CURIOUS EFFECTS OF SHELLS.
Three Cases of Loss of Senses of
Taste and Smell.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON February 15.-One of the
curious effects of shell explosion re-
ported at the military hospitals is the
loss of the sense of taste and smen. DR..
Charles Myers states that he has met
three cases of this in his own expert
ence The men received no flesh wounds
at all, but because of their loss OF
senses they could not distinguish by
taste between sugar. quinine. acid and
salt, which felt alike to the tongue.
These cases appear to constitute a
definite class among shell-shock eff
fects," says DR.. Myers. The shells in
question appear to have burst WITH
considerable noise, scattering much
dust, but this was not accompanied by
the production of odor. 1t is, there
fore. difficult to understand why hear
ing should be unaffected and the i'll
results confined to the senses of sight.
smell and taste. The close relation of
these cases to those of hysteria ap-
pears certain.

MADAME's BROOCH.
Copyright. 1918. by ". Werner,

Just how small her world had been
Allene had not the vaguest idea. 1t

her acquaintance with her uncle's
family that conception of its incon-
sequence dawned upon her. Even little
Bob, aged four. seemed to her aston
ishingly wise, and 1t was the twins.

safely over difficult crossings and pilot
ed her about the city. their knowledge
and presence of mind seeming quite as
marvellous as was the self-re1iance OF
jeff and Tom. twelve and fourteen re-
spectively. who were already assistant
bread winners for the family. their
education being largely q matter OF
night schools.
Allene's reception in her uncle's
family had been cordial enough. She
had no thought of being unWelcome or
a burden. therefore it was a matter of
troubled constraint of both uncle and
aunt. The strict economy, too, prac-
ticed In everything failed to attract
her attention. That, however. may have

books, the first duty each week being
the preparation of the sermons for the
next Sunday.
That being done, the time was their
own, but not a thought Of the NOR
row or a plan for the future ever OBJ
truded itself. and the paradise lasted
till one day Allene's father fell asleep
in his chair on the porch. to awaken.

congregation laid him tenderly by the
wife who had died when Allene was
born and finished their duty by furnish
relative, her mothers brother. living
in distant city.
Allene. in her new home, was not
unhappy. She liked her uncle and his
family. and the rush and hustle of the
city appealed to her. though not in
the sense of wishing to become a part
of it. 1t was just vast picture, always
changing, never the same, and not
once did 1t occur to her that she had
any function in life except that of be-
holder. 1t remained for little Bob to
open her eyes and give her sight.
"Allene," he said. standing before
her and looking her over inch by inch.
you're white, but you don't look like
any elephant at the ZOO"
why, no, DEAR" she laughed. What
do you mean?"

Happy Jack Is Perfectly
Happy.


Taking things for granted doesn't do
at all in this world. To take a thing
for granted is to think that 1t Is so
without taking the trouble to md out
whether IL Is or not. 1t Is apt not
only to get you yourself into trouble.
but to make trouble for other people
as well. Happy Jack Squirrel saw
Farmer Browns Boy carry Shadow the
Weasel away in a cage. and he saw
him bring back the cage empty. What
could he have done with Shadow For
a while he leased Farmer Browns Boy
to tell him, but. of course. Farmer
Browns Boy didn't understand Happy
Jacks language.
Now Happy Jack knew just what he
would like to believe. He would like
to believe that Farmer Browns Boy
end of him. And because he wanted
to believe that it wasn't very hard to
believe II. There was the empty cage.
OF course. Farmer Browns Boy
wouldn't have gone to the trouble of
trapping Shadow unless he intended to
get rid of him for good.
Hes made an end of him, that's
what he's done"' said Happy Jack TO
himself, because that is what he would
have done If he had been in Farmer
up his mind that this is what had been
done with Shadow the Weasel, he at
once told all his friends that it was SO.
and was himself supremely happy.
You see. he felt that he no longer had
anything to worry about. Yes. sir.
Happy Jack was happy. He liked the
house Farmer Browns Boy had made
for him in the big maple tree close by
his own house. He was sure of plenty
to eat. because Farmer Browns Boy
always looked out for that, and as Il
result he was growing fat. None of
his enemies of the Green Forest dared
come SO near to Farmer Browns house.
and the only one he had to watch out
for at all was Black Pussy. BY this
time he wasn't afraid of her-not
bit. In fact. he rather enjoyed teasing
