A Curiosity of Taste.

What do you think of the idea of sweetening your sugar with little salt or quinine? Don't laugh at the proposi- tion, for there is more of point to it than can be seen on the surface of the mere assertion. Professor Zunte, a Ger man chemist and an expert before some big Berlin physiological society, acci- dentally discovered the fact that sugars sweetening properties were actually strengthened by the addition of mi mute quantity of salt. From his expert ments he finds that if to a solution of sugar there be added slight amount of salt and water, so weak that it excites no saline taste, the result proves that the strength of the sugar is much aug mented thereby. He also says that the very weakest possible solution of qui
 nine and water produces similar ef- feet The explanation which the learned professor gives of the above seeming in- congruity is this-that, be the saltness or bitterness ever so feeble, providing it is sufficient to excite the follicles of the tongue at all, 1t imparts an increased sensibility to the organ of taste. For fear that the above will be hardly intel
 igible, will close by giving quotation from Professor Zunte: "The sensation of taste is wonderfully excited by the simultaneous stimuli of the epyrean fol- licles and the consequent enlargement of their peletia- '-St Louis Republic.

MILITARY BRUTALITY.
The Poet Heigel and an old Man Cut Dow
 by Austrian Officers.

The Poet Heigel and an old Man Cut Down by Austrian Officers.
 In Germany and Austria every week brings with it instances of military bru- taity toward civilians. Most of these instances are forgotten after the publica- tion of few indignant paragraphs in the Radical journals and Radical or So- cial Democratic interpolation in parlia- ment. One that occurred at Riva, on Lago di Garda, two weeks ago, however, was so remarkable for such exceptional | brutality that it has had more serious consequences.
 Carl Heigel, the German poet, was sit ting with friend at table in the great concert garden in Riva. His friend was 65 years old and somewhat decrepit. At the next table sat several officers of the imperial chasseurs, who are garrisoned at Riva. Heigel's friend, who had been wearied by rather long walk, fell asleep, and the officers began to poke fun at him. They were so loud that they woke the old man up. When he heard them cracking jokes at his expense, he re- marked to Heigel:
 Persons who make fun of an old man can hardly be gentlemen, even if they do wear uniforms"
 Heigel nodded assent. All the officers heard the remark and saw the nod. One of them sprang up, faced Heigel and ordered him and the old man to leave the garden. Heigels answer was stun 1 ming open hand blow which sent the officer reeling back on the table. Then followed a scene with features painfully familiar to persons who have lived in Germany or Austria. The off, cers drew their swords and started for ward to run through the two unarmed men. The old man fell at the first onset, but Heigel stood his ground, dealing blows right and left until cut down. Blood was flowing from three wounds in his head and he lay half unconscious. A young lieutenant aimed sword blow at him, but the bandmaster, Bru- nelli, who had hastened from the plat form, caught the sword with his baton and pushed the lieutenant back. Sever al other men gathered in front of Heigel and his companion and threatened to make short work of the officers in case another blow should be struck. A crowd invaded the garden, began jostling the officers and demanded that they be dis armed and punished then and there. The police were obliged to interfere to save the officers from violence, although no policeman had found time to inter fere when Heigel and his companion were beaten down.
 Heigel has received calls daily in his sickroom from all the most conspicuous persons in Riva, excepting, of course, the military. The city officials have called upon him to apologize for the attack in the garden. Throughout the whole dis trict round Riva there was a unanimous demand for the punishment of the off, cers concerned in the fight. A high rail way official who was with them in the garden was discharged. A lieutenant colonel, who struck down Heigel's con- panion, was called a coward by cap | tain in his own regiment. In the duel which followed both officers were wound ed. The rest of the officers will be tried | by court martial.
 Heigel and his friend are recovering slowly.-New York Sun.

his personal experience as prisoner of war. He gave the history of the organ ization of the G. A. R. and explained the object and principles of the order.
 Commander Adams made another brief speech and stated that the GAR. records of the Department of Connec- ticut show that 146 G. A. R. men had died during the past year, and 149 the previous year. The average death rate in this Department for a number of years has been about 150 annually, or about 1000 annually in the entire GA. R. but only about one half of the veter- ans in the United States are members of the G. A. R., therefore it is safe to say that the annual death rate of veter- ans is 14,000. He then paid tribute to the memory of the late Chaplain Eddy. The choir sang Dropping from the ranks, one by one."
 Rev B. Seeholzer made a brief but rousing speech, full of patriotism. We cannot attempt to give even an outline of the speech, but merely mention two or three points.

While you soldiers were valantly fighting the battles of our country, I was doing valiantly in my mothers arms I cannot call you com rades, but we are comrades in spirit. ' He then told the story of the old guardsman who desired to see Charles Dickens, and when he was permitted to see Mir Dickens features he said "God bless you, Mir Dickens" Likewise, Rev Seeholzer locked into the faces of the soldiers before him and said "God bloss you" In speaking of the veter- ans, both living and deceased, he said "God forbid that these men be forgot ten." He regretted that this day (Me- morial Day) is being dismembered, and is becoming more or less holiday for pleasure, base ball and other sports. He uttered vigorous protest against such misuse of the day, and said, "This day belongs to the soldiers. It is their day. It is the day to honor the veterans and honor the memory of their fallen comrades. This is the day set apart to decorate soldiers graves, and the graves of soldiers only"
 Commander Adams and wife sang .'Shed a tear" The entire assembly sang America" Rev 0. D. Milliken pronounced the benediction. | NOTES. Flags and bunting were display ed from many residences in town. and most of the stores were closed during the afternoon and evening.
