How Flie. ARC Able to ra.t..

The proboscis of the fly and the
tongues of bees and ants are furnished
with numerous delicate hairs set in mi
mute pits. Thse are perhaps connected
with the organ of taste; but. though
the exact locality of this sense in in
sects is uncertain, we know that the
groups Of cells in the tongues of ami
mails called taste bulbs form IN part
the ends Of the organ of taste. These
vary in number, increasing in the high
er animals. They are very close and
exceedingly numerous in man, while
the tongue Of even the COW has some
$4,000 taste bulbs.
1t would be interesting to know
whether each special taste excites q
special group of nerves and that only,
thus corresponding to the auditory
nerves. These taste bulbs were dis
covered sin 1867. Each one consists Of
two kinds Of cells, one set forming an
outer protective covering. through an
opening in which project from five to
ten of the true taste cells. Though i'm
portant. they are not apparently an es-
sential part of the organ, for birds and
reptiles have none, but neither have
they keen sense of taste, except per-
haps the parrot.-Chambers Journal

A Letter to Mother.

"You promised mother q letter. Write
it now" is one of the notices on the
walls of the Nagasaki Home For Sea-
men, motto that, it is asserted, has
restrained more men from going wrong
than almost any other influence Of the
place. Wanderers over the globe are
not the only ones who need such re-
minder. Indeed they might be able to
give lessons in tilial duty to many who
have never realized how fortunate they
are that home and mother are not far
away, but near at hand.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Cool Soldier.

Remarkable for his self possession
even in the most trying moments of
battle was the famous Marshal MacMa-
hon. One day he was debating letter
to his secretary in the midst Of an ac-
ton when a shell from the enemy's
camp fell directly upon his tent and
exploded within few feet Pale with
fright, the secretary sprang up, leaving
his letter.
What's the matter?" asked the mar
shall
'"The SHE'LL" gasped the frightened
subordinate.
And what has the shell to do with
the letter you are writing? Go on with
your work, sir"

Bay Rum.

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves Of Pimento acris. Bay rum
Is procured by distillation and this in a
very simple manner. The leaves are
picked from the trees and then dried.
In this state they are placed in the re-
and the process of distillation is car
ried on. The vapor is then condensed
in the usual way and forms what is
known as bay OIL" very small guam
,tity of, which is required for each
puncheon of rum.

Cossack Customs,

Many queer customs and usages are
prevalent among the Cossacks. No man
changes his clothes on a Monday. On
Thursday no fat or flesh meat must be
picked or corEed. Wool is not spun
on holiday. A hen is always given
an uneven mlmber of eggs to hatch,
never an even number. Bones left from
dinner at funeral are thrown into
the river. and at the same meal no
one dare cut bread; it must always be
broken

A Poser.

Little Dorothy Perkins was usually a
very truthful child. When she was
not truthful. she was plausible
Coming in from her walk one morn
ing, she informed her mother that she
had seen a lion in the park.
No amount of persuasion or reason
ing wavered her statement one hairs
breadth, so at night, when she slipped
down beside her knee, her mother said
ASK God to forgive you for that tib,
Dorothy"
Dorothy hid her face for minute;
then she looked straight into her moth
er's eyes, with her own shining like
stars, and said, II did ask him, NAM
ma. dearest. and he said: Don't men
ton it, Miss Perkins. That big dog
has often fooled me. New York Her

improving ON Horse Power.

In Venezuela many years ago a
wealthy agriculturist was appointed
minister Of marine. Being a hard
worker, he asked at once for particn-
lars of the fleet. The secretary brought
him particulars about the only war
ship The details gave length. tonnage
and horse power. At this last the min
lister stopped the secretary and babe

ical. both as regards food and ability
to withstand fatigue

Apono,s ravorite Instrument.

Apollo was the old god of music, and
his favorite instrument, the Tyre, was
invented by Mercury. When the latter
was four hours old he found the shell
of tortoise and made it into q Tyre
with nine strings in honor of the nine
muses.. This instrument Mercury gave
to Apollo, who became a wonderful
player upon it. The Tyre was used by
the Greeks in otden times, and from it
was fashioned the harp.
