these facts are CLEANED states that
there are actually many small villages

frontier where the blind predominatel

with a dignity all it's own, and the
common ever in use among the poorest
is of really extraordinary beauty OF
style.
Further on we come to collection OF
red, black or gray earthenware, cheap
stoves, pipes and vases engraved with
ornaments in intaglio, painted blue or

disdained, know not why, by dealers
in oriental ware, Is extremely interest

and corner, are shops full of dazzling
objects; many-colored oriental stuffs,
figured brocades, dainty Arab jewelry,
cleaning daggers and sabers. ancient
damascene helmets, silver wine bottles,
spread out or piled up for sale. And
amid this confusion of stuffs, weapons
and Jewels in glass cases, or
of unfolded silks is the merchant, squat
ting in the shadow and smoking with
absolute Indifference, his dreamy eyes
gazing forth in kind of ecstasy of mel
ancholy, while before him, in the trans
parent bowl of his nargileh, at each
breath he draws, floats regular fotilla

and suffering shipwreck among the big
bubbles on the surface. These shrewd
I'D merchants really look like poets lost
in the third heaven of blissful contem-
olation.
Immediately after sunset the life and
notion of Cairo cease, and 1t is rare
thing to meet a native returning home

only resource is to pay visit to the

you turn into a gloomy passage among
tottering houses and find yourself OPP

somewhat sinister aspect. The same

passenger, absolute silence. but above
each door fiickers the fame of a little
watch-light floating in vessel of oil
and casting ray of light upon the mud
houses opposite.

NOTES OF The FASHIONS.
New Ideas In the Making and Trimmin
of Ladies' Costumes.

New Ideas In the Making and Trimming
of Ladies' Costumes.
The most stylish of the universally
popular capes has an Eiizabethan collar
with fur on both sides so that it can be
turned up or down.
Among the new French color combi-
nations are pale blue and heliotrope,
maroon and sea green, and browns with
greens of various shades.
= The latest thing in street garments is
natty, taut tight-ftting coat of
medium length With this is worn a
fur fichu, neclS-scarf, tippet or stole
shaped collarette.
Among the most elegant costumes for
spring are those of Russian velours, and
plain, smooth-faced clothes are to be
much used both for house and street
costumes
1t is declared by those who are in
position to know that it is tradesmen
and manufacturers who are pushing
the crinoline to the fore, and not those
who usually set fashions PAGES
Not only economical but picturesque
are the now fashionable bodices quite
different from the skirt, which enables
one to use the 'short-length" patterns
which are found on the bargain
counters
Plain French cashmere Is favorite
material for house gowns, which are
made with simple round waist with
immense silk bretelles that cover the
shoulders and graduate to sharp point
at the belt.
AS effective as fashionable is the waist
of tartan silk that tones well with the
dress skirt The tartan is cut on the
cross. In the fronts yoke and in the
back the folds reach from shoulder to
belt The full leg-o'-mutton is cut on
the bias.
This is the way sl1illful modiste
changed and freshened a handsome
black silk: A vest and panel together
with collar and cuffs of cream-white
ottoman silk striped with fine cut jet
was introduced, and when the whole
costume was sponged and pressed it
was transformed past all recognition.
Some of the most elegant reception
gowns are being made of transparent or
openwork fabric over either silk or
satin of contrasting color which pro
duces a charming changeable effect.
Rose color, corn yellow, silver blue,
Nile green and rose mauve are among
the colors woven in transparent nets,
which are mounted over silk of a shade
equally as bright but contrasting in

GIRLS DO NOT KNOW.

They Sometimes Reject the Most Bril-
liant and Best of suitors.
Rejected lovers may find consolation
from the knowledge that some Of the
cleverest and handsomest men have
been refused, and that they have never
theless managed to live on and win
fame and fortune, says the Brandon
Banner Shakespeare Is credited with
considerable knowledge Of humanity
and its ways, and he describes Romeo,
the prince Of lovers, as being rejected
by the fair Rosalind only just before
Juliet fell in love with him.
A certain John Scott once proposed
10 a Miss Allgood. While smarting
from her disdain he happened to enter
a village church during divine service
and there, for the first time, he saw the
pretty Miss Surtees. He wooed her and,
as the father would have nothing to say
to him, he induced her to elope, and
this though three wealthy suitors were
already at her feet. John Scott lived
to be the earl of Eldon and lord high
chancellor and never regretted the day
Miss Allgood rejected him.
Byron was refused several times He
proposed to Miss Millbanke, great
heiress, and was rejected, though the
lady expressed wish to correspond
with him. He then proposed to an
other lady and his suit was rejected,
too. Nothing daunted, he renewed his
proposal to Miss Millbanke, and this
time received a very fattering accep-
tance. They lived together, however,
very unhappily.
One of the most persistent suitors
who ever proposed and was rejected
was the eccentric Cruden, compiler of
the concordance to the Bible. Miss
Abney, who had inherited g large for
tune, was the subject of his attentions.
For months and months he pestered her
with calls and letters. When she left
home he had papers printed, which he
distributed in various places of worship,
asking the congregation to pray for her
safe return, and when she returned
home he issued others asking the wor-
shippers to return thanks. Miss Abner
never became Mrs. Cruden.
