THE SENSE OF TASTE.

The tongue is not the only organ
used in the enjoyment Of this sense,
and alone it is scarcely capable of ap-
preciating delicate flavors.
The difference between salt and
sugar when placed on the tongue is
hardly perceptible. provided the
tongue is not allowed to touch the roof
of the mouth and the lips. Indeed,
the act of getting the full enjoyment of
flavor, commonly called smacking
the lips. consists in bringing the
tongue into contact with the roof of
the mouth and the lips. By this act
the substance to be tasted is spread
over the surfaces of these parts. par
ticularly of the tongue, and mixed
with the saliva.
How this act produces taste is not
exactly known. but we do know that
the tongue is covered with two layers
of skin. the lower one thick and filled
with nerves, and the upper one thin
and porous. The nerves in the lower
skin are the nerves of taste, and prob
ably are set into vibration by the sub
stance tasted, very much as the ex-
uuisitely sensitive nerves Of the retina
are affected by light, or the nerves OF
the ear by sound. At all events. the
sense is conveyed to the brain, where
we involuntarily distinguish between
pleasant and disagreeable tastes.
The nerves. moreover, of the tongue
are not all alike In the tip of the
tongue they are clustered together
more closely than at the back, and
transfer to the brain different sensa-
tion. For instance, little powdered
alum placed ON the back Of the tongue
tastes sweet, whereas on the tip il
tastes aoid.
The sense of taste is an almost GER
tain guide to the wholesomeness OF
foods, and a monitor which warns us
when we are in danger of swallow
ing any injurious or poisonous SUBJ
stances.
Poisons, as a rule, are extremely dis.
agreeable to the taste, and it requires
an effort to overcome the natural re-
pugnance to them. Hence it is that
accidental poisoning SO rarely occurs.
In the case of foods we soon tire OF
thing as a regular diet, and the taste
Graves a change. Here the whole sys-
tenn rebels against the monotony OF
diet, because no one food is likely tc
contain all the elements of nutrition
required by the body for the exercise
of its functions, and soon the elements
which are in excess cloy upon the
taste, because the system is already
supplied with them, while we crave
the foods containing substances which
the system lacks. A change is ther
demanded by Nature, and made mani
fest by the sense Of taste.
If the change cannot be made. Ma
ture shows her disapproval by causing
loss of appetite or repugnance tc
the condemned article Of diet.
Again, in the case Of foods which
are much concentrated, or have Q
strong flavor, like preserved fruits OF
syrups, the taste soon becomes dulled
to the pleasure of their sweetness, be-
cause the delicate nerves which convey
the impression of sweetness to the
brain become fatigued and fail to re-
spond to the exciting cause.

THE OLD JEWISH COLONY IN CHINA.

1t is quite possib that the conclu-
sions of peace between China and
Japan may be the means, in the near
future, Of enabling some clearer light
to be thrown on the Jewish colony in
China. One of the five ports to be
opened to the outside world is that of
Kalfeng-foo, in the province where
the last remnant of the ancient Jewish
settlement exists. Since their first dis
coveIy several attempts have been made
to open up communication with them,
but so pronounced is the fanaticism of
the Chinese that all efforts in this
direction have failed. 1t should not
now be long. as result of the COM
plete transformation which the whole
trustworthy information as to the con-
dition of the Jews of Kaifeng-foo can
be obtained. 1t is, moreover. quite
within the bounds of probability that
other Jewish colonies or traces of their
existence. should be found i'll the hith-
erto inaccessible parts of the interior.
The kaifeng-foo colony was surely not
the only one that was formed in China
perhaps more than 1900 years ago.
The expedition which travelled from
the Euphrates to the Yellow River
must have been very considerable in
numbers, and its history, if it ever
could be known, would be sure to
possess extraordinary and romantic
features. In country so literary
there may be some written records,
both Jewish and native. which would
be of inestimable value to Jewish his
tory and science. Chronicle.

Letters that go Wrong in the
Mails.

Frank Jones, the first assistant post
master general, is trying to devise
some means of preventing the public
wasting its money in dead letters.
The number of letters containing
money which go wrong in the mails
is increasing at an alarming rate, and
officials OF the department think it is
time something were done about it.
During the last year no fewer than
2S,5S1 letters and parcels opened In
the dead letter Office were found to
contain money, the total being $685.
255. In addition to the money there
were drafts and money orders with a
face value of over Sl,000,00O, postal
notes of the value of nearly $4,000,
10000 letters containing receipts,
legal and other papers, $4,000 letters
containing photographs, ZOO con-
tanning postage stamps, 81, $50 parcels
containing articles of merchandise,
1000 letters containing manuscript,
and nearly 5000, 900 letters without
separate inclosures- "This is an en-
ormous amount of property to go
wrong in the mails" said Mr.. Jones,
sand it was found on investigation
that in nine cases out OF ten the fault
was wholly that of the writer. BY
opening the letters experts were able
to return to the owners S26, 900 Of the
money, 1867, 900 of the drafts, notes
and money orders, $4,000 of the
postal notes, 140, 600 of the letters
containing postage stamps, and sim
ilarl y large proportion Of the other
letters and parcels. a great pro-
portion of these were SO carelessly
and obscurely addressed that their de-
livery was impossible, while the fail
ure on the part of senders to sign
their full name and give their ad-
dresses has made it impossible tor us
to return them. Many people do not
appear to know that the department
is required to keep letters with money
Enclosures for four years, and that such
letters may be reclaimed at any time
within that period. We want the
public to know this fact, so that peo-
pie who have lost money in the mails
make application for its restoration.
We would much prefer to return the
money to it's rightful owners rather
han turn it into the treasury at the
end of the four years period"

Old Hayseed's Visit to Church.

The Practical Result.
New York Sun.

| The income tax was devised and i'm
posed for the special purpose of strik
ing at the very rich; the great land
lords, the bloated bondholders, and
the possessors of vast inherited estates.
Mr.. CLEVELAND suggested it also as a
means OF striking at the great eorpor-
ations, the railroads, and the like.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
that the law taxation of rents and OF
State and municipal bonds is uncon-
stitutionaI, relieves the landlords and
n large part Of the bondholders from
its imposition. The even division of
the Court rs to the main question Of
the constitutionality of the law, leaves
that question open for future settle
ment.
Practically, therefore, the tax will
be collected only from those the
amount of whose incomes over 81 900
is too small to induce them TO make a
contest against it; men on salaries,
professional men, and men i'll trade
and business who are making their
incomes by their daily labor. Cor
porations whose tax under the law
is large in sum are encouraged to
fight against Its payment, and the
chances that they will be successful
are so good that they can afford TO
make the contest. So. also it will
be with the few very ricn men from
whom the tax would take a large
sum.
Great and combined and accumu-
lated wealth will hold back. Those
who are making incomes exceeding
$4,000 by only a comparatively
small amount in the regular and !
active pursuit of industry, are like
iy to pay the great part of the in !
come tax actually collected.
That is the result Of the Populist
and Communist ana pseudo Demo- !;
cratic conspiracy to strike at the ac-
c'nnulation of property. The blow
thus aimed actually hits only the
enterprise, skill, learning, and ex-
pert ability engaged in arduous in
dividual efforts to obtain a COM
paratively small measure of material
reward.
