Did YOU ever hear how tomato catclup

street commission man.
His friend, the grocer, said he never had
heard about il.
We'll. this Is how it was" began the
commission man. There lived in Massa-
chusctts many years ago an old woman
who devoted nearly all of her time TO rec

around her part of the country of being
able To make better plum marmaladc and
richer preserves than anybody else. Every
once in awhile she would come out " ith

thing like that, though. Well, one day
she went out To her sewing circle, and
oh, forgot 10 tell yuu->hc WAS very fond
OF pets, and had Il PAIR of monkeys, a par
rot or 50, some white mice and rabbits, u
dove and everything like that, ana she
kept them in "A room adjoining the rDom
where she made her culinary experiments.
Well, on thi, particular day she went to
the sowing circle, leaving open the door
which led from her experimenting ROOM
into her mCnagCric.
The two monkeys discovered the door
open and went on an exploring expedition
TO the experimenting room. They saw ON
table dishpan full of nice, ripe tomatoes,
and while one of the monkeys was sitting
on the edge of the table examining the
vegetables his mate became hilarious and
pushed him into the pan. The result was
that by the time the monkey scrambled
out every tomato was smashed so thorough.

that did the pushing then picked up "a jug
which happened to be full of vinegar and
emptied about half of it into the pan.
Then it smashed some green peppers that
happened to be lying on the table and put
them also in with the tomatoes. The
broom handle was brought into play as a
mixer.
'When the sewing circle had fixed up u
couple of quilts for the poor, the old wom-
an came home and lost no timo i'm getting
to the experimenting room. Sne opened
her mouth so wide and quick when she
saw the mixture in the dishpan that her
false teeth came loose and she nearly swal-
lowed the upper set. She dipped her finger
into the stuff and tasted 1t. No sooner
had the finger reached her mouth than she
shouted Eureka so loud that one of the
white mice had the headache and the par
rot began to disturb things orally. Well,
there is little left TO tell. She improved
upon the mixture, and that's how catchup

The Sense OF Touch.

The question has been asked, (Which of
our senses is most capable of improve
menty" An English scientist says prob
ably the sense of touch.
Strictly speaking the senses are capable
rather Of alteration and specialization than
Of improvement. For instance, those who
have much TO do in the open air become
immensely long sighted, but this is alb
normal, and the increased superiority in
one direction is lost by inferiority in an
other.
But there are many trades which afford
abundant evidence that the sense of touch,
at any rate In certain directions, can be
largely developed. For instance, the con-
noisseur of china relies much more on an
almost imperceptible difference of feeling
In the texture than on his eyes to discover
the genuinoness of any piece.
The blind beggar can very soon discern
between different metals merely by the
sense of touch and, in fact, the education
of the blind affords a remarka BILE instance
OF the development of this sense. In Ger
tain manufactures the skilled workman
knows entirely 10y this sense when mix
ture has reached the proper degree of solid
ity or material is of the right texture,
and he receives very high wages by virtue
of this sense alone.
On the other hand, the sense of smell
and the sense Of taste are each of them
blunted and lose their finer perception
II the same object is frequently presented
to them. In every case, however, IL is not
the general sense of touch that Is DIM
proved, but a special excellence of tho
sense.-New York Lcdsar

As may be noticed at the head OF this

that nothing good can exist IN thatcoun-
