ONLY ONE AT A TIME.
Odd Experiment Showing the Sensa
tion Of Taste.

Odd Experiment Showing the Sensa.
tion Of Taste.
You may try an cdd experiment in
regard to taste sensations by placing
simultaneously on different parts of
the tongue two substances of marked
ly different flavors-say, sugar and
salt. You will not taste them both at
the same time, nor as mixture, but
they will alternate back and forth;
you will taste first the sweet and then
the salt, and the sweet again, and then
the salt, as sense perception jumps
back and forth between the two. 1t is
really very curious and illustrates the
fact that one cannot possibly taste
more than one thing at any given mo-
ment.
Just as it is impossible to perceive
two tastes at once. SO likewise you
canno. distinguish two different smells
at the same instant. You may test
this by making two cornucopias of lef-
ter paper and placing the large end of
each of them over some strong-scent-
ed substance-say, peppermint and a
weak solution of ammonia, contained
in a couple of wine glasses. Then put
the small ends of the cornucopias into
your nostrils and notice the effect.
You will smell, not both together. but
the ammonia and peppermint alter
nately, fluctuating back and forth from
one to the other.

Edison's Theory of x.Rays.

Mr. Edson's experiments with X
rays and with radium have convinced
him that radioactive substances are
not sources of energy but are rendered
fiuorescent by the action of some hith-
erto undetected ether vibration or ray.
The ordinary electric arc. when raised
to an extremely high temperature,
gives off ray which renders oxalate
of lithium highly fuorescent. "My the
ory of radio-activity." says he, lis that
the rays which the new elements emit
are set up in the same way, the sub
stances being rendered fluorescent by
some form of ether-vibration which is
undoubtedly all-pervading. but which
has not yet been isolated or measured,
and which may have some extra-plan-
etary origin. To accept any other the
ory is to declare ones belief in perpet-
ual motion, in getting something for
nothing"

Baggage smasher Defended.

The baggage smasher, who has been
bearing public condemnation for many
years and who has been cartooned and
Photographed as menace to anything
in the shape of trunk, has found a
defender in H. p. Dearing, general bag
gage agent of the Michigan Central
railroad.
At the convention of general passen-
ger agents in New Orleans the other
day Mr.. Dearing declared that the rail-
roads were to blame for eighty per cent
of the trunk smashing that has aroused
such general complaint. He summar-
lied the case of the baggage man
against the railroads as follows: "Un-
derpald help. no opportunity for pro-
motion. inadequate facilities, lack of
time In which to handle baggage. and
a too heavy baggage allowance"

For a Bad Back.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.-A great
many men in this neighborhood used
to complain of pains in the back. but
now scarcely one can be found who
has any such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mn is largely respon-
sible for the improvement for it was
he, who first of all found the remedy
for this Backache. He has recon-
mended it to all his friends and neigh.
bors, and in every case it has had
wonderful success.
MIR. Mill says:-
For many years I had been trou-
bled with my Kidneys and pains in
the small of my back. l tried many
medicines but did not derive any bene-
fit until last fail, when l bought a
dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After using them few days l began
to improve, my back quit aching and
l felt better and stronger all around.
81 will keep them in the house right
along for in my opinion they are the
best medicine in the market to-day,

The Spoiled child" usually makes

cause such youngster has its own
way about diet and eats and drinks

Il was always a delicate, spoiled
child and my parents used to let mo
drink coffee because l would cry for
it," says a Georgia young woman.
when l entered school my nervous
ness increased and my parents
thought 1t was due to my going to
school, SO they took me out again.
But l did not get any better and my
headaches got worse and weakened
me so that l was unfit for any duty.
Sometimes l would go whole day
without any other pourishment than
a cup of coffee.
LAST spring had a bad attack OF
the Grippe and when l recovered |
found that coffee nauseated me =
l could not drink 1t and even a few
swallows would cause terrible burn
ing in my stomach. 1t was at this
time that friend who had been much
benefited by the use of Postum sug-
gested that l try this food drink l
found 1t simply delicious and have
used it ever since and the results
speak for themselves. l have gained
IL pounds and my nerves are as
steady as any ones.
II consider myself well and strong
and l make it point now to take a
cup of Postum with a cracker or two
as soon as l come home from school
in the afternoon. Postum with crack
ers or a biscuit makes my luncheon.
1t certainly saved my life for
know coffee would have killed me IN

Eunnler Than the Funny Man.

A middle-aged paragrapher and all

ington with that outfit of press funny
men awhile ago has pretty sizable
crouch coming against some proof
reader or other attached to the news
paper for which he writes. He wrote
an entertaining and somewhat mel
low letter for his newspaper while
in Washington, in which he compared
the capital of thirty odd years ago
as he remembered it in his youth
with the Washington of to-day. In
the progress of this comparison he
made use of that somewhat frazzled
query, Where are the SHOWS of yes
terday?"
The comrositor set it up and the
proofreader let it ge. by him in this
form:

HE KISSED THEM BOTH.
General Grant Did Not Slight Either
Sister.

Will Carleton, author of Songs OF
Two Centuries" was speaking the 9TH
er day of his last interview with Cen
eral Grant. Il had seen him and met
him on various occasions" he said,
but this was the first time l had ever
had him to myself for half an hour. 1t
was at country railroad station where
we were both waiting for a train. A
more simple, quiet. undemonstrative
man in private conversation l never
saw. We talked of his famous trip
around the world, and compared data
concerning places where we had both
been. Especially was he struck with
Ayr, the birthplace of Burns, and with
two of burns nieces, the Misses Begg,
two elderly maiden ladies who lived in
a cosy cottage few miles from 'auld
Kirk Alloway,' and who were daugh-
ters of Burns sister. / had happened
to visit them Immediately after Grant
was there, and they were naturally en-
thusiastic about the great American
here When he went AVA said one OF
them to me confidentially, he kissed
my sister good-by. But when / laugh
lngly repeated this to the general. a
twinkle appeared in his eye, and he
said, quietly. L kissed both of them. ="
