MANS MOST SENSITIVE POINT.
When the Tip of the Tongue In
Touched the Whole Body
Thrills.

The tip of the tongue possesses the
most perfect sense of touch. The finest
hair is felt upon its surface, and even
when fingers fail to ascertain the quail
tiles of certain bodies, contact with
the tongue Immediately recognizes
them. The relative sensibility of va
rious parts of the body is best meas
ured by means of pair of compasses,
the points of which are tipped with
cork. The tip of the tongue can dis
tinguish two distinct impressions when
the compass points are only half a line,
or the twelfth of an inch, apart, the
tip of the finger when they are one
line apart. Other spots, says scien-
tific exchange, 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; forehead, ten lines; back
of the hand, IA lines; chest, 20 lines;
back and thigh, 30 lines.
If, however, this experiment is re-
peated with a pair of compasses capa-
BILE by slight pressure of pricking, it
will be found that there is no CORE
spending difference between the parts
in their sensibility to pain. On the
contrary, in places where the sense OF
touch is most keen, the sense of pain
is in the first instance at least dead
ened, and the parts most callous in
discriminating the double touching
points are by no means the least alive
to the sensation excited by their pres
sure. The tip of the tongue has SO
times the tactiie discrimination OF the
arm, but the arm is more sensitive to
sharp point, applied with moderate
pressure to the skin, than either the
tongue or the finger, and is at least as
alive to the presence of very light
body, a hair, or feather, drawn along
the surface. Curiously enough, the
right hand, which is more sensitive t.
| touch than the left, is less sensitive t.
temperature. If the two hands arr
dipped in two basins of water at thu
same temperature the left hand vii
| feel the greatest sensation of heat.

In the discussion of terms OF peace
between Greece and Turkey. frequent
reference has been made to Turkeys
demand for the abolition of the capitu-
lations. These capitulations are the
provisions by which Greek subjects res
ident in Turkey share with the subjects
of other independent powers the right
to appeal from Turkish tribunals to
their own consular courts. There are
several million Greeks living in differ
emit parts of the Turkish empire, and
among them are many active business
men, and some of large means. Turkish
courts are notoriously oppressive and
corrupt, and it would be serious mat
ter to these millions of Greeks if they
were left without appeal from their
risdiction.-Youth's Companion.

come enthusiasts on such an easy and

however, a majority of them, aided and

can discover any means of getting the
road management entirely out Of the
hands of petty politicians, and of abol-
ishing the poll tax and the privilege
of working out the road tax, 1t will
accomplish more for good roads than
has been accomplished since the coun-

farmers began to inject little busi-
ness sense into road management. The
mcpkey-play that has been going on
for decades should be entirely abol-
ished, and a system OF management
based on common business principles
inaugurated that will result in some
thing Of real value. First, we should
build thoroughly good dirt roads, and
then keep them up. After we learn to
do this at a minimum Of expense we
can begin to surface them with some

81. James parochial school, where fre-
ouentlv she acted as q substitute teach
or. when she met Herman, who had
evidently been waiting for her After
a few words, Herman suddenly drew
the girl close to him and fired three
times. One bullet passed through her
brain. another tore of a finger on her
right hand, while the third missed the
girl altogether.
Herman became infatuated with Miss
Mulvell through hearing her play at
ST. James Catholic church, where she
was organist, and he had for long
time urged her to marry him. Miss
AluIyell had refused him repeatedly and
had told several of her friends q short
time ago that he had threatened TO
Kill her unless she married him. She
said she feared that she might meet
Herman, who followed her wherever she
went.
Herman had been a policeman for sew
eral years.

MUST BE OF GRANITE.
That Material Demanded for Cleveland
Public Building.


Washington, Feb. 2s.--With a hand
full of Republicans, aided by the Demo
Gratis, Representative Burton of Ohio
Yesterday gained complete control Of
the House, and forced an amendment
to the sundry civil bill requiring the
use Of granite in the construction Of
the public building at Cleveland, his
home town.
Chairman Hemenway of the appro-
priations committee was put to rout,
while the unusual spectacle was wit
messed of the presiding officer being
twice overruled on an appeal from his
decisions.
The amendment, however, was not
agreed to until Mr.. Hemenway had ex-
hausted unsuccessfully every means at
his disposal to check the tide against
him. In order to adopt the amendment
il was necessary to read page OF
the bill already passed over, a pro-
cedure also unusual.
Seeing that he had been outflanked
by Mr.. Burton, Mr.. Hemenway several

move the passage Of the bill, which
was carried amid loud applause. The
bin carries total appropriation Of s65,-
