THE TONGUE is not equally
distributed over the whole surface OF
the tongue. There are three distinct
regions of tracks, each of which has to
perform its own special office or func-
ton. The tip Of the tongue is con-
cerned mainly with pungent and acid
tastes; the middle portion is sensitive
chiefly to sweets or bitters, while the
back or lower portion confines itself
entirely to the havors of roast meats,
butter, oils and rich and fatty substan-
ces. There are good reasons for this
subdivision Of faculties in the tongue,
the object being, as it were, to make
each piece of food undergo three sep
arate examinations, which must be
successfully passed before it is admit
ted into full participation in the human
economy. The first examination gets
rid of substances which would be ac-
lively and Immediately destructive to
the very tissues of the mouth and body ;
the second discriminates between pois-
onous and chemically harmless food

POISONOUS EFFECT OF BoRAx.-The
extensive use of compounds contain
ing borax, which under various names
are sold for preserving foods, a special
interest to some observations of noted
French physician, who has used borax
in the treatment of intractable cases
of epilepsy, and with success in certain
cases. 1t is true that for this purpose
it was necessary to give large doses for
long periods, but in the cousre of the
trial he met with considerable num-
ber of persons who were peculiarly
susceptible to borax. In them, loss of
appetite was succeeded by burning
pain in the pit of the stomach, dryness
ofthe mouth, and eventually by nausea
and vomiting. Borax produces also a
remarkable dryness of the skin, which
is found to favor, if not to cause,
various skin diseases, especially
eczema, says The British Medical Jour,
nal. The hair also becomes dry and
may fall out, causing complete bald.
ness. The most dangerous result oi
the use of borax, however, is its power
of producing kidney disease, or of con-
verting slight disorder of the kidneys
into a fatal malady.

LINCOLN'S KINDNESS OF HEART.

Here is an incident related by Mr..
Speed: Lincoln had the tenderest
heart for any one in distress, whether
man, beast or bird. Many of the gen.
tie and touching sympathies of his ma
ture, which fowered so frequently and
beautifully in the humble citizen at
home, fruited in the sunlight of the
world when he had place and power.
He carried from his home on the prai-
ries to Washington the same gentleness
of disposition and kindness of heart.
Six gentlemen-Hemgone, Lincoln,
Baker, Hardin, and two others whose
names I do not now recall-were rid
ing along q country road. We were
strung along the road, two and two to-
gether. We were passing through
thicket of wild plum and apple trees.
A viloent wind storm had just occur
red. Lincoln and Hardin were behind.
There were two young birds by the
roadside too young to fly. They had
been blown from the nest by the storm.
The old bird was futtering about and
wailing as a mother ever does for her
babes. Lincoln stopped, hitched his
horse, caught the birds, hunted the nest
and placed them in it.
The rest of us rode on to creek,
and while our horses were drinking
Hardin rode up.
"Where is Lincoln" asked one.
"Oh, when I saw him last he had
two little birds in his hand hunting for
their nest"
In an hour perhaps he came. They
laughed at him. He said with much
emphasis:
"Gentlemen, you may laugh, but I
could not have slept we'll tonight if I
had not saved those birds. Their cries
would have have rung in my ears"

A MEMBER WHO SAW 1T.

In the Wisconsin legislature of three
or four years ago, there was certain
member who had been elected by the
Grangers with the understanding that
he should vote against anything which
partook of the nature of O monopoly,
trust or combine, and favor about
everything which didn't. Certain par
ties wanted to dam a certain stream,
and certain other parties were opposed
to it. Each had its lobbyist, and the
opposition got hold of the Granger
member first. They stuffed him full of
figures as to the acreage of land which
must be overflowed,. and financial loss
to farmers, and gave an estimate that
the slack-water would increase the
death-rate along the stream so per
cent. When the lobbyist for the mill
dam got the ear of the member, he
was very ungraciously received ; but
he proceeded to say:
II don't deny that our dam will
raise the water and food some land
perhaps the 800 acres claimed. In
summer time the slack-water may also
add triAe to the sick list; but, sir,
what inspires the opposition ?"
"Public spirit for public good, l
believe"
"Does it? Have they made you
believe any such nonsense as that? ?
Can't you see through the gauze which
wells their efforts ?"
"Is there any-any trickery here ?"
"Is there ?" Dead loads of it, sir,
and wonder that you haven't discov-
cred it. These parties own big cat
tail swamp half a mile above where
the dam is to be. Our water will
cover the swamp. They have discoA-
cred a way to mix cat-tail fuzz and
geese feathers together to make feath-
er beds, and have patented the idea
and propose to bull the market and
run one-half the geese of America out
the country"
"No!"
"That's the scheme; and even while
keeping it as quiet as they could,
enough has leaked out to boost the
price of goose oil 80 per cent"
"Why, it's monopoly"
"That's what it is-the biggest kind
of monopoly-a corporation without
a soul. Why, you can't buy goose
bone now for less than 25 cents, and
quill toothpicks will soon be a nickel
a piece" ,
III SELL see. The scoundrels !
Well, you shall have my vote and
influence, and I thank you for setting
me right. I might have played right
into their hands the wretches,"
And he not only voted for the bill (;
but worked for it and secured its pass
age, and the opposition could never
get his ear for denials or explanations.

