You Taste With Your Throat.

The idea that the sense OF taste mas
sny connection with the thr at appears
peculiar at first thought. We have been
possessed with the notion that the
sense Ct taste lies in the tongue anu
the nalate. We all speak OF fine pal
ate. and many persons express aston
ishment that they can enjoy delcacy
as well after having had plate fitted
to their mouths by a dentist as they
could before they paid visit to that
clever gentleman.
The sense Of taste is net confined TO
the tongue and the palate. but is more
widely distributed. You taste also with
the epiglottis. that little valve at the
base of the tongue, and the ldrynX. TO
which the epi@lottis acts us an assist
ant. also takes part in the process.
Concerning the palate, ii is noteworthy
that we taste with the soft part, which
is at the back of the III DUth. but MT
with the hard or front palate. That eX-
plains the mystery of the dental plate
The tonsils do nothing for the sense Of
taste nor does the uvula.

What the Indian Eats.

The typical Indian home Of today

sometimes corral. AS Il general rule,
they live in sQualor, yet many Indians

But the ordinary Indian eats meats
largely of questionable character. He

While the rivalry between Patti and

Theater Audiences.

Have you ever noticed that theater
audiences always assemble in the re-
verse order to the prices OF admission?
The cheapest seats are occupied first
and the most expensive ones last.
Those who go to the extreme back
upper perches are always on hand be
fore the doors are open and wait with
heroic patience to be admitted. Those
who occupy the seats a little lower in
position and little higher in price
come next. Then the balcony begins
to fill from the back downward. from
10 cents a seat in the back rows,
through 81 and $3.50 to s. down in
front.
On the orchestra floor is the same
condition of affairs, those who occupy
the most expensive seats entering just
before the curtain rises or shortly after
it is up. while the boxes are usually
not occupied until the first act is well
under way.-New York Herald.

suddenly shot out of the darkness he

other men, and they speedily bound
Jack hand and foot.

"Oh, nothing much" the man with

is that you will have to take a bath in

meaning now and, aghast with horror,
