Brains in Their Finger Tips

1t has been reported that the gray mat
ter brain cells of perception have been dis
sected out of the finger tips of the blind.
Standing point up beneath all the ridges
so plainly seen with magnifying glass on
the skin of the inside of the fl niger ends
are the so-called corpuscles of Pacini,
which are arranged in the exact semblance
of the keys of a piano, and are said by
Meissner to crepitate and give forth diff
ferent sound in every age Of each person.
This Pacinian corpusce, which contains
within its lining membranes a nerve trunk,
an artery and vein, lines all the tactile
surfaces of the body, particularly the inner
fingers and thumb tips.
A medical man recently assisted In an
autopsy on a person blind from birth. and
he sought to discover by scalpel and mi
croscope the secret of the extraordinary
delicate touch the blind man had acquired
during life. Sections perhaps a sixteenth
Of an inch thick were carefully sliced off
the inner surfaces of the index and middle
fingers of the right hand. Under a high
power these showed instead of a single
nerve trunk and artery and vein of the
average man most complex and delicate
ramification Of nerve filaments, dainty
and minute nerve twigs in immense num-
ber branching from the main stem. Through
constant use the finger tips of the blind
acquire this unusual development. with
more and more perfect performances Of
function.-The Microscope.

How Sugar Is Made White

The way in which sugar is made per-
fectly white. it is said, was found out in
a curious way. A hen that had gone
through clay mud puddle, went with
her muddy feet into sugar house. 1t
was observed by someone that wherever
the tracks were the sugar was whiten-
ed. This led to some experiments.
The result was the wet clay came to be
used in refining sugar 1t is used in
this way: The sugar is put into wooden
jars shaped as you see the sugar loaves
are. The large ends are upward The
smaller ends have a hole in them. The
jar is filled with sugar, the clay put over
the top and kept wet The moisture
goes down through the sugar and drops
from the hole in the small end of the jar
This makes the sugar perfectly white

A TANDEM AT LAST

Augustus was a nice young man, in style
quite up to date;
Considered an authority in fashions new
and late;
And in the course of time he did, as all
young men will do,
He met and loved charming girl whose
name was Helen Drew.
Augustus had wheel, ofcourse, and often
went to ride;
He thought he was in Paradise with Helen
by his side,
Until one day his sweetheart said: "As sure
as I'm alive,
My wheel goes just as fast as yours, and
mines '95'
Augustus nearly had fit; how such things
must amaze!
This dreadful breach of etiquette would
haunt him all his days!
And to his love that night he vowed, by
all his hopes of heaven,
bought '97.
Both lovers lost their tempers and some
bitter words were said;
He swore she had no feeling and she
wished that she were dead:
But finally they compromised, forgot their
their words at random.
Got married and exchanged their wheels
for '97 tandem. New York Sun.

4 QUESTION Of MANHOOD


A county Official not q hundred miles
from Los Angeles said not long ago that
there Is no use in fighting a man like
Huntington, as he has too much money;
1t is better to give him what he wants
and ask no questions. The aforesaid
official is an old soldier and fought to
sustain the honor Of the government and
helped free the slaves. Then the watch
word of the country was Free soil and
free men," 1t was right IN Line with all
the declarations of the American people
from the time of the landing Of the Pill
grim fathers down to the date Of the
civil war;
First 1t was freedom to worship
God. In 1776 1t was for freedom from
tyranny. In 1860 1t was freedom for the
slaves. Yet today the descendants of
the men who fought and died for prin-
ciple are saying we had better submit
to tyranny and make the most of 1t.
Is patriotism dead? Is there no feeling
in the hearts Of such men that they owe
something to humnaity today as we'll
as their ancestors did hundred years
ago?
The black slaves of the south were
princes In comparison to the white
slaves Of the north today. Sweat shop
factories, coal mines, department stores
and all the huge aggregation of capital
put the screws onto the working people
as they were never put on in the south.
The southern planter fed and clothed
his slaves and housed them, but the mil
lionaire of today pays his men what they
have earned and there his obligation
stops. If his men are out of work he is
sorry, but he cannot help it, as he has
more goods now than he can sell. He
Is sorry, but says he is not his brother s
keeper and every one must look out for
himself 1t Is seldom that he will
divide the profits and thus allow his
men a chance.
The idea is fast taking root in the
minds of the people that rich man can
do what he wants, and hence the remark
above quoted. The people have rights
that the corporations are bound to re-
spect, and the people have the weapon in
their own hands. They can WELD it or
not, as they see fit.
1t is time, Americar freemen, that you
began to wake up. You have your bat
tie to fight; you cannot leave 1t for the
unborn generations. You must meet it
here and now. The time Is ripe. Take
the weapon Of freedom-the ballot
and
Strike for your affairs and your fires,
Strike for the green graves Of your sires,
God and your native land. &C. F. Z.

