Human Body !:
The tip Of the tongue possesses. the
most perfect sense of touch. The finest
hair Isl felt upon its surface, and even
when fingers fail to ascertain the quail
ties of certain bodies. contact with the
tongue Immediately recognizes them. The
relative ,sensibility Of various parts Of the
body is best measured by means Of 4 pair
Of compasses. the points Of which are
tipped with cork. 80. ~ ..,...st.,, = III.
The tip Of the tongue can distinguish
two distinct Impressions when the COM
pass points are only half 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; fore
head ten lines: back of the hand, Il
lines; chest 20 lines; back and thigh, 80
lines. ~ @.-.% ''.r 49,.
If, however, this experiment is repeat
ed with. pair Of compasses capable by
slight pressure Of pricking, it will be
found that there is no corresponding diff
ference between the parts in. their sensi-
bility to pain. On the contrary, in places
where the sense or touch Is most keen,
the sense Of pain Is in the first instance
at least deadened, and the parts mose
callousS in u discriminating the double
touching points are by no means the least
alive to- the sensation excited by their
pressure. y f4.s..,

The best woy to cook an egg Is to put
1t into cold water and stand on . hot
stove. Just before the water boils the
egg is "soft boiled" and the white and
yolk will be found to be evenly cooked.
This manner Of cooking allows the
heat to permeate the egg evenly and
does not bring the whitesto ! leathery

CRONJE'S SURRENDER.


The Brave Boer Commander compli-
mentsd by Lord Roberts on His
Brave Stand, But His Impassive
Face Exhibited No Sign of the
Struggle Going On Within.
PAARDEBERG, Tuesday. Feb. H.
Majuba days a. m. The British camp
was awakened by the continued rattle
Of rife fire at daybreak ana the news
arrived that the Canadians. while build
ing a trench quite close to the enemy,
were fuslladed at a range OF fifty yards.
The Canadians calamity worked for
ward and occupied the edge Of the
trenches along the river, entirely ehfila-
ding the Beers. This movement was
followed oy a cessation Of the fire, ex-
cept an OCCASIONAL solitary shot.
Suddenly q regiment stationed on the
crest of hill perceived a white flag and
burst into cheers, the first announcing
the surrender OF General Cronje.
shortly afterwards note reached
Lord Robarts, bringing tIdlngs of the
Beers unconditional surrender, General
Prettyman was sent to accept the SUR
render!
At about Z o'clock a small group Of
men appeared in the distance crossing
the plain towards headquarters. The
latter being apprised of General cron-
je's approach, Lord Roberts went to the
front In the modest cart in which he
sleeps and ordered a guard Of the Sea-
forths to line up. A group Of horsemen
then approached. on General Pretty
mans right rode an elderly man, clad
in a rough short overcoat, wlde-brlm-
med hat, ordinary tweed trousers and
brown shoes. 1t was the redouB:able
Cronie. His face was burned almost
black and his curly beard was tlnged
with gray.
Lord Roberts walked to and fro In
front Of the cart until the Boer general
arrived, when the British commander
advanced gravely and kindly saluted
the Boer commander. He then motioned
General Cronje to 4 seat in a chair
which had been brought for his accom-
mediation, and the two officers con-
versed through an interpreter. Cronje's
face was absolutely impassIve. exhibit
ing no sign of his inner feelings.
Lord Roberts was surrounded by his
stan when General Prettyman address
ing the field marshal, said:
"ccommandant Cronje. sir"
The commandant touched his hat in
salute, and Lord Roberts saluted in re-
turn. The whole group then dIsmount-
ed and Lord Roberts stepped forward
and shook hands with the Boer COM
mander.
"You made a gallant defense sir

to the vanqulshed Boer leader,

TOLEDO, Ohio. Feb. 2s-Twenty
inches Of snow has fallen In Toledo and
northwestern Ohio since early this
morning, and the prospects are that
there will be more than two feet on tho

iness In Toledo was practically at
standstill to-day. only three lines OF
cars being kept open, and this by the
united efforts Of the entire force OF the
trolley system. This evening two OF
these lines were abandoned. The
storm compelled a shut down In the oil

day. with the storm comes scarcity

small stone shelters and exposed to a
CALLING shell and rife Hre, and through-
out they maintained the most excellent
spirits.
"Tuesday General Barton, with two
battallons of the Sixth Brigade ana the
Dublin Fuslllers, crept about mile and
a half down the banks Of Che river and
ascended an almost perpendlcular cliff
OF about 500 feet, assaulted and carried
the top of Pleter's hill. The hill. to n
certain extent, turned the enemy's left

Norcott, and the Eleventh Brigade. Col.

der command of General Warren, as
saulted the enemy's position, which was
magnificently carried by the South

took about sixty prisoners and scatter

certainly are much less than they
