Taste Is Localized.

Taste is curiously localized in the
mouth. Put lump of sugar on the
tip Of your tongue and you will find
II distinctly sweet. Then try 1t half
way back on the tongue and you will
find II tasteless. All sweet or aroma
tic substances, such as wine, sugar
and coffee, can be properly appre-
ciated by the front half of the tongue.
piece of knowledge that every true
connoisseur applies when he sips in
stead of taking mouthful. With
most other substances. however. the
reverse is true. In these cases the
tip of the tongue serves only for touch
ing-it is the back part that tastes.
The sides Of the mouth too are quite
insensible to certain substances not
tasteless Put some salt or vinegar
between the teeth and the cheek and
you will find them absolutely flavor
less.

God Meets Us in Christ.

Emmanuel, which, being interpret,
ed is, God with us. Matt. 1:23.)
We have been hearing a great deal
about the Immanence of God, and
many are captivated by the delightful
thought of having God in such close
contact with our finite life But the
Immanence of God apart from Jesus
Christ is Pantheism or Theosophy. In
his natural state man is not in fellow

the normal state of our fallen human
nature. 1t is a cruel comfort 10 talk

Jesus Christ has brought us nigh
to God, and only in believing union
with Him and through the heavenly
birth which He Brings to every re-

The origin Of Fire.

We have no evidence of the time
when man did not have the knowl-
edge of producing fire. II is certain
that man possessed fire as far
back as Quarternary time. In the
case of the earliest cave men we find
numerous hearths, ashes and cinders,
bone wholly or partly calcined, and
fragments of pottery blackened by
smoke. As far back as we can go We
find man cooking his food. As to how
men came by their knowledge of fire
there is room for a wide difference Of
opinion. It's use was probably first
known in some volcanic region where
It was suggested by nature itself Then
came the two sticks, and later on
the fints. by means of which men
could produce the necessary agent at

of short stumps In pruning and other
neglect cause mutilations of the trunk
and stems of trees that need attention.
Tree surgery therefore forms one of
the important divisions of the care of
trees. Cavities in trees, no matter
how caused, are thoroughly cleaned
Of all decayed wood, painted with tar
and filed with cement 1t is process
very much similar 10 that of filling a
tooth
Small cavities are filled with the
usual cement mixture of one part Of
portland sement to two parts of sand.
In the case Of larger cavities bricks
and stones are used to retain the con-
crete, and the result is that a strong
masonry column is erected within the
hollow tree, and it is thus strengthen
ed. The filling follows the contour Of
the tree. But the cement Is not filed
flush with the outside bark OF the tree,
but is filled up to the line separating
the bark from the first layer of wood
80 that the new growth Of wood will
form a callous around the border Of
the filled cavity, and in time the bark
will roll over the cement and cover 1t
entirely, leaving no trace Of the ce-
ment exposed.

How Lightning Splits Trees.

Lightning makes trees explode like
overcharged boilers. The flame of the
lightning does not burn them up. nor
does the electric flash split them like
an axe. The bolt flows through into
all the damp interstices. of the trunk
and into the hollows under its bark.
All the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate ex-
plosion rips open the tree. For GEN.
turies this simple theory puzzled
scientists, but they have got in right
at last.

Merchants who use the ADVERTISING
space in their town papers to the best
advantage are the ones who do the
least complaining about losing theii
old time customers.
Nowadays every merchant who does
any successful business advertises in
the local papers, but it is a well known
fact that many of them fail to get the
full efficiency of the space for which
they pay.
The ancient standing ad." which
calls attention to Zones & Co., Staple
and Fancy Groceries Always In Stock"
serves to tell the people that Jones &
Co. are still open for business, but it
does not tell them just why they
should trade with Jones & Co. instead
of with Brown Bros, who print in
their advertising space a list of bar

No man ever had more varied en-.
dowment than Solomon, whose men,
ory is cherished by Jews, Christians
and Mohammedans alike.
He had such unbounded wealth that
we are told he made silver as the
stones of the streets in his capital
city. He had a wisdom that so amazed
men that they came from the ends of
the earth to hear him. He had such
skill in ruling that he left behind him
worldwide fame that will endure to
the end of time.
But this singular historian who
tells us the story of his life reminds
us that he had something beyond
these things. The greatest of Gods
gifts to man is not a mighty brain, not
full purse, not to have his name on
everybody's lips. but to have a gen
erous spirit-"largeness o. heart" as
1t is called in this text.
The Bible has a great deal to say
about a mans heart. The mind OF
man is not ignored. We are told to
love God with all our mind But no
one can read the Bible without dis.
corning that it's chief concern is with
the heart. The Scriptures with un.
mistakable clearness declare the su.
premacy of the heart over the brain.
You may train the intellect and not
make a man mite better. 1t was
said of one of the greatest of English.
men that he was not only the wisesl
and brightest but also the meanest OF
mankind. But you cannot cultivate
the graces OF the heart without max.
ing man good as well as great. No
body impeaches the intellectual power
of the devil, and it is lack of heart
that makes him devil. On the other
hand, the best portrayal of God we
have is in that wonderful phrase thai
tells us that He is full of compass.
sion" And it is His "largeness OF
heart" that draws us to Him and
makes us worship Him.
And that is why the Bible says
Keep thy heart with diligence, for
out of it are the issues of life." II
the heart is full of good intentions 1t
is easy to speak well and to do well.
If the heart is a nest of evil desires
wickedness is the natural and inevita-
BILE outcome of it.
We drill the minds of our children
in knowledge. we train their hands to
trade, but too often we let the heart
take its own way. Somebody has said
that If an inhabitant of another world
should visit ours and study the cata,
logues of our schools he would con.
clude that our race has no heart, so
much provision is made for the train.
ing of the mind and the heart is so
ignored.
II our heart is dwarfed, if our SYM
pathies are narrow, if our interest in
the needs of people about us is cold
and dead, there is but one remedy
We must ask the Creator of the heart
to help us and make us tender in spir.
it, and we must exercise the heart by
helping others.