THE SUMMER HOSTESS
Outlines More of a Success in the
Country Than in the City

The country house party is sometimes
bit hard on the energetic woman who
has many social and domestic cares
all during the winter. But as rule her
summer festivities give her as much
pleasure as they give her guests, and
that is speaking most eloquently, if one
is to believe the enraptured letters and
verbal peans Of praise which one hears
from the guest of the average country
house. 1t often happens that the woman
whose winter entertainments are voted
dull and heavy, and whose town house
is not famous for pleasure or popularity
makes the most charming of hostesses
when in her sylvan villa Why this is
so no one has yet satisfactorily ex-
planned. But the fact remains, and diff
fidence and formality, dullness and cold
ness, which reigned, in her town house
are banished from "Hill Top" or ocean
View" One of the features of country
entertaining is always dinner giving.
The little dinner for eight or ten, at
round, flower-decked mahogany tables.
is charming way to cement pleasant
friendships and enliven the evenings,
which may pail after a. series of cards.
| winter dances and endless strumming
on mandolin. The hostess of this sum-
mer will use flowers generally. In eve-
rything except discomforts the guests
must be reminded of the glorious fact
that he or she is in the country, away
from the hurly-burly of town life. and
at peace, where brown brooks laugh and
flowers grow everywhere. For summer
table decorations we find that pale COL
ors will be used more than bright ones.
White and pink carnations, sweet peas,
tulips, geraniums, hydrangeas, iris and
other pallid blossoms will make the fes-
tive board sweet and fresh. For very
warm days the wise hostess will deck
her luncheon table-for dinners are not
hot weather fetes-with white, resting
in a bed of ferns and moss, or against
background of giant mignonete.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Orthodox Angels


A recent ecclesiastical incident has
developed what, it appears. is new
test of orthodoxy Perhaps most of us
feel that no addition of this sort was
needed to the stock already on hand
However that may be, reverend gen.
tleman from Syracuse has given to the
world a doctrine concerning angels
which he classes as among the things
necessary to be believed. Tt appears
that a wealthy parishioner of his had
placed in the church memorial window
the design of which included three an
gels One of these was pictured without
wings. The rector entered vehement
protest. A wingless angel was not an
"orthodox angel" There was no tell
ing what alterations of theology might
result from the hebdomidal contempla-
ton of such visual instruction in heresy
and schism. The issue became a vital
one to the distressed clergyman's mind
His convictions were not shared by his
vestrymen, and it finally became neceS-
sary to make appeal to the bishop. Alas!
he was q broad" bishop, and decided
that it was not a subversion of the
faith to depict an angel without wings
Whether the scanadlized rector will
continue his ministry in a church whose
very windows are. in his view, OF dgi
bious credal character, or whether he
has allowed himself to be reassured by
the episcopal deliverance, we are not
informed.
1t is probable that most persons
would agree off-hand with the Syracuse
theory of what might be termed the nat
urai history Of angels. No doubt the
general impression concerning them is
that wings are an invariable part OF
their bodily equipment.-Leslies Weekly

A SUNDAY Pastime

Occupation for the children on wet Sun
days is often a difficulty, since it is not al
ways advisable to have the same games
and toys for week days. Letters will pro-
vide many suitable pastimes, and a good
way of employing children on a Sunday
afternoon when they cannot go out to
church is to make map of the Holy Land
on the dining table or on measured off
part of the floor.
A small map. such as Is often found at
the end of children's Bibles, will do for
the model and the names of the various
towns and villages, of interest are spet out

THE WORLD MADE NEW

The world is SO old, so old, alas!
The skeleton years show through,
But it takes only a smile and a tear
To make it all over new.
A tear drops down from a wee gray cloud
That happens to hide the SUM-

And the miracle is half done.
Then smile keeps dimpling in and out,
Till the shy green things peep through,
And this is the way, year after year.
