Functions Of Taste Nerves.

A wine expert was tasting wines.
in tasting sweet wines he lowered his
head upon his breast. In tasting dry
or sour ones he threw his head back.
"Why do you do that?" said a spec
tator.
81 don't know. Habit, I guess" the
expert replied.
you do it," the spectator explain.
ed, because the front of your tongue
can only taste sweet things and the
back of it only sour things and the
movement Of your head is for the
purpose Of throwing the wines upon
the right part Of your tongue. The
taste nerves have different functions,
some handling sweets, others sours,
others bitters and so on, just as the
muscles have different functions, some
working the leg and some the arm"
well, WELL" said the expert. "You
surprise me. At the same time I'm
sure you are right. Everybody, come
to think Of It, holds sweet things on
the forepart of the tongue to get their
flavor and sour things on the hind
part"

Layman's Praise.

A well-known presiding elder tells q

pastor Of the charge, desiring to Inn
press the congregation with the I'M
portance and dignity of the speaker Of
the day, thus introduced him: "Breth-
rem and sisters, it is now my great
pleasure and delight to introduce the
Rev. Mr., Blank, the sounding brass

addressed the same congregation some
months later he was introduced as

GHOST WHISPERS SAVE TRAIN.
Kindly Shade Sits Beside Engineer
and Guards Him.

No danger turks in the path of No.
Is. Two drivers perch on the same
bench in the locomotives cab and
guide its destiny. One is Horace L.
Seaver, veteran engineer and hero OF
numerous hairbreadth escapes; the
other is the ghost of man that was.
Unseen. unheard, the specter has
been at the throttle for years. guiding
and guarding the lives of those sleep
ing in the darkened coaches behind.
No. Is is the Big Four fast express
which runs into Chicago over the ILL.,
nois Central tracks from Kankakee.
The train is pulled by an Illinois Gen.
trail locomotive, of which Mr.. Seaver
is the engineer. For AZ years the
veteran has been handling the throttle
of Illinois Central engines.
For 43 years Mr.. Seaver has been
a Spiritualist, not one of the table
raising, bell-ringing kind, but an in
telligent believer that spirit bodies
exist. He says he has had innumer.
able evidences that a spirit hand
guided his engine through fearful dan
gers and happy escapes. Whenever
he climbs up in his cab he knows that
the spectral engineer is sitting beside
him. ready to extend the hand of warn
ing in time of need.
Mr.. Seaver was In the cab, gazing
far out along the track one dark night,
wondering how many more trips he
would make before his good spirit de-
serted him. In the train were more
than 1000 old soldiers going to re-
union at Champaign, Ill. The throttle
was out to the last notch and the
speed more than 60 miles an hour.
Suddenly the engineer heard soft
voice whispering in his ear:
The bridge is burned; the bridge Is
burned"
AS quickly as possible Mr.. Seaver
set the air brakes and stopped the
train. In the coaches 1000 old soldiers
were sleeping. The conductor hurried
forward to the engine.
What do you mean by stopping this
train out here" he demanded, angrily.
You would better go along the
track and find out" said the engineer,
quietly.
Only few feet ahead of the engine
was the river and over the river hung
the charred remains of the big bridge,
which had burned only a short time
before. The 1000 veterans were
saved.
This happened in 1890. and Mr..
Seaver was hailed as . hero all over
the country.
But it wasn't me that did it," said
the engineer, modestly. 1T was some
thing unseen, something that we do
not know anything about. / did not
deserve any credit at all. just needed
the warning that was given me. There
are numerous other instances where
the same voice has given me warn
ing just in time to save the lives OF
