NERVES THAT STOP WORK.
odors Unnoticed After a Few Minutes
-Untiring Heart.

The most easily tried nerves in the
body are the nerves that smell. They
can detect the faintest Whit of per,
fume, says Stray Stories.
AS you pass in the rose garden, the
quantity of perfume that gets into
your nostrils must be many millions
of billions of times smaller than the
tiniest grain of sand. But rub the
strongest perfume to your mustache,
and in a few seconds you fail to no
tice it, the nerve of smell is so quick
ly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are quite distinct from the
nerves of ordinary sensation, also stop
working very quickly. A bath that
seems quite hot when you first step
into it, very oon ceases to cause any
particular feeling of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount of work.
For Is hours a day they work hard
and are still willing to do more.
The nerves of the heart are the
most untiring of all. From the first
dawn of life until the last gasp, they

men and city officials more or less in
terested in the proceedings. Some
times a visitor from some n~elghboring
city occupied a seat alongside the
mayor, and watched the proceedings.
To rule successfully such a body of
men required executive ability of a
high order. and judicial fairness. The
slightest symptom of playing favor
ties would get a mayor into hot wa
ter instantly. The aldermen wanted
a man In the chair who knew his bust
ness and who would give a fair hear
ing to any question which arose Dur
ing my time the council was with"
the mayor. That is, they entirely re-
spected and trusted him. although of
course they did not all like him. But
they never openly or secretly accused
him of any fayoritism, and they had
confidence in his judgment and opin.
ions.

FIGHTING FoRMosAN TRIBES.
Aborigines Willing to Give Up Enc
mics Skulls.

Several weeks ago ten communities
Of the Nan-Ow aboriginal tribe in
he Giran province of Formosa pro-
posed to the government to submit,
says the South China Post. Upon this
he government gave them the follow
Ing items Of conditions under which
he government was disposed to admit
their submission:
l. The aborigines concerned should
hand over to the government those
skulls which had been cut off the bod
les of the other tribes whom they
killed and are keeping in their houses
according to their habits.
2. The arms and ammunition should
all be surrendered to the government.
The aborigines agreed to the former
condition, but many of them objected
to the latter, and t%hereupon they gave
up the idea of submission. Since then
they are again offering resistance
against the government troops, APP
pearing here and there in the vicin-
ity of the Aiyu line "a guard line es-
tablished by the government against
the u~nsubjugated aborigines), but the
government troops having finished the
construction of their guardhouses, tel
ephone lines and wire entanglements,
and thus almost attaining their object,
are now chiefly paying attention to
their guard service, attaching less i'm
p~ortanee to their submission.

FORMS OF SPORT IN BURMAH.
Popularity of Bull Raclng-Pugilists
Strike with Their Eyes Shut.

A form of speculation not generally
known in England but very popular
in Burmah is bull racing. A certain
native sportsman is the owner of one
Of these bulls, for which he has re-
fused an offer of 10000 rupees. 1t has
won several races and is looked after
and as carefully tended as a Derby
favorite. The owner values it al 25,-
600 rupees, and it is said it brings
lem in an annual income of from 49,
600 to $4,000 rupees. 1t is carefully
guarded by four men lest it may be
got at and "doctored."
Burmans also ~patronize boxing
eagerly, but the art can scarcely be
practiced according to Queensberry
rules, for We are told by a provincial
reporter that he has observed that
even the best boxers strike out with
eyes tightly shut, and If they dc
hit each other it is more by chance
anything else. "-Calcutta States

VALUE OF RAW APPLES.
Ideal Food for Those Who Would Live
Long and Be Vigorous.

