Sense of Taste.

In many cases the sense of smell is wanting from birth, but the sense of taste has never been found to be ab- sent. So says Dr. R. Foerster, & Ger man authority, in an article repub- lished in the Scientific American. Even a newborn child which, in conse- quence of insufficient development, had no brain, still had a sense of taste; it's facial expression altered when substances of different taste were given to 1t. The fact that the sense of taste is never absent at birth shows of what importance this sense is for the existence of man. With age the sense of taste becomes less extended through deadening of the nerve endings. and near the close of lite ceases altogether. Under the same condition. therefore, old people taste much less effectively than young er people. In the child the sense of taste is more widely distributed in the mouth than in other people.

ciple involved Is not generally known
 The yeast fungus. when once intro duced into a manure-heap suitable to it's development. spreads rapidly, and soon has the whole mass in state of heat.
 Horse manure Is tho best, espe. cially when the horse has been fed on rich foods, such as grain. bran and oilmeal. The bulk of the manure should be urine-soaked straw, that which has served as bedding in the stalls Forest leaves, when mixed in with straw. make a heat that is most powerful and lasting
 The manure should be hauled di- rectly from the stalls to the beds. and piled in conical heap, leaving 1t until fermentation has set up.
 Before fermentation becomes too lively which is ascertained by the es- caping steam, the pile should be fork ed over into another part of the frame and left over until the escape of steam Is again noticeable, then it should be tramped into the frame per fectly solid
 If the manure is very hot, the soil should be put on at once. but if not. the sash should be placed over the manure for few days, until the manure Is we'll heated, then the soil put on.
 The bed should be watched, and as soon as the seeds of weeds which are in the soil begin to come up all over the bed 1t is time to plant the garden seed
 Do not neglect the ventilation. as the bed will get very warm on sunny days. at which time the sash should be opened little at the top, and be careful that no direct draft reaches the tender plants
 covering of old carpet or mating is good to place over the sash during cold nights, and during the day, when there is much sunshine. The frames should be closed before nightfall es- pecially on cloudy afternoons, and they should have manure banked up around them during the cold spells.
 As soon as the plants are two or three inches tall, they should be transplanted to the cold frames which are not unlike the hotbeds, ex- cept that they have no bottom heat. and are covered with muslin to keep off the chill and frost.

Qruldical Burial

A solemn yet quaintly picturesque ceremony was witnessed in Streatham Park cemetery the other afternoon. when, with full Druidical honors. the last sad offices were performed in con nection with the death of MT. John Everson, one of the best-known mem bers of the Order of Druids in South London. The hearse was preceded to graveside by the Druid's band, which played the Dead March," while on either side of the coffin walked officers of the "Goodfellow" lodge, carrying Druidical crooks and wands draped in mourning. Around the graveside assembled representatives of the ma jority of the lodges south of the Thames, most of whom wore regalia, and after the commitment prayers had been uttered, the crookbearers lined up on either side of the open grave. and performed the last Druidical rite standing in solemn silence with their crooks linked over the cofnn of their departed brother.

In the older apartments and houses. where there are only the middle lights in the room, the only way of solving this difficulty Is by the use of table lamps These should be selected in view of their usefulness. as well as their decorative merit.

MIGHT MAKE WORLD BETTER
Spread of erwin Disposition" Surely Would Do Little Harm If It
 Was More Prevalent.

There are twin girls and they live at New Rochelle. They are several years old apiece. It is popularly sup posed that their mother can tell them apart, but nobody else can. If she cannot she does make that fact public. It is enough that each probably can tell herself apart, but even this Is not necessary, for they are so devoted to each other that they are as one, and it makes no difference which one. They are inseparable, loving and con- siderate. Each regards the other as the only one.
 These heavenly twins live next door to a lady who loves them as they deserve and between their home lawn and hers there Is no dividing fence. A few days ago one of the twins, by some extraordinary circumstance sepa- rated moment from her other self. went to visit their older friend An orange was lying on the table and af- ter the exchange of the usual cour- tesies the hostess gave 1t to her guest. It was received with thanks and at once he hostess realized that a dupli- cate must be sent to sister. She went to her larder to get 1t and when she returned to the front room her visitor had disappeared. Madam stepped to the door and across the lawn she saw a speck of twin. running toward her own home, her hair flying and fat legs twinkling in the sunlight. Madam called her back and she returned pal pitating Here is another orange" her friend said, flor you to take to sister"
 Oh" said the twin, surprised, "I was jus runnin' to take her half of Shis one"
 What a pity" said madam, in tell ing a friend. the twin disposition is not more prevalent

