SENSE OF TASTE.
Curious seIeetive Powers Exhibited by
the Tongue.

Curious SeleetiVe Powers Exhibited by
the Tongue.
Four classes-sweet. bitter, salt and
acid-have been assigned to the sense
of taste in human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
duce all the delicious sensations that
we ascribe TO taste as well as all the
disagreeable impressions Of that sense
The tongue, however, is not equally
sensitive in all parts to these sensa-
lions. Indeed. il has been shown that
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip of the
tongue. for instance. is most sensitive
to sweet and TO acid tastes. while il is
far less capable of perceiving n bitter
taste than any other part of the organ
Some persons are unable TO perceive
piled only to the tip of the tongue.
At the back of the tongue the bitter
ness of the drug is perceived at once.
An explanation of the curious selec-
tive powers exhibited by the tongue
Is that a variety of nerve fibers are
present in that organ. each kind being
sensitive only to one of the four prin
cipal classes of taste. These nerve q.
bers are distributed in varying mum.
bers over different parts of the tongue.
At the tip, for example, the nerves that
are sensitive to sweet and acid stimuli
are most numerous, and accordingly
in that locality those tastes are the
ones most readily perceived. At the
back of the tongue. on the contrary,
the nerve fibers concerned in the per
ception of bitterness prevail over the
others.-New York Press.

No Black on Natures Palette.

Nature uses no black In any part OF

berry and the so called black pansy.
On bright. clear day shadows on the
snow are pale ultramarine blue; under
a blue sky in midsummer the color of
the placid lake is cobalt blue and the
shadows on the grass are lilac; on a
weathered gray boardwalk they are
nearly as blue as the sky itself. The
palpltating atmosphere of warm
July day lifts the colorlng of the land

stead Of reducing it with gray, and in
the autumn, when the sugar naples

lilac. In fine, when the sun shines

we are prone TO believe is gray. is re-

TERRIBLE WEAPONS.
Feroeious Knives Welded by the Ma.
tives of Hindustan.

The weapon common to every part
of Hindustan, so as TO deserve the
name of the national arm, is the ska
tar" This is broad, two edged dag
ger, the hilt of which is formed some
thing like an III, the hand grasping the
crossbar. which is generally double,
while the side bars extend on each
side of the wrist.
Some katars are made with five
blades which unite into one, but by
squeezing together the crossbars di-
verge like the fingers of hand when
the thrust has been given. Other ka-
tars are made in sets of two or even
three, of diminishing sizes, the blades
Of the larger being hollow and form
ing sheaths for the smaller.
Some of the southern Indian katars.
known as death givers." are immense
weapons, nearly two feet long i'm the
blade. and the hits are mass of
fantastic scrollwork and NEUROLOGICAL
holsters. the cobra with expanded
hood figuring largely.
There is also the "bich'hwa," or
scorpions sting, n doubly curved dag.
ger; the "khanjar." larger form of
the same. and the "peshkabz," or
hunting knife. But none of these elab-
crate weapons has about it the terri
bly, "businesslike' look of the Khyber
knife (ch'hura). with its ponderous sim
gle edged. tapering blade and plain
ivory hilt.-Chambers' Journal.

TO BE HELD JUNE 4
Arrangements Made at Meeting of
Aerie Last Night to Hold Outing
at the Hancock Grove in
West Hancock.

The Hancock Aerle of Eagles will
hold their annual picnic and outing
Sunday, June 4, at Condons grove i'm
west Hancock preliminary action to
this end being taken at a regular ses-
sion of the Eagles held last evening at
the Rouleau hall. The picnic of the
Eagles will mark the opening OF the
grove for the season, and a program of
events, and features of entertainment
will be prepared at once by the enter
tainment committee of the lodge. There
will of course be the usual parade,
headed by a band, from the lodge
rooms in town out to the grove, where
dancing. music, athletic sports and re-
freshments will afford entertainment
and enjoyment for the large crowd
which will undoubtedly turn out. The
dancing pavilion is being put in shape
for the summer, lights are being
placed where needed, and the grounds
being raked and cleared of rubbish.
The Eagles are anticipating one OF the
best picnics in their history.
The Hancock Eagles expect to unite
with the Calumet aerie in the observ-
ance of the Eagles Memorial day,
which in upper Michigan by special
dispcnsation of the grand lodge takes
place on May 80, instead of at the ear
lier date in vogue among Eagles else
where. 1t is probable that a special
program of memorial exercises will be
arranged for the occasion. with adj
dresses by well known members of the
order who will eulogize the departed
Eagles whose souls have taken flight
from earth.