Many persons fancy that raw apples
are ~indigestible, and only endurable
in the early morning. Doubtless the
old adage, that fruit is gold in the
morning, silver in the middle Of the
day, and lead at night, is to some ex-
tent answerable for this Ito my way
of thinking) impression.
Dieticians tell us that ripe, ray ap-
pies contain more phosphates in pro-
portion to their bulk than any other
article of food, fish not excepted. A
recent writer on this point boldly de
Clares that in this lies the secret of
healthful longevity. They correct
biliousness and act as a sedative upon
the racked nerves and allay insomnia.
Eat uncooked apples constantly, al
though, of course, in moderation, and
drink distilled water only, and years
will be added to YOU life, while the
evidences of age will be long in com,
ing"
This argument is based on the sup
position that, as age advances, the de.
posits of mineral matter in the system
Increase, and that aging is little more
than a gradual process of Justification.
P~hosphoric acid contains the least
amount of earth salts, and, for that
reason, is probably the nearest ap-
spoach to the elixir of life known to
The scientific world.
If you want to live long, to retain
your youth at the same time and to
increase your brain tissue, eat plenty
Of apples, drink only distilled water
and eat as little bread as possible.
Tart apples are far more wholesome
than sweet, and all, like potatoes,
should be fully ripe when eaten.

The Econmy of Turbine Enxine.

When the great Cunard Liners Lusitania and Mauretania were put in commission there was a general dis position to believe that they would reach the speed expected of them because it had been pretty well established that the turbine engine was capable of developing higher speeds than the best reciprocating engine. There was much uncertainty. however, as to whether or not the new motive machinery would prove as economical as the reciprocating machinery. It was admitted in advance that at slow speeds it would not do as we'll from economcial point of view asthe old system. but as it was high speed that was aimed at that feature of the case could be safely dismissed from con- sideration.
 The new giant steamers have now been running long enought to furnish some figures as to their coal consump- tion. The bare figures in tons of coal. when considered by themselves. look formidable as showing the immense cost of speed in fuel expended, buG as speed was the prime essential to be considered, the point to be deter mined was whether the Lusitania or her sister ship consumed more coal per horsepower per hour than the best vessels equipped with reciprocating engines.

One by one they have been tearing down the old land marks in New York. Tn the past six months three famous old hotels have closed their doors. but a living landmark has new sprung up in defence of the old familiar sights that Gothamites so fondly cherished, in the person of Apple Jane"
 For years Apple Jane" had her stand in front of the Custom House where she sold apples year after year. and was known to everyone Two years ago she was notified by the cus- todian of the Custom House that she would have to move her stand and un- til last week she dropped out of sight as far as general public was concern ed. But in the mantime Apple Jane" was busy pulling political wires until finally Uncle Sam has been obliged to reIent.
 She Is now doing business at the old stand. She is jokinRly called the first lady of the land" because she sits literally at the gate Of the met tropolis where most of the immigrants land when they come ashore from Ellis Island. This living Battery landmark has never been out of the immediate neighborhood in which she was born.

COST OF GovERNmENT.
The Enormous Figure. of Recent


 If we except the most active period of the Cicil war, the total drafts upon the treasury of the United States during the past congress have been greater than at any period in our his- tory. Tn the year 1865 the total ap- propriation was S1,309. .000. 900, of which $I.OS0 100000 was spent upon the army. The appropriations, for the. fiscal year The largest appropriation for a single department was that for the post -office which was over SPA. .000, ,00n. The next in size was that for pensions of over $163.000, 900. The permanent annual ap- propriation is over $154, ,000, ,000. The most significant feature of the appro- priations during the year is the great amount of attention that has been given to the building up of the milis tary branch of the government and the expenditures for the army. and navy. when the country war in the throes of the Civil war, have been the largest made in the history of the country. The army was granted over $95, ,000. 900: over $9,500,000 was appropriated for carrying on the fortihcation or our sea coast, and $846,000 was appropriated for the military academy. Moreover. under military expenses should be in- cluded the s165. .000, 900 which will be spent on pensions. If we add to this the sum of s123,o00.00O appropriated ture for military purposes of one kind or another, direct or Indirect. of nearly $400. .000.00 truly colossal sum when we bear in mind that our standing army today is not over 10000 in strength.-Scientihc American.
