MOST SENSITIVE POINT.
To be continued.

The tip of the tongue possesses the
most perfect sense Of touch. The fin
est hair is felt upon its surface, and
even when the fingers fail to ascertain
the qualities Of certain bodies
the tongue Immediately recognizes
them. The relative sensibility Of var
ious parts OF the body is best meas
Ured by means of a pair of cOmpasses,
thepoints of which are tipped with cork.
The tip of the tongue can distinguish
two distinct impressions when the
compass points are only half a line, or
the twelfth Of an inch, apart, the tip OF
the finger when they are one line apart
Other spots vary still more widely;
this distance at the lips is two lines;
the tip of the nose three lines; the
cheek, five lines; palm Of the hand, five
lines; forehead, ten lines; back Of the
hand, IA lines; chest, 20 lines; back
and thigh, 30 lines. If, however, this
experiment is repeated with a pair Of
compasses capable by slight pressure OF
pricking, it will be found that there is
no corresponding difference between
On the contrary, in places where the
sense of touch is most keen, the sense
OF pain is in the first instance at least
! deadened and the parts most callous in
| discriminating the double touching
points are by no means the least alive
to the sensation excited by their pres
sure. The tip of the tongue has %
times the tactile discrimination OF the
arm, but the arm is more sensitive to
sharp point, applied in moderate pres
sure to the skin, than either the tongue
or the finger, and is at least as alive tc
the presence of very light body,
hair or feather, drawn along the sur,
face. Curiously enough, the right
hand, which is more sensitive to touch
than the left, is less sensitive to TEN,
i perature. If the two hands are dipped
in two basins Of water at the samf
! temperature the left hand will feel tht
/! greatest sensation of heat.-Cincinnat

AN ANGLO-SAXON CITY.
Shanghai IS Under Control Of the Brit
ish and American Governments.

Shanghai the Chinese seaport con-
trolled by Great Britain, is the busiest
and wickedest city in the flowery
kingdom. if not in the world 1t is the
largest foreign settlement in the far
east. with 1902 British, 3S1 French, 35T
American, and 2052 of other white
Municipalities. In the British settle
ment. on the river front. are magnif-
cent public gardens, and adjoining
them is great park in which stands
the fine British consulate. The British
aud American concessions lying side
by side, are now one international set
Element, under the municipal control
OF board Of foreign consuls, but the
French colony, with its 3S1 inhabi-
tants, Will have none of the hated An
glO-SaZll and has its rues and its
quais ANA at its street corners the
well-knoWn features Of a street corner
in the Quarter Latin. Yet its streets
are thronged by motley crowd Of
Chinese, since it directly adjoins the
Chinese quarter.
All three foreign concessions were
originally intended for exclusive for
eign residence, but the Chinese who
1ed there during tne TAPPING riots dis
covered the advantage of foreign rule
and have now invaded every part of
the settlement TO the number of PCS
600, They appreciated the immunity
from mandarin eXtortion, and also
being amenable to a mixed court fer
their offenses. But the more hygienic
advantages of civilization do not ap-
peal to them. and, as one charming au-
thoress so apdy puts it, They swarm
and hive in the houses, overflow the
doors and windows, and are Chinese to
the last word Shanghai is the ref
uge and headquarters for all the Chi-
nese prOgressives and reformers.

LAST OF THE TAILOR-MADE GIRL.

The present year is remarkable for
several things, and among them for
the disappearance of the tailor-made
girl. A year or two ago she was in
great force among us, from the perfect
" made coat and skirt to the reach
me-down imitation which SO indiffer-
entity copied the great original. Last
wear the tailor-made girl had lost much
of her hold on us, and this year she
has disappeared altogether. She is no
longer smart in London and the coat
and skirt have vanished as utterly as
the crinoline from the west end of Lon
don. This year dress has been more
agressiveIy feminine than at any
period for the last five or six seasons
and diaphanous materials Of all sorts
and kinds, accumulated by frills and
chiffons, have taken the place Of the
hard outlines OF the cloth coat anC
skirt
The mannish girl has had her day il
London, though she may survive in the
country, and probably is to be found
on golf grounds and on the lawn tenni!
courts that are still left to us. Tha
we shall see when the exodus from
town brings another change into tn,
world of dress. But meanwhile 70
one thing we may be devoutly thank
full. The taiIor-made skirt has, hap
PLY. dragged down into oblivion tina
| unspeakable horror the sailor stray
hat. No woman who really respecte
herself and knew what was due to he
appearance, could ever have worn
sailor hat. Its hard outlines RUNE
the finest profile and only the yer
young could bear its harsh and rigi
severity. The tailor-made girl wa
charming while she lasted and v
shall always think kindly Of her 10

THE EMPRESS DOWAGER.
Mrs. Conger Was Pleased With the
Much Discussted Woman.

The true character Of the empress
which complicate the Chinese puzzle.
Her portrait has been painted in all
the hues of the rainbow, the darker
shades predominating A very favor
able view of her disposition is to be
found in a letter from Mrs. Conger,
the wife of the United States minister
at Pel1in Mrs Conger visited the do
wager empress, together with the wives
of the other ministers. She was charm
ed with her hostess, who certainly did
her best to please. What ever hatred
of the foreign devils the dOWager
empress may have been cherishing in
her heart found no expression in her
bright and happy says Mrs. Conger.
Her face was aglow with good will
There was no trace of cruelty to be
seen. In simple expressions she well
coined us. but her actions were full OF
freedom and warmth. She arose and
wished us well. She reached both
hands to each lady, and said, with
much enthusiastic earnestness, One
family, all one family She was very
cordial and when tea was passed TO us
she stepped forward and tipped each
cup Of tea to her own lips. She took a
SIP, then lifted the cup on the other
side to our lips, ana salu again, ono
family, all enc family " The events
of the last two months have probably
somewhat shaken Mrs. Conger's conf
dence in the sincerity of the empress
dowager and in her methods of treat
ing a family"

perhaps he had been injured or killed

Zone evening" he says, when was

touch the tea-urn, which was boiling
merrily. 1t was an early taste for
bronzes, l suppose; but l was resolute
about it. My mother babe me keep my
fingers back; I insisted on putting
them forward. Ny nurse would have
taken me away from the urn, but my
mother said, Let him touch it, nurse"
