Tests Indicating That the Sense

Tests Indicating That the Sense
Does Not Exist.
The University of Iowa has made some
recent experiments which would almost
seem to prove that the sense OF taste; as
we know it, is produced merely by q com
bination of the senses Of sight, feeling
and smell. The theory often advanced by
smokers that cigar has no taste when
one cannot see the smoke receives here a.
startling scientific confederation. The
persons tested had their eyes covered and
noses closed, and while in this state
scarcely any one Of them could tell the
difference between weak tea and quanine.
Pork was taken for turkey and vice
versa. A widely varying list Of trials
gave such surprising results that 1t was
finally concluded that the only sensations
the tongue and palate knew were these
OF sweet. sour. bitter and salt, and prob
ably that the two. sweet and bitter,
would almost cover the range.
One Of the parties submitted to the test
was famous cook. who Is noted for her
delicate sense OF taste. She called chop-
ped raw potato acrons, boiled pumpkin
was something sweet and fiat. crushed
pears were berries. roast pork was boiled
beef. shredded turnip was cabbage.
scraped apple was grape Juice. and she
said that the horseradish she had never
tasted
The application OF all this Is obvious.

How an Office Boys Economy Got
His Employer Into Trouble.
That makes me think, speaking of stu
pidity, of a dilemma a man / know is
In partly because Of his own indiscretfon
and partly because of-well, let me tell
you. The man is married and he has
a wife who understands perfectly how
to make him toe the mark. He spends
all Of his time, let me say, in that pro-
cess of toeing. Now the wife went away
last month to spend a few weeks with
her mother in Cincinnati The husband
decided that his health imperatively de-
manded trip to FIT. Monroe OF course
he didn't want his wife to be worried
about his health-his motives were really
noble-so he arranged to keep her In ig-
norance of the trip. Accordingly he wrote.
a number of letters-one for each day of
his absence-and intrusted them to his
office boy to mall They were lovely let
ters-all about how lonely he was, how
dreary his evenings were, how hard he
was working, how early he went home
nights-you know the kind Of letters tus-
bands write to their wives. Now, the
Office boy is creature of extreme sagac-
ity. He was not wholly In his employers
confidence. The employer is too wise
tor that. He merely mentioned incidental
ly that the letters were to go one at a
time. The Office boy Is economical He
calculated that one large letter Is less
expensiy1eo post than seven small ones.
SO he put the seven letters into one large
envelope and sent them off. The wife
came home unexpectedly So did the hus-
band. His health improved maryelously
after telegram his wife sent him. He
is toeing the mark more. carefully than
ever these days. but the economical office
boy Is in search Of employment

POPLAR CITY. H., April 12.-The peo-
pie here are all talking of the remarkable
case Of Mrs. j. s. Murdoch who has been
brought from sickness Of long duration
to good health. They regard 1t as moth
ing short of a miracle. But short time
ago they knew her as frail help
less, suffering woman. Now they see in
her a most wonderful change. Her suf-
fering is over. she is rapidly regaining
her lost strength and she Is able to help
herself. Life was formerly a burden,
now 1t Is pleasure to her. Mr.. Muir
dock, speaking of the case said:
my wife was for four years unable
to raise her hands to her head and could
not dress or undress herself without aid
She was In constant misery. Nothing
that she took for her trouble helped her,
until one day / brought home two boxes
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, which had been
highly recommended by persons who had
cured themselves of kidney diseases with
1t. After she had taken the first box
she was able to raise her hands to her
head and twist her hair. She is able to
dress herself and perform household du-
ties, and life has again taken on a bright
hue for her. 1t is certainly a miracle,
and Dodd's Kidney Pills are responsible
for it,
Every form of Kidney Disease is per-
manently cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills
This great remedy has never been baf-

have been given up by the doctors to

and the others. including three women,
were placed on marks down as low as
twenty-five yards.
When the shoot began, at 9 o'clock this
morning. the weather conditions were
anything but favorable for swift work
at the traps. The sky was overhung with
clouds, and a half gale move from the
southwest, directly facing the shooting
box. Three sets of traps surround the
box like a clover leaf, and the effect Of
the wind made the flight of the birds
more than ordinarily difficult for the
marksmen. On traps No. i and the
fight of the birds was down the wind

second trap, No. 2. the majority OF the

FURNACE HEAT.
Effects Upon Growing Hense Plants
May Be COunteracted.

May Be COunteracted.
New York Tribune
The dry atmosphere of the ordinary fur
nace-heated house is. great obstacle In
the way OF the culture of plants This
may be overcome in a meaure by placing
pans Of water about in the cellar or on
pipes. The kitchen is the best place for
plants, as the air is kept moist by the
steam from tea-kettle and cooking.
One woman who became discouraged
when trying to grow house plants In the
winter turned her attention to the smaller
varieties of vegetables, such as lettuce
rad1shes and parsley. She chose a sunny
window in her sewing room, which she
fitted with boxes one above the other and
In this way has produced winter garden
pleasing to the eye and palate. She says
she picks the crisp lettuce and pulls the
radishes with the greatest satisfaction
She Is now trying to raise strawberries
She set the plants out In November, and
has carefully watered and tended them,
and expects to have the ripe fruit shortly
The berries are already in evidence.
One Of the easiest plants to grow Is the
Chinese lily, which blooms in a month
from the time of starting. The bulb should
be set firmly In the dish of pebbles or
shells, and the dish filled with water to
just touch the bottom of the bulb. The
bulb Is apt to rot If covered too much 1t
will be but a few days before the green
shoots will appear. The f1ower-stalk will
develop rapidly If the bulb Is placed In
the sun part of each day. The plant
will be in full bloom In from twenty-five
to thirty days.
Another attractive plant for growing in
water is the crocus. The bulbs are small
and require only layer Of sand about an
inch deep in the f1ower-pot. Plant the
bulb In the sand about half it's depth and
keep the sand. not the bulb. covered with
water
A number Of hyacinths planted in the
same way, crowded together in dish.
make a thing of beauty. A very effective
window can be made with callas treated
In like manner
A plant little appreciated is the balm
geranium. 1t thrives with little care,
though sun and moisture are necessary
Given southern window and water every
day. 1t will in tive years fill the window
with its delicate sprays of blossoms
A plant Of this variety was grown from
a slip taken from a buttonhole bouquet,
and In less than two years was Eve feet
high, and had great numbers Of flower
sprays upon it. This plant was in part
of the house which was not heated, but
had a southern window.
