The Leopard.slsysr.

A recent writer In Chambers's Jour.
nal gives an interesting reminiscence
Of his official experience In India. As
he sat outside his tent one day he
heard wild cries. and an orderly
dashed up. crying excitedly that wild
leopard had invaded the cavalry lines.
It had killed one horse and stampeded
hundred. and the sahib must come at
once. Fastening to the spot he found
the leopard dead OH the ground. sur
rounded by crowd of men, six or
seven Of whom were standing close
beside the body with naked swords in
their hapds and the staggering air OF
victors.
Only one Of the men did not swagger
and his sword was the only one which
had blood upon it. This man stood
aside while the others rushed up claim
ing to have slain the creature, and
only after they had finished speaking
stated quietly that he had killed 1t, as
it had killed his horse, and that they
had only come up after it was dead
They wished to share the reward Of
fered by the Government for killing
spectfully for an investigation, which
was promised.
But in conversat ton at the dinner
table that night it appeared that the
leopard was probably not wild beast
Mt all. but an escaped cheetah. or
trained hunting leopard, belonging to
the local judge. The next morning its
owner accompanied the colonel to the
lines, where he Immediately identified
the carcass in the presence of the regi-
ment. which stood drawn up waiting
for the award of the Government boun-
ty to be decided. Then he turned to
the colonel and said in an angry and
accusing voice, "Please order the men
who killed the leopard to fall out"
Only one man, Hazara Sing, came
forward out of all the previous claim
ants to the honor.
Are you the man who killed my
leopard?'' asked the Judge.
Yes" answered lie. steadily. ''The
leopard came into the lines, leaped on
my horses back and began tearing its
throat open. l drew my sword and
cut 1t down with one blow. My horse

to the amazement of the listeners, who
had expected an outburst of wrath.

Location of Taste.

It Is generally accepted belief that
the sense of taste lies in the tongue
and the palate. People speak of fine
palate, and many persons express as
Constituent that they can enjoy a
delicacy as well after having had n
plate fitted to their mouths by n dem
list as they could before they paid n
visit to that clever gentleman. But it
sppears from observations made by
an Italian doctor that the sense of
taste is not confined to the tongue and
palate, but extends down the throat.
You taste also with the epiglottis,
shat little valve Mt the base of the
tnngue, and the larynx, to which the
epigiottis acts as an assistant, also
takes part in the process. Concerning
the palate, it is noteworthy that we
taste with the soft part, which is a the
BACK of the mouth, but not with the
hard Tor fronD palate that explains
che mystery of the dental plate.-Chi-
