Why do you take eight strokes

letter is one stroke. The tongue
takes one stroke to make a sound.
The pen should do the same. Think
on it--are you not wasting seven
Fights of your time every time you
write letter? Is not your boy
wasting seven-eights of his time
when he learns to write. One
stroke is learned in one-eighth of
the time that eight strokes are. IL
is illogical not to write as rapidly

THE SENSE OF FEELING.
A Simple and Convincing Experiment
In Touch Delusion.

J The various optical illusions"
by means of which straight lines are
caused to appear crooked apd OBJ
jects of equal size are rendered to
all appearance decidedly unequal
are more or less familiar to every
reader, but there are other striking
receptions of the senses that are
not so frequently experimental
with. A French savant pointed out
several surprisingly easy ways in
which we are misled in our percep-
ton of heat and cold and of pres
sure.
a simple and convincing expert
ment of this kind may be made in
the following manner: Take two sill
yer dollars and place one of them
upon a marble table or mantel,
while the other is rubbed briskly be-
tween the hands. In this manner
a slight difference of temperature
between the two pieces of metal
will be produced
Then ask some one to incline his
head backward, closing his eyes. Lay
the warm dollar upon his forehead
for moment, remove it and quick
ly substitute the cold one. You
will hardly be able to convince him
that they are Of equal weight. The |
cold piece always seems to be much |
heavier than the other.
The explanation of this phenom-
enon is that the metal which has
been rubbed between the hands has
assumed nearly the temperature of
the body, and when it is placed
upon the forehead the sense of
touch is affected by the pressure
alone.
But the metal which has been
cooled, BEING at a lower temperature
han the skin, affects the sense in
/ double manner, and the subject
If the experiment, not being able to I
distinguish clearly between the eff