A popular material for evening cloaks this season is brocaded velvet, sometimes closely resembling in ap- pearanoe and design the stamped vel vet so widely used some years ago for upholstering furniture. The colors of these cloaks are often very brilliant. cobalt blue for example, trimmed with white fox; rose pink, trimmed with white panne and dark skunk. or bright mustard yellow.

HoTBED IS VERY IMPORTANT

Rv I " GRIFFINN

(By J. w. GRlFFIN.)
 The hotbed Is a very important part of a well-kept garden. It lengthens the season in which we may supply our tables with fresh vegetables.
 A bed that is 12 feet long and 6 feet wide will accommodate four reg ular-sized sashes. 3x6 feet. In this bed we have 4S squares of space. which Is sufficient to grow the plants for & good-sized garden. A garden. three or four hotbeds and some cold. frames Is a good start toward sue cessful truck farming.
 The best location for the hotbed is on the south side of the building. a high. tight board fence. or one pro tected by a heavy growth of ever greens for a windbrake.
 The site should be little higher than the surrounding surface so that good drainage may be secured. Make an excavation little wider and 8 little longer than the bed is to be.
 The inside dimensions for bed 6 feet wide and 12 feet long will be $ feet 4 inches wide, and 12 feet 4 inches long. The excavation should be about feet deep. The opening should be boarded up with Pinch stun for keeping out the mice and moles, Where possible. the beds should face southeast, or directly east
 The back of the frame should be 16 inches. and the front about inches high. This gives sufficient fall for water from rains or snows to drain off nicely, and the rays of sunshine will have better opportunity to get at the small seedlings.
 The preparation of the manure is not such a particular job as is gen. erally supposed, but the simple prin-

STEEL OUTLOOK GOOD

New York, August 29.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Evidences of reviving commercial and
Industrial activity steadily multiply, and
business optimism is becoming wide-
spread.
This spirit of confidence finds a renec-
ton in the more general anticipation of
Future requirements and since merchan-
disc stocks at all leading points must be
replenished, prospects are encouraging for
a satisfactory fall and winter season.
The restrictive influence of tariff re-
vision is somewhat less manifest and the
expansion in trade is facilitated by the
improved monetary situation, increasing
preparations for remote needs being stim-
ulated by the broader absorption of COM
mercial papers at lower prices.
Conditions in iron and steel have been
rather better than expected this month.
Reports from the dry goods market con-
tinue gratifying to the trade A genef-
ally improved comparison with the two
preceding years is shown in bank clear
ings this week. The total at all leading
centers amounts now to s2,400.2s5,S05. an
incre ease of Oh per cent over last year.
Failures this week numbered 80,
against PSI last year and 2S In Canada,
compared with q a year before.
New York, August 29.-Bradstreet-
weekly trade review tomorrow will say:
In some respects trade reports suggest
somewhat more irregular movements.
Western advices indicate conservative
buying, presumably reflex of reports of
reduced crop yields. At the same time
they proclaim that trade is equal to or In
excess of that done at this time last year,
when operations certainly were growing.
On the other hand, the more important
eastern markets, particularly those hay-
ing to do with textiles display more vim.
House trade has enlarged and mills in
stead of making concessions are insisting
upon higher prices.
Incidentally there are few dissenting
notes as to the outlook for fall trade and
advices as to low stocks are we'll ngn
unanimous.
As before stated, conservatism Is likely
to be practiced In certain sections where
crops fall short of earlier expectations.

ashington.-Charles G. Glover, the
Washington banker, who recently at
tackled Representative Sims of Ten
nessee on account of a speech deliv-

the bar of the house Saturday and
reprimanded by Speaker Clark for vio-

A resolution authorizing the bank
er's arrest had been adopted a few

votes.
When brought in by the sergeant at
arms Glover read an apology, saying
that his act was committed under
great stress of feeling, and that he
did not know he was affronting the
house.
This is the first time in nearly 40
years that an outsider had been ar.
raigned before the house for contempt.