FICTION AND FACT.

There is rarely circumstance or
character invented by the imagination
that does not find its parallel in real
life. A year or more ago writer de.
scribed in a story the adventures and
vicissitudes of an erring lad who ran
away from home to follow the sea.
The tale was pure fiction and the au.
thor invented for his young sailor a
name unlike any he had ever heard.
Soon after the story was published,
it's author received a pathetic letter
from a sorrowing mother, saying that
the sailor boy of the story was her only
son, and begging for his address.
"Tell him." she wrote, eff he will
only come home, 1 will forget and
forgive all the past. 1 am alone in the
world, and if my dear son will but re-
turn to me, I will be happy again."
1t was hard to write to this poor
mother that the sailor boy of the
story, whose name, adventures and
life so closely resembled her sons, was
but creature of the imagination.

Judgment before condemning man.
ga passenger train was pulling into
the station of a small town. The
driver had seen many years of contin-
uous service on that particular bit OF
line, and had never failed to stop his
engine at certain point.
"One day a great celebration was
held in the town, and when that train
came in, the line ahead of the point
where the engine always stopped was
crowded with people. No one feared
being run over, so great was the conf
dence in the drivers ability to stop his
engine at particular spot.
"But, alas on this day the heavy
train was not stopped, but continued
it's course, running over woman, who,
hampered with baby in her arms, was
not agile enough to get out of the way.
At first the crowd stood aghast; and
then great wave of indignation broke
forth against the man who had done
this thing.
"The driver stood on his step, white
and speechless-helpless against the
fury of the mob.

TILLMAN WAS NOT SATISFIED
This story is told on Senator Till man
"When he had his seat assigned
him on the floor he found his nearest
neighbor to be Senator Irby, of South
Carolina. The two are out, and have
not spoken for long time in pass
ing. 1t made Tillman feel very un.
comfortable to sit so nearIto his enemy.
and he asked to be changed on the
ground of visual affliction, for every
one knows that Senator Tillman is
blind of one eye. His plea was that
he could not see as well, sitting where
he did, as he could from another seat
The next day he found himself assign
ed to desk on the other side of lrby
there simply having been reversal Of
positions.
81 asked to be changed" said Sena
tor Tillman to the acting official of the
senate, "because I could not see from
that desk, and you have only changed
me to the other side of Senator lrby.'
"Yes, sir" said the floor official, 81
did not suppose you could see him or
the side on which you are blind, and
so changed you accordingly"
Tillman gave snort Of contempt
and picked out desk which is not ap
proximately as desirable as the first
one was.-Washington Post.

Then the blood began to ooze from q

struck him.
Another moment and the door opened,
and with anxious face Chester strobe
into the room. "You haven't killed

"Pick him up, and we'll get him on

bore him to the bedroom. Here they
bathed the wound with cold water and

the lieutenant began to revive and look
about him.
"Who struck me?" he family asked.
"Your shotgun fell on your head, but
I threw you down, Jerrold. I'm sorry
I touched you, but you're lucky 1t was

A 'PossUM HUNTING HoG.-Josh
Crawford, an old colored man living
on farm five miles from Birmingham,
Ala, has a freak of nature in the shape
of razor-back hog, for which he has
refused S1OO cash. The hog is natu-
ral-born 'possum hunter, and Uncle
Josh has no less than SO hides this sea-
son as evidence of his hogs prowess.
He was in Birmingham recently with
his skins and razor-back, which follows
him round like dog. The old man
tells very simple story ofhow he dis
covered the animals queer instinct.
One night while going through the
woods he discovered the hog under a
tree grunting furiously and rearing up
against the trunk. Approaching the
tree and looking up he discovered a
big, fat 'possum. Having a similar
experience several times, he came to
the conclusion that the hog was nat
ural-born 'possum hog, and, making a
pet of it, he took it to the woods fire.

WHAT CoNKL1NG THOUGHT OF
THURMAN.-Senator Roscoe Conkling
was once addressing the senate in an
impassioned manner and seemed to
direct his remarks to Senator Thurman.
At length the later got irritated,
"Does the senator from New York, "
he roared, "expect me to answer him
every time he turns to me?"
For moment Mr.. Conkling hesita-
ted, and everybody expected terrible
explosion. Then, with an air of exquis-
ite courtesy, he replied:
"When 1 speak of the law 1 turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussul-
man turns toward Mecca. I turn to
him as I do to the English common
law, as the worlds most copious foun-
tain of human jurisprudence"
The usually decorous senate broke
into storm or applause and the Thur
man eye moistened q little. 1t is ever
a pleasure to be complimented, but to
be complimented as lawyer by Ros-
coe Conkling-tbat was praise indeed.
The two statesmen were the best Of
friends and greatly enjoyed each 9th
